While tbe Intelligencer and the Star, and their editors personally, have been the obj-cts of the bitterest abuse end denunciation by the Confederate press, it is doubtful {f a single individual in all Secessia is even aware of the existence of our feeble, snarl- ing neighbor. ete New Pusuicationx.—From the publishers, Blakeman & Mason, New York, through D. J. Bishop, 21% Pennsylvania avenue, we have ‘‘The Orpheus ©. Kerr Papers,’’ a collection of humor- ous sketches, (originally contributed to a New ‘York Sunday paper,) hitting off war matters and measures with a pretty free pen.

Here and in Alexandria thé confused elements ef the army are of course collected, and their presence in numbers In these cittes Induces the uaprefessional man who does not see the mass of the ermy,which is !a good condition, to imagine, aly, that they are fair examples of the wate of the whole force. Large numbere of veteran troops from the ’enir.~ sula continue to land among us, and are hourly pass! ny our streets and those of Alexandria, to the varicus pesitions asslgned to them by order of Gen. McCiclian. In the meanwhile the in- fantry of the enemy secm entirely to have disap- peated from our immediate front. A band of eleven hundred paroled Union pris- oners arrived Lere last night from Fairfax Court Horse, whither they were brought yesterday by a detachment of Stuart's cavalry, and turned lose te find their way into our lines as best they could. Quite as many Union stragglers passed the bridge intermixed with them, it being Impos- sible to sort ont the separute lots In the dark at the bridge. That, however, is being done to-day under orders of the Military Governor, who will have doubtless returned the stragglers to their several regiments by night. From intelligent and cool-headed men among the returned prisoners tn question we learn that the main force of the enemy has certainly been drawn beck to the north, northwest and northeast of Fairfax Court-House, as though ina position to march back through Thoroughfare Gap or for- ward to the Potomac at Leesburg with equal fa- cility. ‘The impression continues to prevail in mii- tary circles here that Lee is surely preparing to cross the Potomac above. It is not believed that he will gain anything by such an attempt, or that it Is one to he dreaded. There has been no fighting whatever on the front in the last twenty-four hours. While the rebels held the paroled prisoners referred to above, it is worthy of note that they took especial pains to withhold from them, one sad all, opportunities for estimating their force; marching them always as far as possible around aad ont of sight of their several bodies of troops, It was very generally said by the rebels with whom the prisoners conversed that it was the parpose of Lee to get over the river into Mary- land, we may add; thongh of course those saying so to them, had really no means of knowtng what Lee’s intentions were. — THE DEAD HEROES. Col. Fletcher Webster was Killed at the battle near Fairfax Court House, last Saturday, by an eld style Minie musket ball entering the side through the loins, and out at the left alde, and through tue left arm near the wrist. He suffered greatly for two or three hours, and deeth resulted from the internal hemorrhage. The body was embalmed by br. Holmes, st Alexandria, aed bronght to this city yesterday noon, and shipped for Bestow in the 5 p.m. train. His wife was waiting in this city for his remains. The body wes clad in an entire new uniferm, and placed in & handsome rosewood casket lined with white satin. The top of the casket was made in three Panels of glass, with a movable cover of rose- wood, by which the entire body can be seen. The men of his regiment, who esteemed him as 8 brother as weil as commander, visited the corpse yesterday, and wept bitterly upon taking leave of him. Gen. Issac 1. Stevens, acting general of division, was embalmed yesterday morning by the same Process st Alexandria, ard brought to this city last night, attended by an escort of officers and a company of the 3ith Massachusetts volunteers asaguard. They came in aU.8. transport de- tailed for the purpose. He was killed in the ac- tion neer Centerville by a round ball, which entered the rivbt temple and, passing through the brain, lodyed in the skull at the back, causing a fracture of the skull. At the time ke was shot he Wes dismounted, bis horse being shot dead under him, and he advanced to the front of a Massachu- setts regiment. The color sergeant was ahot dead as he advanced, and Gen. Stevens seized the falling colors and held them up, and the next instant wasshotdead bimeelf. Hislefthand was clenabed upon the staff when he was taken up. The remains of both these brave men were visited by Immense numbers {n Alexandria. The body of Gen. Stevens, clad in bis own uniform, and enclosed in a casket exactly like that of Col.

His scn was wounded @ moment before his father was killed through the fleshy part of the left leg, the ball passing through the wrist of the left arm also.

