THE WAR
le the midst of the consideration of important
news, we turn to weep with the gallant `soldiers of
the army of the United States—with the Affierioan
people—nay, with the civilized world—the loss of ,
a great leader ; cne of 4:airfield maraluds of the
line. Pnitsi KBAR111141" IS DEAD ! The hero of
so many -battles-the one-armed devil" of our
army is no snore i From early youth.he exhibited
a fondness for the study of the art of war; he
Wanted to be a great military leader in order to
apply certain ideas of his own, and prove the
published experience of others. He mot his
death in carrying out .one of the rules
of Napoleon—Vat where 'it is practicable,
and an iiniortant reconnoissance is to be
made, no one can better parform the service
than the general himself." Keerney knew the
terrible desperation of the enemy, and, was well
aware of his cunning; he would trust no one but
himself to go to the front and reconnoitre, on Mon
day night, in view of the hazsrdotts situation of
our army, After visiting his piekets and outpost
,
guards, sainting each with an admonition to be
cautious, courageous, and vigilant, he proceeded
forward to reconnoitre 111,1 enemy's position..
Moving stealthily about, he suddenly canes upon
the -pietist guard of the enemy, when the ad
vanced, sentinel shot him, and New Jersey's
greatest, bravest, noblest son fell mortally
wounded. What man of his gallant New
Jersey Brigade—of his division—of the army
—would not have freely laid down his life to
'have prolonged the •existence of such a man even
for a day ? Kearney was a thorough soldier and
general. The camp, the outpost, the garrison, and
the battle-field, were his abidieg-plaoes. He knew
ro heme—no place of rest, content, or ease; he
was wrapt in the study of his profession: As an
American officer he fought in the only war of , his
life-time that was waged by the United Skase--
that in Mexico, and, as is well known, distinguished
himself upon many (=salons, losing his left arm
While charging with his regiment, the ist U. S.
Regular Dragoons, at San Antonio gate. When the
war, was over he resigned his oommission—there
was no war, and be Gould not play at arms. When
the Crimean war commenced Kearney prooeeded to
Europe as a student of the movements of great
generals and , grand armies. It is enough to say
here that Major General Philip Kearney died in
the performance of his duty, and the Government
and the people will do his memory justice.
But we are sorry to say we oaanot cease to mourn
when the last tribute of respect is paid to Kearney.
'We must mourn the less of- another great leader—
Major General Isaac I. Steiens—who was killed
on Monday, on the bloody battle-field of Chan
filly, near Centreville, while leading his division
into action. General Stevens was about forty
five years of , age at the time of his death. He ins
born in Andover, Massaohneetts, his father, a plain
fernier, being of the true Puritan stook. Re
ceiving his early education at one of the best aca
demies in New England, his precocious ability led.
I. his appointment, while a mere boy, to a cadet
ship at West Point, He . graduated at that inetitu
lion as th e . first scholar of his class, standing" so
high above all others that it is said- there Were
Afteet degrees between himself - and the
cadet next in rank. His high rank was at
tained without rimarkable labor, for he learned
almost by intuition—a single reading of the most
tannin proposition in mathematics being sufficient
to enable him to master it. Upon leaving West
Poirtt, young Stevens was appointed to the
neer Corpa, and was for several years employedin
anperintending the construction of sea -coast fortifi
cations, one of which was the imnattant_feet
aneeeepertians etta - gaiiii%cot river.
*it= the breaking out of the war with Mexico
Lieutenant Stevens served on the personal staff -of
General Scott, and was in all the battles oil, the
plains of Mexico. His bold reconaoissanees, per
sonal gallantry, and profound knowledge of the
principles of war, attracted the attention of. his
general, who spoke of him as " the most-promi s i ng
officer of his age." Be was twice breveted for gal-
Jantry in action, and in one Of the last battles' re
ceived a severe gunshot wound in the foob, from
vrhich he suffered at the time of his death.
