Under cover Of night, on Thursday, they stole across . near Sharpsburg, car rying off all their transportation and nearly all their 'Wounded. Our cavalry pursued them on Friday, but only suc ceeded in capturing a few straggles.— Finding them. on the other side of the river, au attempt was made to cross and flank them, but it was not successful. Fragmentary details of the great battle of Thursday reach us from various sources. An inspection of the field leads to the opinion that the Rebels suffered far more than we did in killed and wounded. Last evening we received from Washington the substance of a dispatch from one Of our battle c Aield correspondents, who re turned to Frederick from. Gen. McClel lan's advance lines yesterday afternoon: Ho says that heavy firing was going on all slay yesterday, both cannonading and musketry, and many wounded men were hieing brought in. Our troops had crossed the Potomac in large: force, and were fighting on the other side. The :rest of the army had advanced to the river.' In the fighting, so far, we had decidedly the .advantage of the Rebels. Yesterday we captured a whole briOde of them, 2,000 in number. This our correspondent asserts 1113011 the testimony of his own eyes. When he left the field at midnight of Saturday, the firing had not ceased. From the Associated Press correspond. enee dated Headquarters, Saturday eve ning; we get some account of efforts to, cross the Potomac made by our troops on Saturday. About two brigades crossed, but, were forced brek by a much stronger force of the enemy., Dispatches from Cairo report a battle and victoFy for the right side at Itika, Miss. The affair took place on the ]9th, Rosencrans coming up with Price and giving him battle; our loss estimated at about 400 in all; the Rebels lost 400 prisoners, and a large number of killed and wounded. GOO. Bosencrans Was in hot pursuit of the retreating Rebels at latest sulvices. Twelve hundred more Rebel prisoners nrr!ved at Baltimore on Saturday morning, from -Ft ederick.. They were seat to Fort Delawaro. The prisoners are dressed in . all manner of garbs, and are very dirty and ragged. There was a rumor in Harrisburg on Saturday that the entire Rebel force un der Stonewall Jackson had eurrendercld. Of course such a story is beyond credence —Jackson is the last man likely to sur render. Messengers from the Northern Settle ments of Nebraska, 200 miles above Oma ha, report that the paoio created by the Indian massacres in Minnesota has en tirely subsided, and that the settlers have returned , to - their hotnes There are no hostile Indians within the limits of Ne braska. . From a special dispatch from one of our correspondents with Gen. McClellan's army, we learn that the new campaign in Virginia is already begun. Heavy firing was going on aU day Saturday, continu ing, into the night, our troops having crossed the .Potomac in large numbers, the rest of the army traveling rapidly in their footsteps.' A whole brigade of 2,000 men had been captured, and the advantages generally had been on our side. Our letters report that the Rebels were expecting re-enforcements, and this may have quickened Gen. McClellan's movements. But fresh troops have been added to his own army, and it is clear that he feels strong enough to follow up the blow he has already given. This rapid pursuit must inspirit his own men, and add speed to an already flying enemy. Energy in such a case is almost as good as a battle woo, and will prepare the country to hail a decisive victory. If the Rebels ate once sent flying up the She vandoah Valley,' it will soon become a rout with the grand army of the South. They may. it is true, still make a stand, bet this rapid movement of our forces is of most hopeful augury. ViirThe following is from the tribune of Saturday : These are the advicee received from morning until 8 p. m., yesterday from and concerning the great contest in Maryland. From Harrisburg, dated Sept. 19, this : "The gieat, battle was f resumed this morning at Sharpsburg. Heavy cannon ading is now heard at Flagerstov,rn. No par.iculars yet received." This came at about 1 p. m. ' Between 3 and 4 p. came two dispatches from Gen.