We refer the reader to our columns foi to-day, for a variety of war news, received by mail and telegraph. It is obscure, con fused and unsatisfactory, so much so as tc baffle all efforts to make it intelligible. This is the consequence of the late ot- dare, preventing newspaper correspond ents from entering their lines. Since that boundary order was given we have not received a single thorough and truthful account of the army's operations in Vir ginia, and the last transmitted giving an account of the most important news of engagements since the rebellion began is the most confused and unsatisfactory of them all. We infer from th;s effort of the war department to bamboosle the people together with what appears at all intel ligible from other sources, that our armiee during the last few days have not been at all successful. CYRUS P. MARBLE, Esq Alluding to the address of the mongrol horde of ragged politicians who used Mr. Markle's name to give respectability tc• their column and a half of falsehoods, de• nosinated an address, the Post of Friday last remarked : - "Mr. Markle should not allow such po litical highwaymen to prostitute his re spectable name to any such wicked and culpable purpose. He knows that the sen timents of this vile address are not his, and he should, in justice to himself, to his friends, and to the scoundrels who used hi, nano! to give respect abi!ity to this infamous production, disavow it at once and for over." Commenting upon fain expression of concern for the reputation of s respectable Ilan, who had, like the one ofiericho, nn expectedly fallen among thieves, that leather headed concern, the Pittsburgh Graeae, remarks: • " A greaser insult to a respectable man was never uttered by that proverbially vile sheet. While pretending to respect Gen Markle, the editor of the Post foully stabs his reputation, by charging him with being a hypocrite, and a tool of others." These chaps who control the Gazette being all engaged in assessing and collect ing taxes the reader must not be sur prised at the paragraph we have quo ted. They have no time to write sense. Our solicitude for an honorable man being in association with such blistered wretches as Forney and Lauman is construed into an insult to him. The Gazette consenting, to have Mr. Markle's name published as chairman of a committee composed of such political banditti as some of those be longing to it, demonstrates very clearly its anxiety to save it from contamination. Its. late State Convention was a gathering of cast away politicians; its State Central Committee is.principally of the same sort: and this is the reason why they find . it ne cessary to obtain a respectable name in order to give some character to their pro ductions. Why don't Forney and Lauman print their falsehoods over their own vile signature? Answer that, Master Brook.

Chief, Washington:—We fought a terrific cattle yesterday, with the combined forces if the enemy, which lasted with continu ms fury from daylight until after dark, by which time the enemy was driven from the field, which we now occupy.

