THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: . SEPTEMBER 19, 1462. “gy READING MATTER ON RVERY PAGH. SEH OUTSIDE POR INTERESTING TELE. GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intefiigencer notices the inconaiatenctes of the rebel government, in allowing ita generals to issue orders in reference to cuerifiaa and “bushwhackers,” the samé in theory and prac- tice as those for which they condemned General Pope. The Repybitern recommends that the example of the Comfederates should be followed in giving whisky to the soldiers to inspirit them on the battle-tiéid. re Trieciatiows.—Since Monday last the Star Office has experienced tribulations in the labor of getting new machinery to work satisfactorily, such && were never before undergone in this region, thongh all at the North, where com- plicated and at the same time huge machinery 8 in general use, are accustomed to them. On Monday we pat in operation our new rotary four-cylinder press, for the first time, hoping hat we should Lave no trouble with it. But experience proves other wise. We find that we require paper with a diffrent run of its grain from that used tm our old Presses; also 3 different description of ink; also changes in the machinery connected with onr steam exagine, to gain the requisite power to Grive tho press steadily: and, above all, a little practice ia our employves in discharging their Tespoctive tasks in connection with it; aa we Prefer to continue our old bands in the prose Toom at the expense of baulks for a few days, to discharging them and importing others from the North who have had experience in the management of the vast machine, which, by the by, occupies & space Uuirty-four feet long, thir- teen broad and twelve high, and is well nigh as delieate in tte joints and complications as a chronometer. We are accordingly Tamoving the embarraas- ments under which our press-room haa laborad ia the course of this week, as rapidly as that an possibly be accomplished, haying instantly ordered the requisite change in the manufacture of ocr paper, a supply of the required descrip- tion of ink, aud the necessary alterations in the machinery of our engine-room; while our old employees are rapidly learning to Muster the machine. We state these facts that the public miy know why it is that the improvements in tho Sppearance and delivery of the Srar we ex pected to accomplish on Monday last. haye not yet been achieved, thongh certain to be ac Plished in a very few days, at furt com. 7” At the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia, On Wednesday evening, the following dis patch Was posted on the bulletin board:—«Ga wral Hooker sends in a tele ‘craph stating that we have gained a glorious Victory.

By 12 o'clock all of the rebel batteries onthe moun. ' tains were silenced, and at that hour-Gen. Re- no's eorps was ordered by Gen. Buenside to charge up the mountain. Gen. Ren= rode in the advance, and was followed by Gen. Stur- gis and staff, all of whom for nearly % quarter | of a mile rode throngh a perfect storm of bnil- lets. After gaining the top the Federadcolumns were formed under 2 galling tire, andthe rebels were speedily driven from their positions. This | occurred in the neighborhood of Fox's Gap, in the South Mountsin. At half-past four-o’clock Sturgia had formed on the right of Gen Cox, and the Federal infantry droye therebe be. fore them. Capt. Rawalla's battery at this timo silenced batteries of the enemy which were be. Yond the monntain. t Hooker in the meantime had come through the valley between the South and the opposite mountain, and drove the rebels in such a man- | ner that Rawalla’s battery played upon them, | forcing them to seek shelter in the woods. | At5 o’clock the enemy opened ws the left and front, and our troops again drove then from H the field. Gen. Reno was killed at§ o'clock by one of the enemy's sharpshooters, and was immodi- ately carried from the field. Gen.

FROM RICHMOND. — } STORY OF AN ESCAPED FEDERAL PRISONER. $< THE FORTIFICATIONS AND TROOPS { ABOUT RICHMOND. RS ee William James, a rember of compeny I, Michizan cavalry, wSo was taken prison the battle of Cedar Moanty day last from the Libby prison, and arrived here last night. Mr. Frames made an attempt At ercape about two wesks azo, and obtaining at 8, escaped on Sun- his way as far as the CMckshominy, and’ was recaptured and taken back to Richmond in irons. On Sunday, when the paroled pris- onrrs were marched out of the Libby prison, James, with two or three athers, was left ina ) Toom, and the Lieutenant came up ina great hurry, and not immediately recognising Jantss- 3% one not intended to be paroled, he haying | slipped off his handewds, he-ordercd the guarc | to let all in the room pass ont. As soon as the escape was discovered a cor- poral and guard were sent to the boat; but James being described as a cavalry soldier, he managed to procure an infemtry coat and a siouch hat, and, taking off hisbeots, got in the boat and thus got off from Jeff Davis's domain. Two or three weeks ago, (at tha time of his first escape,) Mr. James visited most of the fortifications about Richmond,.and he found them but poorly manned, and the Rebels very basy erecting other fortiilcations, They are also apparently making preparations to meet every exigency of war, by the collection of all the grain, &c., in the surroundiag country aud taldimg it to Richmond. At that time Gen. Wise had abeat 3000 men under his immediate command between Rich- mand and the Chickahominy. These appeared to be all the troops about Richmand, except tho Home Guards who were doing duty at the prisons. The victories of the Confederates induced the criizens of Richmond to pay frequent visits to the prisons and try to induce the Federal pris- Oners to enlist under the “Stars and Bars,” telling them that Washingtop and Baltimore ‘Were both taken; that McClellaxvwas killed and that Pope was wounded and a prisener in their hands. Mr. James fully confirms all. that has here. tofore been told of the outragrous treatment of oar prisoners, Capt. Wirts, who now commands the Libby prison, is particularly mentioned as being one whose treatment of prisoners was brutal in tha extreme. The prisoners were fed on a quarter afi a loaf of bread twice a day,a:small quantity af soup, and once a day a smadl piece of fresh cReat. FROM THE SEAT OF WA THE FIGHT WITH HOWELL GOBB’S REGIMENT. —- From a private letter received in this city we &re permitted to make the following exfract : “The Colonel and Major of our regiment (224 New York Volunteers) are beth seriously wounded. It will be a very tedious affair for them both, particularly for the Major. The wounds were received at the battle of Cramp. ton Gap, near Burkittsville, Frederick county, Md., and a glorious victary it was for opr divi. sion, which was the only division engaged. “Tho enemy were posted on a steep, wooded hill, whence it seemed almost impossible to dis. lodge thein; but by a simultaneous movement irom right to left, we drove them a: a charge bayonet over stone; walls, throngh tie woods, and up the hill untit they received. reinforces ments, which seemed to stagger our men; but having accomplisid this much, another cheer and an y routed Howell Cobb's forces, weoccupying their position and have been up the present time. “We took two pieces of artillery, 500 prison. ors, besides some 300 wounded and killed” ANOTHER MAJOR GENERAL We hear that the President has promoted Brigadier General Revert Senenck Major General.
