Pope's army recount an affair at Warrenton on Monday, in which our troops were successiul. The details of the late fight near Culpepper, and the attack of the rebels a Catlett's Station, will be found in our columns to-day. We publish a map illustrative of the wcene of Generals Pope's and McClellan’s armies. There is nothing later of importance to report from Gen. McClellan's headquarters., From Cincinnati we learn that Fort Donelson thas been attacked by the rebels, who were defeat- ed. They numbered 450 infantry, 335 cavalry and two field pieces, and were commanded by Colonel Woodward. The fort was gallantly defended by. Major Hart, with four companies of the Seventy- Grst Ohio regiment. Details of the movements of the rebels in Ken- ‘tucky and Alabama of an interesting character are given to-day. f Our naval correspondence from Texas and the ®Bouth generally will be found highly interesting. By the Hibernian, which arrived off Father Point yesterday, we have two days’ later news from ‘Europe. The most important item of intelligence touching the war is a letter from Earl Russell to Mr. Stuart, acting British Minister at Washing- ington in the absence of Lord Lyons. The letter da in reply to a despatch of Mr. Seward, relative to the condition of this country. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The steamship Teutonia, frou: Hamburg on the ‘9th and Southampton on the 15th jr+tant, arrived at this port at an carly hour this morning. Her news, however, is not so late as that we have al- ready received and published, the Hibernian’s dates being two days later. There was a report ig circulation in the city yesterday that @ sailing vessel or steamer was destroyed by fire on Monday night on the Long Island coast, near Montauk Point or East Hamp- ton, but we received no verification of the report from the scene of alleged disaster up to the hour of going to press. Our correspondent on board the United States bark Arthur, writing under date of July 26, off Aran- eas Bar, Texas, furnishes an interesting account of @successful mosquito naval expedition in that vici- nity, under command of Captain Kittredge. The expedition captured the rebel fortifications at Christi Bayou. The works were found abandoned nd the guns removed. On the 8th uit. the expe- dition seized fifty-two bales of cotton at Lamar, wine miles from Aransas. The cotton was await- fog shipment on a schooner, On the same day it captured a schooner laden with cotton, en roude for Corpus Christi, ‘to fill an order of the Confe- erate States gevernment.”” The rebels have fitted out several small gunboats in the vicinity of Corpus Christi, and at last accounts a “ brush’ ‘was anticipated between them and tio federal gunboats. ‘The late order of the Secretary of the Treasury, requiring the Collector of Customs at this port to detail an officer to examine the lading of all ves. gels chartered by the Quartermaster’s Department to carry supplics to the army, has led to some im- portant developments with regard to the manner in which goods of various kinds have been for- warded to persons claiming to be sutlors, and others engaged in swindling our soldiers by the sale of bad whiskey, gin, candies and knicknacks, which, by their use, in many instances have donbt- Teas caused much of the sickness in the ranks of our army. Vessels under the customary quar. termaster’s certificate, stating that they had on board “government stores,” have been allowed to carry almost unlimited quantities of goods—in many instances contraband—on private specula- tion; and this order of the Secretary has not only seriously interfered with the business of these par- ties, who have realized immense profits out of this trade, but we learn that the Quartermaster himself has taken umbrage at the course pur- wuéd by the Collector in supervising his ship- ments, and intimates that such interference with his rights will probably “lead to the termination of Mr. Barney's official life. ‘The venerable Quartermaster, in falminating his *‘war orders,’’ should remember that the Collector a, only acting in accordance with the instructions ‘of the department, and that bis best possible plan Gs to submit gracefully to the “powers that be,” ‘wepecially when he takes into consideration that ‘all that is required of mastera in the clearance of Their vessels is a strict compliaace with the lew in manifesting all goods on board The Bourd of Supervisors met at two o'clock yesterday aft rT, the Register \ of allegianse had uployes of the y-seven persons the war as gol- till next Tuesday at will commence bal- tors of Election, sand Albany the noon, to enable ings and assist in NDERS. 563 Brondway.— noon.