We have lost no less than eight thous tnd men in killed and wounded, and from the appearance of the field the enemy's loss is at least two to our one. He stood strictly on tho defensive, and every assault was made by ourselves. Our troops behaved splendidly. The battle was fought on the identical battle field of Bull Run, which fact great ly increased the enthusiasm of our men. The news just reaches me from the front that the enemy is retreating towards the mountains. Igo forward at once to see. We in.ve made great capture; but f am not able yet to form an idea of their I ow( Pope. Maj. Gen. ALEXANDRIA, August 110.-11. P. M.— There has been much excitement here to day, growing out of the movetnonts of the rebels at Manassas' Junction, Fairfax Court House, and along the line of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. The rumors afloat are of the most contradicto ry character, and troops have been push• •ed forward front here as fast a.. 1 they are landed from the transports. Gen. McClellan visited Washington last evening and had an interview with the President and General Halleck, and it is said was tendered and has accepted the command of the whole army of Virginia. Hels here to-day, and it is said has as• me d the command, and is making such disposition of the forces at his command as is calculated to check the rebel army in the bold dash they arc making for the National Capital. It is difficult to say what is the lethal condition of affairs iu the neighlearhoodsd Nlanassas and Fairfax; the fugitives corn ing in represent that we have met with a most serious disaster. 11 •omen. children and contrabands are flocking in from the vicinity of Fairfax. and there seenis to be no doubt but that the rebel cavalry have visited that place. They say that they fled on their ap proach. and that a large conflagration was visible in that direction, probably the de struction by the rebels a the Government stores. It is also said that they have de stroyed the railroad bridge r..er A , .cotink creek, five miles this side of F,:;rfl.x. ' There seems to be no doubt that they bad not only full possession of Manassas Junction and Bull Ran, but also of Cen treville; and it is rumored they have cap tured two of the four New Jersey regi ments that were stationed at Centreville. Thefightingbrigade of General hooker, which was pushed forward yesterday by General McClellan, is reported this even ing to have checked the advance of the enemy at Centreville, and driven them back to Manassas Juction, of er some se vere fighting. This is generally credited, though no cannonading has been heard at the front to-day. Ia the meantime the army of General Pope is beyond Manassaa, and unless it can cut its way through the rebel forces at Manassas, is entirely cut off from Wash ington. as well as that of General Burn side and the corps of General Porter, which was landed at Asquia creek. That they will soon open a way for themselves there can be no doubt. The rebel forces that have made this ex ' tensive raid in the rear of General Pope are understood to be all cavalry, under the command of Col. Lee. Whist the skirmishing was going on across the Rappahannock, and the rebels were making it. appear as if they were de termined to advance with their main body on Washington by that route, it is now as certained that they were marching with their main body around the head waters of the Rappahannock, at the base of the Blue Ridge, and are now actually massing their troops at White Plains, and have taken possession of Thoroughfare Gap, fully ten miles north of Manassas. The cavalry 1 1 raid on Fairfax is said to have been made from this direction, so that the main body of the rebel army is now in a position either to advance on the Potomac by way of Leesburg, or direct on Washington through the Gap, as circumstances may warrant, It is also said that a message reached here this afternoon by way of A.cqaa Creek and the river, from General Burnside, an nouncing that the Rebel force of General Ewell has penetrated in the rear of Gene nil Pope and occupies the left bank of the Occoquan river. This would seem to be almost impossible, but it is generally cred ited here. Those who have been endeavoring to make it apparent that Gen. McClellan had an interior force to contend with before Richmond are now satisfied that the rebel army is fully equal, if not superior in num bers, to the entire combined forces of, Pope, McClellan and Burnside. The announcement tt at Gen. McClellan I has been assigned to the command of the entire army has given great satisfaction to both the troops here and our loyal citiaens. He is at work with his usual energy, and it is hoped he will be able to bring snccess out of what now appears so disastrous. The rebel army is entirely cut off from its base of operations and source of supplies, and is penetrating a region of country where subsistence is very scarce. A large force is now marching to meet them and to assist in opening the way to Pope and Burnside. If successful, he will doubtless place the rebel army in a worse position than that which the main body of our troops is now to t as they can, if neces sary, fall back to Fredericksburg, and reach Washington by the river. On the other hand, if Jackson is cut off I his army may be scattered and destroyed. The movement of the enemy is a bold, but most hasardous one.

The location of the battle of the day was in the vicinity of Haymarket, and from Haymarket off in the direction lof Sudley Church, or in other words, but a few miles North-west of the scene of the never to be forgotten battle of Bull Run. Heintaleman's corps, if we are correctly informed, came up with the enemy's rear at about ten o'clock A. cc, eleven miles from Centreville, which point he left 'at daybreak. He found Jackson's command fighting with McDowell or Sigel, or both, on the right in the direction of Haymarket. This position they took by going North from Gainesville to command the entrance and the exit from Thoroughfare Gap. Our own informant, a cool, clear-headed man, who left Centreville at four r. sc., says that up to that hour the impression prevailed there that nothing definite had resulted from the jay's fight. Though continuous, it had not been a bloody battle. Persons subsequently arriving, who were on the field of action themselves until four P. N. represent on the other hand that the tide of success was decidedly with the Union army, whichpushed the rebels successfully on both sides. An impression prevails that the reserve of Lee's army, supposed to he from twenty to forty thousand strong. might suddenly appear near the field, and we know that the heavy corps under Fitz John Porter was so posted that it could instantly move upon Lee with equal ease. whether he was attaokingMcDowell, or Ileintzleman. The railroad, we are happy to be able to say, has already been repaired quite up to Bull Run, and supplies, &c.,_ are now being transported over it to that point. By midnight we have every reason to be lieve that the Bull Ran bridge will be pass able, when the trains can run to Manassas: Ere the evacuation of Manassas, on the day before yesterday, the rebels paroled the 700 Union prisoners they had taken since the commencement of the movement, tor which they are paying sodearly. They realised that prisoners in the present strait were but an elephant on their hands and wisely got rid of them. These 700 cover ed ail the stragglers they had taken, as well as tie.soo of Gen.

