THOROUGH ROUTE OF THE REBELS.
A Great Battle probably fought
Friday.
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.

New YORK, August 20.
Generals. Burnside and Pope cut their way
through and formed junction with McClei-
Ian. The rebels were driven through the
mountain passes by fighting J oe Hooker, Sum-
ner and Sturges. The rebels were thoroughly
routed. general battle was probably fought
to-day, Friday.
Office of Associated Press Agency-We
have reliable advces, through letters received
tonight, that affairs at Washington and Alex
andrla to-day wore more favorable aspect
The secessionists of thelatter city are less ubi-
liant and carry Respondent countenances-
Gems. Burnside and Pope have successfully cut
their way through the rebel forces to Manassas
and have formed a junction with the army of
Virginia, under Gen. Mcclellan, this side of
Centerville. There has been a severe engage
ment with the rebels, by the divisions under
the command of Generals Hooker, Sturgs
and Sumner in which the rebels were complete
ly routed and driven back from the vicinity of
Manassas and Bull Run, through the passes of
the Bull Run Mountains.
The loss of life on both sides is said to have
been heavy No accurate information is OBJ
tainable on this point, but it is believed the en-
emy is very severely punished, and many pris
oners taken.
1t is also stated that the Potomac river is
now fordable at any point above Washington,
and much excitement prevails throughout
Washington and Maryland, arising from the
fear that portion Of the rebel army may make
desperate and destructive raid in that quar-
ter, but the arrangements for proper recep-
ton of the traitors at all points are ample for
all emergencies of such nature.
The enemy has not yet appeared on the Up
per Potomac although indications have point
ed to such an event, and the excitement on
both sides of the line continues
The fears for the safety of Washington are
entirely dispelled, as the deenccs of the capi-
tai are perfect and impregnabie. The general
feeling of the loyal people OF both Alexandria
and Washington is one of more confidence
and the impression which has prevailed among
loyal men for the past week, has given way to
that of joy and gladncss. That there have
been the most extensive movements of troops
from Alexandria and other points, is beyond
doubt, and it currently believes that the ma
jor portion of our army has had either skir-
mishing or hard fought battles with the enemy
within the last "A hours. 1t is generally be-
lieved an extensive forward movement was
made by the whole army under Gen. McClel-
Ian, involving battle, but the result, If bat
tie was fought, has not been announced. Our
advices are up to to-day, (Friday,l and are
from the most trustworthy sources.

MANASSAS JUNCTION, Aug. %, 10 p. NJ.
To Maj. Gen. III. w. Halleck:
As soon as L discovered that large force of
the enemy was turning our right towards Ma
nasas, and that the division had ordered to
take post there two days before had not arriv-
ed there from Alexandria, Immediately broke
up my camps at Warrenton Junction and War
renton, and marched rapidly back in three col
umDs. l directed Mcdowell, with his own
and Sigel's corps and Reno's division. to
march upon GAINESVILLE, by the Warrenton and
Alexandria turnpike, Reno and one division of
Heintzelman's TO march on Greenwich, and
with Porter's corps and Hooker's division
marched back TO Manassas Junction. Mellow
ell was ordered to interposc between the forces
of the enemy which had passed down to Ma
nasas through GAINESVILLE, and his main body
moving down from White Plains. through the
thoroughiare Of the Gap. This was complete
ly accomplished, Longstreet who had passed
through the Gap being driven back to the west
side. The forces to Greenwich were designed
to support Mcdowell in case he met too large
force of the enemy The division of Hook
ers, while marching towards Manassas, came
upon the enemy near Kettle Run on the after
noon of the 27th, and after sharp skirmish
routed them completely killing and wounding
300 and capturing their camps and baggage
and many stands of arm.
This morning the command pushed rapidly
to Manassas junction, which johnson has
evacuated After three hours fighting he
retreated by way of Centreville, and took the
turnpike towards Warrenton. He was met 6
miles west of Centreville by Mcdowell and
Sigel late this z. NJ. A severe fight took
place, which was terminated by darkness
The enemy was driven back at all points, and
thus affairs rest.
Heintzelman's corps will move on him by
daylight, from Centreyille, and / do not see
how the enemy are to escape without heavy
loss. We have captured 1000 prisoners, many
arms and one piece of artillery.

Russian Customs.

In this desolate region / saw old men with
grey hair and ruddy faces who had lived
through sixty dark winters and as many shade
less summers, and seemed contented if not
happy. But utter forgetfulness seems TO be
their highest pleasure. When the Russian
peasant has earned enough to afford the luxu-
ry, he goes to town when all the church bells
are ringing to hail some saints day: he sol
emily attends the ceremony of church worship
and goes through all the required forms of
kneeling, prostration, and making the signs of
the cross. This done he hastens to the brandy
shop, land sometimes the priest goes with
him)-there he wastes no time, but pulls out
his money and buys as much brandy as he can
afford. He does not toy with his liquor but
swallows il at once, and in few minutes falls
senseless upon the floor. The tavern keeper
takes his satisfied customer by the heels and
draws him out into the street, there to lie un-
til next morning. Frequently as we entered a
town after the celebration of some festival, we
sawa score of brandy drinkers lying by the
side of the road.
Even love in this country seems to have
caught some frost from the climate. We con-
tinued on as far as Ustjug-Weiiki, and here
we found an amusing instance of national
taste. In the market-place stood long row
OF stout, honest-looking, ruddy-cheeked peas
ant girls, each with baakct on her arm
They had come up the river to sell themselves.
1t was a market for wives with their dowries
in their basket! The young men of Ustjug-
Welikl walked along the tempting line of
faces, in very apathetic way, and seemed to
be quite In earnest in peeping into the baskets
as looking on the faces of those willing girls.
and my companion made an appraisal of
there charms thus freely exhibited, and l
thought two or three might have served us as
wives, had our circumstances allowed of such
speculation. Positively, there was some
thing to me quite charming in this plain busi-
ness-like arrangement of matrimony, as con-
trasted with the same thing done in our fash
ionabe circles. in such an indirect, round
about end hypocritical stile.
