' THE WAR. Bohlen is dead ! In common with the citizens of Philadelphia—with Americans—we mourn the loss ;of a true gentleman, an exemplary merohant, a brave leader, an able general, a true soldier, and ,an honest man. Brigadier General Henry Bohlen came to this country mmy years ago, and, settling in this oity, oommenoedbusiness as a dealer in foreign wines and liquors, amassing a Considerable fortune, Muoh of his time was given to the study of the art of war, and considering this and his large means.,and influence, it was Dot surprising ; that'more than a year ago he raised in this city 'aneof the finest regiments in the servioe—a regi ment of faithful Germans. This regiment was attached to the division of. General Louis Blea ker, and did excellent Borvioe in; Virginia. Its Colonel, Henry Bohlen, commanded an impro vised brigade, and in April last was commis sioned a:brigadier general of volunteers. When this German division was thrown into Western Virginia under Frement,. General Bohlen became prominent—first, as an officer, and in the . memo rable march aorosß the mountains Bohlon’s brigade carried off the palm, being in the advance, and seeking the enemy always. At the battle of Cross Keys' General Bohlen vied with tho gallant Stahl andfVon Steinvehr in his military order and pro priety of manoeuvre. '. Again, in the valley of the Shenandoah, under the aocomplishod Gene ral Frans Sigel, Bohlen’s friend and oompatriot, his was complimented for its bravery, its splendid appearanoo, and enduranoe of hard drips, unknown even ,to European veterans, with out a murmur. In all that retreat from Culpeper, this trusty brigade was designated bySigeitoguard the rear of the retreating “Army of Virginia,” and well did our hero perform the perilous duties assigned to him and bis men v And when the army was safely across the Rappahannock, still nearest the enemy, Bohlen’s Brigade were fighting con tinually,.and; unfortunately for tho country and its cause, during a skirmish on Saturday General Henry Bohlen was observed by a rebel sharpshooter, while riding across the field, direct ing the movements of ‘Us troops, and shot through the, bead, with a minie ball. He died instantly. Thus fell one of Philadelphia’s best, bravest, and brightest children. For several months past the conduct of the war in the Department;of the West hag been far from successful, or attended with results, calculated to satisfy the publio mind. Sinoe the battle of Pitts burg Banding the tide of our fortune seems to hare been reversed, and although we have sot met with actual defeat; we still have had little cause for ooogr&thla ion or encouragement! The guerillas under the leadership of Morgan, Forrest, Quantril, Poindexter, and' Other equally notorious outlaws, have overrun the States of Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Indiana, and Tennessee, 'and have, even invaded Indiana and other free 'States, car*, ryipg in* ti'elr train, pillage, rapine, and de struction by fire and the sword. Apparently no adequate efforts have been jmade to check, their operations, but in dozens of instances a handful of our men, who have been a tacked, have beau com plied to surrender. In two instaaots, where the' surrender seemed to have been indefensible, the commanders of the-post have been assailed with a “ scarifying order ” from the pen of ah Inactive Major General, and the matter has been dropped; The people have been assured that the inauguration of guerilla warfare by the rebels was one of the “ohisering signs of the times.” Philosophically, this is a most gratify log truth; but actually, and to the people of the. West, it is oho of the; most terrible ooDscquenoes of civil war, and wears anything but a cheering aspect. The troubles in the Wes torn department may be traced to three causes: the necessary retirement of General Halleok, the petty jealousies which have sprung up between major and brigadier generals, and the vest extent of country whioh must not only be traversed. but' occupied...by our Western army. To p’ace the proposition in military form, the only way .to suppress guerilla warfare is to subdue and punish with vigor'these bands of outlaws, and thoroughly possess the territory they invest. It is a relief to know that a successor to Gen. Halleok has been appointed to the Western, department, in the person of G neral Horatio Gates Wright, a na tive of Connecticut, --and a thorough soldier.' A dis tinguished engineer, and a gentleman of conside rable executive, abUity, he has established a re putation as commander of a brigade in the Port Royal expedition. . > The 'seoond annual message of Jefferson Haris," to the Congress of, the States in rebellion, is one of the weakest State-papers it has ever been our for. ; tune to peruse. To quote an elegant and favorite , phrase of the Petersburg Express, it would seem to be “the last 1 kick of the dying beast.” “TJnele Jeff," to speak of him endearingly, is sorely troubled.over the President’s oall for more troops; and he dwells with evident, solicitude upon the stubborn foot that “ the very large increase of forces recently called into the'field by the Presi dent of the United States 'man/' (.’) render it ne cessary hereafter to extend the provisions of the oonsoript law so as to. embrace all persons between the ages of 35 and 45.” This is Mr... Davis' peculiarly, sly and. gingerly vray of broaching the truth to his subjects, wlto, it may reasonably be inferred, wifi sot' hail it with unbotmded -eblat. Governor Brown, of Georgia, was terribly indignact at the passage of the con scription act. We printed, a few days ago; his let . tor to Hr. Davis, oomplaining of -the measure as a threatened