The Rebels Retreating.
PARTICULARS OF THE Battle


HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA,
CEDAR MOUNTAIN, Aug. u, 1910 Major

under cover of night. His rear is now cross
ing the Rapidan towards Orange Court House.
Our cavalry and artillery are in pursuit

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Accounts from
Culpepper, dated yesterday, speaking of Sat
urday's fight, says, so heavy was the fire to
which our comparatively small force was ex-
posed, the only wonder is that the entire COM
mand was not completely annihilated at the
end of half an hour, instead of bringing off so
large proportion at the end of an hour and
half
Prisoners report that their own troops were
moved down by our fire like grass. Three
times were they reinforced by fresh regiments
and brigades, and when our troop. retired the
rebels were too much crippled to pursue
The prisoners also report that the heavy guns
used by the rebels, were recently mahnIac
tured, and were furnished with English liked
ammunition
We lost but one gun, which was left behind
in ditch spiked, several horses having been
killed Col Chapman of the 9th Connecticut
was shot in the breast and is probably dead;
Lieut. Col. Stone fell with many wounds;
Major Blake, if alive, is prisoner; Adjutant
Smith is wounded or dead. Major Savage of
the ID Massachusetts, is believed to be killed,
as also many captains and leutenants of the
same regiment Other regiments have not
been definitely heard from. Stragglers from
the battle field to town have been arrested;
and by tomorrow an accurate list can be OBJ
tanned of the casualties. Capt. George jarrett
of Banks staff was mortally shot in the breast.
Sunday night about eleven o'clock, while
Gems Pope and Banks were in conference in
the rear OF our advance batteries, a body of
rebel cavalry charged in the most daring man
ner through the woods upon the group. The
discharge of muskets and whizzing of balls
near them gave timely notice of the rebels
approach. Horses were speedily mounted,
and regiment of infantry fired a volley,
changing the charge to a retreat, and probably
saving both commanders.
The war department has information from
the army of Virginia, in front of Slaughters
mountain, up to yesterday evening, General
King, with his whole division, was then within
few miles of the battle field of Saturday,
and has doubtless joined Gen. Pope ere this.
No fighting has occurred in that quarter since
Saturday night last. General Sigel has the
advance.

The Malvern Hill Affair.
A STIR AT NORFOLK.

FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. lin regard to
the occupation and evacuation of Malvern
Hill by the federal troops, little has been said.
Our accommodating division took possession on
Tuesday, and on that day all the generals OF
the army went up, and Gen. Mcclellan sent
hack for a greater part of the army, but the
messenger took the wrong road, and thus was
DELAYED so long, that the troops did not reach
Malvern Hill till it was too late, and only
norton of those sent for arrived at all, and
hose only in season to beat hasty retret. a
This was on Wednesday morning, last
week. and on that day great battle would
have been fought had our forces arrived IN
season, but as some were approaching ana III
sight of Malvern Hill, there was very large
force of rebels seen coming from Richmond,
numbering 100000 men, and ming all tne
roads, passage ways, and vacant lots, us lar
us the eye could reach A retreat was CON
sequently made to Harrison's Landing. zen
Mcclellan had planned for great BATTLE
but the enemy were not asleep, and have Ia
ken possession of Malvern Hill with an I'M
mense army.
Norfolk has been in a state of excitement.
A few days since, an officer of the provost
guard applied to Gen. Mansfield of Suffolk for
permission to search a house in that city for
arms. The authority was given, and arms
and ammunition to some extent were found in
private dwelling near the generals quarters.
Last night in Norfolk triple guard was put
on duty. This has not been done until many
of the guardsmen have been shot at and some
shot down. 1t is understood that all the in
habitants of the district, in the vicinity OF
Norfolk, Suffolk and Portsmouth, are to be
put to the test of either taking the oath of al
iegiancc to the United States or leaving for
rebeldom.

Chicago, Aug. l2.-The following note
explains itself:-''It appears in the newspa-
pers that Mr.. Wendell Phillips stated, at a
public meeting in Boston, that the manage
mcnt of the Illinois Central railroad had said
to him that Gen. Mcclellan could not say no,
directly" Similar remarks are attributed to
US in relation also to the president. We, the
undersigned, directors of the Illinois Central
railroad company, declare that we do not
know Wendell Phillips, have never exchanged
word with him, have never had any COM
munication with him, in fact have never seen
him.

