FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1862. FROM GLOUCESTER POINT, VA. General Emory’s Brigade. [Correspondence of The Press.] Gloucester Point, Va., Opposite Yorktown, August 26,1862, ,on the march. On Friday, the 15th inst., our division (Peok’s) left Harrison’s Landing to move down the Penin sula, but, after inarching a few miles, we wore stopped, and. ordered back to camp, but instructed to be ready to move at a moment’s notioe, and, ac cordingly, on Saturday we trudged along rapidly all day, 'except when delayed by numberless wagons, which always seem to i encumber our retreats and advances. At night the whole corps (Keyes’) _ encamped in a corn-field, 'which soon vanished before our men and horses, the former devouring the ears, and'the latter the green fodder. It was a fortunate thing that the corn was fit to eat, for, although we were ordered to have four days’ rations, wo were only furnished with two, and.- by the delay in starting, one of these had been consumed prior to tho march. This speoies of management, has been common, however, I am aorry to say, in the quartermaster's department of the Army of the Potomac. On Sunday we moved to and across the great 'Pontoon bridge over the Chiokahominy, through an interminable forest. This march was a hard one, but the men kept up wonderfully, although footsore, hungry, thirsty, and covered with dust, but it was under a promise that we Bhould soon go into camp. There being no indications of this, however, the men began to drop from the ranks by scores, lying down by the roadside from sheer exhaustion, .This continued until General Peok found bis command in all would not make a decent brigade, when he gave orders to encamp for the night. PASSING WILLIAMSBURG. The next day we were again early on the tramp, passing through the onoo beautiful, but now dilapi dated, village of Williamsburg, and on towards Yorktown, near which wo arrived Tuesday, the 19th instant, and encamped, after having been shifted around from place to place, and having several times been sent out on picket duty, where there was i,o enemy to be found or to be expected. CROSSING THE YORK RIVER After the lapse of a few days, we were marohed to a landing on the York river, across which we ferried in canal boats and barges. Wo are now occupying a large earthwork thrown up by the rebels, and which was mounted with heavy naval guns; but on the 4th of July tho news of the retreat of our army caused a panic here, and orders were given to burst these gups, which work was most effectually performed by somebody. 1 IMPORTANCE OP OUR POSITION. - It is very proper that Gloucester should be held by R respectable force and an able general, as at present. Our force is amply sufficient to hold this place at all hazards and against all odds ; and as we are all the veterans ofWilliamsburg, Bottom’s Bridge, peven Pinos, and Malvern Hills, we know our enemy, and are not afraid to meet him . upon the battle-field at any time. ; In addition to this, we have a fine gunboat cruising up and down the river continually. GENERAL EMORY. I am pleased to say that this much-neglected but gallant officer is now in command of this important post. The orders he has issued, the oare he takes of his brigade, and his actions generally,! am eonvinced that he has the head and heart of a true soldier. The men all like him, aid, are enthusiastic in their praises, because they feel confident that no officer in our army is better able to take the place of the gallant and accomplished Naglee than is Brig. Gen. Emory. - THE MEN OP “ OURS” Are in clover now. Their situation is not a bad one; we have abundance of/mosquitos and gnats, but we are often favored with a sea-breeze whioh braces us up wonderfully. Then wo can take an occasional salt-water bath, and eat the best salt oysters in the world, which are furnished by the contrabands at the rate of fifty cents for a hamper basket full. . A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT. The healthful tone of the newspapers in the North indicates that a radical change in the senti ments of the people in regard to the management, of the war is going on. It has long ago taken place in soldiers of the Army of the Potomac. Nothing hut a vigorous aggressive policy is now talked of, and we can all see success in the powerful reinforce ment of the Army of Virginia. The rebels, have determined to make Virginia the battle-ground of the war, and, although Heintzelman may assist by a well-managed flank movement,- merging into a little campaign, the work of the Army of Virginia will be to overthrow the grand concentrated armies or the rebels now operating between Richmond and the Rappahannock. - FILL lIP THE OLD REGIMENTS. Let me beg of the peoplo of the United States that they will make every effort to fill up the old regiments ; they deserve it; do not let these war. worn organizations bo disbanded because their ranks have been thinned by sicknbas and casualties on the battle field. When any news transpires tbSt is not contraband you will hear again from your obedient servant, Holltbush. National .Union Convention—F. Carroll Brewster, Esq. To the Editor of The Press: Sir: The name of this eminent gentleman has been submitted to the Union Convention for nomi nation as City Solicitor. His modest letter in to-day’s Press, neither seeking nor declining the nomination, exhibited excellent taste. The Con vention has aeted well in re-nominating Mayor .Henry and the present efficient District Attorney. Mr. Brewster is one who has never been a party hack, though possessing deeided political views. His high professional reputation, his irreproachable private character, his remarkable accuracy and system in business matters, and his general talent arid urbanity, make up a combination of virtues' which are seldom united in one man. He