The 28th Pennsylvania escaped withoUt a loss s having been detached to guard a signal station, eight or ten miles south West, of the battle field, early in . the day. They returned ) , ,eiterday, esteerting the signal offf oers) altkough compelled to pass near the enemy's pickets. Sunday night, about 11 o'clock, while Gene. Pope and *Wife were in the , rear of our batteries, a body of ~ the enemy's cavalry charged in the most dant% manner thro' the woods on our . front upon the group. The discharge of musketry and the whizz ing of the balls near them gave them 'timely notice of the rebels' approach. Their horses were speedily mounted, and a regiment of infantry fired a volley, checking the charge, and pro bably saving both our commanders. Gen. Buford, with his cavalry com mand arrived at Culpepper on Satur day from Madison. Previous to his departure thence he sent a, recon noissance to the Rapidan, where he found a force of the enemy on the south, but none on the north side of the river. Dr. Leland was shot in the eye. The other regiments have not been heard from definitely, Stragglers from the battle-field to the town have all been arrested by order of Gen. Pope, and by tO-mor roW a list of the Missing can be ob tained. _. Latest —A telegram from Culpep per., dated to-day, says all was quiet last night and this morning. • Col. Donnelly, the New York 28th regiment is still alive, but in sinking condition. The other wounded offi cers are generally doing well. Further of the Late Battle. CULPEPPER C. 11., VA., August 12. The flight of Jackson shows that he tears our troops.. On Satnrday he engaged with his whole force, num !)ermg at least thirty thousand men, a portion of the corps of Gen. Banks, who•behaved nobly, holding the ene my in check, and, with the aid of one division of McDowell's and Sigel'3 corps, which arrived late in the day, driving it from several po• sitions, and, finally, from the field of battle. Jackson's loss can scarce ly be less than fifteen hundred. Our loss is much less. It was the blood iest battle of the war. On Sunday Jackson remained idle, the troops on both sides being exhausted, and on Monday he asked for a truce to bury ig dead, a large proportion of which lie, on the held of battle, pending whjcj he `escaped with his trains. This .morning his whole army was gone, pursued by Gen. Buford, with his cavalry and artillery, which quickened his pace towards Gordons ville, compelling him to burn bridges to •save hims 4 and obviously not intending to stop before reaching the fortifications at Richmond. Gen. Pope has fully met tho public expec tation. The enemy show their backs 0n1y.... The valley of the Shenan doah and the whole country from .Mana4sas to Cr'ordoniaville is no long er i3olluted .by the presence of armed rebels. Jackson's servant has just come into the quarters of Gen. Mc- Dowell, and reports that Jackson ad mits a loss of two thousand men in the engagement of Saturday. No wonder the rebel General run. BATTU AT INDEPENDENCE, MO. LEXIRGTON, Mo., Aug. 12.—A bat tle took place at Independence yes terday morning at 3 o'clock, between the Federal forces numbering 350 men, under Lieut. Colonel Buell, and from 500 to 600 guerrillas, under the notorious Col. Hughes, assisted by Quantrel and Hayes, resulting in the complete rout and surrender of our troops. The loss on either side is unknown. It appears that the town was surprised about 3 a m. A sim ultaneous movement was made upon thereamp, Buell's headquarters, and the Provost Marshal's office, which were some distance apart. The Provost Marshall's office was entered by citizens professing loyalty, and the arms were taken and used against the Fedorals. The fight lasted about four hours, the troops, almost without officers, hotly contesting the ground, shelter ing themselves behind trees, fences, stables, &c. Capt. Thomas, of the militia, was taken prisoner almost at the outset. At one time it is report ed the guerrillas were about giving up the ground and retiring before the destructive fire of our men, and accordingly they had Capt. Thomas brought out of the house where he was confined and shot dead. At this juncture a white flag appeared at Col. Buell's headquarters, when the guerrillas returned and took pos session of all who remained. Lieut. Harrington and fifty men cut their way through the rebels and made goodtheir escape. Most of the pris oners, were paroled by taking the oath not to take up arms. All who were-present agree in stating there were no mounted pickets stationed outside of the town that night. A large quantity of arms, some 2,000 rounds of ammunition, besides other government property, fell into the hands of the enemy. • On receipt of the news of the sur render of Independence here, the city was thrown into a great state of excitement. All business houses, ialoons, etc:, were closed. The militia was called out, and guards p i romptly placed around the city. • • • • A call wairtnadefor reinforcenients from Fort Leavenworth, which was responded to by Lieut. Col. Burns, whO arrived yesterday at 4 p. m., with four companies of infantry, and three of 'cavalry, and . two pieces of' artillery. Also, 'lliajor Ramasin, can minding the Sixth Kansas cm , : arrived in due time from tie South East. The entire force, under command of ,Cal: Burns, left this morning at 3 o'clo . ck in pursuit of the cuemy‘, Baton soup Be-taken.