T wi: give yous briefaccount of our late operations. My reconnoissance beyond Strasburg, on the 18th and 39th inst., discovered Jagkson reinforced, in a strong ion, near New Market, within supporting distance of the body of the rebels under Jobnsten. It was ne- to decoy bim from tliat position. Therefore I fell ‘back rapidly to Winchester on the 20th, as if in. retreat, ‘my,whole command nearly thirty miles in one 3a 8 Nittlo skirmish that evening, while placing tillery ip position, I was struck by a fragment of » shell, which broke my arm above the elbow, injured my shou!- der, end damagedame otherwise to such an extent that 1 Jain prostrate eversince. I commenced making ‘thie position I awaited and expected the enemy's attack ext morning. ‘My advance brigade was two miles from the town, its pickets extending perhaps a mile farther along the turnpike loading to Strasburg. About eight @’cleck in the morning 1 sent forward two experienced officera to reconnoitre the front and report indications of tho enemy. They returned in an hour, reporting no ene- my in sight except Ashby’s force of cavalry, infantry and artillery, which by this ‘time had become familiar and contemptible tous. Gen. Banks, who was yet here im person, upon hearing this report, concluded that Jackson could not be fn front possibly, or be decoyed away s0farfrom the main body of the rebelarmy. In this opinion I, too, began to ooncur, concluding that Jackson was too sagacious to be caught in such a trap. Gen. Banks therefore left for Washington. His Staff of- Sicers were directed to follow the same day, by way of Ceutrevilie. Knowing the crafty enemy, however, I had to deal with, I omitted no precaution. My whole force was concentrated, and prepared to support Kimball’s brigade, which was in advance.

Gur Special Army Correspondence. ‘Winoursren, Va., March 27, 1862. In company with Captain Morrell, of the itlystrious Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania regiment, I visited the battle field near this place yesterday, The visit was rendered doubly interesting by meeting with the Captain on the way. He was the senior Captain, and commanded the valiant band of two hundred and sixteen men who repre- sented -the gallant regiment. after the death of the lamented.Colone) Murray. The Lieutenant Colone) and Major were both absent on the day of the battle. ‘There,’ said the Captain, ‘is where the Kighty-fourth delivered their first Gre into the enemy, aud there i@ the spot where Colonel Murray died leading them toa charge.” 1 looked at the brave man before me, who had five builet marks in his clothes, and then at the spot bloodstained by the life tide of the noble Murray, and asenseof awe, ‘horror and admiration darted through my mind like a shock of electricity. Riding forward a fittie, the Captain said “it was here our boye suffered most. Thero is where twenty of our men feil within a space of as many square yards.” Gazing at the spot, besmeared , as it was,.with biood, the reflections created by the scene and the place were inde- seribable. Then the Captain, after a pause, continu “These are the woods where the Louisiaba Tigers were,and where they opposed us for two hours at'thirty yards dis- tapee. Wo could hoar them crying, ‘Rally, ‘Tigers, and remember Bullran and Cerro Gordo; the Yankees are before you.’ ” I proceeded into the dell behind the wood. Every rock was stained with the blood of a departed rebel; every tree was shattered by ourfirearms. Pass. ing to the loft, a newly turned mound of earth, about forty yards by five, and two feet in height, attracted my notice, ‘What is that little fenced enclosure?” asked I. “That,’? replied my brave guide, ‘is the grave of eighty-four rebels killed by our regiment. ana the Seveuth Ohio. - There are many other similar mounds on the field. “The Union dead are buried in the cemetery. Do you ze8 that wall?” said the Captain. ‘'Tkat is tho ‘wall whore the rebels took position till they wore driven “to those woods over there.” I looked, rode along the wal}, stained cverywhere with the blood of theenemy’s doad and wounded, and shattered in many places by the alls and shells of the Union.army. ‘That field is the one”, said iy copdyetor,"poluttig over the wall to» level open space, ‘where our men charged the was very much exposed; no shelter at all did it con- x % they dared to show their