subversion of State-authority. Nor has it been many days sinoe we printed the “peti tion of- certain oonaoripta to President Davis,” re questing to be informed whether the people were! Supremo or their Executive ? Mr. Davis will have to be supreme indeed before he oan extend the ! provisions of the conscription act beyond their present bounds; and: yet he has the audaoity to congratulate, the “ friends of con stitaUqpal. liberty •” on their probable final tri umph! , But It is unnecessary for us to point the intelligent reader to the many inconsistencies whioh ere sprinkled through, this effusion, and evince the weakness of the cause whioh it attempts to justify and support. Those who would bo amused, and .those who would see what is the con dition and what are the proapeota of' the “ so c'aUed Southern Confederacy" will, of' course, rbsd this document. Its tamo, spiritless tone virtually admits that the rebels have “under taken more than they can accomplish,” as Mr. wilh remarkable "eanddr, confessed in his first annual message, in so many words. It tells iu nothing new. We have read the substance of it fit Miss Keary’s recently published letter, divulg ing end deploring “ Unole Jeff’s” miserable condi tion. It is not exultant, 'boastful, nor in the writer’s usual vein, and, will, not satisfy the rebel press or people THE NEWS. A host disgraceful riot ooourred <m Saturday in the camp of the Empire Brigade, near East New York, during which two thousand men, being dia satif-fied, tore down their barracks, gutted a hotel, and shamefully beat their officers, after which they Skedaddled tor New York and Brooklyn. Out of; twe*regiments only about one hundred and fifty men could he mustered yesterday. The serious results of a lack of discipline were never more powerfully manifest than on this occasion. Urotr our first page to-day will be found a num ber of important letters from our special corre spondents in Tennessee and Arkansas giving a complete history of the recent operations of our armies in the Southwest. From these letters, we learn that, although a vast amount of jealousy ox iata among our major generals, they are laying aide .all thought of self in the present emergency, and are at last, for the time being, at least, devo ting some attention to the suppression of guerilla warfare in their departments.

Wallace returned to Indianapolis, lid.‘, on tho 14th instant,' from his visit to the First district of the Slate, where ho had been aotively at work in forwarding enlistments. On his arrival he received a deep toh from, Gen. Grant stating that his presence at Memphis was not then neoe«ssary. Ho immediately went to Governor Morton and ten dered bis services to assume the command of the new Indiana regimes.ts expected at the State capi tal, and to place them in a camp of instruction. Gen. Wallace intended, should the Seoretary of War accept his services in this capacity, to at once commence to drill and discipline the troops. A Boston paper announces that Mr. Dana G. Agnew, of that city, has concluded arrangements with Mr.; F. F. Wells, who has contracted with' Government to raise the vessels sunk in Hampton Roads, to take an active part in the diving depart ment of the undertaking.' The work will bo oar ried on with skill and industry, and no expense he spared to insure its auooess.

The Blinois Journal , remarking' tint men in that State notoriously known to be “ Knights of the Golden Cirole,” are suddenly willing to take oath that they do not belong to that Order, explains tho faot by stating that the members of the Order have changed their name to that- of “ Consolidated Democracy.” The men who met in Independence Square oh Saturday last belong to . this new party organisation. The President as a Letter-Writer. President Lincoln lias his own way of meeting unpleasant questions. He acts upon the Jackson example of “ taking the respon sibility,”, or vulgarly speaking, “thebull by. the horns.” . Realizing that all our present troubles are novel to us, he thinks they require novel remedies. ; As they are unprecedented, so must they be opposed by unprecedented measures. In giving effect to these ideas, ho is sometimes compelled to overstep the old and dusty proprieties. But he manages to solve ugly problems, and to satisfy the people of his sincerity andhis patriotism. Call his way of doing these things quaint or out of tho way, it is nevertheless a way that has thus far worked uncommonly well. When Gen. Cameron was attacked and held respon sible, during his absence,Tor certain alleged corrupt transactions, by a Congressional com mittee, the President bushed and. refuted com plaint by sending a message into the House, and' assuming the censured acts as his own. When the Border Siata men were growling over his emancipation scheme, and helping the Seces. sionists, by their*; foolish tears in regard to it, he asked them to. his own chamber, and in a speech full of his own odd common sense, appealed: to them to judge his motives aright, thereby mollifying some and convincing others. • When the free negroes were to be invoked to support his colonization plan, he sent for some' of the sablo gentlemen, and talked to them in a strain of direct and familiar frankness, tha% reached their own hearts and touched the hearts of thousands of others. When Secretary Stanton and Gene ral McClellan were on tho eve of a dispute that must have been generally calamitous, the President rode to a mass war meeting at the Capitol grounds, in Washington, told the crowd that-the quarrel was rather that of others than ef their own, and announced his purpose that; there should be'peace among, all-the members, of his civil and military