would certainly make a formidable candidate if nomi nated, and, if the Convention in. its wisdom should select him, he would add strength to the whole ticket, and receive a hearty support from his Umon loving fellow-citizens of the whole city, as well as his more immediate neighbors of the 4). • Twenty-second Ward August 28,1862. Major General George Cadwalader. To the Editor of The Press: " ' ' Sir : Much anxiety has been felt and univeraally expressed by our people in reference to General ■Cadwalader’s taking the field with a, proper com mand. The public mind may now be at rest on that subject. He is at Corinth Mississippi, with a proper command, and occupies the headquarters fate of Sen. Halleck. In certain quarters it was matter of doubt whether he would again enter the'service. With a vast fortune and oxtensive possessions; surrounded by every-inducement to seek retirement from the toils, dangers, and re sponsibilities of command; promoting with his vast resources and active mind many of our most im portant public institutions; and; enjoying the con fidence and respect of all, high, Jotv, rich, and poor; the, latter only,understandinghis position by his unostentatious munificence—few men enjoy, to suoh a great extent, the affections of the people by whom they are surronnded at ,their homes; and no officer enjoyed to a greaterdegree the confidence and high regard of his troops in tho field. Oh his return from Mexico, where be was breveted for distinguished services, the welcome he received from volunteers and citizens, was an ovation not soon to be forgot ten. He has the mantle of three generations 'upon him; his grandfather, Gen. Gadwaladsr, of the Re-- volution, was the eo-laborer, confidant, and friend-; of ‘General,Washington; his father, General Cad walader, of, the war of 1812, like himself, the friend - and companion of General Soott—muoh is expected of our General. We close this notice with a,cha racteristic anecdote. While actively preparing to ' march with his command in the three-months ser vice, a friend entered his headquarters, and with some feeling, said; li General, they have destroyed and burnt your property in Maryland,” (on Max well’s Point; the mansion cost twenty-five thousand dollars, surrounded by nearly as many acres.) He raised bis head, and calmly replied, .« That is.per sonal, and I have no ;time :to attend ito" personal matters.” Much is expected from,General Gadwa lader,- and we feel, .assured none will be disap pointed.’- The services and patriotism of his ancea ; tors, and his own, are the best guarantee he oan give his country for his devotion to its best interests. We hope he will call his friend, Colonel R. M. Lee, a brave and accomplished gentleman, and one of the truest of our Democratic citizens, to serve on his staff. The Colonel was on his staff in Virginia, and did excellent service,' s ; v Ox vis. What nave We Gone! To the Editor of The Press: Sib : The .taunting cry, often heard from home traitors,"that “ the Governineht haive donS'nothing,' and are as far as ever from a conclusion of the' war,” is income danger of finding a lodgment in loyal minds. This is for want of a little wholesome . thought. - Have we done nothing ? : Less than one - year ago, the rebel army menaced our.whole front, , from How Orleansto ,Wasbington. .Their ..booming ; cannon could be heard at Cairo; their treasonable flagflatmted within, sight of our Capitol; their iros-elads menaced our navy, and threatened our, own beautiful city. What is now the state of the esse’ We have driven them from their Western Sebastopol at Columbus, taken Forts Henry and Donelson,with-Some fifteen-thousand prisoners; we have taken.’Nashville and Meinphis, and tapped the cotton tariff; have bagged them at Island No.-lO;. taken New Orleans and Baton -Rouge,-and opened a ready market for their,sugar, -mtdasses,, and tur pentine ; we have found a lodgment, at, Hilton Head asd Beaufort, and are supplying from Sea Island; the fabric with which to make spool-cotton, so. valuable to the world; we hare secured a foot bold in North Carolina; and taken steps towards ''giving' vent to her pent-up loyalty —already she breathes freer; we have driven them fron Manas sas and Harper’s Ferry; and are, at this moment, gathering up our strength for tho final spring at the heart of the vile monster, which has for long yeans bee n conspiring to destroy us as a nation. ; , - The fact is we have done more than could have reasonably been expected of us in so" short a time, when we consider that these determined and reck less oonspirators plotted long and' darkly for this thing; when we remember that, to seoure the suc cess of the vile plot, they wormed themselves into every important Government position below the President, and even used him as a oat’s paw to seoure a successful' hand in the dark game, that they despoiled us of every means of defending our selves, stealing our arms, and even our best com manders, and sending to distant stations our whole navy. But Northern energy has proved itself equal to the task, and today we present to the world a grand and startling spectacle—an army and a navy equal in all respects, and in many important features surpassing those of the great kingdoms of the Old World. The rebels must now yield. The fiat has gone forth. ": A million armed men will soon b s upon them; and, if necessary for their subjugation, an other, and still another- million will spring forth as the Government , demands it. The rebellion must be crushed Doubt is not in the question. We have the power, the means, the will; and though.it be at the expense of an extermination of the whole South, still it must and will be done, as Burely as God liveth. Let ns not despond. We have still a country, and the old flag shall still wave. “ O’er tho land of the free and the home