the War.
From General Mc'.'ltlan'a arooy (be advioes,
though in tbeu selves p«oiflo, seem to foreshadow
;aoiive movements at nn early day. There is that
'Continued mtUfßmss in camp which somehow or
•other makes plain to even the most- ordinary minds
> that wo are on the eve if events more important,
-probably, than even the recent change of- his
bats hy McClellan. The following extract from
a recent letter trom the. army embodies the im
:protsiota of almost every correspondent: " We
are .hourly anticipating exciting news from the
"Valley, for our movements possibly depend in
great degree on those of Pope; but many be
lieve, more oertainly on those of Burnside. Evi
- dcntly thero is now a perfect nodorscanditig among
all the generals operating in Virginia. Among
' those directly under Mo Italian there is much oon
fidenoo, and it is this confidenoe of their loaders
which inspires the men, and leads them to hope
for early victory.” A correspondent of the
■New. York Express plainly intimates that
‘•a movement is now on foot, whioh the unicitiatod
cannot comprehend, but which, from particular
oiroumstai o s. isucemed extremely important, and
adds that ih.ro is much excitement in conse
quence. General McClellan has strengthened his
position on tho south side of James river. An
ofiioir of the army, who called upon U 3 yester
day, stated that Harrison’s Landing is for the pre
sent entirely hidden in a forsßt of m-ts's. Gunboats,
transports, steamers of every size and description,
environ the wbarvis, and bewilder the spectator,
who imagines himsiD' for tho time gazing on Clew
York harbor. The soldiers are in the best of spirits.
.The orders of General Pope to subsist upon tho
enemy are regarded with universal approbation,
and the wish is freely expressed that General 110-
Clolien would issue similar orders Oar informant
states that Colonel Bush’s L-inuers hare tho oioau
cst onmp of nny regiment in tho army, and in eon
-8 quenoo enjoy much better health. Baxter’s Fire
Zouaves arc as astivu as Pniladelpbia firemen
might be oxptetod to bo, and are to be mot in every
quarter. In common with the army and the entire
countiy, they await the order to advance with
restless anxiety.
Major General Pope seems to bo brilliantly ful
filling his promises What more oan be said? No
commander, when taking a new and untried field,
has ever issued war bulletins so full of purposes to
be redeemed wholly by future nothin; so full of
tone that their plans, sketched with a free and
strong hand, but on a dim and distant ground,
seemed almost overweening in self-oonfidenoe. It
was a bold pisiiion to take. The attention of each
party was challenged by the inauguration of a new
order of things, und the coolest inspection of each
parly was insured by the indiscreet criticism thus
thrown upon fotiuer commands and commanders.
Yet General Pope must have weighed this matter
well before he dared to assume such a risk, and his
military dating of now is justifying his moral cou
rage of then. After winning, paitly through his
excellent officers, a despeia:e!>-foaght bat Ge. he i g
triumphantly pursuing bis foe beyond the Rapidao;
and all Jao! sm’s rapidity will hardly avail him to
escape—certainly, a 1 his suatiety will not b 3 able
to lead Tope into any trap.
What is the meat,in; of tho despatch from Al
bany? It is mysterious, unsatisfactory, and fool
ish, and would puzzle even a Philadelphia lawyer
to explain.
TIIE NEWS.
In onr local column will bo found the regulations
promulgated by the War Department for the draft.
They poetess a peculiar interest to every citizen in
the Union, and it is therefore uaneoessary to alludo
to thim at length. Toa method of drafting indi
cated is probably as fair and simple a one us could
be indicated, and presents very tiette opportunity
for fraud. However, every one has his peculiar
notions on this subject, which Ariatotto hiunetf
could nut reason away. “In Maine, during the
win-,’ whop there were drafted a oertain
number of men, tho following method was adopted :
All the ipen in a town liable to do military duty
were assembled, and a number of-pieces of paper
were prepared, on part of whioh wax'written the
word, ‘ Go,’ and every man was required to draw a
paper, ami if he drew a blank, of oourse ho was
clear, but if be drew a - Go,’ then he was required
t> be ready. Li a city, or where the pnpu ation is
very large, ibis method would be too tediuus, if not
entirely impract cable,” and the Government, wo
think, has dupo.-ed of the matter in the manner
•which will prove most satisfactory to the commu
nity »t large.
