At day light on Friday Gen. Pleasanton was dis patched in hot pursuit, with two batteries of fly ing artillery and two regiments of cav alry—Sth Illinois and 4ih Indiana. In passing through a gup in the hills he suc ceeded in cutting off a large amount of their ammunition, supplies, etc., besides a Fnmll portion of Maxcy Gregg's South Carolina brigade. Pleasanton shelled the m enemy with effect as they passed through a ravine. .The last seen ot the rebels tiny were flying in the direction of Win * Chester, and it is supposed they would re treat precipitately on to Richmond. At the close of the battle on ‘Wednesday the result was undecided, though the rebels had been driven from several posi tions. But tludr subsequent precipitate rcircat into Virginia was a confession on their part that the federal army had won the great battle.

If they arc vigorously pursued our army can fallow them into Richmond and cap* tare the capital of Scccssla with ease. It is to be earnestly hoped that no rest or chance to recuperate and repair losses will he allowed them. Keep them moving is the true policy. ANOTHER NAVAL VIC FORT. Our gallant tars are determined to main tain the fame and glory of the navy. Com mander Puller, of the Essex, has captured the city of Katchez. The particulars arc given to us in the New Orleans papers, ex tracts from which the readers will find else where. The Essex was cruising on the Mississippi, when she was assailed by a. rebel gunboat, which she speedily drove off, and finding her hand in, then proceeded at once to KaUibcz andreduced the town. # As if this were not enough,' the Essex- -next turned on Saraband afterwards silenced a great shore battery. As Example.—'Those California troopswho xurrehed fifteen miles a day for nearly sixty <hr> a, through a deserted countiy, with no pro visions or forego except what they could car ry; who forded streams; passed over sandy plains; fought Indians; loss, ten men; and arrived at the Texas border In good condition, xcr.dyforan immediate hoot with the rebels —those troops have set an example to our soldiers which they should not pass unheeded.

[The mop we giro covers the vicinity ot Harperis Ferry and the VaUey of the Shenan nandoa, again an. important theatre of the war, The rebels have recrossed at Shepards town and are again in Virginia.— Eds. Tbib.] [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune,} Washikgtok, September3o, 1863.' This morning’s Actional Intelligencer says: We have been informed on good authority in regard to the surrender of the Harper’s Ferry post, and we state facts in extenuation of blame we have seen thrown on CoL Miles for the act. The necessity of the surrender bad become so clear and unmistakable that the painful step was resolved on with the concar r,nce of all the superior officers present. As there was but one superior officer pres- ent, this paragraph of course means Gm. Ji.Uua White, whose friends have been .it t, mptlng to exculpate him from re&ponsibU.ty in the matter. An attempt having been made to relieve CoL Tom Ford of Oaio from the odium of having unnecessarily abandoned Maryland Ulghts, the Baltimore American publishes the following official order from Miles to Ford: Bahtxb's Ferut, Sept. 18,18G3. CoL Ford, Commanding Maryland Bights: Since I returned to tht* side, on dose inspec tion I find your position more-defensible than it appeared when at your station, covered as it is at all points by the cannon of Camp IIQI. Ton will hold on, and can hold on, till the cows 1 Tours, tails dtopoff. (Signed) D. S. Minns, Coh 2d Infantry. Nothing farther has yet been made public officlally about the Maryland battles. The general feeling is, that, while our victory is not as complete as dispatches from the Held first led ns to anticipate,.!! was, nevertheless, a substantial success, won by the superior stubborn fighting of our soldiers against equal If not superior numbers. It is believed that the moral effect of the defeat on the lately ex ultant and confident spirit of the rebel army will be worth more than any other advantage we may have gained. Fkedekick, Md., Sept. 20.—A gentleman, who left Boousboro last night, says that the firing was between onre and the rebel ba’teriea across the river, the latter endeavoring to pre vent our pursuit at the river bank. Many conflicting reports were received here dnrirg the day, of skirmishing with the rear guard of the cuuuy, who jvere in full flight for the Potomac. A gentleman, who left McClellan’s head quarters before the general started, informed us that at 4 o’clock Burnside had crossed the Fotumaw, and was harassing the rebels’ rear. , ' - Latest reports received arc that (he rebels •ere forced to destroy a large portion of their trains and spike and abandon much of their artillciy, to prevent it falling into our hands, so closely were they pursued by the Union army.

