Stewart was killed in one of the lato bat

of his wounds.
The Cincinnati scare has nearly subsid

that the enemy will not come near enough*
for a fight. Gen, Kirby Smith was still at
Xesingtonon Wcdesday morning. Several
guerilla raids had been made on the line of
the railroad between Cincinnati and Lex

that the rebel army was moving far ward.
Cincinnati is reg arded as entirely secure.
STATE CONVENTION.
The Republican S'.ale Central Committee
met in this city yesterday and issued a call
for a State Convention, to be held at Spring
field, on Wednesday, the 24th inst, to
nominate candidates for State Treasurer,
Superintendent of Public Instruction, and
Representative in Congress from the State
at large. The call is addressed to li aU voters
“of the Stale of Illinois who cordially in
fc‘ dorse the present administration in its cf-
Cl forts to crush the existing rebellion against
government by enforcing the laws, and
ec who are in favor ot confiscating, under
c ‘ the laws of Congress, every description of
“ property owned by rebels; also of using
ct all the means known to civilized warfire
Ci for subduing the rebellion and punishing
“traitors, thereby saving the Union and
“the Constitution.” This invitation is
troad enough to include everybody who is
in favor of the war, in favor ofits vigorous,
earnest prosecution, in favor of sustaining
and encouraging our soldiers in the field,
in favor of executing the laws ot Congress,
in favor of purnsJuni 7 traitors. The Tory
tribe, who are opposed to these things,
N 5 ill, of course, go to some other place for
political fellowship.
THIS PACIFIC K 41 i.KOAD CONVEX*

The Pacific Railroad Convention, held
its last session yesterday, and dissolved
subject to tho call of the President and

Tiding for the sureties of the Treasurer
and other minor matters, were adopted.
The b- i oks for subscription will be opened

Several interesting addresses upon the

indicated palentrrasons for the location of
the route through those fertile plains.

Our correspondent at 'Washington sent

The mnch-advertbed convention of the

men of considerable ability and some promi

VOLUME XV.
smallest and scurviest potatoes ever turned
ont of a political hilL These men assembled
to consider of the national troubles, and to
frame a platform for the Democratic party.
The platform is eminently worthy of its archi
tects.
The main feature of the proceedings is an
address, which wrs drafted and pronounced in
the convention by Hon. E. G. Yyan, Thisad
dreis is well enough written, Mr. Ryan being
an able and scholarly man; but it is made up
of spiritless commonplaces and meaningless
platitudes. Next to that gentleman’s “holy
religion ” he esteems his party, and next to
his party his country,
Hon, Geo. B. Smith of Madison, a life-long
Dt mocrat, was in the convention, and made a
forcible speech against the assumptions of the
“ address.” He was avowedly for the country,
and would be for his party again whenever he
should again consider party'organiirtiona and
party s'rife to consist with the public welfare.
Mr. Ryan replied, that “he coulcTnt love the
country without the party. ”
There were, it is gratifying to know, other
patriotic gentlemen In the convention besides
Mr. Smith, who combatted the ruling senti
ment of the body. J. E. Arnold, Esq, of
Milwaukee, made an eloquent and powerful
speech, in which be urged Democrats to do no
act that would compromise J their honor or
tarnish their loyalty. One of two others still
had the manliness to express the same views.
The live democrats of Wisconsin kept aloof
from this convention, and its action will he
repudiated by every honest democrat in the
State. But meantime it is the duty of all