household if he could, effect it. Now we have the President in the role of a letter-writer. Ignoring tho practice of his illustrious predecessors, he calmly sits down and indites a reply-tp a newspaper editor who prints his epistle to the President ia order tliat all the world may have his private opi nions publicly expressed. This editor is Mr. Horace Greeley, of the New York Tribune, who, nbtwithßtahdingjhis close party, personal, and political relations to Mr. Lincoln, fear lessly and somewhat unfairlycomplained of his administration of the Government > and his management of the warl Tho President sends his answer to 'Mr. Greblbt,- -and, not to be outdone in ‘ polite publicity, allows the telegraph to send ’ and all the other papers to print it. It is a model of its kind. It will be earnestly read and long rememberedjay every patriotic citizen. Care fully considered, it is precisely the letter that 1 a President should write in such a time as this, and wo think, however Mr. Grkelhy may ' receive it, the president should thank- him for giving him,the opportunity of writing it. ;AS we read these messages, speeches, and letters of Mr. Lincoln, there is one fact that cannot .escape the attention of the truly loyal citizen. They are intended to • accomplish the one great end of union among ‘all: the friends of, the country in ilm v hour of its direst perif. Another man, of' nar row and prejudiced intellect, might ruin his. country by adhering to his own opinions, aud by rejecting his obligations in order to gratify his animosities. But Abraham Lincoln sots an; example to all in his reply to Mr. Grkbi,kt. Ho will not allow the traitors to succeed, if he can prevent this by any sacrifice or surrender, or concession or expedient, consistent with his oath of office and his solemn pledge to maintain the Constitution and Union-intact and inviolate. His own words on this head deserve to be written in letters of gold : My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without free ing any slave, I would do it; and if I oould Bare it by freeing all the slaves, I would do It; aud if I oould save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race, I I do because I think it helps to save this Union, and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall, believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I believe doing more .will help the cause.. I shall try to correct errors when shown to bo errors, and I shall adopt new views as fast as they shall appear to be true views. The Sympathizers in Council “ The Democratic -meeting ” at Independ ence Square,: on Saturday evening, was, in some respects, a Comical affair. Started by Mr. Frank Hughes as an earnest demon stration . against the war and the Adminis tration, and assisted by Mr. Witte, Mr. Is'-' gersoll, and others in the same spirit, it was so shaped and controlled by the lesser lights of the Breckinridge party until it assumed the aspect of a reluctant manifestation of patriotism. Mr. Hughes was bent upon an out-and-out anti-war expression. He flat tered himself that having driven the “De . mocracy ” <jf Schuylkill into a rathor marked to sustaining the Government in the present struggle, he could enact the same feat hero. His success has’not been very flattering;. With the exception of a few blase politicians, faded relies of the last Ad ministration, and eccentric worshippers of the Southern chivalry, his addresses and appeals have produced as little effect in this city as if they had been published by poetic tailors or rhetorical medicine men. If they created any feeling it was to alarm tho busy politicians and nominalion-seekera. -The original oall of Mr. Frank Hughes for the " Democratic meet ing” almost disappeared under the alterations of tho looal leaders. At first it was a fierce denunciation of the «demon Abolitionism” as the great cause of the war, and an appeal to the “ Democracy” after the style of Dr. Olds, to come prepared to put down any attack upon their freedom of speech. Bitter protests were made to,Mr. Frank Hughes not merely against a. meeting so generally suspected, but against the terms of the call. After some •hesitation, he agreed to erase one portion of tho call, and, as wo are informodby yester day’s ' Sunday Dispatch, to add tho following: “As well as to aid it [the with all our physical resources in suppressing the existing rebellion now waged by the Secession ists of the South.” • The addition was extorted from 1 Mr. Huttos as a concession to the justice of the cause of the country.. The resolutions were. Hughes’ throughout, save where loyal Democrats in sisted upon interpolating denunciations of the Secessionists! Hughes sees but one foe to the country—" the domon Abolitionism but the Democrats see two, Secession and Abo litionism. Then wo have a resolution against the arrest ot citizens without trial by jury, and in favor of freedom of speech and freedom of the press j then an endorsement of the majori ty of the Border State Congressmen, against President Lincoln’s Emancipation proposi tion ; then a full approval of Hughes himself, of the addresses of Hughes, of his State Con vention, his resolutions, and his great plan of celebrating the anniversary of the Federal Constitution on the 17 th ot September. It will be seen that Mr. Hughes has taken good care to have all his own proceedings heartily endorsed. Then came the speeches— after that of Hugh eh, which was a mere rehash of the resolutions. First, Mr. Peter McCall, who gives a few sentences against the rebels, and the remainder of bis quarter of a column against the Government, and almost directly against the war. Second, Mr. "Witte, who pursued tb e