THE WAR
War begets rumors, but never was more proliSo
than at present Rumors arc current everywhere
of ibo occurrence of groat battles,' the death of dis
tinguished officers, the oapture of armies, of raid",
advances, retreats, and disasters, creating much
excitement and corcern among the people, and
stirring times among the stock brokers and
money obargors, but yielding no satisfaction
to the intelligent masses. This is but the
fret great disadvantageous result of excluding
correspondents from the army lines. It is
the duty of the public journalist to furnish the
people with tbo latest news in tho most reliable
shape, and to do this an immense expenditure is
sustained by the leading newspapers of the country
to Bend out correfpoadents with every division of
the army of the Republic for the purpose of send
ing by telegraph or m-.ii the earliest and fullest do
tails of everylhing that may transpire. When a
battlo has been fought, a movement made, a vio
tory gained, or a retreat sustained, can there be
any harm in apprising tho people of the facts?
Is it just that loyal men, good and truo, en
deavoring to serve tha public interoats; risking
their lives in the prosecution of their profession,
while submitting to ail reasonable regulations, as
these same newspaper correspondents, should be
looked upon as spies ? In the extremity to
whioh we have been forced, we must
ask tho icdulgence of our readers for
a time. AVhm wo. cannot got nows legiti
mately, we must take up the rumors of Wash
ington and Baltimore, and sift them down so as to
get as near the truth as possible. When tbo tele
graph office is closed against us, wo must use the
maili and when the editors’ pouch is excluded
from' the mail car, we must employ special
messengers until the Government shall take
military possession of all tbe railroads, and deny
tis this privilege. The account whioh we published
in Monday's Press concerning tho capture of a
rebel brigade bj Sigel, has been fully confirmed
from various sources. It appears, however, that
many of these prisoners effected their esc ipe by
some means Tho rumor whioh we published
yesterday, to the effuct that General Sigol had
shot General McDowell, although generally be
lieved and mentioned by tho correspondents
of tho New Y.,rk papers, is denied by a pri
vate despatch from high authority in AYashing
ton. Tho Btiirtilng intelligence which reached us
last evening, that the honored remains of Briga
dier General Bohlen had been ruthlessly taken
from tho possession of Mr. Zeig!er,of this city, not
-very far from-the city of AVashington, by rebel
guerillas, is, to say cho least, both mortifying and
astounding, and oanouly.be classed along with suoh
acts as tbe brutal assassination of General McCook
in the Southwest. It shows, too, what we an
pained to announce, ihat the rebels are infesting
the ctmntry about Manassas, but we hope it
may prove only a tem.orary and unimportant
raid. Again we would direct tho attention of the
people towuTd the Valley of the Shenandoah. We
may expect important nows from that quarter at
any moment. Whatever may occur, wo shall pub
lish no false sensational matter; rumors and facts
will be winnowed from general report, and desig
nated always in our columns. Wo caunot close
our “ War article ” this morning without publish
ing the fact that as we write, and as the reader
peruses these lines, great events are transpiring in
Virginia. “God defend the right and save the
Union!”
TRE NEWS.
We print to-dnj some, important diplomatic cor
respondence between Mr. Secretary Seward and
Earl Bussell, upon the subject of the present rebel
lion. 'The despatch of Mr, Seward puts the matter
before the world -in an able manner, and' the good
effect upon the foreign Powers will be instantly and
powerfully evident.
Prom the Southwest ‘we learn that Magruder
contemplates an invasion of Kentucky, with aforos
of 15,000 rebels, and is about to carry his designs
into exeoutiun.
Our Southern nows to-day is late and important,
but the Southern newspapers are not allowed to
publish a word of military rows. Ex Governor
Winßlow, of North Carolina, is dead,
More iron-clads have been oommenoed. The
keols- of two were laid near Pittsburg, Pa., on
Saturday. These are intended for river service
chiefly. The Government is also negotiating for
the purchase of two Mississippi steamboats, with
tbe "view of making mailed ships of them. The
Choctaw and Fort Henry (iron-dads), now pretty
well advanoed at St Bonis, were not originally in
tended for Government duty, but are expeoted to
make - very serviceable craft, nevertheless. Nearly
a hundred vessels have been chartered recently for
temporary service by the Navy Department.
The foreign news by the steamers Persia, Teu
tonia, Kangproo, and Great Eastern is highly im
portant. In another oolumn will bo found the hews
in detail. The London Times is as bitter as ever
on American affairs. Tbe movements of Garibaldi
in Italy are beginning to attraet the whole atten
tion of nearly all the European Powers.
