PHILADELPHIA, August 25.
The Bulletin has information from gentle
man who left the Rappahanock yesterday
morning, that our troops had frequent skir-
mishes with the rebels, while falling back from
the Rapidan. The loss on either side is not
serious.
Gen. Pope holds the railroad bridge as well
as two commanding positions on the opposite
side, which the rebels have assailed several
times Our troops are distributed along the
river, and have received all assaults; they will
be able to maintain their position until juno
tion with the other army corps enables them
to resume the offensive. The rebels are en-
deavoring to turn our right, and get in our
rear by way Of Warrenton.
NEW YORK. August 25.
The Rappahanock correspondent of Phil
adelphia paper says that on the morning of
the 21st the rebels opened battery on our
centre, and continued vigorously to throw
shot and shell for several hours.
A little higher up it was discovered that the
rebels had, during the night, erected bridge
over the river at the Point.
The most brilliant and successful affair of
the day is reported to have occurred in the vi
cinity of the bridge. The rebels opened
brisk fire on one of Gen. Sigefs batteries,
which for time replied with spirit. In lit
tie while our fire slackened and then ceased.
The battery having been apparently silenced
or withdrawn, three rebel regiments then
rushed forward across the bridge, and Gen.
Sigel offered no opposition. Everything SEEM
ed favorable to the rebels, but alas the scene
soon changed. No sooner had they crossed
than Gen. Sigel opened his batteries on the
bridge. The fourth shot completely demol-
ished it. At the same time our troops opened
a deadly fire of musketry on the rebels in front
their retreat being cut off, and being assailed
by our artillery and musketry, they soon sur
rendered. Not man escaped. Nearly 2000
are said to have been captured, and about 400
killed and wounded.
The enemy, having failed in this, now hurled
forward their forces with impetuosity. and
strived to outfank Gen. Sigel by crossing at
French's Ecrd: but Gen. Pope ordered up
Gems. Banks and Reno to aid Gen. Sigel, and
the rebels were again repulsed. The rebels
then moved higher up the river.
How the next attempt of the enemy sue
ceeded have not yet learned.

WAR FEELING IN BATH-A series of war
meetings is being held in Bath, every evening,
announced by the ringing of bells, and large
degree Of enthusiasm is the result. 1t was
our privilege to be present at the Saturday
evening meeting The feeling indicated was
one of determination TO save the city from the
necessity of draft. Her quota for the last
call for three years men is made up, and she
has now ninety men to raise under the nine
months call. Gentlemen had circulated sub
scription paper in the afternoon of that day,
and six thousand dollars had been pledged to
encourage enlistments The following are
few of the subscriptions that we saw: Jacob
p. Morse, Geo. F. Patten, Jas. H. Mcclellan,
and John Patten, $500 each Oliver Moses and
William V. Moses, S400 each; Houghton
Brothers, flour in the firm 5000; VIM. d.
Sewall and E. & A. Sewall, (sons of w. d. ST.
500. The purpose seems to be to add to the
city's bounty Of $40 enough to make up 500
per man. The unusual activity among the
business men, and the large wages being paid
for labor, make it necessary to ofierlarge boun-
ties to secure enlistments with sufficient
promptness to answer the demands of the call.