MeClellan—Condi- Correspondence of the Baltimore American.) WasHincton, Sept 3, p_m.—The city is ca:m and quiet this evening, notwitbatanding the stir- rt ba lactlente which have transpired on the other side of the Potomac during the past forty-eight hours. The fact that General McClellan is again in ecmmand Is regarded, however, asa guarantee of safety, present and future, and although there is deep mortification felt in military and civil circles, there is no semblance of a panic That an army of such magnitude as that under General Pope should be compelled to fall back on the de- fensive works of ashingtop, with the loss of thousands of valuabie Lives and millions of prop- erty, must create a feeling of chuprin in every ry breast, while its effect in the Rebel ranks 11 be most inspiring. The army in failing back upon Fairfsx yes’er- day afternoon was argent | attacked by Rebel ar- tillery and cavalry, with some infantry. The retreat was covered ys the divisions of Gens. Hooker and Fite John Porter, who kept the enr- my in check and prevented any disorder or panic. They repulsed the enemy in several sharp en- ga@gements, and are this morning within the Sct resting from the severe labors of the past week. The division of the Army of Virginia under Gen. Sigel has moved up towards Conrad’s Ferry, to protect the line of the Upper Potomac, at which point it is thought Jackson will attempt to make a raid into Maryland. ‘Ihe old Army of the Potemac, with the command of Gan. Banks and the balance of Gen. Pope’s command. now comprise the Army for the ‘‘Defence of Wash- ington,” and bas been greatly inspirited by its return to its old and trusted commander. W hat has become of General McDowrll’s com- mand is not known, but it is represented 23 in no condition for immediute service. He himself bas left his command and ts now in Washington, having crossed the Potomac at an early hour this ene: The headquarters of General Pop2 are sald to be at the Female Seminary, three miles from Alexandria. With regard to General Pepe, it may be said that an unsuccessful General is al ways unpopular with histroops Asa general tule this is undoubtedly the case; but General McClellan is an exception to the rule in the fail- ure of his Peninsula campaign, as with all bis reverses he has retained the confidencean1 devo- tion of both cfticersand men. They attribute hie failure to other causes than that of not being an efficient and able General. They believe, also, that the enemy fears bim mote than any other Genetal in the Beld. Being within the lines of General McCletlan’s command, General Pope is new, of course, subordinate to that officer. Gen. McClellan bas established his headquar- ters in Washington, opposite the State Depart- ment, where the headquar'ers of the Army of the Potomac are also located. At 12 o’clock this morning Gen. McClellan, with his Staffand body Sake crossed the Potomac, and his reception b the troops is represented as of the most wi!d an enthusiasticoharecter. This was not cnly ationg his old command but by such portions of the army of Gen. Pope as have come within the lines, and ulso among the newtroops. They have faith in him, and in no one else, whatever may be the opinion of poifticians. Their recent experience, and the drape design of the Government to set him aside, haa increased theirfaith, snd whet ‘was before éntbusiasm has now become almost devotion and man-worship. About 12 o'clock this morning heavv firing was heard apparently in the direction of Leesburg, io which direction a division of the enemy's forces proceeded yesterday morning, conaiating not only of cavalry and artillery, but also of in- fantry. In the front there did not appear to be any pursuit by the enemy, who now occupy both Fairfax and Centreville Cavalry an@ artillery have been sent up the Marylend side of the Potomac to reinforce the command at Conrad’s Ford and other crossing points onthe line. There has also been a strong Movement in that direction on the other side of the river, including the command of Gen. Sigel, to inter any attempt at crossing. An ambulance driver, who came in about two o’clock this afternoon, represents matters on the other side of the river as papialy, improving. The of General McClellan was infusing con- dence and enthusiasm among the men. The Quartermasters were using their best exertions to forward supplies to the different divisions, 2d there had been much suffering on account cf scarcity of subsistence stores last ht and this morning. As fer asl could learn, ata late hour this evening the men were getting quite comfort- able, and were resting under the guns of the nu- merous defensive works from the labor and toil and exposure ¢f the past week There !s much speculation here with regard to the extent of the powers given to Gen. McUlel- lgn by the command which has been tendered to him. Those bebo Sas to know wed that he Positively declined to accept the position in the Present state of affairs unless his command over all that pertains LS ge defences of Washington Was to be above and beyond ail interference. ile would not take the responsibility on hima -if with any liability of being thwarted in his purposes, but expreseed confidence in his ability to protect the city from invasion and drive back the ene- my, if full were given him. The Presi- dent is suid to Have emphatically decided the matter on his own responsibility. Whatever Set be might be made against Genera! Mcvlel- lan for slowness, he has never been out-gener- alled, and so long as he had command he Kept the enemy at bay and prevented disasters. On crossing the Potomac this morning General McClellan issued an order to his troops, whieh will doubtless reach you by telegraph this even- ing. It was received with long repeated checr- ing In all the camps. EL Evacnuati: Ui terville—Attempt of the Kebels te Cut eff eur Supplies—The En- gagement ef Monday. (Correspondence N.Y. Tribune.) Headyuarters Army of Virginia, Centerville, 10 o'clock Monday evening —Saturday night was Q dismal night at Centerville. The Army of Vir- ‘inia, for taree days victorious, was forced to ¢ a backward movement and rest on the laurels won. The re had not been defeated, for out of the combined forces, there were not 50,00 men who on that day struck swords with the enemy. Why the General commanding did not so dis- of bis forces that every regiment should have honor of meeting the enemy, i do not know; but Generals have Teluciantly admitted the same in reereeence. eae i were appre! ions that the enemy had been heavily reinforced, and that before the arrival of reinforcements from McClellan the rebels might advance under the Momentary pres- tige they had gained, and throw their whole force on our left flank, commanded by Gen. McDowell. As Franklin’s and Sumner’s reserve force swept up from Alexandria these apprehen- sions ceased, and the army wassafe. Gen Sum- ner, with ni Peninsula veterans, com of Richardson’s, Sedgwick’s, and Kimball’s di- visions, was posted onthe rig ht wing, and Frank- lin in the center. Fires were buf, tents were struck, and thus the army lay on their arms until persian Ubtorp enemy. Nothing of jm- portance transpired during the night Sunday morning dawned on the both armies.

At two o’clock on Sunday their pickets made a faint show on our extreme left; but they were soon sent back by 8 few ran- dom shots {from our artillery. This movement on the rest of the enemy was no doubt made as a feint to draw our attention from an intended raid on our supply trains, extending to the right and rear along ‘he Fairfax road. On Monday morning intelligence was received at headquarters that the di ions of Hill and Longstreet intended to ap; on our right in force and cut off our supply train. ‘To prevent this eonsummation, the division of Gen. Reno was dis) hed by Gen. Pope to Fairfax Court House It was also deemed prudent to commence the evacuation of Centerville, to cover our base of Operations, inasmuch as Gens.
