Warren, of Gen. Sykes's, and to General Abercrombie, in Gen. Couch's. At this moment Gen. Sickles's brigade came up, proffered by Gen. Heintzelman, and was received by Gen. Porter, and conducted to a point a little neglected. The engagement now became a scene of madness — a force of thirty thousand contending against fully three times their own number, plunging in with rapid charges and deafening shouts, and successfully driving them from the field. A brilliant charge of the New York Forty- fourth, under Col. Rice, captured a Secesh flag, with the motto "Seven Pines." Our troops were in no condition to follow the enemy beyond

A letter from Parnestown, Md., on the upper Potomac, dated to-day, says: Early yesterday morning from 200 to 500 rebel cavalry, said to be a portion of White's command, crossed the Potomac between Watt's branch and Muddy creek, and started towards the cross-roads, two miles from the river, where there had been a rendezvous of Scott's Nine Hundred. Gen. Heintzelman, who had arrived there on a tour of inspection, pursued them up the tow-path of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, pressing them so hard that they were compelled to recross the river below Edwards's Ferry. Miscellaneous. The Yankees have dates from Charleston to the 15th inst. One of their rumors is that the city had been destroyed after three days shelling.

from his front Saturday afternoon, towards Smithfield, and that it was probable they were abandoning the Shenandoah Valley. General Sheridan says that he captured one hundred prisoners and killed and wounded one hundred and fifty of the enemy, facts which would indicate that there was a severe fight as the rebels were retreating. Stanton, in a dispatch to Dix, dated 29th of August, says: The latest intelligence from the Shenandoah Valley represents that a large part of the rebel force there has been withdrawn to Richmond. The latest reports from General Sherman represent that thus far his recent movement to occupy the rebel lines of supply has been successful. Miscellaneous.

Governor Morton made an address in Indianapolis, August 22d, in which he discussed at length the recent development regarding the alleged conspiracy and the finding of arms, ammunition, &c. He says: For eighteen mont