The French iron-oiad frigate La Normandie, on
hoard of which Admiral Jurien De La Graviere hits
hoisted Ms flag, now on her way to Mexico, is 251
feet in length. 55 feet in width, and draws from 21
to 25 feet wider. She is provided with a 900-horso
power engine, tokes 675 tons of coal, a sufficient
quantity to last her eight days, and carries thirty*
six 30 pounder guns, corresponding to the 100-
pounder Arms rung gun. To each of these guns is
a taohed a box containing 155 rounds oariridges,
The iron pia'cs with which the Normandie is en
tirely clad arc 4i inohi-B thick. On her deck there
is an iron fclock-bous, wi‘h port-holes forjmuskotry

The Cincinnati Commercial has a report from
the superintendent of he Kentucky Central Bail
road, that bo bus intelligence of the most positive
character leading him to believe that on«ther rebel
r. id into Kentucky is soon to be, if not already,
commrnotd. Morgan and A r aa Dorn are to be too
leaders in the enterprise, whioh they propose shall
entirely throw into the shade tho recent great raid.
These leaders have boon for some time making the
necessary preparations in Tennessee, and have a
force of ten or twelve thousand men.
A [FEW weeks since, Lazarus Silverman, E>q , a
-well-known banker doing business in Cnicago, toft
for Memphis with the avowed purpose of pur
chasing cotton Mr. Silverman carried with him
nerly $30,000 in gold. Result—- Mr. Silverman
betrayed to guerillas, robbed of his gold, and sent
to a Memphis jail.
The arrest of General Frank Patterson is tho
subject of ocnsiderublo talk in this city. The New
York Tribune gives tho following explanation of
it: “It is lutuored that Gen. Frank Patterson,of
Philadelphia, comm&ndingthoNew Jersey Brigade,
is the general referred to as baring so seriously in
terfered to prevent the consummation of Hooker's
plan of capturing a whole rebel division at Malvern
Hill. It is said that General Patterson at the time
was intoxicated, and so aoted as to give the rebels
timely notice of the approach of our army. He
is cow under arrest, and the whole matter will
come before a general court-martial.”
The foreign mail brings a report that George
Francis Train, of Boston, was imprisoned in Lon
don, on the Ist instant, to prevent his embarking
for Amerioa, where he intended to raise volunteers
to oariy on the war. This is a remarkable state
ment, and not likely to bo true.
We have refrained; from criticising, or
uyen commenting at length upon, the accounts
which have been received of tho battle of
Cedar Mountain. Experience has taught its
that tb&flrat accounts of every engagement
are more or less Exaggerated, and uoreliab'e.
If we'were bound to place implicit reliance
upon the personal battle-experience of every
special correspondent, every reverse would as
sume the serious chaiacter ot a Bull Run, and
every' victory would be a Firt Donelson.
Therefore, we deemed it advisable to wait
for later details, Ihe more especially as we w6re
unwilling to speak qualifledly, and in appre-
hension that subsequent events might have an
adverse beaming upon the justice of our. re
maiks. Now, however, the results of Satur
day's battle are manifest to the whole nation,
and a few words as to its origin, conduct, and
the advantages accruing from it, cannot be
consider ed out of place.
The rebels, led by two of their ablest gene-
rals, Jackson and Ewell, crossed the Rapi
'dan river about Friday morning last, in the
vicinity of the; Orange and Alexandria Rail
road. . Various estimates are given of their
.numbers, som; placing them at twenty thou
sand, and others as high as fifty thousand,
from which we can only learn that tbeir ac
tual strength was known but to them
selves, although tho first estimate is un :
..doubtcdJy nearest tho truth. Their plan,
which was Bkilfully conceived and attempted to
be carried into execution with unusual bold
ness, was to fall upon Gen. Bankb’ division
forming the advance corps of our army, and
(Utterly to crush it bef ore reinforcements could
be hurried forward to its assistance. Jackson
must Have had positive information that such
a coup might be made with a promise^of suc
cess. Accordingly, we find a repetition of the
Front Royal dash ; and that it wasnot attended
with the same is IeBS a discredit to
the rebels’ audacity than a glorious tribute to
the veteran-like valor of General Banks’
command. Outnumbered, two to one,
it slowly, fe'l back a half , mile or more,
disputing every inch of ground : with
desperation, and; consecrating it with ' the
best biood of the Union. The fortunes of the
'wavered; for what could tbe most de
temined valor do again-t such over vholraing
odds f Thus, at tr o very outset of affairs, de
feat appeared almost in- vit.bie, and it needs
no military education to perceive that a battle
thus commenced can only be retrieved by
supirhimian s Sort, or the arrival of prompt
and adi quate succor.
