From Gordonsville
Gordonsville, Oct. 24
   There was a reported cavalry skirmish at Beale's Station yesterday:
   The enemy attempted to capture our wagons, engaged in hauling railroad iron from the torn-up track. They were attacked by our cavalry, and driven off.
   *****
{The iron being transported was probably from the Orange & Alexandria RR which Lee's army had totally destroyed from Bristoe to Rappahannock the week before.}
