ANOTHER GREAT BATTLE.
- From the Chicago Journal
Gen. Pope has had his first battle since
his appointment to the head of the Army OF
Virginia. His advance under Gen. Banks
was attacked near Culpepper Court House
on Saturday. by rebel force Of $4,000 un-
der Stonewell jackson, and by the timely ar
rival of General p. in person, with reinforce
msnts, We were saved from being everpower-
ed. At about the same time that Gen. Pope S
reinforcemcnts reached the scene of battle,
rebel reinforcements, numbering Is, 900, also
arrived, and terrible battle was waged in
the vicinity of the Rapidan river. lasting un-
til o'clock in the morning, without appar-
emily any decisive result. The loss on each
side is estimated at between 1000 and 5000
in killed, wounded and missing. "# ."
At last accounts both armies, exhausted by
the severe engagement and by the intense
heat. were resting, and the battle has no
doubt ere now been renewed, and We await
with almost breathless anxiety intelligence Of
the final result. .. "a. ..: ..ur ...,. ..-.
1t would seem that the threat of the rebels
to throw an overwhelming force upon Pope
and crush him, has been attempted and will
be perseyered in. 1t is critical time for
our army in Virginia, and our only hope is
in wise Gcncralship and large and brave
army.
LATER. Later accounts from the above
battle field are more satisfactory. 1t seems
that jackson attacked Banks with 25 900
men, when a long and bloody battle, took
place. Our forces held their ground and Of
fcred to renew tho fight the next day, but the
enemy had fallen back, and was only heard
from in The form Of request to be allowed to
bury his dead. Banks was reinforced by
Sigel during the night. Banks entire force
was only 1000 men, but with the reinforce
ments he has received he will be able to re-
sumo the offensive. We may daily expect
exciting news from that direction. -..
EXCURSION FROM DuBuQuE TO MANCHESTER.
The free excursion given by the Railroad
on last Saturday to the Sabbath School chill
dren east Of Manchester was participated in
by only about three hundred children
Those that went, however, are reported as
having had pleasure ride. The excursion
from this end of the road was attended by
over fifteen hundred children. What's the
matters? Is the population of the East so
or was it merely because Cedar
Falls did not participate that the affair was
not more successful EsH staeinie guaaH7e
