WASHINGTON. Sept. !.
Recent advices received from the vicinity of the
y - quiet. News from that quarter to-day, have
bsen, considering che intense excitsmsut and bus
tie prevalent. decidedly mesger. Kum0rs Of most
extravagent nature have been circulated through
out the city. great majority of these have been
found unreliable.
Parties who left Centreyile yesterday p. M, re-
port ttat the command of Gen Bank s, who had
been rumored cut of, had arrive 1t that poiat ~
5 o'clock m yesterday. There can be very little
doubt of the correctness Of this report. as our in
formant says he witnessed the arrival. 1t is fur
ther stated that march OF Is miles was accom-
plished on that day in order to reach that poirt.
The greatest attention is being given to the
condition Of the wounded, who are conveyed with
promptitude to the various departments provided
for their reception. An overabundanee OF nurses
and physicians have rendered their services and it
is most assuredly true that the brave men who
have fallen in defense Of the national hoaor will
not want for sympathy and kindness in their suff-
erings. The different relief associations, both
male and female, which have been lately organiz-
cd are assdous in their endeavors to alleviate the
suffering condition of our wounded.
1t was stated in . former letter that q large
number Of stragglers wero picked up yesterday BY
the enemy's cavalry. The raids were made be-
tween Fairfax q H and CentrevlIe.
Within the past two days the price of provis-
ions have doubled, owing to the increased demand
for them and the country people being interrupt
ed in their pursuits.

it is believed, to draw on the enemy but they did
not advance. This morning our army again ad.
vanced two miles towards the old battlefield
The large reinforcements which have arrived
there, consisting of infsntry and artillery make
the army perfectly safe. No firing took place af-
ter . O'Clock Saturday night Kearney's division
remained on tho field until IL O'clock On SUNDAY
some shells were thrown into the enemy but no
response was made. This morning slight skir-
mish took place in kearney's division.
In the recent battles Gen Hatch was wounded
slightly, ball penetrating the bfim and body Of
his hat and fattened on the skull.
The dead were being buried and the wounded
removed to day, from the late scene of conflict un.
der flag Of truce.
Tribune Corresp ondence.1
Tho latest trustworthy news from the front of
Washington was brought BY a surgeon who left
Fairfax Court Honse at $50 Monday evening, re-
night: The eLemy were then pursuing or threat
enlng to pursue the danking movement
Lee was believed to have missed his troops on
tho river turnpike, which runs north of Center
vile, from Gum Springs through Germantown
and Fairfax Court nouse to Alexandra. Ample
prepar .tions had been made to meet him, and the
probabilities were then that great battle would
take place to day or Tomorrow. The suppostion
was strengthened by q telegram from Fairfax to
the effect that there was firing in the direction Of
Leesburg.
Other officers reported that the enemy had fall
en- back with his whole army for lack of supplies,
being satisfied with what he had already done, or
at least feeling himself unable to accomplish any
more.
Those gentlemen supposed the movement on
our right flank to be feint intended to cover the
retreat.

A correspondent of the Tribune, who went over
the feld Of the battle Of Sunday, says that our

the exception Of tieir caps and shoes. Many Of

The rebel dead and wounded had all been dis
posed Of, ami not single vestige Of sick, killed
OF wounded remained on the field, even the strsg-
Cling soldiers did not know where they had been
taken to; thay were evidently burned secretly in
the night by negroes. for occasionally in . deep

teen feet square, whore their victims had been Sc
creted from the gazs of their own men.
On Monday intelligence was received at head
qusrtefs that the divisions OF Hill and Lougstreet

the position they then held, Gen Stevens ordered
his men to fix bayonets and charge them out Of
tho woods. This order was CALAMITY responded to
BY lis men, who pressed the enemy and drove
them before them with great daughter. While
thus charging Gen Stevens was killed, but not
until the enemy had been routed. Capt Stevens,
