they were not disturbed, but everything in Gen.
Pope's was turned out: his official papers assorted
out and carried OIL and his letters from his vile
and other private individuals, were srfewed over
the ground or torn into bits.
The Fredericksburg correspondent of the Tri-
bune dating Sunday says musketry firing was
heard this morning.
A contraband came in yesterday and reports
that our troops were licking the rebels and that
we had captured thirteen guns.
\ Lieutenant of cavalry came in last evening
and corroborated the contraband's story but says
the number of guns captured was sixteen and
that when Stonewall Jackson's forces reached
the Rappahannock at BENEFITS Ford, some eigh
teen or twenty miles from here, part of Nc
Dowell's force was on the south bank OF the NV

cover of the woods and that Jacksons force
passed them and attempted to ford the river.

destructive fire and at the same time Mellow
ellis men threw themselves on their rear thus
bringing them between two fires This officer
says or this portion of Jacksons force he can't
say how many were annihilated but that the river
was red with rebel blood.

to be true.

The Times dispatch says:
The Cabinet had meeting to day. The gen

hopeful than for some time past. The President
is understood to have said that the crisis is past
and the point OF danger turned. The recent politi-
cal arrests are justified on the ground that the
course of the parties arrested was such as to dis

intend or desire to be understood as intending to
