Thursday Afternoon, September 11, 1869.
The War.
Telegraphic dispatches and other information
direct from Hagerstown state that some two
hundred rebel cavalry entered that town this
morning, but we are entirely in the dark as to
their behavior. The main army, however, had
been encamped below Boonesboro, and was
evidently moving towards• Harpers Ferry with
an intention of attacking Geri. White and
Gen. Miles at Harper's Ferry.
Capt. Palmer's soouting party is doing effec
tive service and reports the rebel movements
accurately. The roads to Waynesboro, Frank
lin county are picketed. Affairs here are work
ing favorably. Large quantities of amunition
arrived here to-day, and will at once be proper
ly distributed. If the rebels should invade
Pennsylvania we have no fear of the result.
Annihilation will be the watchword, and we
guarantee it being carried out. The rebels may
enter our rich valley, but their dead bodies will
be left to enrich its soil.
TEE SITLATIOX.
It is useless to disguise the fact, that our peo
ple have been alarmed, within a day or two
past, at the conflicting and seemingly exagger
ated accounts which have reached us concerning
the rebel raids in Maryland, and the menaces
which have been made on our own borders.—
But this alarm is not stimulated by fear. It is
the alarm which rouses to action. It is the note
of danger which creates soldiers on the instant
and elicitits the courage and establishes the
fortitude of men. And yet, while communi
ties and the commonwealth are thus alarmed at
what the rebels are doing, no one seems to think it
worth while to pause and inquire what the
government is doing. Where is McClellan ?
Are Banks, Wool, Seigel, Rieno and their gal
lant-hosts idle ? The very suggestion of such
Claims should allay fear; but not arrest pre
potation on the part of the people. We are
expected to second the struggles of thearmy in
tha field. - The people are invited to area that they
my be in time to share in the glory of striking the last
blow at the rebellion—the blow that is to end it forever.
Wemlyfeel perfectly confident that the gov
ernment is not idle in this time of peril, but
thafit is doing all it can to meet the foe, and
punish him. We shall know in all good time
that the government is not indifferent or idle.
In, the meantime, troops by thousands are
marching to the seat of war. A new army of
three hundred thousand men will be in the
field before a week is over probably. Let us
not give way to, foolish panics, but breast the
storm like men resolving that we can and will
conquor.
To ANY cam= OBBERVNEL of rebel movements
ever since the commencement of the war, it is
readily evident that a very important part in
these movements has been taken by the rebel
cavalry. We may not have thought about it
at the time, yet, upon looking back, the record
of facts will show, that the cavalry expeditions
of the enemy, apart from the brilliancy, which
fp, themselves they assumed, have more than
anything else contributed to whatever of sue
dies the rebels have achieved. We mention
Aldo fact particularly because it is just here that
the South has shown a remarkable superiority
and gained en important advantage over our
selves.
Hos. JOHN J. PATTimic..N, as the candidate in
this Congressional district, is highly spoken of
by our cotemporaries in other districts. The
Boilaryaburg ilegitlir very courteously refers to
Col. Patterson, and declares that his many
warm personal and political friends will be grat
ified to learn that he has been nominated as ,a
candidate for Congress in the district composed
of Dauphin, Juniata, Northumberland, Snyder
and Union. This secures to the next Congress
another loyal man, one who is well versed in
legislation, having served with acceptance in
the State Legislature.
Tux government ie uslog all the contrabands
that am be found. More are wanted than we
now have.

THE RECENT BATTLE IN VIR-
GINI &
REPORT OF WOR-GENERA.L POPE.
EIPULDVARTNPO ARMY OF YOWINIA.,
September 8, 1862,„
Gineral :—I. have the honor to submit the fol
lowing brief sketch of the operations of this
army since the 9th of August :
I moved from Sperryville, Little Washington
and Warrenton,
with the corps of Banks and
Sigel and one division of McDowell's corps,
numbering in all thirty-two thousand men, to
meet the enemy, who had crossed the Rapidan,
and was advancing on Culpepper. The move
ment toward Gordomprilk had completely suc
ceeded in drawing off a large force from Rich
mond, and in relieving the army of the Potomac
from much of the danger which threatened its
withdrawal from the Peninsula.
