, or a determined contest until they were silenced, and a passage forced through to the army of Gen Pope. Gen. Bragg, who is in command, has great confidence in his engineering skill, and will, nfrom their supplies by river, but both have about equal facilities of communication by land. General Pope has no other method than to transport his stores, ammunition, and reinforcements from Bird's 's Landing, where some of his gunboats and transports are awaiting. It will be impossible for Gen. Pope to push his light siege guns any farther down the west bank of the river than the Confederatescross the peninsula on the western side of the river, designed to rent river transportation to Gen. Pope. The truthful arises and scouts have long since done that.--Advantage has been taken of the hsteamer and several barges is matter of conjecture. It is generally thought, of course, that General Pope will, with the help of barges, move his army across the river and thus cut to the rear of the

of their guns upon the town. They state that their force on this bill numbers three thousand, but our informant does not think that they exceed fifteen hundred or two thousand at most. Since their return to Winchester, after the retreat of Banks, the Yankees have been decidedly cautions in all their movements, and manifest the greatest uneasiness in all their actions. They seem to dread the approach of Jackson and his forces, and are at all times prepared to skedaddle. The appointment of Pope had failed to lull their apprehensions. The force now in the vicinity of the town is understood to be a portion of the command of the reckless and unprincipled Geary. On Tuesday evening last there was a fight at Middletown, on the Valley turnpike, about eight miles from Winchester, between our cavalry scouts and the pickets of the enemy, in which they sustained a loss of eight killed and wounded. The only loss suffered on our side was the wounding of a horse. This little skirmish had g

the Shenandoah Valley, is again freely circulated this afternoon. A gentleman who came from Winchester last night states that the rebels in that vicinity are sanguine that Stonewall Jackson will pay them another visit before the week is out.--Gen. Pope has made all the necessary arrangements to receive him. His address to his army, which is published to-day, shows that he is determined to do just exactly what he says. Gen.

An English officer, who has been sojourning here for some weeks, stated, this afternoon, in the rotunda of the Capitol, that England would recognize the Southern Confederacy before the first of September, unless, in the meantime, our army captured Richmond. He regarded Gen. McClellan's recent movements as a virtual defeat, and said that he had exposed his weakness to the rebels, and that his Government would so understand it. Thi

McClellan at Fredericksburg. Our latest advices leave no doubt of the fact that the young Napoleon of the Federal army has again "changed his base," and is now prepared with his grand army to co- operate with the forces of Pope along the line of the Rappahannock. The reports that have been industriously circulated that he was evacuating the Peninsula, are at length confirmed, and there seems to be no longer any doubt that he has swung round to Fredericksburg to act in conjunction with the the line of the Rappahannock. The reports that have been industriously circulated that he was evacuating the Peninsula, are at length confirmed, and there seems to be no longer any doubt that he has swung round to Fredericksburg to act in conjunction with the Federal forces in that locality for the defence of Washington. Intelligence from Fredericksburg states that he arrived there on Friday, whether to assume command of the enemy's forces, or to play second to his rival Pope, is not known.

ulars.[Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Camp in Orange County, Aug. 14, 1862. On Thursday last, the long desired order to move in the direction of Pope's army came and was hailed with pleasure. We bivouacked that night near quite a nest of Yankees, who next morning at an early hour, "skedaddled" in the most approved fashion, illustrating beautifully Gen. Pope's complacent and grandiloquent remark that there must be no more falling back. All along our route Friday, we had evidences of their hasty retreat.--They were, however, not fast enough to prevent our cavalry from making a brilliant skirmish, killing eight and capturing fifteen. Amon took about 500 prisoners, including a General and many officers of rank. The faces of some of these suffered considerable elongation at hearing the fate to which Pope's infamous order had consigned them. The enemy were not expecting this onslaught of old Jack. On the contrary, they counted on at least a month of security in
