THIS AFTERNOONS REPORT.
FROM GEN. POPE's COMMAND.

MARRENTONj A., July L..
The burning of the railroad bridge over
the Rapidan river was caused by mis-
taken IDEA of some Of the soldiers, instead
of by any order emanating from General
Banks, or the Immediate commander of the
expedition, Brigadier General Hatch The
Rapidan river, however, is fordable at this
season at many points near the bridge,
and its destruction can be matter of no
great importance either way.
Arrivals from Sherryville report almost
daily skirmishing between Sigels pickets
and the rebel scouts near the gap atLuray,
and several of the enemy had been killed.
They also report a reconnaissance in
force went out from Sigel command on
Wednesday, towards Madison, and several
guns are reported to have been heard in
that direction by travellers the same day.
Parties frUm Winchester, by way OF
Front Royal report that guerrillas have
paid frequent visits to the routes leading
thither and in the vicinity of Strasburg
and MiddletoWn. All the stores at the lat
er place have been removed to more secure
positions. EgHl
Gen. Mcdowell arrived here yesterday,
and has pitched his headquarters in the
field
On Wednesday evening Gen. Bankspaid
visit of courtesy to General Hartsuf7 s
brigade of Gen. MeDowell's corps. This
brigade was formerly commanded by Gen
Abercrombie in Gen. Banks corps. His
visit was unannounced, but notwithstand-
ing the darkness Of the night it was soon
discovered, and rounds Of hearty cheers
greeted his presence. To each of the reg
iments Gen. Banks addressed a few brief
and pertinent remarks expressive of his
past and present pleasurein meeting them.

Special to the Tribune:

WASHINGTON, July ~.
Special to the Tribune:
We have advices from Warrenton up to
this evening. The news that Gen. Hatch
has reached Charlottesville and cut off the
most important source of rebel supplies, is
the subject of great rejoicing in the army.
These bold movements, and the recent war
like orders Of Gen Pope, begin to inspire
something like admiration for him among
the soldiers, who have not as yet seen the
face of their new Commander.
In obedience to the spirit as well as the
temper of Gen. POpe's instructions, the
rich and aristoeratic rebels Of WarFeDton
have already been placed under contribu-
tion for the support Of the national army
The leading families have received notice
that all their spare mattresses and bed
clothing viii be required for our sick and
wounded soldiers and that all the unoccu-
pied rooms in their mansions, and if neces-
sary the entire building will be used as
hospitals. IfII H.-s.
Col. Meyers, of McDowells staff, took
possession to-day of Dr. Barton's large fe-
male seminary. 1000 sick can easily be
accommodated. On
The grounds and springs surrounding
the hotels and cottages are said to be finer
than any other watering place in the coun-
try and all the leading phsicians i the
army Of Gen. Pope, are of the opinion that
not one half so many deaths will occur
as in the hospitals in Washington.
The telegraph lines were completed TO
to-day. Gen. Pope has now
communication with his three
army corps.

FROM WAsHINGTON.

ASHINGTON, July ~.
Hon. John S. Phelps has been appointed
Military Governor of Arkansas, with free
powers. The purpose is to assist the loyal
people to re-establish the Government
there in accordance with the Constitution.
There is reason to believe that the Presi-
dent will issue one or more general orders
to the United States army, in which he win
lay down certain rules for the conduct CT
the war; such rules as any one sincerely
desirous of carrying out the principles of
the Confscation and Emancipation act
would adopt and enforce,
1t is now positively known that the
President, under the advice and with the
acquisienee of Gen. Mcclellan, has called
Gen. Halleck to Washington, to act as
Commander-in-Chief of the army of the
United States. He will have control of
the operations in the field, thus relieving
Secretary Stanton of some Of his official
businpSg

sESsIBLE.-An exchange says, The gen
tier sex cannot we'll nov hay, shoe horses,
build fences; but they can milk cows, and
feed the chickens, and keep the farm-yard
in order. They cannot be expected to ham
die muskets, camp out in swamps, or shoot
rebels but they are entirely equal to the
task Of handling lace and ribbons, and
selling needles and pins. In a time of
WaT, like the present, no man should be
found doing work which could readily and
properly be performed by o woman. There
Is no doubt reason for this assumption,
not only does the female release another
soldier to fight for his country, but there are
hundreds Of wives and sisters of men al
ready fighting OF slain, who would gladly
earn bread for themselves and little ones
behind the counters which men now ex-
elude them from.

The other day at Vieksburg, Gen. Van
Dorm made an attack upon a body of cur
troops. about 2, 900 strong, just belOwVieks-
burg. Unaware Of their being within sup
porting distance Of the gunboats, he oaH-
tiously marched 1000 troops out from their
camps far behind the bluffs, skirting the
the woods, passed unseen below the vessels
on that sideof the river, aud cautiously ap-
preached hisintended victims. Hidden in
dense timber he deployed his troops with
the rare military skin of a veteran, and
when 200 yards from the raVine ordered
charge. Uttering an exceedingly terrify-
ing yell, the butternut multitude rushed
forward, and SO quickly that they were sur
prised themselves ct arriving 50 soon upon
g the open bank, and still more at being
greeted by a terrible discharge Of shot.
Quicker than the approach was the retreat,
and a headlong fight ensued Some hum

waist deep through q swamp, while other
regiments were ordered near to prevent an
Z attack upon the miring warriors Three
were captured, but the number killed and

The following is an extract of letter
from citizen of New Orleans who has
resided there for twenty-five years, and
whom we know to be person Of intelli-
gence and integrity
New ORLEANS, June 25, 1862.
/ am now convinced that Sc
cession is wrong. There was no cause for
il, and, therefore, the South has committed
fearful mistake, or rather crime, the
penalty Of which will be her destruction.
She has no one to blame but herself for the
doom that awnits her. She has made her
election, and rather glories than otherwise
in the issue. To talk Of Cancellation is
hopeless. This war will end only with the
determination of the present generation.
Some Of the Border States may possibly
come back into the Union, but the South
ern Ststes-never; not even Louisiana.
You may ask why. The only answer that
can be given is, that the people are mad,
frenzied, insane, or whatever term you may
choose to apply to their malady. only
speak Of the fact as it exists, and this l
know.
/, therefore, see no hope for the South.
Its fate is already sealed This city will
not prove an exception to the general ruin.
Il was built by King Cotton, and falls with
his dethronement. But you may answer,
aThe cotton trade will revive again" l
have no such hope. We know that there
is no crop planted this year. Before an
other year, expect to see Congress pass a
general emancipation act, and half the

Gen. Pope,s Policy.

The system under which Gen, Pope has
given assurances he will fight is giving
encouragement to the army, and fear to
the rebels. The aristOeratie rebels Of War
rsntOn arc greatly ineensed and astonished
at the change in policy. The acquisitions
for all their spare rooms, mattresses &C., for
the use Of the sick, will wake them up from
the security they felt when guards were
placed around their dwellings to protect
them from the unhallowed touch Of federal
