No confirmation of the report has, however, reached here. The natives around here are in high glee at the near approech of the Southern army, and bons loudly of the «peedy fall of Washington and the Stste of Maryland into Jeff Davis’ hands.

We btve ii following information as to the rebeb army on the Rappahannock : ‘Dur informant, a man of good judgment, and who saw the enemy’s forces cross from the Rap- idan to the Rappzbannock, estimates that the whole Confederate army opposed to Pope js under 100,000. He was surprised, however, by the ex- tent of their artillery and transportation and the Sentral good condition of the troops. Our informant overheard the Confederate of- ficers expresting much vexatlon that Pope escaped them They sald that but for e:me misunder- standing ebout orders they would have nabbed him, and that they owght on Sunday to hare been cohere they were om Tuesday. Pope's activity in evading them caused their plan to turn out a fal!- ure finally. In the opinion of our informant, Jackson has quietly slipped away to some new field of opera- tions, and the demonstrations made by the Con- federates along the Rappahannock within the last few days bave been mere feints to “ amuee”’ us while he steals off to strike an unexpected blow There bas been no firing alnce Saturdsy night, when there was some cannoneding between Sigel and the enemy at Waterioo, on the Rappahan- neck, near the White Sulphur Springs. Since then the enemy has been suspiciously quiet, and are quite evidently at seme new echeme of mis- chief.

Tuursvar, Aug. 21—Tals trorning, at an early hour, the rebels pened a battery upon the 3d Maryiand teo‘ment, stationed at a ford three miles up tha river, aud soon caused them to re- trea®, ‘fhey had two mea killed and several wounded. “Ata Iter hour, about 12 m., a squad- ron of cavalry crossed ‘he river, about one mile still further on our right, and an infantry oH a attempted to cross at about the same time. The cavalry charged upon a company of Indiana troops, commanded by Cept. Wocd, und were repulsed. A battery soon caused the rebel in- fantry to retreat, and the peed soon afer fol- lowed in most admirable disorde Capt W od captured one of the cavalry officers (@ captain) and several privates. At about tais time the rebels opened with artillery along the line for five or six miles, and a bri-k artillery duel was kept up fer several hours—from 11 until about 2 o’clock p m —and at Intervals through- out the whole day.

At the extreme left of our line—six miles below the bridge—'be enemy succeeded la getting cver tbe river a considereble force, who were met by General Buford’s cavalry, and some brisk tybting followed, lasting several bcou with exactly What reauit, however, cannot at t time be uscertained. ‘The loss on both sides must have been large. This movement on the pert of the rebels nececeitated the movement of cur campe on the left, and two hospital tents, containiag 20 patients, were left to the tender mercies of the foe.

Senator S.C. Pomeroy bas, by request of the President, consented to organize emigration pat- ties of free colored persons for settlement in Cen- tral America, and ben commissioned accord- ingly. This gentleman’s former success in or- ganiring emigrant expeditions for the settlement of Kansas and Colorado sffords 2 guzranty of a happy consummation of his present plans. The government propotes to send out the emigrants in good steamships; and provide them all neces- sary implements of labof, and also sustenance until they can gather a harvest The following addrese, preprred by Senator Pom:roy, has Leen sanctioned by the President : TO THR FREE COLORED PEOPLE OF THE UNITED ATES. The hour hes now TFrrivea in the history of your settlement upon this continent when it is within your own power to take one step that will secure, If suc 1, the elevation, freedom and social position of your race upon the American continent. The President of the United States has already signified his desire to carry out fully, in the letter and spirit of the late act of Congress, the desire of the national Legislature which made an ap Propriation to facilitate your emigration and settlement in some favorable locality outside of toese States. And at his request I bave consented and agreed with bim to aid you in organizin; th's emigration, and in selecting a locality tha’ wiil be vaiuable and attractive to your people in itself, as well as owe promise to you and us that it shall be a suitable location for a great, free and Prosperous people. I now address you as one awake to this mo- mentous revolution in American history; alive also to your interests in this conflict of arms, wherevy you are led to hope that in thus unset- tling established institutions yeur people may go free. This, then, is the bourfor you to make one earnest effort to secure your own social ition und independente, by co-operating with those who now reach out their hands to aid you. I ask you to do this by the pride you may have to make another exhibition to the world of the valor, heroism and Virtue of the colored race; by the love you may have for your straggling and op- reased peopie now amon; es well as by the opes you may indulge ‘ing smocth and presperous the pathway of coming generations. I propose on the first day of October next to take with ms 100 colored men as pioneers in this movement, who, with their families, may equal the number of five hundred sou!s, and for whose benefit the appropriations in the acts of Congress referred to were made The President will pro- vide for us the means of transporiaticn and the rotection of the settlement. Being familiar with The organizing and settling of the early emigra- tlonto my own State, (Kansas,) I will indulge the hope that my experience may be made ser- viceabie to you. Iam in earnest for the welfare of your poopie, present and prospective. I want you to consider this as an auspicious period for ‘ou If this travail and pain of the nation becomes the birthday of your freedom, let us plant you free and independent beyond the reach of the power that has oppressed you. Consider this us an opening by the wisdom of Divine Providence, when you are called of God to go with me toa country which your oppressed peeple are soon to receive for their inheritance.
