mainder of the brigade formed, as stated, on the right, with the addition ol the 3d Wisconsin, and an effort was made to drive the enemy from their cover in the wood. During all this time the firing on both sides wa l terrific, and the men were falling by the score. The line advanoed steadily with the exception of the 3d Wisconsin, under a still galling fire, and drove the rebels back. The Wisconsin regiment fled at the first fire, and it was with great dif ficulty and at great personal risk that the general succeeded in getting them into line again. They had hardiy returned to their position, however, before they broke and ran again—in fact, proved worse than use less. The remain der of the infantry charged upon the enemy's batteries, sever al ot which could not be seen until they entered the wood, where they camesuddenly upon a large infantry force that had lain concealed from the commencement of the fight. This force opened lire upon our men with frightful eftect. A lie slaughter at this point was very great. More than one half the men of the 2Sth New York were killed and wounded. C'ol. Donnelly, commanding, was mortally wounded; the lieutenant colonel, Brown, and the major are both wounded, and there is not a cap- Cain of company left to the regiment. The 10th Maine lost about one hundred and fifty in killed and wounded j the sth Con necticut suffered similarly, besides losing Col. Chapman, who was taken prisoner.— The 46th Pennsylvania has hardly enough men left to form a full company. Col. Knipe was wounded in the head and in the arm, but not fatally; Lieut. Col. Seif ridge was slightly injured, and the major was shot through his arm. General Crawford and staff were near being taken prisoners twice during the ■ fight. On both occasions they were ex- , amining diifereut points, with a view to a \ change of position, when they came upon j the rebel pickets. Fortunately they all escaped unhurt. While lam writing the wounded are being carried to the rear, for although the firing on both sides stopped at 9 p. m., it is expected that thefight will j be renewed in the morning, with largely augmented forces on both sides. Ourcav- j airy force at Madison Court House, under Gen. Beaufort, has been driven out, and from every point we receive intimations that the rebels have determined to offer us an obstinate and bloody resistance. What the rebel loss has been, to day, we cannot ascertain. I will learn and send further accounts as soon as possible. Official Report From Gen. Pope. Headquarters Army of Virginia, CEDAR MOUNTAIN, Aug. 13, 18G2, 3 P. M. To Maj. Gen. Halleck, General in-Chief: On Thursday morning the enemy crossed the Rapidan, at Bamellsford, in heavy force, and advanced strongly on the road to Culpep er and Madison Court House. I had estab lished my whole force on the turnpike be tween Culpeper and Spcrryville, ready to con- { ceutrate at either place as soon as tho enemy's plans were developed. Early on Friday it became apparent that the move on Madison Court House was mere ly a feint to detain the army corps of General Sigel at Sperryville and that the main attack , of the enemy would be at Culpeper, to which ; place I had thrown forward part of Banks' and McDowell's corps. Brigadier General Bayard, with part of the rear of McDowell's corps, who was in advance near the Rapidan, fell 6lowly back, delaying and embarrassing the enemy's advance as far as possible, and capturing some of the men. The force of Banks ami Sigle, and one of the divisions of McDowell's corps, were rapi dly concentrated at Culpeper during Friday and Friday night, Banks' corps being pushed forward five miles south of Culpeper, with Rickett's division of McDowell's corps three miles in his rear. The corps of Sigel, which had marched all night, was halted in Culpeper tr rest for a few hours. On Saturday, the enemy advanced rapidly to Cedar Mountain, the sides of which they occupied in heavy force. Gen. Banks was instructed to take up his position on the ground occupied by G'rawfurds's brigade of [ his command, which had been thrown out the day previous to observe the enemy's move ments. He was directed not ts advance be yond that point, and if attacked by the ene my, to defend his position, and send back timely notice. It was my desire to have time to give the corps of Sigel all the rest possible after their forced march, and to bring forward all the forces at my disposal. The artillery of the enemy opened early in the afternoon, but he made no advance until nearly five o'clock, at which time a few skir mishers were thrown forward on each side, under cover of the heavy woods in which his 'orce was concealed. The enemy pushed forward a strong force in the rear of his skir mishers, and General Banks advanced to the attack. The engagement did not fairly open until six o'clock, but, for ono and a half hours, was furious and unceasing. Throughout the cannonading, which at iirst was desultory and directed mainly against the cavalry, I had co tinued to receive reports from General Banks that no attack was ap prehended, and that no considerable infantry torce of the onemy had c- me forward yet. Towards evening the increase in the artil lery firing had satisfied me that an engage ment might be at hand, though the lateness cf the hour rendered it unlikely. I ordered Gen. McDowell to advance Rickett's division to the support of Banks, and directed Gen. Sigel to bring his men upon