The nation may rt joice that tho fortunes of
C»dar Mountain were retrieved, a d by pre
cis-!y the e two agencies. Our resinous,
with but ene exception, endure 1 fir hours he
murderius fire of a concealed foe, including
bis sccns-tomed masked batteries, sustained by
tb»t indumi.atJe spirit of manly heroism,
whnh wives s the sober page of history with
interest akin to romance. And when their
fato seemed critical, Generals Pope and Mc-
Dowell came up with two fresh divisions, the
bst ground was reganed, and the day was
saved. Hero was a substantial victory, aid
as such wo regarded it as au auspicious open
ing to General PorE’s Virginia ctmptgn.
We did not speak of it as if brtUuut,” became
wo could not foresee the immediate remits
which have spruDg from it. It was bu-ely
possible that. Jackson might h ive fifty thou
sand men instead of twenty thousand ; it was
baiely possible for him to bo lirgely reinforced
in case he should inclino to be tenacious of
bis position.
It was not to be wondered at, under these
circumstances, that the querulous, the timid,
or the half-disloyal, sh .md express dis-atis
taction at tho indecisive character of the
combat, and blindly censure the generalship
which could provoke it. But above and over
all—more prominent'y appar-nt than even
the names of our killed and wounded braves—
wo saw the fact that all the prospective ad van
tages rested wi h our arms when the day was
over. We held the field of battle. R .inforce
ments by tens of thousands were pouring down
the Valiey. The euemy had lost his thou
sands killed, without having gained a gun, a
prisoner, or an inch of ground to show foj
them, and was forced to sue for the sad privi
lege of their interment. He was liable to be
U .nbed by Burnside's column, and could not
well be roinfor..ed from Richmond, without,
substantially improving General MoGlellan’s
prospects, and shortening .bis campaign. Did
we over-estimate the advantages of General
Ports from the battle of Cedar Mountain?
Did we too lightly place our confidence in his
skill, foresight, aiid resources ? Let the retreat
of Jackson beyond the Rapidan be the answer.
Gcuer.il Pope stands vindicated. The valor
of our arms has triumphed The earnpaigu
opens gloriously, and more than ever may we
hope that tho battle-cry of « On to Richmond”
is but prophetic of a glorious truth, to be un
folded from the summer’s history. ,
LETTER EKUM ** OCCASIONAL."
'Washincjton, August 12, 1802.
I had occasion to pass through the Capitol
grounds a few evenings ago. It was one of
the most beautiful days that summer had
givtnu o —and the sun bad taken bis torrid
rays to Borneo or Cathay, leaving his sweet
est smile to tinge tho eveniug clouds. The
Marine Band, in their gaudy apparel, were
going leisurely through an opera te much,
and a multitude of people wore sauntering
among the trees and around tho gardea-beds
of roses—men and women, with their little •
ones; ruddy damsels fair to look upon, a-.d
bright young men who so-med to live in their
fascination; the inevitable officer in gold and
blue, and palo soldiers who had strolled from
the hospital to hear tho sweet sounds and
t-ab-h. the evening air. I -passed up tho
bioad and gently-ascending path, and the
steps that ltd to the Congress Halls. The
-music ceased, and the strains of Meudelss ibn
died away among the leaves. While reg- etting
the silence, and listening to catch another echo
! of the strain, tho band commenced again to
',‘play. The air was national and patriotic—
I something that stiired the blood with rapture
as it told of our country’s glory and grandeur
—the triumph of our armies, and tho war’s
desolaiion. I stopped, and listened to ths
soul-inspiring melody. I was stauding at the
loot of tho Capitol, and it looked nmjost’c,
even with its uncouth dome and unfinished
marble work. A weather-beaten flig was idly
coiliDg around the flag-staff. Tho city, with
its occasional glimpses of magnificence, was
at my feet, a d beyond the intervening city
j were the hills of Virginia—Arlington, peeping
! from the trees; Fort Richardson, brown and
i lofty; Fort Coicoran, massive and irregilar;
l and other forts, indistinct and monotonous.
It was a' scene such'as I have seldom wit
nessed, and I dwell upon it now partly be
cause it recalls the p’easure which I felt at the
moment, and partly because it brought with it
many thoughts and suggestions that are
always familiar and always new.
I thought of tho other days when peace
reigned over tho land, and the bills over the
Potomac had no memory beyond a May-day
i pic-nic or an evening drive; of the other men
who had left Washington, never to returo,
after leading us into a war that they might
lule or ruin. How often their haughty me
naces had been heard in these very halls!
