LAST NIGHTS REPORT.
FROM CULPEPPRR.

WASHINGTON, Aug. u.
Accounts from Culpepper state that rebel
prisoners report that their troops were
moved down by our FIRE like grass. Three
times they were reinforced by fresh regi-
ments and brigades, and when our troops
retired they were too crippled to pursue in
the open ground.
They alsore report that the heavy guns used
by the enemy were Of recent English man
ufacture with English fixed ammunition.
We lost but one gun which was left behind
in ditch, spiked. The gun was not lost
while changing our position for the night,
but under fire Of the enemy's sharpshoot-
ers. Col. Chapman Of the 9th Massaehu-
sets was shot in the breast and is proba-
bly, dead. Eeut.-Col. Stone fell with many
wounds. Major Blaekman fell and is a
prisoner if alive. Adjutant Smith wound
ed or dead. Major Savage of the I'd Mas
sachusetts, believed to be killed, with many
Captains and Lieutenants of the regiment.
Doctor Leland was shot in the eye. The
casualties of other regiments have not been
heard of definitely. By tomorrow a list
of the missing will be obtained. Capt
Geo. Jannell, Of Gen. Princes staff, was
shot in the breast and mortally wounded
The 2eth Pennsylvania regiment escaped
without loss, having been stationed to guard
signal station, eight or ten miles south
west Of the battlefield, early in the day.
They returned yesterday escorting safely
the signal officers, without being compelled
TO pass near the enemy's piekets.
On Sunday night, about II o'clock, Gen.
Pope and Gen. Banks were in conference
in the rear Of our advanced batteries.
A body of rebel cavalry charged, in the
most daring manner, through the woods on
our front upon the group. The discharge
Of muskets and the Whizzing Of balls gave
them timely notice Of the approach Of the
rebels. They speedily mounted their horses
and regiment Of infantry fired yolley
at the approaching rebels, checking their
charge and probably saving both Com
manders.
Gen. Buford with his cavalry command
arrived at Culpeper yesterday from Mad
ison. Previous to his departure he made
a reconnaissance to the Rapidan where he
found force of the enemy on the South
side but none North Of the river. A Vel.
! egh dispatch dated to-day, states that al
was quiet last night and this morning
Col. Donnelly is alive but in q sinking
condition. Other wounded officers arr
generally doing we'll.
