To Major General Ilaneck, Genera/4n. Chief, Warh

We fought a terrific battle here yesterday with the
combined forces of the enemy, which lasted, with con
tit none fury, from daylight until after dark, by which
time the enemy was driven from the field, which we now

Our troops are too much exhausted yet to push mat

as coon as Fitz John Porter's corps come up from Ma

- The enemy is still on our front, but they are badly used
up. We have lost not lees than eight thousand men killed
and wounded, and, from the appearance of the field, the
enemy lost et least two to our one. •
Be stoxisittictly on the defensive, and every assault
was made by ourselves. .
Our troops behaved splendidly. • •
• The battle was fought on the identical battle-field of

our men. -.

the full account, published in the livening Mar:

We have positive information at noen to-day, from the
front, np to 4P.M. of yesterday. That is to say, eigh
teen hours later than the date of the official despatch of
General rope, published elsewhere in this afternoon's
&far. The substance of this -news is, that throughout
yesterday, the battle was continued by the army corps of
Heintaelman, McDowell, and Sigel, on our side, against
a rebel force believed to number from 50,000 to 60,000.
That is, against the army costs of Jackson, and, wepre
sumo, a portion of the rest of Leo's army that bad suc
ceeded in mating its way down from White Plains throtigh,:

NEINTZELNAN OVERTAKES JACKSON:
Heintsaraan's corps, if we are came* informed, came
up with the enemy's rear at about 10 A. M., seven miles.
from Centreville, which point he left let daybreak. He
found Jeolceou's command• fighting with McDowell or
Sigel, or both, on the right, ire the direction of flay •
market; the poallion they took (by going north from
Galesville) to command the entrance to and -exit from
Thoroughfare Gap.
THE BATTLE AT PIRBT INDECISIVE.
•
Our own informant, who left Centreville at 4 P.M., a
cool and clear-headed man, says that up to that hour the
impression prevailed there that nothing had definitely re-;
suited from the day's fighting, which, thoughoentinuorts,
had not been a very bloody battle. Person," subsequeatly
arriving, who were on the field of action themselves until
4 P.M., however, represent that the 'tide of success was
decidedly with the Union army, which pushed the rebels
successfully on both sides.
FEARS OF LEE'S RESERVE--PITr. JOHN PORTER
• WIDE AWAKE. ,
•
An impression prevails that the reserve of Lee's armi,
supposed to be from twenty-to forty thousand strong,
might suddenly appear neer the field; and we know that
the heavy cores under Fitz • John Porter was so posted
that It could instantly move upon Lee, with equal ease,
whether attacking McDowell, Sigel, or Heintselcusn.
OUR Paisroncioussrs TARDY AS.,IISIIAL.
-The large force sent sent from Alexandria yeeterday,
. under General Franklin to join ,Pope, made little pro
grew comparatively ' by' nightfall. • Our hope is that,
learning of the extent of the enemy's force this side of
White Plains, they hastened on their march shortly after
. midnight. Their delay has, however, subjected thorn to .
not a few unenviable criticisms in Washington to-day •
ONE OP ODE ADVANTAGES. .
The railroad, we are happy to be able to say,
.has'
has already been repaired quite up to Bull Bun, and snp
idles, eta., are now being transported over it to that •
° point. By midnight. we bare every reason to believe,
Bull Run bridge will again be passable, when the trains
can again run to Manassas.
(This is one of the most important and satlsfaidory
features of the neva. The sick and wounded can be oini-,•
veyed at once to Weshingtos, and Pope may be fauna
diately reinforced. It was the fear that the raid of
Stuart had destroyed the railroad and telegraphic Com
menication between General Halle& and the army,
which gave it such a Berton! character.] '
LATER DETAILS. '
. •
The editor of the Mar also adds the subjoined note to'
the despatch of General Pope, announcing' his victory on
Friday
'We have ,positive information that Pope came up with
and attacked the enemy again. a few minutes past nine.
this morning. Fitz John Porter by that time had probs.'
toff arrived on the field, from Mannasse, oily seven miles.
Off.
Our impression that the heaviest of the fighting of Yea-
terday was by McDowell and Sigel, in the vicinity of
Thoroughfare Gap,'was perhaps erroneous, judging frem '
' the above despatch from General Pope.
. The only possible line of even temporary retreat for
'Jackson, that we can perceive, is over ,the Warrenton'
I turnpike, towards the Rappahanneck, as McDowell and
Sigel are probably betweenghim . and Thoroughfare-GaP,"
through whith. be would-be compelled to go if seeking to
' proceed east. Elle John Porter's command, which em-,
braces some of their) recently with Burnside, is very
strong, we take it.
By to. morrow morning, as slowly as he may be moving,
Franklin ought to be within supporting distance of Pope,
with a large force, sufficient, with Fitz John Porter's, to ,
make mince-meat of any possible reinforcements the
enemy may get.
On the whole,. as we stated a day or two since, the pro
spect now is rendered doubly afire that there will peon be
few rebels in arms in Virginia
'WILL TEE REBELS SURRENDER?
P. 12..50 P. fit the firing slopped, we learn
. front parties just down from Fairfax county. We trust
the fact means a surrender of the rebels, arid do not see
hew it can mean aught eke. '