THIS AVAR IX KENTUCKY,
Tbe Bottle ofßlclimond-Bravery of
our Mes-Tbe Losses—movements
of the Hebei Army.
IFrom tlic Cincinnati Gazette.]
"We tad a conversation yesterday -with.
Lieut. Col. Armstrong, of the 95th .Ohio, wao
was engaged in the battle of Richmond on
Saturday. Col. A. was taken prisoner and
paroled. He 1- ft. Richmond Monday evening,
rode on horseback to Parle, where he arrived
early Tuesday morning. Thtnce be moved
by rail to this city. The account which Col-
Orel Armttrorg furnishes of the battle dif
fers very materially from that heretofore pub-
lished, and shows that our men, instead of
acting as cowards, fought with great
bravery. The battle did not cud in the
afternoon, when Gen. Nelson was wounded,
as report* d. Ow forces fell back to Rich
mond, fought through the city, and continued
the fight until nine o’clock at night, when
tb*y were finally overpowered about four
miles this side of that place, by greatly supe
ror numbers. Our loss in killed was about
150. The rebel loss in killed was about 200.
There are 1,000 federal and rebel wounded at
Richmond. We lost 2,600 in prisoners. These
were paroled and are now'mirchlng by Uud
to Cii dnnati.. They would reach Paris l ist
tveting, whence it was expected th.;v wo ild
be able to reach this city ny rail. The 95th
Ohio went into the engagement 1,000 strong,
and lost 700 killed, wounded and prisoners.
Col. Arms’long fcaviog given a list of tae
losses to the correspondents, who have not
yet arrived, was unable to furnish us the in
formation. The correspondents of the Gj
zttte and Commercial were taken prisoner*,
and paroled. They are coming home with
the soldiers, and may reach the city to
night. Our men who fell into the hands
of the rebels, -were treated with
marked civility, aad there is no complaint to
be made on this score. Col. Armstrong was
allow* d to retain his splendid horse, which he
rode to Paris. This officer, by the terms of
his parole, is prohibited from giving informa
tion as to the strength of the rebel army.
Gen Smith’s forces had net crossed the Ken-
tucky river up to Monday night; and at that
tme there was no force ol the enemy this
side of the river. On Monday evening Lex
ington had not been taken possession of by
the rebtls. Ail the reports we had of the en
emy inarching on Paris and Cynthiaoa had
tln.tr vrlpln In or.mebody’s ImasnnatLoa. The
Colom-1 of tbe IWth Oaio, who ran away from
Cvntbianaupon mere rumors of the approach
uf the emmy, has been dismissed from the
service, and Col. P. T. Swaine, a fine officer
and a perfect gentleman, has been appointed
to take his place. We congratulate the sol
diers of the 9'Jth upon this change.
The rebels attempted to cross the Ken
tucky River, Monday, on the road toward
Lexincton, but they were met by forces from
this side and repulsed. They then moved
down about six miles, where they were
again met, and the fiuht was progressing
when Col. Armstrong crossed the river above.
The banks of the river are very high, and
almost perpendicular, and the only passages
are at the ferries, which ore reached by roads
cut through the banks. It is therefore easily
defended. The rebels, heieg iu large force,
