SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1862. THE WAR. ' Tbe Army of Virginia bus boon beard from officially' The despatch ofGon. Pope to Gon. Balleoki which we publish to-day, will s*ati3fy„the most incredulous that what, we said yesterday was true in eyery .particular; . Many personß were Very uneasy, because tho rebels had 'advanced so near Washington, and that there appeared to be no Federal foroe in plaoe to oppose them; but the very fact that this’was - the base, would indicate that the admission -of the rebels to Fairfax 1 Court House- and its vioinity was only one branch of the plan of our generals for the capture •Of the,rebel aimy, and in doing this prevent any inroad into Maryland, by which movement, should it be successful, ho ooutd only hope to capture Washington. People seem to forgot that our national capital is a hard point to take as at present fortified and garrisoned, and Jackson is too crafty and cautious a leader to risk the destruction of Ms army suddenly by an attack upon Washing ton in front. Ho determined to take a new route to got into Maryland, one which he thought would not be oloaely observed by our generals and guard ed. He came from Strasburg via the Orange and Alexandria railroad, and taking possession of Md nassss Junction he moved to Oenfreville, and then to the. left on the road to Leesburg, throwing out a light brigade of cavalry and artillery to Fairfax Court House as a precautionary recon noitring movement. His design was evidently to strike the Alexandria and Loudon Railroad, above L-esburg, cross tho Potomac, and enter Maryland, where he hoped, even should his supplies and com munication be cut off. the traitors there would flook to his standord'andfurnish him with ample “ forage’,’ to enable him to move upon and oooupy the Relay Houbb, which dono, the Federal capital’WiyritLsoon pe 'MB' prise.' —Wit■"“'S’obbwaU ” Jaokson . was doomed to a most humiliating and disheartonibg disappointment this time. Upon reaching Cen trevillo, “the man for the crisis” found him self attaoked in the flank by Sigoi and Mc- Dowell, os well as by Hooker. And, whether he was aware of it or not, General Heintzlo manwas actually in Juckson',s rear, with; a heavy force constantly augmenting, while Genera MoClellan Was taking oare of th- forts about Wash ington, sending forward reinforcemouts. keeping open Communication, and guarding all the avenues of the enemy’s advance from Warrenton to Aoquia Creek. Our military authorities had not only made all 'of these arrangements to ensure'sucooss, bat had thrown a very strong force in- and around Baltimore, at the Relay, Annapolis Junction, and along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio, railroad, evincing thereby a proper appreciation of the fact that it is necessary, when Washington is threatened, to ennoontrate a; powerful reserve at and beyond the Monumentai CXty. ?he news pro mulgated in General Pope’s despatch is of a most oheering character, as is that given us to day by Our speblal correspondent at Alexandria, and there, can be no doubt that we shall hear of a disaster to the rebel now, operating east of the Blue Ridge in a day or two. Our forces, will then ad vanoe to victory ow many fields. In our sucooss the .rebel leaders will lose a prestige worth to their cause the.strength of a considerable army. In all of . this we, see plainly that, though our loss may bo considerable, our victory will be decisive" and satisfactory, whether it oousials in the total annihilation or the capture of the rebel ertoy ,in Virginia. Already General Pope men- ' tionsyin .bis despatch, which is hopeful and en couraging, some ef the tangible proofs of victory in oer&in impbrtant captures made. Better than all, We have tho assurance that our men will not only .' fight like veterans, but that our generalß in plan ning and executing movements with large and ; unwieldy armies, can rival the- greatest generals of Europe, and successfully frustrate the* designs of' the rebel leaders, who, though the moat.despioabla traitors, possess remarkable military ability. THE NEWS, • A of the' London American, ■writing from Frank fort-on-tho-Main, gives the fol lowing extract of a letter from Charlotte Cushman, itt reference to our war: I! I only wish to Heaveo l could go and bo Of some service at suah a time as this in the United States. I hate the inoompetoncy Of womanhood. .As a man. I ooutd give my brains, my speech, my life,'if necessary; as a woman, I can only wait the course of human events. Hojv sad to be obliged to wait, and that, too, at a time when there appears to be so much heart-aiokeniog in the land!” . ■ ■ - y A citizen of Anne Arundel county, Md., has written to the War Department to know if magis trates, constables, justices, and sheriffs are exempt from draft, and has reoeived the following answer: War Dbpabthknt, Washington Citt,.