Here their treason came into being; it budded,
bloomed, and burst into fruit I The apathy of
northern men was construed into slavery;
their. silence became submission. Govern
ment, to these Northern mem, was the develop
ment, of the nation’s resources and the esta
blishment of the nation’s happiness. True to
the teachings of their fathers—to the inspira
tion of Plymouth Rock and the example of
William Penn—they labored for civil libjrty,
national peace, Christianity, commerce, and
i social comfort. They built railroads, .and
| canals, and breakwaters, and lino 3 of tele-
I graphic communication, and ocean steam--
j ships, and dry docks and suspension bridges,
j They made treaties of reciprocity, and protec
! tive tariffs, and advantageous boundary lines.
Harbors were widened, channels were deepen
ed—rivers were made easy of navigation—the
deserts of the West were cultivated, and the
j hunting-grounds of the Indians became the
| cornfields of the farmer. The mountains of
Pennsylvania were burned as coal—the moun
tains of Missouri were .hammered and rolled
into iron—the mountains of California wero
! molted and stamped into refined gold. The
Northern statesman labored for these ends,
and attained many of them. Tho Southern
statesman, was wrapped in a dream of personal
and selfish ambition, and lived to no purpose
beyond tho aggrandizement of a section, and
the triumph of a party. Industry -brought
power, and as the North became rich and
I powerful/ all hopes of Southern greatness
i passed away. The cotton mill'triumphed
over tho cotton gin ! Defeat produced des
pdration—desperation produced treason, and
treason ended in war.
I cannot but think ot the days that _came
Upon us after the war commenced. Th.j dark
days and the light days! Truly it has been a
storm. "Clouds and showers and clear skies
lightning, thunder, and ailver-lacipg sunshine.
The dread that came after Fort Sumpter; the
anxiety; the fear; the uprising of the North;
the rush of brave men to the succor of the capi
tal-i Pennsylvanians in the advance. The New
TorkSeventh! Its measured tread up tho Ave
nuewill never he forgotten. Tens of thousands
have trod the Avenue since that day; tons of
thousands have gone over into Virginia, never
to come back again, never to answer to their
names, until the angel of Eternity calls the
muster-roll of Time. "We saw the mighty
North in that serried array of brave men. It
was War. In‘the roll of the dram, the bear
ing of the soldiers, the look that came from
every eyo, tho fixed grasp of the musket,
and the fierce meaning it convoyed, we
saw war—War embodied, equipped, and drilled
into battalions—-War that carried with it pur
pose, determination, courage, and truth. With
that marching regiment, now men came upon
the stage, new ideas came into the minds of
men, a new courage came into their souls.’
JThe old was embattling the new; the false
had challenged,; the true—liberty agiinst li
cense, freedom against slavery, the spirit
of our race «hd our age against the spirit of
infamy and oppression. The baptism of blood
was. for us. Boldly we stepped into it, and
wo are coming forth cleansed.- It might have
been ! Peace might hive remained with ns,
but everything else would have- gone—man
hood, courage, pride, justice, .and nationality.-.
, God be praised that we had strength to drink’
the cup l its "bitterness will be sweet here
after, and our children will bless ns, when we
are gone,-for having given them liberty as we 1
as life.
From fancies like these I am called to the
bnsy|ahd all-engrossing present. I read the
news of the victory in Virginia- I hear the
mighty North once more rushing to arms.
The dizzy magnificence of the scene bewilders
even, those who bad been the most sanguine,
and enthusiastic. A million of men in arms,
a million of men leaving home and fireside,
the plough and the anv l, t’-e scholar’s desk,
the piol'essor’t* chair, the well-thumbed book,
the eau l and the pen, that th y miydie for
the Republic 1 Chis-t your b iok, historian j
the past has no more examples tor me. No
more of Roman comage, or Spartan forti
tude, or German bar Uhood, or English bold
ness, or French self-sacrifice, or Italian en
thusiasm. These are mere songs for a
summer ev< niog or rom wees - for a sum
mer afternoon. The history of to-day excels
them all. We have learned-the lessons.of the
olden time, but we are teaching new ones.
Something more of sacrifice, somethlug more
of devotion—-stern trials it may be; but, a,fu
ture more grand, because I can see in it what,
afttr all, is the meaning and the end of this
mighty drama—freedom'to all men and for
all time; freedom of thought, and speech, and
'creed, and act, and a flig Sorting over us
with-lit a slave under its folds to make tho
freedom it ombodies a delusion and a dream.
Occasional.
The Liverpool Daily Post, a pap?r which
has shown a more imparrial mind, in the dis
cussion of A tuerican aff irs, lbau any other
English provincial journal, express-s great and
worthy iudqna'ion at the miserable Stock-
Exchmge and Secession hoax, which, on the
strength of pretended news fr-m the United
States, brought over by the mail-steamer Glas
gow, circulated a telegram announcing the total
dcfiat'of tho Union armies, and the flight of
McCiellan and other Union generals. The
Liverpool edi'or guys, “Th s subject is still
actively canvassed, and questions very awk vard
to answer continue to be put.” No doubt, it
was a contrived trick, and it did great mischief
during >he short time the news was credit-d.