Ex-Goveraor Hicks, of Maryland, who declined a brigadier generalship tendered him by the President, has joined a company as private, at Cambridge, Dorchester county, Maryland. D. A. Mahony, editor of the Dubuque Herald, who is now under arrest on a charge of treason, is the copperhead democratic candidate for Congress in the Third district of Iowa. ‘The attention of brokers, and others who have already commenced demanding a premium on the new postage stamp currency, is directed to section 195 of the act of Congress, passed March 3, 1855, which reads as follows:—‘‘ It shall not be lawful for any postmaster or other person to sell any postage stamp for any larger sum than that indicated upon the face; and any person who shall violate this provision aball be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not more than five hundred dol- lars.’” All the men employed in Jenks & Son’s factory, in Philadelphia, have been required to take the oath of allegiance, The Jews of Syracuse, New York, have sub- scribed $2,260 to aid the Fourth Onondaga regi- ment. Governor Gamble, of Missouri, ina speech at 8 war meeting in St. Louis, on the 21st inst., placed himself in the ranks of those who are in favor of driving the rebels to speedy destruction. He said he would exterminate the guerillas as fast as they were taken; he would make the wealthy secessionists pay the expenses of the war in Missouri, and he would drive the non-combatants down to Dixie. By the new Congressional apportionment on the census of 1860, the States now in rebellion have lost five members of the House of Representatives, We have advices from Turks Islands to the 9th of Augnst; but the details are entirely unimport aut. The Royal Standard of the latest date, speaking of the salt crop, says:—The demand for salt has not been so great during the present week as it wad the previous one. Six vessels, however, have been loading within the colony with our staple since our last week’s report. The weather continues dry, and rakings are still going on, pro- ducing a superior quality and abundant quantity of salt. A meeting was held at Grand Turk on the 1st of August to take into consideration a propo- sition te ereet 2 national memorial to the late Prince Consort. The movement was very influen- tial and successful, the sum of £37 2s. 3d. having been contributed before the adjournment. The market for beef cattle was buoyant and firm yesterday, notwithstanding the fact that the receipts were very heavy. The demand was ac- tive, and the cattle were all sold by twelve o'clock, at prices ranging from 6}4c. to 84c.a 8%4c.—ge- neral selling prices 7%4c. a 8c. Milch cows were quict. Veala were steady. Sheep and lambs were in large supply, and 25c. a 50c. per head lower. Swine were also pienty and lower, with sales at 3}4c. a 334¢. for corn fed, and 3\%c, a3}ge. for stillfed. The receipts. were, 5,022 beeves, 87 cows, 187 veals, 16,379 sheep and lambs, and 15,197 swine. Stucks were again active yoaterday, and prices of the jeading railway shares and of government sixes were again better. The advance of the day was from 3 to1 per cont. A few of the Western shares show a decline of 31g. Money was very easy at 4 per cent; gold, 11534; exchange, 127 a 1277. Tho export of produce for the week amounts to nearly three millions of dollars: ‘The cotton market was agai firmer yesterday, and ture active, closing at an advance of xc. a lc. per ib- ‘The sales footed up about 2,500 bales, on the basis of 47}gc. a 48e. per Ib.