—The tokluum Again. It was reported in Cairo, on Wednes day, that Breckinridge had attacked Baton Rouge, and at first was repuls ed with hea , ss , loss. Gen. Clark, of Mississippi, and Col. Thos. Hunt, of Kentucky, were killed. The repulse is laid to the rain Arkansas, which failed to come to time. On the af ternoon of the same day Breckinridge is said to have telegraphed to the Grenada Appeal that the Arkansas arrived and destroyed two of our Eunboats and damaged others, driv ing off our fleet, and that he had cap tured the entire Federal forces at that place. The Memphis Bulletin prints a report that Breckinridge at tacked and captured Baton Rouge last Wednesday, and considers it not improbable. The Bulletin of the 10th also contains the following :—The rebel ram Arkansas came on a re connoitering expedition up the river as far as Islands 67 and 68, within fifty miles of Helena, Ark., a few days since. The Louisville, accom panied by transports White Cloud and Yatan, started with the Third Wisconsin from Helena to go up White river. The Louisville ran aground, and the expedition was aban doned because of the insufficiency of water, and retured to Helena just in time miss the Arkansas. Had it been a few hours later 4, collision must have taken place. THE BURNING OF THE GOLDEN GATE. A Slim Francisco dispatch says : The steamer Golden Gate, Captain Hudson, burned at sea, sailed hence for Panama on the 21st ult., having ninety-fie cabin passengers, one hun dred and forty-seven second cabin and steerage, and ninety-five crew, and $1,400,000 treasure. On the 26th nit, at 4:45 in the afternoon, while fif teen miles north of Mangenallo, while the passengers were dining, the alarm of - fire was heard. The steamer promptly headed for the shore, three and a half miles distant, the flames making fearful headway. At a quarter after five the upper deck f'ell in, and soon after she struck the beach and the passengers and crew who had not got into boats jumped overboard and attempted to swim. About one hundred, including five children, swain or were washed ashore alive. The ship was burned to the water's edge and soon disap peared. Those on shore made their way to near Manzanillo, just as the steamer St. Louis arrived up from Panama. Some few others escaped to Manzanillo in boats. One boat with thirty was not heard from, but probably made shore south of Man zanillo. The St. Louis has arrived here bringing seventy-eight of the Golden Gate's passengers, all that are known to be saved, and a portion of the crew. Capt. Hudson with a portion of the crew remained at Man zanillo to look after missing passen gers. Important from Riohmond. An entertaining account of ten months' residence in the South, and the difficulties of escaping therefrom, appears in the Eastern papers. It is the history of a printer, who was permitted to come North under a passport from the British Consul at Charleston, where he resided.— Among other incidents related is the fact which he positively states was asserted in the Richmond Examiner office in his presence, that "General Lee had 220,000 men in the late bat tles, and 40,000 in Richmond as a reserve." Even the rebels accord ed to General 31c:Clollan the greatest praise for his masterly - retreat. On 2d of July, the Examiner announced that he was surrounded, driven into a swamp, and his stores, ammuni tion, artillery and wagons captured. Jackson, it was said, was in his rear, Huger on his left, Hill and Longstreet on his front, and Magruder on his right, and the next day it was con fidently expected he would be escort ed through the streets in a cage.— Next day, however, the tune had changed, and the Examiner began its display head to the news with this line—" The bird has flown." The rebels were outgencralcd, and Mc- Clellan all right. Gallatin, Tenn., Captured by the Rebels. LousviLLE, Aug. 12.