New York. Aug. 29.-The Alexandria
correspondent of the Tribune says: "Tues'
day night the pickets at Manassas Junction
were driven and TWO companies of Infan-
try, one Cavalry and some Artillery after a
short skrmsh, our small force fed. The
rebels turned on them nine of our guns,
keeping up a brisk fire until the Union
troops were taken prisoners. A few escap-
ed across Bull Run. At Union Mills the
llth and I2h Ohio regiments of Gen. COX's
division were stationed and they immedi-
ately advanced under Col. Scamman TO
meet the approaching rebels. A conflict
ensued in the morning, between the juno
ton and Bull Run, lasting three hours.
The Union troops being largely Outnumber-
ed and flanked on the right retired across
Bull Run bridge. Here vigorous attempt
was made to hold the bridge. AL eleven
O'Clock two rebel regiments fOrded the run
above the bridge when thel2thOhiO charged
on them and drove them back with heavy
loss. Our regiment lost 35 to 40 in killed,
wounded and missing. At IL m. Col. Scam
mon was obliged to retreat, moving along
the rail road in the direction of Alexan-
dria. The rebels advanced across Bull

LOUISVILLE, Augs 2Stb.-Latest reports
state that the Federals at Cumberland Gap
are ready and eager for fight.
New YORK Aug. 29th.-The Washington
Star says the rebels are encamped 10000
or &c, 900 strong at Lainsville, near Manas-
sas Junction.
The rebels have succeeded in getting
most of their army across the Rappahan-
mock at the base of Blue Ridge, massng
them at White Plains, miles from War
renton, it is evident they aim TO get between
Pope's army aud the Notifications around
Washington; having done SO they would
have lively time getting out of this po-
sitiou.
The movement of our vast army now in
the enemy's rear, leads to the belief that a
very few days will end the rebels in arms
in Virginia. Twenty four hours, says the
Star, will solve the problem.
Hooker's division had an engagement on
Wednesday forenoon with large rebel
force near Brlsbon Station, lasting all day.
Hooker drove them back, step by step, to
Manassas Our loss ia this division was
three hundred. On the same evening there
was an engagement between Scammon's
brigade and heavy force of rebels for the

disledge them on Thursday morning.