The action of Aug. 9, at Cedar Mountain,
with the forces under Jackson, which compell
ed his retreat across the Rapidan, made neces
sary still further reinforcements of the enemy
from Richmond; and' by this time, it being
apparent from the army of the Potomac was
evacuating the Peninsula, the whole force of
the enemy concentrated around Richmond was
pushed forward with great rapidity to crush
the army of Virginia before the forces evacua
ting the Peninsula could be united with it.
I remained at Cedar Mountain and still threat
ened to cross the Rapidan, until the 17th of
August by . which time Gen. Robert Lee had as
sembled in my front, and within eight miles
nearly tho whole rebel army. As soon as I
ascertained this fact and knew that the army
of the Potomac was no longer in danger, I
drew back my whole force across the Rappa
hannock, on the night of the 17th and day of
the 18th, without - um of any kind, and one day
in athance of Lee's supposed movement against
me. The enemy immediately appeared in my
front at Rappahannock Station, and attempted
to pass the river at that bridge, and the nu
merons fords above and below, but without
success.
The line of the upper Rappahannock, which
I had been ordered to hold, that the enemy
might be delayed long enough in his advance
upon Washington to enable the forces from the
Peninsula to land and effect a junction with
me, was very weak, as it could be crossed al
most any point above the railroad bridge by
good fords.
By constant vigilance and activity, and much
severe fighting for three days, the enemy was
gradually forced around from-the railroad cross
ing to Waterloo Bridge,west of Warrenton.
Meantime my force had een much diminished
by actual loss in battle, and by fatigue and ex
posure so that, although I had been joined by
a detachment under General Reno and the
other division of McDowell's corps, my force
barely numbered 40,000 men.
On the a heavy rain fell, which render
ed the fords impassable for twenty-four hours.
As soon as I discovered this, I concentrated my
forces and marched rapidly upon Sulphur
Springs and Waterloo Bridge to drive back the
forces of the enemy, which had succeeded in
crossing at these points. This was successfully
done, and the bridges pestroyed.
I passed one day—or rather part of one—at
Warrenton and beyond. The enemy still con
tinued to move slowly around along the river,
masking every ford with artillery and heavy
forces of infantry, so that it was impossible for
use to admit him, even with the greatly inferior
forces under my command, without passing the
river over fords strongly guarded, in the face of
superior numbers.
The movements of Jackson toward White
Plains and in the direction of Thoroughfare
Gap, while the main body of the enemy CAL
fronted ma at-Salplane- Springs and Waterloo
Bridge was wet. known to me, but I relied con
fidently upon the forcee which I bad been assur
e./ would be sent from Alexandria, and one
stray division of which I hid ordered to take
post on the work at Manassas Junction, I was
entirely under the belief that these would be
there, and it was not until 1 found my commu
nication intercepted that I was undeceived.
I knewlhat this movement was no raid, and
that ii was made by n ,- )t, lass than twenty-five
thousand men, under Jackson. By this time
the army corps of Heintz°!man ' about 10,000
strong, had reached Warrenton Junction; one
division of it, I think, on the very day of the
raid ; but they came without artillery, with
only forty rounds of ammunition to the man,
without wagons, and even the field and general
officers without horses.
Fitz John Porter also arrived at Bristow Sta
tion, near Rappahannock, with one of his di
visions, 4,600 strong, whilst his other division
was still at l3arnett's and Kirby's Ford. • I di
rected that corps, 8,600 strong, to concentrate
immediately at Warrenton Junction, where
Heiutzelman already was. This was accom
plished on the evening of the —th.