Upon his return to the Dnited States "Major°
Stevens was selected by the distinguished Professor
Bache to perform the duties as chief of the Coast
survey office at Washington, and while occupying
that position performed a Taluable public service
by suncessfolly combatting the prejudicee which
prevailed in Congress against that most important
work. During this period Major Stevens also pub
lished a history, or rather criticism, of the Mexico,
war. This work, eminently philosophical, and
displaying a profound con:prehension of strategio
principles, having been published in pamphlet form,
is unfortunately out of print.
General Stovers was afterwards Gevern t e r r of
Washington Territory, and became gnown as an
able executive officer.
A Territorial delegate, being unable to take part
in general debate, has but little opportunity to dis
tinguish himself. But Governor Stevens displayed
his practical efficiency by unremitting 'devotion to
the interests of his Territory, and by mitring,
against the most violent opposition, the assumption
by Congress of the war debt of Washington and
Oregon. It is a most creditable fact that he would
not - allow one dollar to be paid for lobbying this
bill by those interested in the payment of the debt.
Although selected as Chairman of the Brooklyn
ridge Executive Committee in the Pres - iden ial
campaign of 1860, and thus intimately associated
with, the southern leaders, he was never taken into
their treasonable councils, and at the firat declara
tion of Secessionism, he openly denounced them.
His intimacy and influence with -President Ra
cie= now enabled him quietly to perform what
was, perhaps, the most important service of his life.
He
,urged upon the President the proinpt dis
-missal of Floyd and Thompson from the Cabi
tiet; and pressed him to trust to the counsels of Gen.
Scott. Ile'was, during the winter, in daily con-
Oultation with the officers of the army in relation
to the defences of Washington, and exercised a
controlling influence over them. For these acts he
deserved the gratitude of the country, no less than
those other noble Democrats, Holt and Stanton. lie
was, fortunately, stimulated in his loyalty by his
admisable wife and her sister, daugh'ers of one of
the_most eminent lawyers of Rhode Island.
At the doss of the SeESIO 7 of Congress Governor
Stevens proceeded to Washington Territory, and
while in the remotest part.of that Territory heard
of the attack en Sumpter. He instantly offered
his services to the Government, and , left for the
city, of -Washington, determined to fight for the
'Union, even is the, ranks Although a mere colonel
ey was offered him, his brilliant reconnoissance
at Lewinsville, and the safe retiring of his command
from a superior force, and the • engineering works
he has erected near the Chain Bridge, show that
his field of labor was not limited by his rank.
Last winter, General S mvens was made a brigs.
dier, and commanded a brigade in the Port Royal
expedition. After having serve& for months in
South Carolina, he was recalled to the North, made
a major general, and plaeed in command of a
division of the Army of the Potomac.

The Prospect Before Us
The crisis of the great rebellion lB' upon us. -
Armies have been raised, equipped, and placed
in the afield, where, upon several occasions,
they have met the enemy, with varied success,
in bitter, bloody conflict:' But who can point
to a single dedsiire . battle, or one which,
placed upon a sure basis, promises future
triumph and insures an honorable peace to
the policy of either the false or the,true Go
vernment ? We have succeeded, certainly, in
weakening a rebellions, treasonable, bellige
rent power, whose resources were sadly under.;
estimated, but in doing so how have we weak
ened ourselves I Not in our real ability to
crash the rebellion, but in the means ernployed
and deemed suificiemt to reduce the Southern
Confederacy. The question of our ultimate
success has never been seriously considered a
problem of intricacy, for in the Northern States
wo have nineteen millions of inhabitants, and
in the South we know, there are but eight
millions, and, in addition to this the ljnited
States LiVO a great preponderance of menu
for carrying on a war of considerable magni
tude for years. The secret of our ill-success
has been a want of harmony and force in our
grand plan of operations, a lack of celerity in
execution, a want of military foresight in fail
ing to follow up advantages gained,,-and an
exhibition of a magnanimous leniency towards
the rebels, which the history of the extinguish
ment of other unlawful uprisings of refractoTy
portions of a people had proved fallacious.
This was deemed necessary and earnestly ad
iocatedtoy our ablest statesmen as conduclee
of a return of fraternal affection among those
in rebellion, and tending to harmonize parties
in the North, among whom more or less
sympathy for the South was evident, either
ram personal and business interests or from a
ormcr colinnitment to certain political prinei
,
plea.