same line of argument, and re garded the rebels as tho lesser offenders against the Government. Third, Mr. Oh as. Ingersoll, who was characteristically bizarre. He thought the whole Glamor against the Democracy was because the Democracy was " the majority!” He said the meeting had been denounced by the Republican papers— that he didn’t know the names of these papers! ‘ and that he never read them. lie ridiculed the efforts ot the Government to put down the,rebellion—-assailed the corruptions of the. Republicans—asserted that the whole object . of the war was to free the nigger, and did not deign to utter one word of emphatic rebuke of the rebellion! Fourth, Mr. John Bkll Ko-. binson, in general and offensive elaboration of all these ideas; * and’ lastly, a very ill-tem pered loiter of Mr. James W. Wall; of Mow Jersey, in abuse of everybody but the rebels. And so ends. this last of the Democratic meetings. As we read over the resolutions and speeches we are reminded that, ever since .James Buchanan, deserted his pledges, the Democratic leaders have never held one mass l meeting in Philadelphia that was not a flagrant insultto public opinion. The meeting at Jayne’s Hall, in support of Lecompton, in 1858; the meeting at National Hall, in support of Breck inridge ; the meeting at the same place in favor of carrying Pennsylvania out of tho Union, in 1861, after several of the Southern States had seceded—were all of this character. And now wo have another, if possible, more unworthy, disgraceful, and heartless. As yet not one meeting has been held by these Democratic lead ers unconditionally in favor of the war. The spirit that sanctified Lecompton; that perse cuted Douglas ; that praised Buchanan ; that landed BailcitixEiDGEl that called for.the se-' cession of Pennsylvania, after the example of South Carolina, is still- alive and defiant. It spoke out on Saturday ovening, in Imlopen denco Square.. Its hopes and objects are set forth In its proceedings; and it is no wrong to denounce them, as unworthy of the great struggle in which our 'Republic is involved.: When will the Democratic masses of Philadel phia be, fully convinced that, however loyal’ they may be, their leaders have no heart in the cause of the country? LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.” Washington, August 24, 1862. While we are debating hereaways whether Stonewall Jackson shall take up his quarters at Willard’s, or tha’ Jeff Davis may oust Mr. Lincoln from the White House and Soldiers’ Home, let me say a sort of parenthetical word about that novel-subject, the negro. This latter will possibly be sandwiched between a Sunday of peace , and, a Monday, of; war. At any rate, let it go. In these days the negro is always with us. Patient statesmen, who have deplored his presence here, and have tried' to alleviate; his condition, are how exorcised how to dispose of him in the , new relation he- is made lo sustain to the warlike complications of the times. Yery small parti sans may look upon tho sudden release-of thou sands of slaves by the acts of tue slaveholding Secessionists, and upon the dangers thus in curred by'the blacks formerly tree, with a sort of grim and malignant satibfactipn,' that both together may assist the so party, and contribute to a settled and 'chronic divisio'n of the N orthern people. This wretched business may be safely confided to. the Breck inridge politicians and the discharged office holders of JamesPuchanah. But the thought ful and common-sense patriot will look about him for a remedy for an evil not brought upon the country by the present Administration, or indeed by any party but those moit noisy in complaining of it. Such a man wiil find in the- following extract from a late war speech of Gen. •ot New York, not simply a cure for this great evil, but an answer to the miserable; arguments of the politicians, who make use of the negro ques tion in Pennsylvania and elsewhere to embar rass tho Government: “ Now, I have a word or two to say to my follow citizens, and especially to those who have hitherto done me the honor to concur with mo in my views of public affairs; In the event of the resu tof the war terminating in emancipation, I wish to say that" men’s minds should; at once be disabused of any false notions they may have conceived. ■ The labor ing men of the North need :not suppose that the treed men of tho. South will ever interfere with or , become oompetitorsiwiih thorn in the labor market of the North. It must beborne in inmdthat,'since this great convulsion of. the theSouh has not been able to produce enough of - rioe, cotton, tobacco, corn, sugar, and the 'other staples for. whioh she ia eo famed. The demands of tho world have been great, but she oonld not meet them. For more than a year not more than one half of their usual orops has been produced;. And remember, the demand is always increasing for all the staples of the South produced by negro, labor. Remember'that there is more cotton land and rice and sugar; land now un cultivated in'the South than there has been hitherto' cultivated by a}l the planters who flourished there - but a single year ago.