The Rebellion.
No General Battle Yet.
Second Corps of the Army of the
Potomac Surprised.
HOOKER SUCCESSFUL.

On Wednesday the Odd inst, the reb.
els surprised the Second Corps of the
Army Of the Potomac, but the attack did
not result SO disastrously as was at first
supposed.
The line was formed by Barlow's Di-
vision on the left, with Birney's and
Motifs command on the centre, and Glib
bon onl the right. 1t was expected that
the Sixth Corps would have connected
on the left with Barlew, but it seems
quite gap was left, into which A. P.
Hills corps entered, and before our men
we're aware of it they received volley
from the rear which created panic in
the ranks and caused a rapid retreat to
the woods in the rear Of the Third Divi-
sion. This left the flank of the Third
Division unprotected, and the enemy
taking advantage of it, charged through
and got fairly into the pits, ordering our
men to surrender; the troops however
left their trenches and fell back rapidly,
but many were captured and quite a
number killed and wounded before they
got away.
The number of our loss in prisoners is
reported at about one thousand while
some make the figure higher. Our loss
in killed and wounded is probably l 500.
Some four officers engaged in this fight
had just joined their commands after be-
ing exchanged, andwh surrounded and
ordered to surrender, replied, "nerer-
death rather than Libby Prison"
fighting their way as best they could many
of them got back safe.
At o'clock p: NJ this corps made q
charge and recovered the line of works
from which they had been forced.
On the 23d, there was heavy skirmish.
ingI on both sides. In the attack on
the Second Corps, the rebels captured
Meningitis battery, of the 18th New
York; the guns were spiked, however;
when the line was reformed it repulsed
the rebels twice.
On the 9th, the rebels attacked Gen.
Burnside's position, but they were repul
scd and driven back in confusion. Ou
troops hold the railroad.
