diers, we have yet other work before us. Be ready. Strike hard and spare not. By order, A. N. Duffie, Colonel Commanding. Washington Star account. Washington, August 11, 1862. The editor of the Star, who was on a visit to his family at Culpeper Court-House at the time of the battle, gives the following account of it: On Friday morning last, Gen. Pope, staff, and escort reached Culpeper Court-House, from his last encampment, near Washington, the county-2seat of Rappahannock, having put the corps d'armee of Gen. Banks, encamped there, in motion, in the direction of Culpeper, and passing the encampment of Gen. Sigel, at Sperryville, twentyn the field, that instead of seeking thus to renew the engagement, the rebels were either seeking a new position in the rear or skedaddling. Since we reached Washington General Pope has telegraphed here that the engagement was not renewed yesterday afternoon; that the enemy have retired to a position two miles back, and that he

e enemy fled from the field, leaving many of his dead unburied, and his wounded on the ground and along the road to Orange Court-House, as will be seen from Gen. Buford's despatch. A cavalry and artillery force under Gen. Buford was immediately thro camp at Culpeper for all the forces forming the corps of Major-General Banks to instantly advance on the road leading to Orange, Gen. Williams's division being already in advance. This division came upon the enemy stationed in position at what is ks commenced, said all around me. In a few moments I was in my saddle, and off for the field of battle. Upon reaching the Orange road, I found the corps of Gen. Banks in motion. Gen. Williams led, and Gen. Augur followed immediately after. The firield were eight or ten batteries, apparently doing nothing but moving backward and forward over a hill to the right of the Orange road. Why only four batteries were left to fight against seven, when so many more were within so short a distance, your

d Madison Court-House. I had established my whole force on the turnpike between Culpeper and Sperryville, ready to concentrate at either place as soon as the enemy's plans were developed. Early oe move on Madison Court-House was merely a feint, to deceive the army corps of Gen. Sigel, at Sperryville, and that the main attack of the enemy would be at Culpeper, to which place I had thrown forw there, in motion, in the direction of Culpeper, and passing the encampment of Gen. Sigel, at Sperryville, twenty miles from Culpeper Court-House, by the way. At Culpeper Court-House Gen. Pope found ediately in the rear of Crawford. Major-Gen. Sigel was also at the same time ordered up from Sperryville, and by a forced march of twenty miles his advance reached the village by daylight. Througo relate. Last Friday evening a horse came dashing up to the headquarters of Gen. Sigel at Sperryville, covered with foam, and its rider black with dust. The rider brought a message from Gen. Pop

General Pope's report. headquarters army of Virginia, Cedar Mountain, August 13-5 P. M. To Major-General Halleck, Commander-in-Chief: on Thursday morning the enemy crossed the Rapidan at Barnet's Ford in heavy force, and advanced strong on the road to Culpeper and Madison Court-House. I had established my whole force on the turnpike between Culpeper and Sperryville, ready to concentrate at either place as soon as the enemy's plans were developed. Early on Friday it became apparent that the move on Madison Court-House was merely a feint, to deceive the army corps of Gen. Sigel, at Sperryville, and that the main attack of the enemy would be at Culpeper, to which place I had thrown forward part of Banks's and McDowell's corps. Brig.-Gen. Bayard, with part of the rear of McDowell's corps, who was in the advance near the Rapidan

y, reported them filing in force in both those directions, as though aiming to flank us on both sides. General Pope immediately despatched Tower's division of McDowell's corps to follow, watch and confront them on the right, and a division of Sigel's corps d'armee--whose we did not learn — to do the same for those moving on the left. General Bayard, with two regiments of his cavalry brigade, from New-Jersey and Pennsylvania, was thrown in advance of Tower, and the gallant and efficient Colonel Duffle, of Bayard's command, with his own Rhode Island and the First Maine cavalry, was thrown in the advance of our division of observation on the left. At eleven A. M. it was definitely ascertained from reports from these forces that the purpose of the enemy could hardly be flank movements. Ere two P. M., the impression became general at Gen. Pope's headquarters on the field, that instead of seeking thus to renew the engagement, the rebels were either seeking a new position in the rear or

ion as briefly as a double-quick movement could carry me. I led into action the Second Massachusetts regiment. Colonel G. L. Andrews; Third Wisconsin regiment, Colonel Ruger; and the Twenty-seventh Indiana regiment, Colonel Colgrove. I should state that five companies of the Third Wisconsin regiment, previously deployed as skirmisrdered by you to join General Crawford's command, which after engaging the enemy with much gallantry, had been compelled to retire. I arrived in the timber as Colonel Ruger was rallying his men, and added them to my command. The enemy were posted in the edge of the woods, on the opposite side of a newly-mown wheat-field — distanc of our line of battle until near day-light. In conclusion, I ought — as I thus do — to mention the names of Colonel Andrews, Second Massachusetts regiment; Colonel Ruger, Third Wisconsin regiment; and Colonel Colgrove, Twenty-seventh Indiana regiment, as deserving praise for gallant conduct. I by no means limit my commendation<

officers it devolves upon your correspondent to relate. Last Friday evening a horse came dashing up to the headquarters of Gen. Sigel at Sperryville, covered with foam, and its rider black with dust. The rider brought a message from Gen. Pope at Culpeper announcing the approach of Jackson in that direction, and also an order to have his corps d'armee on the march within an hour. At the expiration of the hour the entire body was in motion. The division of Gen. Schenck led, that of Gen. Schurz followed. General Schenck had been ill several days, but the order to march reached him so that he was able to take the saddle and lead his men. At Hazel River the column halted for the night. In the morning, learning that the corps would not move in several hours, your correspondent left it, and set out for Culpeper alone, reaching that point at half-past 10 A. M. Upon arriving there, the army, gathering from different directions, was in a great state of excitement. Jackson had been d
