on our side, in killed, wounded, and pris-
oners.
The loss Of the enemy is thought TO
have been less, since they fought much,
as usual, behind cover. Many OF our
artillery horses, (which the enemy di-

shot down, and several batteries were
captured, The enemy's whole force ac-

the greatest battle Of The campaign being
fought against greatly superior numbers.
A gentleman, who arrived from Bull
Run this (NondayD morning. says fight
ing was going on all yesterday between
Centerville and Thoroughfare Gap.
Yesterday morning. BY order of Gen.
Pope, l48 cars aud locomotives were
destroyed by fire, together with large
Quantities of ammunition aud stores at
Bristow Station. The empty ears aud
engines alone are estimated 10 be worth
| $4,000 dollars. The rebels burned two
engines and rs cars al the same place on
! Tuesday night. Il is said that within
The last q hours the enemy has fallen
back to a new line of defence.

division, also suffered greatly
Gen. Hartsulf was not in command of
his brigade, but was sick in Washington.
Gen. Banks engaged the enemy near
Bristow station, and, from all that can
learn, it seems he was attacked by a
column under Gen. Lee in person, moving
from the direction of the Rappahannock.
If so, he probably had a double task to
perform; to repulse both Gen. Lee from
the Rappahannock and portion of Jack
sons or Longsircets forces from this
side.

have had an enemy TO contend with in
both front and rear 10 is now certain
that Gen. Banks not only burned his own
baggage train, but destroyed three loco
motives and three trains of cars laden
with ammunition and supplies.