Tuttle’s comet is now plainly seen on every clear evening in the northern heavens, last eve ning its tail could bo traced by the naked eye full ten degrees from the nucleus. The comet will at tain the greatest brilliancy in a few days, and all those desirous of seeing it should at once look out into the starry skies just above the stars forming the handle of the “ Dipper,”,where it may now be seen', ’The present comet is not to be confounded with Tuttle’s thirteen-year comet in the list, which is another one altogether. Whether, the present one is periodical or not has not yet been deter mined. Brorsen’s comet is now expected, but the position it will have is not favorable for .its being well seen. ■ Tub Great Eastern, which arrived in Flushing Bay on: Wednesday morning from Liverpool, brought fourteen hundred passengers (five hun dred and sixty .one in the steerage) and three thou sand Jons of merchandise. ' We have authentic information that it has been resolved by the Government to prevent the oircuta tidn in the District of Columbia, after the 20th day of-Septrmber next, of all bank notes of less de domi nation then five dollars ; also, the issuing and cir culation of bills, of whatever denomination, pro deeding from unauthorized persons or associations; arid that to this cbd instructions will be given to the.proper offiocrsrigidly to enforce, after that day, the penal laws against the practices in question. gJ?JtOM.copies of late Southern papers reoeived via Cairo we have some highly interesting and spicy rebel nows The Southern journals advocate immediate invasion of the Northern States. Gen, GrkknClay Smith has been, for several weeks past, engaged in severely punishing the gue rillas in Kentucky, and has whipped them badly in six engagements. If we go bn iu this good work, we shall soon restore peace and happiness to the ci tizens of Kentucky and Tennessee. The latest advices from Gen; Buell's army place him near Stevenson, Alabama, moving towards Knoxville. As our armiee in the South west are all on lho movo.'"we im»j- l wi...-, s&oll news, even though it be exciting. A becbuitino tent, in Net? York, has this motto, « Come in out of the Draft.” It is presumed that those who do not enlist now are out in the cold.” Fbom the Southwest we learn that important ex peditions have been sent up the Yssoo and St. Francis rivets, m.d other important movementa'are mentioned. The news is more encouraging. Consolidating the Regiments, The arrival of the distinguished Adjutant General of tbo United States, last evening, for the purpose of consolidating the incom plete or fragmentary regiments in this and other quarters, will undoubtedly disarrange the aspirations of some of the emulous officers of these organizations. But the action of the Government is right, and will be sustained by the people. The Govern ment wants troops at once, not simply to crush the gigantic armies of the traitors, but to place Washington City in. a position of' perfect safety, and to protect all the lines ot railroad .leading to it. It cannot afford to wait a day, -in order that colonels, lieutenant colonels, and' officers my arrange regimental -matters te suit themselves. Gen. Thomas is a ! praot'cal and impartial officer, and will do his .duty first lo the country, and with as little hard ship as possible to those who may desire tore tain valuable positions in tha public service. In : this emergency, personal interest and personal ambition must not be allowed to stand in the ■way of the vigorous preparations of our mili jtary and civil representatives. Treason in Delaware. Tho loyal men'of Delaware have been em barrassed from the commencement of the war by the Secessionists in their midst. These latter were known to bo ready to carry tha State out of the Union at the earliest moment, and nothing but the vigilance of the friends of the Government* and the energy of the Go vernment itself, prevented the success of this plot. The Governor of Delaware, who has been.' distrusted from the first, having bsen chosen by the Breckinridge Democracy, 'seems; At last to have fallen entirely into the hands’ of the Secession leaders, and the indig nation meeting at Wilmington, last night, was called to expose and counteract his unjust and partial system of drafting. Tho regimeats already sent trom Delaware are composed in the main of lojral men, and it would seem that the Governor is anxious to rescue his parti- sans from all service in the army. This is a case that demands instant and determined action. If Governor Barton, of Delaware, is resolved to reject the example of the glorious Hicks, of Maryland, let"theT-ma of the infa mmisMAGOPPiK, of Kentncky, bo his. Let the Federal authorities check his plans, and then the people will force him to do right or to resign. «"VVe must be brief when traitors take tho field.” Garibaldi, The uncertainty which hangs ovor Gari baldi's expedliion to Sicily, with the avotvad puipose of raising an army to lead against Rome, renders speculations as to his chances of success extremely doubtful. All accounts concurin' declaring his popularity in Sicily, but there is an apprehension that he will be prevented from crossing over to Naples, w hence he had resolved to march right on to Rome. Shwold he really attack the Eternal City, ho must come into conflict with the French troops by which it is garrisoned. Al rvndy'Austtia is strengthening her great army in Vcneiia. It is true that,' at the instance of Ratazzi, his prime minister, Victor’Emma nuel has fulminated a'proclamation against Gais n; At.T'i, hot Ricasox.l, . the preceding pre mier, has “peniy avowed bis. sympathy with the movement, and Ricasoli may return to office