The Army of Virginia—The Enemy Still Heid at Bay. Our latest direct information from the army of General Pope is from stray passengers who brought the news down to Washington yes- terday that there was an engagement at War- renton on Monday,in which our forces were snecessful, having driven the enemy out of the town, which onr troops were still holding at the latest advices. This expulsion of the rebels from Warrenton was previously reported, how- ever, as having been accomplished by General McDowell’s corps on Saturday last. If the rebels bave since been repulsed in an effort to recapture the place, so much the better. Let it suffice for the present that the extreme right of our army maintained its position at Warrenton on Monday last. We accept this fact as equivaleat to a complete frustration of the designs of the enemy; for we doubt not that by Monday last the concentration of our forces rendered them abundantly able to meet all pos- sible emergencies. The designs of the enemy wore to turn the right flank of General Pope, to aut off bis supply trains, and to cut his army to pieces before it could form a junction with that of McClellan, and then to pounce upon McClellan afd overwhelm him, and then to move triumphantly into Washington and dic- tate a treaty of peace from the White House. The tremendous stakes tor which the rebel leaders were thus playing were sufficient to encourage them to their utmost exertions to overhaifl and crush the army of Pope before it could be sufliciently strengthened to repel them. And they have exerted themselves to the ut most to this end, in their forced marches upon short rations, in their cavalry incursions to cut off or destroy our supply and baggage trains, and in their desperate efforts at various potnts, for four or five days, to force their way aciuss the Rappahannock. The river, however, at its or- dinary summer level, can be forded almost any- where between Warrenton and Fredericksburg; but recent heavy rains in the neighboring mountains had rendered it impassable for several duys, exoept at the bridges ond fords commanded by our batteries. Thus the elements have providentially come to our support at the very crisis when their interven- tion was most needed. It is not in the order of Providence that our government and our coun- try shall be, by this insane rebellion, destroyed. The insolent and confident rebel army from ichmond has been brought to a stand. Jt will the compelled to face about to the south again ; and this time, from tue seve that we have learned from ov 1d despisin of the enemy own 4 id, we | im th suali adyanye fully provared w grapple with a rebel army of even three hun- Sprague, Mayor Cranston, Capt. Biake, aud the | dred thousand men, to rout it, and to gather up its broken fragments right on to the Gulf of Mexico. Let us push forward our reinforee- ments to Washington, so that Gea. Hallock may be able to turn the tables upon the rebel army before it falls back to its defences at Richmond. Volunteers Versus Conseripts. The government at Washington have appoint- ed the 3d of September for the draftin all the States; but as many of the States will have ready by that time their quota of the 300,000 volunteers for three years or the war, and their quota of volunteers for the draft of 500,000 militia for nine months—and some have the double quota ready even now—it is decmed ex- pedient, for many@easons, to defer drafting for @ short period, till it is ascertained - whether all the States will not send to the war theigpropor- tions of the 600,000 men required as volunteers, instead of half of them drafted troops, Several of the Governors have, for that purpose, already Maine has extended the time to the 10th of September; the Governor of Indiana to the 15th, and it is understood the Governor of New York will extend it to the 15th. Indeed, it is impossible to have the roll for this State prepared sooner than the middle of next month. The feeling in favor of volunteering, and against the draft, is almost universal in the oyal States; and there can be no doubt that, if the government get all the men they want as fast as they need them, volunteers would be in- finitely preferable to conscripts. More troops are now being offered than the government can properly organize, arm and equip; and if they continue to pour in at the same rate the draft probably will not be carried into effect. All that the government can desire is to receive men as fast as they are in a position to use them; and, for the supe- rior efficiency of the troops and the credit of the country, it is much better to fight the rebels with an army of enlisted recruits than an army of drafted men forced into the service. The effect in Europe, too, would be very different. If, within ninety days from the time that the President called for 600,000 men, that number should be enrolled, armed and equipped, the nations would stand amazed at our military re- sources, and at the same time be fully con- vinced of the unalterable determination of the republic to put down the rebellion, and of the certain success that must attend the rapid de- velopment of such power. The chief objection ‘to volunteering in prefe- rence to the draft is that the abolitionists, who have been equally active with the Southern se- cessionists in bringing on