*Am:taxon, August 30.--The following intelligence
is gathered from private source,: ,
On WednraditY morning, 0r rather Tuesday night; a
report reached Warrenton -Junction that Jackson was
again in our rear—that, 'mineral of mating an attack
and ratiring,'ais his cavalrydid on Friday night last at
Catlett's Station, be had taken up a position on the rail
road, near Bristow, Um" miles smith of dianassas; had
burned two' railroad tralme, torn up the track: cat the
telt graph,• and taken prisoners allthe gnardis along the
road. • These reports proved to have been true, and the
events of yiednesday show his determination ; not to be
easily driven from the neighborhood. It seems, from
what' can be .wounded in our
hands • that Jackson and Dwell started from the vicinity
of Warrenton Springs on Sunday, with three divisions,
.creased the Rappahannock tome six miles south of the
_Blue Ridge, nromedcd by way of.Oricarts and Salem to
Bristow, ' n akiut ilia distaike in abont•iwn and a half
days. . • : . ••
On reaching this point, their first object of attack.was
the house of, Mr. Efiecemb, where too Union officers
were stopping. 'and w ho were at the time titling on the .
back 'porch' - smoking The house was attacked both
front and rear, and the bullet hetes in the wood and
plaster, _with the feet that none of the party were
wounded. ehowe.,..what. poor marksmen these, oevairr
were. The entire party, however, with the exception of
Captain 0. A.' Fildemmore, were takereprisonere. The
captain escapedlo the garret, and finding a sang little
hoar, succeeded in escaping their vigilance, though they
made a thorough search all over the house. Be lay. Gan
. reared till the next day, and only emerged froni
'big
hiding piece when the • battle was progressing, and our
`brave Itroye' were driving the enemy past the house:. The
names of Abe officers taken prisoners are as fitliows: •
Lieutenant Colonel Pierson,lst New York Yolumeeri;
Lieuteneiteellen and two other lieutenants' of 'the same
regiment; a lieutenant of the firth Pennsylvania; the
fire lieutenant of .Company B, 105th Peensylvania
lunteere ; a captain of the 4th Maine, and Lieutenants
. Johnson and Pendergrast; of .the 35th New York Vo
lunteers.
Their next attack was upon , a company of the 105th
Pennsylvania. Infantry and some dozen Pennsylvania
cavalry, left to guard the moat, two or three of whom were
killed and the remainder are supposed to be captured. -
' A train of empty cars thin came along from Warren
ton, and wag fired into by a regiment of infantry and •
one of cavalry, but escaped without serious iajary. •
Orders were then issued by Jackson to tear up the
track, which was done; and a second train coming along*
ran off the track and was fired into. A third'train, fol
lowing, ran. into the'second and was also' fired into, and.;
some persons, ow board were taken prisoners. A fourth
train made its appearance,lbut the engineer, suspecting..
emnethlng was wrong:slopped at a distance and blew
..whistle. He was answered by an engineer on one of the
ill-fated trains, and immediately reversed his engine anal
' returned toward Warrenton. The two trains captured'
were then fired, by order of Jackson, and entirely con
envied, einepting the iron-Work. .
The rebels then proceeded a mile down the'track,
burned •the bridge at Kettle Bun, bee tip Some thirty
feet, of: the track.- and cut the telegraph; wires.. They
oleo burned the , bridge across Broad Bun, at Bri•tow.

not get a chance to enter into the °mike.

