ve battle, the result of which has been adverse to them. The Sixth corps has been ordered on the same evening toward Chantilly by Meade, who still fears to be cut off. The main body of the army has reached Centreville before night, except the Fifnd are thus greatly exposed. This time Meade has resolved to await his adversary in the position he has chosen between Chantilly, Centreville, and Blackburn's Ford. But Lee discovers that it is too strong to attack. The march which has brought ng for his right wing, he brings it back toward the Potomac. The Third corps is bivouacking at Fairfax Court-house and Chantilly, where its former commander, General Sickles, mutilated and scarcely restored to health, comes to claim in vain the command of the soldiers whose love he has won. The Sixth corps extends itself on the right from Chantilly to Frying Pan. The immense train, whose march was retarded on the 14th, is nearing Bull Run under Buford's guard. Meanwhile, alarm reigns agai

to remain in the service of his master. --Complaint having been made to Gen. Abercrombie, the boy was immediately returned. The notorious Ceary hearing of the affair, and resolute in his determination to carry out his peculiar mode of war fare in regular and systematic thieving, sent a squad of men to demand the boy, who was ordered to take a favorite mare of Mr. B., and forced to accompany those who were robbing him of his protection and support, and his master of his property. At "Chantilly," the beautiful country seat of Tupperville Stewart, Esq., in Fairfax county, they seized all the furniture, stock, &c., and a few days ago offered it at public auction. For the past two weeks parties have been going round to the houses of those who are engaged in the Confederate service and assessing the household and other personal property preparatory to offering it at public sale. All such effects they designate as "deserted property," and appropriate to the use of the Federal army.

ty days. With all this enormous force to back any enterprise, and with so little yet done, we had supposed the Yankee Secretary would say as little as might be of Yankee valor. Yet he commends the bravery and discipline of his troops, and the skill of their officers, calling to witness York, where Magruder, with 8,000 men, brought 120,000 of them to a halt, Williamsburg, where half the army was beaten by Longstreet's division, Fair Case, Gaines's Mill, Malvern Hill, Cross Keys, Cedar Run, Chantilly, &c., in even one of which they were routed by the Confederates, and, in consequence, were driven from before Richmond, out of Northern Virginia, and into Washington. Truly, Yankee impudence is a marvellous quality. It glories in its own shame, and boasts even of its own defeats. --The next time we defeat the Yankees, which will be the next time our troops meet theirs, we shall hear them ascribing their defeat to overwhelming numbers. They will have forgotten all their Secretary says no

ryland, and Delaware, and the Department of Virginia, has been the scene of important military operations, and although these operations have not equalled in their results the expectations of the Government and the public hope, still they have not been unproductive of good results. He alludes to the valor displayed by the Federal troops, and the skill evinced by their officers in the engagements at Yorktown, Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Gaines's Mill, Malvern Hill, Cross Keys, Cedar Mountain, Chantilly, and other places, but omits to inform the Yankee public that in each of these engagements, the troops so much landed were signally defeated. He felicitates the whole Yankee nation that the invading army which recently threatened the capital and the borders of Maryland and Pennsylvania has been driven back beyond the Rappahannock; that Norfolk is still in their possession; that Suffolk and Yorktown are yet held; and that a strong army corps, under its vigilant and efficient commander, Maj

The New York Herald, in its "Situation" article of the 27th ult., says: The rebels are actively engaged in making raids on the north side of the Rappehannock. It is said that on the night of the 25th the picket guard on the Chantilly road out from Centreville was pounced upon and all but one captured by a hundred rebels after firing two rounds. It also says that on the same night a party crossed at Kelly's mill and threatened Stafford Court-House; that quite a large body occupy Warrenton, and that Stonewall Jackson is pushing up the Valley towards Strasburg. Gen. Hunter, in South Carolinas, has peremptorily ordered the staff of Gen. Foster to leave his department and proceed North by the first steamer. He ha

esday last near Bristow Station, reached this city last night, and were committed to the Old Capitol. From information received from the Army of the Potomac to-night, it appears that a body of the enemy were seen passing southward, opposite Blackburn's Ford, last night, and our batteries shelled them. They replied for half an hour and then disappeared. They made no other demonstration yesterday. It was rumored that one corps of the enemy was approaching Fairfax yesterday by the Chantilly road, and our heavy batteries were sent out in that direction. They have returned, and report all quiet. Our army is in a perfectly safe position, and prepared to repel any attack. The following is Meade's "congratulatory order" to his troops: General Order:--The Major-General Commanding announces to the army that the rear guard, consisting of the 2d corps, was attacked yesterday while marching by the flank. The enemy, after a spirited contest, was repulsed, losing a ba