Wadsworth has taken possos• sine of all the hacks in this city and sent them forward as a train to transport the sick and wounded to this city. The following intelligence is * gathered 'min private sources: On Tuesday eight a report reached 'arreuton junction that. Jackson was again in our rear, and that instead of ma king an attack and retiring as his cavalry did oa Friday night last at Catlett's sta tion. he had taken up a position on the railroad, near Bristow, four miles south of Manassas, and had burned two railroad 'trains, torn up the track, cut the telegraph and taken prisoners all the guards along the road. These reports prove to have been true, and the events of Wednesday show his de termination not to he easily driven from the neighborhood. It seems from what can be learned from the rebel wounded on our hands, that Jackson and liwell started from the vicin ity of Warrenton Springs on Sunday, with , three divisions—crossed the Rappahan• nock some six miles south of the Blue Ridge, and proceeded by way of Orleans • and Sidem to Bristow, making the dis tance in about two and a half days. On reaching this point, their first object of attack was the house of Mr. Liscomb, where ten federal officers were stopping, and who were at ;he time sitting on the back porch, smoking. The house was at tacked both front and rcar, and the bullet holes in the wood and p laster, with the tact that none of the party were wounded, shows what poor marksmen these cavalry are. The entire party, however, with the exception of Capt. 0. A. Tildemon, were taken prisoners. The Captain escaped to the garret and finding a snug little hole, succeeded in escaping their vigilance, tho they made a thorough search all over the house. He lay concealed all day, and only emerged from his hiding place when the battle was progressing and our brave boys were driving the enemy past the house. The names of the officers taken prison ers are as follows : Lieut. Col. Pierson, let N. Y. volunteers; Lieut. . Allen and two other Lieutenants of the came regi ment; a Lieut. of the 57th Pa. The Ist Lieut. of Co. 11, 105th Pa. volunteers, a Capt. of the 4th N. y., and Limits, John son and Pendergrast, of the 38th N. y. volunteers, Their next attack was upon a company of the 15th Pa. infantry and some dozen Penn's cavalry,left to guard the road, two or three of whom were killed and the re mainder are supposed to be captured. A train of empty cars then came along from Washington and was fired into by a regi ment of infantry and one of cavalry, but escaped without serious injury. Orders were then issued by Jackson to tear up the track , which was done , and the second. train coming along ran off and, was fired into; a third train following, ran into the second and was also fired into and some persons on board were taken priwners.— ' A fourth train made its appearance, but the engineer, suspecting something was wrong, stopped at a distance and blew a 1 whistle. He was answered by an engi neer on one of the ill-fated trains and he immediately reversed his engine and re turned towards Washington.

Oar troops that were sent down from Warrenton Junction to attack them, con sisted of Hooker's division with aportion of Kearney's, but the latter, it is said, did not get a chance to enter into the contest. Gen. Hooker was in command and, not expecting the enemy in any large force, ordered achiuge through a piece of woods End into the cleared space, when a mur derous fire was opened from the entire line of the enemy, the batteries throwing grape and canister, the most of which, however, went over the heads of our troops, but the fire from the lines of the infantry was very destructive and some of the regiments were compelled to fall back to the woods—on being supported by other troops, however, they rallied, and after firing several volleys, repeated the charge, when the rebels broke and retreated, our brave boys pursuing them, shouting and yelling. The Third New Jersey brigade was com manded by Col. Carr, who had his horse shot while riding across the field urging his men on to the attack; this isthebrigade, although somewhat changed, which so nobly held the extreme left at the battle of Williamsburg for four hours, sustaining a loss of over six hundred killed and wound ! ed. Adjutant Benedict's horse was also shot during the action. Lieut. Cot. Pot ter. commanding the second regiment Ex celsior Brigade, was shot in the hand while leading his men. The pursuit was continued till dark. The enemy retreat ing towards Manassas. fhe result of this action was that the enemy was driven from the field, sustain ing a loss about equal to our own. Oar loss was about fifty killed and over 200 wounded, a complete list of which was collected but stolen. The Second New York regiment lost about ten officers and some ninety or a hundred privates in killed and wounded. The Excelsior bri gade suffered severely. Dr. Marrar, of the second New Hampshire, being the only name recollected, exerted themselves to relieve the wounded, and although the ac• commodations to operate were poor, they succeeded during the afternoon and even ing in attending to all. (.hn. Pope arrived on the ground late in the evening and proceeded toward the scene of action, but the fighting was then over and the enemy iu full retreat. Jack son had left, for Manassas during the day with his division, where he pillaged the' place, capturing a large number of pris oners and burning every building except the telegraph oftice and a ti•w shanties: and all the amtnunition and whatever they could carry away out nt the cars, about a b utt dred of which were at the place, for the greater part loaded with suppiies for (nir army.

They immediately attacked them. Our troops defended theznaelves for some time, but finding the number of th e enemy so great that they were being flanked and probably surrounded. they retreated to ward Centreville and got away with a loss of some forty wounded and about twelve' killed. The enemy captured e - , of tio.m, but they were paroled yerdwrday morning. just before the battle commenced. The pursuit was continued toward Centreville. in Thursday afternoon a squadron of the 2,1 Pennsylvania. with Gen.