As soon as it became known to me that Jack
son was on the railroad, it became apparent
that the upper Rappahannock was no longer
tenable. I could not detach a sufficient force
to meet Jackson, and at the same time attempt
to confront the main body of the enemy. I ac
cordingly at once evacuated Warrenton and
Warrenton Junction, directing McDowell, with
his own corps andfilgel's, and the divisions of
Reynolds, to march rapidly to the turnpike
upon Gainesville, so as to intercept any rein
forcements coming to Jackson through Thor
oughfare Gap, and instructing Reno with his
command, and Kearney with one division of
Heintzelman's, to march on Greenwich, so as
to support McDowell in case of necessity.
I moved back along the railroad upon Ma
nassas Junction. Near Kettle Run, Hooker
came upon the advance - of Ewell's Division on
the afternoon of the 27th. A severe action
took place, which" terminated at dark. Ewell
being driven, from the field with the loss of his
camp and three hundred killed and wounded.
The unfortunate oversight of not bringing more
than forty rounds of ammunition became at
once alarming. At nightfall Hooker had but
about five rounds to the man.
As soon as I learned this I sent back orders
to Fitz John Porter to march with his corps at
one o'clock that night so as to be with Hooker
at daylight in the morning. The distance was
only nine miles, and he received the despatch
at 9.60 o'clock, but did not reach the ground
until after ten o'clock next morning. He can
probably explain better than I can the reason
of this delay.
Fortunately Hooker had handled the army
so severely the evening before, and the move
ment of McDowell had begun to be so apparent
that the enemy, fearing of being surrounded,
had retreated precipitately from Manassas Junc
tion, directing his retreat through Centreville,
as McDowell, Reno and Kearny had made the
road through Gainesville impracticable.
I immediately pushed forward to Manassas,
and thence to Centreville, which was occupied
by Keatney that night only a few hours atter
the enemy had left it. Reno had reached Man-
ROWS Junction, and Fitz John Porter was im
mrdiately ordered up from Broad Run where
he had stopped.
IdcDoweit'e movement, conducted with vig
or and speed, had been completely successful,
the enemy being intercepted at Gainesville,
and part of his forces driven back through
Thoroggfare Gap. Late in the evening of the
—McEfowell's advance (Gibbon's Brigade) . met
the force of Jackson retiring from Centreville,
and about six miles from that place. A very
smart skirmish took place, ended by the dark
ness, in which the brigade of Gibbon be
haved very handsoinely, and suffered heavy
loss.
kligle was close at hand vith his corps,but
did not join the action. I instructed Kearney
to move forward at early dawn towards 014 nm,
villa, closely followed by Hookeillind lieso,and
pennegluania 4tE tlegrapb, ClAtroban 'afternoon, September 11, 1861
engage the enemy thus placed between Mc-
Dowell and Sigel on the west and Fitz John
Porter on the south. I also instructed Fitz
John Porter' with hie Own corps, and King's
Division of McDowell's corps, which had from
soma reason fallen back from the Warrenton
turnpike toward Manassas Junction, to move
at daylight in the morning upon Gainesville,
along the Manassas Gap • railroad, until they
communicated closely With :the forces under
Heintzelman and Sigel, cautioning them not to
go further than was necessary to effect this junc
tion, as we might be obliged to retire behind
Bull Run that.night for subsistence, If nothing
else.
Heintzelman marched early from Centreville
towards Gainesville, closely followed by Beno.
Meantime, shortly after daylight, Sigel's and
Reynolds's division of M'Dowell's ;toms had be•
come engaged with theetiemy; who was brought
to a stand, and he was soon joined by Heintzel
man and Reno, when the whole line became
actively engaged.
Porter marched as directed, followed by
King's Division, which was by this time joined
by Rickett's Division, which had been forced
back from Thoroughfare Gap by the heavy
forces of the enemy advancing , tosupport Jack
' •
BOIL
As soon as I found that the enemy hadleen
brought to a halt, and was being vigorenaly
attacked along the Warrenton Turnpike,l sent
orders to McDowell to advance rapidly on the
left and attack the enemy in his flank, extend
ing his right to meet 'Reynold's left, and to
Fitz John Porter to keep his right well closed
on McDowell's left, and to attack the enemy
in flank and rear, while he was pushed infront.