Turning to the South, who can deny that we
do not behold an amazing spdctacie of treason,
human desperation in wickedness Productive
.of a self-sacrifice on'the part of the rebels un
precedented in the history of the world, inso
much that the Southern people are destroying
their staples, cotton and tobacco, rather than
allow it to fall into the hands of our Govern
merit. In s addition to this, we see what was
once a portion of a free democratic people
submitting to a conscription far more rigorous
than that of France, when France
- was fighting
the combined yowers of Europe. All bust
taw -
,
s has been suspended, and there is but one
question with the soldiers, and that is te Shall
we succeed" in establishing this government
and, confederacy upon treason,; larceny, and
hypocrisy, or shall we be forever the butt for
the jibes and jeers of the vrorld Bat noir'
every rebel is in the field, every dollar has been
assessed and possessed by the pseudo-Con
federate Government, and the question given
above is to be decided in a very short time
and if our generals acknowledge and adopt
the - challenge of Gen. LEE and Mr. Davis, its
decision may bang upon the groat battle now
Impending in Virginia. it makes but little
difference whether this Armageddon be on the
Rappahannoek or in front of Richmond. Culpe
per Court House is of as. much importance to
the rebels as their present capital. They are
fighting for an actual national existence and
for recognition by, foreign Powers. When
this latter end is attained, the rebel capital
will be of as much importance to the South as
Washington is to the United States. in view
-e.e.s.trlvv-own.-u-vuts-rvuors - irtsTo
any promise in the future? Every thinking
man in the country will give a negative
answer, in . view of the determination of the
Government to throw its best and most
powerful energies into the future prosecution
of the war. All leniency is to be laid aside,
and we are to have -no more cr playing at
arms." Depend upon it, traitors will be
roughly handled in the future.
The people of the United Slates have an
excellent, cheering, hopeful prospect before
them. The present, we know, is one of the
darkest hours of our country's bistory—it is
the critical hour of the rebellion, which, like
a garter snake, having been trifled with and
only tickled gently with the Union bayonet,
has stealthily partly coiled itself around the
throat of the Government at Washington,
which is just awaking from . the slumbers of
Conciliation and false conservatism, and is at
last alive to a sense Of its danger, hithyto as
suredly unappreciated. • The Union Electric
Battery is emitting a powerful current of the
patriotism of the people upon the -reptile,
which isalreaiy having a salutary effect, ibr
the serpent is losing his hold. The head and
tail are relaxing and receding—a powerful
blow at the heart is wanted to render this
enemy of humanity harmless for all time.
And then, when the rebellion is crushed, we
will decide at the ballot-box in a legitimate,
constitutional manner, whether we shall have
a new Union and Constitution or not—whether
we shall abolish slavery, and emancipate the
colored race from our midst—whether it is
practicable to colonize them in South America
or in Africa—whether we shall have the
greatest navy, and the most powerful army in
the world or not—whether we shall admit
Canada and Mexico in the Union or not, and
many other grave and important questions,
but all subservient, as the. President has de
clared, to the salvation .of our. great
,ttnd glo
rious Union now. The slave-power in this
country is dead; slavery must be a nominal
institution at the dose of the war, and it is
believed that the'great doctrine of the Deela.
ration of Independence, c; that all men are
born free and equal," will be practically under
stood and adopted in this country, then at
leas'. The question of, the stability of 'popular
governmeit;:of the existence of true democracy
and republicanism; of the wisdom ef our
statesmen ; of the extension„ of liberty over
the entire world, will be settled forever beyond
dispute. LL
Let us look further into the future, and
behold the noble Mississippi a milky way of
steam and flatboats, and • its valleys studded
with commercial and manufacturing Cities,
with railroads where post-roads are now, a
public school in every county, a newspaper in
every town, and happiness, content, Christiani
ty, and civilization everywhere manifest. May
OUT children live to speak of Virginia as rage
aerated and tilled with thrifty farmers, and as
noble a State as Pennsylvania; and of Tennes
see as the Ohio of the South. Let us beseech
the Almighty to hasten this day of peace and
prosperity, when slates-rights and Politiaal
partisanships may be buried in oblivion's
deepest, darkest abyss; when it may be a
proud boast, in all the world, that the citizen
of the United: States is an Ariaerican freeman,
to be respected and honored by , the liberal and
the civilized, and feared by every tyrant.
