PHILADELPHIA, August 3O.-The VI ashington
Star of last evening contains the following intel
ligence:
We have information that satisfies us the rebel
force that suddenly appeared between the position
OF the army OF General Pope and Manassas on
Thursday night last, was the army corps of Jack
son and Stewards independent cavalry corps.
They consisted of infantry and artillery and
marched about 40, 600 strong from near Water
loo, on the head waters of the RappalIannock,
10y White Plains and Manassas, about forty miles,
in two directors, without wagons, tents,
blankets or even knapsacks, thus leaving their
baggage of every description 10 be transported by
wagons with the other army corps of Lee follow
ing on behind them. Instead OF fighting merely
portion of Stuart's cavalry at Manassas day be
fore yesterday, Taylors brigade was actually
confronted by greater portion of Jackson's corps
d. aImee of Maj. Generals jackson. Ewell Tall
ferro, HILL Stuart and the general in chief Robt.
Lee, or his son Brgadler General FitZhugh Lee,
being present at Manassas during the ngagement.
Yesterday at 10 o'clock p NJ, Jackson's ad-
vance occupied Fairfax G. II. with a force of
cavalry and had collected their own wounded of
the action of the day before, with Taylor's and
their wounded in the engagement of the same
day, with Hooker, and also the prisoners they
took from Taylor.
In the afternoon about 400 of their cavalry
force, under Stuart in person, moved OH from
Fairfax Court House to Vienna
HoOker's battle of the day before yesterday
was with Ewell's Division and was a gratifying
success
Major Gen. Pope, by half past nine yesterday,
had concentrated his very large army so to
sadly interfere with the calculations upon which
the rebel Generals must have ventured their very
bold and extraordinary movement
He had got McDOwell's forces, including 81
gels, between Jackson's rear and Longstreet's
front, and had also the rest of his army well up
within supporting distance Thus it continued
throughout the balance of the afternoon
Facts within our knowledge lead to the impress
sion that within twenty four hours direct commu.
nication will have teen established between
Washington and General Pope's army; more es-
pecially as there are signs that Jackson's army
corps is endeavoring TO proceed northwardy, as
though making the experiment of opposing the
re-estabishment Of such communication, with his
immediate front, with Popes army, practically
between him and the other rebel corps d armee
We may add that General Mcclellan is dis
posing of bis heavy force around Washington and
Alexandria and the Notifications, so soon to
make it play an important part in the eyentful
drama of the hour.
In the battle of yesterday the attack certainly
came from our side.

ton that mo Napoleon ever refused the ready
support of whole race because Of their caste OF
color" Napoleon said to the Senate: 1.-The bru-
tality of this class of the Russian people is such
that this measure would devote msny families to
the most horrid barbarities. This consideration
was sufficient To induce me to refuse to employ
the means offered against nv enemies" Sir
Robert Wilson. an English writer. who was in
Russia during most of the campaign, says: lin

were made from every quarter, Napoleon was ac-

should commit so gross a blunder as TO throw
himself unsupported between the massive corps

thus, the feeling was gloomy on Saturday.
General POpes dispatch from Groveton was
received on Saturday night and in a measure re
lieved the suspense. IL soon spread over town
that our forces had met the enemy at Bull Run
and defeated him. This caused the greatest ex-
ultation. and people slept soundly. although it
was said that the dispatch would not bear close
criticism

among the Indians, for their needs we're pressing

drew the horse TO one side, and as he did so the
young lady. confused. started in the same direc-

horse and buggy passed over her without touch
ing her person although her Dire was torn. The
crowd was frightened but the most frightened
person of all who saw the transaction was the gen

We fought a terrific battle here yesterday, with

with continuous fury from daylight until after
dark, by which time the enemy was driven from
the field which we now occupy. Our troops are
too much exhausted to push matters, but shall do
so in the course of the morning soon as Fitz
John Porter's corps comes up from Manassas.
The enemy is sell on our 'front.' but badly used
up. We have lost not less than 5000 men killed
and wounded, aud from the appearance of the
field, the enemy has lost at least two to our one
He stood strictly on the defensive, and every as
sault was made by ourselves.
Our troops have behaved splendidly. The bat
tie fought on the identical battle field of Bull
Run which greatly increases the enthusiasm OF
our men. The news just reaches me from the
front that the enemy is re:reiting towards the
mountains | go forward at once TO see We
have made great captures, but am not able vet