CULPEPPER. VA, Aug. 1.-THE cavalry
BRIGADE. under command of Cen Butord'
made descent on Madison Court House, Oh,
Tuesday last They found that the reoelS hau
been there, but had left. They MADE recon- :
noisanccs in every direction, and met the rebel
pickets on every road. On the 18th INST, our
pickets. on the road to Stanwardsvllle' had a
skirmish, loosing one killed and three wound
ed. On the Sth inst. the LIST Maryland regl-
ment had another skirmish, on the orange
Curt House road, in which they lost five
kiled and four wounded, and about dozen
prisoners. They were then reinforced by the
list Michigan, and the rebels were driven back
to the Rapidan
A strong reconnaissance was made the
same evening to the Rapidan on the Orange
road, and a skirmish was going on without
loss, when orders came from Gen. Buford to
return to Madison Court House. The party
got back at O'Clock in the morning of the
9th inst, and found everything prepared for
retreat toward Sperryyile, as the rebels were
approaching from every direction. The party
reached Woodsville in safety, and there
camped. Subsequently they pushed on and
arrived at Culpepper on Monday night. The
escape Of this brigade is considered almost
miraculous, as they were surrounded on al
most every side. Many gave it up as lost.
Gen. Bnford deserves great praise for the very
able manner in which he extricated his COM
mand from such perilous condition.

Recruiting Matters,

HARRTsBURG, Aug 12.-Gov. Curtin leaves
for Washington tonight, to arrange, if posi-
Bile, with the war department plan by which
counties that have exceeded their qutoa, shall
be accredited with such excess upon the draft.
Many counties have greatly exceeded the
number required Companies for the three
years. or the war, continue to arrive. The
work of organization is going on rapidly and
satisfactorily. Regiments will leave as fast as
transportation is provided.
ALBANY, Aug. l2.-The journal states that
the war department, in answer to an inquiry
for the governor, telegraphs that volunteers
from the old regiments will be received till
the draft is made, which can't be before the LIST
of September, as the preliminary work will
occupy at least twenty days. The journal
states that if enough volunteers enlist to fill
up the old regiments to the full maximum,
there will be no draft in the state, as it will
require $4,000 men therefor.
DETROIT, Aug Pit is officially stated
that Michigan's quota under its first call for
volunteers, is full. Full companies from va
rious parts of the state continue to offer but
cannot be accepted. There will be no diff
Guilty in completing all requisions by the fed
eral government in this state without drafting.

From Washington,

FROM NoSlllHSsoA'
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Last night about
Il hundred prisoners were removed from the
old capital prison to the new military prison
in Georgetown. The greater part of these
were in for desertion. The prisoners brought
up by the Freedom, Sunday, including fif-
teen negroes captured with the parties, were
sent to the old capital prison this morning.
Messrs. Wise and Allen, two well known
police officers Of this city, were arrested, last
night, by Gen. WadSworth, on a charge of
kidnapping.
Large numbers of convalescents are daily
being discharged, and returning to their regi-
ments. Yesterday some forty were sent from
St.Elizabeth hospital across the eastern branch
to the soldiers Rest, preparatory to being sent
to their regiments
The gunboat Chippewa, under command of
commander Berison, which has been for some
months with the blockading squadron off Will
mington, n. c., has arrived at the navy yard,
and this morning her masts were being taken
out, preparatory to giving her a general over
hauling. Simeon Draper Esq, the war de-
partment's commissioner to supervise the bust
ness of collecting and forwarding Struggling
soldiers and officers to their respective regi-
ments, has nothing to do with granting dis
charges or leaves of absence. Letters on
that subject should be addressed to the adju-
tant-general only.
The rule of the war department is that
leave of absence not exceeding twenty days
may be granted to commissioned officers by
the commander of any army or department or
direct when a certificate of medical officer
shall show beyond doubt that a change of To-
cation is necessary to save life or prevent
permanent disability. If an officer cannot
return to his duty when his leave
is out, he need not apply for an ex-
tension, as no order will be issued granting
one. He must account for his absence by
sending to the adjutant general and to his
regimental commander proper medical GER
tificate, and when he returns to duty will be
examined by proper tribunal to ascertain if
he had sufficient cause for absence. No fur
loughs whatever will be given to enlisted
men, and all heretofore given are revoked.
They are cared for in the United States hos
nitals