The rebels then rose en masse from behind the ,railroad track and again caused our men to fall back, which they did behind Hemp iton's Pittsburgh battery. This battery then 'opened upon the rebels a territlic fire. The enemy were at the time only distant about thirty yards, and the eil'ect of the fire de stroyed at least six hundred of them. In this action, however, Hampton lost one of his guns. lie had to change his position to the left, as he was unable to maintain himself under the fire which was poured into hint. The battle in other quarters raged furiously, tbegeneral result of which has been stated from other sources. The position of the forces on Thursday night remained about the seine as it was at the commencement of the action. The loss on both sides was heavy. Midnight—Gen. Duryea, while engaged in making a reconnoisance to-day, was wounded in the hand. The fighting up to twelve o'clock to-day w•rs of a desultory character. We occupy the ground where the rebels had buried their dead. WASHINGTON, Aug. 39.—Information has reached Washington from private sour ces that Gen. Pope came up with and at tacked the enemy again shortly after 9 o'- clock this morning. Fitz John Porter had probably by that time arrived on the field from Manassas, which was only seven miles distant. The news received to-day from the army has occasioned great excitement through out the city. Orders were issued by the heads of the different bureaus, calling up- ' on the employees to repair to the battle field for the purpose of attending to our wounded. The order required each man to provide himself with two days' rations A prompt response was made to the ca. and not only persons employed by thl government, but many others left the city for the purpose stated. Although the en. gagement with the enemy is 01 an appal lingly sanguinary character, yet the con fidence of the Union men in the skill and *strength dour army is such an abiding faith is everywhere discernable in our ul timate success. The President and Secretary of the Treasury were closely engaged today in completing the appointments under the excise and direct law. - . The prisoners released from the ord cap- ital, last night, vociferously cheered the officers in charge for the kind treatment they had received. The Provost Marshal and Major nosier are, making arrangements for the reception a of large number of prisoners expected from Washington to-day. Gen. Schenck arrived to-day, having been wounded severely in the wrist in the battle of yesterday. Intense anxiety exists in the hotels and streets to gather inci dents of the fights, but the reports are so indefinite up to noon to-day as not to jus tify their repetition.

The bridges 'across the river have been blowen up, as well as the iron foundry at Freder ieksbur* which was nude use of by our ; forces for military work. Gen.

Among tionn is NI r. Hunnicutt. editor of the Fred ! erieksburg Mtnner, who brought away his printing materials. The road from Fred erieksburg to Acluia Creek presented a carious spectacle to-day, overtfow,A us it was with a great amount of freight of various sorts, seeking passage ; boxes, bar- Trio, sutlers' stores of all kinds, broken vehicles and dead horses are piled by the road side miscellaneously, as wherever a breakdown of wagons has occurred the horses have been removed and th-.. wreck dumped over to take its chances. Our troops are in excellent spirits and confidently expecting great things in the way of union successes. The cannonading was distinctly heard in Washington to-day. The railroad was regularly run this morning from Warrenton to Bristow, so that it is already clear. It is said that the only damage remaining to be repaired on the railroad is to rebuild the Bull Run and Rappahannock bridges. The former should be completed tonight and the lat ter may be in four or five days.

The enemy attempted to turn his left flank, when sharp fighting occur red between the skirmishers. The 69th Indiana andvanced through a dense fire of shot and shell to the relief of our skir mishers and behaved like old soldiers, but the rebels finally turned his left flank and advanced in full force on our column. when Manson ordered a retreat and fell back three miles, re-formed his line of battle on some high hills with artillery iu position on the right and left flanks.— Firing by artillery recommenced and kept up briskly on both sides. After fighting about two hours the enemy advanced on the right flank, under cover of the woods, and after severe fighting succeeded in turn ing it, when a retreat took place to the original camping ground. Here Gen. Nelson came up, and after great efforts succeeded in rallying the men and formed another line of battle. Our artillery um munition being nearly exhausted and some of the guns left without men to work them. all having been killed or wounded, and Gen Nelson being wounded about 3 p. the men again fell back, retreating to Lexington.

