The Rappahannock correspondent of the Tri-
bune says:
"The great crisis of the war occurred between
Thursday morning and Saturday night. 1t is
past and we are safe. Washington is safe. Our
army is safe. The nation is safe, for Pope's ar
sillery is now guarding the line of the Rappahan-
mock, and Fitz John Porter, with a very heavy
force joined Pope on Friday evening. A host of
regiments have gone and are joining him now by
way of Alexandra. We now look for the grand
movement of the war within thirty days. Do
not forget that Burnside has massed large ar
my at Fredericksburg, and Pope is nearly or
quite a. strong as Lee and jackson, and McCel-
Ian is freed from the net which held him in its
meshes on the Peninsula
Some stir was caused in camp, and thousand
times more in Washington, 6ud, by a sudden
raid of two hundred and fifty guerrillrs upon Cat
let's Station. Under cover of the night, they
dashed in upon our small collection of men and
wagons, and stampeding lot of suffers and SER
wants and Transfers, burned several wagons
They also run off number Of horses and took
about hundred prisoners. The most serious
part Of the business is, they took Gen. Pope's
personal baggage and moneys, and all bis official
papers, correspondence, &c, which happened to
be in one Of the wagons which had been sent to
the rear.
In the attack at Catlet's station twenty supply
trains we're DESTROYED or their contents injured
by the r, bells. Many wagons we're too wet to
burn.

foolshly stopped it in compliance with the order
Of the gang. Four soldiers of the First Michi-
gan regiment were taken prisoners. The train |
With its contents, was then destroyed, and the |
yuerrillas made off with their prisoners.
