[Special Correspondence of the Star.] HAQUaSTOH, Aug. 21.?Editor Star: A de tachment of the 3d Virginia (Union) cavalry entered Martinsburg yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock and drove out the rebels. At the la test accounts the place was still held by our cavalrymen. There is considerable maneuvering going on between the two armies, and a general engage ment may take place at any moment. Sheridan has his forces well in hand, an J no tears need bo entertained as to the result in case a fight takes place. When the plan of the campaign is developed, it will t* foUnd that Sheridan is acting in intelligent co operation with Grant. * Averill holds the river lords, and Is keeping a watchful eye on the movements of the rebel raid tag parties.

The Charlotte Vanderbilt, Capt. Oalmary, arrived this morning about 8 o'clock, with the mails and passengers from City Point. I hen the boat left City Point, yesterday i morning, Warren was still warmly engaged ?with the enemy, who are trying to dislodge him from his position on the Weldon road. His position is so much strengthened as to be deemed impregnable. Information was received at City Point at 10 a. m. Sunday morning, that the enemy had been shelling Warren's lines on the Weldon railroad since 3 a. m., and had driven in the pickets. In the evening information was received that between 3 o'clock in the morning and 4 o'clock in the afternoon the enemy made two distinct and desperate assaults, in which, seemingly, ^eirwhole force was thrown upon our line, but they were each time repulsed with heavv loss. Our lines were held successfully, and we captured some 1,900 prisoners. Three rebel battle flags were also taken during the day The enemy also lost severely in killed and wounded. Warren estimates that the enemy left more dead in front of his works than we V^ln kiUed and prisoners in the fight on the Notwithstanding the continual skirmishing and fighting siilce Warren maoe the descent upon the Weldon road, our men have extended the work of destruction upon it, and it has been most effectually crippled. In the attack on warren on Friday last, the rebels broke our line in two places, they ma king a desperate charge, and, flanking the bri gade of regulars, Gen. Ayres' division, which numbered about 1,400 men, took a large num ber prisoners ; less than 500 escaped. The re serve of the 5th corps and a division of the 9th' corps coming up, a desperate charge was made, and the lost ground retaken. The ene my also lost heavily in prisoners in Friday's fighting, OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE TAKING OF FORT GAINES TERMS OF SURRENDER.

An Interesting Narrative. Thos. McCauley, Orderly Sergeant, Co. E, 14th N. Y. cavalry, who was taken prisoner at Donaldson ville, Tennessee, on 12th August, 1?63, and sent to Richmond, where he was con fined in Libbey Prison, and afterward sent to Andersonville, Ga., and who succeeded in es caping therefrom, reached here Saturday night, about 11 o'clock, and reported himself to the Provost Marshal. The history of Ser geant McCauley since his capture is an event ful one, as the following synopsis will demon strate: After about two months at Andersonville he succeeded in making his escape with four others from his place of imprisonment, a stock ade, composed of squared pines, set perpen dicularly some ft feet in the ground, and en closing about 10 acres of ground: and In which when he left the last time were about 30,000 Federal prisoners He escaped by means of a tunnel, some 65 feet long, dug by himself and companions, with canteens broken in half From the tunnel they took to a swamp, a mile or two distant, where they remained till night. After night-fall they resumed their journey, travelling aii mgui, and finally reaching another swamp near Flint river, Georgia, Where they were surprised by the hounds of their pursuers. The swamp being too wide for the horses of their pursuers to %llow them with safety, they succeeded in escaping them by wading through water neck-deep, and made their way to .laxnestown, about twenty miles from Columbus, Ga., travelling night and day, and with very little subsistence obtain lag all they bad from darkles in the fields by which they passed. This subsistence con sisted only of cornbread and water, with bich they were obliged to satisfy themselves. Dosing their way two miles from James town, they were finally piloted by a negro to the Chattahoochee river. After travelling some six or seven miles down its bank, in search of a boat, they finally found one, but to their cbagrin it was held to its fastening by a strong lock. One