/ WASHINGPON, August ll-9:15 P. M-Tbe
( battle ofCulpeppsr was one Of the most moderate
i of the war, involving about even lC5ses on both
/ sides, tho rebels losing more officers than the
( Union forces. The rebel Generals Winder and
| Tremble are certainly killed We have none
above eoIoaels. General Pope tslegrsphs that
the rebels have not renewed the engagement
I yesterday or to-day. They are some two miles
! from the battle field, which we occupy, and the
headquarters still remain at CulpePper Court
| House
Both ths rebels and our forces have been rein
forced, and renewal Of the engagement cannot
be far distant.
The loss in the Ohio and Indiana regiments Is
very large they being in Banks division, which
done most Of the fighting, resisting the enemy
under Ewells and Jacks0n's commands com
bined.
The wounded are arriving here to-day.
The bRttle was brought On BY the rebels en-
5eav0riny to prevent the concentration Of our
forces at q certain po mt for movement on Cor
d0nsvile, and therefore they threw sll their col
umns on Banks, for the purpose Of sunihiisting
or surrounding his division. They succeeded ia
preventing this movement at an immense sacgi-
fee of their own force, leaving the majority Of
P0pes army fresh for another demonstration on
Gordonsyiile
The rebels are reinforcing Ewell and Jackson
near Richmond, and It may not be impossible
that movement on Richmond from another
point MY commence.
During last night trains arrived from Culpep-
per, bringing number of ofieers wounded in
the late battle and skirmishes in that vicinity.
They are mostly wounded in the arms and legs,
though one or two are more seriously injured in
other paris of the body, one Of them having re-
eeived no less than four bullets in his hips We
hicies were In attendance on the arrival Of the
cars, aud the sufferers were speedily removed
many OF them to public houses
Accounts from Culpepper represent the enc
my's estimated force engaged at 10000, and
ours, exclusive of cavalry and artillery, as not
exceeding 1000
The number of United States soldiers wounded
is large, but the wounds generally are slight.
The number killed IS small
Saturday the teamsters lit their fires, causing
the enemy to shell our new position for two
hours with considerable effect.
Yesterday morning the rebels were not in
sight on cur front, but the indications were
that they were reinforced on Saturday night,
and were attempting to flank our movements.
Nothing has as yet been heard from General
BufJrd at Madison court house.
The rebels unmasked batteries on the noun
tain slopes and On every hill, making crescent
OF batteries Of nearly three miles, commanding
our own position for two hours. Our batteries
vera exposed TO cross fire aud flank fire at every
point, the rebels evidently outnumbered Us in
guns and weight Of metal.
We replied shot for shot till five o clock, when
ths rebels OPENED an enfilade battery On our
right. General Banks here gave orders to cease
firing and charge this battery. The duty was
assigned 20 Crawford's brigade of Williams
division, aad the doth Pennsylvania regiment
led the charge. Behind the battery was a thicket
Of scTGb .oak, and b6fare the 10th Pennsylvania
regiment could reach the rebel guns, they were
moved down BY terrific fire from the tHicket-
The rest Of the brigade was quickly brought up,
ana subsequently the rest OF General Williams
and General Auger's commands, but the brig
ades Of the rebels were found st every point
This battle-ground was Ia q thick wo0', with
a ravine on our right Here nearly al the
infantry had been concealed during the Smelling,
after securing themselves from observation By
expellng our pickets.
This was probably one Of the hardest contested
fights in Virginia, lasting until dark, when our
forces retired from the field, taking q new posi-
lion beyond the reach Of the enemy's guns,
which were in an advantageous position on the
nights. Oar Infantry were badly cut up. We
lest two guns.
The enemy's loss was certainly greater than
ours, as their dense columns were frequently
riddled by our artillery.
Since our correspondent LEFT the field, large re-
Inducements have reached there.
CULPEPPER, Va, August 1.-THE enemy this
morning sent out flag Of truce asking pormis-
sion to bury their dead This shows that, with
all their superiority Of numbers, they were toe
badly cut up to maintain their position, and that
their falling back yesterday was from necessity,
not chance.
Our troops we're engaged in bringing off our
wounded frem the field and burying the dead.
