THE WAR.
None can complain now of the inaotivity of our
Virginia campaign. Event has euooeeded event
so rapidly within the past fortnight that the
unmilitary mind becomes perplexed in attempt
ing to arrive at any definite information
as to what has been done, or what might
have been done. So many incomprehensible
and irreoonoilable despatches appear in print, so
many strategic points aro occupied that oannot be
found on any attainable war map, so many confi
dent prophecies are uttered that this rebel general
will be entrapped and that rebel general cut off
from his supp:ies, that the reading public finds
itself in an inextricable maze whenever a grand
battle does take place. We shall therefore
place in a oloar light, but briefly, the re
4nita a the_ fighting • of .Friday' and Sa
turday last.G
- aneral Pope at
tacked the rebels at Haymarket, a ilittonr-..-41.
Manassas Gap railroad, about eight miles west of
Manassas Junction. The result was a most com
plete victory, 'which was to be followed up on the
following day by a renewal of the offensive.
Saturday came, and with it, unfortunately for us,
and most unexpectedly, came heavy reinforeemmta
to the rebels, who in tarn became the assailants.,
To a prudent officer like General Pope, a retro
grade movement was the only policy of safety left.
That prudent policy was most skilfully and meows
fully enacted. Our army has retired in good order.
to an almost impregnable position at Centreville,
where it will immediately be reinforced, where it
has direct communication with Washington, where
it can obtain all necessary supplies without danger
of cavalry raids in its roar, and where it will as
suredly gain strength for an immediate forward
movement. There is nothing in the de
spatches giving us this information that need dis
courage any truly loyal man—nothing discourag
ing in a prudent retrogression, which will be bat
temporary—nothing discouraging in the fact that
General . Pope has been joined by Franklin—no
thing discouraging in the fact that " Sumner was on
the maroh"—nothing discouraging in the fact that
Gen. pope is expeCted promptly to renew the con
test. The advantages or disadvantages of this with
drawal to Centreville remain to be seen; but this
much we know, that, whether gOod or evil may
result, the movement as not in ttself a defeat.
We of the North have much of the shaping of its
consequences on our own hands. ' if in our apathy
we neglect to send forward the needed reinforce
ments to a rengthen General Pope, the responsi
bility of failure rests leas on that officer thanoi:on
ourselves.
THE NEWS.
VERY full details of the second battle of Bull
Run appear on our first page as telegraph. Al
though subsequent 'despatches detract somewhat
from our triumph as first reported, no have never
theless no cause for dejection, but many reasons for
hopefulness. 'We aro fighting an enemy whose des
peration impels him to fearful risks. These risks
he twill incur once too often,. •
AT the Ventral freight depot in Buffalo are
temporarily deposited two large cannon bhUnd for
St. Louis, of . the same pattern as those in use on
the Monitor, which are to be used on a gunboat
with revolving turrets. They are fourteen feet in
length, twelve'feet in circumference at the breech,
and carry solid shot weighing one hundred and
seventy. two -.pounds, and shell weighing one hun
dred and forty four pounds. Sixteen thousand
pounds of metal were embodied In each. Their
calibre is about twelve inches.
A VIOLBNT TiffIRLYILND passed over North Cro
ton, Now - Hampshire, on the 22d instant. Its track
was limited, but the wind was qaite destructive to
trees, corn, and standing grain, wherever it struck.
The hoes/ of John Kidder was moved about ten
feet from its foundation, and split open. The chim
ney and shed were destroyed, and the barn was
also blown down. There wore two children in the
house, but they were not injured.
WE print to day details of the heart-rending
misfortune to the Pacific mail steamer Golden
Gate, whereby so many of the passengers perished
by fire or water. A more fearful oasualty has
seldom startled our community, an that it does
not excite more general comment is due to the ex
citements of the war.