An important order has been issued by the War
Department, and forwarded to the special provost
marshal of New York yesterday, relative to the
proounng of substitutes in anticipation of a draft.
By the terms of the order, all attempts to procure
substitutes in amicipstion of the draft will be re
garded .by the War Department as discouraging
enlistments; and the persons who make suoh at
tempts, and tboir aiders and abettors, are liable to
arrsot under tbe order ef August Bth. By the
same order, the > übliuution of advertisements with
a view of aiding such attempts will hereafter ren
der the publisher liable to arrest. ;
Tbb re-arrest of Mr. Charles Ingersoll, by our
marshal, Mr. Mill ward, excites some interest among
the peogle. Jud go Cadwalader issued a habeas
corpus in this case yesterday, returnable to-day at
IX o’clock. .
The attack upon Messrs. Zeigler and com
panions, by rebel guerillas, while engaged in the
holy duty of bringing home the remains of the
brave and lamented Boblen, is one of the most
humiliating and disheartening events of the war.
Every one will read our special despatch, giving
the details of the affair, with a shudder, and the
bitterness of the .Northern people will be augment

A Word to our Friends
We desire to say a word to the representa
tives of the 1-iyal people of Philadelphia, who
meet to-day in Convention to nominate candi
dates fur various offices. They have a duty
before them which must be discharged with
fidelity and care. The task is to unite the
elements of the. new popular organization
upon a healthy and honorable basis. The
example of the Convention at Harrisburg,
and the app* al contained in tho address of
the State Committee, should not be forgotten.
What the State Convention has done for
the Mate, vhe city Convention should do tor
the city. 1 hey should fake the high ground
of the State Central Committee’.') address, so
admirably illustrated in the letter of Mr. Amos,
JBeiqgs, which we published yesterday, and iu
the letter of Mr. F, C. BREwsTEfy'which we
publish to day. Both of these geutlemeu dis
play good sense and excellent temper. Mr.
Unions declines au office to which he had been
nominated, for tha sake of harmony.,: Mr.
Brewster professes his readiness to decline
an office to which the partiality of his friends
iuviie him, if it will serve the cause. Their
desiie for the triumph of our cause ispita
mount to any personal ambition, and how
ever phasautit might be to serve the State by
holding an office, they serve its best interests
by suppressing any such des re.
We have no preferences in the choice of
candidates to-day, but thero are one or two
suggestions which occur to us, Wc should
have none but good men in nomination. We
want men of character, talent, experience, and
loyalty. Wo want men who are true now—
who have been true irom the beginning. We
want the Conventions also to consult tho ori
ginal sentiments of those composing their
ranks. They must be in truth Union Con
ventions. Thero are thousands who will gladly
suppoit the nominees of their Conventions
if they only meet proper oncouragemunt.
There are thousands who supported the De
mi cratic perty in the last elections—bat who
have boon disgusted by the treachery of the
successful candidates. Their preierences aro
entitled to some rc-pect. They supported
Douglas, and they now support his princ pies.
Place r. preteutdtivo Douglas men on tho t ck
els to be nominated to-day and we pay a com
p’iment to these men which they deserve and
which they will properly appreciate. "Let
them see ihat wo do not forget the energy
with which they fought a corrupt Administra
tion, and tho devotion with which they fight
the rebellious allies of that Administration
now. .
Let our friends remember that they have an
unscrupulous and well organized foe to fight.
We must not underrate the obstacles that sur
round this campaign. Thousands of loyal men
jvre going to the field of battle, and there are
few enough at home to fight the battle at the
ballot box. It will require the utmost caution
on the part of our friends to secure success.
Every interest must be conciliated, every loyal
man roust be invited to co-operate with us,
every element of enthusiasm must be invoked.
Let our politicians lay aside any hopes or
wishes they may have, and so counsel toge
ther that tbe good of the eoiAtry will be
secured. Above all, let good men be chosen.
Let us have men of honor, and integrity, and
standing—let us-have representative men.
There iB a necessity in this which all good
men Bppreciate, and which wo earnestly hope
will be considered by each Convention. We
have a good cause—but it may bB injured by
bad men. Let our Conventions select capable
candidates/and they will be elected—but
should they select men without chiracter—
inert! politicians, or office-seekers—tlieir can
datts will be beaten, as they deserve.

BRIDGE OVER BULL RUN BURNED. ~
WHAT IS SAID IN WASHINGTON.
