Scott's losses are unknown. Reports of further skirmishing along the Rappahannock indicate light casualties as Pope holds positions and resists rebel efforts to turn our flank. Guerrilla resistance yields limited gains. observers note Federal and rebel movements along the Rapidan and Warrenton area.