Tai pistols of Daniel O'Connell were recently
sold at anotion in London. With one, of these, in
1845, O'Connell shot D'Estere. An inscription
inside the pistol ease stated that D'Estere was
promised £l,OOO down and £l,OOO for life, by the
Dublin Orangemen, if he killed O'Connell. Tins
pistols brought £1 18s:
Thum have been a number of fires in Canandai
gua of late, and the presence of incendiaries is sus
pected. The fires occurred under circumstances
that.oan leave little doubt that they were the re
sult of design.
FROM the Southwest, we publish much interesting
news, includieg official accounts of the battle of
Lone Jack, uud the taking of Independence, Mis
souri. The conduct of our troops, in these engage
ments, is placed in a west creditable light. .
The Battles in Virginia
Ihrhat we have to say to-day is told in ano
ther column. Beyond the brief, nervous, and
sententious narratives of our 'correspondents,
the great, events of the last week require
neither explans.tion — nor comment. Nev'erin
the history of the world have scenes like the
scenes of these recent August days been chro
nicled. We are bewildered in contemplating
the mighty drama. Wepee smoke, and dust,
and dead men—men in the agonies of death,
magnificent evolutions in the field, won
derfill exhibitions of intrepidity and valor,
the bayonet charge, the battery taken, the
repulse of cavalry, the details of war,
its circumstance, and its fearful pomp,
and we anxiously seek for the meaning
and the end. It is not to us so much that so
many men have been killed—we must ask for
the bleeding wounds of our country before we
think of personal misfortunes. After a con
test, terrible beyond all description or 'be
lief, it is our proud duty to-day to bless
Almighty God for having vouchsafed a great
triumph to our arms, and for having enabled
the armies of the Republic to inflict the
death-blow upon the conscript levies of a de
perate rebellion.
The movements of the different armies in
Virginia have been fullyydetailed in these co
lumns. Our correspondents, and those of our
staff whose business it is more particularly to
follow and explain the movements of tho army,
have shown the different designs of the
contending generals; bow Moamar; came
from the Peninsula, and Jackson, taking
advantage of* his weakness, came to the
Rapidan; how Buenos moved up the
Rappahannock, while LEE, with his over
whelming columns, came swooping over
the
..mountains ; hoW General Porn, by 1.
well-fought battle and a well-managed re.
treat, fell back beyond an untenable line of de
fence, and, unitingyith the other forces in the
army, prepared to meet the rebel onset. That
meeting culminated in one of the most despe
rate and sanguinary battles that have ever boon
fought upon the earth, and the narrative of
that battle is what we give to our readers to
day.
We think we are not anticipating wildly
when we say that upon the plains of Centre
ville and in the beautiful and romantic region
that lies around Manassas and its adjacent
hills, the rebellion has made its last and
mightiest effort to annihilate the Republic.
From all we can judge, the rebel leaders mass
ed their armies in Eastern Virginia, deter
mined to force their way into Maryland and
take posseasion of Washington at all hazards.
We are disposed to believe that those ar:
mica were commanded, by the bravest and
most experienced generals of the South,
composed of the flower of their people, and
strengthened by alrthe resources that sympa
thizing allies in foreign countries could give
them. Dreading tbe renewed strength of the
North, as expressed by the President in his
recent call for troop's, IC was their policy to
burl the whole South like a thunderbolt upon
us, and paralyze our powersibefore we could
be enabled to gather' strength'srdtialent to ac
complish their downfall. Thinks to the brave
men who carried the Union banners, we have
been enabled to sustain the charge, and to hurl
back the exultant legions into the fastnesses
from which they came. -
We claim a great victoryaWe have sus- ,
tamed the united assault of the Southern
armies, and, having demoralized and pros
trated them, we are still fresh and eager to
limit on our column to Richmond. Every
city in the North is sending forth its thou
sands to swell' thin gallant and magnificent ar
ray. Every home in the North is sending
forth a brother or a son to take the place of
some dear one who has fallen in his country's
cause, and every lover of that cause is
making sacrifices to accomplish our triurayh,
giving his money and prepared to give his life.-
Such a spectacle as this is a fit companion
picture to the sublimely terrible exhibition
that wo are seeing •in Virginia. With the
valor of the North in the field, and the loyalty
of the North preparing to take the field—with.
a great cause to animate our souls, and a
righteous God to give victory where victory
belongs—the rapidly coming fatare is full of •
triumph and consolation.