ofthe brave.” Yours, ‘ Faith. FROM THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA. The Rappahannock Abandoned, THE ARMY TEN MILES NEARER WASHINGTON. HOW THE GRAND. BATTLE WAS DELAYED. Another Marvellous Escape of Stonewall Jaebson. [From the N. Y. Tribune J , - -WASHiNOTOtoAugust 26,1862. From an officer of Gen. Pope’s staff, who left head quarters of tha Army of; Virginia this morning, I have one or two facts not without interest. THE RAPPAHANNOCK ABANDONED The .Rappahannock line is. abandoned, and ©ur forces have fallen back to another position ten miles to the rear. Gen.;Pope waß not long In discovering; what' it -may > be presumed the rebels knew alhthe time, that the Rappa hannock, above its junction with the Bapidan, is forda ble in many places where there ace no established and recognized fords. With the river at its ordinary height; therefore, the rebels might have chosen an unguarded point—for along a hue of such extent it is obviensly im possible to defend every point—and crossing by night, might have established a heavy force on the northern bank, entting'in two theline of defence and the co-ope rating forces, and seriously compromising both wings of the Union army. The attack on oar centre at the rail way bridge,” moreover, showed strength of that position bad been overrated, and all circumstances seemed to unite in suggesting that the Rappahannock, which for tbe moment had served its so well, both as a barrier and a alrategic line, had no permanent value as a defensive front. . - OUR PRESENT POSITION, /When the river rose and threatened the safety of the rail war bridge,it was at first reckoned a misfortune, but the delay .which It Interposed to the rebel movements wa's more than a compensating advantage. Profiting by the condition of the stream, which forbade any effort, to cross it'with heavy columns,iniich less with artillery or wagons, Geh. Pope again withdrew his forces in the face of the enemy, and occupied, without serious loss or hindrance, the line on which his army now reposes. At the time of the first retreat the movement would proba bly have been impossible, for only the river could have checked the swiff approach of the rebel columns, enraged by the unexpected escape of their outnumbered, enemy. 'Deliberately adopted now and successfully occupied in force, it may probably be accepted aB the true line of de fence as long as defence is onr policy, and ; thy true base of dffenc'uwhen a forward movement commences. Bull Bun mountains,' extending southwesterly from Leesburg, terminate near Warrenton. i Disc mnectod ridges' guard their western flank at the; southern ex tremity, and the whole chain forms a barrier, impassable except through Thoroughfare Gap. It may be pre sumed that General Pope’s right flank rests near the foot of these, mountains The railway from Warrenton to the Jnnotion follows nearly the general course of the north fork of tbo Rappahannock, and is necessarily within bhr lines, the centre of which might find the Junction" itself a' convenient pivot for strategic ope rations. .Between the railway and Fredericksburg is a stretch of country rather more than twenty miles broad, bounded on the east by the Potomac . Fredericksburg, of course, is retained in our possession, and Acquia Creek, as well as the rest of the Potomac bank* is to be defended. - 'r. ■ . ; If seems to. be considered that the main force of the rebels passed to the west and north of the original centre of our lines on the Rappahannock. The cavalry dash on Catlett’s station by way of Warrenton was only a me teoftc.dfctacbment from the main:force, and probably in dicated, as I have before'suggested, the near presence of. a heavier /forcol / When once, the course of the main columns was ascertained, Gen. Pope drew in his long extended line to meet them, sending Sige! again to the right, from.which he had been withdrawn last Thursday, and collecting for the same purpose the other rather, widely separated corps. With the progress, therefore, of the rebel columns moving on the outer and larger arc of concentric circles, the whole line of Geh Pope swung round to. the right, and changing the direction of its front with rapidity and precision, again awaited the rebel approach. This is the movement which at the outset I described by.'saying"that the army had fallen back. Relatively to the Rappahannock it iB a rearward, march'; b.ut in fact it is a manoauvre rather than a movement; and consists simply In keeping the face of the army turned Steadily toward the rebels. . , / HOW THE GRAND BATTLE WAS PREVENTED. But for the rise of the Rappahannock, a battle weuld have been fought last week between the two armies. Jackson, leading the advance as before, crossed the river with his corps, and the rest.of the army waa to have fol lowed. Once over, it would have had no /choice but to fight, and if beaten conld have escaped annihilation only by surrender, for the swollen river-in its rear barred all retreat. It may be presumed that the rebels were well aware of the reinforcements rapidly sent forward to Pope. It would be difficult to say what faofc /important to the campaign they may not be presumed to be aware of. They had, therefore, the elleraatives of immediate battle or. retreat. Compelled to defer their attack, they are. al ready retreating, but whether only from their first posi tion or in search of a defensive line may be still a ques tion. " ALL QUIET NOW. There has.been no fighting of consequenco since the date of your last letters from the army. The news from headquarters is simply that all is quiet, and all prospects favorable. What the Shenandoah'may bring forth is, perhaps, a question not. to .be ÜBked. without anxiety; but the answer mußt be speculative purely, and I forbear. .There 1 is some doubt how completely the rebels have possessed