Potomac is again victorious. 1t exceeded
IN extent any battle heretofore fought on
the continent At daylight, the battle
was renewed on the centre and RICH, BY
Hooker and Sumner, who after sharp
contest of two hours, drove the enemy a
mile. The rebels rallied shortly, and with
terrible loss recovered most of the
ground. At this Hooker received q shot
in the ankle and was carried from the
field. The command Of his troops de-
volved upon Sumner, who determined to
rstake the lost ground, and ordered his
troops to advance, driving the rebels be-.

desperation. Darkness now overlooked
the two armies, and hosti!ities ceased BY
mutual consent. The battle lasted from
five in the morning until seven at night

oil u large amount of their ammunition,
supplies, &c, besides a small portion of a

in officers equally severe.

crossed into Virginia, via Harpers Ferry,

rebel army that force of Federals had
passed through Thoroughfare Gap. and
intercepted their advance. They suppose
the movement to be under Sigel, Of whom
they stand in great dread.
