MANASSAS JUNcrIoH, Aug %, 10 P. NJ
TO Hyor Gen. H0iieck, GeRerak-in- Chief:
AS soon as l discovered that a large
force of the enemy was turning our right
towards Manassas, and that the division
had ordered to take part there two days
before had not yet arrived there from Alex
adria, Immediately broke up my camp At
Warrenton Junction and Warrenton and
marched rapidly back in three columns. l
directed Mcdowell, with his own ana ST.
gets corps, and Reno's division, to march
upon Gainesville, by the Warrenton and
Alexandria pike; Reno and one division of
Hentzleman's corps to march on Green
wicb, aud with Porter's corps and HoOker's
division marched back to Manassas juno
ton.
Mcdowell was ordered to interpose be-
tween the forces of the enemy which had
passed down to Manassas through Gaines
vile, and his main body which was moving
down from White Plains through Thorough
fare Gap. This was completely accom-
plished, Longstreet, who had passed
through the Gap, being driven back to tue
west side. The forces sent to Greenwich
were designed to support Mcdowell in case
lie met too large force of the enemy.
The division of Hooker, in marching to-
wards Manassas, came upon the enemy

9th, aud after short action routed them
completely, killing and wounding 800, and
capturing their camps, baggage and many
stand of arms.
This morning the command pushed on
rapidly to Manassas Junction, which jack
son had evacuated three hours in advance.
He retreated by way of Centerville, and
took the turnpike towards Warrenton. He
was met when six miles west of Centerville
by Mcdowell and Sigel.
Late this afternoon II severe fight took
place, which has been terminated by dark
ness. The enemy was driven back at all
points, and thus the affair rests.
Heintzleman's corps will move on him at
daylight from Genterville, aud do not see
how he is to escape without heavy loss.
We have captured IL thousand prisoners,
many arms and Que piece of artillery.

ESg-NEw MAY os GErTING OUT or DIP
FIcrLrY.-Not long ago Il lot Of fellows
were arrested in Western Virginia for at
tempting to form guerrilla company
Among the number was drunken old
''bummer," who had been drinking with
more than his wonted enterprise just pre-
Yious to his arrest The whole party was
confined to Jail until arrangements could
be made to bring them to this city. There
was also in the party chap who is noto-
rious for an impedtment in his speech, as
well as in his payments. The old "bum-
mer," when he could no longer get his Ii
quor, became suddenly sick and vOmited all
over the Jail and then wallowed in it. He
stunk so badly and was such loathsome
object, that the rest of the prisoners petit
toned the commanding officer to remove
him. The officer complied with the re-
quest, and having no place TO put the old fell
low swore him aud turned him loose. Our
suffering friend upon hearing of this re-
marked, much to the merriment of his COM
pauions, that be had heard of people IF
lighting out of difficulties, BIB nckiug out
-sq-uirming out aud r-r-runuing out,
but he had never before heard of man
p-p-puk-ing out of s.s-scrape.

ST. PAUL. Aug. 2s.-Ten whites were
killed and oil wounded at the New Ulm
fight on Saturday. The Indians fought
bravely and recklessly. Their loss was
considerable. On Sunday our small force
under Major Flandrew, fearing they could
not stand another attack, Withdrew to
Mankato, leaving the town at the mercy of
the Indians. It is reported that between
400 and 1000 Indians were in the fight.
The Adjutant General of Minnesota has
issued an order to commanding officers to
seize all horses and means of transportn-
ton necessary, giving receipt to the
owners.
The massacre does not seem to have
been confined to one locality, but spread
over a vast amount of territory.
1t is reported that out of 40 families ut
Lake SheIk, 60 miles southeast of New
Uulm, all but two persons were killed.
These reports are undoubtedly exaggera-
ted, many persons having fled or secreted
themselves aud who are probably supposed
to be killed.

you know is said to be "mightier than the