[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.} Cairo, Sept. 21,13Q2. It has been known several days to the iatl iiiated that a great battle was on the tapis in the vicinity of Corinth, but considerations of public policy has prevented mention till no w. Gen. Grant has moved on the enemy’s works successfully. He ha s given Gen. Price and bis legions a sound thrashing. The intelligence is not so fall as we desire, but this appears to he the substance ot it. Day before yesterday with Gen. Rosecrans’ army of the the Mississippi, formerly Gen. Pope’s army coips, marched from Corinth in the direction of luka. Here they met Gen. Price with 15,000 men, who was mak itg for Eastport, with the evident ia inUntion of fording tbc Tennessee Biver at Muscle Shoals, to join Bragg’s army. Yes terday afternoon.at 4 o’clock heavy skirmish ing commerced, and was continued till night fell, when darkness compelled a bupention of bar tie. Early this forenoon the fight was renewed, and continued till noon, whoa the enemy gave way and took np a line of retreat to the south ward. The fighting was done mostly by G eu. Stanley’s division of Bos ccrans’ army. The Ices to the federal side is, in killed and wound ed, not far from 500. The rebel loss is not ascertained but Is supposed to largely exceed that cumber. Among the rebel casualties Is one general killed and one severely wounded. We took about 500 prisoners. Oar army is in fall pur suit, and hopes are entertained that we shall be able at least to capture the enemy’s artil lery. The troops engaged are mostly Illinois troops, the 51st Illinois, Col. Bradley’s, prob ably being among the number. Messenger’s cavalry played a conspicuous part in the en gagement. Gen. Ord moved from Corinth to luka via the Memphis and Charleston road, but did not arrive in eeacon to participate in the en gagement. LATER. 10 p. m.—The operator at Corinth adds that the light occurred two miles east of luka. The rebel Gen. Little, formerly governor of Mississippi, was killed, and the rebel Gen.

It is thought that one shot entered the pcrl-hole of the Essex, causing damage, as smoke was seen and screams heard; hat the injury, if any, was not ascertained. The rebels call the Essex a piratical craft, and say she was on her way to New Orleans. Cairo, Sept. 20.—210 additional negro wo men and children have j ust arrived from below.