To the • loyalty of the North we make the,
appeal which those stern events suggest. From
the bloody field of battle there comes the cry
-ef weunded men demanding instant and ten
der care. — lnu - tut - i.no-ro.rie_of_the North to
give another manifestation of sympathy i
sincerity by ministering to their relief. We:
want accomplished physicians and surgeon's,
kind-hearted men and , women, to nurse the
sick and wounded. We want every household
to give of its linen and its woollens to assist in
alleviating the sufferings - of our friends and
brothers. We want every man to give of his
substance, that the efforts of these Christian
men and women may bo for immediate and
substantial good. The battle is over, but let
us not forget its many victims. Let us not
forget that, while we are secure in our homes,
hundreds and thousands spend those hours in
pain and anguish. This is the immediate duty
that canes to all men, and we pause in the
midst of our exultation, to impress it upon
them as the highest and most sacred task that
can possibly be performed.
England and Oar Grain Crop
Very many sensible people believe that "the
recent change of England's attitude to this
country,' was due less to a declining sympathy
with the rebels than to a sudden consciousness
of her dependence upon the North for the
bread of life. Cotton was necessary to - her
capitalists and manufacturers; bat wheat was
irclispeneable to feed her clamorous millions,
who, when their stomachs are concerned, are
not apt to enter enthusiastically into unde
veloped Cabinet schemes of the diplomat, nor
applaud for any length of time the blatant
speeches of the (‘ honorable member from Ver:
bosity." The masses of Great Britain may ba
misled for a time by their - presses, and by the
misrepresentations of such Southern emissa
ries as YANCEY, SLIDBIZ, and SANDBBS but
although an obstinate, they are not a wholly
unreasonable people, and their common sense
teaches them that their interests lie in the
continuance of friendly relations with our
Government.
What their common sense. teaches them we
can reduce to an arithmetical certainty by
the production of the figures. In the nine
months, commencing on the first' of last
September, England imported 4,919,344 quar
ters of wheat and 4,236,456 cwt. of flour ;
thirty-five per cent. of the wheat and seventy
four per cent. of the flour were obtained from
the United States, thus creating an indebted
ness of' $40,000,000. In addition to this,
England was compelled to purchase of us,
within the same period, fifteen millions' worth
of Indian corn. We derive these figures from
the official tables of the British Government,
so that their correctness may be relied upon.
Of course, to cancel this debt, the profits from
manufactures required to be largely appropri
ated. The interruption of the American cotton
trade has, undoubtedly, led to the financial
ruin' of many hundreds of English manufectu
rent, and the starvation of numbers of opera
tives. - But the energies of the people are di
recting themselves into new channels; the
cotton fields of the East are being explored
and operated with success ; and -Europe is re
• covering from the shock of our civil war, and
fromethe miseries it at first entailed,with some
. thing of American elasticity.
To all practical purposes we are as inti
mately connected with Great Britain to-day,
as at the time when the ocean cable linked
the two shores together; or, as at the earlier
time when the colonies were wont to siiittk
of a "mother country." We hare boon
treated, at odd times, in a rather step-motherly
way, to be sure, but we hero never been vin
dictive towards a relenting- antagonist. 7il7,ei,
gave the:Prince -of Wales almost a colonial•
welcome, and if he should pity us a second Tilsit
to-morrow, he would be treated with respect,
as the royal representative of a great people,
akin to us in descent, in language, in habit,
customs, laws, and institutions. In the
world's great competition, jealousies have
spiting up between no,- and heart-burnings,
.but never any vital aritiPathles. -We are
brethren in the family of nations—both spoiled
sombwhat by our prosperity—and, like all
spoiled children, must have our. (‘ spats" oc
casionally, to be followed by a hearty
cg making-up."
