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.

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<S that arrives from Yirginiais

woitby of consideration when • I say that
Washington was never safer than it is now.
It seems as if the batiks of this beautiful and

and remembered in song. Time is avenging

IDLE RUMORS.
This city end Wusnington are at present full of excite
ment, and rumors, both probable and improbable, are so
numerous that your correspondents find It almost next to
impossible to get as much reliable news ai they would
want and (he public expect. However, la my journeys
along the lines, elfcce yesterday, I have gathered the fol
lowing items, which, so far os at; present known, are
roliablo. .
TIIB WAV JACKSON GOT INTO THE BEAR-OP
GENERAL POPE.
Of course, .(he principal lopic is how Jackson managed
to got around the right wing of General Pope's army,
and make hie raid on jttanarees Junction for the purposo
of opc-i aiing in the rear of General Pope’s army, while
General Lie made the attack on the front; All the six
daye.figbiicg of our ;anny on the'Rappahannock.is now
known to Imvo bi on merely a feint on the part of the
retails,, and their, supposfd retreating towards; SperiyvlUe
via Little Washington was alio intended for tho
same purposo. Instead of the whole rebel army
moving back, General Leo carefully concealed his
main force along tbe banks of the Rnppabsnnook,
while be sent Jackson to Warrenton witn 49,000 men,
5,000 ot whom were cavalry under Colonel Lee, to
march along the country between the Blue Ridge aud
Bull Bun ranger of'mountains. Jaekssn concentrated
hi* fnroes nr White Plains and galena, and sent his*9a--
yalry through .to reoonnoitre. As soon as he foltowel
with his infantry, and coming through Thoroughfai-a Gap,
be mafo a forced march until he reached Oentrevilie.
From this place bo was within striking distance, of
Genual Pope's rear, and he improved it, no doubt
thinking that he could annihilate the Army of Yir- ’
ginfa before it could have any suooor frem ■
The cavalry dashes of; Colonel-Leo were 1 thought, by
loir-e, lo be too daring if he was not confident of having
infantry to support him in caso of an emergency, but so
far as I could boar, our officers did not shire the Same
opinion. , . .
The rebel cavalry, by their attack on onr forces on
Tueeday night, created such a panio among onr troops,
that the rebel cavalry bad it all their own way, and du
ring that night they held high revel in onr camp. The
haiUry of artillery thoy had captured they pissed in
favorable-position, and drew their cavalry up in line of
battle, so that ,it could be concealed from our forces.
Sonic of their guns weie placed in a fort, and the others
were planted so that if our fbrcesßhohld make'an attack
on tbe,r position, they could concentrate a cross fi'ro
upon us. The best riflemen in thecommand were picked
ont and posted in the rifle-pits, which are very nume
rous in that locality. - ' - ->; 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.

Special Despatches to “ .The Press.”
Washington, August 29,1852.
From the Army of VirglUia,
Tbc absence of 101 l intelligence from, the seat of war.
causes a deep impression of anxiety to "be made upon the
minds of all to-day, though the evening jou.nals profess
to bare news which is of a more gratifying character
than can be obtained from other sources, and seems to
assure the safety of this capital beyond a d mbt. So far
from the dash on Manassas' being a mero cavalry raid,
it lengthens out into one or two divisions of the rebel army,
which bare thusfnr succeeded in maintaining a position be
tween tho'army of Gen. Porii and the fortifications around
Washington, even after one or two battles have been
fougbt! From the mass of conflicting rumors, stories of re
turned officers, civilians, and stragglers, It appsars tfiat
Jackson's army and Stuart’s cavalry succeeded, on
Tuesday night last, in reaching Bristow and Manassas
stations, in the rear of General Horn', by coming - around
on tbe north west of his command, eta "Whits Plains, un
til the points oo the-rollrdad Drought them in Bora’s
rear, or Bis front as :the situation now s;ands. The
crossing of the Bappahannock was made near its head,
at Wateriuo, and thence the rebel, corps was-, marcht-tito
White Plains, and across the country to Briatow and
MsnBBSBs. This was accomplithed in two days, and
without the transportation of mnoh baggage.
So that, instead of giving battle to only cavalry a;
Manassas, Taylor’s Brigade, on Wednesday, engaged
treble its number of the enemy hear the Junction. At i
P, M.. yfsterfiay an. engagement commsnced between
Porn and either Jackson's rear or Longstrbkt’s ad.
vance, comeu-horn about Manassas. If with the former,
then Heintzlbman’s corps d’ armee, or a portion of it,
wbb engaged, on onr aide. If with the latter, then MoOow
bll, or biGBL, or' both, commenced It. ,It continued
through fho balanco of the afternoon, and the rosnlt was
favorable to tu.
c Hook:-; it’s battle of the day before yesterday was with
Ewell’s division, and was a very gratffyiug success.
The Star says that Major General Pope, by 9 30 yester
day forenooD, had concentrated bis very large army so as
sadly to interlere .with .the calculations upon'which the
rebel goaeralß must havo ventured Inelr, bold e nd extra
ordinary movement. He lad gotten MoDowkll’s force,
including Siobl’s, probably, between Jackson's rear
and Lono&trbbt’s front, and had also ad the rest of his
army well np, within supporting distance of them.
If the enemy does not succeed in getting to Leesburg
or into the valley of Virginia, there is very saro indlca
tion that he will be captured.
. Two or three arrivals this afternoon from near Fair
fax, bring the intelfifcmce that communioition is about
to be re-established through Manassas to General ?oph.
The istar intimates that it will be done within ttrenty
four boors, though this can hardly, bo reconciled' with'
the state mentthatjesterday at 1 PM. the rebel cavalry
occupied Fairfax Court House id force, and had collected
there their own wounded of the action of the day before,
and also the prisoners they took from Tatlor. , ;
In the aUernooMbsut eight hundred of this otvalry
force, under Stuart in person, moved down from Fairfax
Court Home to Vienna, and this morning an advance of
ibis cavalry ceme from Vienna to Fail: Chnroh, whore
they drove away onr pickets and the telegraph operator
at' that point.' This is but six miles from 1 Georgetown;
and Washington, and ut noon to-day rebel cavalry were'
also seen at Lewinsville, where Gen. MoIUIL’B Beservos
were once encamped, but twelve miles from Washington.;
The Very Latest.
Intelligence has jußt reached the city that another bat
tle is in progress at Manassas. It is probably a large,
one, including ell of Pope's army.
,I cbuld.not telegraph last night, but now add that
General McClellan has been placed in command of alt
the Union forces in Virgioia, and is so disposing of the
heavy jJnioH force in and around Washington, Alexan
dria: and the fortifications, as soon to make it play an
intportant part in the eventTul drama of the'-hour.;
In the battle? of yesterday the attack certainly came
from our tide, c-.l - •
The Rebels at Vienna, Va.