the war, would be thus exempted from the perils of battle, which they will take good care to avoid as long as they can. But they will answer for a reserve, and when the government needs men it must take them without scruple. Greeley says there are 900,000 of them who have never yet smell- ed powder or pulled a trigger. If it be neces- sary to fall back on them, they must be taken in preference to niggers; and if they should never be needed to fight, a future Congress will consider the propricty of imposing a special war tax upoa every able bodied man between eighteen and forty-five years of age who has not volunteered to fight for the Union. Meantime, democrats and con- servatives, who.bave their hearts in the cause and hold the salvation of the Union paramount to the success of a fanatical idea, or even to the triumph of a party, will fight far better ‘than those who have devoted their lives the de- struction of the glorious political fabric erected by Washington, Jefferson, Madison and their compatriots. In the next place, as regards the interests of the country pending the rebellion, the draft will bear no comparison with the volunteer system. The indiscriminate draft adopted makes no distinction between the unmarried man and him who has a wife and children to support. This is manifestly contrary to sound policy. In all European countries where there are large armies and conscription is necessary, there isthe nicest distinction made between the different grades of persons liable to be drafted. First, the young unmarried man, who has no relatives depending upon him for support; then -the unmarried man who may have a mother or sisters or infant brothers to take care of; then the married man without children; then the married man with only one child, and the mar- ried man with two or three children. By these wise gradations families are not ruined and made paupers of by taking their heads away, and the country is better served; for the young unmarried man makes the best soldier. Here- after we trust Congress will adopt some such regulation for the draft, if ever drafting should become necessary again. There can be no difficulty in getting the second levy of 300,000 as volunteers for nine months; for the farmers and agricultural labor- ers—the very best fighting material—have now for the most part done with their work, and by enlisting for the fall and winter months, when they have little or nothing to do, the rebellion will be crushed by next spring, and they can then return to their farms again in time for the sowing and planting of the next crop, and that with the proud consciousness that they have saved tle republic. With the overthrow of re- bellion and disunion South and North, prosperi- ty will come back, every interest will revive, trade and commerce and manufactures will flourish again, and America will continue to be in the future, as she has been in the past, “the envy of surrounding nations and the admiration of the world.” Eart, Rvsseut on Exouisa Nevrrauiry.—We publish this morning a remarkable letter from Earl Russell to the British Charge d’Affairs at Washington in relation to an official com- munication addressed to him by Mr. Seward. Judging from the language and tone of this document, Mr. Seward’s letter to his lordship must have been equaily remarkable, though of its precise object we are leftin ignorance. In the communication that we publish Larl Rus- sell claims to be at the head of the foreign department of a government which bas ever exhibited a neighborly and disinterested feel- ing towards this country, and which, since the commencement of the war, has observed the strictest neutrality towards it. On these asser- tions we bave no commenis to oifer, fu r than to recall the attention of the pubtic to the lan- guage employed towards the North d the period referred to by the English government organs, & las to the open aid afforded to with th (Skip Aad G9 CHs voy full cognizance of his lord- NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27 ; 1862. = a ToDay.—The city war} K2erma Ivronurioy reo rum Ever { Tun War Mewenn? of our citizens. be absent who can possibly attend, and no man should attend without having resolved to do something, either personally or by his money, for his country and its success in putting down this rebellion. The objects of the meeting are, first, to fill up the New York regiments now in the fleld ; second, to fill up the State quotas of three years and nine months men ; third, to fill up the Corcoran brigade before September 1, These are good objects, and commend them- selves to every loyal man. There should be— and there need be—no drafting in the glorious State of New York. Every man who goes to the war from this State should go asa volun- teer. Now no recruit need join the army with- out being able to provide amply for his family from his bounties and his pay. If the draft be enforced, many families will be left destitute; many wives and children will be left without means of support; many widows and orphans will be left te the charities of those who re- main; for all bounties cease when drafting be- gins, and all who delay, in order to sell them- selves as substitutes for richer men, may them- selves be drafted, or may not be able to obtain as much money as substitutes es they can now