The Beginning of the End.
Csmly reviewing the grand events of the
pipit week in Virginia, in the light of such in
telligence as comes to us well authenticated,
we have cause to be truly grateful that a great
danger has been safely passed ; that a rebel
army twice the size of our own has been
baffled, and that no resource is now left to it
but retreat or annihilation. We speak hope
fully, for we can see the ,situation clearly
now. We • have gained invaluable know
ledge from this second battle of Bull Run,
as we did from the first. We have
gained positive information as to the ut
most strength and desperate condition of the
enemy ; we have gained time to hasten for
ward our overwhelming levies to assist Gen.
Pork; we hive gained eonfidence in the 'con
summate skill of our generals, and the_heroic,
daring and sublime endurance of our troops.,`
We have gained everything that any loyal peo
ple ever gained in battle, save the empty
honor of having occupied the field. We have
not lest an inch of ground by' ail engagemine ,
and henceforth we take not one atop back
ward- We may be delayed for days, or even
weeks, to consolidate our forces, recruit our
energies, and give our wearied troops a
breathing spell; but no delay of ours can
benefit an enemy whose whole available
strength is now:massed before ns, impotent to
rerevr the cotfliet. The battle of Saturday
bee imam d the safety of cur capital, crippled
the rebels hopelessly—for, unlike ourselves,
they have no powerful reserve, and no sources
of recuperation—and given: us a citeeri4pre
monition that the downfall of the Bentham
ccinspiraters is speedily Approaching: ,
It does seem as though the" hand of God
were shaping the destinies 'of" our, once-im
peri led nation,- and storing up the - Divine
retribution against a day - or wrath," to
hurl his thunderbolts upon the heads of the
traitor-conspirators, who blindly seek the de
struction of the Union. And if 'we be with
the right, and the right with God, why should
not God be with us ? Why should our patriot
ism falter, when his blessing will crown our
efforts with success, and utterly discomfit the,
enemy? It was to merely human inspiration
that tbrilled
,the North s at the echo of Fort
Sumpter's guns, and nerved a hundred thou
sand arms to grasp the grand emergency iiii
.shrinkingly. There was something providen
tial, something beyond the ken of transatlantic
despotisms, in the great uprisings of the
North, ,that illuminate the pages of our his
tory, and give us confidence to persevere
unto the goal. Our confidence is in our una
nimity. We have responded to the Prost- ,
dent's call, and with such a noble alacrity as
will insure the immediate reinforcement of
the army in
_Virginia. We are concentrating
our most effective troops, that the advantages
we hold may be promptly followed up, in ac
cordance with the - favorite policy of General
Ilannnor. But let us not be unmindful that
the war has still its duties for us all—civilians
no less than soldiers. :We must have - col:LH
donee, we must' be united, we, must frown
down all dissensions. Then,- let us furnish
the. Administration with the means, and the
end will soon be accomplished.
TEUI ?IM MO INTERthr iS SO concentrated on
the thrilling events of the war that the move
ments of parties are temporarily lost sight of.
We have not, therefore, deemed it expedient
to discuss, at. any length, the merits of the
rival candidates for the suffrages of the
people in the coming erection. That is
a work that may well be left over for a few
days, or until we know enough of the issue of
the great struggle for the life of the Republic
to' render political homilies acceptable to our
readers. It is right to say, however, that the
several tickets presented to the loyal voters
of Philadelphia are worthy of conftdence and
support.
LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL"
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2,1862
The situation of the country at the present
time is commanding the earnest attention of
every patriot. Now, when all, immediate
danger has passed away from Washington,
and the rebels have fallen back demoralized
from their assaulting position, people are
calmly considering the present condition of
affairs, and what 'it may bring, forth. The
noise of the cannon, has hardly died away' on
the Potomac before we have an alarni from
Cincinnati. The rebels, are not only ernbar
rassing us here in the eastern part of Virginia,
but in the other departments of the country.
