the rebels lost Gen EwclI killed, Stone
wall Jackson, badly wounded, and 4
large proportion of Generals and other
field officers. Gen. Sigel was wound

New York, Sept. 2.
Irlbune's correspondence says it is
generally conceded that Gen. pope
somewhat exaggerated our loss in the
dispatch, fixing it at 5000 in killed and
wounded, and decidedly exaggerated
the enemy's loss in placing it at doub-
lie that number.
The records Of all the battles, inclu-
ding that Of Saturday, will show us it
brought q loss Of from 10 900 tn II, 900
at least, on our side, in killed, wounded
and prisoners.
The loss OF the enemy is thought to
have been less, since they fought much
as usual behind cover.
Many ofou artillery horses, at which
the enemy directed many Of their hea-
w guns, were shot down, and several
batteries were captured !
TIE cnemy's whole force, according
to nearly every prisoners account, is
now entirely surrounded by our army,
with no possibility Of escaping without
the greatest battle Of the campaign be
ing fought against greatly superior
numbers.
\ gentleman who arrived from Bull
Run this morning, Monday, says tina,
fighting was going or all Yesterday,
between Centrevil!e and Thoroughfare
Gap. Yesterday morning, BY order of
Ger. Pope, AS ears and ) locomotives
were destroyed by fire, together with
u large quantity of ammunition and
stores at BristoW Station
The empty cars and engines alone
are estimated ut $ IS ,OOO The rebels
burned two engines and As cars at the
same place on Tuesday night. 1t is
said that within the last twenty-four
hours the enemy has fallen back to a
new line of defense
\ lieutenant who was captured saws
that $50, 900 rebels attempted to get
through Thoroughfare Gap, but that
only 100, 900 were able to do so. Their
forces were commanded by Ewell, Hill
and Jackson.
The divisions of Generals King and
Ricketts, are fearfnlly cut up. The
brigade Of Gen Hartshuff has lost more
than half its officers Towers and
Duryea's. in the same division, also
suffered greatly
Gen. Banks engaged the enemy near
Bristow Station. From all that I can
learn, 1t seems he was attacked by a
column under Gen. Lee in person, NOV
ing from the direction Of the Kappa
hammock. 1850, ne will probably have
a double task to perfornl-to repulse
both Gen. Lee from the Rappahannock
and a portion Of JacksonS' or Long
