Virginia, under General Mcclellan, this side
of Centreville.
WAsHINGNoN, Aug. 30.-Information has
reached Washington from private sources,
that Gen. Popo came up with and attacked
the enemy again shortly after nine o'clock
this morning.
Gcu. Fitz John Porter had probably ar
rived on the field by that time, from Ma.
nassas, only seven miles.
The cannonading was distinctly heard IN
Washington.
The railroad was regularly ruu this
morning from the town of Warrenton to
Bristow, SO it is already clear that the only
damage to DO repaired on tho railroad is to
build the Bull Run aud Rappabannock
bridges.
Tue former should be completed to night
and tho latter in four or five days.
Tue nows received from the army has oc-
casiOned tho greatest excitement through
out this city. Orders woro issued by tho
Heads of different Bureaus, calling upon
their employers to repair to the baltic field
for the purpose of attending to tho condition
OF our wounded. The order required each
man to provide himself with two days ra-
tions. A prompt response was made to tho
call, and not only the persons employed by
tho Government but many others loft the
| city for the purpose stated.
Although tho engagement with the onomy
was of a most appalIingly snnguinarv char
acter. yot such is tho confidence Of Union
mon in tho skill aud strength of our army
that an abiding faith is everywhere discern
| blo in cur ultimate success.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 3o.-The Wash.
ington Star Of last evening contains the
! following intelligence: We have iniorma.
| tion that satisfies us that the rebel force
that suddenly appeared between the posi-.
ton of the army of Gen. Pope, and at
Brislow and Manassas on Tuesday night
last, was the army corps of Jackson, and
Stu@rt's Independent Cavalry Corps
They consisted of infantry and artillery,
and marched about $4,000 strong, from
near Waterloo, on the head waters of the
Rappahannock, around by White Plains,
by Manassas, about forty miles, in two
days, without wagons, tents "r knapsacks
thus leaving their baggage of every de-
scrption to be transported by wagons, with
the other army corps Of Lee following on
behind them. Instead of fighting merely
a portion of Stuarps cavalry at Manassas
day before yesterday, Taylor's brigade
was actually confronted by a greater
portion OF Jackson's corps d'armee, Major
Generals Jackson, Ewell, Taliafero, Hill
and Stuart, and the General.in- Chief,
Robert Lee, or his son, Brig. General
Fitz Hugh Lee, being present at Manassas
during the engagement.
al ~, Tan m &c
advance occupied Fairfax Court House
with force of cavalry, and had collected
their own wounded Of the action Of the
day before with Taylor, and their wound
ed in the engagement of the same day
with Hooker, and also Taylor OF the
afternoon.
About 400 Of their cavalry, under Stu
art in person, marched on from Fairfax
Conrt House to Eiena.
IIooker's battle of the day before yes
terday, was with Ewel's division, and
was gratifying success. Major General
Pope, by half past nine, yesterday, had
concentrated his army so as TO sadly in.
ter(ere with the calculations on which the
rebel generals must have ventured their
very bold ard extraordinary movement.
He had got McDowel's force, including
Sige!s. probably between Jackson's rear
and Longstreet's front, and had all the
rest oi his army up within supporting dis
lance.
Thus it continued through. the balance
OF the afternoon. Facts within our knowl.
edge lead to the impression that within
t tuu nj n MI a
will have been established between Wash.
ington and General Pope's army, more
especially as there are signs that Jackson's S
army corps is endeavoring to proceed
northwArdly, as though making the ex-
pertinent of opposing the re-estabishment
of such communication with his immedi-
ate front, with Pope's army practically
between him and the other rebel corps
| d'armee.
We may add that Gen. Nc Clelan is
disposing of his heavy force around Wash
ingIon and Alexandria and the lortifca-
tions,so as soon to make it play al event
ful part ir the drama OF the war.
PWLADELruIA, Aug. 3O.--The city au.
thorities have received dispatch this oven.
ing from Col. Thomas A. Scott, saying that
n desperate battle had boon fought to-day
Saturday and that the loss was heavy anC
requesting to have all tho surgeons possibl,
sent to Washington tonight.
WASHINGTON, Aug 30-To days Evening
Star, speaking of Fridays battle says it wal
continued by tho corps of Hointzelman
Mcdowell and Sigel, against tho rebel
numbering about &c, 900, consisting of Jack
son and u portion CT Lees army, which sue
coeded in getting from White Plains through
= Thorougfare Gap. Tho battle took place
in tho vicinity of lIaymarket, off in the di
roction OF Sudley Church and but few mile
northwest OF Bull Run. Ieintzeman's corp
came up with the cncmy's rear about II
: u. M, miles from Controvillo. and tount
Stonowall Jackson fighting with Mcdowell
or Sgel, or both, on tho right. Our inform
ant said nothing definite resulted from th
= days fighting, which, though continuous
D had not been bloody.
Others who loft the field at four o'clocl
/ represent the success as decidedly in favo
| of tho Union army, which pushed tho rebel
on both sides. An impression prevails tha
tho reserve of Lees army, supposed to b,
20 900 to 10000 strong, might suddenly ap
! pear on tho field. Tho railroad has abroad,
. been repaired to Bull Run, aud supplies ar,
7 being transported. Before evacuating Ma
a uassas the rebels parolod 700 Union pris
oners. 800 belonged to Taylor's brigade.
