t attacked by guerrillas. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press writes, August 27th: As Mr. Zeigler and his companions were proceeding towards Washington today, with the body of Gen. Bohlen, they were attacked by guerrillas, and forced to abandon the remains, and take to the woods, where they stayed for a long time, the rebel sentries being in sight. They finally made their escape with great difficulty under cover of darkness to-night. Miscellaneous. The Jews of Syracuse, N. Y., have subscribed $2,200 to aid the 4th Cuondaga regiment. By the new Congressional appointment on the census of 1860, the States "now in rebellion" have lost five members of the House of Representatives. A steamboat collision occurred near Helena, Ark., on the 21st ult., causing a loss of thirty lives. Mrs. Robert Dale Owen was among the drowned. Among the passengers by the Tentoria were Edwin Booth and wife. On the 24th instant over 1,200 Confederate prisoners were

ville, and driven them back to Manassas. General Pope is beyond Manassas, cut off from Washington. Gen. Burnside and Gen. Porter's corps had landed at Aquia creek. It is also said that Gen. Ewell has penetrated to the rear of Gen. Pope, and occupies the left bank of the Occoquan river. A large force is marching company of the 12th Pennsylvania Cavalry, who protected their retreat.--They are now under the protection of the guns of the forts in front of Washington. Aquia creek is not taken by the enemy, as reported yesterday. Gen. Meagher came from there last night Gen. Burnside has been engaged for a day and a half in removing all the Government property from there, and in preparing the place for defence. He thinks he will be able to hold it. The only access to Gen. Pope, in the event of Aquia creek being taken, will be to fight a way up the Rappahannock with gunboats, and join him from Fredericksburg. We had 1,200 to 1800 sick and wounded at Falls Chur

battle of Cedar Mountain was fought.--You will bear in mind that Jackson continued to hold the field until Monday night; but on Tuesday morning he was gone, and, as our scouts brought in word that a large rebel army was at Gordonsville and Orange Court-House, it was believed that Jackson had retreated in that direction. But not so. Jackson had moved off through Madison Court-House, and the immense rebel forces at Gordonsville and Orange were the main army, under General Lee, who had arrived frOrange were the main army, under General Lee, who had arrived from Richmond. When Jackson left Cedar Mountain he proceeded immediately to Madison Court-House, where he rejoined Ewell. Then the reunited army marched to Luray, in the Shenandoah Valley, thence northward to Berry's ford, where he crossed, while Lee was keeping General Pope engaged in front. Lee's plan was to keep Pope between the Rapidan and the Rappahannock rivers until Jackson had attained his position at Manassas (or perhaps at Rappahannock bridge); but General Pope's retreat to the Ra

150 to 200 stragglers have escaped and come in up to this time Gen. Taylor, commanding the brigade, was seriously wounded, and his leg has since been amputated. At a little distance from the point where the New Jersey brigade was ambuscaded, the 11th and 12th Ohio regiments were met by another rebel force and badly cut up. Until dark last night the rebels had destroyed nothing upon the line of the railroad; but during the night they burned the bridges across the Accotink and at Pope's Head. The scouts reported some five hundred rebel cavalry on their way from Centreville to Fairfax Court-House. This statement has been verified from other reliable sources and official reports. Information has also been received that a force, estimated at six thousand rebels, last night occupied Vienna. And at Leesburg it is known also that during the night a rebel cavalry force entered Leesburg and made prisoners of a portion of Capt. Means's company of Union troops being rai
Harper's Ferry (West Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 4
nce the force of Wm. Fitz Hugh Lee moved on to Manassas the same night, Jackson following the next day, so that on last Wednesday evening we find forty thousand rebels in Gen. Pope's rear on the railroad, his supplies cut off, and he hemmed in by his foes on the front, rear, and flank. Not all, however, of Jackson's army are at Manassas, as a force, variously estimated at from five to ten thousand men, mostly or quite all cavalry, continued on down the Shenandoah in the direction of Harper's Ferry when Jackson moved toward Manassas. Of this force I learn but little since their departure from Berry's ford; but I am of opinion their design is to cross the Potomac into Maryland, or to divert attention from the more important fields of Virginia Already we hear of a rebel force being in the rear of Winchester and between that place and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and it is more than probable this is the first appearance in a new quarter of this offshoot of Jackson's army.