inaj have succeeded in crossing by dividing
tbeir army and moving one column over,
while another engaged our men. Upon this
point we have no reliable information. It is
our impression, however, that Smith’s army
could not, in any event, reach this city shirt
of three daj s from this lime. Oar defensive
measures, however, should not be delayed an
fcour, or slacken in tae l-ast degree. It is
positively known that Kir ay Smith has a for
midable army of veteran troops, with a large
supply of the beat artillery, and a full propor
tion of cavalry.
Later.—Capt. R. C. Rise, aid to General
M nson, reached this city last night. H* lett
Richmond on Monday, fle made his cec tps
and is therefore under no obligations to keep
secrete. He confirms Col. Armstrong’s su*.e
ments as to the bravery of cur soldi rs. Taey
were thrown into confusion owing to their
want of discipline, but. they fougnt on tbeir
retreat until 9 o'clock Saturday night The
rebel force engaged was stated by Kirby
Smith at 16,000,' with 12 pieces of artillery.
The rebels succeeded in crossing the riv*r,
and reached Lexington on Tuesday, 10,000
strong. Reinforcements were cornu.g into
Richm< nd when the captain left, and the full
extent of the army that may be concentrated
at Lexington he is not able to estimate reli
ably. It was rumored that Gen. Bragg was
mulching into Kentucky. Scott’s cavalry re
mained at Richmond. There were no rebels
at Paris or Cynthiana yesterday morning.
Onr cowardly officers, when they stampeded
trom Cynthiana, destroyed the government
“tores. At that lime there was no enemy
within thirty miles.
Our loss in killed at Richmond was to
250. Tt is is larger than Col. Armstrong’s es
timate, but it Is probably correct.
Col. Man son was taken prisoner and pa
roU- d. He is on his way to t*ris city.
Among the killed of onr officers were Col.
L : nn of tbe 12ih Indiana, and Lieut. Col.
Wolfe, There were about 600 f.-deral wound
ed at Richmond. They were well cared fur by
the citizens.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
[From the Cincinnati Commercial.!
Government Wagon Train Destroyed
rt Guerillas.—lnformation reached the
military authorities yesterday, that a band of
gutrillas, about eighty strong, had attacked a
wagon train on the Lexington turnpike, at
a place called Crow’s Pond, five miles beyond
Florence, and sixteen miles from Covington.
One report states thattbirty-two wagons were
burnt—seven of which were loaded with
clothing, and the others empty. Tho mules,
about 200 in number, were carried off by the
guerillas. The teamsters, it appears, had en
camped for tbe night, near the Fond, when
yucs gave information to a parly of rebel
homman at the town of Union, of their
wher* abouta, who came at a la*e hour and
destroyed the wagons. The teamsters receiv
ed an inkling of their coming la time to make
tbtir escape. The train, we learn, was on Its
way from Lexington to this city, having been
turned back when the evacuation of that city
was decided upon. Another report of the af
fair is that only seven wagons were burnt.
Tbe latter account is most probably correct.*
News from Lexington and other Points.
—Yesterday morning Mr. Fulton, £up?rin