But we bare not yet done with our grain
trade statistics. What some very learned
'writers mean, when they speak of the entente
cordiale, is simply—wheat: Wheat is king;
wheat holds the balance of power among
earth's monarchs. His sceptre is a sheaf, his
suljects every generation, his realm the. great
round world. So much for his highness, in a
general way'; we are not writing a biographi
cal aketeh of him at present, but simply ad
ducing a few facts that explain his wonderful
prestige. The New York Central Railroad, it
is stated, will receive this year for tolls on the
grain crop of the West, nine millions of dol
lars"; the Erie Railroad will receive seven
millions; while the Erie canal will receive for
tolls, five millions, five hundred thousand del
la* and for freights, twelve millions, five hun
dred thousand dollars. Up to the first of Au
gust last, thirty million bushels of grain and
flour bad passed through Buffalo. Of the
amonnktransported‘to "the East by the Penn
ilylvinia Railroad, within the ,same period,
we have' seen' no statement. From these
figures, howevii, it is plain that we can
feed the hungry millions of the Old World
through the next winter, with Out stinting
ourselves one dollar's worth, or having need
to reduce our grand armies to half ra
tions. No wonder Mr.. Tnomorn went to
Chicago, and wrote an enthusiastic chapter
in behalf of our cereals. Ile has described
in that chapter a more imposing sight than the
review of an entire army ; and he has given
to the .world ft _grander conception of oar
boundless resources, and Inherent wealth,
then gigantic International Exhibitions could
convey. We "Will show mankind, in the end,
that..:cotton is . ,not a. match for wheat; for
wheititi our earls di visite, and inspiree the
whole world with roped for the great ori
ginal.
'There is a rebellion, in a domestic way
in New York. The Tax Bill hiving put a
small lax upon gas, the Manhattan Gas Com
pany has ci improved the occasion," by putting
on an additional charge of 15 per cent. per
thousand feet upon every thousand cubic feet
supplied - after September 1. The New . York
ers justly and indignantly consider that this is
a shabby, selfiah, and unpatriotic way . of shift
ing the tax from the company to the mud:
mere—of evading the common contribution to
the . revenue of the country. Some wards
have announced indignation meetings, and the
feeling is very strong. Considering that every
where on this American Continent where gas.
Is usfid, the profits to the proprietors are enor
mous, (to say nothing of overcharges,) It is
not too ranch to expect that they will pay the

Getting News Under DiffieuttiEs
It will liardly be necessary for me to mention the fact
that it was not until late yesterday afternoon that the
War Department determined to relieve the newspaper.
correspondents from tho restraint recently placed upon
them In order to prevent them froM furnishing any news
direct frtm the army of lirbglnia. When it was an
nounced that the . 1 embargo" bad been taken oft, the news
spread like lightning, and every one's Countenance wore an
expresaion of hope that some reliable Inforinatien con
cerning the details of the recent great battler south of us
would be speedily forthcoming in bulletins, extras, and,
at the lateetOn'the Sunday papers, The physiognomies
of familiar friends of mine—the. Itgentlemon of * the
prase," the elongation and melancholic oast of which
it was thought, by citizens, had become hopelessly per
manerit—a sort of chronic affectionsuddenly rounded
up, and, illuminated with exultant smile*, these gentle
men had kind R ords and abundance of jokes for every
one. Soon &twos hurry and bustle on the streets, and
it was evident that some movement of importance was
being executed within our city limits.
Government Impresses Vehicles.