This would have made the line of McDowell
and Porter at right angles to that of tbe, other
forces engaged.
The action raged furiously all day, McDow
ell, although previously in the rear of Porter
bringing his whole corps on the field in the af
ternoon, and taking a conspicous part in that
days operations. To my surprise and disap
pointment, I received late in the afternoon
from. Porter a note saying that his advance had
met the enemy on the flank in some force, and
that he was retiring upon Manassas Junction
without engaging or coming to the assistance
of our other forces, although they were engag
ed in a furious action only two miles distant,
and in full hearing of him. A portion of his
force fell back towards Manassas, and he re
mained, as he afterwards told me, where he
was looking at the enemy during the whole of
the afternoon of Friday and part of Friday
night, passing over in plain view *reinforce
the troops under Jackson without an effort to
prevent it or wastrel.
One at least of his brigades, under Gen.
Griffin, got round to Centreville and remained
there durinithe wiii:Act. of the next day's bat
tle, without coming on the field, though in full
view of the battle which was raging, whilst
Gen. Griffin himself spent the day in making
ill-natured strictures upon the General com
manding the action, in the presence of a pro
miscuous assemblage.
Darkness closed the action on Friday, the
enemy being driven back from his positions by
Heintzelman's corps and Reno, concluded by
a furious attack along the turnpike by King's
division of McDowell's corps, leaving his dead
and wounded on the field.
Ido not hesitate, to say that the corps of
Porter had attacked . the enemy in flank'on the
afternoon of Fridair, as he had my written or
der to do, we should utterly have cru6hedJack
son before .the forces under Lee could have
reached him. Why he dicLnot do so I cannot
understand. -
our men, much worn down by bard service
and continuous fighting for many previous
days, and very abort of provisions, rested on
their guns. Our horses had had no forage for
two days. I had telegraphed and written ur
gently for rations and forage to be scut us, but
on Saturday morning, 'be'fore the 'ration was re
sumed, I received a letter from General Frank
in, written the day before at Alexandria,
stating to me that he had been directed by
Gen. McClellan to inform me that rations and
forage for my command would be loaded into
the cars and available wagons as soon as I would
send a cavalry escort to Alexandria to bring
them up. All hope of being able to maintain
my position, whether victorious or not, van
ished with this letter. My cavalry was utterly
broken down by long and constant service in
the face of the enemy, and, bad as they were,
could not be spared from the front, even if there
had been time to go back thirty miles to Alex
andria and await the leading of trains. At the
time this letter was written Alexandria was
swarming with troops and my whole aimy iil:-
terposed between myself and the enemy. lat
once understood that we must, if possible, finish
what we had:to do that day, as night must see
us behind Bull Run if we wished to save men
and animals from starvation.
On Friday night I sent a pre-emptory order
to Gen. Porter to bring his command on the
field, and report to me in person within three
hours after he received the order. A portion
he brought up, but, as I before stated, one of
his brigades remainedithe whole day at Centre
ville, and was not in the engagement. The
enemy's heavy reinforcements having reached
him on Friday afternoon and night, he began
to MAW on his right for the purpose of crushing
our left and occupying the road to Centreville
in our rear. His heaviest, assault was made
about five o'clock in the afternoon, when, after
overwhelming Fitz John Porter and driving his
forces back on the centre and left, mass after
mass of his forces ware pushed against our left.
A terrific contest, with great slaughter, was
carried on for several hours, our men beh avingi
with firmness and gallantry under the imme
diate command of General McDowell. When
night closed our left had been forced back
about half a mile, but still remained fir , n and
unshaken, while our right held its ground.