themselves of Gen. Pope’s papers by the dash at Catlett’s. Bis adjutant general’s desk is said to have been untouched, .while his private trunks ware brokta open—rathor an unlikely story. It is certain that all papers were in the wagons, and that ths rebels had access to:every thing unless what they overlooked. Oapt. O. N. Geulding, assistant quartermaster, who was captured that night, held at Gen. Pope’s headquarters a place ef great responsibility and difficulty, not easily filled iu his absence. He was chief quartermaster in the field nnder Gen. Fremont, and during the arduous administration of the mountaindepartmentacqnired a very high reputation for ability and integrity. Probably he might have escaped if his first Ibought-had been for his own safety, but his first care waß for the property in Ms charge. GENERAL LEE’S PLANS Alexandria. Ya . August 26, 1862 —Mr. Lincoln said' during the existence of the’Department of the Kappi hannock, that a heavy dewcauaod a freshet in the rivers of Virginia. The smart thunder shower of last Friday evening probably delayed agreat battle on the north side of the Rappahannock. From prisoners taken in the late skirmishes; and from many other sources, I have learned that it was the intention of General Lee to cross his en tire army dming Friday night and the day following, and attack General Pope before the reinforcements from Mc- OlelianV army, arrived upon, the ground. Before the Army or Virginia made its masterly retreat before the eyes of the whole rebel horde, it was Supposed that the Rappahannock could be passed at'only six or Seven dif ferent points, bnt it soon became evident that the entire stream from five miles above Warrenton Springs to the main body of the river was'one grand ford, and that the j rebel army coald’almoaf march up to its banks ih line of'' battle, and walk on the bed of the river dry shod. The old fords of long standing were, closely watched and strongly guarded, but to the surpriseof our generals, rebel skirmishing parties were discovered crossing at Mints supposed to be; impassable, compelling ns to shift oiir ground constantly to prevent being outflanked.' The dash of the rebel General Stuart was put, a- preliminary skirmish' in part to pay off General Pope for some of his Westernraids; and also to conceal the more extensive movements of Jackson. HOW JACKSON NARROWLY ESCAPED BY “ TAKING TO TBE BUSHES.” During tbe night, while Stuart was fumbling in the tranks of General Pope, and obtaining; clean linen enough to. last, through the season, Jackson crossed his whole corps at half a dozen. points above Warrenton Springs. Jackson, according to the,prpgramme, /was to engage the right.of General Pope, draw off his. attention if possible from his left and centre, so as to give the main body or the rehel army an opportunity to cross at other fords than those guarded by us, and then when safely over take the risk of the most desperate conflict of the war. The programme succeeded so far as Jackson was concerned He crossed • the river. Stuart performed his part well, and both; rebel and national army are to-day enjoying the practical joke he played off upon General Pope. But Providence in this instance seemed to be upon our side. A heavy black oloud roke in the wept, and at about midnight bnrst in a fnrious storm on both armies. It was too dark to see the fords, evenif they could have been passed The storm continued all night. In the worning the river had become impassable. General Lee could not pass, and Jackson was alone on this eideof the stream. General Pops could not learn tbe exact strength of Jackson. and did not feel strong enough to engage the whole army; therefore he did not take the offensive. Jackson, iearning.thaf General Lee could not reinforce'him; kept dose to the river and the bushes, and as the.river fell reorosaed it and joined the main body of the army,. Bnt for this thunder-storm, the greatest battle of the war would have been fouglrt before this, and God alene knowß with whom would have been the victory. OUR ARMY AGAIN'ON THE OFFENSIVE. ' The day following, the Army of Virginia fell back from the line of the Rappahannock, and invited’the enemy to cross, but he politely declined the invitation.' To-day yonr correspond ent.nnderstands the National army again assumes the 1 offensive, to abandon forever, it is to be hoped, its “lines of retreat.”' • -—^ reception of stuart’s cavalry at warrenton. Persons who were attached to the staff of General Pope, and who were taken prieoners by'Stuart, in his last raid, but who escaped at Warrenton, say that the joy manifested by the citizens ;of JWarrenton' upon the return of Stuart’s Cavalry .with their trophies; exceeded,; .all. bounds The population of the village turned out, tn masse. ladles ran up to the Boldiers and ,embraced them,' although many of them were entire strangers. The only bell left in the village rang but loud and’clear, and bier dal its music with the cheera of the thronging vil lagers. , ... ~ - A burly negro, dressed In General Pope’s best uniform, with, the-stars of the major general glittering upon his shoulders,,and mounted,open General Pope’B beßt-horse, rede in front of Stuart, as his famous cavalry brigade marched through the streetß. -The negro seemed embar rassed,’ and hardly knew .what to lmeke: of-it ;,; but'the multitude; enjoyed* that part :of the' spectacle hugely. Some one' in' the throng, however,'was hot disposed to treat the new major general with the respect due to his s Tank, As the cavalcade was 'about ’disappearing down the road leading to Sperryvilte, the contents or two or three higblyrperfnmed eggs splashed on the fine doth of Cuffee, aud soon led hlm to discover that, instead ot being an object,of respect,' he was one of the, grossest ridicule. Captaln Goulding, the popular-and effleient guarter