Saturday, viii show, as is thought loss Of
from 10000 TO l20O0, at least on our side, in
killed, wounded and prisoners. The ioAe Of the
enemy IL though to have been less hince they
fought much, as usual, behind cover. Many of
onr artillery horsea ut which the enemy direct
cd many Of iher heavy guns were shot down,
and several battories werc captured
The eeneniy's force according 10 nearly every
prisoners account 10 now entirely surrounded
BY OUT army, with no possibility Of escaping
without the greatest battle OF the campaign, be-
ing fought against greatly superior numbers.
A gentleman who arrived from Bull Run this
(Monday) morning, says fighting was going on
all yesterday, between Centerville and Thor
onghfare Gap.
Yesterday morning by order Of Gen Pope,
] 40 cars and locomotives were destroyed by
fire. together with a large quantity Of ammuni-
ton aud stores, at Brist9w Station. The empty
cars and locomotives alone are estimated worth
$lS5000.
The rebels burned two engines and as cars, at
the same place on Tuesday night.
| II is said that within the last "a hours the ene-
my has fallen back to a new line Of defense.
| A Lieutenant, WHO was captured, says that
900 rebels attempted to get through Thor
oughfare Gap but that only 100000 were able
TO do so. Their forces were commanded by
Ewell. Hill and johnson.
The divisions Of Gems. Kink and Ricketts, are
fearfully cut up. The Brigade Of General Hart
stuff has lost more than half ofts officers. Tow
ers and Dureya Of the same division, also suffer-
ed greatly. Gen. Hartstuff was not in com.
mand of his Brigade, but was sick in Washing
lton.
Gen. Banks engaged the enemy near Bristow
Station. From all that can learn, it seems he
was attacked by a column under Gen. Lee in
person, moving from the direction of the Rap
pahannock If so, he probably had double
task to perform to repulse both Gen, Lee from
the Rappahannock and portion Of Jackson s
or Longstreet's forces from this side.
| Burnside, Banks and Hooker seem to have had
an enemy to contend with both front aud rear.
1t is now certain that General Banks not only
burned his own baggage train, but destroyed 3
locomotives and trains of ears laden with am-
munition and supplies. The locomotives and
cars were at Bristow Station.
General Reno said in conversation to-day
that he never saw a more daring act than one
performed by the rebels on Saturday, out of the
woods on the flank ofseveral of his batteries.
They swarmed what appeared to be etrag-
glers from our forces--a few at first, then more
and more until not less than regiment or two
had emerged. He was completely deceived un-
til they were nearly upon his guns when be
caught sight of the "Red patch" knew them to
be rebels, turned his artillery in a twinkling up
on them and destroyed almost every man.
Washington, Sept 2.-Gcns. Kearney and
Stevens were killed in severe engagement
which took place last evening near Chanttilly
about two miles north of Fairfax @. H.. between
a portion of Gen. Pope's army and jackson IS for
J ces. Our loss was heavy, but the enemy was
driven back mile and we occupied the field Of
battle until this A. NJ.

condition.
A Tribune correspondent who went over TIL
field of battle on the same day, says: Sour deaC
lay unhuried as they fell in battle with the ex
ceptioD of their caps and Shoes / did not see
single instance among the whole $50 dead, where
the shoes had not been rifled. Many of the reb
els were barefooted. The rebels dead anC
wounded had all been disposed OF, and not
single vestige of sick, killed or wounded re
mained on the fed-eyen the struggling soldiers
did not know where they had been taken to-
They were evidently buried secretly in tn,
night by the negroes, for occasionally in a deeJ
ravine came across mounds, sometimes ten o
fifteen feet square, where the victims had beer
secreted from the gaze of their own men"
