The Draft Postponed.
A recent older from the 'War Department an
wwpee thatthe time for drafting has been post
pMl until the 15th of September. We noticed
•aeae tirae sinee that the Governors of Pennsyl
■vruila, New Yoik and New Jersey hud petitioned
the Secretary of war for an extension of time, be
lieving that they could thereby fill np their quo
tas gitfaoat rerert to a draft. We think it will
that they were correct in their belief, and we
before, also, that the extension of time granted
will prove of advantage to die Government. The
order extending the time states that none but
three year 1 men will be received after the first of
September, consequently all who volunteer between
tbe let and 15 th are so many three year men
gained. If the government had drafted for the
same number of men it could only have secured
them for nipe months, and if, at the end of nine
months, the services of the isame number still be
needed, there would be the expense of organizing
and equipping a new levy, jand after that they
*<"dd not 1 be of equal service witii those who
had been drilled for nine months.
Again, the Marshals have, by this time, com
pleted their enrollments, and each district and
county knows exactly how ifiany men, if any, are
wanted to fill up its qnola, and the necessaty ef
forts to secure the filling up of the deficiency can
at once be made. If meetings are to be held and
: bounties made up, there is time enough to do it.
Hereafter, those who offer bounties will likely be
, careful to know that those to whom it is paid be
longs to the district or county paying it. There
has been to much looseness in this matter hereto
fore, andthfwe who have been most liberal now find
thcnaelvea In a petition which requires a doubling
of thrir subscriptions if they wish to avoid the
draft. ■
As we have said before, we do not think that
there is anything dishonorable in a draft, yet we
confess to' a desire to see Pennsylvania’s quota
made up' without-a resort to it. Gov. Curtin
thinks it can be done, and the Government seems
inclined to give him evety opportunity to gratify
his ambition and have the people of the Keystone
from the accusation that, they were compelled to
do their duly. If there he any reality in the an--
nounoement that there were companies formed
with the intention of entering the service, but
were too late to get in under previous orders, they
have now plenty oftime to complete all their ar
rangements and take their places in the field.
JW We sincerely hope that the day for issuing
proclamations by’our generals has passed, and that
hereafter the rebels are to receive bullets instead
of doenments. There has been more speech mak-
ing and address writing than was required either
for the encouragement -of the army or the infor
mation pf the people. Too often the promises
made in these speeches and addresses have not
been fulfilled, and too often the rebels have'ob
tained a cine to the next movement to be made
throqgh the medidm of these published documents.
As an honorable enemy we have heretofore con
daesd the war in'an open, honest manner, not
shunning the light, hot time and repeated rever
ses have shown that: we have an unscrupulous foe
to deal with, and that hereafter, if we would tri
nmph, we must deal with him in his own way.
■We are contented to do without addresses and
proclamations, and : the* details of movements, if
out generals will hot proceed quietly, cautiously
and thereby successfully. We will wait until
they have gamed a victory before we receive the
details, of it, rather than take their promise of it
beforehand and then be disappointed.