siderable anxiety was felt for hi* sifety, and
all were mnch surprised and gratified when he
telegraphed back from Cynthiana tnat be hod
passed that point without meeting with any
obstructions, or seeing any rebel soldiers.
Still greater was the wonder of the managers
of the railroad, when Mr. Woodall tele

[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribnne.]
WASiintoTOir, September 4,1852.
Beyond light skirmishing, there has been
no fighting yesterday or to-day. From intel
ligent and cool headed men among returned
prisoners, it appears that the main force of
the enemy has been drawn back to north,
northwest and northeast of Fairfax C. H, as
though in position to march back through
Tboroughfare Gap or forward to the Potomac
at Leesburg with equal facility. The impres
sion continues to prevail in military circles
here that Lee is preparing to cross the Poto
mac above.
The machine for clipping treasury notes
works satisfactorily. A report to that effect
was made yesterday, and the large number of
women now employed for that purpose will
be consequently discharged within afewdsys.
Col. Brodhead of the Ist Michigan cavalry,
died of Ms. wounds, near the battle field,
Tuesday afternoon lust. Two bullets had
passed entirely through him. His remains
have been brought to Alexandria.
The President has made some promotions
already for meritorious conduct in the late
engagements.
Lieut. Sanborn, aid to Gen. Reynolds, just
arrived, says the Pennsylvania reserves have
rot lost over 500 in killed, wounded and miss
ing, during the late series of engagements.
About sixty of the department clerks who
started out to the battle field on Sunday list,
in answer to Secretary Stanton's call for
nurses, are supposed to be taken prisoners.
Some of our returned nurses who were on tie
field under a flag of truce, say they saw them
marching down to Lee’s headquarters under
guard. It seems probable now that our
losses in artillery in the engagements up to
Saturday night were not nearly so large
as was at first apprehended. Some of
ficers declare that our losses were not over
fifteen pieces, and others that they are not
over thirty.
.Last night about 1,100 prisoners who had
been taken "by the rebels in the late engage
ments, paroled.and arrived in.the city, having
left Manassas nigbt belor* vast. They say
alter they had been captured they were taken
to a deep ravine in the rear of Jackson’s
headquarters, and guards of cavalry put over
them, and most of them, after their
capture, being taken in a roundabout
way on the skirts of the rebel camp.
Some ol them say they were miserably fed,
but others say that they were fed with the
best tbe rebels could alford, they having noth- j
ing but what they captured. They could not
see the whole extent of the rebel camps, but
judging from what they did see, they thought
tnat on Sunday night 100,000 men were en
camped in the vicinity of Manassas. S rme of
them were kept three days in the ravine, and
were not given any food until after being con
fined for thirty-six hours, except what they
paid lor, the rcbtla charging them from fifty
cents to two dollars for a cracker or a piece
of bread. At one time our men got a little
noisy. Gen. Lee rode into their midst and
told them to keep quiet, he was going to
send tbem home soon. When they
were taken to the ravine they were stripped
of their accoutrements, bnt few of them bring
allowed to retain their haversacks. Taey no
ticed In the rauks of the rebels a large num
ber of foreigners, Irish, French, Ger
mans, &c.
A wounded man was brought to the hospi
tal near Manassas, and plead bard for a canteen
of water, offering twenty dollars in United
States Treasury notes for it, when a rebel
went of! and got him some water and took
the money.
It is stated that immediately after our re
cent evacuation ot Fredericksburg secession
ists among the people of the to wn appeared
on the streets, armed as guerillas, and com
menced arresting and sending to prison all the
remaining citizens who during our occupation
of the place Lad evinced any sympathy for or
courtesy to our troops, and hurried them off
to jjiL They also arrested all the free negroes
in the place on whom they could lay their
bauds, and jailed tbem also.
There seems to be conclusive testimony that
the rebel cavalry General Stewart was killed
some lime during the recent engagements.
The Ohio relief associations has been busy
to-day looking alter Ohio wounded.
Washington, Sept. L—The work of getting
the army into a good position has been accom
plished with entire success. So well con
ducted has been theprocess of falling back from
Centreville to its present position of defense
and perfect security, that not one army
wagon was lost on the route. Every
tbiig wvs carried through in the most
systematic manner. The main bodr of troops
now occupy positions a short distance from
the positions of last fall and winter. The di
vision of Major Gen, Fitz John Porter, conj
posed of the brigades of Gens. Morrill, Mar
lindale, Butterfield and Griflin, have their
tents pitched near the camp grounds of list
year. The tents of the famous* Griffin bat
tery, now commanded by Lieut. Hazlett,a gal
lant officer who was with the battery at the
first battle of Bull Ron, have their camp upon
the identical piece of ground occupied by
them last winter. |
Lieut, David R. Smith, of the 15‘.h New :
York volunteers (CoL McLeod Murphy,)
against whom charges had been preferred by
tbe colonel has been honorably dismissed
from the service, by order of the president, in
special order No. 275.
As is already known, the city and its nelgh
bothood were recently in & feverish state of
excitement and alarm, owing to the late bat
tles, and the retrograde movement of onr
troops, but at the same time a feeling of se
curity was felt among our citizens that the
capital was not within the easy grasp of the en
emy. When they first assumed a serious aspect
many of our citizens, together with sojourn
ers, left Washington lu alarm, but now it is
not known that any have taken their depart
ure under panic or serious apprehension of
danger by the rebel invasion.
The Chain Bridge, tbe timbers of which
were removed several days ago, was to-day
made use of for military purposes, thus facili

