CAhP PORT REPUBLIC, June s, NJ.
10 e. N. Stanton, Secretary Of Var
The army left Hsrrisonbnrg at O'Clock,
A. NJ, and at half past eight ny advance
engaged the rebels about seven miles from
that place, near Union Church The enemy
was very advantageously posted in the tim
Der, having chosen his own position, form
Jog a smaller circle than our own, aud with
bis troops formed en- masse. II consisted
undoubtedly Of Jackson's entire force. The
battle began with heavy firing at II o'clock,
and lasted with great obstinaoy and violence
until p M. Some skirmishing nd arlil-
lery firing continued from that time until
dark Our troops fought occasionally un-
der the murderous Ere Of greatly superior
numbers, the hottest Of the smalLarm fire
being on the left wing which was held by
Stahls brigade, consulting of Eve regiments.
The bayOnet aud canister shot were used
freely and with great effect by our men.
The loss on both sides is very great. Ours Is
very heavy among the officers. A full re-
port of those who distinguished themselves
will be made without Partially. desire to
say that both officers and mensbehaved with
splendid gallantry, and that the service Of
the artillery was especially admirable. We
are encamped on the dsld Of battle, which
may be renewed at any moment
J~C. FREMONT Moj. Gen. Cong.
The loss is heavy on both sides, the enemy
suffering especially from our artillery. The
Garibaldi Guards lost nearly 200, the 25th
Ohio GO. The total loss is estima,e ed at from
600 to 800 in killed, wounded, and missing.
Capt Chas. Worth, 18th Ohio, and Surgeon
Cantwell, SD Ohio, are wounded or killed
The rebels fought wholly under cover
while our troops were forced to advance
through open fields. The advance of the
enemy's position and numbers was counter
balanced by General Fremont's faithful
handling of his troops, aud the GOODNESS and
determination with%hich be pressed his re-
sources. The fight was furious for three
hours and continued till nearly dark
WASHINGTON, June lO.-We are Informed
by two gentlemen, one recently from Char
lesion, the other from q city in the interior
of Southwestern State that the rebels are
still entirely cheerful aud confident of ulti-
mate victory. The loss of New Orleans they
regard as but temporary. They expect to
lose Charleston, Mobile, and perhaps all the
seabord, but they declare that they will re-
tire into the interior, where they can never
be subdued.
Information from rebel sources OF an un.
usually trustworthy character indicates that
Beauregard discovered that at Corinth be
wos at the mercy Of Halleck, who could
make BIN fight or delay battle at his pleas
ure. Fully persuaded of this fact, and be.
| lieving battle as inevitable he evacuated.
1t ia doubtful whether the mission of Ma
| jor Stone, Col. Miller, and Capt. Gregg will
be successful. The one obstacle is the uu-
willingness OF the authorities to give up
Gen. Buckner, without whoEe release the
rebels refuse 10 make any more exchanges

psevail over a natural desire to hapg a rebel

some members of the Cabinet that the right
| thing to do is to send these officers who
speak ia behalf Of all the prisoners in the

uufulhled. Other Cabinet ministers, how
| ever, are Of different opinion, and the
| questiod is still unsettled
ST. LOUIS, June ia gentleman just from
| Corinth, who is conversant with matters
| there. says that Gen. Buell., with sixty thou
sand troops, embracing two divisions Of his
own and all of Pope's forces, were at George
town, in hot pursuit Of Bishop Folks rebels.