The Livorpool papcr says, “ The whole affair
was ‘ a sell,’ and it is to be hoped that those
who wore instrumental in the ma-ter will bo
cautious how they handle u'lautheutic inform
ation in future.” If the truth were known,
the RoTuscHiLßa may hive been at the bottom
of this base traria-ciinn.

I bavo just returned from the field of battle, and
am enabled to send yon some particulars of the
light in addition to what has boon furnished by
your other correspondents, and from other sources.
I.IST OF CASUALTIES,
Tho following is a partial list of the wounded in
the 109th Pennsylvania, (Col. Stainrook’s regi
ment). The men are so scattered that it is iinpossi.
ble to get a full and correct list of the killed,
wounded, and misting in ho different regiments,
but your correspondent fee's confident of being able
to lay btfure yonr readers, in a day or two, a fall
and correot list: -
Sergeant MoFadden, E, wounded in the side.
Sergeant Wm. Thomas. H, wounded in the hand.
Corporal Jacob Geiger, K, wounded in the hand
and leg.
Private Wm. Mathers, D, wounded in rightkneo
slightly.
Private Edward E Peak, A, right leg broke.
Private James Haggerty, H, wounded in the
head and tbigh.
KoTIey, Q-, wounded in the arm
Turner, I, wounded ia the aokle.
Pj ivate Marvin W. Lutze, K, wounded in arm
slightly.
Private John Morrison, P, wounded in shoulder
badly.
Private Wm. S. Emery, D, wounded in the thigh
badly.
Private James Johnßon, K, wounded in the right
leg badly.
Private Miohael McCullough, K, wounded in’ the
side slightly.
Private Charles Coffee, K, wounded in the head
slightly.
Private ffm. Sherman, F, wounded in left arm
slightly.
Private John MoGinley, K, right foot, slightly.
Private John Emersou, E, bead, slightly.
Private Lawrence W. Leafey, K, right arm,
slightly. -
Col. Stainrook gave me the following information
in Tegard to the casualties in the regiment:
Col. Stainrook, slightly wounded.
Major Gray, slightly wounded.
Adjutant MoAdnm, slightly wounded.
Lieut. Deotz, slightly wounded.
Lieut. Yeal, P, wounded and prisoner.
Lieut. Ralston, F, slightly wounded.
Lieut. Neven, It, wounded and missing,
34 are known to have been killed, 73 wounded,
and 40 missing. 300 men went into the field, and
only about 150 are at present aeoountod for.
Col. Stainrook was struck in the groin by a por
tion of a shell. It first hit his body-plate, and
this, no doubt, saved his life. The buglo on his hat
and one of bis shoulder-straps were shot away.
Col. S behaved with remarkable ooolnejs and
bravery.
Major Gray was also wounded in the side, sup
posed by a shell. When the oolor-sergoant fell, the
Mttjor nobly rushed iorward, seized the colors, and,
while cheering on the men, ho fell, wounded in the
bieast by aminie ball.
Lieutenant Diets: fell at the same time.as the
Colonel. It is supposed he waß struck by the same
shell. His wound is in the groin.
Lieutenant Ralston made a miraculous escape.
A minis ball struck his body-plate, tore a hole
completely through it, passed through the abdomen,
producing a troublesome but not serious wound.
Captain Switzer received a slight wonnd in th'iT
calf of the leg.
Lieutenant Yeale, although suffering with ty
phoid fever, having oome to the field in an amhu
lanoe, yot he insisted on joining his company, and
he fought most bravely. He has not beon heard
from since the battle. As be was seen to fall, it is
supposed that he was taken prisoner.
Lieutenant Nevin has also been missingßinoe the
fight. , '
Captain Young was suffering .from sun-stroke,
and he, too, insisted on going to his company. For
tunately, he esoaped unhurt.
There never was greater bravery displayed by
any troops. Officers and "men, all seemed deter
mined to do their duty. The 109thwasesmp.i
mented by Gen. Prince, during the battle, for doing
their duty so well. At one time the; took up their
position in front of a whole brigade’of the rebe's,
and their coolness kept that brigade in oheck, thug
preventing, so Gen. Geary says, the; enemy from
outflanking us on the right. Pennsylvania may
well be proud of her sons in this war.