of the party, however, suc ceeded In picking the lock, but just as they were ready to shove off the owner made his appearance, not, however, in time to prevent their retreat to the bushes adjacent. The owner of the boat followed singing out "Halt, yon d?d Yankees, or I'll shoot you!" to which, bowever, they paid no attention, and suc ceeded In reaching the thickest of the cane breaks in the neighborhood, where they were left by their pursuer, who thought it nnsafe to follow them further alone. He ac cordlngly-went for assistance, but before his return the boat bad been secured by two of the party?Sergeant McCauley being one of them. Their pursuers, thinking to cut them off, beaded their horses for Georgetown: but to their dismay, found on their arrival that they were still ahead of tbem, having passed some hour before their arrival. As a last resort they U-legrapbed to Fort Gaines, at wbich point the boat arrived alter dark, and was hailed by the guard. Ho wuww being giro*, the boat wu fired la to, and Sergeant McCauley's comrade wounded, and afterward taken prisoner. He, ho we ver, su oceeded m escaping by swimming to tbe Alabama side of the river. On gaining of toe river be was however capvurea by a guard on tbe look-out and taken to Fort Gaines, from whence be was sent to Georgetown, and from there to Andersonvllle, and again committed to his prison, where be wceived with the following remark from 5 v1^1' wan in charge of the prison, "You d?a Yankee son of a b?h, you try to escape, did you? We'll fix you bo you can't escape." This remark was followed by an order to place upon him a chain and balls, which was done, one of the balls being a W-pounder, the other ft 32-pounder, and also to place Ovef Mm ft strong guard?all of which was compiled with. He was also notified that this would be his con dition until paroled or exchanged. The sergeant, however, did not give it up so, and procuring a file from a source not prudent to give here, he loosed his bonds and again succeeded in escaping. This time he made for Macon, seven miles beyond which he was again captured while saddling a horse. On being taken back he was chained, with six others?one of them a lieutenant of a Tennessee regiment?but the file came in play again, and his chains being loosed he determined to make another attempt to escape when night set in. He kept his position, however, and during the afternoon was visited by the proper officer, who proposed to release him on parole if he would promise not to make any further at tempts at escape He accepted the parole, and remained at the prison until 3 o'clock on the 22d of July last, when he succeeded in getting a rebel uniform and haversack. Gen. Winder having given orders for ail of the conscriDts to report at Atlanta, and he, for the time being being <>one of'em," jumped on a car passing anrnrt?fftrt^ht?afternoon' and whIch was set apart for their accommodation, and reached Macon that night. When arrived there he fr?m6Thted him8elf 48 belonging to a company c?nn'7' and ?ncceeded in escap ing detection. To his horror be learned that the companies were to be formed into brigades before leaving for Atlanta. But he succeeded, by posting himself up, in giving satisfactory answer, toan the inquiries put tohim/and, at next morning, entered the cars, lanta rest 1110 " rebs," bound for At Tbe cars reached that point about 6 o'clock on thf^rnoo? oft?e 24t* an<* McCauley wer/t w'to the rest of the conscripts to report him self to Col. McComb, the officer delegated for that purpose. To his disagreeable surprise he found here two men who had aided In his ar rest on his first attempt to escape, and yet an other who had been one of his guard at Fort Anderson. They however did not chance to recognize him. He slept that night in the second line ef breast works around Atlanta, and awaking about 4 o clock, beat a hasty retreat back into the city, from whence he went to East Point, some nine i ? ?8 di?tant? on U1? Georgia and Macon Rail. I ?fad .jwas then picked up by the Provost Guard and taken before the Provost Marshal, where he again succeeded in givingsucb satisl ^ Qaestions propounded him, as to result in his release. Watching an opportunity he made his way on the 27th of July, about midnight, to Eastville, the right of | the rebel lines and finally to Rossville; 111, where the 45th Illinois regiment is stationed Entering our lines he made himself known to the commanding officer of tbe post and was forwarded to Col. Ross, at Marietta, and from thence to other points until he finally reached this city and reported himself as above stated. FROM THIS UPPER POTOMAC.