—John Mor- gan with 1,800 cavalry and four pieces of artillery, entered Gallatin, Tenn,, early this morning, and captured Col. Boone, commanding the post, with about 300 men of the 28th Kentucky regiment, and a Federal freight train containing 60 horses and a lot of oats and corn. There was no fight. Mor gan was still in possession at noon to-day. Adjutant General Finuel declines accepting the resignation of John Boyle, nephew of the General, as Lieutenant Colonel of the 9th Ken tucky cavalry, and orders him to join his regiment. How Volunteering Pays. It is said that in Truro, Massachu setts, the quota assigned to the town has been enlisted from one family consisting of four persons. They re ceived a bounty of , $325 each—total $1,300; clubbed the fonds, and pur chased a farm for the "old folks," whom they leave in possession while theygo the' war. mili-G-en. Howard's right arm was shattered by a ball during the recent battles, - and wee amputated above the elbow. While being borne on a litter he met Gen. Kearney, who had lost his left arm in Mexico. "I want to make a bargain with you, Gana id," said Howard, "that hereafter Ire buy our ewes together." 1- The Fight at .13a,ton 'Rouge Regaitionil'or Drifting - . THE FEDERAL VICTORY COMPLETE ! ! GENERAL ORDER NO. 98. Gen. Lovell Reported Killed and Breck inridge Winged. Naar YORK, August 18.—The steamer North Star and Roanoake have arrived from New Orleans with dates to the 10th inst. They bring the particulars of the defeat of the rebels at Baton Rouge, La., and the destruction of the ram Arkansas. A letter from Baton Rouge says that Nim's battery thrice repulsed the foe, and did them great damage. Breckinridge lost hjs right arm by a cannon ball. The fight took place on the edge of the town, General Williams being unwilling to ex pose the helpless women and children.— Nim's men are entitled to imperishable glory. The loss of the enemy must have been severe, as our men charged and re-charged upon them. We have taken three guns. Another account, says the rebel troops were variously estimated at from 5,000 to 15,000 men, under Generals Lovell and Brcckinridge. The combat was obstinate. Our loss is two hundred and fifty killed, including a large proportion of officers.— The rebel loss, according to the prisoners' account, was immense. Among the killed was Gen. Love]]. The ram Arkansas was just above Baton Rouge, but dared not take part in the conflict. Later accounts say that the Arkansas wati aground above Baton Rouge, when the Essex and other gun boats went to her and set her on fire, when she blew up. The transport steamer Lewis Whiteman ran into the gunboat Oneida, thirty miles above New Orleans, on the night of the 6th, and the transport was sunk. It had the body of Gen. Williams on board, with ar. escort, consisting of six of his body guard; also forty-two of our, and three, rebel wounded. The body of Gen. Wil liams was recovered, and thirty-eight wounded soldiers and three of the body guard saved. The official report of Col. Cahill. com manding the post after the death of Gen. Williams, states that "the rebel force was about ten regiments. After a fight of four hours of great severity, the enemy were repulsed. Gen. Williams was killed by a rifle ball through the chest. During the battle our forces were obliged to retire about a quarter of a mile from their original position, and the enemy were able, temporarily, to occupy the camps of the 21st Indiana, 7th Vermont and 14th Maine Regiments, and to destroy much of the baggage and camp equipage. They were, however, driven out, but our numbers being much lessened by sickness, and the men in the field being much ex hausted by fatigue and heat, it was not deemed expedient to pursue them. Harrison's Landing Evacuated. FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. 16th.— Harrison's Landing was evacuated by the Union troops this morning, and at about the same hour General McClellan's advance arrived at Wil liamsburg. All quiet, and all public property removed. THE LAST MOMENTS OF GEN. Mc 000K. The following was his own story of the assassination. While on the road he met a man and asked of him a good place to encamp. The man told him that on the hill beyond there was plenty of good water.— At the top of the hill a spot was found, and the General immediately commanded the ambulance to be turned about, which was done. A number of shots were fired; eleven 9f them piercing the vehicle. A rebel horseman came up and asked them to halt. While attempting to obey, he gave the order the second time, and discharged his pistol into the General's side. Captain Burke, of the General's Staff, implored him to stop firing, as there was a sick man in - the vehicle. Another guer rilla came up and was about to fire, but the General told him that it was unnecessary. as be was mortally in jured already. He was conveyed to the house, the negro driver running away to save his life. The people of the house wanted to conceal the General as the house would be burned if he should die there. But it was not done. Recognizing Capt. Burt, of the Ohio 15th, the dying General ad dressed him : "Andy, (meaning Gov ornor Johnson,) the problem of life will soon be solved for me. Tell Alexander and the rest that I have tried to live