the ground as soon as possible. I arrived personally on the field at 7 o'clock P. M.. and found the action raging furiously. The infantry fire was incessant and severe. I found Banks holding the position he took up early in the morning. Ilis losses were heavy. Rickett's division was immediately pushed forward and occupied the right of Banks, the brigades of Crawford and Gordon being di rected to change their position from the right and mass themselves in the centre. Before this change could be made it was quite dark, though the artillery fire continued at short range without intermission. The artillery fire at night by the 2d and sth Maine batteries in Rickett's division, McDowell's corps, was mo6t destructive, as was readily observed the next morning in the dead men, horses, and broken guncarriagea of the enemy's batteries, which had been advanced against it. Our troops rested on their arms during the n'.ght, in line of battlo, the heavy shelling bemg kept up on both sides until midnight. At day-light the next morning the enemy fell hack two milea from our front, and still high- er up the mountain. Onr pickets at once ad vanced and occupied theground. The fatigue of the troops from long marches and excessive heat made it impossible for either ssde to re- Bume the action on Sunday. The men were allowed to rest and recruit the whole day, our only active operations being of the caval ry on the enemy's flank and rear. _ Monday was spent in burying the dead, and in getting off the wounded. The slaughter was severe on both sides, most of the fighting being hand to hand. The dead bodies of both armies were found mingled together in masses over the whole ground of the conflict. The bury ing cf the dead was not completed until dark on" Monday, the heat being so terrible that severe work was not possible. On Monday night the enemy fled from the field, leaving many of his dead unburiedand his wounded on the ground and along the road to Orange Court House, as will be seen from General Buford's despatch. A cavalry and artillery force, under General Buford, was immediately thrown forward in pursuit, and followed the enemy to the Rapidan, oyer which he passed with his rear guard hy ten o'clock in the morning. Parts of our infan try followed ; the remainder were sent lorward in the morning. The behavior of Banks' corps during the action was very fine. No greater gallantry and daring could be ex hibited by any troops. I cannot speak too highly of the intrepidity of General Banks himself during the whole of the engagement. He was in the front, and exposed as much as any man in his command. His example was of the greatest benefit to his troops, and he merits and should receive the commendation of his Government. Generals Williams, Augur, Gordon, Craw ford, Prince, Green, and Geary, behaved with conspicuous gallanty. Augur and Geary were severely wounded, and Prince, by losing his way in the dark, while passing from one flank to the other, fell into the enemy's hands. I desire publicly to express my appreciation of the prompt and skilful manner in which Generals McDowell and Sigel brought forward their respective commands and established them on the field, and of their cheerful and hearty co-operation with me from beginniug to end. Brigadier Gen. Roberts, chief of cavalry of this army, was with the advance of our force on Friday and Saturday, and was con spicuousfor his gallantry and for the valuable aid he rendered to Generals Banks and Craw ford. Our loss in killed, wounded, and mis sing was about 1,500, of whom 220 were taken prisoners. As might be expected from the character of the engagement, a very large proportion of those were killed. The ene my's loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners, we are now satisfied, is much in excess of our own. A full list of the casualties will be transmitted as soon as possible, together with a detailed report, in which I shall endeavor to do justice to all. JOHN POPE, Maj. Gen. Commanding. The Truth from Cumberland Gap. LOUISVILLE, August 16. —Captain J. A. Terry, division quartermaster, just arrived from Cumberland Gap, which he left on the 12th, at noon, reports that DeCours'y's bri gade was attacked by Stevenson's rebel di vision on the 9th, at Tazßwell,Tennessee. and that Colonel Cochran, of the 14th Kentucky Regiment, whipped four rebel regiments.— Cochran held his fire until the enemy wore within one hundred and fifty yards, and checked their advance. The Federal loss was eight killed aud fif teen wounded, and fifty-seven of the 16th taken prisoners. We took a rebel lieutenant colonel prisoner, whom we exchanged for the fifty-seven prisoners. The rebel officers admitted a loss of 250 killed and wounded. We took 213 wagon loads of forage and TO horses. Wo lost the knapsacks of two regiments. There has been no fight at Big Creek Gap as reported, nor any other engagement in the vicinity of the Gap or Tazewell than the fore going. All the reports of the cutting to pieces of Gen. Carter's and Col. Byrd's forces by the rebels are utterly false. Gen. Morgan has thanked DeCoursey and Cochran for their gallantry. The Knoxville papers give a list of 109 rebels killed at Tazewell. Arrival of Colonel Corcoran. Colonels Corcoran and Wilcok, Lieutenat Colonel Bowman, and Major Vogdes, arrived at Washington on Sunday morning, in the steamer Henry Burden, accompanied by Ad jutant General Thomas; in the afternoon, while