WAsH1xGroS, July ls-Gen McDoweIl's official
dispatch states that there is ample evidence that the
rebels had large force at Fairfax. and thinks the
retreat viii have very damaging effect on the
force at Manassas.

ders guilty Of the act to Alexandria under guard;
and promises to shoot the first man who repeats
the ofense. Some Of the property destroyed be-
longed to Union men.
1t Is the belief here that big battle will occur at
Manassas unless the right wing of McDOweIls
army cuts Of the ret4eat Of Johnston from Win
chester to Manassas, in which case the latter place
will be completely surrounded.

and the that Manassas is occupied is perhaps
only little premature.

there had been no general fight. Since yesterday

his information went in the late battle in the noun
tains, as follows

18th, !; total, u. Wounded in the SLh regiment
%; in the 10TH %; in the 18Th q total 80; Of whom
two are MORALLY wounded.
That paper has long account of the affair, by
which it appears that Col. LANDER, the wagner
from California was the real hero of the fight. We
add the following, dated Beverly, the 10Th:
PRISONERS OF WAR.
L witnessed mOat melancholy procession yester-
day. Indeed it was touching. The rebel command
err Col Pegram, after flying from his stronghold
with his forces found himself shut up in the noun
tains without food and DO refuge. A council of his
officers advised surrender. His force. excepting
six hundred, had scattered. He addressed a note
tO'Gen. Mcclellan, proposing to surrender and the
Generals Aids, Lieut. Key and Capt Lawrence A
Williams, U. s. A, went out TO receive the aurreu-
der. This afternoon they marched sadly into Bev~
erly. and stacked their arms where some of
them had but lately encamped. The prisoners will
be qusrtered here for the present detachment,
guided by rebel Lieutenant, is out in the noun
tains now locking for l26 more of Pegram's com
mand, who are furnishing in the mountains. They
are ordered by their commander to surrender. We
have now 700 prisoners, with 1000 stand of arms
chGfy .. S. muskets changed from flint to percus-
sion locks.
The wounded of both parties are being removed
from Rich Mountain to this place.
Colonel PegraR is quite i'll having been seri-
ously hurt by being thrown from his horse in
battle.
NUMBER ENGAGED AT RICH MOUNTAIN.
Gen. Rosecrans informs me that greatly exag-
gerated his strength at the battle of Rich Mountain
He left Roaring Run with 1900, not more than 200
of whom were in the action altogether and only 500
at one time.
1t is impossible to estimate the force Of the enemy
they differ widely IN their own statements some
say 300 other officers say 400 and $50. Col Pegram