[Special Correspondence of The Press,]
Alexandria, Va., Aug. 2T, 1881
On tho night of the 26thinstant, the rebels again
attacked our trains at Catlett’s Station, and captured
four of them. Tbe locomotive Bapidan was coupled to
a train at tie lime of thiß last attack, in which s woro
some sick and wounded soldiers. The engineer put On
a full head of steam and escaped with tbe train; but un
fortunately another was standing on the track at the
watering-station, near Manassas Junction, and the re
sult, of course, was a fearful collision in-which cars were
piled up and smashed. Several persons were injnrod
whose names 1 could not learn, .owing to ano
ther’ serious disaster which occurred higher up on
tho road. The bridge at Bull Bun creek had been
partially destroyed, and the engine Prerident was pre
cipitated into the, creek. The rebels had out the tele
graph wires previous to their attack on the trains, so sis to
intercept all aid and communication until tho work of
destruction was completed. I saw the wreck train and
woikmen go out th’s morning to clear the track, and, as
the bridge timbeis are already prepared in Alexandria,
the route will soon he put in operation. AH communication
below Fairfax station is at present interrupted.
This at*ack, like the first, was made by a portion of
General Stuart’s Cavalry, who came on behind onr
tioops as in the former case, and by a proper exorcise
of caution could have been avoided. The doings of our
aimy on Baht-day I here omit, as they will be famished
by another correspondent. Though it may seem very
odd, and no doubt it is, that we should suffer such de
struction of properly under onr very noses, yet such is
the strength. and position of our army at present that
in a few days I hope to be able to. communicate such
news as will throw this piece of annoyance so com
pletely in the shade that'lt will be deemed scarce wor
thy of notice. - H.
[Frsm onr regular Washington Correspondent ]
The city was startled- this morning by the sensation
rumor that the eneiny were at Manassas Junction. On
inquiry it appeared (hat there was some ground for tho
statement, the rebel cavalry having succeeded In tasking
another of its bold dashes on the railroad, but not burn
ing the small bridge as reported, and only destroying
some property and frightening three trains laden with
stores. The cavalry were in quite large force, and pro
bally crossed the Bappabannook during Sunday night,
under con tuanil of General Slu»rt.
[Special Coirespondence of The Press.]
Washington, D. €., August 37,1562.
One of your special correspondents having given you a
compute aid graphic account of too battles along the
liappnhannock up to Friday evening, it will not be my
purpose now to recapitulate the history of those three
days (from Wednesday to Saturday), but merely giro
you a history of the events which occnrred from Satur
fay morning until Tuesday. On Saturday morning the
rebels planted a battery opposite General King’s di.i.
sion, and commenced shelling the woods. 4 Hew Hamp
shire batten and lonr thirti-two pounders rapidly re
plied, when too rebels brought forth another battery,
and opened fire. The cannonading was kept op for two
hours, and was toe most terrific firing I have yet heard.
The shot and shell Hew thick and fast around onr
artillerymen, and both men and horses were killed
or wounded, but still onr men stood te their guns, and
In a short time they completely silenced the rebel bat
teries; and no doubt created great; havoc in their 'ranks.
The infantry in General King’s’ division wore eager to
he engagtd, but the rebel iniautry would not make their
-appearance and give onr boys a show.
The rebels, finding their attempts hera futile, moved
further on towards our right, but hore they met tbe bat
teries of Sigrl, and were again, by the acpura'o and rapid
firing of our guns, forced to retire from within range
of onr pieces. '
Tbe rt hols finding they-could hot cross here or silence
onr batteries, moved several of their batteries to onr
left, at Bappahannock Station, and andtciously
placed them in front of onr fort at this point, and
commenced shelling us. Our batteries promptly
replied, and the cannonading was kept up for several
hours. The rebels also advanced a brigade of infantry
who attempted by a • bold dash to carry toe bridge and
heights by storm, but our troops, mostly composed of
Goionelßartknff’edivision, poured intotbem such deadly
Yokeya of musketry, and two of our batteries suck
sweeping charges of grape and canister, that tbe rebels
became panic, stricken and left the field in a disorganized.,
and d< moralized condition. Tbe sought shelter in tbe
cover of the words, but they did not stay long here, for
our cavalry made a dash* oh them and drove them on to
the main body of tbs rcbola, a mile or two to the right of
tbe railroad. Conscious that the rebels would not again
uiKkean attempt attlils point to cross toe river,' but would
endeavor to do so several miles further up; the order was
given for our troops, who were across the river guarding;
the railroad, to retire. This was done in an orderly
manner, the troops filing across the bridge in splendid
i Btyleand lathe beat possiblesplrits. After all the cavalry
and artillery ant Infantry haiT crossed, the order wag
given to Mow up too bridge, and in less tons than It takes
to note too fact, the match was applied, and the bridge;
. Wbloh hsd been built by us only several weekß before,
: was a mass of ruins. On this side were an immense
? waount,pf commissary and quartermaster stores. .Ail
| itta empty cars .were filled, and what was left was massed
‘together and the match was applied. The amount of
■lores destroyed was not very large,but still it was better
to destroy it than to let it fait into rebel hands.
