All the Regiments engaged fought gal
lantly. The loss is said to reach 40 per
cent of those engaged.
The Indiana 18th lost 22T. The brigade
was not 10 the fight on Friday, but was ia
on Saturday and held out to the close Of
the day.
The rebel mortality has been enormous,
and their own captured officers and Sur
Reons admit loss from 10 to 1900 in
killed and wounded up to Saturday night.
When Gen. Franklin arrived on the bat
tie ground on Saturday afternoon, the
fortunes of tue day had been decided, and
the command halted near Cub Ron. Gen.
Sloculn, seeing that Gen. Pope left wing
was falling back toward Oentreville, formed
his division in line of battle across the road
and deployed a squadron of cavalry at
tached to the corps as skirmishers. Gen.
Smiths division was also drawn up in line
of battle half mile in the rear. When
the troops came back they were brought to
a halt, and not allowed to pass this point,
and numbers of stragglers were collected.
Gen. Rearney's and Hooker's divisions
came back in good order.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-The work of get
ting the army into good position in front
of Washington has been accomplished with
entire success. Many of the troops now
occupy positions short distances from those
of last fall and winter. The division of
Mai. Gen. Fitz John Porter, composed of
the brigades of Gems. Morrell, Martindale,
Butterfeld and Griffin, have their tents
pitched near the camp ground of last year.
Lit. D. r. Smith, of N. Y. State Vol, Col

charges had been preferred by the Colonel,
has been honorably discharged from SER
vice, by order of the President, in special
order No. 275.
The Chain Bridge, the timbers Of which
were, it is reported, removed several days
ago, was made use of for military purposes
to-day, facilitating intercourse between
the Virginia and Maryland shores.
Col. Berdan was not so badly wounded
as was at first supposed. He was stunned
and his left shoulder blade badly bruised
by piece of shell, but he is still on duty
with his regiment.
The city maintains a calmness.

p~TuE JENKINS RAlp.-Lt. Col. Frost,
for whose opinions we have great respects
thinks that jenkins brought with him into
Western Virginia about 500 mounted
rebels. His object is to steal aud destroy
government stores and steal horses. From
the course he is taking, Col. Frost is of the
opinion that Jenkins is making for the
Kauawha Valley, knowing that cOx's forces
are no longer there, and that his design is
to surprise and defeat the small Federal
force in aud about Charleston, fill the gov
eminent wagons with salt, and guard them
safely up the Valley with his force of cav
airy. Salt is thing badly needed in the
Southern oonfederacy. It was one of
Letcher's stated reasons for recently con-
ycning the Legislature, to provide ways
aud means for procuring salt. Jenkins got
nothing br the surrender of Spencer
Everything of value belonging to the gov
eminent had lobf sidess been removed to

AFTERNOON DISPATCHES.
Great loss of Life in Rockers Brig
ade-;-News from Centreville and

Great loss Of Life in Rockers Brig
ade-.-News from Centreville and
Fairfax.
WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-The city tonight
is in a state of great excitement, aud not
without cause. Last night there was Sc
rious skirmishiug along our whole front,
during which We lost two of our best gen.
erals and other valuable officers. II is
reported that it WAS Rockers brigade
which drove the rebels back, but this mile
Of skirmishing was attended, with great
loss Of lite.
At4 this morning a train of 100 wagons
of commissary stores were intercepted by
the enemy between Fairfax aud Centre
vile, and driven off towards Ceutreville
before it could be oyertaken. When this
road, on our rear, at Centreville, was
known, the necessity of guarding that di-
rection caused our whole army to aban-
don Centreville, and it was massed this
side of Fairfax Court House. This noon
itagain marched, and by evening the ad-
vance was in sight of Munsons Hill.
The rebel cavalry followed at q distance
but made no attack.
To-day Mcclellan rode out to meet the
army and was received with great gratifi-
cation.
The works for defense are in good order
and manned by experienced Rrtillerists,
and gunboats now line the Potomac.
There was large cabinet meeting to-
day.
The government is exertiug every energy
for the city's defense.