Burnside has left North Carolina with nothing
but a comparatively . small garrison. In But
ler'i department we see, the Union forces fall
ing back from Baton Rouge—aed private let
ters anticipate an assault upon the city of New
Orleans, which nothing but Commodore Far
. •
ragut's fleet can repel. In. Tennessee, Gover
nor Johnson is entrenching himself at Nash
ville—Clarksville has been surrendered—Fort
Donelson is menaced, and Kirby Smith is
marching through Kentucky a with an army too
large to be successfully' relsietetief , lrigton.
has been evacnated-L-Louisville is threatened,
and. Cincinnati is under Martial law t in whit ap
pears to be an unnecessary and alarming procla
mation from Gen. Lew Wallace. The Queen
City of the West is now the goal of Smith's fa
mishing and desperate legions, and it it should
fall into the hands of rebels it willbe equivalent to
feriiishing them with supplies enough for a new
campaign. In the East, we learn of the eradua
tion of Norfolk and Fredericksburg, ,
and the vir
tual abandonment of the Penineula, except as a
perhaps
Yorktown and Gloucester Point. Our .
gun
boats are moving up the Poyomac to
_prevent
the rebels from crossing into lower lkiarylaid;
and all the positions on the upper Potomac, in
the neighborhood'of Harper's Ftirly, Point of
Rocks, and Poolesville are strongly held.
Washington swarms with troops, and along
therailroad they'are encamping by thousands.
All , of our forces are being concentrated around
Washington, and I hearit said that there are
more soldiers in the vicinity of our national
capital now, than; have been knoWn at any time
before. This, of courae, embraces at the new
levies of the North, and they yill be, strength
ened by the hourly arriyal of the new regi
ments:, ' '
So far as the movements in thia part of
Virginia are concerned, I am Inclined to re
gard them as the , development of a new policy
on the part of the - Government—the polzsg of
concentration and power. It seems to me that
we have made mistakes in our campaigns, by
extending - our military lines`over an immense,
extent'of country, and endeavoring to conquer
the South in.detail, by going from town to
town, as though we were on a military journey.
The natural effect of such a policy has been
to place garrisons here and there, in towns,
forts, and at -railway stations, at isolated and
dangerous points, where it was impossible' for
our soldiers to maintain communications with
their friends or protect themselves. We had
guerilla raids, sudden assaults upon small
garrisons, the burning of bridges, the destruc
tion of telegraph lines, and the capture of
cattle and commissary stores. Stuart's fa-
Mons ride around McClellan's army, and
Morgan's trip into Kentucky, were the natural
results, of the policy which scattered our vast
army around regions as large as the dontinent
of gurope. There was also - a mistaken leni
ency in dealing with, the inhabitants of the re
occupied territory. We protected them in every
thing, until at last our protection became the
cover of their evil deeds and an impulse to new
crime. They were Union men' in day time
and guerillas at night. We gave them gold
for their cotton, and their gold became a part
of the strengtli l of the Confederacy. We placed
sentinels around their farms, and their corn
- and wheat became the sustenance of rebel
armies. We kept the negroes in slavery,
when we might ... have known that so long as
they were bondsmen and compelled to toil,
their masters might' fight in the armies of
Beettregaid or Lee. We even hesitated to
rebuke treason in orir midst—pardoning in
those around us, as a mere matter of opinion,
what we were slaying men for in Virginia as
a crime. In a military point of view, we
presented to the Confederacy a long and neces
sarily a weak line of defence. The rebels
trumped their forces into a solid body and
'hurled it upon whatever point 'appeared to be
the weakest. In addition to this, we had-all
the disadvantage of being in a strange country .
and fighting the enemy a self-aeleited
As I have
,said, bur policy hereafter must
be a policy of concentration and power. It is
not's° much that we occupy towns and strong--
holds—we miitl atmliallate the'rebel army, and
utterly destroy every source of its strength, or.
perpetuity. Richmond Is nothing to us irc.
comparison.: Norfolk and Nashville are mere
collections of houses, which have no advan
tage beyond a collection of houses in 'Massa
chusetts or Missouri. In taking Richmond we
must utterly - destroy the rebel force--"-and then
Richmond is taken. Let us adopt the Roman
sentiment—" where there is solitude there is
peace"--let us make our war a war of de
struction and exterthination. Placing the.