Major Walker led the tilth Pennsylvania Regi
ment. None of the officers were wounded, and a
oorreot list of those killed, wounded, and missing,
cannot at present be obtained. The lllth also \won
unfading laurels,.although their loss was not as
'heavy ns that of the 109th,
the forty- sixth Pennsylvania regiment.
No regiment in the whole battle behaved with
more gallantry than the 46th Pennsylvania Regi
ment, Colonel Knipe. They were also in the battle
of Winchester, last May, but have not, before this
rime, been allowed the.privilege of avenging them
selves for their defeat on that occasion. They were
on the extreme right, in General Crawford’s. bri
gade, and at the commencement of the battle they
were placed in such a position as tosupport Captain
Best’s regular battery.
General Crawford’s biigade held their,position
for a long time, until they were ordered to charge
a battery of the rebels, which had obtained their;
range, and was pouring a destructive -fire into
them. The brigade was composed of tho 46th
Pennsylvania, sth Connecticut, 23th Now York,
and 10th Maine. The 3d Wisconsin wore in the
woods, bnt could sot support the other regiments.
The brigade charged in gallant style until; they
came within a stone’s throw of the rebel battery,
when two brigades of the enemy came oat of their
ambush, and joured suoha destructive fire into our
regiments that retreat could hot be helped. It was at
this juncture that .Colonel Knipe fell, wounded in
• the head.and also in the arm.- Major Mathews also
.fell wounded in the arm.’ The oommand then fell
upon; Lieut. Col. Boifridge, who gallantly .led the
; regiment 'untfi - they%ere 'forced to retreat".’ The,
'46th; at one, Ume- had their colors taken,- but they
gallantly rallied, and, after a hand-to hand light
, of several minutes, 'the colors were retaken, and ’
brought off the field completely riddled with bafls.
The 46ih went into the fight with over 500 men,-
and theyoan now only muster 148 m ; n able to
shoulder a musket.

THE FORCE OF THUS REBELS.
All the prisoners that were captured agree in
stating ibat the rebels wore over 40 000 strong,
and .were commanded by Gen Jackson, with Gen. -
Hill as second in command. Some of the prisoners
slate Ibat Ewell was also on the field, while others .;
say that be was left at Gordonsville. Gen Wiudof,
ho who treated our prisoners taken at Bull Run so
badly, was killed. Gen. Trimble is also reported
to have been killed. The loss of officers of the
rebels was vi-ry heavy. Gen. Stuart, the same
who worked his way and did so much mischief
in the rear of Mode,lan’s army, commands their
cavalry. .
The rebel troops were moßtly those who were en
gaged in tfie battles before Richmond, and there
fore, were seasoned troops.
A DESPERATE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN GEN. MILROY

Yesterday morning, Gen. Milroy, who holds the
extreme left of Gen. Sigel’s corps, stepped, ont of
his tint, and bad not proceeded ton paces before
he was brought face to face with five cavalrymen.
Ho immediately cried out, •* Who are you ?”' The '
answer was, soldiers;” but they no
sooner bad the words out of their mouth when
Gen. Miiroy drew his revolver and fired. The
fiist shot struck his.own horse's neok, but the next

The Baule near Culpeper, Va,—Further
Tartiduiars.
Aooounts from Culpeper, dated yesterday, spoak
irg of the fight on Saturday, say that so heavy was
the fire to which our .comparatively small number
of then was exposed, that the only wonder 1b that
the entire oommand was not completely aninhiiaced
at the end of half on hour, instead of bringing off
so large a proportion at the expiration of an hour
and a half.
The rebel prisoners taken report that their own
troops were mowed down by our fire like grass.
- Three times were they reinforced by fresh regi
ments and brigades, and. when our-troops retired,
they were too muoh orippled to pursue them in an
opcn’ground.
The prisoners also report that the h«avy-guns.
used by the enemy wore of recent English manu-’
factnre, with English fixed ammunition.
We lost one gun, which was left, after being
spilled, in a ditch. Several of the horsos having
been killed, it was deemed expedient to leave the
gun, and it was spiked under the fire of the enemy's
sharpshooters;
Col. Chapman, of the sth Massachusetts, was ahot
in the breast, and is probably dead.
Lieut. Col. SroDO fell, with many wounds.
Major Blako also fell, and, if alive, is aprisonor-
AHjutabt Smith is either wounded or dead.
Major Savage, of the 2d Massachusetts, is believed
to have been killed, as well as many of the captains
and lieutenants..
Dr. Leland was shot in the eye.
