he wae again brevetted caplalu "for highly gallant and
meriterlona conduct." For hla gallantry in tbia engage
ment, and Other distinguished services during the war,
be waa also presented with a magnificent sword by tbe
State of Illinois.
In 1840 he conducted tbe exploring expedition whleb
first laid open tbe fertile regions of Minnesota, and de
monstrated tbe practicability of aarigating the "Red
River of the North" with steamers, for which services
he received a vota of tha.iks from the Territorial Legis
lature of Minnesota. This labor accomplished, we nex'
find him eerving in New Mexico as topographical sngl"
user, until 1853, whan h# was assigned to the command
of one of the expeditions to sorvsy a route for the pro
posed Pacific Railroad. So thoroughly and suecemi'uliy
did he accomplish this work that lha War Department,
in its annual report of 1864, paid him the compliment of
an extended sad honorable notice. ?o? 1854 until 1869
he wae engaged in scientific explorations on the Plains
and In tbe Rocky Mountains, among the more important
of which were the experiments, by means of artesian
wells, for supplying that vast country with pure water
His csotributions to the various branches of science dur.
lag these years have made his name widely kaown
throughout this country and Europe. He returned from
the Plains in 1858, and shortly after married a daughter
of Hon. V. B. Horton, member of Congress from Ohio.
At the first Inception of our civil disturbances he took ?
strong grounds against secession, being one of the few
regular army officers who did so, and was arrested and
ordered to be tried by President Buchanan for a lecture
delivered in tlnctnnali aarly la February, 1841, strongly
denouncing the send treasonable oours# of the adminis
tration. On the call for thrao years volunteers he was
mads a brigadier general by President Lincoln, and for
several mouths commended In North Missouri, and there
inaugurated a policy against the guariha warfare then J
being serried un in thet port of the country, which policy 1
would have speedily quieted that section, and which
though set aside by General Fremont, waa afterwards put
in force by Genera] Halleek. On the 18th of Deoember
last be surprised sad captured naavly two rebel

movements against the rebels at Shawnee Meu?d. So
omolete and rapid were these operations that all af |
^Central Missouri was cleared of Pries's forces and re
**lored to quiet within ten days. It will be remembered
?hat this success was the firm our arms bed met with
inc. the dtsartor si Bull rim, u< ail will remember the

reader's salads. We seed bat allude to It. The rebel*
retreated under oovsr of the darkness of tba night of the
11th, and General Pope took possession of the ground for
merly held by tliem. General Pope followed up the bat
tie by pursuing tne rebels across the Raptdan with his
cavalry and a small Infantry force, occasionally engagiug
then. Be next poshed on his whole army to the Rapl
daa, General Sigei's corps driving back the rebels every
time they attempted to cross that river. The rebels, un

General Pope to front, while Jackson attempted to outflank
him. Be however managed to defeat theif pians for
tuns, by organising a fighting retreat, during which Gone
ral Sigei's cone acted brilliantly. At last, however*
Jackson succeeded to getting into hlB rear, atd Pope waa
surrounded. But he has brilliantly released himself from
the difficulty by cutting bis way through the rebels and
forming a junction with Burnside and McClellsn. To him
properly belongs a groat share of the praise, for no plans
from headquarters sou Id have achieved to glorious a re.
suit, sxoept by the bravery of General Pope and the offi
cers and men under btra.
During Pope's administration of his new department
be has made himself remarkable by the energy of hu
movements and the determination evinced to his genera]
orders. The rebels really became frightened of blm, and
denounced him by general order, in which tboy declared
that If he or any ef his officers were taken prisoners, they
would bo treated as common felons. Instead of being
cowed by such an announcement, It only added vigor to
his already vigorous plans, the result of which La yet to
be determined, although there can be no doubt of final
success.

THE BATTLE PR0URK8KEH.
We have news from the vicinity of Fairfax Station that
baavy tiring baa baen going on this morning, apparently
in tbe vicinity of Manassas, as though tbe aetioo of yes
terday there is still !a progress. This Tact inclines us to
tbe belief that tbe current engagement there Is a general

rebel army.