Republic above all other earthly considera
tions, let all earthly things psrish that it may
be preserved. Let there be Elaine and blood
shed, and barren lands,' villagesdesolated, and
every evidence of prosperitydestroyed ; let
every negro he emancipated ;let the whole .
South be , a desert, but. let the Republic be
preserved. These new disasters only „in
tensify this fearful prayer in the heart of
every loyal man. Let to confess that this
war is nothing less than a war for empire. This
race Must control * the continent of Ainerlos:
There can =bs .no . rivahiesi in the authority.,
We'may separate to.day,.but . bur'children will
curse us for it hereafter. Far better to pass
through the ordeal now,` and come forth
chastened and triumphant, than, by mistaken
policy and false ideas ef military or political
belief, to leave behind us a country equalled
WO by Mexico in its weakness, and Turkey in
its degradation. OCCANON4L;

Wahine/army, September 2.—Becent advicee received
from the vicinity of the late sanguinary conflict of our
*nuke in Virginia with the enemy, report affairs in that
locality as comparatively quiet. The news from that
quarter to-day has been, considering the intense e - xelte.;
went: and buitle previlent, decidedly meagre. Bamors
and etoriee of the moat extravagant nature have been cir
culated' thronghout the city, a great majority of which
have been found upon higniry to be entirely unreliable.
Partite who left Centreville late yesterday afternoon
report that the command of General Banks, which had
been rumored cut off, commenced arriving at that point
abouf6 . o'cleck P. M. There can be very little doubt of
the correctness of this report, as our informant etates
that he witnessed the arrival of this command. It is
further eteted that a march of twenty-five miles was so
complished by theme on that day, in order to reach that
wellies'. -
The greatest attention is being given to the condition
of; the wounded, who are conveyed with all namable
promptitude to the various departments being prepared
for their reception. An over abundance of nurses and
physicians hare tendered .their services, and it is moat
assuredly true that the b;ave men, who have fallen in de
fence of the national honor; will not want for sympathy
and kind attention in their sufferings. The different re
lief isectiatiOns, both male and female, which have been
organired---many of them lately—are assiduous in their
eiadeajrore to alleviate the euffeHog condition of our
wounded.

It a a a that during the forenoon a report had reached

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
[From the Washington Ster of last evening.]
we have reliable InforMation from the front op to 0
. A. M. to-day. The engagement of last evening, men
tioned elsewhere in to -day's Star, was heaviest opposite
the position occupied by the division of the gallant Gen;
Nano, (about two mile. north of Fairfax (curt House)
who repulsed the enemy handsomely, sad with fevers

We, boweeer, regret
.to add that, in the course;of the
light there, Brigadier General Stevetis was killed. As
yet, no particulars of his death have reached Waehing-
After their repulse by Iten'o, the enemy declined re
newing the . engagement .for the day, and bad made no"
attempt to do so up to nine o'olock tile forenoon.

which we anticipated on_acconnt of the dank movement
of the rebels, alert* portion of our army has beano:tinged.
in end around Fairfax Oourt House. Our right was ale&
in the vicinity of Flint AM, the Oourt House being the
centre. •
The impreesion last night arid this morning at the
front was, that foils d by Bono in his demenstrations upon
the Little Itiver turnpike, the enemy had moved further
around towards Vienna.
Oar army, we may add, Is in excellent order to-day.
P. S.—We hear that since 2 P. M. rattier heavy can
nonading in the front—in the direction of Fairfax Court
House—has been heard here.
Mr. James K. Bomors, of the 'lndian Bnroan, who,
with others belonging to the Departmente, went up to the
senistance of the wounded, returned to this city this morn
ing. Be accompanied the flag of truce sent out from our
lines yesterday morning with'an ambulance train to the
battle. Add, and from him we gather some interesting
particulars.