the enemy in any large force, ordered a charge through
*mei Woods and into the clear space, when raw

the battetice throwing grape end nupister, the most of
"which, however, went over the heads of our troops: But

the numbers of the enemy so great that they were being

stopped at - Centreville to inquire the route taken by the
enemy. While the, were there, a woman waved a nag

from,tbe woods.. Our men scarcely had time to mount

They were folloired until they came in where our in

• when the passengers wore at dinner. The captain ORA
at a - glance that the ship must be lost, and ordered her
to be run aehore, and all handa on deck. About one
hundred men, women, and children had reached the
forecastle, when the flames tat off communication with
the .tier, part of the vessel. The fire spread with such
frightful rapidity that the engineers escaped to the deck
with 'the utmost difficulty. In half an hour the skip
grounded tbree'hundred•yards from the beach; on which
Inme was. a heavy swell. Life.preeervere, spars, and
other .moyablea, were tarnished to the passengers, and
thrown overboard after she struck. ,
The flame's spread with eueh rapidity that the beret
cane deck, from' the•foremast aft, fell with a tremendous
orash before reaching.the shore, and soon afterwards the
foremast went by the hoard. The heat had now become -
so intense - asi to compel all who remained to leave the
burning Wreck by lowering themselveii in the water with
lines furnished for that purpose, and many had thrown
themselves into the water fromyerious parts of the ship. -
After all bad left, Captain Pearson and ,Oaptain Hudson

Sr, Lotus, Mo, August 17,1882 —Linurrixerrr : I have
the honor to report that the military poet of IndePen
dencE,Mo , was attacked on the morning of August 11th,
at daybreak, by the rebel forges under command of Col.
J. H: Hughes, Timbering from 700 to 800 Men: These
forces entered the town.at two points, 'via.: by the Big
Spring road and the Harrisonville nil:tel.—The-peaty-en
tering by the Big Spring road divided into two parties,
one of which attacked the Provost Guard, of 24 men,
stationed at the jail the other attacked the bank build
iog.-which was occupied as headquarters, also the armory
of the volunteer militia, situated on the opposite aide of
the street, guarded by a detachment of 21 men, 16 of
this number being volunteer
The-Main body;entering 'by the Harriitonville road,
Proceeded along the two Ntriets leading to the camp,
which was situated nearly elahty rode west from the
bank building, attacking the camp on the east and north
sides; and thus cutting me off from all communication
with the camp. -The fret attack was made on that part
of the camp held by the company of Captain Thomas,
second battalion M. S. M. Thia conipany, not being
'able to maintain its ground being hard pressed, fell back
to' the cover of a stone wall running parallel with the
south side of tho camp. The remaining comPaniess
wbieb.were posted to tbe right and rear of this oompaar,
fell back to the seine Position, where, being enfiladed hr a
destructive Sank fire, they retired along the stone wall, thus
wreaths a galling fire from the enemy posted in a corn
field. At this critical moment Lieutenant Hetherington,
or the second battalion M. g. M., was detached with
sixty-five men, to open, if possible, a. oommunication
with headquarters: Advancing northward, he was at
tacked by a enperior force, which compelled him to seek
the comr of a brick house, which he defended in a moat
gallant manner 'until he was apprised that farther de
fence was useless, when he withdrew his command to
Kansas City. -
The number killed, and who have since died of their
grounds, amount to. twentyeix.• The wounded number
thirty, compilelog First Lieut. Vance and Second Lieut.
Pence, both of the 7th fdiseouri Volunteer iJavalry, who
conducted themselves in a gallant manner. Second
Lieut. Toung and Second Lieut. Swan also behaved
.gallanUy. ' The loss of the enemy could not be ascertain •
ed, as early in the-action they commenced carrying off
emir dead into the country.
From authentic sources, I learn that Colonel Hughes,
Captain Clark, and the notorious Hit Childs, and a num
ber of others were burlid ett Independenne. Among the
wounded of the enrrny, were Colonel Thompson, Lieut.

