ents of troops, and Wednesday morning Jackson's corps started in pursuit of the enemy. That day a brilliant cavalry skirmish occurred near Stevensburg, between the 6th and 7th Virginia, I hear, and four regiments of the enemy, whom our men charged successfully, repulsing them, killing and wounding several, taking 68 prisoners and a number of horses. with only a slight loss on our side. The enemy is now represented as rapidly retreating towards Manassas. A striking commentary on Mr. John Pope's vaunting proclamation! I have no fear that our Generals will allow him to slip around and attack Richmond for below, while we are watching up here. Our movement of last Saturday, like many others, was not understood even by our knowing ones in the army. If it was designed simply as defensive and to checkmate the enemy, it was eminently successful. If on the other hand, the plan was to attack the enemy unawares, it failed, for they were evidently on the qui vive, and the attack was no

Pope's New order. We publish to-day the new order of Gen. Pope, in which, after the fashion of his brother brute, Bailer, he undertakes to correct "misinterpretations," as he styles them, of his infamous order to seize the property of private citizens. We cannot see in the present proclamation anything but a diplomatic attempt to creep out of the odium and responsibility of his original decree, and even this is forced from him by the fear of retaliation.