The Sixth, !i,aiML Ninete?nto Corps formed the line of battle, from right to left, as I have written them down. The Sixth Corps bore the brunt of the engagement, and the Second Division lost heavily?some mm men "xruauiied and from o? to 70 Killed and missing. The loss of the en emy was fully as heavy. Among the officers wounded in this corps are tbe following: * Lieut. Col. George E. Chamberlalne, 1st Vt: Lieut. Coi. A A Hale, Gth Vt; Major G W DwineH, 6th Vt: Capt B D.

A, Gist Pa.: Acting Adjutant John Caldwell, Cist Pa Our right drove the enemy for over a mile and then fell back to their old line, holding it till ten o'clock4 when the entire army retired to ward Hall Town, where they now lie in line of battle on the first range of hills in the imme diate vicinity of that place. The htb Corps, Gen'l Crook, were only partly engaged, and lost but few men. The iert consisting of the liith Corps, Gen'l Emory, were not engaged, as their line rested on the BerryWlle pike. The entire line extended from the Berry ville pike on the left to the Smithfield pike on the right, and occupied the commanding line of country rnnning between these two roads, situated some two miles from Charlestown. The cavalry after the enemy had shifted his front from our left to the right, retired down the Berryville pike, and passing through Charlestown bivouacked in the fields to the right of the town. All last night troops were passing through Charlestown in the direction of Halltown, and the seen - to be witnessed by the moonlight was an extremely Inspiring one. The cavalry were left in front of Charlestown, and their pickets relieved the infantry before daylight. At sunrise the "forward" was sounded, and the entire corps moved forward and took up the position abandoned by ihe 8th and Gth corps. At 6 o'clock, as I rode away en route for the ferry, a sharp and continuous skir mishing fire broke out, and it lasted until 9, when it suddenly slackened, and before I left Halltown bad entirely ceased. The cavalry have orders to endeavor to push through to Martinsburg, and the infantry are hnsy pitching impromptu camps along their line of battle, awaiting the result. Rumors are afloat that the rebels are crossing the Poto mac at Martinsburg, with what truth I cannot say ^Certain it is, however, that the rebels hav^iosee&sion of that town, whatever may be their ultimate intention. Large numbers of loyal citizens are here endeavoring to reach places of safety further North, fearing a total abandonment of tbe Valley. - Forrester.

Skirmishing commenced in front of General Sheridan's lines, two miles beyond Charles town, at ten o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morn lng and lasted until dark, when our forces fell back to Halltown, where skirmishing was re. sumed this morning, and Is still in progress.