master of General Pope, was the' only officer present to support the.dignlty of hit major general. But, notwith standing his assertions, that ho was a quartermaster and ■ fairly entitled-to ride upon a good, horse, he was com pelled to walk through the dust,.aud act M groom to ; the, Bable gentleman riding by his side. The staff houses of General Pope : were decked by the ladles of Warrenton with rebel colors, taken frem their bonnets and aprons, and suddenly Improvised into rosettes. The prettiest 1 darkey boys led them, and not a rebel soldier was allowed to touch their backß until the fair rebels had breathed a ' prayer ttati-Tahkee staff officers wouldjiever agaln rlde them Into battle. ■ ■■ VERT LATE FROM THE SOUTH. BEBBL ACCOUNTS OF POPE'S BETBEAT. The Rebels Hope to "Winter at Oentreviile Again. THE IDEA OF ATTACKING WASHIHGTOH ABMDOffED. REBEL MOVEMENTS IN TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY. Professed Ignorance of McClellan’s Position. Our Troops Surprised at St. Helena Island. GENS, HUNTER AND PHELPS LIABLE TO [EXECUTION AS FELONS. DOINGS OF THE REBEL CONGRESS. The rebel version of tho recent military movements on the Rappahannock is as follows ; The rebels regard the whole affair as a decided suecetoand as a great triumph of Gen, Leo over Pope. They Hay that, after defeating McClellan, and compelling him to evacuate the peninsola, Geni Lee has now defeated Pope, and compelled him to retreat to.lhe shelter of .the forts at Washington, and that thus the ;■ Unionists have been foiled in both of their at tempts to reach Richmond—the one by way of the penln euia, the other by way of Onlpeper. Their account states that on the 18th instant Gen. Lee crossed tbe Ra pid an with a strong detaohment of his army, consisting entirely of cavalry and artillery, and advanood rapidly towards Onlpeper, followed by large bodies of infantry, and indeed by his whole army. During the ensuing six day? Gen. Poperetreated slowly towards Oentreviile. Gen., Lee'pressed him close, and battles took place whenever the Unionists made a stand, i On the 19thV a aBT ere engagement took place near the village of Brandy, four miles south of the Rappahannock, with heavy loss on both sides , The. Union army crossed the Rappahannock on tbe2otb, in great disorder mid haste, while the rebel . artilhry Was firing on those brigades which were pro tecting the passage of the main body. Two whole divi sions of the Union army cresßed under a galling fire, and, suffered heavily; On the 21st a portion of Gen. Lee’s army, including several squadrons of csvalryand a num ber of batteries of artillery, crossed the Rappahannock, and engaged' the' Unionists'at three different points. These actions were fall very severe, and resulted in the retreat ofthe Unionists. At Wairrenton, also, a very hard battle- was fought, at the close or which the .Unionists retreated in. disorder, leaving their ar tillery and their dead and wounded on the field This account states positively that the reb.l army occupies, in force, both sides of the Rappa hannock, and that Genera! Pope had retreated to Ma nassas Junction On Sunday, August 24, the main body of bis army-was said to be at that point, white General McClellan was moving up from Acquia Greek towards the Occcquan*. Itjwas.supposed to be Pope’s intention to cross Bull Bon, so as to place that stream and the Occo qnan between his army and the rebels, aiid to fortify the heights of Oentreviile. General, Lee ;w*s watching his movemontß closely, with tquadrons of cavalry, but had not pursued beyond the left bank of the Rappahannock. The rebel leaders believe that, , with such a force as is now concentrated for its defence, Washington is entirely beyond their reach. - They will probably advance on Oen treyille, and attack General Pope there, with the view of trying to get the same positions for their army near Washington as they held last winter. But aßfor attack ing tbe capital itself, that idea they have been forced te abandon., v „ : . .-■ The Richmond Whig of the 23d inst, in an editorial headed “Where is McOiellah7” asks , Who can answer this interrogatory ? Can the Govern ment or Gen. Ley? We hope they can. We cannot, nor con tbe public. ' It is known that-McClellan has again “ changed his - base by a Hank movement.” In this case, as in that of the ■ Chiokahominy, the change was effected without the timely knowledge of those who were set to watch him. At Berkelevijas iat the White House, large quantities of valuable military prepi rty were destroyed by the fugitive general. The devouring fiames from his own camps served to light him on bis retreat from the Confederate capital. But where has he gone, and why did he aban don Ms James river base ? He took up the line of march in the direction of Williamsburg and Fortress Monroe ; bat whether he is still on the peninsula, or has gone up to Fredericksburg or A quia Creek, it -were impossible yet to say. If Fredericksburg was his destinatioo, and he went by water, he mnßt have arrived there some days ago. If ho took tho land route, he is probably still on the road. Pope occupies the line of the Rappahannock in the di rection of Culpeper Court House. McClellan (supposing he has arrived there) and Burnside hold Fredericksburg and the lower Rappahannock. The two. Tankee armies are thus near enough to each to hear our artillery, should we attack either, and.near enough.to support each other in the event of’ a protracted struggle. If we should /drive Popeback, outright flank would be exposed to at tack by McOielian and Burnside. Sbonldwe give battlo to the latter, they would have a river and their gunboats -to foil back behind,while. Pope, might move down upon onr left flank. '/These statements will be made evident by a glance at'the'map'and the positions of the enemy . 