bridges burned by the secesh. Accounts
are kept and receipts are given for their
labor, to besettled at Washington when
the rebellion is suppressed, As the
rebels don't intend that the rebellion
shall be suppressed at all, they think it
too long credit for the labor of their
slaves. They don't like it at all, and if
Lincoln don't modify the order, they
will probably become "irritated," and
perhaps have their southern hearts fred
at the unconstitutional outrage upon
theirr lights.
80 From Washington, the CORES :
pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, gives
this note of encouragement:
! cat last-God be praised-the cloud
is lifting. The danger-if not passed is
met, and met as we would wish it
Gunpowder is an excellent thing in a
military way, but sometimes Transpor-
tation is better. Transportation has tri-
umphed. The crisis is past, Gen.
Halleck's ''forty eight hours Of peril
have elapsed and all is well.
Movements cannot be particularize d
as yet, but [ can say that the tone of the
Government. Cabinet, War Office; Hal
leck's Headquarters jubilant. For
three days we have been on the rack of
interest, expectation. if not alarm. As
one well said, ''two of these days are the
most momentous in the war;" now ev-
erything is changed, confidence is re-
stored, and we seem nearer the end than
any time during the past year of aimless
inactivity or as aimless energy.
We may have terrible battles yet
one terrible one we are almost certain
! to have-but we shall fight to win, and
We have the troops to do it.

"a Rappahannock correspondent
Of Philadelphia paper states that on
the morning Of the 21st the rebels
opened battery on our center and con-
tinued vigorously to throw shot aud
shell fo- several hours. A little higher
up it was discovered that the enemy had,
during the night erected a bridge over
the river. At this point the most bril-
liant and successful affair of the day is
reported to have occurred. In the vi
cinity of this bridge was one Of Gen.
Sigel's batteries, on which the rebels
opened brisk fire, to which our battery
replied with spirit. In a little while
! our fire slackened and then ceased
The battery having been apparently 81
lenced or withdrawn, three rebel regi-
nents now rushed across the bridge and
yoiisel offered no opposition. Every
thing ses!ned favora BILE, but the scene
soon changed. No sooner had they
crossed than sigel opens his battery on
tie bridge. Tho fourth shot completed y
den olishes it and a. the same tins a
deadly fire of musketry assails the reb-
els in front. Their retreat cut off, no
hope left, few shots from our battery,
a charge, and they are ours; not man
escapes. Nearly 1000 prisoners are
said to have been captured and about
400 killed and wounded. The enemy
having failed in this, now hurled for
ward their forces with impetuosity and
strive to outfank Slgel by crossing at
French's Ford, but Gen. Pope orders
up Banks and Reno to the aid of Sigel
and the enemy is again repulsed and
How the next attempt of the enemy
succeeded have not yet learned
We cut the above from the telegraphic
dispatches in the last Cincinnati dailies,
but confess we lack faith in its truth,
but hope it may be true, nevertheless
