liereiteg matter en every pave.
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.
THE MONITOR
We have received the first number of a
weekly Democratic Journal called the

Democracy of Huntingdon, for some time
past without an organ, will find in the
Monitor an able champion of our time hon
ored faith, which should be sustained with
energy by every Democrat in the county
and not permitted to languish, as too many
papers are, for want of cordial and manly
support.

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.
Our troops are too much exhausted yet
to push matters, but I shall do it in the
lourss of the morning, as soon as Fite

The enemy is still on our front, but they
are badly used up.
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

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.

tion of Lee's army, that bad succeeded!in
making its way down from White Plains
through Thoroughfare Gap.
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

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

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. ' The two
trains eaptuied were then 'fired, by order

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

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

time, but finding the number of th e enemy

woods and to cross toward the Railroad

a storm of grape and cannister which caus
ed them to fall back, but they soon rallied
and paid the enemy with interest. 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

raged furiously, tbegeneral result of which

commencement of the action. The loss
on both sides was heavy.

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

The prisoners released from the ord cap-

they had received.
The Provost Marshal and Major nosier
are, making arrangements for the reception a

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

indefinite up to noon to-day as not to jus

The supply of lint in the market is
nearly exhausted. The brave men wound

in want of it. I appeal to you to come to
our aid in supplying us with the necessary

who cannot scrape lint, and there is no
way in which their assistance can he more
usefully given than in furnishing us the
means to dress the wounds of those who
fall in defence of their rights and their
homes. Contributions will be received in

tion of Fredericksburg has been -effected
in accordance with military plans. 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. Burnside
notified all persons at Fredericksburg who
wished to avail themselves of union pro
f
tection seasonably, that they might come
away with the army and numbers availed
themselves of this Opportunity. Among
tionn is NI r. Hunnicutt. editor of the Fred

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

should be completed tonight and the lat
ter may be in four or five days.

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

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. -

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

The impression prevails that the rebels
have been entrapped. and the result of
the recent manoeuvreing is looked with
intense eagerness.

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

beyond Warrenton, completely isolating
him from the the supporting rebel army,

(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.