'V Whether McClellan abandoned' Berkeley to go to the assistance of Pope, or because' of the manifest folly of any attempt to move upon Richmond from that base, or on account of the nnhealthfulness of the locality, he and his Government alone'can tell. But, whatever the im pelling cause may have been, we attach but little im portance to the idea that an advance will be attempted upon this city from the lines of the Rappahannock. If the Federal armies can maintain their present position,' and thus insure the safety of their capital, they will probably be content. To this end their present lines are well chosen. . General Lee might • d«liver battle either upon the right dr left of their position, but, if success ful, would it be safe to follow up the advantage without first disposing of the other wing ? ' o That the Confederate commander and his brave legions are equal to the emergency, we have not the least doubt. Ouronlyobject in alluding to this subject is to give the reader some ideas of the difficulties of the position and of the magnitude of the work before us. GENERAL POPE’S RETIREMENT. Speak fog of the retirement of General Pope, the Rich mond Wlng : says: “ If. he continues his retreat,-the fight will be postponed for several days, unless our men can succeed in overtaking him. That he will be driven to the wall now we have no doubt; and we have as little doubt of the result of the fight, begin when it may. SKIRMISH ON THE RAPIDAN/ A skirmish took place on Wednesday, 1 near Raccoon Ford.

If is un derstood that the general features of the campaign will be as follows: To concentrate at Knoxville and at Chat tanooga alt the treops not required for service elsewhere, or, in other words, about 150,000 troops at each place. To take possession, fiißt, of Nashville, Fort Henry, Fort Doneison, and Corinth, and to attack and defeat or expel General BneU’s forces on the line of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, and thus regain possession of Ten nessee/ To advance then into Kentucky in two columns— one by way of the Cumberland Gap, Barbourßvilie, Louden, Richmond, and Lexington, the other by way. of the valley of the SequatcMe river, in/the direction of Glasgow; Bowling Green and Mumfordsville. Each one of these columns is to be 160,000 Btrong. The liltlmate (present) destination of the first is Cincinnati; of the .other, Louisville. The rebel forces, at present In Tennessee and Ken tucky, are as followß : At Chattanooga, and between that point and Knoxville, on the railroad, and capable of almost instant concentration, there are 98,000 treops, the best in the rebel army, under General Bragg, whose headquarters are at Chattanoogo. At Knoxville and vicinity, there are .32,000. General Kirby Smith; has 20,000. near the/.Cumberland Gap, and/on the road be tween Knoxvilleand that point. At Decatur, at Clarks ville, at Gallatin; at Harteville; and' at Murfreesboro there are various bodies cf troops, amounting to 50,000 This makes 200,000 men in arms. It is underatoodin Richmond,.that as soon.as 60,000 of the troops that started with General Jackson for Winchester and Lees burg shall have returned to Staunton, they will be in stantly sent by raiiroad to Knoxville. With the fortifi cations around Richmond; and those that the rebeta are now erecting on the right; bank of the Rappahannock, they consider their ,Capital -impregnable.,They can therefore, if they have abandoned their designs oh Wash ington; well spare these 50,000 troops for service in Ken tucky, and;indeed; they may send more; but that is al that Beauregard counts on now. These, with 50,009 new conscripts, which bo has raised sin the Southwestern States, which are now in campß of instruction drilling, and/wbich will he ready for service by the time the rein forcements from Richmond arrive, will give Beauregard his3oo,ooomen. . ....... While thus preparing for the military operations of the Western esmpaign, the rebel leaders are not unmindful of/the necessity of preparing for the subsistence of their armies during the winter. On this point also very er roneous views prevail at the North., It has been re peatedly stated that the crops of the South have been short, and that most olthem have been deatroyei by the armies on both sides. The grain crops throughout the entire; South are larger than ever before, and have been gathered and secured in excellent order. The proportion, of grain destroyed is scarcely, felt in the great aggregate- Discarding/cotton thiß year, the Southern people have devoted ’their entire attention’ to the/ raising of wheat, corn, and oats, and with entire success so far. In parts: of Tennessee, particularly, the wheat and oats are entirely /secured. So far..as cattle and hogs are concerned, there is, as always, ahnndahee of both. A member of the rebel ‘ Congress; from Texas; now in Richmond, says that, com ing/fronq a cattle raising State, (a State which has raised this year enbhgfi cattle to supply the whole Confederacy with beef, )he was surprised to see the immense herds, of cat tle in Georgia and Kentucky; bdtU'ofwhich'States he visit/ ed on his way to Richmond. He learned, too, in Kentucky, that the bbgcrop of that State and .Tennessee was felly' as large as ever this year. The rebel arinios, therefore; will be at no loss for; subsistenoeffor a year/to come; So for as ! regards .the .articleof salt (whlch ; heretofore the .rebels /have needed more than gunpowder,"so scarce has it been),‘immense quantities have been received at Khox vl le, Chattanooga, and Atlanta, via Georgia, both from Ohio and from Memphis.. That , which ; comas from Ohio and Indians' is smuggled across the Ohio river, .and.wa yoned /along, the roads that ran south into Tennessee. That which comes from'Memphis comes from rebel traders there who profess/to; be Unionists, and to whom licenses to trade have been given.