THE LATEST WAE NEWS.
|A Washington correspondent, writing on Sun
day, says The following is a resume of the
movements ;of the rebel and loyal troops in the vi
cinity of Manassas dining the present week as de
rived rum scouts, prisoners and wounded sol
diers in Alexandirin—the best sources of informa
tion ojien ; ,iacksou left the rebel army, or that
I portion of it under Longstreet. which had liecn
| massed at Salem, west of the ridge of Bull Hun
Mountains, on Monday morning, before day, and
proceeded boldly through Thoroughfare Gap with
about 40,000 men, in the direction of Manassas.
He scattered the. 13th Pennsylvania Cavalry in his
way, and arrival at Mananas. Junction at eight
o'clock on Tuesday, having marched sixty-two.
miles in something less than two days. ! Prom
Manassas ho occupied, as has been published, suc
cessively, Union Mills, Fairfax Station, Berks'. .
Fairfax Court House; and, with cavalry, Centre
ville, Vienna, and even Falls .Church, almost
within cannon, shot of our Capitol— meantime liv
ing on an abumlance of captured provisions, and
destroying what he could not use.
On Wednesday rooming, being informed of the
dating feat, Pope broke camp at Warrenton and
his columns eastward, throwing Gens. Ni
ger and McDowell, with their commands, toward
Tlforonghfarfi Gap, to intercept retreat, and mov
ing toward Manassas Junction with Porter's and
Hooker’s men. The enemy were driven from
Kettle Run Station, west of’Manassas, on Wed
nesday evening, by Gen. Hooker, with considera
ble Joss on both sides. On Thursday morning
Geti. Pope moved on to the Junction, found it
evacuated, and pressed on to overtake the enemy.
McDowell's column struck the retreating rebel
line near Haymarket on Thursday morning, gave
immediate battle, and after a prolonged fight,
drove the entire force of Jackson back southeast
wardly, where they rested for the night—of course
entirely without food except such as had been ta-
Lken at Union camps.
On yesterday, Friday, the battle raged terribly
and incessantly—the rebels being everywhere re
pulsed, though fighting doggedly, as if they had
staked their lives upon the die. The artillery
firing was almost incessant from morning until
darkness proclaimed a truce. Hooker's, King's
and Kearney’s men are said to have been most in- '
Innately engaged yesterday, and to h\ve suffered
severely. Xo details of the fight can bo obtained.
ACCOUNT OF SATURDAY’S BATTLE.
The following account of Saturday’s battle we
copy from tbe Washington Star, of Monday even
ing ;
The battle was an ajtillery battle down to 4
o’clock in the afternoon, each party Ixnng engaged
in "* feeling ’ the other, Gen. Porter commanded
our left wing, Sigel and Heintzebnan oiu - centre
and left. McDowell’s force was in the rear, hav
ing been much exhausted in the battle of Fridav.
At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the enemy/hav
ing massed his infantry, made a furious and suc
cessful attack Kipon Gen. Porter. Our informant,
■who witnessed the fight in front of Richmond,savs
tlmt none of the musketry firing there was heavier
than this of the rebels at Bull Run. It will turn
out, probably, that their rank and file were stimu
lated ’ by whisky, as they were at Malvern Hills.
When he perceived that his left wing was to he
attacked, Gen. Pope ordered up McDowell's force
to support Gen. Porter, but it did not arrive in
.time to save Glpn. Porter from defeat, but oh the
contraiy became 'itself involved ih the retreat
which followed.'
In short, the divisions of both Gen, Porter and
McDowell were routed and fell back in disorder
across Bull Run stream to Centrevllle. OuT right
wing and centre remained firm and unbroken,
covering the retreat of the left wing, and preser
ving the army from any serious catastrophe. ■
Our informant docs not think our loss on Sat
urday, in killed and wounded, to have been great
er than on Friday, say four thousand, bur the' loss
in prisoners was much more.
THE VEKY LATEST.
Washington, Sept. 2.—“ Recent advices received
from the vicinity of the late sanguinaty' conflict
of our armies in Virginia, with the enemy, report
affairs in that locality ns comparatively quiet.
The news from that quarter to-day, has been,' con
sidering the intense excitement and bustle’pre
valent, decidedly meager.
Rumors and stories of the most extravagant
nature hive been circulated throughout the city
a great majority of which have been found on in
quin- to be ertHtely unreliable.
. Parties who loft. Centerville late yesterday after
noon, report that the command of Gen. Banks
which had been rumored cutup, commenced ar
riving at that point about five o’clock i>.
There can belittle doubt of the correctness of tliis
report, as our informant states that he Witnessed
the arrival of this command. It js further stated 1
that a march of twenty-five miles was accomplished
by them on that day in orderto reach that position.
How He Operated.—lt appears by Morgan's
account of his raid, that he was greatly aided in
hw purpose by taking with him an instrument !©
‘ e legrap*ic despatches, and at evert- sta
tion he got to he sent oft' messages of his own
movements to mystify the Union Generals, and ™
tereept theirs, so that he knew all the movements
intended to operate against him, and frequently
stopped them entirely by dispatches whicli eauscd

I Hanks, writes an nrniv correspondent, had a very
narrow eseajie from death during the engagement
ol lii~ troo|» on Saturday moniing, on the extreme
riglit ot onr line. Ho was leaning against a tree,
watching the progress of the tight, when a ritled
shot from a rebel battery struck the tree aUnit
eighteen inches tihove his head, cutting it clean
in two. With his usual good fortune he escaped
injury, even from splinters. I found the General
on I'riday afternoon, lying in the shade of a tree,
wait his staff about him, and the horses picketed
close by. He is looking thin and a little jiale, and
his leg is still stiff from the effects of his recent
injury. I mil Friday,.he had ridden in an am
bulance trom place, to place, bat he mounted his
horse unit directed the movements of his corps in
person. Front him I got the ti ne version of the
accident which ltap|cned in the hard battle at
Mangliter Mountain. It seems that he and jus staff,
were lying on the ground, as I found them on
I iiua\. when a sudden dash was made in theirdi
rection bv some rebel cavalry. The tumult
mghtend the staff horses, andalarge, powerful ani
mal ot the General’s becoming seriously scared at
the discharge of pistols, gave a sadden plunge for

great lone, threw hliu down and hmised him
