ROBERT BowKER, EsQ.-The name of Mr..
Bowker of Brunswick, has been mixed up
with the Lindsay letter. Mr.. Bowker is a
worthy citizen, and we are assured that his
neighbors will require something stronger
than any letters from W. S. Lindsay & Co. to
destroy their confidence in him. They can
more easily believe that Lindsay would lie
than that Bowker is disloyal. Mr. Bowker
has never written Lindsay; he has written
numerous letters to Mr.. Strnger-Lindsay's
former partner-copies of which he has kept,
and the tone of them forbids the idea that he
has said word to the firm or any member of
it, inconsistent with the truest loyalty. He
utterly discaims having written word of the
kind. He did say to Stringer in one of his
letters, that he was glad the firm was dissolv-
ed, as Lindsay was regarded as one of our
worst enemies. So much in Justice to Mr..
Bowker.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, August 80
According to all accounts Stonewall Jack
son yesterday succeeded in forcing his way
through the federal army, surrounding him,
and effected a junction with the remainder of
the rebel forces. This result was not obtained
without fearful loss on both sides,-the most
desperate fighting place, from all that can be
obtained in the absence of any regular report
The corps of Gems Mcdowell. Heintzelman,
Porter and Sigel were engaged - the
first having the left and the last the right, the
Others operating about the centre. The prin-
cipal part of the fighting seems to have been
on the left and centre. The left was thrown
up from Manassas junction towards Thorough
fare Gap. The right was at or near Centre
vile, and the centre on the old Bull Run battle
field.
Alter the most severe fighting our troops
were obliged to fall back on Gen. Franklin's
division, which had just come up and were
formed IN lines to prevent Struggling and any
thing like panic. Had Gen. Franklin's divis-
ion arrived two hours earlier on the field the
result of the days fighting would have been
different.
Gen. Frankn's division retired to Centre
vile after preventing confusion and giving our
retreating troops time TO rally During the
fight the enemy concealed in the woods an
noyed our forces much by their rife practice.
The enemy remased upon the battlefield over
night. To-day there has been some skirmish-
ing. Reniorcements are going up, and bat
tie is anticipated tomorrow. The road from
Alexandria extending to Centreville was
densely crowded all the day with wagon trains,
ambulances, hacks and private conveyances on
their way TO and from the latter place. The
number of wounded sent to Washington was
comparatively small. Not few persons who
had reached Centreville intending to aid the
sick and wounded were turned back for the
reason that the battlefield of Manassas was in
possession of the rebel troops, and that their
services were not needed.
Many who have ridden to Centrevile, have
returned to Alexandria on foot

SUTTING THE ACTION TO THE WoRD.-We
understand that the Rev. Mr.. Stebbins, of the

his proposal at the close of his eloquent appeal
in aid of enlistments, at the Late great war
meeting at the City Hail. has procured TWO
young men, who have enrolled their names
among the new recruits, having been induced
so to do by the encouragement held out TO
them by this gentleman, who declared himself
ready TO shoulder the musket himself, were
il not for the insurmountable barriers in his
way, and In consequence promised to supplyla
substitute, which promise he has more than
fulfilled. 4e
BUBGLARY.-The mansion house of T. c.
Hersey, Esq, on Danforth street, was entered
by burglars sometime during Sunday night,
and stripped it of all the silver ware, and even
the money boxes ,of the children. 1t must
have been at quite a late hour in the night, or
early in the morning, that the depreciation was
committed, as we understand the family did
not retire until about II o'clock. The rascals
must also have been adopts at their business,
Judging from the GOODNESS and thoroughness
with which they accomplished their work, as
we understand they not only searched the clos
cts and drawers, but even ransaeked clothing,
making thorough work as they progressed.
We have not learned the value of the arti-
cles taken, which must have been very con-
siderable.