General Franklin with his corps arrived
after dark at Centreville, six miles in our rear,
while Sumner wittVfour mild behind Franklin.
I could have brought up these corps in the
morning in time to have renewed the action,
but starvation stared both men and horstis in
the face, and broken and exhausted as they
were, they were in no condition to bear hunger
also. I accordingly retiretplo Centreville.that
night in perfect order.
Neither on Sunday nor on Monday did the
enemy make any advance upon us. On Mon
day I sent to the army corps commanders for
their effective strength, which all told, inclu
ding Sumner and Franklin fell short of sixty
thousand men. Instead of bringing up thirty
thousand men, Franklin and Sumner united,
fell short of twenty thousand, and these added
to the force I had, already wearied out,and
much out up, did not give me the minim; to
anything else than stand on the defence.
The enemy during Monday, again began to
work slowly around to our right for the pur-
pose of possessing Fairfax Court House, -and
thus turning our rear.
Couch's division and one brigade of Sumner's
had been left there, and I sent down Hooker on
Monday afternoon to take command and post
himself at or in front of Germantown, at, the
same time directing McDowell to take position
along the turnpike from Centreville to FaVox
Court House, about two miles west of the latter
place.
Heintlseman was directed to post himself in
rear and support of Reno, who was preihed
north of the road, at a. point about two and a
half miles east of Centreville, and to cover that
road, it being my purpose, in the course otthe
eight, to mass my command on the right; in
the dinction of Germintown, where I felt Con
vinced the attrick.of the enemy would be mile.
Late in the afternoon of Monday, the enlmy
made h.e demonstration upon Germantowodbut
was met by Hookeltit thit place, and: by.Re i no,
reinfoiced by llearitey, further west. The bat
tle was very severe,lhough short, the tin,my
being driven back mile with heavy lose, lisw
ing his dead arid wounded. In this short ac
tion we lost two of our most valuable and die
tleguished officers, Generals Kearney and Ste
vens.
By moving, the whole of the command was
massed behind a.difficult creek, between Flint
Hill and the tairenton Junction, with the ad
vance, under' H6Qkeri in - front of German
town.
With the- exception cif Sunmer, the com
manders of the army corps of the Army of the
Potomac had continued to inform me that their
commands were and had been demoralized ever
Since they left Harrison's Landing ; that they
bad no spirit and no disposition to fight. This
latter statement their conduct in the various
actions fully contradicted, but the straggling
in those corps was distressing.
The full , facts having been reported, 0
ortTnead'ay afternoon, to retire to the intrench
menta near Washington, which was according
ly donci on that day and the next, In good or
der and without the slightest loss.
Banks, who bad been left with the railroad
trains, cut off at Bristol by the burning of the
bridge, was ordered to join me on Monday at
Centreville, which he did on the afternoon of
that day.
This brief summary will explain sufficiently
in detail ,the whole of the operations of the
forces under my coMmind, during sixteen days
of continueus fighting by day and marching by
night.
To confrcinka powerful • enemy with greatly
infCrior forces, and fight him day by day with
out losing your army ; to delay and embarrass
his movements, and to force him, by i persistent
resistance, to adopt long and cironitous routes
to'his destiaation are the duties which have
been imposed upon me. They are, of all mili
tary operations, the most difficult and the most
harrasing, both to the commander and to his
troops.
How far we have been successful I leave to
the judgment of my countrymen. The armies
of Virginia and of the Potomac have been
united in the presence and against the efforts
of a wary and vigorous enemy in greatly supe
rior force to either, with no loss for which they
did not exact full retribution.
Among the officers whom I feel bound to
mention-with especial . gratittnie, for their most
hearty, cordial and untiring zeal and energy,
are Generals McDowell, Banks, Reno, Helot
zelman, Hooker and Kearney, and many others
of inferior rank, whom I shall take great satis
faction in bringing to the notice of the Gov
ernment.
The troops have exhibited wonderful patience
and courage, and I cannot say too much for
them.