- McClellan. The first; dated Headquarters of tho Army of4bo Potoinac, Sept. 19, 81 a. ru., ran thus: "BuOittle occurred yesterday ex-' cept skirmishing. Last night the enemy abandoned his position; leaving his dead and wounded on the field. We-are again in pursuit. Ido not yet know whether he is falling back to an interior position, or crossing the river. We may safely claim a victory." The second was dated Headquartere of the Army of the Poto mac, Sept. 19, 101 a. m., and said :—, "Pleasotiton is driving the enemy across the river. Our victory was complete, The enemy is driven back into Virginia. Maryland and Pennsylvania are now safe." Sprinkled along among these were' our dispatches from Washington andi Associ ated Press communications from Balti more. The first asserted that "We have 2,000 prisoners taken in the battle of Wednesday." It also quoted The Wash ington Republican's account of la recon noissance to Leesburg, the pith of which was that at Goose Creek; our men "found the passage of the stream disputed by a body of the enemy's cavalry, who scat.' tered and fled in confusion, when our artillery, were brought to bear upo them. The party then proceeded to Leesburg, which they found occuPied by ono regi meat of Rebel infantry and a small cav alry force. After a short but severe en gagement. the enemy were driven from the town by the 10th New-York at the point of , the bayonet. , The loss of the enemy was quite large considering the number,of the forces engaged. • The -Union troops captured; the Rebel regi mental standard, a number- or i muskets thrown away by'the enemy in his precip itate flight, and a number of prisoners." The dispatch to the As'sociated Press gave the story of a gentleman "who left the battle-field at 9 o'clock on Wednesday night. He says that our forces occupied the position chosen by the enemy at the commencement of the battle, and that the Rebels were driven back a mile and a half at all points, except at Our extreme right, which they still held ae.the cloie of the day. Our informant was all day within a hundred yards of Gen. McClellan, and says that the results of the day were re. garded by him and his staff as a 'glorio)s victory, though not a final one.: There was no faltering at any point of, the line of our whole army. Our soldiere,yzere exultant at the results' Of the day's fight, and Gen. McClellan was in the highest spirits. The opinion of Gen. McClellan and those around him, was that the final result would depend on who got re-en, foreements first. Our informant says that nothing ,had been heard' on the field of the capture of Gen. I.4'ongstreet or the killing of Gen. Hill, and that there is no truth in either report?'—Early in the evening we received a dispatch dated at Head-quarters, Friday; morning, saying that Thursday was spent in burying dead and aiding wounded. The Rebels sent in a flag of trace asking permission to do the same, and got it. The dispatch gave , a partial list of our wounded officers. At daylight on Friday it was found that the enemy had changed' their —position.— Whether they had all crossed the Poto mac was not known.. Had they remained there would have been a fight. At 11 p. in. we received a, dispatch from Har risburg reassertinc , ° our complete victory, and saying that Gen. Pleasahton was driving the Rebels across the •Potomac. The whole union army was in good con dition, :and the emu had been badly punished. • An, officer who left Miimfordsville,' Tenn.; 'after the surrender, nye that the garrison there, numbering from 4,090 to 5,000 men,comprisiog the 19th; the 50th, the 60th, the 67th, 'the 68th, and the 69th Indiana regiments and'one company 1 of cavalry, and ten pieces of artillery, sur rendered on WedneSday morning, our forces 'being completely surrounded by Gen. Bragg's forces, estimated I s 30,000 men. 'Our loss in killed and! wounded was fifty. The Rebels acknowledged a loss of 700 on Saturd4. The town of Prentiss, Miss.,lwas oblit erated_ a few days ago, because the Rebels there had fired upon the gtinhoat Wan; which was going down the !river with a load of prisoners to be exchanged. A nutnbe'r of the prisoners were killed by their internal brethren, whereupon the officer of the boat gave the citiexns fifteen minutes to remove the women and chil- dren, and then reduced the village to ashes. The Indian' outbreak wears a better aspect.: The Sioux are divided; some chiefs ,being friendly. The Chippewa embassy have settled their trodhles, and have signed a treaty of friendship. Mole in-the-Day, the leader of the outbreak, has, promised to disperse his men. CO)4STCTICUT MILITARY MATTERS.- - The enrolled militia and others, to the number of 4,000 or 5,000, assembled at the State House, New Ilaven, Conn., Sept. 10th, 1862, at 9 o'clock, ,a. M., for the purpose of a draft. The Selectmen continued their session until 5 o'clock p. w., at which time the entire quota of the town was filled by enlistments : with out anj draft. Tan LATE GENERAL 'STEVENS.