The manner in ?hlcb nOwt of Jackson's fore* suddenly

concerning the particulars of this battle for at least
twenty-four hours.
THB TWELFTH PKNN8TLTANIA CAVALRY.
We have the following further p irtlculars In reference
to the Twelfth Pennsylvania ravalrv, which was accused
of skedaddling recently in s skirmish near Manassas:?
TUB COLONEL PROTESTS AGAINST THB ORDER TO
3 MARCH.
On MM Tuesday, August 3d, the regiment was ordered
Away from Mauasas against the protestations of tbe Colo
nel, to Gainesville, whercjihey encountered two regiments
of rebel infantry, and what was supposed to be . brigade
of infantry in tbe woods. Tbe Twelfth Pennsylvania cut
their way through a column which had gotten in their
rear, and retreated In order toward* Brmtow Station,
where they were obliged to out their way through another
force of ratals.
THE CAVALRY COT THEIR WAY THROUGH THB REBELS.
Arrived ut Manassas they found their old camp entirely
in rebel possession, mud the federal batteries turned
against them. Hera again tbe cavalry out their way
through, and want on towards Fairfax, and thence to
Alexandria, arriving at the latter piaes at nine o'clock on
Wednesday night.
STRENGTH AND LOSS OF THB REGIMENT.
Tbe regiment was not, as stated, 800 strong, but had
not more than 000 men, 260 of whom are now wounded er
prisoners in tbe bands of rebels at Maaassas. One major,
one cuptain, four first lieutenants, five second lioutcnasts,
were also killed, wounded or taken prisoners.
THB REBELS IN FULL ADVANCE.
It waa not a raid of the rebels, bnt an advanca In force,
and in numbers so far superior (that tbe cavalry would
have been annihilated. Colonel Pierce, who had been
confined to his bod for two weeks, was too 111 t* take
commssd; and Major Titus, who led tbe troop, wan shot,
and Is now in rebel hands. The reason for going to Alex
andria was, that thare was no other point whore provi
sions or forage could be obtained, and the horece bad
bean or th* march twenty-foer hours.

The statement as to tbe greennese of the horse* Is coo

General Taylor, thinking tbeos vera our own traope,
and that they were attacked by tbe rebels, prepared M
more forward end suppurt thssa. He bod not praooedoto

THE JERSEY TROOPS CBAKOK ON THE BATTbhT.
Finding eat their true condition, General Tartar
ve tbe order to charge end tabe tbe battery by aterm.
iey proceeded M within three hundred yards of tea
rebel battery, when tbe firing beouaae so uiurderaea,
*ad our mea fab ee ftmt, that General Taylor food to
wo*id ba impoeeibto to take tbe battery, aad ihsrffiSri
pave die order to about face and in trcb off tbe field ia
line ?f hail#. Thin was done In an exue.lent manner. Tbe
rebels, toning our men retreat, ad v.>nce<i tbeir cavalry aad
artillery, and poured law our troope a destructive fire. Our
troops march** on until they reached the side of Bull
ran, whoa 'boy were hal'ed, and joieod hy tbe Eleventh
and Twelfth Ohio. The New Jersey brigade wan placed
la the rear, end tb* enemy wore eugaped by the Oble
boys, who held them in check for eome time, but finding
thai, if they ibould continue tbe struggle any longer they
would be surrounded, si-wiy retiested to Buck station.

HOT A OUN WAS FIEBb ON Ol'B SIB1.
Tmrtng the whole of the charge on the rebel battery
the New Jersey brigade did not gre ? siiu-le gun, al
though thuy were under a murderous ttie tor an hour and
a half. General Taylor wanted to lake the piece by tbe
bayonet. If be bad had a battery 01 artillery atoug with
bliu bo would, no doubt, have iLiteulbe rebels out if
their intreucbinenta.
WHERE HAS JA0R8ON QONE ?
It le generally believed tn.it Jackson, ilndlng that he
eonld not capture Hope, has gone to l-eeshurg, from which
place bo wi I inarch to tbe IVlomtc, and thou cross at Ed
wards' Ferry mui Maryland, wbile Lee, with his whoto
army, would move forward on our front. If this bo tho
rebel leaders' lu tenUons they will undoubtedly fail, for
our military leaders have maue ample pret>arai.ons to re
ceive the rebel army, at no matter what point it may
come. Jackson is between Pope aud Mc' lellan, and you
need sot bo surprised at any moment to near
render or tho attar annihilation oi ritonowalPs troop*.

