PH1LAnELpn1A. Aue. 29.


The Baltimore american has letter from
Alexandria, dated O'Clock yesterday. 1t
says our troops are being pushed forward
rapidly from there. Gen. Mcclellan had
visited Washington, and accepted the COM
mand of the Army of Virginia. Fugitves
from Manassas and Fairfax report that a
conf1agration was visible in the direction of
the latter place, and it was supposed the
Government stores had been destroyed. It
is also said that the rebels have destroyed
the bridge over Accotink creek, which is
five miles this side of Manassas, Bull Run,
and Centerville. 1t is also said that the
rebels have captured two out of the four
New Jersey regiments stationed at Center
Vile.
Gen. Hooker's division is reported to
have checked the advance of the rebels at
Centerville, and driven them back to Man
assas.
Gen. Pope is beyond Manassas, cut off
from Washington.
Gen. Burnside's and Gen. Porter's troops
had landed at Acquia creek. 1t is also said
Gen. Ewell has penetrated to the rear of
Gen. Pope, and occupies the left bank of
Ocoquan river. A large force is marching
to meet them, and to assist in opening
way to Gems. Pope and Burnside. If the
movement is successful, it will doubtless
place the rebel army in worse position
than that in which the main body of our
troops is now, as they can if necessary fall
back to fredericksburg and reach Wash
ington by river. On the other hand, if
Jackson is cut off his army may be scattered
and destroyed. The movement of the reb-
els is a bold but most hazardous one.

Fight in Tennessee.

CArRo, Sept. l..
On Saturday morning a large force Of
rebels, variously estimated at from 4,000 to
5000, attacked the troops at Bolivar, Tenn.
The enemy are represented as mounted in
fantry, and came in from the direction of
Somerville. They attacked our forces with
great impetuosity, but the Federal forces
under Col. Crocker, of the 18th Iowa, at
present in command of the 221 district,
opposed them with great skill and bravery.
The battle lasted three hours, resulting in
the complete discontinue and repulse of
the enemy, with a loss to them of over 100
killed, and large number wounded. Our
loss in killed and wounded will not prob
ably exceed 25 Among those fatally
wounded is that brave officer, Lieut.. Col.
Hogg, Cd Illinois cavalry. The rebels en-
camped short distance from Bolivar, evil
IDENTIFY intending to renew the attack on
Sunday; but early in the morning they sep
arated into squads, and, making a circuit,
struck the railroad about ten miles north.
and Immediately took possession of it and
the station of Medion, on the Mississippi
Central road.

CINCINNATI. Aup 81

A battle took place yesterday near Rich
mond, KY, lasting from morning until 4
p. M, resulting in our troops being driven
back with serious loss. No particulars re-
ceived.
Gen. Nelson was wounded, and arrived
here tonight.
Specials to the Cincinnati papers, from
Frankfort, contain the proclamation of Gov.
Robinson, issued to-day. He says the State
has been invaded by an insolent foe, her
honor insulted, her peace destroyed, and
her integrity imperilled. The small but
gallant army raised upon the emergency of
the occasion for her defense, under the
brave and chivalric Nelson, has met with
a temporary disaster, and the enemy is ad-
vancing to the accomplishment of his pur-
pose, the subjugation of the State. He must
be met and driven from the border, be it
in your power to do SO. He calls upon ev-
cry loyal citizen in Kentucky to rally in
the defense of their native land, property,
and their homes.

Fighting has been going on brislly in
Virginia. The Rebels made bold and
desperate attempt to annihilate our army
and take Washington. 1t was big and
desperate game; and our kilograms show
how well they have succeeded thus far.
There have been several fights, in nearly
all of which we have been the yictors, al
though no farther particulars have yet been
received. All the divisions Of their extern
siye army, as also of ours, seem to have
got into close proximity about CenterVille
and Manassas; and if Pope succeeds in
whipping them and driving them back, his
generalship is established. We hope he will
do it.

BY LAST NIGHTS MAIL.