APPRECIATION Of A GALLANT AOT. Admiral Farragut, in communication dated "Off Mobile, Angnst 4th, 1861," calls the atten tion of the Department to the gallantry of a little party landed from the Oneida while on Slcket duty off the Peninsula, about fire miles ?om Fort Mort Morgan, on the night of the 22d ult. Lieut. Cotton and Acting Ensign John L. Hall, with a party of ten men from the Oneida, were landed to lie in ambush for the purpose of capturing the cavalry patrol of the enemy, iwhich Commander T. H. Stevens, of the )neida, had seen pass up and down the beach lreqnently during his tour of duty in that locality,) and if sufficiently strong to attack and capture them, and the ship would send to their assistance. They had not been in ambush more than an hour before a horseman came along; the party rushed out and captured him, and they then compelled him to lead them to his picket. Mr. Hall took charge of tbe party, and followed on for three or fonr miles, sur prised and captured a lieutenant and four privates of the 7th Alabama cavalry. Although tbe act was somewhat imprudent, it was nev ertheless a bold one, and as Mr. Hall succeeded, the Admiral tbinks him worthy of promotion, and so recommends. A NEW DODGE FOB A FURLOUGH. Corporal Thompson, of the 13th New York cavalry, stationed at Falls Church, was'granted a furlough on the 3d nit., by reason of a tele gram to Gen. Augur stating that his (Thomp son's) wife was dying. There being reason to doubt the truth of the telegram, a letter from Thon pson's wife, which reached tbe head quart. rs of tbe command after the furlongh bad bv<en granted was opened. The letter proved that the telegram was a fabrication, and that the furlough was obtained under false pretenses. Thompson's furlough was for six days, and having failed to report at the expiration of that time, he 1b declared a de serter. ? SUPPOSE? SPIES. John H.Gordon and John H. Kosler, 11th Va. cavalry, and Thomas Chapman, loth Va. cavalry, arrested by Capt. Hotch, at Tennally town, on Saturday last, as supposed spies, and forwarded to this city were committed to tbe Old Capitol yesterday by order of Provost Marshal Ingraham. These men represent themselves as deserters. The case will under go investigation by Major Turner. DESSICATED EGGS FOR SICK SOLDIERS. The Acting Surgeon General has ordered that hereafter when fresh eggs cannot be ob tained for patients in field hospitals, dessica t- d eggs shall be issued to them. RELEASED. Thomas Norton was released from further imprisonment in the Old Capitol this morning by order ol the Secretary of "War, he having taken the oath of neutrality. TOOK THE OATH. Joseph Newland, after taking the oath of al legiance, was released from the Old Capitol to-day, by order of the Secretary of war. SET AT LIBERTY. By order of the Secretary of War, Alfred Ray was released from the Old Capital tli; morning. Personal.?Col. Seward was in the city to-day. Financial?The New York Post of yester. day evening says : The increasing demand from abread for our Government securities continues to enhance their price. A number of foreign houses have in hand large orders for the five-twenties. The ten-forties also, it is reported, are likely to be in demand for European markets. We learn that at present the unexecuted foreign orders for national securities amount in the aggregate to ten millions of dollars. Mr. Fessenden has not determined as to the proposed issue of fifty miliions of five-twenty bonds to enable him to pay off the accumulating arrears of unpaid requisitions. As soon as the decision is made the public will immediately b6 apprised by fld vortiuemcnt, In consequence, however, of the pressing wants of the Treasury, and the scarcity and rapid absorption of our securities at home and abroad, it is regarded as certain that an early issue of gold-bearing bonds will be possible on terms unusually favorable to the National Treasury.

Heavy Fighting Sunday and Monday?The Rebels are Repulsed?They Design Cross ing the Potomac River?The Sixth Corps in the Fight?Darkness Ends the Con test? Our Loss is Very Slight?Sheridan in a Strong Position. [Correspondence Philadelphia Inquirer.] Harper's Ferrt, August22, noon.?Yester "day was an eventful day, and although not marked by what can be strictly termed a gen eral engagement, yet the events were of such a nature as to indicate a full solution of the sit uation in a very few hours. When daylight broke on Sunday (21st) our forces were substantially disposed as follows : Onr infantry line stretched northeast and southwest, the 6th corps holding the right, with its right on the Winchester and Charles town pike, about a mile and a half from the latter place. Next, and in the center extending across the dirt road to Snmmit Point, was the forces of Maior General Crook, and on the left the ltuh army corps, Major General Emory, with its left covering the Charlestown and Berryville