Madison Court-House, and the immense rebel forces at Gordonsville and Orange were the main army, under General Lee, who had arrived from Richmond. When Jackson left Cedar Mountain he proceeded immediately to Madison Court-House, where he rejoined Ewell. Then the reunited army marched to Luray, in the Shenandoah Valley, thence northward to Berry's ford, where he crossed, while Lee was keeping General Pope engaged in front. Lee's plan was to keep Pope between the Rapidan and the Rappahannock rivers until Jackson had attained his position at Manassas (or perhaps at Rappahannock bridge); but General Pope's retreat to the Rappahannock's north bank frustrated that design, and rendered it necessary for Lee to follow up his advantage, and, by a system of feints, to take General Pope's attention from his rear and divert it to his front. Gen. Jackson crossed the Shenandoah at Berry's Ford on Wednesday, 20th, and immediately started across towards Warrenton; but when he had proceede

enton Junction and Warrenton, and marched rapidly back, in three columns. I directed McDowell, with his own and Sigel's corps, to march upon Gainesville by the Warrenton and Alexandria pike; Reno and one division of Heintzelman to march on Greenwich; and, with Porter's corps and Hooker's division, I marched back to Manassas Junction. McDowell was ordered to interpose between the forces of the enemy which had passed down to Manassas through Gainesville and his main body, moving down from White Plains through Thoroughfare Gap. This was completely accomplished, Long-street, who had passed through the Gap, being driven back to the west side. The forces to Greenwich were designed to support McDowell in case he met too large a force of the enemy. The division of Hooker, marching to wards Manassas, came upon the enemy near Kettle Run, on the afternoon of the 27th, and, after a sharp action, routed them completely, killing and wounding 300, capturing camps and baggage, and m

The famous New York 7th regiment had broken up camp on Federal Hill, and gone home to New York. The draft in Pennsylvania and Maryland has been postponed until the 15th inst. Great "war meetings?" were held in New York and Boston on the 27th. At the former the 69th New York regiment were present, headed by Gen. Corcoran. They had been sent from Washington to create a sensation. In Boston speeches were made by Edward Everett, Robt. C. Winthrop, and other "patriots." The frigate "New Ironsides" has arrived at Fortress Monroe. Ex-Gov. Hicks, of Maryland, has joined a company as a private at Cambridge, Dorchester county, Md. D. A.

there is not improbable. We have information that the enemy was encamped some twenty or thirty thousand strong at Gainesville, near Manassas Junction, at 2 o'clock yesterday morning. A large portion of Taylor's New Jersey brigade was captun, and marched rapidly back, in three columns. I directed McDowell, with his own and Sigel's corps, to march upon Gainesville by the Warrenton and Alexandria pike; Reno and one division of Heintzelman to march on Greenwich; and, with Porter's ction. McDowell was ordered to interpose between the forces of the enemy which had passed down to Manassas through Gainesville and his main body, moving down from White Plains through Thoroughfare Gap. This was completely accomplished, Long-strre dispersed. Some of our scouts who ranged through the woods to ascertain the exact condition of affairs, saw at Gainesville, ten miles beyond Manassas, a rebel encampment which they estimated at from 20,000 to 30,000.

his retreat back to Gordonsville. Not so, however. These forces of Ewell we now find, to our surprise, were the main body of Jackson's army en route for the Shenandoah Valley. Jackson, with a force of 35,000 men, was to march via the Shenandoah river, to a point known as Berryville, or Berry's ford, some 28 miles northwest from Warrenton. Gen. Lee, with the bulk of the rebel army, was to take the front, left and right, and engage Gen. Pope at or near the Rapidan, while Jackson and Ewell were to cross the Shenandoah river and mountains, cut off his supplies by way of the railroad, and menace his rear. But when Jackson had reached Gordonsville and Madison Court-House, it was found that General Pope had penetrated further into Virginia than was expected. Gen. Lee, with the main army, had not yet come up, and it was feared that if Jackson continued on, as per programme, Gen. Pope would reach Gordonsville before Lee's arrival, and thus cut off his (Jackson's) supplies.