Conrtj callM last night to Bay that be and all the Colon
men t>t Fairfax wero compelled to leave onWedne'aday,-
the rebels bavingjpoiseselon of the place. . ;;;
Yesteiday, he started to return, to learn the fate of his
tsmily, but was met on the way by oittzeos of Vienna,'
who were escaping from that place, seven hundred os
valry baring made a descent upon that plaoe, Mr. D;
having concealed himself In acorn-field, and finally es
caped to this city. But one Union trail is left in Vienna,
which ie only,lwelve-miles from Washington.
It is understood that there is a large force at Leesburg,'
and the prevailing opinion is that they intend to' cross
into Maryland, by way of ;Walker's- ford, the water not ;
being more than knee drop.
. Better' News.
A gentleman who arrived in this oily last night fram
Alexandria is the bearer of mnch more agreeable hews'
fioni. the seat of wsr. He Bays that it was'generaily un
derstood there, in the best iuiormed militor/ circles, that
both' Generals Fop* and Burnside had"succeeded in cut.

from Gen. Pope has been received:
; Manassas Junction, August2B—lo P. M,
To M-jor Gen. IT. W. Ilalleck General-in-Chief:
-An Boon as I discovered that a large force of the enemy
wts turning our right toward Manassas, and that the
division I bad ordered to take post there, two days be-'
fore, had not yet arrived there from Alexandria, I im
mediately broke up my camps at Warrenton Junction
and Watrenton, and marched rapidly back in three
columns.
T-direcled McDowell, with his own and Sigel’s corps,
and Rmio’b division, to march upon Gainesville by the
Warrenton and Alexardiia pike; Bsno and ono division
of Heiutrlr.Tr.an to march on Greenwich; and, with Por
ter’s corps and ’Hooker’s division, I marched back to
Manassas Junction. McDowell was ordered to interpose
between the forces of the enemy, which had passed down
to Manassas through Gainesville, and his main body,
which was moving down'from 'White Plains through
Thoroughfare Gap. This was completely accomplished,
Long'street, who had passed through the gap, being
driven back to the west side: The forces sont to Green
wich were designed to support UoJDo well in case he met
too large a forcool the enemy.
The division of Hooker, marching towards Manassas,
came upon the enemy near Kettle Bun, on the afternoon
Cflh.e 27th, and .after a aharp action-routed them com
pletely, killing, and wounding 300, and capturing thoir
camps and baggage and many stands of arms. ■:
This morning tho command pushed rapidly to Manas
sas Junction, which Jackson had evacuated throe hours
in advapeo. Ho retreated by way of Oentreviile, and
took tho turnpiko towards Warrenton. ;
Ho was met when six miles west of Oentreviile by Mo-
Dowell sud Slgel. -.-
v tale tbls afternoon a' severe fight took place, whioh
has been terminated by"the darkness. >
The enemy was driven back fit all points; find thus
the affair rests.
Heintzelmau’s corps will move on him at daylight,
Trcm Oentreviile, and I do not see how he is to escape
I without heavy loss.
‘Wo have captured a thousand prisoners, many arms,
and one piece of artillory. JOHN POPE,

EJHABBisiiirKa, AngnstJO,—-Information received at the

after the iuota is declared; The loyalty of the State is'
‘ aroused, and there la little doubt that Pennsylvania's
: full gnola- will be volnuteered in due time.' When the
volunteers are not furnished In any district, the draft
will certainly be inadeat the time appointed.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONKY MARKET.

Thero wa3 mnch speculation in the stock and money
circles to-day, in regard : to the eonfiioting rumors from
the seat of war. The. vague reportß are generally ac
cepted as looking favorable, to our, cause; and the senH
meDt was freely expressed that the rebels are getting
themselves into a very dangerous position. If ths forcsi
under Gen. Pope are as numerons as we are led to b*.
lieve, it isbard to conceive how Srsveree ban happen to
him, having the now troops now being hurried down,
and the troops who have been' garrisoning Washington
and its vicinity threatening the rebels: from the north
and east. Gold opened at 116 X and riose to 118, owing
to » %ge deinand from the out-lde. Old demands wera
steady at 207j{ ©ioS, with a strong closing market. The
long-looked.for postage stamp enrrenoy has made its
appearance In small quantities. The vast amount it wil
be necessary to print before eyeri a small supply is testy
renders it almost impossible toi Bay when they will bode.
llvered in Quantities; bnt, now that ths plates are ready,
we may soon look for a steady snpply.
The effect of the war news operated hut very UtUs os

veloping the movements of onr armies caused some in