pike, about midway between the two places. In front of this line was our su perb cavalry division of General Wilson, com prising the brigades of Macintosh and Chap man, being at Summit Point, with pickets es tablished at Opequan creek, and Merritt's division, consisting of Custer's, Devin's, Low ell's and the reserve brigades being at Berry ville, with a picket line joining Wilson's on tbe Opequan creek. Durfee's cavalry brigade was on our extreme right, covering the ap Eroaches from Martinsburg, and Averill, with is command, still remained at Shepherds town, as 1 have mentioned in previous dis patches. watching the fords of the Potomac. Such being tbe position we occupied, a glance at the map will show that Gen. Sheri dan had made admirable dispositions for either offensive or defensive operations, as circam stances might dictate. The enemy about nine a. m., made a simul taneous attack on General Merrittand Wilson, following up and driving in our pickets, with a dash of quickness unusual, even with them. They manilestly expected to surprise our lines and stampede our cavalry. In this thev were grievously disappointed. The attack on Merntt was with cavalry and several light field pieces, and on Wilson by a portion of Breckinridge's corps, with four pieces of artilley. Merritt and Wilson stood up to the work with that steadiness an$ vigor that has made our cavalry world-famous, only retiring in obedience to orders, suggested by tactical considerations, and in no wise com pelled to do so by any pressure of the enemy on our front. Gradually, however, during the day. our cavalry did fall back at their own leisure, keeping the enemy all the time in thorough check and at a respectful distance. At about the same hour that the enemy at tacked our cavalry lines they pressed, down the direct Winchester road, and made an onset on the right of the 6th corps, Russell's division. H?r?tte fi"ht was fierce and long contested, !m<i be ing between infantry and artillery on hoth sides, partook more of the character of a ppneral engagement. The 6th coips, however, Snder the able management of such officers as Wright, Russell, Getty and Rlckette, stood up unflinchingly to the work in hand; and the en emv notwithstanding his fnrloas charges, failed to make any impression on our lines whatever during the afternoon. In tact, we nressed back their line of battle on our right, ind when night fell and suspended the contest, our right had swung forward slightly in ad vance of the position oconpied in the beginning of the action. . . ... It is impossible to eetimate the losses _with any degree of accuracy at this moment. Of all that 1 can learn at this moment, the burden of the loss fell upon the Sixth Corps, whose killed and wounded will approximate three b^Tneto?ses in our cavalry wers slight, not withstanding their severe fighting, bat I heard bo estimate. The enemy's losses are not known, bnt from the nature of the contest they most equal if not ?lightly wowd onr own. Last night our army bivouacked on the field. Gen. Steridan, who, during the enUre day dis played great coolness and perfect equality to theaiigeney of the occasion, shared his bed wlOt Oen. Torbert, and his bed consisted of a rubber coat and a saddle. This morning onr Infantry line was with, drawn to the height? just beyond Bolivar, and at daybreak the enemy again opening ou our Imes were again met by Merritt and Wilson, and heavy skirmishing was going on, inter spersed with considerable artillery firing. It is probable that Oen. Sheridan's informa tion tends to the belief that the enemy has or will to-day attempt crossing into Maryland. If such should be their design, it is satisfac tory to know that it cannot be accomplished this time, as it was last, without th$ knowl edge of our commanders. As to the strength of the enemy, U is prob able his army numbers between 50,000 and 60,000 men of all arms, already np, but what is closely following down the Valley is only conjectural. Our old acquaintances of Early's ar my are again with us, and we certainly know of a fliyision of cavalry under Fitzhugh Lee, anB the largest portion of Longetreet's corps, while prisoners give statements of large bodies moving down the valley east of the Blue Ridge. How much of this iB true it will take two or three days' active rpconnois^ances to deter mine. The situation altogether, -although not ex actly what could be desired, is by no means ?k1Hc eTen should the enemy prove to have the largest numbers .omanttc lancy gives him. Operations to-day bav<* been confined to somewhat sharp skirmishing on portions of our lines. The enemy is still demonstrating to this ex tent on our front, bnt nothing beyond. I General Sheridan has occupied an extreme ly strong position, and if the enemy chooses to assault him he will be most decidedly whipped. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. FROM ATLANTA. BnILia,"?