LETCHBR, WAereas, It is represented by many citizens of this State that it is impossible to obtain supplies of the ne cessary article of salt, except at fabulous prices, and even then not in sufficient quantities to supply the de mand 5 and a portioirof: the salt works of this Common- from which a large quantity of salt was derived, being in the possession of the public enemy, and the re maining works being owned by private persons and car ried on by. private enterprise, are insufficient to furnish, the amount necessary for the consumption of our own people, and yet a large proportion of the. annual product of tue works is continually exported into the neighboring States.- And whereas, The importation or foreign *alt lisa been presented by the blockade of our porta, and it is not probable that, the demand can be supplied from that ' Source : andthe season : is.rapidly .advancing ,when it will be necessary to salt np meats for the en suing year; to provide onr armies and people with .suitable provision and the, Legislature " having made: no appropriation of money to purchase or to manu facture this essential: article, or to provide a‘remedy.' Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in the Executive by the Gonstituiion, I, John- Letcher, Go vernor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, do hereby con vene the General Assembly, to take the subject into con sideration, and to legislate further for the interest of the Commonwealth, as they may deem proper, hereby pro claiming, to the Senators and.Belegates of the General •Assembly that they are required to assemble at the Capi tol, in the city of Bichmond, on the 16th day of Septem ber next, at 12o’clock, ' Given under my hand, as Gevernor, and under the seal of the Oommonweallh, at Bichmond, this 19 th day of Au gust. in the year 1862, and in the eighty-seventh year of the Commonwealth. y [I- s-] JOHN LBTOHKE. By the Governor: Geougb W. Munvord, Secretary of the Commonwealth. THE DUTY OP COXGRESS. The grand army which besieged Bichmond has, by the masterly strategy of Lee, been driven from its position, and only escaped capture or annihilation by the failure in the execution ■of details by subordinate commanders. It has changed its base ; but it Is still intent on the ob ject forwhich it was;:organized—the capture df Bich mond. It is to he reinforced by six hundred thousand men. To meet this new array is the first duty of Con-’ gross.- The enlargement of, the conscription is the obvi ous remedy; hot with the view of bringing into the field' as many as the Yankees; that is not possible; ner if it weie would it he;politic. and wise. Knough men must be left at home to preducefood to support the army. Those under eighteen are, as a general rule, too tender to endure the hardships of camp life; and; as was very well said by Mr. Davis last year, to call them out would be like grinding seed corn. Those; between thirty-five and forty-five are as vigorous and able-bodied as at any age ; and if the proper energy is employed after they are enlisted, Wrli . constitute an ample force to . meet all the powers of the North. Of the six hundred thousand now Yankee levies, not one from east of Ohio knows how ,to load a gun or'ride a horse, and six or eight months wiil.be necessary for.them to learn those indis pensable qualifications for war. In the meantime they will be food for panics. Every Southern : man and boy can ride and shoot,and have only ‘to learn one ®r two words of command, and a few simnle movements, to be as good Boldlers as - twenty years? drilling: oouid make them. This superiority of our population.was strangely over looked last year, when we'Suffered'the finest army ever assembled to rot at Manassas, and gave the enemy time to drill their new levies. If we pursue the same policy again, we shall again Bnffer. But if‘Congress will ex lend the conscription, so as to embrace all between eighteen end forty-five, and if the war is then pushed—pushed at once into the enemy’s country—the new: levies of the 1 ankees will avail them nothing; but, on the contrary, being little better than a rabble ront, will prove an in valuable aid. to our advancing columns! It, in, addition, Congress .Could infuse a iitHe of the ardor of the country.into tho President, and persuade .him-to disencumber the Departments of. some of the Yankees. and. Jews with: which they. are-infested, we might look forward |o better results at no . distant day. That there fire traitors and spies in the Departments, no one dr.tibia. General Lee, to delude them, in planning Ms atiack upon McClellan, on the Ohickahominy, had to resort to,the extraordinary expedient of Bending 12,000 men to Jackson, by way of Lynchburg and Charlottes ville, as though Washington were the object aimed at. Tho ruse succeeded McClellan was instantly informed of the movement, and -Lincoln made it the ground for re- Insing to send any more troops to the Peninsula- The sametraitors are stfll in Bichmond and in office: at least we have not : heard of any of them being removed. " The city of Washington itself must: be annihilated: There can he no peace uniil that nest of Yankees and traitors is exterminated. It is a bar to any satisfactory Intervention by foreign Powers, and would forever con stitute ajbone of contention in the event of a temporary adjustment. The fare of Carthage must be that of Wash ington. Let “ Stonewall ’’-have one lick at it, and we shaUhavono more trouble from that quarter. FROM THE SOUTHWEST, Gcneral-B neirsArmy, [Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.] Btevbkson, Alabama, August 18.