* Remember that this demand must go on continually increasing and the supply , be greatly diminished for years to .oorne before capital can resume its former channel. ' “ Cannot every man see it, that when peaoe shall be restored, the demand for negro labor 'in the : South will be so inoreased that ajl the blacks 1 throughout the country will bo drawn by attrac tion towards tho South, and there be entirely ab sorbed ? So that, so far as tho labor of the blacks ceasing to be in demand on'the cessation of war and the restoration of peace,-the demand for, ;the -.great staples of rioe, tobacco, sugar, and ootton— which will and must be scarce—will call the ser vice of every black laborer into instantaneous and continuous requisition, and a new impulse will be given to every branch of productive industry. The .prosperity of the North, meanwhile, is not to cease. Capital, enterprise, thrift, are still here among us, and will be then as now ; and we will not only hare the same demand for labor with liberal wages, and the same reward for enterprise and industry, but, in ruy humble judgment, every branch of trade and commerce and domestic in dustry will rise into new life when tho Union and ;= the Constitution shall be vindicated and peaoe re -1 stored.”' These are words of weighty wisdom, and there is no successful reply to thorn. Secre tory Seward’s late letter, in which he invokes European emigration to the United; States to fill the vacuum created by the enormous contribution of our white men to the army of the Ecpublks, bears with signal significance upon this question. ’ The freed slaves of the South will bo required to till the Southern cotton, rice, tobacco, and sugar fields, and the emigrants of the Old World will be demanded to occupy the void in the various mechanical and agricultural walks of the free States. These two propositions stand like an impregnable battlement," and prove, conclu sively that tho .white men of tho free States need not fear an exodus of the free or disfran chised blacks of the South, and that the South must perish forever,if not cultivated by these en franchised blacks. General Sickles closes his observations on ■this bead with another philosophical argument, which I need not say is closely connected with the proposition I have commented upon. There can be no peace that dots not close out slavery on this continent: . j “ There iatobe no peaee on .this continent, ns I believe; until these thirty States are united.; You and! may live to be seventy years old;; we shall never see peace on this continent until we see one flag from the Lake to the Gulf, and we shall never sea it until slavery is eliminated from the institutions THE PRESS.- PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY.

Occasion ax.. General Sigel Covers the Rear. CAPTURE OF AH ENTIRE REBEL BRIGADE Attempt to Cross tbe Rappahannock. HEAVY ARTILLERY FIGHTING. [Special Correspondence of The Press.] Headquarters Arht of Virginia, August 22, 1882. - After many vexatious delays, caused by the"use: .which the army is making of the railroad:! arrived here on lust Wednesday. The country is a Sue, open one, with gentle undulations, and an oooa- - sional eminence rising up here and there, affording a fine view of tho surrounding country. The gene ral direction of the river at this point is from north west to southeast. We oooupy tho northeastern slope—the enemy the southwestern. Our position was happily chosen, and carries viotory on the very faeo of it; so that I am not at■all astonished at the impatience exhibited by our boys, who aro really 11 itching for a fight.” I saw one individual on the field absolutely yawn ing with impatience, to whioh he gave vent at last in the following strain: “I wish the d—drebels would come on now. I’m afeerd Jackson got eold last night, or maybe the snn- is too strong for his eyesand much more in tho'same strain.’ .There has been some sharp skhmishing and cannonading during the last two days, but nothing of a very de cisive oliaraoter. The enemy is afraid to attaok us in force, and we oooupy a position whioh it would be imprudent to abandon for a fow days. All un necessary baggage having been sent to the rear, we aro now uninoumbered, and in excellent fighting trim. On last Wednesday an incident occurred which was somewhat singular, and gave, a slight advantage to the rebels. A party of fifteen of onr cavalry had been out scouring the country, and not having found a rebel during thoir morning’s ride, resolved to tako breakfast. They accordingly alighted, and having had a sharp ride, they unsad dled their horses, so that the animals might be re freshed whon next, they mounted thorn. • Their fancied security and repose wore of short duration, however, for soaroely had they fairly set about preparing breakfast, when a troop of rebel cavalry pounoed on them so suddenly, that they were captured.before they could offer any effectual resistance. While the rebels were securing their prisoners, tho horses, which had boon quietly gra zing, on lifting their heads seoing that ail was. not right, very sagaoiously and properly set off at full speed without saddles or riders, and having arrived safely in camp, created quite a sensation, which gave rise to many surmises as to what had become of the riders. . . ... After nearly an hour had elapsed, in which pos sible and impossible speculations were indulged, a squadron of Gen. Buford’s cavalry went oat to search tbe surrounding country; they did not pro ceed far when they encountered a body of rebel cavalry under Gen. Stewart.. On these they charged with such impetuosity that the rebelß ran in all directions. Many wero oaptnred, among whom was an r exquisitely dressed major, who, from the style of his drees, was supposed by onr men to bo the principal person in command, and who, ac cordingly, was pursued with the utmost vigor and de ermination. Our men were much disappointed on finding that he was only a major, while thatindi vidual, like the stag in the fable, was left to bewail bis fate. ' The fop in this ease saved the general, and ho may have the benefit of the.consolation. Later in tho day another attempt was made by the enemy to oooupy the left bank of the river at this point. They oame forward cautiously-through a belt of woods, the/open field in front of whioh. . was held by a part of Rickolt’s division. -JB.othi' parties commenced firing, and..as the rebel position was rather more favorable than ours, afeigned're ■ treat was ordered. This bad the desired effect; tbe rebels dashed.forward with a shout of triumph. It .was soon succeeded by.