GEN. BANKS JOINED GEN. POPE.
Preparation for the Wounded.
AmbuIances captured by the
Enemy.

WASHINGTON, September 1.
Recent advices received from the vicinity of
the late sanguinary conflicts i'm Virginia with
the enemy, report affairs in that locality as be-
ing comparatively quiet. The news from that
quarter to-day has been. considering the in
tense excitement and hustle prevalent, decid-
edly meagre.
Rumors and stories of the most extravagant
nature have been circulated throughout the
city, great majority of which have been
found on inquiry and reasoning to be entirely
unreliable.
Parties who left Centrevlle yesterday after
noon report that the command of Gen. Banks,
which had been rumored was cut off. COM
menced arriving at that point about 5 o'clock
yesterday L. Nj. There can be but very little
doubt OF the correctness of this report as our
informant states he witnessed the arrival of
this command 1t is further stated that a
march OF % miles was accomplished by them
on that day in order to reach that position.
The greatest attention is being given to the
condition of the wounded, who are conveyed
with all possible promptitude to the various
departments prepared for their reception. An
over abundance OF nurses and physicians have
rendered their services, and its most assuredly
true that the brave men who have fallen in de-
fence of the national honor will not want for
sympathy and kind attention in their suffer-
ings.

In the field Fort Scott, Ka., Aug. 26.
Correspondence of the Missori Democrat
The greatest activity prevails here in get
ting this army ready for an immediate adj
vance towards Arkansas. Gen. Blunt COM
handing the forces here, has received infor-
nation that all the troops in the department
of Kansas, and all those in Southwest Missou-
ri, including all the recent levy of militia, will
be concentrated at such points as he shall de-
signate. This portion of the army is finely
equipped, and contains four complete batteries
of guns each. The troops have been brigad-
ed, and the different commanders are ordered
to move their commands to suitable piece
east and south Of Fort Scott, where full sup
ply of foraging, grass and full supply of good
healthy water can be obtained.
Information has just been received here con-
firming the report that the rebels are concern
tratng in large numbers at Cross Hollow, Ark
with the intention of marching north, propos-
ing TO take Fort Scott and then Fort Leaven-
worth. Pike had made speech to his men,
saying he intended to be quartered in Fort
Leavenworth before snow fell. There is no
mistake that such is the idea held out to the
rebel force now concentrated at Cross Hollow
and the recent expedition under Cockerel and
Coffee to Lone Jack was for the purpose of
escorting the new leyies down to Arkansas
Hundreds of men have followed them. and
they had the two pieces of the Indiana battery
which they captured at Lone Jack, but they
were mostly without arms
Day before yesterday Quantrell and Hayes
band came upon six companies of the I'd Kan
sas and three companies of the 9th Pennsylva-
mia near Lamar. Major Campbell and Capt.
Greene, of the 9th, attacked them with 600
of their men, and had severe fight. Two
men were killed and twenty-one wounded
Lieut. Col. Bassett, commanding the I'd Kan
sas, marched upon the opposite side of the
stream out of danger. The wounded men say
that the rebels had about 700, and if Bassett
had helped, they would have whipped them.-
Col. Cloud left his forces the day before to re-
port at this place. All say that had he been
there, Quantrel and Hayes would have been
taken.

sound hearted, kindly ynatnred man, who
will treat the Administration and the War
more fairly than any other man whom the
Copperheads now dominant and rampant
IN New Jersey could be induced TO vote for.
Next, be is possible candidate for next
President, and it is but fair to give the
People tonch Of bis quality nS a states,
man preliminary to 1864 And in the
third place, no other man in America-not
even Gen. Buell-has contributed 50 sig.

Middle States as Gen. Mcclellan II. then
there is gratitude or honor among the lead
iug bene6ciaries by those triumphs, the!
will see that he is offered forthwith one o
the best places within the gift of their
party Talk about 1864 is very well in its