A Confederate officer was found In charge of a gang,
who were esgaged in burying the dee& The modas
operandi was to run the noose ef
.a repo over the hoeis of
the deed man, when two or three seizing the rope, drag
ged the body to a trench anddumptd it in. Perhaps one
hundred or one hundred and fifty bodies were interred in
each trench.
The rebels had been at their usual work of stripping
the :bodies of our dead, and numbers were to be seen
lug stark naked. Tho enemy had, however, treated
our wounded with some humanity, in many instances
supplying food and water to the afferent. The line of
battle malt have extended some five miles, NI the dead
and ;wounded were found covering the ground:to that
distance.
• !be Confederate officer superintending the burial of
the dead! estimated oar loss in killed on Saturday, at not
more than 500, and oar wounded at about 6,000. Re ad
mitted a lota of Confederate killed of only SOO, but said
their number of wounded was *very laige. According to
all reports, the ; , number of wounded in the battle of
Saturday was disproportionately large to the number
killed. The Oonfederateespeak of the battle of Saturday
afternoon as one of the severest of the war.
While on the battle ground our informant heard some

field have been captured.
From Centreville—The Battle of Saturday
Cumnavitts, September L—The battle of Saturday
ternmenced on almost the same ground occupied by
both parties the day before. General Duryea's brigade
was first engaged, they having been rent to the right to
skirmish sad feel the position of the enemy.
Before advancing far they were fired on - by a large
force concealed in the woods, and skirmishing was con
tinued for some, hOurs. G,neral -Duryea was wounded
slightly in the hand and side, but kept tbo field till
ordered to withdraw. Tower's Brigade of Rlokett's
Division, was ordered to the left to meet a farce of the
enemy coming in that direction.
They filed out in front of a piece of woods, and before
getting hid/ into line were opened on by infantry from
the woods in front, and from behind a knoll on the left
flank, as well as from a battery, placed on an elevation
commanding the entire field. This fire was very destruc
tive, and. made great havoc among our troops. The
batteries, which was to support this force, did not get to
work, and by hastily falling back, paesedthrough the
line of the 26th New York, causing much confusion.
The line reformed and opened lire, although geeing no
enemy, and kept
,their .ground for thirty minutes, when
the rebels Wl:eating by thousands, they were compelled
to retire, leaying moet of their dead and wounded on the
lit ld. •
Herteuff's brigade, commanded by Col. Stiles, also
suffered severely. Gen. Towers was wounded in the leg,
while gallantly urging his men into the fight. He has
gone . to Washington. After the left wing was driven
back the centre was also premed, and our men seemed
to haie come to the conclnaion that they must retire,
and a general retreat ensued. Fitz John Porter's corps
arrived at an opportune moment, whon a stand was
made at Gentrevllle, and we are now in position, with
everything seeming quiet.
FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
(Spooial Gorrespondonoo of The Prem.]
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 1862.
Fighting took place yesterday, by the division of
Gen. Couoh, notwithstanding the heavy rain, about
two Miles west of Fairfax Cpurt' House, which
oontinued during the night, both by cannonading
and musketry; but it is i only known thus far, to
day, that oar troops maintained their. ground. A
decisive success is uncertain.
Gen. McClellan arrived yesterday, to commit
with Gen. Halleok, and still remains in town. Ho
galloped along Pennsylvania avenue, today, with
his staff..
It is thought that the rebels may be making a
demonstration upon Leesburg, and were covering
their design when the . attack upni Couoh took
place yesterday. They will find a heavy force in
that part of our lines.
Generals Stevens and Kearney are reported al
having been killed yesterday.
Capt. it i sh, aid-de-oamp of Gen. Jackson, waa
brought here yesterday, with a small party of pri
soners. lie is very reticent upon the aubjeat of his

downwards, were ohm taken to the Capitol this
morning.
The wounded continue to pour into this city by
cars and ambulances, and are speedily received :
into the various hospitals, where they are Washed
and comfortably cared for. Two-thirds, unfortu-.
rately, of their number were left on Saturday on
the field, in the hands of the enemy. A few of
these latter escaped, but while prisoners received
nothing to eat. The rebels told them that they had
nothing to give, but that they would soon be in
