How Jackson Got Into Pope's Rear-strategy Of
The Ganfea arafa Laadars.

. The Confederate Leaders.
The Alexandria correspondent Of the Phila-
delphia Press vouches for the correctness Of
the following statements
Of course, the principal topic is how Jack
son managed to get around the right wing
Gen Pope's army and make his raid upon
Manassas Junction, for the purpose OF opera
ting in the rear of Gen. Pope's army, while
General Lee made the attack on the 'front.'
All the six days fighting Of cur army on the
Rappahannock is now known to have been
merely feint on the part of the Confederates,
and their supposed retreatlng toward sperry--
vile via Little Washington was also intended
for the same purpose. Instead Of the whole
Confederate army moving back, General Lee
carefully concealed his main force along the
banks Of the Rappahannock, while he sent
Jackson to Warrenton with 40, 900 men, 1000
of whom were cavalry under Colonel Lee, to
march along the country between the Blue
Ridge and Bull Run range OF mountains.
Jackson concentrated his forces at the Plains
and Salem, and sent his cavalry through to re-
connoitre Soon he-folloWed with his infantry,
made forced march until he reached Centre
Vile From this place he was within striking
distance of Gen. Pope's rear, and he improved
it, no doubt thinking that he could annihilate
the army Of Virginia before it could have any
succor from Washington. The cavalry dashes
of Colonel Lee were thoug ht by some, to be too
daring if he was not confident Of having infan-
try to support him in case of an emergency,
but so far as [ could hear our officers did not
share the same opinion.
The Confederate cavalry, by their attack on
our forces On, Tuesday night, created such
panic among the Federal troops that the Con-
federate cavalry had it all their own way, and
during the night they held high revel in our
camp The battery Of artillery they had cap
tured they placed in favorable position and
drew their cavalry up in line Of battle, SO that
it could be concealed from our forces. Some
of their guns were placed in q fort, and the
others were planted SO that if our forces should
make an attack on their position they could
concentrate cross fire upon us. The best II
femen in the command were picked out and
posted in the rihe-pits, which are very numer~

WAR NEWS.


,,atch which is dated at an early hour on Satur-
davmorning at the headquarters ON the field Of
hattie, and the information Of subsequent
movements Of the hostile armies is received
Sbrough the press agency. The dispatch from
this source is dated Washington, yesterday,
and states that the expected reinforcements
did not reach Gen. Pope, and that the Confed
crates, largely strengthened by fresh troops,
assumed the offensive on Saturday morning
and attacked the Federal army, which boldly
met the assault and severe battle followed,
the advantage all being with the Confederates.
Gen. Pope fell back to Centreville, where he was
ioined by the troops marching to his relief -
The position of the Federal army at Centreville
is said to be q very strong one, having railroad
communication with Washington Centre
vile is eight miles from Gainesville, four from
Bull Run and eighteen from Washington
Large quantities Of hospital supplies have been
sent from Washington to the battle field, and
many of the medical officers Of the army and
private physicians have proceeded to the same
locality The advices received in Washington
indicated that there was butlittle, If any, fight
ing yesterday.
The report that the city of Fredericksburg
had been abandoned, and the bridge over. the
Rappahannock burned by the Federal troops,
is contradicted. Gen. Burnside, it is known,
vas still in possession Of the place on Saturday
afternoon.
A battle occurred near Rogersville, Ken
lucky, on Saturday last Skirmishing COM
menced on Friday near Richmond, when the
Confederates fell back to Rogersville, where
they were attacked early next morning by the
Federal troops under Gen. Manson. The bat
tie was fought with great desperation, and
both sides lost heavily. The :Confederates
twice turned the flank Of the Federal line,
when retreat was ordered to the original po~
sltlon at Richmond, where another stand was
made. The army had suffered severely in the
previous engagement, and when the Confeder-
ates-who numbered from fifteen to twenty
thousand-came up, the fight was renewed,
but the troops again fell back, retreating to
Lexington. No estimate Of the loss is given.
Richmond and Rogersville are both in Madi-
son county, the former the county town.
hogersville is six miles south Of Richmond,
Which is sixteen miles south from Lexington.
An arrival from New Orleans at New York
1nngs the intelligence Of the evacuation Of.
Baton Rouge by the Federal troops. Since

The political excitement throughout Calitor~

He eulogizes President Lincoln, but denounces
