A rumor which have been unable TO trace to
any Trustworthy source, is in circulation that Gen.
Banks burned his baggage train yesterday to pre-
vent it's falling into the hands OF the Rebels by
whom be WAS holly harrassed in front and rear
Trains started from Alexandra early this morning
for Vienna, with troops and stores, but, according
10 The latest accounts did not succeed in reaching
there. Rumors and reports are hourly assuming
more dscouragng features. jackson seems 10 have
held the battle-ground yesterday.
Rudolph Massey, who avowed himself President
of Secession League, whose object in part was t.
drive the Unionsts from Alexandria, was this morn
ing Knocked down by a soldier, and sorely beaten.
A great crowd now surrounds his house, threatening
TO bum it down.
9 D. m.-It is now certain that Gen. Banks not
enly burned his own baggage train yesterday, but
DESTROYED three locomotives and three trains OF earn
laden with ammunition aud supplies. lie ioeomo'
tiyes aud cars Were at Brlsow Station.
The Treasury Clerks, several hundred in number,
were not able to reach the battle-ground to-day.
Some of them were carried as far Fairfax Station,
and were there told they could reach the battlefield
by walking II miles, and that possibly Gen. jackson
would entertain them during the night. Not de-
string bis hospi atty, they have all returned. The
depot Of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad il
now thronged with gentlemen and loafers, anxious
to be of service to their country. Among the crowd
] notice Members of Congress, heads Of Depart
nents and Bureaus chief clerks, &c.
From gentleman who left the headquarters Of
Gen. Pope at II III. to-day, learn that cause OF
the repuse of the left wing yesterday, the
famished condition of the troops and the want of
tiery ammunition. The three batteries reported
taken by the enemy ran out of ammunition al hour
before the charge upon them by the Rebel Cavalry.
In the opinion of many officers the retreats of the
enemy Thursday and Friday were TO draw us
.pon more advantageous ground for himself and Il
bring us unconsciousy under the fire OF about ont
hundred pieces Of artillery, masked in the woods
NcDowelrs left was turned willie exposed TO thi
terrific FIRE.
All officers seem to agree, and think have con
yersed with more than hundred wounded one
to-day, that the great mistake Of all Others was i
allowing Longstreet TO pass through the Gap and il
seuChDg but one small division, Gen. Rickettss Il
oppose him. The Gap is very narrow, but 5000
mes should have been kept there to watch it. Tb
Iad Of Stewart upon Pope's provision trains, trifn,
% i at first appeared, came very destroy =,
one of the finest armies in the world. Gen. Pcye'
entire army have been living upon half ration
drring the past week, and were of course in con
dition to fight with enemy who had been ailoweC
10 select his own battle-ground Unless Gen. lie,
be expected in several days. ~.
