THE BATTLE PROGRESSES.

We have news from the vicinity OF Fairfax sta
ton that heavy firing has been going on this
morning, apparently In the vicinity of Manassas
a. though the action Of Yesterday there Is still in
progress This fact inclines US to the belief that
the current engagement there is a general one
between most Of General Pope's army and most
Of the rebel army.
suddenly disappeared az It were last evening
from the vicinity Of the Orange railroad, looks to
Us like retrogade movement on J.'s part to aid
his own rear until the rebel army corps may be
able to get down to support 1t. We will, how
ever, probably be In the dark In washington
concerning the particulars Of this battle for at
least twenty -four hours.

ESCAPED.

Sylvester Bailey, Of the sth Connecticut, and
Joseph Holmes, LIST Connecticut cavalry, who
were taken prisoners In the late rebel raid on
Catlett's Station, arrived In the city last night.
having escaped from their csptors while being
taken through the woods Of Fauquier, towards
Front Royal. They were stripped by the rebels
OF their clothing, which was superior to their
own, and worthless rebel uniforms put on them
After making their escape they travelled three
days in the woods, and succeeded In reaching
Edwards Ferry, from whence they were sent
here. They confirm our statements In regard to
the attacking force being entirely Of cavalry,
which numbered some two or three hundred,
under Fitzhugh Lee.

THE TWELFTH PENNSYLVANIA CAV
AIRY

ALk1.
We have the following further particulars IN
reference to the 12th Pennsylvau;a cavalry, which
wa. accused Of skedaddling recently, in Skin
mish near Manassas.
On last Tuesday, August %, the regiment was
ordered away from nj anassas against the protesta-
lions Of the Colonel, to Gainesville, where they
encountered two regiments Of rebel infantry, and
what was supposed to be a brigade Of infantry In
the woods. The 18th Pennsylvania cut their way
through q column which had gotten In their rear,
and retreated in order towards Bristow Station,
where they were obliged to cut their way through
another force Of rebels.
Arrived at Manassas, they found their old camp
entirely In rebel possession and the Federal bat
teries turned against them. Here again the
cavalry cut their way through, and went on to.
wards Fairfax, and thence to Alexandria, arriving
at the latter place at O'Clock on Wednesday
night The regiment was not, a. stated, 500
strong, but had not more than 600 men, $50 OF
whom are now wounded or prisoners in the hands
Of rebels at Manassas. One major, one captain,
four hrst lieutenants, Eve second lieutensnts,
Were also killed, wounded or taken prisoners.
1t was not raid Of the Rebels, but an advance
In force, and In numbers so far superior that the
cavalry would have been annihilated. Colonel
Pierce, who had been confined to his bed for two
weeks, was too Ill to take command and Major
Titus, who led the troop, was shot, and 10 now
in Rebel hands. The reason for going to Alex
andria was, that there was no other point where
provisions or forage could be obtained, and the
horses had been on the march twenty four hours.
The statement as to the greenness Of the horses
is confirmed. The regiment had never been
drilled since their horses were obtained, three
weeks ago; and the horses had never even had a
shot fred from their backs.
At the retreat some time ago through the VAL
ley Col. Pierce was highly and personally COM
plimented by Gen. Shields for his bravery and
soldierly bearing throughout the retreat.
