The Latest News.

But few particulars Of the battle Of Cedar Run be-
tween the forces Of Gen "Stonewall" jackson and
Pope have yet transpired. Enough, however, is
known to place it among the fercest battles of the
war. 1t was clearly a victory for the Southern
c,use and its effects are being felt severely at the
North.
The northern accounts represent their loss as be-
ing very heavy. Gen. Geary's brigade is said to
have lost 1900 men, The 9th Ohio regiment was
said to have been nearly annihilated The srd Wis
consn fed like sheep. The enemy acknowledge a
loss of 400 killed. and 1900 wounded We took
nearly 100 prisoners one gun, about 5000 stand of
small arms and large amount of stores. The North
ern papers admit that Pope was out-generaled by
jackson.
Mcclellan is believed to be at Fredericksburg with
portion of his force few days will, no doubt,
bring tidings of a severe battle. Gen. Jackson is
doubtless being reinforced, and he has fallen back
to strong position.
Morgan made dash upon Gallatin, Tenn last
week, taking 300 prisoners and destroying much
Federal property. The guerrlllas of the West are
playing havoc with the Yankees. We expect to
hear of stirring times in the West at an early day
1t is said that the Yankees will evacuate Baton
Rouge. The guerrillas are retallatng upon the
Yankees at Decatur, Ala, and Furnishing them Sc

not promptly complied with, the Partisan compa
