PHILADELPHIA, August 80
Ihe Washington Star of last evening con-
tains the following:
We have information that satisfies us that
the rebel force that suddenly appeared be-
tween the position of Gen. Pope and Bristow
and Manassas on Tuesday night last was the
army of jackson and Stuart's independent cav
airy corps. They consisted of infantry and
artillery and marched about 10000 strong from
Waterloo, on the head waters of the Rappa-
hammock, around by White Plains to Manassas,
about forty miles i'll two days, without wagons,
tents, blankets, or even knapsacks, thus leav-
ing their baggage of every description to be
transported by wagons, with the army corps of
Lee which was following on behind them In
stead oil lighting merely portion of Stuart's
cavalry at Manassas on day before Yesterday
: sIayior's brigade were actually confronted by
the greater portion of Jackson's corps de
armee, Maj. Gems. jackson, Ewell. Talliafero
and A. T. Hill and Stuarts and the General
m-chief Robert Lee, or his son. Brig. Gen.
fitL Hugh Lee being present at Manassas
during the engagement.
Yesterday ut | o'clock p. NJ .Jacksons adj
vance occupied Fairfax Court House in force
by cavalry and had collected their own wound
ed oil the day before with Taylor, if not their
wounded OF the engagement on the same day
with Hooker, and also the prisoners they took
from Taylor. In the afternoon about 500 of
his cavalry force under Stuart in person nov
ed down from Fairfax Court House to Vienna.
lockers battle of the day before yesterday
was with Eweli's division and was gratifying
success
Maj. Gen. Pope by half past nine yesterday
morning had concentrated his very large army
SO as to safely Interfere with the calculations
upon which the rebel generals must have ven
tured their bold and extraordinary move
ment. He had got McDowelfs force incud-
ing Gen. Sigefs probably between .Jaekson's
rear and Longstreet's front and also all the
rest of his army well up within supporting dis
tance. Thus it continued through the bal
ance of the afternoon.
Facts within our knowledge lead to the inn
preston that in "a hours direct communica-
ton will have been established between Wash
lngton and Maj. Gen. Pope's army, more es-
pecialy as their arr. signs that Jacksons army
corps Is endeavoring to proceed northwardly
as though making for the experiment of oppos-
ing the re-establishment OF such communica-
ton with his immediate front with Popes
army, practically between him and the other
rebel corps de armee. We may add that Gen.
Mcclellan is disposing of his heavy Union
lorces around Washington and the fortitica-
tions which will soon play an important part
in the eventful drama of the hour.
In the battle of yesterday the attack certain
ly came from our side.
