Washington, Aug. ~.

V"ouipS~ht aug -.
The Times Washington dispatch says,
it is considered certain that certain army
movements are in progress or completed,
blu: it is not regarded IS proper yet to
indicate their nature. Much more cheer
full impressions are prevailing concerning
Gen. Pope's engagement. Jxckson's re-
treat is known here to have been ne
cessity. The better opinion here is that
all is going we'll with Pope's army, and
that there is reasons for the opinion ex-
pressed yesterday and to-day. Well in
formed persons, freely declare that Pope
will be in Gordonsville by Saturday at
the fatharest, though perhaps not with
out fghtinss which may be going on at
present.
The Tribune correspondence states
that the rebels fell back yesterday, and
in their retreat it is asserted by our men
who recently escaped, that the rebels d.
vided. part of the force taking the road to
Stodardsville, and the other portion tax
ing the other side of the Mountain to-
wards Gordonsville.

The flight Of Stonewall Jackson shows
that he fears our troops. On Saturday
he engaged. with his whole force, number
ing at least 80, 900 men, portion of
the corps of Gen. Banks who behaved
most nobly holding the enemy in check,
and with the aid of one division of Gen.
Mcdowell and Gen. Sigel's corps, which
arrived on the day, driving the enemy
from several positions and finally from the
field Of battle. Jackson's loss can not be
less than 1900; our loss is much less
The battle was decidedly the b!oodiest OF
the war. On Sunday jackson remained
idle. The troops on both sides being ex-
posed.
On Monday Jackson sent in flag of
truce asking whether he can bury his
dead of which large proportion was still
on the field.
This morning Jacksons whole army
was gone. Gen. Buford with his cavalr.
and artillery quickened Jackson retreat
towards Gordopsyllle, compelling him to
burn bridges to save himself jackson
does not intend 10 stop running until he
reaches the rebel ratification at Rich
mond.
Gen. Pope las fully met the public ex
pept9tlons of the people, and will drive
the rebels out of the valley.
A servant of Gen. Jacksen has Just
come into the quarters Of Gen Mcdowell.
He says his master admitted the loss OF
1000 in the engagement of Saturday.

@It will be observed that the Mus
catlne Journal is informed that Captain
Crabb of Washington Go. is appointed to
the Colonelcy of the 10Th regiment. Our
Information day or two previous, of the
selection of Col. McKenny, was from the
Governors Military Secretary. So that
the matter rests In doubt until further

We rambled along the beach looking

The Eddyvilic Prisoners.


The parties arrested by the Eddyville
Home Guards are Jesse Fouts, Julian Os-
born, &. W. Mccullough and T. w.
Evans, citizens of Davis county.
The facts of the case, as we receive
them, are as follows
Thompson. Edwards, the person cap
tured by the four prisoners above named,
was resident Of Schuyler county, Mis-
souri,, and for his Union sentiments had
been despoiled of considerable property,
and driven from his home. Exasperated
by wrongs and prosecutions he made a
sort of replevin on the horse of known
secessionist whose son had used the horse
In the rebel service, and took it to Eddy
vile and sold it.. Osborn claims he lost
horse at the same time and with the
other three was on the track of the mis-
sing horses, without. however, any legal
process to make an arreet. They found
aud captured Edwards two miles west of
Eddyviile and brought him to the opposite
side of the river and tied him on the
horse, with his arms pinioned. McCul.
Tough stated to one Of the witnesses tina,
they would take Edwards back to Mis-.
souri,, and admitted that he would be
killed by the secesh there.
The Home Guards hearing of the cap
ture, and the threats made against Ed
wards, and understanding that the eaptors
were or might be secessionists, went across
the river, ten OF twelve in number, and
took possession of the whole company.
Asst. Provost Marshal Mcdonnell being
Informed Of the arrest, ordered the men
brought 10 keokuk. with witnesses, 70,
examination. which was done. The pris
oners were placed in the custody of Lieut.
Ball, commanding this post, who caused
an er farte examination TO be made By af.
hdavits before }. H. Craig, Esq. N. p,
A>iSup oH nave tHe parties sent
to 81. Louis for trial before the Provost
Marshal Is we understand.
1t may be that an examination at Eddv-
vile before civil magistrate would have
been the better course, but the Home
Guards being ordered TO bring the parties
TO keokuk had no alternative. but to ohsv
Ii is said the prisoners. or three of them
at least, are loyal men, but they acted
very unwisely in forcibly arresting mar
without warrant, and attempting to drap
him to nelghboring county or State
where it was admitted his lie wouid be
in danger, without hearing before =
magistrate.
The Home Guards justify the arrest
because Of the disloyai appearance of the
whole transaclion, designing to hold the
prisoners until they should have a fai,
examination aud trial.