Ooi. ClArnzawoop—Blr : On the morning of the 15th
instant, about eight hundred men (our detachment in
cluded) were sent out from Lexington, under command
cf Major Foster, We arrived in the vicinity of Lone
Jack at 10 P. M , on the evening of the same day, where
we learned that the eneary; two thousand and five bun
deed strong, 'Were encamped one and one halt mile north
of the village. Atli. P. M. three fourths of a mile south
of the village, we encountered a heavy picket of the .
enemy, and ;a skinnieh commenced. One discharge of
the artillery, and a volley from our rifles, *scattered'them
in every direction, and the column proceeded. The ar
tillery wee again_ brought to bear upon them, shelling
their camp with such effect that they retreated, - and the
skirmish ended. . •
t daylight on the morning of the 16th instant,, our
Pickets reported them to be advancing upon me in three
columns of about one thousand men eaoh. Oar line - of
battle w as - scarcely formed when , they came upon nap
yelling like savages; and vending 'their halls into our
rants thick as-hail. Compenies -A And B were on the
left, and ocmpany B was in the contra of the line. Our
whole line opened anon them with severe effect, but our
right was driven back by overwhelming numbers, and
our artillery was captured by the enemy.'
Things were different on the left Company A. and my
Oompany,.,and another company of militia, repulsed a
large force of cavalry, which charged furiou sly upon our
left, aiming to rout us at the Bret 'dash: 'ln This sharp
contest every men steed to his post likes hero. The ac
tion then ceased upon the left for more than an hour
the enemy, in • full force, continuing the attack upon our
right with increased fury. - The canneniers
.all being
wounded or missing the cavalrymen used the pleOe ad
reirable; sending grape and.canister in the enemy's ranks
with great rapidity and effect. The action continued an
hour after we reacted the canton, when the rebels' were
repulsed arid driven entirely, from the village. The vie-,
try was ours, but the enemy was soon heavily reinforced
and rove were compelled to retreat •
When our artillerr was taken, dismay seemed for
a moment to spread through our right .and centre, but
it was only momentary. Their silence gave warning
like the ropmentewy.knehlng of the storm before it wines
with its most furious sweep and havoc. With the cry of
,'onward men," the sight and centre, aided by Company
A, and my corepanyomshed upon the enemy regardless
of danger, repulsing the continued assault of over two

None of the sets.therein referred to have been com
mitted, to' my knriwiedge, in this part of the United

No private property has bean wantonly burned. Sines
your. attack of thelth instant disclosed your - purpose to
drive this army from the pnblio, property of , the United
States, I have determined to adopt such measures as will
enable ma, in strict accordance with the laws of civilized
warfare, to maintain my present position. The accom
plishment of this purpose corn elima reluctantly to burn
a s mall number of house?, inoluding those of the United

not impossible that, through mistake, injustice may have
beta done in individual cases, and although , thezigilance
of officers may not always su ffi ce to freVent wrong oaths

false or frivolous pretexts.' No negro slaves have been
armed against you in this department. I have no infor

to the Mayer of Bayou Som. . • .
In future I shall permit no wanton deetructien of pri

We continue to get Information' every day of the de
signs of the enemy; Which provee conclusively that an
attack on this city . has been folly decided upon. The
rebels have got the game idea of our force here that fed
them into their terrible slaughter' before Baton Rouge.
They WIC] that we are reduced by death and disease to
a mere handful of troops. Let them fry ft on. They will
will find themselvee more mistaken than they were at
Baton Bongs. - I do not say this in any boasting spirit,
for our force is not so Pogo as it should be, and the Go
vernment should remember that to provide for the wants
of this department they must take Into consideration the
distance we are from the central power, and should at
tend to our wants in advance of the actual necessity.