as a man, and die in at tempting to do my duty." The death struggle now came on. He took the hand of Father Beatty and exclaimed : "I am done with life; yes, this ends it all, you and I part now. But the loss of 10,000 such lives as yours and tnine would be nothing if the sacrifice would but save a government such as ours." The ass assination was a deliberate one. The sutler of the Niuth Ohio had overheard the guerrillas as they were arranging it, but had no oppor tunity to communicate the informa tion. A little before his decease, Colon el Vandever, of the Thirty-fifth Ohio, drew his will. He bequeathed his property to his mother, and present ed his two favorite horses to his broth ers Daniel and Alexander. Guerrillas Driven from Missouri Geu. Merrill telegraphs to St. Louis, from Hudson, Mo., further particulars of the battle near Kirksville, be tween Col.McNeil's forces and Port. er's guerrillas, numbering 3,000 men. The loss of the enemy is not less than 300, of whom 120 were found and buried on the battle-field. Two thousand of Porter's force deserted him, and have scattered in every di rection ; several hundred have been taken prisoners, and some of the most notorious of these, found with evidence of their faithlessness to their oaths, and their paroles in their pockets, were summarily disposed of by a court martial. Porter and those rebels who adhere to him are retreating, closely followed by Mc- Neil and his victorious troops. The Federal loss is eight killed and twen ty-five wounded. Col. McNeil was slightly injured. This victory has broken the back-bone of the rebels in Missouri. The troops in pursuit will either drive them out of the State or put it out of their power doing any harthecinischier in it. WAR DEPARTMENT, Washington, Aug. 9th, 1862.

By order of the Secretary of War. L. THOMAS, Adj't General. Latest from Pope's Army--A Decissive Battle Expected. CULPEPPER, Augustl.s.—Gen.Butord returned to camp yesterday. From best dates obtained, it is thought that Jackson's rear line is about four miles back of the Rapidan, while his main point of defence is Gordons ville. It is also reported that large forces of the enemy now occupy the line of the Central Railroad from Louisa to Cbarlottsville. From this it would appear that they intend to fight a descisive battle at or near Gordonsville. Gen. Buford took many prisoners, some of whom come out from their hiding places, and voluntarily surrendered. They said they were tired of the war. Colonel Donnelly died last night. All is be lieved to be quiet in front this morn ing. Late from Nashville, NASHVILLE, August 13th.—Col. Mil ler commanding at his post, left for Gallatin last evening, with two regi ments. He surprised a party of Morgan's force at Gallatin, killing six, whereof three were officers, among who was Capt. W. C. Breck inridge, son of Dr. Robert J , who joined Jno. Morgan in his late raid upon Lexington. No loss on the Fed eral side. Thee are various rumors, which cannot be verified to night, of skirmishes in the vicinity of Bowling Greene. enmmunitatigno. For the Messenger SLTACRVINE, PVTNAM CO., ILL., Aug. 12, '62. MESSRB. Entroas :—We send you a line to let our old Democratic friends of Greene county know that our Democratic boys of Illinois, formerly of Greene Co., Pa., are not afraid of war. This day Zenis C. Worley, Clark M. Dawson, John L. Dawson, Noah Pettit, and others of our neighbors, went into Camp at Peoria for the purpose of putting down this rebellion, and supporting the Constitution, and up holding the Union of the States. Yours truly, ROBERT WORLEY, E. H. DAWSON. FOR THE MESSENGER "THEORIES." Already has the theory of Gov. Wickliffe, Carlisle, Voorhees and Richardson developed its tendency alarmingly in Kentucky, Missouri, and even Indiana. Troubles of like nature are apprehended in Tennes see, Maryland and Western Virginia. Whilt,,t, the entire energies of the Nation are strained to their utmost tension to crush treason and restore the Union, and because the adminis stration in its wisdom has decided that to insure immediate success it becomes necessary to confiscate the property of traitors indiscriminately, we have refractory spirits heading a faction, who declare that the Gov ernment is abolitionized,and that ab olitionists are worse than traitors. Do Greene Couutians embrace the Doctrine ? Greene County Republican. May I ask your neighbor of the Repub lican, what he means by the "theory" of Wickliffe, Carlile, Voorhees and Richard son ? These gentlemen, I think, have al ready been regarded as unexceptionable Union men. The two first mentioned, in Kentucky and Virginia, have withstood Secession against obloquy, and at personal hazard. I know but little of Voorhees, except that he is a most eloquent advocate of the Union, and a Democratic Repre sentative from Indiana, and as to gallant