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."