~
A terrible series of battles has been
fought in Virginia. 1t is impossible to ar
rive at any correct conclusion as TO the re-
suits or the number killed, bat it looks
favorable. According to all accounts.
jackson had succeeded in cutting his way
through, after terrible fighting, and forming
a junction with the remainder of the Rebel
army. He made very narrow escape, and
is reported badly wounded. Tie Washing
ton Star says the Rebel General Ewell was
killed. Sigel was wounded in the hand.
Persons supposed to be we'll informed,
say that we have taken at least 1900 pris-
oners from the enemy in all the fights, but
many of these we're paroled on the spot and
sent back. The entire number of Rebels
was 100000. Our total loss in all the fights
is estimated at from 10000 TO $4,000; that
of the Rebels is much heavier. Many trains
of cars were destroyed by the Rebels and
by our own officers, to keep them from fall
ing into the hands of the enemy. We have
lost millions of dollars in this way. Gems.
Kearney and Stevens are reported killed on
our side, in a severe fight near Fairfax
Court House. Gen. Pope's army is falling
back on Washington, and Stonewall Jack
son with 10000 men is represented to be
marching on Baltimore, via Leesburgh and
Edwards's Ferry.
We shall await further particulars with
great anxiety. We confess that matters do
not look as we'll as they ought.
Our forces in Kentucky have fallen back
on Louisville, and on Covington. opposite
Cincinnati. The Rebels have taken pos
session of Lexington, Paris and Frankfort,
and at last advices were only 80 miles from
Cincinnati, 90 900 to $4,000 strong. The
greatest excitement prevailed at Cincinnati
and Louisville. Lew. Wallace has taken
command at Cincinnati, and proclaimed
martial law in that city, Covington and
Newport. The people were turning out en-
masse for the defense of the city. Bust
ness is entirely suspended.
Baton Rouge and City Point have been
entirely destroyed by our armies.
A two days fight is reported at Chatta-
nooga, in which the Rebels were repulsed
by Gen. Buel. and 500 prisoners taken.
The news from the Territories increases
the probability of a general Indian war.
Advices have been received that in New
Mexico the Apaches and Nevadoes are ris-
ing. There has lately been some disturb
ance with the Indians in the Northwest.
The enemy has been repulsed at Bolivar,
Tennessee.
The Secretary of War has made the pos
tive statement that the negro regiments in
Kansas will not be accepted into the United
States service.
The Kansas politicians have been assured
that in no event will there be any draft in
this State. This goes to confirm the pre-
vious statements in the dispatches, that
there was probability of a more or less
general postponement of the draft in many
States

MANASSAS JUNCTION, Aug. 90.
To MAJ. General HQlleck:
As soon as l discovered that a large force
of the enemy was turning our right towards
Manassas, and that the division I had or
dered there two days before had not yet ar
rived there from Alexandria, Immediately
broke up my camp at Warrenton Junction
I directed Mcdowell, with his own and ST.
gels corps and Reno's division, to march
upon GAINESVILLE by the Warrenton and AL
exandria pike. Reno and Heintzelman to
march on Greenwich, and with Porter
corps and Hooker's division [ marched back
to Manassas Junction. Mcdowell was or
dered to interfere between the force of the
enemy which had passed to Manassas thro'
GAINESVILLE, and his main body moving down
from White Plains through Thoroughfare
Gap. This was completely accomplished,
Longstreet, who had passed through the
Gap, being driven back to the west side.
The forces ordered to Greenwich were
intended to support Mcdowell in case he
met too large force of the enemy.
The division of Hooker, marching to-
wards Manassas, came upon the enemy near
Kettle Run, on the afternoon or the 9th,
and after sharp action routed them COM
pletely, killing and wounding 800, captur-
ing camps and baggage, and many stand OF
arms.
This morning the command pushed rap
idly to Manassas junction, which Jackson
had evacuated about three hours in advance.
He retreated by Centerville and took the
turnpike towards Warrenton. He was met
six miles west of Centerville by Mcdowell
and Sigel late this afternoon.
A severe fight took place which has ter
minated by darkness. The enemy were
driven back at all points, and thus it ended.
Heintzelman's corps will move on him in
daylight from Centerville, and do not see
how the enemy is to escape without heavy
loss. We have captured 1000 prisoners,
many arms and one piece of artillery.

