s, and about half way between the two stations halted for the night. Upon mustering his forces, Capt. Musser discovered that he had but two companies of the 105th Pennsylvania, numbering in all but 80 souls, to protect five hundred thousand dollars worth of property. Nothing remained for him to do but to arrange the empty cars, many of which were lying near the depot, in the form of barricades, and await the arrival of the rebel cavalcade. At half-past 8, just an hour after the engineer (Smalley) arrived, and notified him of his danger, the rebel host dashed in upon Capt. Musser and his little hand. But his numbers were too small; the cavalry came down upon him like a whirlwind, dismounted from their horses, and poured volley after volley through and around the barricade of cars, and when many of the little band behind them were killed and wounded, forced their way through, and took all who had escaped prisoners. Capt. S. C. Craig and Corp. Corcoran fell wounded at the commenceme

en until to-morrow. From other persons who escaped, I learn that brisk firing continued nearly all night; that toward morning the heavy roar of artillery was heard, and continued until a late hour in the day. The 1st New Jersey brigade, General Kearney, are reported to have engaged the enemy near Bull Run bridge, where a desperate struggle was maintained on our part to hold it, and on the rebels to destroy it. The bridge is still said to be in our possession, although the brigade of General Kearny is reported as having been terribly cut up. Fighting, also, was carried on with portions of the division of General Sturgis, and nine pieces of artillery are said to have been captured by the rebels. Accounts differ about the brigade from which these guns were taken, but all say that we lost at least a battery. Gen. Stuart is supposed to have got in the rear of Gen. Pope via Thoroughfare Gap. This raid is by far the boldest one of the war, but it is reported this evening that Stua

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. Mabeancy, of the Dubuque Herald, who was arrested for treason, was the Democratic candidate for Congress in the 3d Iowa district. The massacres by Indians in the West still continue. The St. Paul (Mina.) Press, of the 24th ult., says: A careful consideration so far forces the conviction of influence of white men at the bottom of the Indian massacre. For weeks past white men, chiefly Missourians, have been among them. The fact that remote tribes like the Yanktonias and Lantheads are movi

of his army. McClellan arrived in the Hudson this morning, and his headquarters, for a few days, will be at Fairfax Seminary. A Messenger from Minister Slidell. A private letter, (says the New York Tribune,) to a gentleman in this city asserts that Prince de Polignac, a relative of the Polignac who was Prime Minister under Charles X., has left Paris for Richmond with a mission of Mr. Sudell for Jeff. Davis. Prince de Polignac, it is well known, has been an Aide de Camp of Gen. Beauregard, whom he has served under in that capacity at Manassas and Shiloh. He left this country a little after that battle, and went back to Paris to meet Mr. Slidell, with whom he has hitherto remained, acting on various occasions as his confidential envoy and secretary.--The message which he brings now to Jeff. Davis is said to be of the highest importance. A funeral Escort attacked by guerrillas. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press writes, August 27th: As Mr. Zeigler an

ass and distract the General Government, by alarming it for the safety of the frontier, and requiring the retention here of a large number of troops who might otherwise be differently engaged. Federal account of Wednesday's fighting. The Washington Star, of the 28th, contains the following account of the fight the day before: It turns out that the cannonading heard nearly all day yesterday, by persons in Fairfax county, was that of an engagement between Scanion's brigade, of Gen. Cox's division, and a force of the rebels, considerably outnumbering them, at Bull Run, the contest being for the possession of the railroad bridge at that point. We believe that the rebels retained possession of it at nightfall, but have every reason to think that Scanion must have dislodged them from it at an early hour this morning. Last night he certainly expected to be able to do so. Our impression is that his loss throughout the day's skirmishing was inconsiderable. The main engag

hem off as if they were but wisps, and continued on to Manassas. Arriving there, Capt. Musser was immediately notified that the rebels were approaching, and with all the means at his disposal prepared to receive them. The 12th Pennsylvania, Colonel Pearce, which has been stationed at Manassas several months, doing guard duty for depots and trains, had that afternoon been ordered to join its brigade, and at 5 o'clock marched up the road leading to Bristow and Catlett's Stations, and about half concentrate at that point was destroyed in a few hours. The son of Capt. Musser, from whom I have this account, escaped with several others by fleecing to the woods and walking to Fairfax station. From a sutler of the 12th Pennsylvania, Colonel Pearce, I am informed that before the rebel cavalry reached Manassas they engaged that regiment and cut it all to pieces, killing four Captains, killing and wounding many others, and taking the rest prisoners. This statement must be taken with

ugust 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 released from Camp Chase, Ohio. There are 600 political prisoners there yet.

to have checked the advance of the rebels at Centreville, 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 to meet them, and to assist in opening a way to Gen. Pope and to Gen. Burnside. If the movement is successful, it will doubtless place the rebel army in a worse position than that which the main body of our troops in now in, as they can, if necessary, fall back to Fredericksbuon 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

rue, General Pope has changed front, and is trying to flank the enemy in the Northwest, while McClellan is coming upon them from the East. Evidently, as I write, a terrible battle is raging, and on its result must hinge this war. If we are successful, that part of the army under Jackson must be annihilated, and that under Lee defeated; and if we are not successful, and the rebels overpower us, God alone can foresee the future of the republic. But we are hopeful; for thank God and President Lincoln's backbone, McClellan is again at the head of the army, as the telegraph has already informed you. Excitement in Washington. Washington, Aug. 28. --This morning there was a great excitement, not only in military circles, but throughout the city, occasioned by the information that a large rebel force had been thrown between the army of General Pope and Washington. The facts, as ascertained from reliable sources, are as follows: On Wednesday night, as has been detailed