'e correspondents ran hurriedly around from one
livery stable to another, offering fabulous prices almost
for saddle horses, horses in carriages, wagons, buggies,
or anything in which a mans body might be stowed
away. But, alas! none were to be had for love or
money—none except for the Government service. Caval
rymen were galloping up and down every street, and
avenue, and alley, and taking possession of every hack,
carriage, and light vehicle of whatever description, for
the purpose of despatching them to the fields of the late
conflicts, there to be used in removing our brave,
woonded. , soldier ; from the cold, damp ground to com
fortable beds in our hospital". Accordingly, daring the
whole of yesterday afternoon, last night, and this morn
ing, a motley proceesion of vehicles 'was rattling over
the Aqueduct Bridge, in the direction of Centreville, some
of the drivers cursing and swearing at • the prospect of
being suddenly improvised nurses and undertakers,
and in contemplation of the lona of innumerable 44 nice
Jobe." What a spectacle was that which met the eye of
the habilta of the national capital upon the arrival of
the Holiday morning train from the North ! Not a haik
was to be had; it was raining hard .and very unplea
sant; and, as everybody had left their umbrellas at
home, the tempers of twenty car-loads -of well
dreseed gentlemen and ladies were sorely tested as they
turned themselves into .the depot from the cars for tem
porary shelter, the former already crowded -with sol
diers and other persons, anxlona to get out of the damp,
only to find very dim means of conveyance to - the hotels.
Over the River.
But " the embargo is off,", end jealous Of each other
se well as of the public interests, °Tor they went, upon
the sacred soil of the "Old Dominion," in search of
an thing that sounded like news or the name of a
wounded man. Some wont to Alozandria, and there
took passage upon baggage cars for the seat of war;
otbers were to be seen mounted upon;niules, andosith
note-book and pencil in - bands, were• stopping each
_sutler, surgeon, or straggler they met, to obtain "just a
note or two, you know, from your division "
Sad Reports in the City.
• During the aftirnoon a placard was potted all over the
city by thelVar Department, to the effect that any one
who wished to visit the battle- field to aid the sargcons
in the care of our wounded, could do no without ‘ 4 let or
hindrance." They were requested to furnish their own
conveyances where that wee practicable, and when it
wee not, transportation would be fnmished by the De
partment. The only equipinents necessary were stated
to be a tin cop, a bucket, and a bottle of good brandy.
I em happy to nay that the good people of this city who
levee= country and her brave sone turned oat in
greet ttrenctb, and furnished themselves liberally with
man . ) , good things in the way of refreshments, &c., and
departed for the battle- field.
Arrival of Surgeons.
In addition to the thousands of surgeons, nurses, dtc.,
which have loft this city within the last twenty-four
hotus a large number of medical gentlemen arrived here
this morning from Philadelphia, and were immediately
lent forward to the recent deubly 7 bOught battle ground
to relieve those who ha ,e given up from exhaustion.
The _Rebel Designs
I find that tile accoutte published In T4e - Prase, for
some dal a past, of the evident deeigns of 'Stonewall
JAOASO2I and Lan, are quite correct. It is now certain
that it was pita of the plan of the rebel leaden' to reach
Manassas Junction ahead of us, or drive" us out cf it and
then Make it a base of future operation and supply for
their armies, as tLoy advanced into Maryland. To this
End, Lea ordered LONOSTRBET and ANDillt9ol( to move
as one column, due north, upon the Junction, uniting
his [forces there with those of JAMISON, advancing
from the, west. It has been ascertained from rebel
prieoners of war that there are no corps d'aretie in
the fkonth, but that the divisions are composed of
several subdiTisione, and are thus very heavy, num
bering at least twenty thousand n.en, and oftener thirty
thousand. So it would seem that the rein' army with
Which we have bad to contend in the recent battles, in—
cluding the grand , divisions of JACKSON, LOtiOSTREZT,
ANDERSON, and HUGER'S old command, could not have
been less than eighty thousand men.
Recent Moventents.
