PHILADRLPHIA, Sept. l.
A correspondent Of Forney's Press,
dated near Csnterville last evening, says
last evening about o'clock McDOBell's
left flank was turned by cavalry force;
5000 strong, McDowell's corps being
on the left of our army, and the rebel cav
airy being supported by infantry. Mellow
ellis wholecorps was fearfully cut up. The
enemy, according to the reports of prisoners
who have been taken, had been reinforce
enormously, and included the entire rebel
army Of the State of Virginia, and num-
bsrs about 250,0O0 men.
The rebels occupy the outer extremity Of
the old Bull Run battlefield at present,
their front being at the farthest point Of
the old field. They hold their old rife-pits,
and they are bold and impudent. Our
army was reinforced to-day by at least
10000 of the most effective men we have
in the field, including Generals Franklin's, S,
Summers, Porter's, Richardson's, Sedg-
wick's and Cox's division of Ohio veter-
ans from Western Virginia, together with
Gen. Sturgis' new division of PennsylVa-
MIA reRiments of the new loYies-the l23d,
124tH; 125th, 10th, 127th and I2sth. The
latter marched from the various camps
near Washington this morning, where they
have been lately located, ana whence they
can safely be spared. .E-as.
Eight hundred prisoners we're sent for
ward from this point this morning 70 Al
exandria. This makes 1900 that have
been forwarded 10 Washington. The 10
tai number Of prisoners captured was very
heavy.
Gen. Taylor's New Jersey Brigade was
not in this fight. Several hundred of its
men who were taken prisoners have been
paroled. Il has not suffered as much as
is generally believed. -
A very intelligent prisoner, a commits
stoned officer told me that Stopewall
Jackson made an address to his army day
before yesterday, in which he urged his
men to stand firm and fight to the last, for
if they were beaten then all their hopes
for the Southern Confederaoy would be
lost. This man also reports that in Fri
days battle Jackson made 8 YeTUnagroT
escape from capture.
Persons supposed to be well informed,
say that we have taken at least fF,00e
prisoners from the enemy in all the en-
gagsments, but many Of these were paroled
on the spot and sent back l
A correspondent of the Inquirer says
that Generals Buford, Stahl, Hatch and
Coulter are all reported killed.

with the rebels at Chattanooga on Wednes-
day and Thursday. On the first day no
advantage was gained on either side; on
the second day the enemy were repulsed.
Buel is reported to have captured soven
thousand prisoners. This news is said to