It has been stated that a number of gun
boats have approached within view of Wash
ington. The appearance of two of them in
the vicinity of Georgetown, this afternoon,
was Indeed a wonder, such craft never having
;btfcre«ppeared in that part of the Potomac.
There are numerous reports concerning the
CHICAGO. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 5, 1862.
movements of rebel troops. It is difficult to
verify them all, but there seems to be no
doubt that they have passed to D rains ville,
Leesburg, and further up the valley. The
; postmaster at Leesburg reached Washington
last week, intending to return oh Monday,
but to-day he concluded to defer his de-
parture.
A gentleman who arrived from Fredericks
burg last night—a citizen of Washington—re
ports that the destruction of bridges over the
Rappahannock at that place was completed
by our troops before they alleyacuated. . The
wire bridge, passable only for foot passengers
and light teams, having only been partially
injured, has since been repaired by the ciri
_zcdb. Scott’s foundry, he represent?, was not
blown np as reported, although powder was
placed there for that purpose.
Washington-, Sept. 4. —Yesterday afternoon
at 4 o’clock, there was-considerabJe fightlog
between Fairfax Court House and the interme
diate space towards Washington. The rear
fuard consisted, it is said, of Hooker’s and
itz John Porter’s divisions, who did eft act
ual service In keeping the enemy in check as
onr troops were moving into the fortifica
tions. protecting this city, on the Virginia
side. _
As to the report of the Chain Bridge being
destroyed, it is sufficient to say that several
days ago the planks were removed by our au
thor!! it-s ns a preventive measure, and the c:ty
is comparatively free to-day from excitement.
The reports of rebels having crossed into
Maryland find believers, but nothing to-day
was reliably known of it. It doe* not seem
probable, as the troops lining the Upper Po
tomsc shores are sufficient to cheek the prog
ress of any forces making such an attempt.
The weak points of defense arc being consid
erably strengthened.
It is reported to day that firing has been
heard in the vicinity ot Leesburg, but there ia
no means of ascertaining the" truth of the
rumor.
Scc’y Stanton was at the war department to
d*y, attending to business. This fact is men
tioned as a refutation of the report that he
yesterday retired from the conduct of the
war department.
Later— lnformation bas reached here that
the rebels are making demonstrations on ttre
river, and have already reached Leesburg,
spreading betwen there and Chain Bridge, as
if designing to bross in the neighborhood of
Poolsviile. Cavalry and artillery have left for
there to assist in guarding the fords.
It is reported that Winchester has been
evacuai ed and that the rebels appeared 1 force
in the valley. Our troop?, though much dam
aged by the late severe service, are being re
cruited and improved fast.
New York, Sept 4. —The New York Trib
une's correspondent says:
There is high authority for saying that the
government will immedia’ely institute inqui
ries into the cause of certain recent events.
It is believed that whoever is found to blame,

Washington, Sept. 4 —lnformation hi?
been received here that a number of persons

and to the comforts and removal of the
wounded. About twenty surgeons were of
the party. It is stated that a number ot them,
including the government clerks, were un
doubtedly captured on Monday, by the enemy,
who were engaged in harassing General B *nkV
retreat from Warreuton. Their going on the
battle field to perform the duty assigned
them, without a fiig of truce, was an unwise
proceeding. The paroled prisoners who ar
rived bete, say that they were well treated by
the rebels, except in the matter of food. Tney
a’so state that the report was prevalent
among the enemy that Gen. Ewell had died of
his wounds, and that Gen. Lee was slightly
wounded yesterday, in the hand, by the acci
dental discharge of his own ulatoL
Washington, Sept. 4.—Eight freight car
loads of hospital stores and supplies which
were contributed by citizens of Boston on
Sunday afternoon, arrived here this morning.
|’Reports have reached here from time to

Military preparations here are on a large
scale. Volunteers fully armed are pouring

ptrlectly safe. The people, who have fairly
swarmed to give them a reception, are only
anxious now lest after all they will not get a

Kirby Smith is supposed to have
been 20,000 to 30,000 men, with a good
supply ef artillery and cavalry. A
large proportion of these are at Lexington.
Yesterday morning there were no rebel troops
nearer to this place than that city.
Guerilla bands have sprangup all along the
line of Central Kentucky railroad, and these
have been creating some alarm and are basis
fer numerous rumors of the approach of reb

have no fec-ra.
Gen. Wallace has displayed great energy.
He has bad our whole male population at

regretted, as there is no more loyal paper, and
it bas been faithful in the support of the war
and the government. Its proprietor has also
been a most liberal contributor to the war

