New YORK, Aug 26th.-The Times cor
respondent states that the portion Of Nc
Cleilau's army which embarked at York
town, has already arrived at Alexandria.
The corps under command OF Gen. Frank
lin, which embarked at Fortress Monroe, Oh
Friday, arrived at Alexandria TO- day. 1t
il also reported that another corps will
come to the same place tomorrow. In fact
appearances indicate that the ensire army
of the Potomac, excepting Gen. Porter's
corps, which went 10 Fredericksburg last
week, will campat California, the old camp
ing ground, situated about one and a half
miles from Alexandria, tenn orary rendtz-
yous.
The Herald's Washington correspondence
says military critics profess to believe our
forced advances to the Rapidan were pre-
maturely made. jackson disturbed our
figures somewhat at Cedar Mountain, aud
possibly destroyed our calculations. As
consequence be and his CONDUCTORS assail US
now within 80 miles of Manassas, aud with
the largest army the rebels have ever rail-
lied east or West.
We all look hopelessly for the coming of
Mcclellan. Burnsides troops are here. If
the new levies were ever needed it is at
this lime. t+-
L. is the-opinion that the troops now at
Alexandria will, 10 the course OF day or
two, proceed to join Pope's army. l am
informed that Kearney's division which ar
rived at Alexandria about the middle of
last week, took part i'll an engagement
which occurred near Warrenton yesterday
The new regiments are daily pouring in
to Alexandria, and every day they are sent
soulhward to join the army.
The Times Washington dispatch SAYS,
acting adjt. M0rdoek of the 66th OHIO,
committed suicide last night by blowing
his brains out with a pistol. He was i'll
with fever but was not thought to be de-
lirious until the fatal deed was done.
Gen. Pope is still held to be equal 10 any
emergency. The crippled, but indomitable
Banks Is still with his command, and Nc
Dowell has an opportunity to wipe away
the bloody recollection within cannon-shot
OF Bull Run, for he is active and every ~ here
present.
The Rappahannock correspondent of the
Tribune says the greatest crisis of the war
occurred between Thursday morning and
Saturday night. 1t is past and sOe are safe.
Washington is safe, our army is safe, and
the nation is safe, for Pope artillery is
now guarding the line of the gappahan-
mock, and Fnz John Porter with a very
heavy force Joined Pope on Friday evening,
and a host of regiments have joined, and
are now joining him by way of Aexapdria
| Now look for the grand movements of
the war in thirty days.
Do not forget that Burnside has massed
a large army at Fredericksburg, aud Pope
is nearly or quite as strong as Lee aud
Jackson, and Mcclellan is freed from the
net which held him ia Its meshes on the
Peninsula.
Some stir was caused in camp, and a
| thousand aud more in Washing ton, find,
| by sudden raid of $50 guerillas upon
| Catlers Station under cover OF the night
They dashed 10 upon every small collection
of men and wagons, siampeding lot of
suffers servants aud teamsters, and burned
wagons, ran off number Of horses and
took about 100 prisoners.
The most serious part of the business is,
they took Gen. Pope's personal baggage aud
money, and all his Official papers and cor
respondence which happened TO be in one of
the wagons which had been sent to the
rear. la the attack at Catlet's Station 20
supply trains were destroyed or their con-
tents injured by the rebels. Many wagons
were too wet 10 burn. .e-
