WAsnINGToN, Aug. lip. M.-The battle
near Cnlpepper has not been renewed-the
rebels have fallen back, declining to renew il
yesterday or to-day The loss on both sides is
about even, though the rebels suffered more in
officers than our forces. The rebel Generals
Winder and Tremble are positively known to
be killed.
A large number of wounded arrived to-
night Most of the wounds are slight, and
generally in the extremities of the persons.
Ohio regiments suffered more in propfction
than any other regiments; the Goth and 5sh
Ohio losing large number in killed, prison
ers and wounded. s....-ss
Several Of our officers have been brought
here, but an accurate list cannot be furnished
yet by the medical directors having them in
charge.
The battle was brought on by sudden
movement On GordonsviIle, in which jackson
seems to have partially succeeded, though by
no means driving US out of our position.
we hold Culpepper and occupy the battle
held, i've miles below the village. All Off
GERS and civilians who have returned here,
unite IN awarding the highest praises to the
bravery of our troops. They fought with the
utmost desperation, against double their num-
bers, as instanced in Crawford's bricade-two
thousand men against some six thousand of
the enemy. There were not more than ten
thousand OF our forces in the fight, Banks be-
ing principally engaged, while the rebels
brought up the most OF their force from Cor
louisville, and endeavored, with part of it, to
make hank movement on the remainder oi
Pope's.
The army editor of the Star, who was pres.
ent, says Pope has been reinforced, and ere
this time is ready for movement on Gordons-
vile.
A number of rebel commissioned officers
nave arrived here, taken as prisoners, who
confirm their large losses and death of promi-
nent officers. Some of those captured were
aides to jackson and Ewoil.
An immense capture of smuggIed goods
has just been made on the Potomac, some
nine miles below W W6shington, in the hands O.
rebels en- route for Virginia, including gro
ceries, cigars, medicines, etc., in large quaint
ties Some OF the parties engaged IN thi!
business left this city but few days ago.
The wife OF. q rebel Colonel was also ar
rested here to-day, with valuable letters in hel
posses ion.