The other regiments have not betsn heard from
yet, definitely
Strßgglers from the_ battle-field to the town have
all been arrested, by order of Gen. Pope, and by

On Sunday night, about 11 o’olook, while Gene
rals Pope and Banks were in conference in the rear
of our advanced batteries, a body of the enemy’s
oavalry charged in tbo most daring manner through
tho waods on our fiont upon the group. The dis
charge of muskets and the whizzing of the balls
near them gave them timely notice of the rebels'
approach. Horses were speedily mounted, and a
regiment of infantry fired a volley, checking the
charge, and probably saving both our commanders,

The Plans' of the Rebel Leaders
Defeated.
GREAT POLITICAL EFFECT OF JACKSON'S RETREAT.
Control Over Central Virginia Lost by the
' Rebels.
Culpeper Court House, Va., Aug. 12 —7
o’clock P. M.—Tho battlo of Saturday,’ the ,9th
inst, was one of the most important of. the war—
not merely on acoount.of the desperate valor and
unfaltering discipline displayed by our troops, the
obstinacy of the contest, and the heavy losses on
both sides; hut because of its important effect on
the campaign of whioh it makes apart.
The design on the part of Jackson was an at
tempt to penetrate and reoover the valley of the
Shenandoah, whence the richest supplies of the
enemy are drawn, and the possession of which was
of a political importance, in the endeavor to hold
Virginia as a part of the attempted Confederacy,
not to be estimated.
The rebel leaders hoped by this movement to so
threaten Washington and Maryland, as to. oblige us
to leave Richmond, and withdraw onr Faroes to the
line of the Potomac. To secure such an object, and
knowing that the Government was - now relatively
weaker; and tbo rebellion stronger than could
again’ooool in the war’, the Riohmond-leaders sent
the flower :of the Southern infantry under their
most popular and enterprising General, Jackson, a :
large body of'cavalry under their most distinguish
ed cavalry officer, Major General Stuart, and an
abundance ofartillory.
When Jaokson bad arrived with his forces as far
as Louisa Court House’ and Gordons villej and found
that the disposition of Gon. Pope’s troops' was such
that not only his purpose to enter the valley was
foiled, but his own .direct communication with
Richmond was interrupted, he called for farther
reinforcements, and, with these, which were freely
provided, attempted to stop Pope’s further advance
upon the'railroad, the destination or even the per
manent threatening of which would, debar the
Riohmond conspirators of all hope of the material
or political oontrol of Central Virginia. ’/;■
Jackson’ attempted, jby. a feint upon Madison
C. H. and Bperryvillo, to detain our forces at the
latter point; while at the same time he thre w the
mass of his forces, numbering at least 35.000 men,
by the way of Orange us at Culpeper,
expeoting to find only'a, portion of our forces there,
whom he could overwhelm, and then march on
Sperry ville from Culpeper, and crush tie army
corps of Sigel. • : '
His plans were Completely foiled by .tbe rapid
concentration of out foroes at Culpeper, and their
advance to meet him at Codar Run, -
' The cool ‘ and 'determined temper of Banka ac
cepted proffered battle as soon aa offered, and the
battle of Saturday afternoon was fought between
the advance, nndor. Banka, and the advance of
Jackson, under himself and Ewell. '
: After endeavoripg to' rout' and- drive.-.Banks’
.’corps, .Jaokson found himself compelled fat night,
by the rapid movements; in front of him, to fail
baok;to a strong defensive poßition.in Cedar Moun
tain,: and finding' bis line of retreat-growing inse
cure,' on the snoebeding night he retreated al
together, retiring beyond Robertson’s river, and
again beyond the Rapidan.
JEThe resnlt ‘is that Jaokson is again foiled and
forced to abandon his operations, with his prestige
seriously impaired,. He will be rapidly followed.
Important. Rconnotaeance by General
: Buford; ■ ■
Ctn-rnsß, Y#., August ll.—The brigade ef
cavalry under command of General Buford made
a descent on Madison Court House on Tuesday,
and found that the rebels bod .beau there, but had
left. He uiade a'recomwiiiwtnoe in every direction,'
and met rebel pickets on every’road.
On the seventh, the pickets on the road to Stan
naidßviile bad a skirmish, losing one killed and
three wounded.
On the next day the Ist Maryland had another
skirmish on the Orange Court House road, in which
they lost five killed and four wounded and about a
dozen taken prisoners. Being reinforced by tho
Ist Michigan, the rebels were driven to the R tpidan.
A strong rroonnoissance was mode or the same
evening to the Rapidau, on the Orange road, H -d a
skirmish was going on J without loss, when orders
oarnc from Gen. Buford to return to Madison Court
House, The party got buck at 6A.M. on the 9th,
aud'found everything ready for a retreat toward
Sperryville, as the rebels were approaching from
every direotion. The party reached Wood villa in
’safety, and there halted, and reaohed Culpeper on
Monday night.
