NEW YoRK, August 29-The following b s
been received from the Associated Press:
We have reliable advices through letters re-
ceived tonight that affairs at Washington and
Alexandria to-day wear more favorable aspect.
The Secessionists of the latter city less jubi
liant, and carry Respondent countenances.
Gems Burnside and Pope have successfully cut
their way through the rebel forces at Manassas,
and have formed junction with the army of
Virginia under Gen. Mcclellan this side OF Cen
treville.
There has been a severe engagement with the
rebels by the divisions under Hooker. Sturgis
and Sumner, in which he rebels were completely
routed and driven from the vicinity OF Manassas
and Bull Run, and through the passes of the
Bull Run mountain. The loss of life on both
sides is said to have been heavy No accurate
information is attainable on this point, but it is
believed the enemy were very severely punished,
and many prisoners taken.
1t is stated that the Potomac river is now ford
able at any point above Washington, and much
excitement prevails throughout Western Mary
land, arising from the fear that the Confederate
army may make desperate and destructive raid
in that quarter, but the arrangements for proper
reception of the traitors at all points are ample
for all emergencies.
The enemy has not vet appeared on the Upper
Potomac, although the indications have pointed
TO such event, and the excitement on both
sides of the line continues.
The fears for the safety of Washington are
entirely dispelled, as the defences of the Capital
are perfect and impregnable.
The general feeling of the loyalists of both
Washington and Alexandria is one of more conf
dence. and the depression which has prevailed
among the loyal men for a week past, have
given way to joy and gladness.
That there has been the most extensive move
ments of troops from Alexandria and other points
is beyond doubt, and it is currently believed that
a large portion of our army has had either Skin
mishng or had fought battle with the enemy
within the last twenty four hours.
Ii is generally believe an extensive forward
movement of the whole army was made to-day
under General Mcclellan, involving battle, but
the result, if battle was fought. has not yet
been announced
Our advices are up to noon 10 day, Friday,
and are from the most trustworthy sources.
