WASHINGTON, Friday, Sept. s, 1862.
4 lag of truce went to Centrevile yester-
day for the purpose of recovering the body OF
Lieut., Fessenden, Senator Fessenden'5 son,
which was buried there by the surgeon in
whose charge he was when he died. The body !
Washington, and is now in the hands OF the |
embalmer. No rebel soldiers were seen by
those who went with the flag on the way to |
Centreyi1e, and there only company or tHo
appearedto be stationed as an outpost.
WHEREABOUTS OF TUE REBEL FORCES
The rebel officers aud privates were heard
talking about the position of Longstreet, = e.
I'll or some Of The various corps5, diVi>ions OF
regiments Of the rebel army, aud Invariably
the answer to a question as to taeir Wherea-
bouts was that they were ION the Leesburg
pike" or towards Lceebnrg."
BARBARoUs JOE.
These barbarians appeared to be greatly
e1ated at learning that son of leading Re
publican Senator from New England had been
killed.
They inquired whether it was the BON of
Representative OF Senator F Fessenden, and on
learniDg The fact did not conceal their gratlh-
! ca,ion. From what those who accompanied
| the flag of truce saw and heard, they gathered
| that our wounded we're lying On the field OF
| hattie With the unburied dead and were Sc
| riously suffering for want Of food rs well as
| pain Of their wounds. Ii Is understood that
flag Of truce has gone to the battlefield to
| obtain the wounded still remaining there.
BUSINESS At TIE EsuRGEoSeESERAL's OFFICE.
The Surgeon Generals Office is the busiest
bureau in the government. The rooms are
filled with persons msk,ng inquiries after
wounded relations to-day. AL the am5u-
lanct s, light wagons, and hacks in the city
were pressed into the service Of the govern
ment and sent to the Centrev1te battle field
last night. The Z, ,000 wounded now remain

The report that negroes driving ameu-
lances were confscated by the rebels is un-
true. No colored drivers were sent with an-
balances.
More than half the losses of the battles Of
Friday and Saturday are beAeVed to be in
sigers corps. Our loss on Triday. when we
we're victorious, was probably three times
that Of Saturday, when we We1s beaten.
