R. E. Lee (search for this): article 2
General Lee injured. General R. E. Lee was accidentally injured a few days ago by his horse. He was holding his horse, when he became frightened and jerking suddenly, threw him to the ground, breaking one of the bones in his left hand and spraining the right wrist. His injuries are painful, though not serious enough to detain him from duty in the field.

from the above dispatch from General Pope. The only possible line of even temporary retreat for Jackson, that we can perceive, is over the Warrenton turnpike towards the Rappahannock; as McDowell and Sigel are probably between him and Thoroughfare Gap, through which he would be compelled to go if seeking to proceed east. Fitz John Porter's command, which embraces some of those recently with Burnside, is very strong, we take it. By to-morrow morning, as slowly as he may be moving, Franklin ought to be within supporting distance of Pope with a large force — sufficient with Fitz John Porter's, to make mince meat of any possible reinforcement the enemy may get. On the whole, as we stated a day or two since, the prospect now is rendered doubly sure that there will soon be few rebels in arms in Virginia. P. S.--At 12,30 p. m., the firing stopped, we learn from parties just down from Fairfax county. We trust the fact means a surrender of the rebels, and do not see how it

The late battles. The following intelligence is the latest we have been able to see. The first letter is from General lee to President Davis: Headq'rs Army Northwestern Virginia,Chantilly, 3d September, 1862. His Excellency, Jefferson Davis, President Confederate States of America: Mr. President: My letter of the 30th ult. will have informed your Excellency of the progress of this army to that date. General Longstreet's division, having arrived the day previous, was formed in order of battle on the right of General Jackson, who had been engaged with the enemy since morning. resisting an attack commenced on the 28th. The enemy, on the latter day was vigorously repulsed, leaving his numerous dead and wounded on the field. His attack on the morning of the 29th was feeble, but became warmer in the afternoon, when he was again repulsed by both wings of the army. His loss on this day, as stated in his published report, herewith enclosed, amounted to 8,000 in killed an

ut slight loss on both sides. Major General Kearney was left by the enemy dead on the field. During the night the enemy fell back to Fairfax C. H., and abandoned his position at Centreville. Yesterday about noon he evacuated Fairfax C. H.; taking the roads as reported to me to Alexandria and Washington. I have, as yet, been unable to get official reports of our loss or captures in these various engagements. Many gallant officers have been killed or wounded. Of the General officers, Ewell, Trimble, Taliaferro, Fields, Jenkins, and Mahone, have been reported wounded. Cols. Means, Marshall, Baylor, Neff, and Gadberry, killed. About 7,000 prisoners have already been paroled, about the same number of small arms collected from the field, and thirty pieces of cannon captured, besides a number of wagons, ambulances, &c. A large number of arms still remain on the ground. For want of transportation valuable stores had to be destroyed as captured, while the enemy, at their various d

Saturday, when we found ourselves upon the battle-field of the day beft of the woods upon our left and advanced in very good order for the purpose of driving out our pickets and take our batteries on the left flank. In an instant, Col. Lee, always cool. and self-possessed, ordered every howitzer to the left, and then such a blaze of artillery as I never heard. The guns, from the nature of the gro.

The enemy is still in our front, but badly used up. We have lost not less We have positive information that Pope came up with and attacked the enemy again a few minutes past 9 this morning. Fitz John Porter by that time had probably arrived on the field, from Manassas, seven miles off only.