We publish in another column the order
of Gen. Blunt, organizing his different bril-
gades for the campaign in this department.
He has very justly placed Col. Cloud in
command of one of these brigades, thus
making him an acting Brigadier General.
We understand that in addition to the forces
designated in the order, the Eleventh in
fantry will be added to bis command. This
will suit the boys. Many of them have
fought under him, and the memories of
SPRINGFIELD will make them enthusiastic
under such leader.

GREATEST BATTLE OF THE WARE
Defeat of the Rebel Army in Virginia !!
HEADQUARTERS, FIELD OF BATTLE,

11EADQCAR1ERS, IELD
Quarters NEAR GAINESVILLE, Aug. 90.
To MAJ. Gen. Raiteck, Gent an Chief:
We foughta terrific battle here yesterday
with the combined forces of the enemy,
which lasted with continuous fury from
daylight until after dark, by which time
the enemy was driven from the field, which
we now occupy. Our troops are too much
exhausted to push matters, but I shall do
so in the course of the morning, as soon as
Fitz John Porter's corps comes up from
Manassas. The enemy still is on our front,
but badly used up. We have lost not less
than 5000 men, killed and wounded, and
from the appearance of the field, the enemy
has lost at least two to our one. He stood
strictly on the defense, and every assault
was made by ourselves. Our troops have
behaved splendidly. The battle was fought
on the identical battlefield of Bull Run,
which greatly increased the enthusiasm of
our men. The news just reaches me from
the front, that the enemy is retreating to-
ward the mountains. l go forward at once
to see. We have made great captures, but
I am not able yet to form an idea of their
extent. JOHN POPE,
Mai. General Comd'g.

CART. WILDER.


We were not originally for Wilder for
Congress. very strong, although we had no
objection to him. We wanted to see Con-
way sent back, but there Is no use in talk
ing. Mr.. Wilder never, in any way, asked
US for our support, but We must say we
take considerable stock in him. He has
the .'get up and ability to make good
and efficient Congressman. Last week we
expressed the opinion that he would be
nominated by the State Convention. Since
then several counties have elected their
delegates, and we are now frmer in that
opinion than we were then. Out of the
nine delegates in his own county, the Con-
servative says he has eight. Doniphan and
Atchlson counties have also gone for him,
while in Douglas he has three, if not five
votes. These are the four most populous
and influential counties in the State, and
render his chances very good. There is
no stronger recommendation in State
Convention than for candidate to be back
ed by his own home, and Mr.. Wilder has
carried his own delegation almost unani-

The Alexandria correspondent of the
Tribune states that on Wednesday night
the pickets at Manassas Junction were driv-
en- in, and two companies of the 1O5th
Pennsylvania, and one company of the
Penn. cavalry, and some artillery stationed
there, were surprised and attacked by Gen.
Ewells entire division, numbering from
1000 to 10000 infantry and cavalry, with
artillery. After short skirmish, the hand
full of men at the Junction fled-the rebels
turning upon them nine of our own guns,
and keeping up a brisk fire until the Union
men were taken prisoners, few only es-
Gaping across Bull Run here.
At Union Mills two regiments of Gen.
Cox's division, the 18th and 18th Ohio,
under Col. Scammon, were stationed, and
they Immediately advanced to meet the ap-
preaching body of rebels.
A conflict ensued early in the morning,
between the junction and Bull Run, lasting
for three hours, when the Union troops, be-
ing largely outnumbered, and flanked on the
right retired across Bull Run bridge
Here vigorous attempt was made by Col.
Scammon to hold the bridge. At IL o'clock
two rebel regiments forded the Run above
the bridge, when the 18th Ohio charged upon
them and drove them across the river with
heavy loss.
In this skirmish Capt Pantry was wound
ed slightly. The regiment lost in killed,
wounded and missing, IS or 40 men. At IL
O'Clock Col. Scammon was obliged to retire,
moving along the railroad in the direction OF
Alexandria.
The rebels advanced across Bull Run,
and yesterday afternoon their advance cav
airy were at Fairfax Court House and Bur-
tbs station. On taking possession of Man
assas junction, the rebels captured seven
trains loaded with provisions, ammunition,
&c, and ten locomotives, all Of which they
destroyed.
Of the 81 men of the 1O5th Pennsylvania
on the ground, nearly all were either killed,
wounded or taken prisoners, as only three
are known to have escaped. Our loss has
been immense In Government stores, and
large in killed, wounded and missing.
LATER
a Washington correspondent states that
the 1st New Jersey brigade, Gen. Kearney,
are reported TO have engaged the enemy
near Bull Run bridge. where desperate
struggle was maintained. The bridge is
said to be still in our possession. The
| fight was also carried on by portions of the
division of Gen. Sturg1s, and nine pieces OF
artillery are said to have been taken by the
rebels. AS this goes to mail, learn that
Geographic com munication is again opeusd
with Gen. Pope, and Manassas must there