We know that Slblev’s brigade, after a tem porary success at Val.erde.J’ncar Fort Craig, about 150 miles north ot El P wj,) pa-sid. Fcrt Craig, and captured Santa Fe. Endeav oring to go on to Port Union, thev were de feated, and compelled to retreat. They evacu ated Santa Fe, leaving their sick and wounded, and took the back track to El Paso. Two or three small skirmishes occurred, but after re paying Fort Craig we have had no certain in telligence concerning them. In the vicinity of Fort Fillmore, Sibley wa? intercepted by troop-* from CaUforni *. Gen j ral Canny, with the New Mexican troops, was In pursuit and close at hand. He was thus caught between two Hits, and retreat being impossible, a battle occurred, which resulted in Sibley’s utter and complete defeat. The California troops were supposed to number about 5,000. Sibley’s brigade originally numbered about 2,700. Biyior*s regiment was already in Arizona, and was joined to his brigade, so that his entire force was about 3,500 men, as efHci°nt and well armed as Texas could furnish. Tney were all mounted and well provided with artillery, among which were nine mountain howitzers. But the length of the journey—-the want ol supplies and medical stores—his losses by sickness, desertion, wounds and death, and capture of prisoners by the government forces bad greatly reduced his numbers, and pro duced a disheartening effect upon those who remained. In the last fight, the Texans lost all—horses, arms, cannons, all their stores, and even, the Fullers’ trains. Grant’s celebrated train, cap tured by the Texans last summer, was recap tured in this fight. A great number were killed or wounded, and about one-half the whole force were taken prisoners. Gen. Sibley, with Col*. Steel and Green, escaped with 150 men of Groan's regi ment. One or two hundred are supposed to have escaped in another direction, and reached Mexico. The escaping and exasperated Texans of Green’s regiment assassinated Gea. Sibley and CoU Steele during the retreat, just before reaching El Paso. Theyalleged that the ruin of the nrigadc was attributable only to the drUukennoas mid Inefficiency of the leaders. These facts were published In the San Antonio Herald, . Green and his ISO men arrived in San Anto nio on the ISth of jane, having only thetrslde anna, and a few pack moles to carry provf slocs. This remnant of h!s regiment was about to be sent to the interior ot Che State to be filled up again. - The federal forces, immediately after- the fight, took possession of Ei Psso and Fort Blits, which Is near by, and sent a detach ment to Camp Quitman, eighty miles east of El Faso.; Thereupon the Texans evacuated Fort Dalis, 200 miles east of El Paso, and all the other forts in the extreme northwest of the S’cte, Fert Clark, 130 miles from San Antonio, now being the nearest fort to El Psso held by the Texans. AB’able-bodied men between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five are ordered into camptof Infraction. ■fnbsey*a brigade was the great effort of Texas, sad contained the beet fighting mate rial in the whole State.' Great things were ex pected of It, but U has fadedaa signally at it deserved. The fate oi the leaders maybe re garded as a precedent of what will haopru to the yreat leaders of the rebellion, when thole deluded people corns to their senses.

