The press Of tie Southern ConfederaCy has
latterly becn considerably exercised in regard to
the extensive preparations made by the Federal
Government to crush the rebellion. In view Of
these preparations the Richmond Examiner
thinks it providential that tho Rebel Congress
should have met Just when il did, and says:
at is confronted at the threshold Of its pro.
ceeding by no less fact than the rapid recruit.
ing of six hundred thousand troops by the pub
lie enemy, to be used, 10 addition to those al.
ready Invading the country, avowedly FOR its i'm
poveriShment, SuhjugatiOn and enslaveInent. To
repsl this formidable power, it has n-tbe field
less than three hundred thousand effective men |;
and measures must At once be taken to meet this
exigcnt state Of affairs"
Speaking Of naval matters, It adds
1--WE are now, SO far as the public interests
will allow to be revealed, even to Congrsss, with
out anything except that notable Secretary, Mr..
Mallory, a Navy Department, Navy Bureau,
and swarms Of navy clerks, which the vast es.
tablishment Of Great Britain would scarcely Suf
flee to keep employed. It has been proposed,
through the press, to put Mr.. Mallory into the
Merrimac No. 2, and to blow up both together"
This indicates anything but spirit oT harinunS
among the traitors. None need be surprised at
a grand fare up sooner or later, il they are not
speedily whipped or starved into submission.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY !
A WOMAN .URDERED BY HER HUSBAND.

A terribl affair-the horrible work of
the demon runa--occured in SINNERS
Lane, last rght. One OF the old wooden
buildings which compose that notorious
locality, hs been occupied of late by
VIM. Barne and his wife, living alone in
the house. He is an Englishman, a sort
of cattle door or farrier, also gaining his
livelihood ilpart by such jobs as the
cleaning of nix holes and privies. His
wife was an rishwoman, whom, it is said
he married Quebec. The testimony
before the croner's inquest, shows that
both were rtoriously Incorporate, and
when drunk we're very quarrelsome.
About ono'clock this morning, some
of the neighbrs were aroused by Bar
net, who toll them that his wife had cut
her throat. Sheriff Flanagan and DR..
Thayer wereummoned, and revolving
scene was son disclosed. On the bed, in
small bed-Tom up stairs, lay the dead
body of the pman, in her customary ap-
parel, her thrat cut from ear to ear, her
right arm exnded above her head and
holding a body knife-a coarse dull
bread-knife olbutcher- knife with wood
en- handle--th bed clothing and pillow
soaked with bod, and the wall spattered
and stained VIII the same terrible witness
of crime. TIE evidence would seem to
leave no room for doubt, that it was
murder. and that she died by the hand of
her drunken primer. 81.

The facts of the raid on Manassas, as
obtained from courier this morning ar
rived, are as follows:
On Tuesday night, about o'clock, the
pickets at Manassas Junction were driven
in, and two companies of the 1854
Pennsylvania Infantry, one company of
the Pennsylvania Cavalry, shd some ar
tilery stationed there. ,drprised and at

numbering iy~a 1000 to 10000 infantry
and earsfy, with artillery.
.4ner a short skirmish the handful of
men at the junction fled, the rebel
turning upon them nine of our own guns,
and keeping up brisk fire till the Union
troops were taken plisoners--a few es-
Gaping across Bull Run. Here, at Union
Mills two Regiments of Gen. Cox's divis-
ion, the 18th and 18th Ohio, under Col.
Scammon, were stationed and they i'm
mediata.y advanced to meet he ap-
preaching body of rebels. A conflict
ensued in the early morning between the
junction and Bull Run, lasting for three
hours, when the Union troops, being
largely outnumbered and fanked on the
right, retired across Bull Run bridge.
Here a vigorous attempt was made by
Col. Scammon to hold the bridge. At
o'clock two rebel regiments forded the
Ran above the bridge, when the 18th
Ohio charged on them, and drove them
across the river with heavy loss. In this
skirmish Capt. D. w. Pauly was wounded
slightly. The regiment lost, in killed,
wounded, and missing, 80 to 40 men.
At II o'clock Col. Scammon was
obliged to retire, moving along the rail-
road in the direction OF Alexandra. The
rebels advanced across Bull Run, and YES

THE REBEL LEFT WING REPUL-
SED

ATTEMPT TO TURN THE RIGHT OF GEN.
PoPE-FIFrY THOUSAND REBELS DRIv-
EN- BACK ACROSS THE RAPPAHANNoCK
THE UNION ARMY RESUMES THE OF
FENsIvE.
Washington, Wednesday, Aug. ~,
A force of $4,000 rebels-their whole
left wing--crossed the Rappahanock on
Sunday morning last, near the Warren
ton Springs. The force embraced infant
ry, cavalry and artillery, and the indica-
tons were that they had crossed with
determination to stay. They were prompt
ly met by our forces in the vicinity, and
after brief skirmish the enemy retired,
no doubt not relishing the appearance of
what they had to contend against. Gen.
Birney's Brigade was ordered up to the
right early in the morning, but before they
were in position the rebels had retreated,
and the brigade was ordered back.
The troops have been under orders to
cross the Rappahanoek River in force and
hold the other bank since Sunday night.
The movement has been delayed on ac-
count of the delay in bringing up Hook
er's Division, which only left Alexandria
yesterday.
The fate Of this rebellion, IN all human
probability, a0iU be decided e0ithta tVo
aoeeks. | have talked with many rebel
prisoners, officers ana men, and all have
but one story to tell-viz: their army is
larger than ours in Virginia, and they are
going to Washington. But they say, if
beaten in the fight which opened last
Thursday, " their jig is up" Jackson, in
an address to his troops last Wednesday,
told them the Contederacy was ruined if
the rebel army should be whipped.
