fax Court house at II n. They both
report that up to that time at these
respective points no secession forces
had appeared, fact which would
seem TO sufficiently indicate that it is
no part Of their purpose to undertake
anything like an advance towards
Washington. Affairs wear q more
cheerful aspect. Troops were continu-
ally arriving; baggage wagons and
commissariat supplies seem to be as
plentiful as heretofore, and altogether
there is a gathering up Of army frag-
mcnts.
In the present confused condition of
affairs it is impossible to procure full
lists Of the killed and wounded.
There cannot be any official report
giving the information. Names of
such, however, as can be reliably as
certaincd arc transmitted as soon as
received.
Business Of the War Department
on the Gath was remarkably heavy.
Photographic dispatches were heavily
accommodating, the scndcrs rendering
troops in surprising numbers. For
example, Illinois offered II, and Indi-
ana 10 regiments. Some of them
had already started, and others would
be en- route the next day.
The President and Secretary Seward
visited the ratification on the Virgin
ia side. They were received by the
gallant Goth with the greatest enthu.
siasm. The President asked if they
intended to re-enlist. They replied,
yes, if the President desired. He an
nounced emphatically that he did, and
wrote them a letter complimentiDg
them on their heroic conduct. and OK
pressing the hope that the whole rcgi-
inent would rc-cnlist. This was re-
ceived with cheers, and the determi-
nation expressed to go in for the wa,
and to stand by the Government and
flag forever. ....
A Mississippi soldier, taken prison
CT by Hasbrouck of the Wisconsin
regiment, turned out to be Brigadicr
Quartermastcr Pryor, cousin to Roger
A. Pryor. He was captured with his
horse, as he by accident rode into our
lines. He discovered himself by re-
marking to llasbrouck, 1--WE are get
ting badly cut to pieces" "What
regiment do You belong to ?" asked
uasbrouck. THE 10Th Mississippi"
was the answer. "Thcn you are my
prisoner" said lIasbrouck. From the
statement Of this prisoner it appears
that our artillery created great havoc
among the rebels, of whom there were
from 10000 to 10000 in the field I'M
der command of Gen. Beauregard,
while they had reserve of $4,000 at
the junction. He described an officer
most prominent in the fight, distin-
guishcd from the rest by his white
horse, as JEFF. Davis. He confirms the
previous reports Of q regiment of ne
gro troops in the rebel forces, but says
it is difficult to get them in proper
discipline in battle array.
Senator Breckenridge visited the
rebel prisoners taken at Fairfax Court
House and Centrcvillc, and does not,
in his interviews with them, conceal
his sympathies with them and their
cause.
