Further Particulars,

New York, Sept. |.
The TriJune's Washington dispatch da-
ted Sunday, says at 3 p. NJ. the anticipa>
ton that great battle would be fought to
day, Sunday, was probably unfounded.-
No firing has been heard and no news
of renewal OF the contest, except.
that telegram, dated at Fairfax Station
lI:30 A. NJ, speaks of heavy guns being
heard in the neighborhood Of Bristow Sta>
ton. This is hoped in highest quarters
here to be the noise caused by the blowing
up of bis trains by Gen. Banks, who, it is
feared, is cut off with his whole corps.
Five hundred rebel prisoners were a.
Fairfax Station awaiting transportation to
Washington.
They concur in saying, as does informa
ton from all other sources, that the whole
rebel army was engaged under Lee com
mand. lis numbers no Cue OF them SET at
less ..hnau 100000, and many estimated
them at 100000 or 300, 900.
The prisoners also all say that they were
promised an easy and speedy march into
Washington. They were certainly to DE
tnere Wltnln week.
New York, Sept. T..
The TriJune's extra this morning cons
tains Washington letter, dated Sunday,

Nothing later than Po2e's dispatch OF
Saturday received by the government this

Distant firing was heard Saturday p. NJ.
and late in the evening.
A conrier arrived at Halleck's headquar
tiers this morning with the news that Pope
had fallen back to Centreyile.
A staff officer from the battle field at
five P. NJ. Saturday, states that tho battle
commenced Thursday p M. Sigel's corps
engaged the rebel cavalry brigade on the
road from Warlenton, and drove them
back, the battle lasting till $50 in the
evening.
This fight was with Jackson's rear guard,
whose force was estimated at 10000.
Wednesday morning Jackson undouUt-
edly formed a junction with Longs.reet.
Sherman's Battery opened the battle
Friday morning. Milroy's Brigade led
the advance, and Sigel formed line of
battle with Schurz on the right, Schenck
on the left, and Steinwehr on the centre
The rebels were gradually forced back,
till P. NJ. they then suddenly and
fercely charged bayonets, forcing Milroy
back. Schenck sent brigad] forward,
but both were driven back. Milroy's cou
mand was so badly cut up, tina, he could
Lot gather regiment.
Schurz and Steinwehr were holding
their own in the woods on the left Of
schenck. Heavy masses OF rebels appear
ed, and Stevens and Reynolds Divisions
were cent up and all were driven back.

ANOTHER BATTLE FOUGHT

Washington, Aug. 80.
To days Egening Star, speaking of Fri
days battle, saws. it was continued by the
corps of Heintzelman, Mcdowell, and ST.
gel, against the rebels numbering about
about $4,000, consisting of Jackson's and
portion of Lees army, which succeeded
in getting from White Plains through
Thoroughfare Gap.
A battle took place in the vicinity OF
Haymarket, off in the the direction of Sud
ley's Church, and but few miles north
west Of Bull Run. Heintzelman's corps
came up with the enemy's rear about 10
A. NJ, seven miles from CentreviIle. lie
found Stonewall Jackson fighting with
Mcdowell, or Sigel or both on the right.
Our informant said nothing definite re-
suited from the days fighting, which, tho
continuous, had not been very bloody
Others who left the field at four o'clock,
represent that the success was decidedly
in favor of the Union army, which pushed
the rebels successfully on both sides.
The railroad has already been repaired
to Bull Run, and supplies are being trans
ported to there.
Gen. Pope's conduct is highly praised
in government and other quarters.
Nearly 1000 government clerks have
repaired to the battle fields to attend TO
the dead and wounded on both sides.
The following is gathered from private
sources Tuesday night report reached
| Warrenton Junction. tina. Jackson was
again in our rear, and had taken position
! ho -,
south of Manassas; burned the two rail
road bridges, tore up the track, and taken
prisoners all the guards along the road
This information subsequent events proved
true.
Washington, Aug. 81.
Private advices from fredericksburg up
to p. M, Yesterday, contradicts the re-
ports regarding the burning of bridges and
destruction of property in that locality
Burnside at 3 P. M, yesterday, had pos
session there.
Sunday, 1885 A. NJ.
The enemy was heavily reinforced yes
terday, and attacked Pope's army before
Sumner and Franklin arrived. The at
tack was boldly met, and severe battle
followed. The advantage on the whole
was with the enemy, and Pope fell back to
Centrevile with his whole army in good
condition, and has been joined by Sumner
and Franklin. He occupies the strongest
position in the vicinity of Washington, and
is expected to promptly renew the contest
Every effort should be used to hasten for.
ward new troops.
Pope's statement that HeintzeIman' S
corps would move on the enemy at day
light, is confirmed by heavy firing from
that vicinity.
The impression prevails that the rebels
have been entrapped. The result of recent
movements IS looked for with intensity.
Washington, Aug. 3l-A. NJ.
Information received to night, indicates
that there has beer little of any fighting
to-day.
Our army is we'll concentrated, and the
men are in good condition and spirits.

Arrest of Hon. C.. J. Ingersoll.

Hon. CHARLES J. INGERsoLL, of Phila-
delphia, was recently arrested for making
a Democratic speech in that city. The
New York World, very decent Republi,
can paper, speaks of the matter as follows:
" We publish elsewhere the speech de-
livered by Charles J. Ingersoll at the Phil
adeI phia Democratic meeting, for which he
has been arrested by order of the govern
ment. 1t no doubt contains world Of in
cendiary and disoyal matter, or he would
not have been arrested but great many
honest'people will cudgel their brains with
out finding it out. lie expresses doubt
as to the wisdom and honesty Of the ad-
ministration, it is true; but then Horace
Greeley and Wendell Phillips have done
the same thing in a fifty fold more often
sive manner-yet the one offender receives
respectful letter signed "a. Lincoln, "
and the other sent to Jail.
1t is an extraordinary spectacle which
have witnessed for the last year-a free
people, the freest on earth, tenacious of
their rights, imperious for the largest lih>
ertv, quietly submitting to the suspension
Of their rights and liberties. to a restricted
freedom of the press, the suspension of the
habeas corpus, imprisonments withouttrial.
The President of the United States and
his advisers will terribly mistake the tenn
per Of the American people, the secret of
their submission to, Of their demand fol-
these stretches of executive power, if they
presume or act upon the presumption that
they will tolerate them for any other end
whatever than the suppression Of the res
belion."
The following is the language attributed
to Mr.. INGERsoLL, and for which he was
arrested
THE war is an abolition war; it is
waged by the Administration with view
to Emancipation, and not to the restora-
ton Of the Union and the preservation of
the Constitution that vast sums and vast
armies have been raised by the govern
ment, and remain uDaccounted for that

their front being at the fartherest point
of the old field. They hold their old rifle

1t is generally conceded that General
Pope somewhat exaggerated our loss in
the despatch, fixing it at 5000 in killed
and wounded, and decidedly exaggerated
the enemy's loss in placing it at double
that number. The record of all the bat
ties, including that of Saturday, will show
as it is thought, loss of from 10000 to
10000 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.
Our artillery horses, at which the enemy
directed many Of their heavy guns, were
shot down and several batteries were caps
tured.
The enemy's whole force, according to
nearly every prisoners account, is now en-

possibility of escaping without the great

these: When our forces came into possession
of this locality, there were quite a number of
loaded shells lying scattered about, hardly any
two in place. Our Colonel cautioned the
men about handling them, remarking, that as
they were capped they might explode. No
order had been given by the proper authority
for the disposal of them, and in. the arranging