All tVo troops who wore stationed _ hero wfto moved
towards'tbe right. They bed .not. proceeded over a mile
when tbe twok© of the burning commissary uto res was
viable, and imratdiatfly a'fewexcited ones spread it along
thV Udo* that tbe rebel* had crossed the river pn «mr left,
©bd after burning our stores were marching a farge force
in cur re©**. A« ndjsht naturally be supposed, snob a re
port as tlris would create a great excHemeut ia the ratine
and wtu'd, perhaps, create a panic. But it did noL: al
though the report was generally believitd, there w*i
.scarcely aiwthi who did not prorerv© his eqtitttuuiitv, and
who did not drcl&ie (bat ho would be satiated w th
Tnovemetri. For the prev.tftis three or four days,the fight
jog was confin'd principally to the artillery ou both sufas,
the CoTif<derat*'ft not exposing their infantry, but the
little fight in-tho morning betweou tho infantry had
given our boys a thirst for tbe seme kind.of affair again,
ai d they were perfectly indifferent whether the rebel lu
funtry attacked them in the trout, (Uok, or rua". AU
they wanted was to have a “ show,’ 1 and they did m t
care how soon it came. After the report was contra
dicted otir ircopti were greatly chngriued, bu* file offi
cers comforted them with the assurance that tbev would
have plenty of work to do in a few days After mirch
iog a few miles Genera's McDowril’s, Bank)*’, and Reno's
divifione encamped (or the night, while General digel,
with hie mam force, moved rapidly to tbe viciuity of tho
White Sulphur Springe, six miles from tho town of War
r&ntou.
Strong pickets were thrown out, who wero attacked in
tbe night by the rebels, hut none of our men were
capturtd. Aa morning dawned the rebels were
observed by General Sigel to have crossed the
river in considerable force. lie immodtatoly
brought two batteries into petition and opened fire,
neing 8h»ll and grape and canister* The rebels
also placed several batteries, which replied vigor*
ouely, and for several hours tho cannonading was ter
tifle. Our batteries were placed in naturally strong po
sitions, to an to cover tbe whole country within a mile of
tbe Springs, and our artitios y priict-ce was some of the
boat 1 ever saw. At each discharge of our pieces terrible
gaps were made in the rebel ranks, but they were soon
tilled up. 11 continued thus for at loaat two hours, when
tho rebels, hoping to make a diversion iu their favor on
the right, planted two batteries on our extreme left, and,
in cone< quetce of tho immense amount of Infantry con
gregat'd at tt is point, and who were ou a perfectly level
fio’d, without any protection at all, a large loss of Ufa
vas anticipated by our officers; but General Slovens, of
General Reno’s division* co nmandiug our rear guard,
brought several batteries to bear on the two belonging to
ti e rebels, and in ©bout half an hou.’a time the rebels
had suoh » hot fire concentrated on them that they wore
obliged to leave the field in quicker time than they came
on it. The loss oflife here, on our side, on*y amouuted
to three or four killed and about fifteen wounded.
In tbe meantime the firing bad become more rapid at
tbe Fprhigßonlhe r ght, find j our correspondent hastened
to that point; Battery was replying to battery, aud
even thing was complorely enveloped ia smoke.
Giadnslly the Tchorfire became lets rapid, and it soon
ceased aUogetlier. As scon as tbe smoke had cleared
away the rebels were observed to beretre&ting. General
Sigel sent parting shots after th* m, which ereatfy accele
rated their (light. Our batteries oheliod tbe woods to the
rear of the springs for several minutes, when Genera!
Sigri pmbed bis; pioneers forward for tho'purposea of
bridging the river. They wore preceded by our sharp
shooters. In au incredible short spaco of time the
briege was (brown across, and everything w*g got
iu readineps to cross and pursue tho rebels. It
was now about the middle of tbo afternoon. It
was tererally supposed that th© , rob el 9 would
fight, and our troops were brought up
and everything got in remdiziees tor action. Our batteries
again c to shell tho rebels, and wero replied to
by one battery situated in the margin of Lho woods to
the Uf; of the springs. This battery replied vigorously
for eoo-e time, when our two batteries got its range, and
poured such a cross- firo into it that artillerymen aban
doned (heir guns. and took to tho woods. Every now
and then two or throe of them wou d boldly emerge from
(be woods, and try to fire ofT another round, but our
shell burst eo rapidly around it that they were forced to
desist, aud, if thoy did succeed in firing a loai, they
generaliy peid tbe penalty by losing their life before they
reached tho woods.
