+, HEADQUARTERS, FIELD OF BATTLE,
GRovEToN; NEAR GAINESVILLE,
August 80. 1852.

To Maior General HaNeck, General-ia-
Chiet, Washington, d. c.:
We fought terrific battle here yester-
day with the combined forces of the enc
my, which lasted with continuous fury
from daylight until after dark, by which
time the enemy was driven from the field,
which we now occupy.
Our troops are too much exhausted to
push matters; but I shall do so in the
course of the morning, as soon as Fitz
John Porter's corps comes up from Ma
nassas.
The enemy is still in our front, but
badly used up.
We have lost not less than eight thou
sand men killed and wounded, and, from
the appearance of the field, the enemy
have lost at least two to our one.. He
stood strictly on the defensive, and every
attack was made by ourselves.
Our troops have behaved splendidly.
The battle was fought on the identical
battlefield of Bull run, which greatly in
creased the enthusiasm of our men.
The news just reaches US from the front
that the enemy is retreating towards the
mountains. / go forward at once to see
We have made great capture; but am
not able yet to form an idea of their ex.
tent. JOHN POPE,
Major General Commanding.

THE CASH MARKET.

Money is not go scarce; tie fnan ,i.i
columns. tell us, in the business ueNaoa-
pers. On the contrary, capital Is .describ-
ed as running franticaiiy up and down
Wall street, every day, seeking safe in
vestment'--a capital joke, no doubt, in
the estimation of those who have to shin,
Wall street, seeking the very funds that
are represented as seeking for them 80
anxiously.
Aside from the cant language, though,
OF finance, money is always scarce or
plenty with every man, just iassropor-
-tlon to his need or independence Of It.
II you have funds at command, and are
never seriously pressed for want of sum
to liquidate ''that little BILL" or to take
up that endorsement" you were foolish
enough to subscribe on the back of :
friends note, one day, when you felt
'good" and jovial, or to settle with the
landlord when he drops in ..iust to sec
how things are going on" if you never
have to wonder, at such times, how YOU
are to raise the wind" depend upon it
money is easy with you," and YOU have
no reason to believe it isn't with other
people. But, just rever ,e the picture,
just discover yourself decidedly short,
at time when everybody is presenting.
his claims to you and asking for payment.
just run out, about that time. to your
.sgood friend Jones, or that ssbcst Of fsi-
lows" Smith, whom you have so often ac-
conlmodated with the loan ola fity. and
try to borrow ten or twenty at 4
moments notice. EgadI wont you be as
tonlshed to find that everybody else is in
.eyltably short whenever you happen to
be In that condition, and that money Is
scarce indeed with all your acquaintances.
becauseit is actually scarce with you. !
That's the true way to ascertain the
condition OF the money market Unlike
all other rules, that one never fails.< 1t
invariably works well, no matter what are
the associate circumstances.

Army Correspondence.
ALEXANDRIA, VA, Aug. 25, 1862.


Dear Spirit:-No doubt many of your
gentle readers would be interested in the
whereabouts of Battery H, its condition
&c. Since the 9th of July, with the ex-
ception Of one week in which we took q
trip to Warrenton and back, we have been
resting here in camp.
About month ago we called upon oul
glorious native State for ''more men, and
our hearts is cheered by the noble re.
spouses from Marietta and Toledo. A
week ago we were joined by 15 men from
Marietta, and 35 from Toledo, swelling oul
numbers greater than the original. The
government has seen proper to equit US
again, and now we have two sections o1
English rife, U. S. regulation guns, and
one section of Napoleons. Everything
is new, and all that is wanting now to
make rebels howl is to give US an oppor-
tunity of barking at them.
/ hear great many rumors concerning
Pope, but will say that there has nothing
important transpired during last week
except the taking in by Sigel of about
1000 rebels, who passed through this
morning, much excitement prevails here.
On last Friday night a train outward
bound laden with soldiers, were fred into
by guerrilla band. Fortunately no one
was injured, the engineer jumped from
the train, but the fireman ran through in
safety
There are many thousands Of soldiers
laying near here, two corps of Mcclellan
army, Heintzelman's and-. About
50oOa day is forwarded on to the front to
join with Pope. AS fast as possible they
are sent on, evidently they are designing
to strike a crushing blow.
Besides Mcclellan s army there is thou
sands coming in here that has never been
in the field, and number of regiments
of new recruits have been located here as
a camp of instruction. / can not say how
soon we will advance to the front, but i,
is hoped that during this week we can be
ready to ;'chaw them up" With an ex
ception or two, the boys are in the best o
health, and now after long rest they art
quite vigorous.
The 62nd Ohio are in camp near, I hav'
not seen them yet, but learn that Lieut.
West and his company are in fine ,healtl
and are ready to make their name ter
ror to our foe. The 3sth Ohio passe,

will here state for the benefit of thos
who may wish to communicate to this ba,
terry, to address Battery H, Alexandra

than I had expected to, and will say tn;

ST. PAUL, August 25.
A messenger from Henderson says the
half breed scout, Fencer, would return to
Fort Ridgely and give the inmates assur-
ances of relief if they can hold out
There can be no surrender without ami
hiiation, and the inmates know this. Col
Sibley's force was at ST. Peters at four
o'clock on Saturday morning, fifty miles
from Fort Ridgely, but he could not reach
them before Sunday evening. Colonel
Cullen, with 700 cavalry, proposed tc
strike across tie country from Henderson
and may get there ahead of Sibley. Il
is believed that the Indians will get in
formation of the force advancing and
hastily leave the fort. Col Cullen writes
that the further he advances the news be
comes worse. All the inhabitants were
focking into the towns. Hon. j. r
Cleveland writes on the 21st, from Man
kato, that he staid at New Ulm last night
and saw most horrible sights. One in
stance he relates, where he saw bodies o
stalwart men with their throats cut from
ear to ear, their skulls battered and limb,
mutilated He knew some Of them vel
as good citizens Of Brown County. Oul
opinion is that not less than five hundred
have been massacred Large portions O
Blue Earth and Brown Counties are de
populated, the wheat left unstacked in tn,
fields, and owners flying eastward.
