The War,

E1'' Details Of tie battle a. Perryville,
Kentucky, show that it was fercely
contested one. The rebels, however,
were driven back at all points, and have
retrested to Camp Dick Robinson, where
they have a strong entrenched position,
and large supplies. They lost a number
of arms and prisoners in the retreat.
BRAGG is said TO be trying to get out OF
the State.
PRIcEs army is said to be entirely
disorganized and broken up by the late
defeat. Some 10000 stragglers are re
ported taken prisoners, and grea,
amount of small arms.
The daring rebel General STEWART
has made raid into Pennsylvania, cap.
tured Chambersburg, and driven off ;
large amount of property. He escaped
without loss, running almost entirel,
around McCLELLAN's army, as he did o,
the Peninsula.
