POST REPUBLIC, Va., Monday, June 9.

 

We have had stirring times in this Department. JACKSON took his trains over the river here on Friday, and returned and gave us battle yesterday, five miles from this place, on the Harrisonburgh road. The battle for two hours raged fiercely. SCHENCK had the right, MILROY the centre, and the Blenker Division the left. SCHENCK was not assailed except by skirmishing fighting. MILROY was in the hottest of the fight and drove the enemy back from point to point. The first brigade of the Blenker division, under Gen. STAHL, fought well and held the enemy back for some two hours, suffering a great loss from a destructive fire from the enemy. The left wing finally gave way, and our whole line was ordered back half a mile, to a more favorable position. The enemy did not advance, but commenced a retreat, as we learn here, previous to our falling back, and by 10 o'clock this morning their whole army had crossed the river, and set fire to the bridge. We pursued, but not in time to save the bridge. Surgeon CANTWELL, of the Eighty-second Ohio, was wounded, not dangerously. Capt. CHAS. WORTH was mortally wounded. The Seventy-third Ohio lost four killed and three wounded; the Third Virginia, four killed and thirteen wounded; the Fifth Virginia, three killed and seventeen wounded; the Twenty-fifth Ohio, six killed and sixty-eight wounded; the Sixtieth Ohio, four killed and eleven wounded. STAHL's Brigade lost in killed, wounded and missing, 405 privates and 22 officers. Several colonels and captains were wounded, and one captain killed, in the Blenker Division. BOHLEN's Brigade lost ten killed and seventy wounded. The Bucktails lost one killed and ten wounded. Our total loss will be from 100 to 150 killed, and from 400 to 500 killed and wounded. The enemy's loss was very heavy. Four hundred of their dead, by actual count, were found unburied on one field. From the numbers of their dead scattered in other parts of the battle-ground, it is believed that there are two hundred more of their dead on the field; making their loss in killed six hundred, beside, officers, who were carried away. Gen. STEWART was killed, Gen. ELSIE wounded, Col. HAUGHTON mortally wounded, and Gen. JACKSON wounded in the wrist. Col. S.S. CARROLL, of Ohio, with two regiments of SHIELDS' Division, reached the opposite side of the river from here yesterday morning, and attempted to hold the bridge, but was driven back by JACKSON. He opened with his artillery this morning on the bridge, as the rebel army were crossing, but was driven back by the superior forces of JACKSON, and retreated down the river.