-. : dismay, for no sooner were they, completely out of the woods-than onr' men wore faoed about and pouring a deadly, volley into' them, whioh emptied many saddles. We fol-' lowed up our success with a splendid charge. The rebels now turned and flotl, pursued by our oavalry, who completely "routed them across the -Kappahannock. We captured about thirty head of cattle which the enemy was forced to. leave behind hm. Our troops are now encamped on the other side— a part of Buford’s cavalry and Rickett’s di vision. At this point we: have possession of tho railroad.bridge across the Rappahannock. The rebels next attacked our centre, a few miles higher up; they commenced shelling at an early hour on, the 21st, and oontinued until about one o’clock. At one time they attempted to cross tho river, but were driven back with considerable loss. Wo took nine prisoners at this point, who were the: most oddly and wretchedly- dressed soldiers we ever oast our eyes on. Two of these attracted our at tention especially. One was dreßsed partially in clothes taken from onr dead or-woundod on the field, and seemed, to feel very uncomfortable, as bis boots and pants were spoken of as having boon taken from the dead. Another was an intelligent looking and determined negro, who fought, we were told, with the utmost desperation as he was about to be captured. The rebels next attacked our forces at Kellyville, or Kelly’s ford. While the cannonading was going. on above, and all was quiet at this point, and onr boys were regaling themselves with broiled b:ef, Ac., a rebel major same aver among them, who had become faint with hunger, and begged a few crackers. These and some coffee and beef being . given to him he resigned kirns df to our charge, whore, in future,- his creature wants will be more generously and' plen'ifully supplied than among. the needy rebels. The attack at Kelly’s ford was repulsed, and the i cannonading ceased about five o’otock in the after noon. Our line of battle was maintained; and the men slept on'their arms all night. The enemy having felt our linea at various points; bat princi pally at those named, we expected a night attaok, and'.waited.with much anxiety, each moment-ex-i peering to hear from him, but all was quiet during’, the night. f , ' In the morning, however, at a quarter past five o’clock, he opened v a battery on our centre,' and oontinued vigorously to throw shot and shell.for several hours. A little higher up it was discovered' that the enemy had, during the night, erected a bridge over the river. At this point the most brilliant and successful affair of. the day is reported to have occurred. In : the vicinity of this bridge was ono of Geaeral Sigel’s batteries, on which the rebels opened .a brisk fire, to which, for a time, our battery replied with spirit. In a little while onr fire slackened, and then ceased, the battery having .been appa rently silenced or withdrawn. Three r rebel regi ments now. rushed across the bridge, and -Sigel offered no opposition. -.J Everything seems favorable, but alas! the soon obangts. No sooner have they crossed than Sigel opens his battery os the bridge. The foprth shot completely demolishes it, and at the same time a deadly fire of musketry assails the rebels in front. Their retreat is cut off. No hope is left. A'few Bhots from out battery, a oharge, and they are ours. Not a man escaped! Nearly 2,000 are sali to 'have been captured, and about 400 killed and wounded. ' f • , Tho enemy having failed-in this, now.hurlifor ward their forces with impetuosity, and strive to outflank Sigel by orossing at French’s ford;''but Gen. Pope orders up Banks and Reno to thi’aid ofSigol, and the enemy is again repulsed,, ind moves higher up the river. How the next attempt of the enemy succeeded, I have not yet learned. Finding that tho progress of the rebels was still northward, and that they would be likely to ifiake a desperate attempt to cross the North Fork where the road leads to Warrenton, I took passage m the train for - Alexandria to go up the road, and be nearer the expected scene of action. Night hod just set in wbon wo arrived at Catlett’s Station, and' the train was switched off to permit the down train to pass; scarcely Was this -accomplished, .whoa picket firing was heard in rear of the encampment, which, at this point; protected a supply train and some cattle. A tonifio uproar. now oommenoedj . which, owing to the darkness, we could not -fairly comprehend. In an instant a 1 terrific fight at Close . quarters commenced, the combatants being as,close as a mob in a street row Some one in oommand gave the ward “Fire the train,” or “ Fire at the train,” at which 'the’'en gineer and ono of the conductors, together with gome of the passengers, fled in terror. I lay down on the seat on which I had been sitting, so as to>be protected from the balls, which were flying in all directions, and, at tho same time, to observe-the fight through a Window of the oar. Fortunately, one ,of the brakesmen of the oar had the presence of mind to turn the switch and start the. engine", or we should all havo been killed, as a portion of the attacking party now direoted their attention ex clusively to us. We had not proceeded far when i We were attacked again, in a muoh more terrific and THE RETREAT FROM CULPEPER. HIS CONSUMMATE- STRATEGY.