[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] WasuixgToh, Sept. 21, tstt. The Harper’s Perry matter isge‘t:og into a worse and worse muddle. It Is now seated m the most positive manner thit Miles or- dered Ford to abandon Maryland Sights three times before ho obeyed The order. If this can he shown, it will of course par-idle, at least, relieve I ? ord from the ternbls oaium order which he has been resting. The darkest suspicions ars freidy expressed with regard to Miles and the men who were most earnest in endeavoring to palluie h*s misconduct at Bull Run. They say they have no defense to set np for his memory. The feeling with regard to the late engage- ment Is far less buoyant than when the oiflctal dispatch came Id. It becomes to be thought that however brilliant oar victory. Us results are disproportionately small, composed with the cost at which It has been pur chased. There la no longer any donht that the rebels have transferred their whole force on the Virginia side In the face of McClellan's victorious army, without loss of baggage or artillery, snd without leaving more than SOff c r 4&0 ot their wounded. Not only so, ha*. they now seem to have taken a strong posi tion on the Virginia side of the Potomac, acd so far from being in wild disorder and confu- sion, appear determined to hold their gronid and dispute our crossing. Some six hundred wounded from the Ma- ryland battles arrived here this afterooon, in clndicg a large cumber of Western troops; 350 w ere placed ia the rotunda of the Senate cham ber and passages of the capUol. The rest were put in the upper story of the patent office. A considerable number of rebel wounded are included among them. Taey receive pre cisely the same treatment and attentions as the rest The hospital arrangements in the capital are admirable, and the poor fellows there could scarcely be more comfortably cared for at home. Among them there are many from the 23d Ohio, and from Indiana regiments. [Special Dlspstchto the Chicago Tribune.] Washington, Sept 21,1853. It turns out that General Meagher Is not wounded. His horse was shot, aud fell on him, stunning him for a time. He was carried off the field on a litter,' which' gave rise to a report of Ms being wounded. The rebel cavalry, after Wednesday’s fight, retreated by the Hagerstown roid-Tha infantry crot scd at Sheppard’s Ferry,and was on a train at Williamsport. The latter was only guard ed by a few men, and could easily have been captured. Richardson was severely, if not mortally, wounded by aball in the shoulder. Hta phy sicians pronounce bis case hopeless. Several ©f General Hooker’s staff have arrived in this city, accompanying their general, who was sent to the residence of bis friend, Dr. Nichols, la the outskirts of the city. They say that on the right where Booker and Sumner fought the carnage was terrible. They insist too that ihe rebels lost far more than we did on that portion of the field. The rebels certainly lost, more than we did as is shown by the num bers cl each side actually lying on the field. As accounts of the battle come in the gal lantry of the raw recruits become more - and more conspicuous. All bear testimony to their having fought with the steadiness of veterans. Large numbers of new troops are reported ready in all quarters, as soon as the government is ready to famish them arms. Friends of soldiers inSigel’s command need be in no uneasiness about them. They have not been In the late battles, nor anywhere near them, they being reserved by the go/- enmunt for other duties. Gen. Hunter is yet without a command. His friends ore urging that he should be per mitted to have, a command sufficiently inde pendent to enable him to hunt down Stone wall Jackson. Parlies here are strongly urging the ap pointment of Brig. Gen. Thos. A- Mori.s, of Indianapolis, to a major generalship, to take command in Kentucky. Morris, however, declines doing anything in the matter him self but nevermdess there appears some prcsj ect of bis appointment. Reynolds, of Indiana, formerly commandant at Ciea- Mountain, is alfo talked of in govemae.it circles as a good man for the crisis in Ken tucky. Philadelphia, Sept. -o.—The Inquirer has the following: * Frederick, Sept. 20.—1 am just from the front of our army. The rebels succeeded in crossing their entire army at Blackford, three miles east of Sbarpsbnrg, between 9 o’clock Thursday night and daybreik on Friday. This morning we were engaged in shelling the woods on the opposite bank preparatory to crossing. The rebels planted batteries at Williamsport, opposite, to prevent the right of our army from crossing. The woods are lined with guns, haversacks, blankets, Ac., of rebels. We caused great slaughter among them. PniiADELPniA, B<>pt. 20.—From a dispatch by mail, dated Antletam, battlefield, Wednes day, Bp. m., we glean the following additional partlcnUrs: McClellan rode along the hoe, and was most vociferously cheered, which at tracted the attention of the rebels, when they commenced throwing shells, some of which fell In the ranks of the 12Sth Pennsylvania. They began to full back. McClellan himself rallied them. They soon regained their for mer steadiness. No prisoners were taken from ns by the rebels. One Georgia regiment was captured entire. The total number of rebels captured was 1,200. One piece of woods, alter being desperately fought for for hour?, was carried- by onr troops. It con tained 1,500 dead of both sides. Generals Meagher, Weber, and Dons were wounded.' The Washington Star of this evening says a reconnotssance was made last night by * part of Stoneman’s force to Harper’s Ferry. They found only 600 sick and wounded rebels. They learned that the rebels had been cross ing the river above Harper’s Ferry into ViP: glnla nearly all day yesterday.

They decided to cross the river, aa they were in nb condition to fight another battle such as the 17th. They crossed the river at different points In the vicinity of Sbarpsburg. Several lords are within two miles of that, | although to'the contrary was represented. , Our cavalry started in pursuit as soon as the retreat was known. Beyond capturing a fev hundred stragglers, they inflicted little injury upon the enemy. About a mile from the river quite a contest took place between Porter’s corps, which was iuadvance, and the enemy, for the possession ot two guns. .The enemy were finally com pelled to abandon them, one of which they spiked. ' • Their trains; all got oft They seemed to have taken possession on the other side, bnt did not reply to'our guns, this afternoon, with the exception of .three or fonr shots.