A 1.1-:X ANDR lA, August 30.—There has been heavy firing heard to•dy in the di rection of Centreville. and the contest of yesterday was undoubtedly renewed this morning. Telegraphic communication has been re-established as far as Bull Run. The bridge and railroad are being repaired with the greatest dispatch, and trains will probably extend their trips to-morrow. There are still a large number pf troops in Alexandria, awaiting transortation to the field of battle. A Penn'a brigade, comprising the 123 d, 133 d, 134th and 136th regiments, under Gen. Cook. were to march to-day. Those who were able to be moved from the Alexandria hospitals have been taken to Washington to make room for the wounded who are to arrive to-day. FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. 28.--The,team ship Daniel Webster has returned here from Norfolk with the sick and wounded soldiers. Eighty of them have been trans ferred to the sanitary ship Euterpe. - The signal corps which has been for a long time attached to Gen. AfcClellan's army left here this afternoon on the steam er Arrowsmith for the Potomac. The time for the removal of the wooden buildings on the point will be on the 21st of August. hut no one can seem to rpalize that it will actually take place, notwith standing the order has been given, it seems so uncalled for by those who do not under stand why the buildings should be removed at the present time. August 31.—The rebels were heavily reinforced yesterday and attacked Pope . :- army before the arrival of Gens. Frank lin and Sumner. The attack was boldly met, and a severe battle followed. The advantage on the whole was on the side of the enemy, and Pope fell back -to Centre vine, with his whole army in good order. Ile has now been joined at Centreville by Gene. Franklin, and Sumner was on the march to him last night. He occupies the strongest position in the vicinity of Wash ington, and is expected promptly to renew the contest and the successes of Friday. Every effort should be used to hasten the forwarding of our troops. WASHINGTON, August 30.—Gen. Pope's statement that Heintzlemans carp's would move on the enemy at daylight, is confirm. ed by the heavy firing heard from that vicinity. Rumors of various success have reached here, but need confirmation. Yesterday, rebel scouts were seen at Langleay's.in the vicinity of Chain Bridge. Every precaution has been taken to pre vent a surprise in that direction. The impression prevails that the rebels have been entrapped. and the result of the recent manoeuvreing is looked with intense eagerness. SYRACUSE, N.

STONY:WALL JACKSON IN A TIGHT PLACE - •• Forney writing from Washington to the Press says - Jackson is in a tiglit place : "I write you in the midst of a thousand rumors, and what I am saying is merely an honest interpretation of these bewil dering events. McClellan had arrived at Alexandria. His various divisions were enabled to come within supporting dis tance of Pope by the delay which the Cedar Mountain victory and the subse quent retreat occasioned. Jackson was in full march. He was within two days of Washington; there was no apparent ob stacle to his advance. Now we learn, however, that while he was looking proud ly on Maryland,Pope had thrown a column beyond Warrenton, completely isolating him from the the supporting rebel army, Heintzelman is on the road from Alexandria to oppose his march.

Jacksr,n hay heen fighting terribly to ex tricate himself,but competent judges. fresh front the field of battle, say that uothin9 can preitent him teem being captured or aunt h Hated. - (Sacs-tat Correspondence of the Tribune.l WAsnixcros, August 29.—Intelligence from the field this afternoon is more pre cise and more favorable. I am able to state, on very high authority, that Jackson is at or near Manassas Junc tion. with 25,000 or 20,000 men; that. he is nearly _surrounded, and is already threatened or attacked on three sides at once. The specific movements of the forces which are near him are not to be stated, but it is believed that the battle is already going on, and that his defeat or capture is certain. The main force of the rebels is undoubt edly at Gainesville and White Plaine, points of thegreatest st rat get ic importance. They threaten from there an advance by way of Leesburg, provably in ti fir pos session, at all events, finder their im nedi ate control. Fairfax Station has been Lbandoned by the rebels and is in our possession—the station on this side also. No train 1, ayes Alexandria except to bring n killed and wounded, under a flag of truce. The con fusion in that town is perhaps somewhat less to-day, and troops and trains are in better order. If Jackson is beaten or forced to retreat by the single road said to he open to him, the whole rebel front in this direction, and with that their whole plan of advance to ward Alexandria, if such there was, is en dangered. Their position and movements are now well under.-tood. The tact that they entered the territory between Bull Run Mountains and the Potoinac in un divided force is admitted even in official ' quarters. But their plans are regarded as more cletp , :rate than brilliant. and there is at Gen. .dalleck'S headquarters, and at the War denarttnent, unmistakable con fidence and distinct purl o ie. Against this better news conies partial confirmation .of the report of this morning that Gen. .Sykes's division of regulars, which forms a part of Gen. Porter's corp s has been cut off from the force wish which , it was operating, an.l is either_captured or in imminent danger. - F ghting at. - all points is eipected to day, and is knows to be going on at some of the most critical positions. News from the front will arrive at Alexandria by night. ' Stonewall Jackson seems again to have bolted with the same irresolute purpose which he exhibited of er his advance up the Shenandoah, which then so neatly caused his capture, and seems likely to insure it now.