I shall not'rapidly forget the terror-stricken appearance of a lady and a little girl, abont twelve years of age, as a flash of lightniog revealed their faces where they lay in terror, nor the tenacity with which a young man lying beside me clasped mo tor protection. My position was on the side of the train whioh was attacked. After we bad proceeded a little farther on onr way; and esoaped one danger, a new- one awaited us. We were in danger of being' run'in to by the down train. Most of the hands had run off, and the brakesman, who was running tho engine, came back where a Major Halfman, of Philadelphia, and myself were standing. The brakesman told ns that ho was afraid to go farther, as he had no one' to man tho breaks. Your correspondent and the major at onoe volunteered to perform that duty, which we did accordingly, and. proceeded on our woy to Manassas Gap J unction, fortunately with out meeting any impediment. : Since the above was. written, I have learned that Lieut. A. G. Ellis, of the 6th Wisconsin Regiment, came up to Washington from Catlett’s Station, bringing with him os prisoner a rebel - lieutenant, J. O.

The gunboat Besolute, Acting Matter Tolb. arrived yesterday morning, bringing the body of MroirAsn Ryan, who was killed on the 2lßt, near tho month of ihe Bappa hannock. From one of the officers tho following parti culars have been obtained: Recently Master Toms, with a licet,wsin fruiu.theßesolute, proceeded ■■ up Stargeon creek abdut.'tbree miles to cut out two vessels, which thi y had been informed w ere up the creek; and reaching the place cut out one of them, and were towing it down when it ran aground. They sot about getting it off, when they were fired into by a gang of guerillas in am bush on shore. The lira was immediately returned, and was kept up for some time. Finding it impossible to get tbe sloop off, the party returned to the Besolute. Tho following persons in tbe boat were wounded: Peter -/Wilson, in tbe hand; B. Kank, io the side, thigh and arm; John M ©Donald, in the left hand and arm; and Jackson, a. citizen of'Virginia, who was acting as u pilot, in the forehead. On Thursday last another expedition was formod, and Master Jocelyn, of the Reliance, Master Tole and mas ter’s mate, T Newton, with a boat’s crow from tho two ■vessels, went up again and set fire to the schooner, and finding the s’oop still aground, they also fired her. As they were pulling away, the guerillas fired into them - from an ambush.on the shore. Tho men immediately re turned tbe fire with rifles, and, working the beat in posi tion, brought a howitzer to hear with grape and riflod shot, and it is probable with effect,-as the firing from the Bhoro soon ceased. In the boat, Michael Byan, of the Beseluh, was killed; Thomas'Newton, ..master’s mate, wounded in tbe foot; Andrew Spicenger, of the Reliance, in the thigh, and Frank Miller in the right arm. The boat then returned, firing into every auspicious locality on tho way, in order t) guard against surprise, and reached the ship. As the boat was pulliug away from the scene of action, the rebels were seen running through the fioldß and along the beach, having with them a number of women and children, using them ex pressly as screens to prevent our crew from firing upen them. • Construction, of the Excise Law.

If thero he in it any inferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn,’ I do cot now and here argue against them. If there be perceptible in it an impatient and dictatorial tone, I. waive it in deference to on old friend, whoso heart I have always supposed to be right. As to the policy I “ soem to be pursuing,” as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt. - • I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest’ way under the Constitution. The-sooner the national authority oan he restored the nearer the Union will be ‘•the Union as it was.” If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the seme time sane slavery, Ido not agree with them. If thero ho those who would uot save the Union unless they could at the' same time destroy slavery, Ido not agree with them. My paramount-object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without, freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and-if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about slsyery and tlio colored race, I do because I beiieris it helps to save this Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would' help’to save tho Union.

Is Damp, near Bappabakhoox Statics, Va., Augfist St.—AU is quiet in front of our lines this morning. Hast evening. reports came in of the approach of tbs enemy in the direction of a ford some two miles above'this place, on the Rappahannock. Hall’s. Mains battery, which did such splendid service at Cedar Mountain, and the 3d Hew York, were ordered to proceed to that place, with the 88th Pennsylvania and the 3d Maryland regiments, but the enemy did not put in an appearance during the night. It was thought they would attempt to ford the river at some point close by, at least with their cavalry, but our army being placed in position so as to defend all these points, it is believed their purpose was defeated. > The entire army was underarms all night, but most of the solders enjoyed a nap.durfDg the small hours. In tho skirmishing yesterday with the cavalry of the enemy, the Ist Maine, dot. Allen; which was in the ad vance, had three men wounded, end named B O’Connell, in the arm, and lost five men, who were cut off and taken prisoners. > The HarrlsLight Cavalry, which sustained the heaviest I ora, did excellent duty, and deserve the highest praise for their steadiness during the entire engagement. Their loss is not known, but is not large. The pioneer corps of the different divisions were busily engaged-during tho night in throwing up earthworks and constructing bridges to enable our batteries and their supports to cross the river in case of necessity. The wagon trains on Tuesday from Culpeper are said to have been eight or nine miles long, and the generals have said there were enough to aupply an army twice as large as that in this department. During tho SghtiDg yesterday, and while the rebel cavalry were about making a charge upon tho Harris Light Cavalry, a party of stragglers numbering some one hundred and fifty, who had got together In the woods unobserved by the enemy, suddenly put In and flroi such a volley , into their ranks as to send them to the right, about oh a double-quick. Theso men had no officers to command them. Ona sergeant was present, but he refusing to take the lead, a privato stopped forward (o tho front, and nobly did he perform the duty which he thus took upon himself. The Utile party continued Borne hours picking off the rebels, asfcften as they came within range. - Private Griffiths, with a sergeant: and three men, wore behind, having been used up on the - march; and our ca valry being driven back they were taken prisoners, their arms, Ac.,‘taken from them, and marched toward the rear in a double-quick, under throats of having their braicß blown out. ‘While they were on their way our cuvelry made a charge towards them, which caused their captors to make haste to their lines, and Griffiths hid behind a bush, where he was .fired on by oar men for a rebel. ■ - He finally reached our lines safely. The others have not been heard from. Ha says the rebels are miserably clad, their clothes tom and dirty, and the officers as bad as the privates. - The Ist New Jersey are said to have charged into the middle of the enemy, and were surrounded by two regi ments of infantry, and one-halt are said to have boon taken prisoners.