FROM SPRINGFIELD.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Spbikofizld, September 4,1862.
In epecialorder No. 121 of the war depart
ment, I find the following important provis
ions, among, others, relative to the draft:
“The commissioner for drafting in each
county will, upon the assembling of the draft
at the county seat, appoint a lance corporal
for every eight men, and a lance sergeant for
every sixteen men, and will make contracts
for cooked provisions sufficient to subsist the
men until their arrival at the camp of rendez
vous, and twenty-four hours thereafter. Copies
of these contracts and duplicate bills will be
sent to the commissary general for payment.
The commissioner will accompany the men to
camp, providing for their transportation hy
railroad or steamboat where practicable, ami
where it is necessary to march he may pro ride a
reasonable amount of transportation for the
previsions and baggage of the men. The ex
poses of transportation will be paid hy the
qmrterrosrster’s departmenton duplicate bills
cirtilied hy the commissioner. The chief
trusterir.g officer of each state will immedi
dately, in conformity with the regulations of
, the subsistence department, advertise for sep
arate proposal, jind make contracts for un.
cooked rations for each camp, and will also
make their requisitions upon the com
missary general to meet all subsist
ence for drafted men while they
remain at camp of rendezvous. After being
organized into regiments, rations will be sup
plied by the regimental quartermaster, etc.
Cooking utensils, blankets, etc., will be furn
ished by the quartermaster’s department. All
citizens who vounteer or are drafted, are ad
vised to lake with them to camp a good st out
blanket. It is for the soldier’s Interest to
supply himself, as it is impossible for the Uni
ted States to do so immediately. The camps
of Illinois volunteers will be supplied by C ipt.
J. A. Potter, acting quartermaster, Caicago.
The camp near St. Louie will he supplied by
Maj. Robt. Allen, chief quartermaster of the
department of Missouri.”
The eeccsh prisoners at Camp Butler are to
he immediately released. Cal. Fon-lahas or
ders to that effect.
CoL Fonda, of the 12th HI. cavalry, the pop
ular and efficient commander of Camp Butler,
has been elected colonel of the Hancock
county regiment.
The following additional regiments have
been organized:—l3oth, Col. Niles, at 8.-lls
ville; 131 st, Col. G. W. Neely, at Metropolis;
132 d, Col. G. W. McKeig, at Shawneetown.
This makes sixty-one regiments in all, but
there are three or four more floating around,
so that no doubt Illinois will have at least
sixty-five regiments in the field under the late
Call, and over 60,000 volunteers.
Gen, McCiernand and staff start for Chicago
to-morrow night and arrive there by the Rock
Island Railroad at 9 o’clock Saturday mom
irg. It is expected he will be received by a
deputation of the Board of Trade and escorted
to his hotel. He will be present at the meet
ing in Chicago on Saturday evening.

The generalship which caused eight regi
ments to be almost ruined at Richmond, and
which directed the evacuation of Lexington
and Frankfort, is greatly censured here. o.OOq
troops were kept back at Lexington during
the battle, and 10,000 couldhave been concen

Bcyou Sara, La., the 26th, says the federal
steamer Essex arrived there Saturday night
and shelled the town without doing any dam
age. They then landed, two boat loads of
troops and set the place on fire. All the
houses on the levee but two were burned
down. They pillaged all the houses not
burned. Some militia at West Felavara fired
upon them, but it is not known whether any
were hurt or not. Then the federals returned
to their boats and transports and passed down
the river. It is supposed they have gone after
reinforcements and to destroy St. Francisville,
which is on a hill; but all is quiet. Our troops
are in possession of Baton Rouge, Port Hud
son being fortified by the rebels. Among the
guns are two captured from Fort Sumter.
Bayou Sara is considered by the rebels one of
the most eligible points above New Orleans.
A skirmish is reported by the Vicksburg
Citizen as having taken place on the 27th near
Greenville, between their pickets and a squid
of men from one of our gunboats, iu winch,
two of the latter were killed. Our licet is be
lieved to be still at Young’s Point, nothing
having been seen of it at Vicksburg lately.
The news ftom the north yesterday created
a sensation here. Some rebels forgot them
selves so fur as to express their joy at what
they considered a federal defeat in Virginia
and some got themselves into a difficulty!
One Maas, a tailor, has been arrested forex

