THIS MORNINGS REPORT.
SPECIAL DISPATCHES.

New YORK, Aug &C.
A Times correspondent states that the
portion of Mcclellan army which embark
ed at Yorktown, has already arrived at
Alexandria. The corps under the command
of Gen. Franklin, which embarkedat Fort.
ress Monroe on Friday, arrived at Alexan-
dria to-day. Also reported that another
corps will come to the same place. In fact
appearances indicate that the entire army
of the Potomac, excepting Gen. Porter
corps, which went to fredericksburg last
week, will make Camp California, the old
camping ground, situated about % miles
from Alexandria, a temporary rendezvous.
1t is the opinion here that the troops now
at Alexandria will, in the course of n day
or two, proceed to join POpe's army.
l am informed that Kearney's division,
which arrived at Alexandria about the
middle of the week, took part in an en-
gagement which took place near Warrenton
yesterday.
The new regiments are daily pouring
into Alexandria, and every day they are
sent forward to join the army.
The Times Washington dispatch says
that Acting Adjutant Murdock, of the Goth
. Ohio, committed suicide last night at Alex
andria, by blowing out his brains with
pistol He was i'll with fever, but was
not thought to be delirious till the deed
was committed.
The Herald's WaTrentOn correspondent
says military critics profess to believe our
forced advances to the Rapidan were pre-
maturely made. Jackson disturbed our
figures somewhat at Cedar Mountain, and
possibly deranged our calculations. As
consequence, he and his co-adiutors assail
yls now within 3fl miles of Manassas aud
with the largest army the rebels have ever
rallied, east orwest. We all look hopeful
ly for the comingof Mcclellan. Burnsides
troops are here. If the new levies were
ever needed, it is at this time. Gen. Pope
is still held to be equal TO any emergency
The crippled but indomitabie Banks is still
with his command, and Mcdowell has an
opportunity to wipe away bloody Tecol-
lection within cannon-shot of Bull Run,
for he is active, and everywhere present.
| The Rappahannock correspondent Of the
Tribune, Says the greatest crisis of this
war occurred between Thursday morning
and Saturday night. II is passed, and we
1 are safe. Washington is safe. Our army
is safe. Our country is safe. The nation
is safe For Popes artillery is now guard
ing the line of the Rappahannock, and Fitz
John Porter, with very heavy force, join
ed Pope on Friday evening, and host of
regiments have joined and are joining him
now by way of Alexandria; and now look
/ for the grand movement Of the war within
/ thirty days Do not forget that Burnside
has massed alarge army at Fredericksburg
and Pope is nearly or quite as strong as
Lee and Jackson, and Mcclellan is freed
/ from the net which held him in its meshes
l on the Peninsula.
Some stir was occasioned in camp, and
a thousand times more in Washington,
find, by sudden raid of 260 guerrillas up
on Cadets Station, under cover Of the
night. They dashed in upon our small
| collection Of men and wagons, and STAN
peding lot of suffers and servants, and
teamsters, burned seven wagons, ran off a
number Of horses, and took about a hun
dred prisoners. The most serious part Of
the business is, they took Gen. Pope's per-
sonal baggage and moneys, and all his Of
fetal papers, correspondence, &C., which
happened to be in one of the wagons which
had been sent to the rear. In the attack
at Catlett's Station, 20 supply trains were
destroyed or their contents injured by the
rebels. Many wagons were too wet to
( burn.