to-morrow;* At; the bottom of all this uncertainty lies a distrust of Victor Emmanuel. People imagine that, as in 1860, be may directly approve of, while, for the moment, he publicly condemns Garib.u.tk’s aggressive plans. It is said that tho Italian cabinet has sent a diplomatic circular to the leading European'Powers, declaring its doler ..minution ,to-maWi.iieriaws‘'ancrestabtished au thorities respected,..hut also pointing out the danger of a prolonged occupation of Romo by the French troops.. It is curious that, white the Emperor of the French has incurred so mnch odium and gone to so much expense to maintain Rome as the scat of the Papacy, the Executive tbere.prohibits the use of his name. Napoleon .OaciuNn, director of a theatre in Rome, has .been ordered by the police to drop his Christian namo, and has changed it into Hannibal. Among the dramatic company of another theatre is one called Napoleon Co ldmmno, who has been.directed to call him sell G iovanni Coltjmbino. This proscription ofansme is a very petty policy—so absurd as to be ridiculous. . LETTER PROM “ OCCASIONAL.” Washington, August 29, 1862. The sound of contending cannon is again heard in tho capital of the nation. By the curious process of war, we have once more bn the shores of the Potomac tbe armies which were assembled here not many months ago. Burnside has come back from North Carolina, McClellan has returned from the James river Banks has come down from the mountains! McClellan is again virtually at the head of as largo an army as he ever commanded “before. Our expeditions to the sea-coast have been either-; interrupted or' abandoned—the war on the peninsula has terminated in a virtual ad mission -that the campaign was a magnificent mistake,.. The rebelliou cannot be, persuaded i awsy from the Potomac. Here,'at the heart of the nation, we must meet and grapple with the great enemy of the'natioa. .It is impossi ble to state precisely what the nature of this campaign will be; but' every indication points : to a season of incessant and bit'er warfare. The rebels are desperate, for unles s they strike : a decisive blow' immediately, the armies of tbe Republic will soon bo doubled, by the le vies under tbe' President’s call. Our own soldiers—led by;nevr generals, inspired with the enthusiasm of the North, and chastened ;by repeated misfortune—will make this cam paign one of immortal deeds. There is mueK excitement to-day, and many anxious faces may be seen on the-Avenue. This return of war to our homes is by no nreans a pleasant thing; nor is it at all agreed able to retire at night uncertain whether we shall awake in the morning citizens of the Union or prisoners of the Confederacy. But, as I have claimed before in this correspou- 1 dence, while endeavoring to illustrate the con dition of affairs around me, the proximity of 1 the rebels to Washington does not indicate any thing more than.a natural result of the policy adopted by the War Department. Now that wo look upon.it as something of the past; we must admit that it was a daring scheme. To with draw an immense army from its position on the banks of a narrow and difficult river, and trans port it to another and distant base, in the face of a vigilant- and powerful foe, was a magnifi cent 'undertaking. All the perils ware on our side. The rebels had inland steam communi cation—-railroads and rolling stock. They, were virtually within a day of Washington. McClellan could not move his army iu less,, than a woek, or ten days, and it was .possible that Lee might ’ adopt the Napoleonic policy, fall on Dope, and crush him before Burnside could arrive to his assistance, and have Wash ington before McClellan’s transports had rounded Acquia creek. . The battle of Cedar Mountain was the prelude to this plan. The gallant defence of Banks crippled the army of Jackson terribly," and he retired boyo nd the Eapidan to rearutt his forces -and obtain re inforcements. Lee met him—their armies were united, and then came the advance upon Washington. ' In the meantime our forces were neither idle nor blind. Had Pope crossed tbe Kapi dan in pursuit of Jackson, he would have been captured or cut to pieces. McClePan was not near- enough to support him. Burnside was not strong enough, and he was compelled to remain at Fredericksburg as a protection to. the lower Potomac. He could not make the Rappahannock the line of operations, either offensive or defensive, for it left, the valley open, and exposed Washington to the danger of a flank movement by way of Leesburg or - Edward’s Ferry. His policy was an obvious one, and we now see its wisdom. Abandoning Culpeper, and retreating,: as it were; in the direction of the Occoquan, ho left open the Warrenton road, and exposed Manassas to the rebels. The rebels rapidly advanced; Their cavalry made a raid on Cattlett’s Station, and captured some tranks of linen and hosiery, and another raid on Manassas, where se rious damage was done, partly because our troops were, inefficient, and became panic stricken. Emboldened by this success, Jack son threw]his army, as he supposed, in the -ixor of Pripoj-nTid-arivnneod up -the Warranton road, evidently contemplating a march upon Leesburg, and an advance into Maryland. : This was the position of affairs a few days ago. Lot us see hew it stands