The robolc, Bceing that the case was hopelees here,
moved forward to tbe right, with the intension or crosslug
at Waterloo. But here, too, trey werodoornod to dis
ap pt. hum eat. They no suouormude their appearance here
than ilioy were greeti-d by such a etorm of shell aad shot
(hat admonished them that our foccoß wore wide awake
for th«m. This w»b on our right. Oouacious that the
rebels had abandoned the Sulphur Spring, aud
moved their main body to our right, our troopg
were moved in a corroepoDdiog direction, but, before
doing eo, thebtidgoover tbe at the spritg
was burned, so as to prevent «ib rebels from crosdng
and marching on our rear. The river was eo high that
to Sord it was impossible.
Our troops were moved forward a few miles, whore
they encamped for tbo night, and the next morning
(Monday) a further movement was made, but in conse
quence of the ordtr of Generil Halteck I wasadannieh
ed that I had staid within the lines long enough, and
woe, therefore, otdiged to lot th© army go on witbwutac
companymg it. Or its subsequent movement* lam not
conversant, but your readers can rest assured ihat all
goes on smoothly. When your correspondent loft the
rebels had been outgeneraled at every point, aud oar
troops are confident and sanguine of success?
So fur as I cun judge, I do lot think that during the
whole day's fighting I witnessed, our forces lost over 300
killed or wounded. Gen. Bohlen was tho ODly officer
high in r&Dk who fill. He was killed by a rebel sharp
shooter while gallantly cheering on bid brigade, Ha was
an accomplished gentleman aud a bravo Boldier Hli
brigade were devo r edlv attached to him. aud he had a’ao
won the eßteem and ccmfidensa of officers Mgber in rank
than himself. •*: . , s 7
I learn, and my informant is well posted, the rebel
army has or is uudoubredly retreating. They have tried
our hues at all points, aud found them iinorega'AMo.
They bad tbe best general in command, General bee,
together with the bulk of tho Richmond aruiy. From
all the. deserters end prisoners I have convt-rsod with,
they affirm that the rebel army when thuy started felt
confident of bring able to annihilate Pope’s army, and
then march-into Maryland and Washington. ? 'Jackson
has been/etached, and has gone off in another direc
tion. He has probahlj gone to Little Washington, and
thence by turnpike lo Front Boyal, when he can strike
over into the SbenandoahOV'ttlley. .* -r ~-r
Bui all are confident, both in the ■army and here, that
no matter what moves tbe rebel generals may mike, our
authorities are prepared for them at all points, v

if, the ships-of-war of tbe Southern States which have
occasionally sought refuge in friendly ports—have with-
the ocean,....Having thus construed for him
self, with*more ingenuity than solidity, what ho con
siders a favorable platform, Mr. Seward -proceeds to re
mind us that tbe industrial s* stem* of Wester u Europe
and of America are to bo regarded less as distinct na
tional systems then as one general combination of agrl
cnltnralj iccmmercial, and manufacturing asehciOß.
The principle is undoubtedly, true, pbilauthropio, and
truthful; but when we aik for its application, we' are
mfct by protection, dr rather, prohibition, in its nar
rowest 4onn-~b>, laws - framed, not on 5 the princi
ple of; combination,?nor., yet of national rivalry,
bat rather on principles of rigorous exclasibn and
bftter hostility. As far as tariffs go, America is
. already /at war with England,- and all these high
sftcndipg.pbresfß can neither conceal nor extenuafc i. the
;fftCt Jfir. Seward mentions, with what may he very sincere
regref, that the civil war in America has- been injurious
-ito European industry, and draws the very, reasonable
/conclusion ibat it Is for tte interest both of America and
*Ew ope that tbe civil war ebeuld be brought to aclose.
/So far we can go heartily with our. Mentor, but here tbe
divergence begins, for, while America iconaideire tha only
possible conclusion of the vrar lo be the restoration of
usity, Europe- has ■ been ragh enough to think (hat the
can only l»e v ’found fn.the duality, or/ perhaps
vrpmighteayrthe plurality of Stater. This opinion Mr.
fkjward requests European statesmen to review, and we'
cun have no;objection to accede to hie invitation, espe>
cially as, lb addition to other advantages, it offers us a
mdst signal instance of the vanity of hnmin wishes and
tb) unrcundnesß of human expectations.: j? • ’

as things now stand, any idea of intervention wnnid bo
auite absurd ; not, as be argue a because H would use-

the fact that the Irish-American verifies our r J