The Maseacrej: b'r Indians in Mirmsotae— .Boo Whites Murdered. , St. Paoi., Mian., Aug. 22—Parties from ths Minns- eota river reached here lastnight. They state that the scouts estimate the. number of whites, already killed by the Sioux at 600. Tbie opinion in based upon the mum* bar of bodies discorered s rewed along the road, an 1 by the trails of blood. It is believed that all the missiona ries Have been hilled. The civilized Indians exceeded their ravage brethren in atrocities. Mr. Tranter, an interpreter, who has spent most of his life among the Indians,'volunteered to' go 1 alone among them, trusting to bis knowledge of them and his disguise t<? escape detection: : He dreßsed himself in Indian cos tume and Btirted on his journey. He arrived at the Upper Agency at night. The place was literally the habitation of death. [Ho visited an the houses and found all their former oc cupants lying dead, some on the doorstops and some in side their habitations ethers were scattered in the yards and in the roads. .Bo went to the house of Hon. J. B. Brown and recognized every member ofthe family. They numbered eighteen in all, and every one of them had been btutally murdered. ;At Beaver Greek he found that fifty- families had been killed outright. At every, house he went Into he recog nized the dead bodies of nearly all the former inhabi tants of the place. Among the dead bodies he recognized at the Agency were tlie following: N. Githens and family, Dr. Wake field and family, John Boddens and family, John Moyner, Edword JSloyner, Bev. Dr. Williams, Bev. Mr. Briggs, and two missionaries. Ex-Governor Sibley is now marching to the relief of Tort Bidgeiy. He reports that the Sioux hands are united together to - oorry out a concerted and desperate ’scheme, and says that be will be only toe happy to find that the powerful bands of the Yankton* and other tribes have not united with them. Mr. Frenier writes 'to Governor Bamsey on the 21st inat., saying that he left Fort Bidgeiy at two o’olock on that morning.- There were then oyer two thousand In dians at the fort, and all the woeden buildings there had been set on fire and were burning. Mr. Frenier thinks' that other tribes aro joining the Bioax, and that they will present a very formidable army. A reliable letter dated Glencoe, 21st instant,: says that the injury done by the stampede of, the settlors is immense, and 'that such another scene of woe could hardly be found in the South as in McLeod, Meeker, and' .the northern part of Sibley, and other counties in Min-' neeota. In Bt. Paul’s and the adjoining country all the available hones are being gathered together, and ail sorts of.weapons will bo need by witling hands for imme diate and summary vengeance upon these blood-thirsty Indians, Tho first attack was made on the house of Mr. Baker, on Sunday last, near the town of Aoton, and thirty miles from Forest City, In which throe white men and one weman were killed. .On Monday morning an attack was made on Bedwood, and at the time the messenger left there a number of persons had been killed. After the messenger bad crossed the riyor, he saw the Indians firing into the traders’ stores and other buildings. He esti mated the number of Indians engaged in this firing at one hundred and fifty. He also stated that messengers bad arrived at Fort Bidgeiy with money to pay off the Indians the sums duo thorn. , : .in, M , The St. Paul JYesrbf the 21st Inst, says that soveral loads of panic-Btricken people from Currec and Sibley counties arrived in town last night, principally women and children. They were, greatly oxoited, and : give ex aggerated accounts of the Indiana who were marching on Shaska county. They also say that the towns of St. Peter, HendetßOn, and Glencoe have been burned. A private letter received in this city, to-day, from St. Paul, dated the 20th inst., says that it seems to be the general .opinion among the best informed of our citizens that these Indian troubles originated with the cursed Seces sionists of Missouri.