—Prom a source en titled to entire confidence, I learn that the rebel forces now lying on the other side of the Tennessee, scattered from Battle Creek to Chattanooga, number not less than fifty thousand men. They have, in addition, a goodsup ply of artillery mounted and posted in commanding posi tions all along the way, so favorable to them naturally as to make the route “ a hard road to-travei” for the Union army, even with a force greatly, superior in numbers. I learn also that their forces are under the command of the rebel: Bragg, and that: he proposes to attack us at Battle creek, by putting a large force in our. rear, and: advancing on our front lines; while, at the same' time, their artillery is brought to bear upon us from the oppo site side of the river. And, this atsaok is not to be long, deferred, indeed it may occur almost any day. . It is not proper to state hero what our means of de fence are, or how well prepared we are to march on to Chattanooga. . Alas, we are: not in Chattanooga, but the rebels, are. We do not occupy those important gateways leading to the supply fields of : Tennessee and Kentucky,' but: the rebels do. We hear, to be sure, that Government in tends to adopt' a stern; warlike, aggressive policy, but it is hot seen in any order; issningfrom the headquarters of the Army of the Ohio. ,We, read the ..confiscation act, .and find that" it provides, ithaer certain circumstances, for weakening the: power of rebels* by making their slaves free; but no order comes to enforctfthe law. To bo sure; contrabands come into our lines, some by their own choice, and some.under orders of our.officers, and work on bur fortifications, but in the absence of. any orders calculated to secure protection aiid freedom to those who by the plain terms of the confiscation act.and; orders: from the War Department are entitled thereto. When the work is done upon which they are engaged; they are sent back to their claimants? plantations, many, of whom are in the Confederate army.

Indians appeared about three-fourths of a mile north of the barracks, evidently*. .with the intentibh of drawing ont the entire force while the main body were to dash ' upon the'barracks, from .the .* . east, where they were approaching nnder cover of woods and ravines In thlsway, after driving.in : onr, pickets, they were enabled to”approaeh to within musket shot, . BtillJ under cover of ’trees and. outbuildings. ' At, this . point they opened a,volley upon a detachment of Com pany B, stationed at one of the north entrances, bnt v without serious effect. ; * It was hut the work of a moment for Lieutenant 1 Sheer ". ban to bring his company to bear upon them from,one of - the southern entrances, the smoke of which had-hardly cleared away wheD one of the 6-pound mountain howit rers, under the direction of Sergeant -Jones,' sent-. into _ their midst a shell that must have, done glorious.execn- ... lion. The fire of : the 1 enemy then became scattered and promiscuous, all sides of tho barracks appearing, to ba infested, and every secret.hiding place having its wily foes. After throwing a few ahelisV Sergeant Jones' took .: command of a 6-ponnd . cannon, and Sergeants Me?

Sheehan was everywhere present, cheering on the -brave and .■ stoni-hearted, and encouraging the few .wavering; Con sidering the responsibility of his position, ho was, per-. : hap?, too reckless of his -personal safety. Time after time, as. he passed, from postto post giving directions to the men, whole, volleys of musketry warn-discharged , upon him, and the ballets went whizzing over and about him like hailstoneß. His coolness. inspired all. with courage, however, and-we thank God thafc.ha is yet.un- ... harmed. ~ , In this way the fight was continued until dark,,with an almost continuons discharge of mußketny. and artillery: As to the strength apd lossof the enemy alt is conjecture.. Picket guards and scouts estimate the number lurking , about at one thousand. Of the correctness of , this esti mate lhave no moans of judging, except that tho enemy was In strong force, and made the attack with courage and determination. A number of citizens’ buildings surrounding the bar racks were fired by the enemy, but none of the Govern-, ment buildings were burned, Here was, one of our great- . nt dangers, but a' timely rain, which*,continued' during , the night, andthe vigilance of'the guards, prevented-.