heads, and I picked ups rebel hat on the field with nine bullet holes in it. Straying along over the dreadful field, saw everywhere traces f the unquestionable severity of the-confliet; and, baving fully satisfied my curiosity op this point, J turned my Dorge’s head, and only felt relieved from a feeling of awful horror long after resehing Wineheater. A monumental subscription should be Bighty-fourth, and the lame of every one who partici- pated in this terrible struggle ebould: be ipacribed upon the monument in letters of geld. : Capt. Morrell informed me that the Bighty-foorth is largely composed of Irish citizens, and that the bayonet charge of these men swept the rebels like chaff before she wind. ‘The enemy’s loss, independent of prisoners, is now a9- certained to have exceeded 1,200 mem. The houses and villages between the field of battle and the town of Stras- burg are in many cases crowded with them, and there in J searcely a house in which there is not one dying, déad, or from which @ funeral hap not taken place since the day of the memorable struggle. Union men, escaped from the reve) army and arrived at Wineberter on the 26th, describe the panic among the rebels as spreading as the severity of their recent chastisement becomes evident to them. They admit a losé of 1,000 killed and wounded. Tho oxact loss in the Seventh Obio regiment was nipe- toen privates killed, and fifty-nine privates and non-eom- missioned officers wounded, and eleven missing. Three officers were alsd wounded.

General n showever, deeming it of vir simportance to pre- yent @ junction at Centreville of 1h forces of General Banks with those of General McClellan, determined to at- tack General Banks at Wineboster, with such @ show of force as would compel him to remain there at least. It seoms that he had no idea that he would be able to com- pel General ] ‘a to abandon Winchester and re- turn to Harper’s Ferry, but he was determined that he should not advance towards Centreville. Accordingly, he caused four regiments of infantry tomake a forced march from Mount Jackson to Strasburg, and from the latter place to the scene of the engagement on Saturday. The rebe! account of the battle itself does not material- ly differ from that published in'the Heratp of the 27th, except in the following particulars:—First, ae to the numbers engaged, it is stated that Jackson’s whole force, after he was reinforced by General Garvett on Sunday, did not exceed 6,000 men, and of them not more than 8,000 were actually engagod, Second, thatthe reason that the rebels were obliged to abandon the contest was that their ammunition became entirely exhausted. This appesrs to be trae, from the fact that no cartridges were found in the cartridge boxes of Uhose Lakon prisoners, or of those found dead in the field; but why there was such ney of ammunition among them is not explained, hey state that our loss in killed is um greater than theirs, and that they took move prisoners than we did. ‘Time Will settle this last point. TERRIBLE. EXPLOSION IN PHI.ADELPHIA. A Government Cartridge Manufactory Blown Up—Fitty Persons Killed and Wounded—Horrible Injuries Inflicted Upon the Sofferers—Harrowing Scenes and Incidents, &e., &c. OUR PHILADELPHIA CORRESPONDENCE, Pmiavenrura, March 29, 1862. Anexplosion occurred in this city at ive minutes to nine o'clock this (Saturday) morning, by which upwards of fifty people were cither killed or mangled. The scene Of the accident was @ remote part of the southern sub- urbs, and immediately opposite the City or Moyameusing prison, A pyrotechnist named Jackson, who has made three or four hairbreadth escapes, and narrowly escaped with his life Inst summer, had established a manufacto- ry for army cartridges, and had socured a heavy govern- ment order, to fulfit which he bad employed upwards of seventy bands and worked vigorously, but it is thought carelessly. ‘The cartridge factory was a one story frame structure, located at the corner of Tenth and Reed streets, and about fifty feet square. A business office stood in # cor- ner, and was buiitof brick. This part of the building ‘was not much injured by the explosion. The factory ad- Joined on two sides & vacant lot, and to the north and east the dwellings were clore, and in some gases densely populated. The manifest impropriety of conduct- ing ® business so dangerous in the midst of ‘® numerous popalation was evideycet in th? effect of the accident npon the surrounding property and residents, many of whom were stunned, bruised and burned. It is thought that five barrels or kegs of pow- dor were stored ou the premises, and grains of that com- buatibie are said to have been strewn loosely around the lace, The arraugemenis for extinguishing fires were fow and inefllcicnt, and after the accident the flames burst out im the ruins, and, it is believed, burned to death, many of the stunned and bleeding victime of the explo- ‘| sion, 4 ‘The accident was chroniclyd by a dall, booming sound, followed soon after by tho ringing of the city fre alarm Delis. The intelligence of the extent of the accident was tranemuitted by telegraph to the Mayor, whoat once started for the scone, accompanied by the Chief of Police. Fire Marshal Blackburn was promptly on the spot, and the Coroner soon summoned 4 jury and visited the place. A dense crowd bad meanwhile ec:lected, and the firemen were atill working at the blazing ruins. Thescenes were poignant and terrible in the extreine, the ground being littered for squares around with patches of flesh, bones and brains. J picked upabit of skull, with the bair adhoring to it, more than @ block (an eighth of ® mile) from the place, aud @ whole human head, afjerward re. cognived as that of John Mehaffey, was found in an open Jot againet the prison wall. Limbs, teeth, fingers and fragments of scalp were found upon the roofs o! neigh- boring hoiides, and blood was emeured upon afl the adja- cent walls, I encountered a police officer Dearing a barrel filled with entrails, bones and fleeh, and rolics of the terribie event remain in the hands of the resi‘ents in the shape of smo.red and dripping fragments of flesh. The entire stomach of @ man was found -wpon the roef of a house in ‘Tenth street, aud I noticed several females, their clothes ail aflame, run- bing hither and thither, avoided by the crowd, shrieking most pitifully. ‘Some of the workmen were fo Jiterally and thoroughly blown apart that only the remotest fragments of boots remain. All the windows of the ad/oining t mente were demolishe and most of the household fur niture prostrated. The enn st some of the buses literally taken up aud blown into the street, Pedes- trians were like «ise treated, and some of the convicts of the prison state (hat they reeled in their colls and fell to the floor, ‘The whole building was blown to pieces, and what the explosion failed to destroy was accomplished by the flames that almost immediately broke out. The tene- ments on Tenth and Reed streets were made hospitais for the time; and, as one by one the dying and mangled were carried out, the spectators shrigked and fick, Indeed, the place was aceldawaized, and blgod was upon every brick and stone of the highway. At the cate of my writing the Coroner is holding his inquest, and a solution will be obtained to the mystery enfolding the explosion.

At the skirmish at Rappahannock Bridge, last evening, Captain Clarke’s battery, of the Eourth artillery, shelled the rebels with remarkable rapidity and precision. The enemy left, in their haste, a pumber of cars loaded with grain and other forage. We could have shelled them with terribie effect in the act of carfying off their sick aud wounded, had it been desirable. A rebel lieu" tenant and four privates were taken prisoners. The enemy, day before yesterday, captured six men of the Sixty-sixth New York regiment, i Heavy firing is still heard at intervals on the front. Tho horse of Lioutenant King, of the Fourth artillery, and nephew of General King, was poisoned last night. A bottle of strychnine was found among the rebel forage abandoned in the vicinity of Warrenton Junction. A secret meeting of the secessionists was held at Fairfax Court House last Wednesday night. Several of the troops have been killed by the rebel sympathizers in the neighborhood of the Gourt Houre during the week. Steps haye been taken to detect the perpetrators, aud to prevent a eimilar occurence. A drove of twonty-five cattle were captured from (he enemy, SHIPPING POINT OCCUPIED BY UNION TROOPS. ‘Wasmmxeror, March 20,3662. , Shipping Point was yesterday occupied by our troops. As the steamer Mount Vornon passed that place they had raised the flag of the Union, and the band was playing the ‘Star Spangled Banuer.”” .