to-day; -I write yon this letter in the -midst-of a .thou sand rumors, and what I ain saying is merely an honest interpretation of these bewildering events. McCiplJafi i»d artjyttl at A,i?sap dria. His various divisions were enabled to come within supporting distance of Pope by the delay which the Cedar Mountain victory and the subsequent retreat occasioned. Jack son was in full inarch. He was within two days of Washington; there was no apparent obstacle to his advance. Now we learn, however, that while he was looking proudly on Maryland. Pope had thrown a column be yond Warrenton, completely isolating him from the supporting rebel army, while Heintzelman is on the road from Alexandria to oppose his march. Sigel and McDowell are harassing him in the flank,'Banks, lam told, is in the rear, and a large# army than fall, under the command of McClellan, disputes his march. This is the condition of affairs at present. Jackson has Jbeen fighting, terribly to 1 extricate himself, but: competent judges fresh from the field of battle, say that nothing can prevent him from being captured or an nihilated. v This will probably be the end of this last attempt to take" Washington. In the mean time, hero we are living in a condition of sus pense and excitement, The dull robrof dis tant cannon is heard—or we fancy that it is heard. Everyop; i■ ' ■■ 1 ■ ■ As soota as:the news of the raid was made known in Alexandria, General Tailor’s brigade, composed of the let, 2d, Bd. and 4th Regiments New Jersey Volunteers, of General Slocum's division, received orders to proceed to Manassas, audretake the fort at all hazards. Tho mon got on board of the train at 2 o’clock,in the morning, but, in conetquence of several delays on the route, they did not arrive this side of Bali Rail bridge until 6 o’clock in the morning. The cars could not proetod any further in comeouence of the amount of rubbage on the bridge, cccasioptd. by. the coltielon of -the night previous. The men were got out of; the pars, and marched in good order over the bridge. v At Ibis time heavy firing was heard front, and Gsn. Taylor expecting that our tdroos wore engagod with the. : rehels. the 4th Regiment were detailed to guard the bridge, wbiist the rest moved on. Companies D and H r of the 24 Regiment were detached as stirmisbers. Gon. Taylor, as soon as he eroised the bridge, filed hiamen" into an open field on the left of tho railroad, and formed’ his line of battle.- He then moved on through a sort of' ravine, and tbenco up a little hill, where a .body of’ cavalry and a battery of artillery were stationed. The -, guns were pointed in anothor dl; action, and wore firing' rapidly. General Taylor, thinking these were onr own troops, anfl that they s were Attacked by the ? rebels, prep and to move forward and support them. He had not procoedod far unlit another battery on his left opened, and, by the direction ihe.baUe and shells took, conveyed the impres sion that H also was one of- onr batteries, Gen.- Taylor immediately moved bis brigade a little further to the left, but had hot proceeded many paces before the two batte ries opened on him. Finding oat their trubcondiiion, Gen. Taylor gave the order to charge and take the battery, by storm. They proceeded to within three hundred yards of therehel battery, when the firing became so murderous, and our men tel! so fast, that Gen'Taylor found it 'would be impossible to take the battery, and therefore gave the order to abont face-ftad march-oßihafiAUAnJiniit-fcAt- tie. This was done in an excellent manner. The rebels; seeing our men retreat, advanced their cavalry and artil lory, and poured into our troops a destrnctive : fire. Our troops marched on until they reachod the aide of Bali Bun, when. they w.ete halted. and joined by the 11th and IStb Ohio. . The Hew Jersey Brigade W.re placed in the rear, and the enemy were engaged by the Ohio bbys, who held them in check for : some time, that' dnding that if. they should continue the struggle any longer, they would -be surrounded, slowly retreated to Buck Station. The loss in killed, wounded, and misting will probably reach two hundred and,fifty. During.tbs whr,le of the. charge on the rebel battery the New Jersey-brigade did not fire a single gnn, al-' though they were under a murderous fire for an hour and a' balf. General Taylor wanted to take the place by: the bayonet. If he.ladhad-a battery-of artillery along with bim he would, no doubt, havo driven tbe rfbelg out of,their eotrencements.. The list of those who wore wmLded in tbe engagement aod brought to Alexandria will be.foned below. The rest of. the wounded, are at Fairfax. WnEßfi DAS JACKSON SONS ? It Is generally believed that Jackson, finding that he could not captnre Pope, has gone .to Lotßburg, from which place, hB will, march to the Potomac, end then cross at Edwards’ Ferry into: Maryland, while Lee, with: hit whole »> my, would’move forward on our front. If this be the reset leaders’ intontlone they will uudoubredly fail, for onr military leaders have made ample prepara tions to receive the rebel army, at no matter what paint it may come. Jackson is between Pope and McClel lan, and yon need not be surprised at any moment to hear of the surrender or the utter annihilation of Stone wall's troops. GENERAL SI’CLBF.ItAN.