The escape of this brigade is considered’almost
mir»culous, as they were surrounded on almost
every side, and all gave the party up as lost.
' General Buford deserves great praise for the able
manner in which he extricated his command from
suoh a perilous position.

How a Great Battle was Postponed.
DISQUIETUDE AT NORFOLK.
Fortress Monroe. August It.—ln regard to
the occupation and evacuation of M.ilv»rn HilL by
the Federal troops bnt little has been said, and the
following particulars may be interestiog: Oar
recommitting division took possession of that posi
tionon Tuesday last, and on that day all the gene
rals of the army went up to view it. General
McClellan sent buck for the greater part of his
army, hut tbo messengers took the wrong road, and
were thus delayed so long that the troops did not
reach Malvern Hill until it was too late to seeure
the advantages intended to be obtained by the
movement.
Only a portion of those sent for arrived at all,
and those only in season to heat a hasty retreat.
This was on Wednesday morning, and on that day
a great battle would have been fought had our
forces arrived in season. But as some of them
were approaching and in sight of Malvern Sill, a
very large force of rebels, numbering at least 10,-
000 tnen, was seen coming from Richmond. They
filled ail the roads, passage-ways and vacant lots as
far as the eye could reach. A retreat was conse
quently made to Harrison’s Lauding.
General McClellan .had planned for a great bat
tle, but the enemy were not asleep to their danger,
and have taken possession of Malvern Sill, with
an immense army.
.Norfolk has been in a state of excitement he
last few days., An officer of the provost guard ap
plied to General Mansfield for permission to search
a house in for arms. Authority was
given him to do so, and arms and ammunition, to
some extent, were found in private dwellings, near
the General’s quarters.
Last night a triple guard was put on duty in
Norfolk. This was not done until many of the
guards had been shut.
It is understood that all the inhabitants of the
district, in the vicinity of Norfolk, Suffolk, and
Portsmouth, are to be put to the test of either
taking the oath of al egianco to the United States,
or leaving for Richmond. -
The mail boat has just arrived from Harrison’s
Landing. The general appearance of affairs there
indicated that a movement of the whole or a large
part ol the army is taking place.
Commodore Porter’s mortar fleet remains at an
ohor in Uampton Roads.

Harrisburg, August 9.
To Hon. S. P. C/tase, Secretary of the Treasury,
Washington, H. C ■'
Sir : The , appointment of proper persons to as
sess and collect the taxes of the United States is a
matter of great importance to the country, and is,
no doubt, occupying your attentiou at this
time. It is believed that in almost every
county of this State fit men for those offices
can be found among the volunteers who have
returned from the field disabled by wounds or
disease. I- earnestly recommend, when compe
tent persons can be, found of this class, that they
should be selected by you as the assessors and col
lectors. Their services seem to give them a right
to this preference, and every consideration should
lead the Government to reward, in every proper
mode, the zeal and patriotism of the men who have
sacrificedhealth or limb -in serving their oountry
during this her hour of trial.
Very respeeifully, your obedient servant,

Kenning Away to Avoid-the Draft
—ABBEST OF PERSONS BOUND FOB KCNtOPK.—
The drafting order lately issued. by onr Government
has filled many persons with adosiroto visit foreign
lands, andmake a tour of Europ<, where, free from war’s
alarms, they may i evel in ail the glories of the gorgoons
East, or wander midst the classic shades of Greece; bnt,
ala* for all human hopes ! a peremptory order from the
Secretary of War, prohibiting any parson liable to be
drafted from leaving the country, feU like a thunderbolt
upon’certain gentlemen between the ages of eighteen and
forty-five, ** who had desired to see the great attractions
is no avenue left for escaping the draft, and the
sleepless vigilance of Chief Buggies will effectually Pa
rent the doparture of any one liable to military duty*
An order has bton received from Washington which
puis the same interdict upon travel to California as that
regarding foreign travel. : ,
The Government has suddenly arrested tin’s fashionable
“travel,” and has thnß prevented cowardly miscreants
from escaping who have made large fortunes in onr com
munity, and whs, while the Government has protected
their lives and property for a number of years, refase to
aid it when help is moßt needed.
The' greatest exodus is, however, by way of to®
Northern frontier, into Canada—a mode of essays not
easily’ prevented. It has, however, been stated that d«-
getters to Canada from onr army can be claimed by
.United States military officers, and brought home to
he punished, in accordance with the English treaty; to®
every man enrolled forservioe raider the present 4rs ***’f