By some strategy, not yet manifest, the rebels suc
ceeded, about tan days since, in - turning our right flank
it Warrenton, and marched upon Illanassu almost un
perceived. As soon as Gen. POPE became assured of this,
he ordered Tioorrea's division to march upon Manassas
Junction rapidly from Alexandria, with five dare' cooked
rations, in light marching order, but with a good suppli
of ammunition.. HOOKER sprang forward with his gal
lant fighting division, and, meeting the rebels Mader
Iwum.,. at Kettle Bun, several miles southeast of Ma
nama, gave Lim a sound thrashing, and drove him from
Bristow Station and the railroad, over which our large
army, near Warrenton, was being supplied with stores;
and although the rebels bad made a raid upon
Ca tiett'e Station, and destroyed a small por
tion of the bridge and track at Cedar creek,
this movement of HOWLER prevented LONOSTRBET from
getting in our rear .with a large army, and entire'?
severing Pore's communication with Washington: Thus
the army of Virginia was saved from annihilation or
ignominious surrender, which must have' followed a
want of supplies, as there is no forage In that country.
It will biplainly seen from this that LONOSTAHRT warn
at least to hold in check what he supposed to be our en.
tire aimy at Warrenton, while ,Isoksox moved thrtingh
Centreville on to Leesburg, via the turnpike road over
Goose creek, over the Potomac and into Maryland.
LONGSTREPIT apparently fell back when HEINTRELAN
came up with the balance of his corps to reinforce HooK•
BR, atd upon his arrival at Gainesville opened coalman(-
' cation with Lsoksos, who leirraid to have been moving
towards Gum Spring, twelve miles northwest of Centre
villa, at the time, and informed Stonewall of the condi.
tion of affairs, which, being fully appreciated by the lat
ter, he at onto turned about and struck for the Warren
ton tnntpike,intending to join LON cant sax at Gainesville.
In the meantime, Gen. Pope moved his army up from
Warrenton as:rapidly as possible; MoDowELL, with his
*wit and flionVe corps, and RBNO'S ditrielort, moving to
the left, through Greenwich, towarde Gainesville, which
movement, Gen. Pore Nam caused the rebels to retreat
through Thoroughfare Gati, to return reinforod,
The Battle of Fiiday.
On Friday, after a tedious night advance, McDowell.,
therm, and Banta:came upon Jet:mean, six miles west of
Oeutrevillr, as he was retreating to Gainesville, and a
severe pitched battle took place,.which lasted all day,
. and the field was stoutly contested. "This war a drawn
battle, but Jacxson'S lose was very heavy, and observ
ing the trap that had been sot for him, he endeavored
to retreat across Dull Bun on Friday night,
but from some cause he did not get his army'entire:
ly over. Our forces
. rnoved after his that night,
and by daybreak yestexday morning had driven
tho enemy over Catharpin Creek. Up to the date
• of General Porlii'S despatch, headed " GrOveton, near
Gainesville," we had captured all of Jeassos's baggage
wagons, and camp equipage, and a large number of
prisoner.: The fields were said to have been fell of
rebel' overcome with exhalation, hunger,and • thirat,
who' readily gave themselves up. Some of thew, men
elite that. they , etarted,.,out from Thoroughfare Gap
in! light marching order, with ten days' rations of very
pooiquality, and that this had been all consumed. It
his be true future v ictorles over him will be easy.

At any rate, I learn that during yesterday the battle
continued all day without any decisive rosette, the fighting
being desultory, and both armies being almost utterly
exhausted.

The Cannonade Heard' in :Wishington.
During 7 eatelday from early dawn until seven o'clock
in the evening, the steady roar of artillery, much more
concentrated and heavier them that which was noted at
the first battle of Dull Bun, startledicur citizens. People
proceeded to Georgetown Heights and . other elevated
points, and some wont so far a. to state that they could
distinctly count the number of discharges!.• Our citizens
generally took the matter very complacently. They
seemed to have perfect confidence that Corir'irmy would
be found equal to the emergency ; and while mime found
fault with -General Pore on various pretexts, it Was
universally conceded that he" was a man of great dash,
and frcin his recent good'management, in operating
against JeossOit, in the vicinity:of-Bull Ban, it was ad
mitted that he was the right man in the right place."-
I may say that the people wore not the toast surprised this