old Dick Richardson, the most intimate and trusted friend of the lamented Doug las, I think no one has ventured to assail his loyalty : certainly he had the endorse ment of President Lincoln himself, who tendered him a Brigadier Generalship in the present war. But it seems these gentlemen entertain a "theory," and that it is distasteful to the "Republican" Editors. What can he refer to? It is possible that the ''theo ry" of these gentleman and that of the "Republican" on the Negro question may not square. I confess I would not be surprised if it were so. Two of these gentlemen are Representatives of slave holding constituencies, much of whose wealth is invested in negroes, and they may well conclude the attachment of their people to the Union might be weak ened by robbing them of their property, and by making the war to be for the extir pation of slavery, rather than for the re storation of the Union ; and especially so, as the President's Proclamation, and the unanimous passage of the Crittenden Resolution, proclaimed that the war was commenced for the "restoration of the Union, and the supremacy of the Consti tution‘" and not for the "destruction of the institutions of the Southern States." I doubt not all the gentlemen named favor this;"theory" on which the war was declared. The President has a "theory" of eman cipating the slaves with compensation by the General Government to the owners.— What is the theory of the "Republican" editor • on this subject? Does he favor "compensation" to the loyal slave owners for the negro property he is asked to sac rifice? That is most certainly not the "theory" of the Abolitionists, while it cer tainly is the theory of President Lincoln. There is another "theory" or two, upon the Negro question, to which the Editor may refer. For instance, there are some excellent men, and good constitutional lawyers, and among them is the Pres ident of the United States, who holds the "theory" that the Constitution pro hibits the forfeiture of Real Estate be yond the life-time of the Traitor—that the children should not suffer for the crime of the father. Again, there is the "theory" that negroes should be used as soldiers in the present war. Now, it is very possible that all these gentlemen differ with the "theory" of the Editor of the "Republican" on the subject. I think it very probable that not one of them will agree to place the negro in the ranks of the army, at least until it is demonstrated that the white men of the country are in capable of putting down this atrocious re bellion. Now I again respectfully ask the "Republican" what his "theory" is, on these questions? and I insist on an an swer, for it may thereby appear that al though his "theory" differs from that of these gentlemen, it, at the same time, may differ with that of the President of the United States, whose "theory" on these questions it is certain agrees with those gentlemen, and as certainly disagrees with the whole tribe of negro schemers and Radical Abolitionists. Ido not mean to assert, and I trust no Republican will understand we as assert ing, that the Republicans, as a body, are Abolitionists. I know they are not.— Many of them as heartily repudiate the crude, ill-digested and mischievous "the ories" of the Radical Abolitionists, as do Messrs. "Wickliffe, Carlile, Voor hees and Richardson," or even the Presi dent of the United States, for that mat ter. Again I ask for an explanation ; what is the "theory" of the gentlemen named, to which the "Republican" takes exception? INQUIRER. B a r Although the Secessionists and the Abolitionists seem to pall in different di rections, their tails, like those of Samp son's foxes, are joined with firebrands, to wrap the country in names. ARRESTED. Dr. Edson B: Olds, of Lancaster, Ohio, was arrested on Wednesday n' t, on a warrant signed by C. P. , Assist ant Secretary of War, whi ated the Cause to be disloyalty, using treasonable language and interfering with enlistments. It was placed in the hands of W. P. Scott, of the National Detective Police, and an assistant. The arrest was made at 10 p. in., Dr. Olds being in bed at the time.— Resistance was offered, and the chamber dOor had to be broken open. A crowd was raised by the cry of "fire," and some threats were made of rescue, but none at tempted. Olds attempted to throttle the assistant detective, but was compelled to desist by the presentation of a loaded pis tol by Scott. The prisoner was afforded time to pack a change of clothing. The only other parties in the house were his daughter and son-in-law, who were bitter in denunciation. The crowd collected by the cry of fire were about equally divided for and against the arrest. One man, as the party left the house, asked Olds if they should rescue. llis name was taken, and Scott threatened to shoot the first man.who made the attempt.