The occupation cf the Virginia shore was attempted again this morning. Acting Brig adier General Barnes, with, his own, and a portion ot Sykes’ brigade, some cavalry, and two batteries crossed and took position on the Virginia shore. Shortly after the troops had been placed in position the enemy emerged with a line of infantry a mile long. The troops were soon engaged, when an order. was given to retire, which was done in good order. The enemy followed closely. When the enemy came within range a fire' was opened trom twenty pieces of our artillery which were posted on the Maryland bank, *ith such effect that they were obliged to retire. Their loss must have been heavy, as the explosion of oar shells was seen to make large paps In their lines. Our loss in killed, wounded and prisoners, is about 150. Information was received to-day of the evacuation of Harpers.Ferry. Tneir artillery wa? removed trom the line of the Potomac last night.

HSFOETANT FROM THE MISSIS- Sim [From the K. T. Evening Post; ISth.] The steamer Ocean Queen, from New Or leans September lOtfa,and Pensacola Septem ber 13th, arrived at New York on the Ifith Inst., bringing Important news. The 2kaa ol September 9th gives foil par ticulars of two battles by bj the iron-clad imobntt Eu»t. t)LA d»*bnMinn txi H»nn g«M and the bombardment and captain o i the city of Natchez. The United States Iron-chd steamer Essex, Commodore W. D. Porter, arrived from np the river yesterday. We have some very im portant and Interesting news by this arrival, comprising some of the acts and doings of this monster iron ship with iron hearts. About a week (more or less) ago, as the Es sex was crnlilng along in the river, the look out reported the rebel gunboat William H. Webb in sight. Chase was given imme diately, and she was pursued past the guns at Vicksburg. The Essex then started down the river, and on reaching Natchez, sent a boat’s crew ashore for Ice. The boat, on nearing shore, was fired into by the rebels and several of the crew wounded. For this act of temerity the whole shooting force of the Essex was brought to bear upon toe ill fated city forabout two hours and a half; when a deputation was sent .down with a proposi tion to surrender the city and hoist tap Stars and Stripes.- Commodore Porter then order ed the fixieg to cease, and proceeded down the river until off Bayou Sara, where he came to a stop lorg enough to bum that ill-lsted abode of rebels. There'were but two houses left standing—one belonging to a gentleman who is said to be friendly to the Union cause, and the other the property of a lady. We did not leant what Insult was the immediate c-u=e of this Tisltationcf vengeance.' On Sunday; as the Essex was coming down the river, a rebel battery of thirty-four guns, opposite Fort Hudson, opened upon her, and a fierce battle at net more than eighty feet dis tance. began, which lasted an "hour. At the end of that time the battery was silenced and the steamer passed on down. The rebel battery was mounted with guns of a very heavy calibre; but that circum stance only sufficed to prove the remarkable powers of resistance of the Essex. Her iron sides were struck in a multitude' of places with 10-lcch and other rized balls, the result in all case? bvlrgthe same—a slight indenta tion into the tddts of the steamer, andth?u the balls breaking into a thousand fragments and falling harmlessly into the water. The Essex commenced with the upper igun, and silenced 1 bem all, one after the other. - S ne.is truly a formidable craft, and comes fully up to the most sanguine expectations ot her de signer acd builder, who, our -readers will recollect, IsConicodorePorter himself.' C.r udiily nothing the people of Nev Orleans have ever seen in the shape of au “ Iron-clad” can compare with the Essex. In the contest with the battery at Port Hud son, the smoke pipes and the ventilator were perforated in numerous plac s, and present something the appearance of being rn<i-eaten. - It was impossible to ascertain what the loss of the rebels was, as those engaged on the Essex were too Well protected by iron armor to permit their seeing ashore; but as the action was at very close quariers, the loss on shore must have been heavy. There was no casualty on the steamer. The names of Porter and Essex have already passed into history in a former generation, and the exploits of ih* gvJl in*. old frigate in - the waters of the Pacific have been the ani mated theme of discourse around millions of American hearthstone*. This generation can now, too, boast of a Porter, the son of the gallant sailor wh« s»Vd so mnch lustre upon the United States Navy; and the Essex, too, craft of his own invention, named after the famous cruiser, and like her distinguished f>r being almost without a rival in heriiae of ser vice.