Washington, August 28,1802.
The absence of foil intelligence from the neat of war
causes a deep ImprerBiou of anxiety id be undo upon the
uimde of oil to-day. though the evening .journals profuse
to have news which una m?re g.atii'ying churacl"
than can be obtained from other Sources. and seems to as
sure the safety of the capital beyond a douht. So iar
from too dash on Mansssas being a mere cavalry raid, it
lengthens out Into uue or two divwi ns of tbe rebel army,
wbich have thus far euecoeded in maintaining ? position
between the army of General Pn|* and the f rtiliuaiiona
arouod Washington, t-ven alter one or two battles have
bran fought. From tbe mass of contlictiug rumors, stories
of returned officers, civiAans and a travelers, it appears
that Jackson's army and Stuart's cavairy snocesdsd, on
r :es lay night lost, in leaching Brtstow and Manassas
stations, in the rear of General Poiie, by coning around OB
the ndfiiisdst of hi* command, via White i Ulos, until

Ripj.aliann * It was untile near its bead, at Waierloo, and
tln*i:ce the rebel 001 pe was marched to Winte Plains, and
ac.oss the country to Hiistow oud Manassas. This was
arc mi llslied in two days, and with >ul the trans, avia
tion of much baggage lliui, Instead ot giitng battle
to only cavalry at IImasms. Taylor's brigade,)? \V#>1
i -sday. engaged treble us r.nmboi of the vuomy near tho

mewed between PqjDc and either Jacks m'e roar or Long
hi reel's advance, s-rue where about Maunrsae. If with
the form r. then ifofnizelman't corn <t mw , or a por
tion oi' it, was engaged on our side. If r.-ita tbo latter,
then ycUowell, or Sipel, or belli, commenced it. It con
t inued tlnough the balance of the afterunon, and the re
sult wee favo ab e to us.
Hooker's battle of tho day before yesterday was with
E*oil's divtsv n, and w.ia a very gratify iug success. Tho
star cays that Ma,or Geuer.il Pope,at ball iwat nine yester
day forynonn, had com .-ntruted ni* vory Urge army sj as
sadly to inienerg with the ralcnUtions upon which tho
rebel generals must huve i mtnred tliclr bold and extra
ordinary movement. He h .d gotten Mclt'tdH1! force, in
cluding Sigel's, probably, between Jackson's rear and
L/xigstrecl'e front, and had also all tbe rest of his army
well up, within supporting distance of thcni.
If the enemy does m* succeed in getting to Lee*burg or
into tho valley of Vi giant, there is very sure indicaiieu
that be will beeapturod.
Id the afternoon about eight hundred of this cavalry
force, under Stuart In per'on, moved down !ruin Fairfax
COurt House to Vienna, and this morning an advance of
this ravalry c:tme lroin Vienna to Falls Church, where
t arove a
thoy.drove away our pickets and tbo telegraph operator
at that point. This Is but fix tniles from Georgetown
and Washington, and at noon to-day I ebel cavalry were
also seen at Lewlttsvifle, wh'-re firn. McOH's wrves
wereonos encamj.-ed. but twelve mlics from Washington.
IutcMgsoce bus just reasbud the city ibat another bat
tle is in progress at Manassas. It b probably a fitrge one,
Including all of Pope's army.
I could not telegraph last uight. bet now add that Gene
ral McCVelina has been placed ui eowimand of all the Union
iorcos In Virginia, and le so disposing of the heavy Unbwv
farce In and around Wasiitngton, Alexandria end the fbr
tfficatious aa souu to make U play an Important part i?

EXCITEMENT IN MAETLANB.
A privet# tatter from a saerchsat in Baltimore says
that, as the PoU>mac is now fordabta at every print, ranch
excitement prevails la Western Maryland, In eone~|ue ce
of the recent incursFmof tbe rebels. Tbe enemy, how
ever, has net appeared on the upper Potomac, thought
niueh SMUemeut prevails or.both tides from aa appre
hension of aa oariy visit.
The i-xclU-tsenl and depression, which prevailed both
at Wa-hmgmn and Haitun-re yeetar<lay, have been fnlly
