Here is the style in which the Picograte ar

of the capture of Sharman's battery
It is reliably stated, by undoubted authority,
that wherithe 'news reached Washington of the
capture of Sherman's battery, Gen. Scott pri
vatelY ordered six cannon to lbe taken from the
navy yard and sent to the neighborhood of Al
exandria, with horses which were brought back,
with the atnouncement that Sherman's battery
had - hot fallen into the hands of the 'enemy.

The Wallington Republic states that General'
Banks's army is at HaxPer's Ferry, alineet en

Gen. Pop's programme is to be one of a

of 80,000 at Springfield to operate against

The reported capture of 80,000 handcuffs
among the enemy's baggage turns out to be
'true. I have myielf seen two wagons loads of
them. The prisoners, however, continue stout
ly to deny the fact. Some of the officers admit
that there were a, few along, but they were de
signed for their own , men. The truth, no doubt,
is, they were designed for the " rebels." And
it is iii perfect keeping with the whole unhal
lowed war, its object, its aims, and the mode
and manner in which it has thus far been car
ried on. We ate looked upon and' styled reb

Among the most interesting, trophies of the
battle are the flags taken from the enemy,
which have all been collected together at head
quarters, and present a splendid sight. The
number is very great, of every size and descrip
tion, from the little guide np to the splendid
silk. regimental banner, presented by the North
ern ladies on the departure of the regiment to
the wars. Of course they all promised never to
return without them.
Immense numbers of fancy -swords, sword
belts, pistols, epaulettes, &c., have also come
into the posseation of the victors. Many of
these also have the appearance of being pre
sents, some of them are so inscribed, and of

the Democratic party can again get possession
of the government, the war will be ended by a
recognition of the Southern Confederacy.

Wssnoterros, Aug. 18.
On Friday night a new battery, concealed in
the woods, which bad been erected by the rebels
at a point a mile or two below Acquia Creek,
suddenly opened fire on the United States
steamer Pocahontas with rifled cannon. Al
though she tvaa nearly four miles off, the balls
went through her rigging, splintered the vessel
and came near killing an officer. It was Me
lees to return the fire, and the Pocahontas
speedily got out of the way.
Her officers were entirely urw.ware of the ex
istence of the battery, which makes the *mirth
already discovered at that place, its situation
Is very near the shore of the river. The Poca
hontas was obliged to withdraiv in consequence
of her inability to return the fire effectually.
Our officers report that unless the government
takes immediate action to expel the rebels from
these positions on the banks of the river, navi
gation will be completely closed. The enemy's
batteries already command a large patt of the
Potomac.
The officers of the Potoiltic flotilla have uo
doubt that the rebels are erecting a battery at
Matthias Point. .
The decoy boat which led to the sad affair of
Mat Thursday, was evidently placed there for the
purpose of destroying - Lieut. Budd, of the Reso

burned s house near that place some time slum.

They were returned by Capt. Da►ls' detachment,
and three of the rebels were seen to fall from

immediately drums were heard sounding at
44toondale, showing that a rebel force to Ow
tioned there.
The rebel troops have nearly all fallen back
to Fairfax Court Rouse, thus widening the dis
tance separating the hostile forces. The pickets
of both armies, however, occupy nearly the
same advanced positions as heretofore.
Two 'regiments of rebel troops are .quertered
at Fall's Church, Virginia.
The rail cause of ex-Minister Faulkner's ar