— Borne of the incidents preceding the death of Gen. Stevens aro' of touching interest. Thearmy was retreating from lentreville. The battle was fought against. a Rebel force that had penetrated 5 miles nearer Washington than our rear and was. Moving to strike upon the Mink. `Gen. Stevens' division, the advance of Reno's corps, was on the left of the road taken by the trains, and intercepted the enemy., He saw that the Rebels must be beateut back at once, or during the night they l Would stampede the wagons, and prob. ably so disconcert our retreat that the last divisions would fall a prey to their, Main force. He decided to attack imme diately, at the same time sending back, ter support. Having made his disposi tions, he led the attack on foot of the' BSth *(Highlanders). Soon meeting a withering fire, and the Color Sergeant ? a drizzled old 'Scotehman ' being wounded, ° they faltered. One of the color guard took up the flag, when the General snatched it from him. The wounded Highlander at ibis feet cried, "For God's sake, Goners!, don't you take the Colors, they'll shot you if you do !" The answer . ins, "Give me the colors ! If they don't fellow now; they never , will ;" and he sprang forward, crying, "We are all High- . lenders; follow • Highlanders; forward my Highlanders 1" The Highlanders did follow their Scottish chief, but while sweeping forward a ball struck him on his right temple. He died instantly. Au hour afterwards, when taken up, his hands were still clenched around the flagstaff. A moment after seizing the colors, his eon, Captain Elazzard Stevens, fell wounded, and cried to his father that he was hurt. With but a .glance back, that Roman father said, "I can't attend to you now, .Hazzard. Corporal Thomp son, see to my boy." AN UNdE ON His NEMIEW.--In the leg number of the Danville Review. Rev. Dr. Breckinridge thus expresses his opin ion of his nephew, John C. Breckinridge : "The .conquest of his own State by arms was one of the points in this Woo• ipus scheme' to. the defense of which the Kentucky Senator lent himself, at Wash ington, in his vehement opposition to the federal administration • and in support of which, on his return to that State in 4.ugust, 1.861, the conspirator became a refugee, and the reftigee a general in the army of traitors, and the general an inva der of the land to whose defense ho owed every drop of his blood. His expulsion, as a traitor to the nation, from the Sen ate of the United States, a few months liter, was the just and natural result. r i le had not even the poor excuse that he Nris loyal to'Kentucky. He was a traitor to her also, and that with a treason an,- gravated almost beyond historic example, and destitute of every pretext ever plead 6 , traitor before." 1 The Cleveland Leader says: We beard a man congratulating himself on being exempt the other day, upon grounds that we should not consider in' the, highest degree exhilerating although he appeared to be quite transported in contemplating them. "I am exempt from tbo draft," said he, rubbing his hands in glee, his feet expressive of violent joy. "How so?" we asked. "I ain't only got one lung !" he 'yelled; ha ! ha! ha ! pulmo nary consumption has got the other—ha ha ! and I hain't got only one lung! ha!' ha! ha! ha!" and, he laughed until he was seized' with a coughing fit which threatened to relieve pulmonary consump tion of the task of using up "tother lung.' The late 'census returns of manufactur ing establishments in New York, reveals the astonishing fact that more capital is employed in carrying on the panting trade than! in any, other business, the amount being over eight and a half mil lions I Over six thousand persons are employed in printing, _and the various e [ stablishuienis use up about five millions Of dollars' worth of raw matarial, ink,-pa per, &c., per annum, producing over eleven millions' worth of books, papers,&o. Gov. Yates . , made a speech at a war main , in Chicago, a few days ago, in II 1 " which he said,alluding to Northern rebels: 1 ! "The day is fast approaching when they shall call upon the _rocks and mountains to hide them, as they see the triumphal Car of universal freedom marching, as John Brown's soul is marching. on, and the whole country stands redeemed and disenthralled by the genius of universal eMancipation." Negroes beve l arrived at the oamp lines round Memphis from Florida and Lou. asiana. They represent that the slaves re just beginning to learn that the ',Yankee soldiers will let the black people °me to them." One old negro from Florida said he believed it was true as soon as he heard the news, and started right off to - find the place where the Yan kees were. He believes that many more will follow him. Figures- are given in the rebel news papers, showing the present indebtedness of the Confederate Government to be $410,000,000. • Of this amount $45,000,- 000 is due to soldiers; 850,000,000 to banks; $65,000,000 for property seized; ' 845,000,000 for 'property destroyed; $45,000,000 for State aid, to bo rein .hursed ; .$1,000,000 on treasury notes ; 'War loans $65,000,000. Illinois 'has. raised 50,000 out of her guota of 52,000 for the two calls, come uentry there will be no draft there, as he other 2,000 will not belong wanting: ELECTIONS OF 1862.
