A Tribune letter, dated Headquarters
army Of Virginia, Cedar Mountain, Va,
August 1s, says: Again on the march,
and that march retreat. The camp,
which only yesterday was pitched at the
foot Of the mountain, aow memorable 'or-
ever, dissolved this afternoon into thin air,
and the headquarters are here without
camp, but here only for an hour or three
! hours, it matters not which.
| The hurried order came to be ready to
start at once, and before two hours had
passed. tents and luggage, all OF head
/ quarters, but its pcrsonel, were moving
to the rear.
We understand it is whispered that the
whole army of Virginia is in retreat, and
presently it begins to be added that the
whole army OF Richmond is on the ad.
vance that the rebels threaten TO turn
our left flank, and in a word, are march
ing straight for Frederick burg, for Wash
ington, and for the North. Perhaps !;
but before the North before Washington,
and before Fredericksburg is reached the
hardest, fiercest, most determined and
desperate battles Of the war are 10 be
fought.
This army is not running away, nor is
Gen. Pope outgeneraled yet by SionewaIl
Jackson. Threatened on the left flank
E by an army that counts its hundreds Of
thousands of miserable and desperate
: troops, the army Of Virginia retreats in
deed, but it retreats to fight. By daylight
il must cross the Bappahannock, but
when once once on the north bank of that
river, it 10 longer retreats it begins to
maumuver. The battles of this war are
5 about to begin.