GAWBRALS SHEPLBYAND BUTLER SERENADID.
Yesterday evening the Union citizens held a large and
enthusiastic meeting at Lyceum Hall, and after listening
to an admirable and patriotic address from L. Madison
Day; 7Srq, corporation counsel of New Orleans, they
formed into procession and marched up to the residence
of their new Governor, in:Prytanis meet, next house to
Qen. Butler's. .They were accompanied by a very fine
citizens' band, which discoursed excellent music in sere
nade to Governor Shepley. •
On being Introduced to the assemblage by Mr. Day,
Governor Shepley made a speech of considerable length,
and replete' with patrictient and good feeling to the
peosle of this State. Re said, in substance, that if any
thing could give him more pleasure than to see their up
turned faces on his return to their midst is was to see
thole feces upturned beneath the folds of the glorious old
flag of their common country. • Re assured them of the
kind intentions of the National Government and of the
military authorities of Louisiana, and declared that there
was no desire to interfere in their domestic institu
tions. He reverted to the condition of things in this
city, when eur troops • arrived here, compared with the
former prosperity of the metropolis of the State, whioh
he assured them was not only the pride of the countrYe
but bad been the peculiar and especial pet of the National
Government, and reminded them that the present pies
tration of business and commerce, the comparatively de.
seried bosom Of the noble Mississippi, and the terrible
social distress In thousands of families, were chargeable
to the men who, incited by an overweening ambition.'
bad raised Their parricidal hands against the fairest
government in the world In conclusion. be assured
them that no troops should be quartered in their midet,
and that no men tram a distant State should hold their
tillers a day after the Union men had gained in numbers
and power sufficiently to assume the control of their own
government.
The crowd then moved to General Butler's house,
where the bend played 'several Mrs. The people waited
very valiantly for, the appearance or the commanding
general, but se be was very briefly engiged in a matter
of impotence, the orowd finally disappeared without
seeing him.. • .
To•night therein to be a grand mass Union meeting Of
the workingmen in tina'about the City Hall. It is under
the auspicee of Colonel T. B. Thorpe, city surveyor, and
Lieutenant James Brady, Jr, of too 2fth ldassachusetta
Regiment. Lieutenant Brady mime to make this the
opportunity of organising an Irish regiment for the
United Btates ttervioe. I have so doubt the meeting will
be one of the lafgest ever witnessed in this city.
To the Editor of The Press :
fire : In melting my eyes over acme old demi
snents in my possession, I haviarfound the Knoxville
(Tenn.) : Register, of, lath of February last,-,in
which the speeches et it war meeting held there the
previous day are reported by the editor. Colonel
Baxter, a conservative man, who had been acting .
with the Union party, made the speech of the day,
'and was threatenedlwith violence from the Secession- -
iste. The Register, tiefriendly to Baxter, thus re-•
ports his speech : ' •
You now want, the 00-operation of:Union men -
in this crisis—bow. will you get it? If you want'
to make them acknowledge that Secession is right,
you will never get it, for the human mind cermet,:
be coerced.' Yon will not get it by slandering,
abusing, and persecuting theM, and practicing snob.
barbarities as he could prove had been practioed.
He hernwent 'into an `enumeration of instances of
barbarous persecution of. Union men. A captain
in neighboring counties had arrested more than.
fifty unoffending citizens and - 'subjected them to
cruel treatment. The-proof of -his misoonduct,b ad- .
been laid before the commander of this post,
who', instead of remanding or punishing him, had
recommissioned him and sent him back, to •
hie atrocious work. Another commander had, with
out law, hung two Union men to the limb of a tree, '
at Greeneville, and, with an inhumanity that was
disgraceful to civilization, had loft them hanging
for twenty-four hours,.to intimidate and hartam
Union men. Two gentlemen, who had no design to,
assist the enemy, bat Occupied the same platform
that, he (Mr. Baxter) did, on this question, were ar
rested and sent to Tuicaloosa, and subjeoted to the
horrors , of an imprisonment., from the effaces - of
which they died. After enumerating many more.
;misdeeds of the military, and the Secessionists,'
the proofs of which he has and can produce, he.'
concluded by admonishing them to cease their per
secutions, and urged a conciliatory course.
eln this brief outline of Mr. Baxter's speech,
we have touched only the salient points."
I' call - the attention of Northern sympathizers to
this extract, who allege that no such cruelties have.
been perpetrated in East Tennessee. I well re
member the day on which Colonel Baxter spoke,
though I was, at the time, in prison, and under the.
care of a physkitin, who gave me an outline of the
proceedings of the war :meeting. Dr. Curry and:
Colonel Crozier spoke on the Secession,,aide. It was
previously understood that Colonel Baxter would'
, speak, and this , announcement, together with his
anomalouS position, brought out a crowd, among
them many rebel troops, threatening him with,
death.. He was afterwards lodged in jail, and. •
where he now is I am not informed. He ia - ti
man and an able lawyer, if still living.
While this report of Col. • Baxtor's speech—not
contradieted 'then—establishea the truth of the
charges of cruel treatment to Union men '
it utterly
fails to report one.half,pf what he did say... He
- told them in that"speech of the shooting of Dongless
and Ball down in the. streets of Knoxville ! He..
told them of' the tying to a log, stripping bare;and
whipping unmercifully, Union-!men in that county!
lie told them• of their, cruel treatment and im
prisonment of Dr y ThornbUrg ! He told them of
their driving AndreeiJobnson's sick wife out of her
house, and .occupying it as a hospital lie told.
theM of the hinging Slarmon and son, in.
that same town, and of refusing them a trial ! He, •
told them of 'their then having all the jails in Fest t .
withl - Union men, some of whoin'
were sickening and dying for want of medical ate
ter,tion and of 'ether- necessaries ! And hi told '''
them:of other outrages, too bad for me to mention. . • z
in an article likely,to be perused by ladies Nev,er,