Xlie Great Battle of Saturday,
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribance.]
Centkeviixb, August, 31,1862.
Porter’s corps bad arrived on the ground at
9 o’clock from Manassas, making five corps
ready for action. The number of men com
pilstd in these I should estimate at 00,000.
Hooker’s division had but 2.441 men in the
ranks, so terribly has it shrunk by battle and
disease.
In the order of battle for the day Heiutzel
man commanded the right, Porter the centre,
M cDowell the left, and Sigel, whose corps hod
borne the brunt the diy before, the reserve.
At 10 o’clock Heintzelman advanced, skir
mishers into the wood on the right of the
battle field of the day before, aad found it only
bt-ld, by a few t r ohoiesome bushwhackers.
Drtvingthem back, large numbers of wounded
were got off and passed to the rear.
I rode in with these skirmishers as far as I
deemed prudent. At any rate I got upon
ground where the corpses attested the fighting
bl the day before. First j came upon bodies
in blue. These were our fallen. Then there
were those in blue mingled with others in
gray and nondescript. That ground had been
fought over. A little further they were all
blue and nondescript. And here the bodies
were thickest. Upon ground that I judged to
be not over half au acre, I counted seventy
nine bodies, dead and wounded. Advancing
further still, I saw a Union soldier seized, not
ten rods from me, and carried off by bush
whackers. I retired (in good order) satisfied
that rbe enemy’s loss exceeded our own. At
2 o’clock, by the movements of troops from
linbt to left, I inferred that the positions of
the enemy had been fonnd in that direction.
By this time our line was different from that
of tie day before. Our right was further ad
vanced, our left withdrawn, so that we fronted
almost to the sontb. Atßnllßan,ayearsgo,
we faced exactly south.
At 3 o'clock Gen. Stevens attacked at the
right, and soon after Gen. Butterfield at the
lelt. The enemy’s shells seemed equally dis
tributed along the whole line, and at each
point of attack he met us with musketry.
I was at Geu. Sigel’s headquarters. That
general was certain the enemy intended to
turn one or the other of our flanks, and said
we must ascertain which, or the result was at
the best doubtful; for his scouts had justre
poited that Lee, with the entire remainder of
the rebel army, had come up and assumed
command. Tha scouts were correct. On
Saturday we fought the whole rebel army.
Posting myself In the cemer. within view of
both portions of the field where infantry were
engaged, Icouidnot determine which had the
beat of it. Evidently but few troops were en
gaged, and 1 surmised that we were fighting
merely to learn where lay. the enemy’s main
force. At length our force at the right was
driven beck, and I thought Gen. Pope bad
been outgeneraled when he moved men at am
earlier part of the day from right to left.
£;A quarter of an hour later,! wished he had
moved a still greater proportion to the left.
1 have heard the musketry of the best con
tested battles foughtln "Virginia, and X say
unhesitatingly that the fire which broke out
at the left and up the center, was by fir the
heaviest of any. Talk ol volliea, and rolls,
and crashes I It was all these continudly ac
cun ulating, piling upon each other in mighty
swelling volume—the wrestle of rushine tor
nadoes fuch as chaos may have known. From
u>y position it seemed that artillery played
bom each of the cardinal points upemthedt
voud center where I knew men were strog
clit g. I could not tee them struggling. The
tmrke of gunpowder prevented 'that, but I
knew they were there, and I trembled for tha
iCMilt. A few mltute* la'-t r 8 :hurz who was
li> the reserve, »as ordered to the left. B -.fore
.be ; could get farely into position, McD twell
aid Porter wereirretrvviblv broken. Th-dr
soldiers fought like brave men; li moments be
reckoned by their intensity, thav fnight
lo r g, as- they surely did fight 'well. ’ I
btbeve there cannot he a man who heard or
participated in thatnwfol tragedy, but counts
the hour between 4)-£ and o'clock the ss
vemt fighting he ever knew. It was all at
one point. Along the right half of the line
the combatants seemed to desist in amaze
ment at the straggle there. By half after five
it was apparent” that we were beaten. —out-
flanked by a concentration upon the left.
Wagoners and stragglers abour. rhe hospitals
set nit d the retreat, and soon trains of Che far
mer and streams of the latter could be seen
roaMrg for the Ball Rou bridges anl ford?,
McD< web’s and Porter’s corps retired in com
paratfr e order. I use this term not as- a mild,
hut fshe paraphrase for driven back, but oe