ken they are probably vending their way

This gallant officer made his appearance
in our midst on Monday morning, furnish
ing living evidence that the report of his
death, lately so extensively circulated and
believed in this vicinity, was mistake. and
that he ''still liveth." He was called on in
the afternoon, and made speech to large
crowd. He gave a history of the recent
brilliant campaign in Missouri, in which be
took an active part. He is one of the BRAY

Senator Pomeroy, of this STATE, has, at
the request of the President, gotten up a

Five hundred rebel prisoners were at Fair
fax station awaiting transportation to
Washington. They concur in saying, as
does information from all other sources, that
the whole rebel army was engaged under
Lees command; it numbers, no one of
them states, less than $50, 900, and many
estimate them at 200, 900 or 100000.

There is not much in the results of the
recent battles, with one or two exceptions,
to cheer the hearts of the Union loving peo-
pie. The odds seems to be against us, and
we look almost in vain for a victory to
our arms. In Kentucky and Tennessee,
the Union cause is probably in a worse
condition than ever. In Missouri, we have
succeeded in clearing the State of the mis-
cradle pack who threatened her destruction,
and the invasion of our own State. Our
commanders have done better than those
farther east. They have acted on the same
principle with the Rebels. They have
struck quickly and boldly, and success at
tends Blunt and Cloud and Fitz Warren.
It would have taken Nc Clellan FIVE months
to have accomplished what Blunt did in a
week. We understand General Blunt has
determined to make this his policy in treat
ing with the Rebels in Missouri, while he
has command of this department.
In Virginia aud the South, the Rebels
have out-generaled US. They have watched
closely, and for the most part have made
their strikes at the right time and on our
weakest points. Wherever they could find
two or three struggling regiments, they
have bounced upon them and cut them to
pieces. Until this plan is adopted by our
commanders, we may look for defeat.
There is now some hope of change.
The Administration have at last concluded,
from all the indications we can gather, that
the caase of the Rebellion must be removed.
Slavery must be struck down; whatever
else may be the result of this struggle,
Slavery is doomed. There can be no doubt
of this We believe that Slavery will be
abolished in less than six months, just as
firmly as we believe the earth revolves
around the sun. When the six hundred
thousand Union soldiers now being raised
and equipped take the field, the war will be
carried into the very heart of ''Africa;'
and if the Administration refuses longer to
take the right steps, the army will make a
policy for itself. The people of all classes
and parties have made up their minds that
there is no use of fooling about this matter
longer. The South win be literally over-
ran. The real supporters of the Rebellion
the negroes-will be freed, and made tc
work and fight on the other side; and if an
extensive guerilla warfare is adopted by
the Southerners, it may be necessary, il
the language ofJudge Ewing, "to blot from
existence every man, and every boy higher
than his fathers sword, who takes up arm:
against the United States.'' That this terri
bic policy will have to be adopted, befor'
the Rebels are conquered, there is not
particle of doubt in our minds; and tn
quicker it is done, the better for the live
of the loyal soldiers and our common treas
ury. .as