Colonel Corcoran and his friends were at dinner, a regiment marched to, and halted at, his quarters. The band having played .an air of welcome cheers were given, anJ Jso calls for his ap pearance, both by the military and the large crowd of civilians. Col. Corcoran, in res ponse, expressed an ardent with that the wicked rebellion should speedily be crushed. New York and Pennsylvania, and, in fact, all the States, must vie with each other to put down the traitors. As for himself, he was ready to seize in his hand either the sword or the musket, and prepared at once to take any position to serve his country. He would not indulge in lengthy remarks at this time. lie simply appeared to bow his acknowledgments, but he would soon take an opportunity to say a few words to his fellow citizens. Ho thanked the officers and men before him for this kindly greeting.— Nothing had done his heart so much good as to hear these cheers, excepting the cheers which he heard when a prisoner, at the Union celebration in the ancient town of Salisbury, North Carolina, on the 4th of July last. The Colonel of the regiment briefly and appropriately responded, when the military resumed their march, and Col. Corcoran ro tired amid enthusiastic cheers. A magnificent reception is to be given to the officers first named. Capture of the British Steamer Colum bia. Navy Department has received some par ticulars of the capture of the Bteamer Colum bia by the gunboat Santiago de Cuba. She was taken about seventy-five miles from Abaco, after a chase of six hours. She had leu Nassau the day previous, ostensibly bound to St. John. She was under British colors, but had no register whatever. She is loaded with munitions of war, cannon, rifles, powder, shell, cartridges, army blankets, and iron plates. She is a new and fast propeller, of iron, is provided with ports, and was prob ably intended for a rebel gunboat. This is her first attempt at running the blockade, and she had on board Charleston, Savannah and Bahama pilots. Arrest of the Traitor Olds. Information has been received that Edson B. Olds, of Ohio, has been arrested for dis couraging enlistments, and other treasonable practices. Ho is confined in Fort Lafayette. [Olds is the politician who made a speech re cently in Ohio, advising the Democrats to stay at home in order to control the elections, and who saw, in a vision, blood at the ballotibox at the fall elections.] General McCall on the War. General McL'ali returns from Richmond with different ideas of the war. lie says that our motto should be "'instant submission on the part of the rebels, or their extermination." Despatches from Washington furnish some i important correspondence. The Rebel Gen eral Lee informs General McClellan that the oath of allegiance taken by " citizens of his Government," and paroles given by them not to bear arms against the United States will l not be regarded as obligatory, and that per ; sons who take them will be " required to ren ! der raillitary service," and that should our Government treat this military service as a breach of parole the Rebel Government will resort to retaliatory measures. Gen. McClel lan having transmitted the letter to Wash ington, Gen. Ilalleck states in reply that our Government has never authorized the extor tion of any oaths of allegiance or military paroles, but, on the contrary, has refused the application of several thousand prisoners to bo permitted to take the oath and return to their homes in the Rebel States. At the same time the Government claims, and will exercise the right to arrest, imprison or send beyond its military lines, any persons suspec ted of treason or affording aid to the enemy; and if such persons voluntarily take the oath and afterwards violate it they will be punish ed according to military usages. General Lee is also assured that" no unseemly threats of retaliation" will deter the Government from " exercising its lawful " rights over per sons and property of whatever character.— In a second letter addressed directly to Gen. Lee in answerto oneinrelationtotheexecution of Mumford at New Orleans, General Ilalleck states that measures will be taken to ascer tain the facts in relation thereto, and gives the assurance that the United States authori ties will conduct the contest in strict accor dance with the laws and usages of modern warfare, and that all excesses will be duly punished. In regard to parties who, in dis guise as peaceful citizens, penetrate our lines to burn bridges, &c., General Ilalleck adheres to the rules laid down in January last, direc ting their execution as spies. Then follows another letter from General Lee repeating in quiries as to the hanging of Mumford, instan* cing what he calls atrocities and again threat eniug retaliation. Under date of August lid, General Lee addresses Goneral Ilalleck transmitting .Jeff. Davis'instructions, already published, as to retaliation upon the offcers of General Pope's Army in consequence of his orders. To this latter letter General Ilalleck replies that as the papers enclosed are "couched in language exceedingly insul " ting to the Government of the United States. " I must respectfully decline to receive them. " They are herewith returned." Gen. 3lcCleilan's army has left Harri son's Landing. The rebels under Breckinridge met with a repulse at Baton liouge, Louisiana, in which Gen. Williams, commander of our forces, was killed. Married.