canse it covers the actual fact in the case.
I do not think there was a brigade tbit
ern’d not, as it came from the Arid, show its
distinct regiments, or rather a necleus of
each reglmept to whose standard ere it hid
inarched a mile its scattered men gathered.
Still there were several thousands harrying,
pell mell, in advance of them toward Cen
terville, crowding the Stone Bridge and
wading the stream. A dozen long wagon
trains centered there, hut there was but
litle confusion among them, no de
sertion of wagons, but simply a jam,
where each desired and pushed to be
first. They were thus cool, notwithsaud
irg a few shell burst among them. All this
lime the right was firm, and only at the calm
discretion of its generals. Unaccountably to
me at the time, so soon as we fell back from
the left the musketry almost entirely ceased.
We were pursued by shells only. It is prob
able that the enemy dared not advance lest
Heintzleman and Sigel should fall upon his
flank as he should pass by them.* Sigel
had not had bis fight out, nor had Heintzel
man, and the enemy was hardly iu condi
tion for another batttle immediately. It is
possible, also, that Banks 1 corps was nearing.
The field—he was known to be at Manassas
early in the day—and they may have seen his
advance and been afraid. It was all done In
two hours. Another corps upon the field
would have frustrated that rash of overpow
ering numbers upon one p-ilat. Those num
bers were so overpowering that they suceeded
before men could be moved against them
from any other part of the field. Franklin
lay st Centerville, Sumner at Arlington
flights. Why had they not been sent to Pops
live days before, as they were ordered, and he
expected ?
Facts and Reflection* from the Battle
Field.
[Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.]
Washington, September 1,1863.
The gallantry and bravery of our entire
army was worthy of all praise. They fought
to the admiration of their commanding offi
cers, and deserved victory which they had
almost won when theorderof Gen. M:Do veil
compelled them to leave the field. Tne tens
of thousands of soldiers, whom I saw on Sib
bath, while they had a sad and disappointed
look, yet not one with whom, we talked felt or
taiaa word but what indicated.courage and
hope of Seal success. A number in a Wis
consin regiment and in other regiments,
when tilling us of the unexpected result ou
Saturday night, shed tears, and affirmed that
it was all owiug to bad generalship. This is
almost the universal sentiment of our army,
as it is of public sentiment here. I dare not
state what I heard many soldiers say of the
military management of Geo. McDowell oa
Saturday night, but the mildest word I can use
is, that there is in the army of Centreville a
general disapprobation and indignation at his
conduct. All things, they said, indicated a
glorious victory, till heoidered his division
to iali back.
Can the people of the republic keep silence
longer at the gross mismanagement of this
war. Never in the history of nations had any
g*.-v*rtment such a nobl-army, or such ample
means placed at its disposal to subdue its
enemies and their victories, as the American
govi rnment, and never has there been suffi
blundering, even gross mismanagement, and
ii compctency on tne part of our military
officers. If public sentiment does not declare
U.i?, then we are mistaken in what we hear
and read.
Yesterday I saw nearly if not quite 200.000
of American soldier.-, and Napoleon the Great
would have been proud to have led such an
army. Manly and intelligent, brave aad un
daunted In their acta, aod ready and eager to
be led against the enemy, and on to victory,
and yet to let], as the army generally does,
that they sire tinder incompetent leud-Trs, and
to be sacrificed without winning victories and
crushing out this lerritic rebellion, is sad to
them and discouraging to tbe nation. These
brave men leel they are lighting for the holy
cause—for the life”of the repaolic itself, and
are ■willing to suffer and die tor it, but they no
longer desire to be tacrliiced to bad general
ship. There is a most fearful resp msibility
some where, and a most awful account to be
rendered to the American people.
In Ibe late battles, and especially on S itur
day nigbt. the rebels fought wit a desperation.
They leel that their opportunity is now or
never, and hence their ferocious energy and
desperation. Tbe testimony of all who were
in tbe battle on Saturday is, that the enimy,
about. G o’clock, became furious and lougnt
like tigers. Tbey mirched up within a lev
yards of our ranks, and poured their deadly
vollies so thick and fast that, to use the words
of ihose with whom I conversed, they were
mo»ied down like grass.