as volunteers. For these reasons, and for others which will readily suggest themselves to every reader, the city of New York ought to render a draft un- necessary by enlisting her quota forthwith. This can be easily done if the means are pro- vided and the subject fully understood. We hope, therefore, that the speeches this afternoon will be brief and to the point, and that every orator will resolve, before he goes upon the stand, that every sentence he utters shall briag a recruit to the army, and that he will waste no precious time in- platitudes or politics. We hope that every man who can will go to the meeting resolved to volunteer, and thus give an emphasis und a moral to the speakers’ remarks. We hope that every man who cannot volunteer will take a recruit to the meeting, and thus send a substitute in advance. We hope that every man who can neither volunteer nor find a recruit will take all the money he can raise— a thousand, a hundred, fifty, ten, or even five dollars—and subscribe it towards the bounty fund. If this be done heartily, cordially, and with a spirit worthy of this great city, this me- tropolis of the Union, there will be no neces- sity fora draft. The motto of the day is: No drafting in New York city. Better a thousand dollars for a volunteer than one hundred dollars for a substitute. Tux Excuusion or Newsraren Corrrsronp- ENTS FROM THE AnMy.—The President, or Se- cretary Stanton, or General Halleck, or who- ever is personally and particularly responsible for the order excluding correspondents from the army, should plainly understand that his order does not affect the newspapers or burt the enemy so much as it does the loyal people of the country. The countless, and perhaps groundless, ru- mors now set ailoat by unscrupulous men, and by certain newspapers which seem to have ob- tained an exemption from the government or- ders in regard to the publication of war news, are creating a most painful and hurttul excite- ment in the public mind. Business is disturbed, recruiting is hindered, and the tumilies of sol- diers in the field are greatly distressed by these reports, which, if true, may be exaggerated, and which, even if untrue, no one is authorized to contradict. In thus tying the hands of all the press be- cause a few newspapers were unpatriotic enough to give information to the enemy, the authorities at W: ton not only needlessly interfere with those papers which bave obeyed the orders and respected the wishes of the go- vernment, but are also morally bound to sup- ply the place of the press, as far as relieving the natural anxiety of the general public, and particularly of the relatives of soldiers, is con- cerned, by the regular publication of reliable bulletins from the seat of war. This plan was adopted by the Russian go- vernment during the Crimean war, and was found to work admirably. The bulletins were impartial, and stated the truth without exag- geration, extenuation or comment. But if this plan was necessary in a military despotism like that of Russia, how much the more neces- sary is it in this country, where every soldier is a free citizen, aud where our volunteers come from among the intelligent, reading, thinking masses of the people? Our govern- ment owes this favor, at least, to such a people as that which has made this war memorable in the annals of patriotic devotion. The government need not fear the press of this country, which, as Karl Russcli observes in a letter published this morn- ing, ought to be permitted the sume free- dom and independence of discussion as that of England. If, however, the press is to be ex- cluded from the army news, the government must do the daily work of the press in an- nouncing the facts of the war, so as to expose all false statements and offset all incorrect rumors; and this can only be done by a daily official bulletin, which shall tranquillize and relieve the minds of the people. The loyal newspapers will cheerfully assist in this work by publishing the bulletin and sending it to every house in the country. What is done, however, quickly. Bounties anv Extistwents.— Much dissatisfac- tion is expressed in all quarters at the muddle about the bounties. Some recruits have recent- ly received two hundred dollars in federal, State, local and private bounties, and this fact occasions jealousy and complaints among men who enlisted earlier and received less bounty. Again, many men refuse to enlist even at the present excessive bounties, expecting that even more money will be paid before the draft is en- forced. Again, the recruits are promised their advance instalment of the State bounty within forty-eight hours after enlistment; but the pey- master at Albany is so overrun with work that sometimes the necessary certificates are withheld for two' weeks, while the recruits mur- mur and their poor families suffer. To remedy these and other evils, some arrangement should be made to equalize the bounties throughout the State, and for the prompt payment of the advance bounties. A general bounty fund, into which all State, local and private bountics could be paid, and from which all recruits must be done coult be vance tione oma to ns bOst calculated to ef- Legh tages WO ObyoGidy meeting in the Pax this afternoon ought to be immense in numbers, atriotie in spirit, practi- cal in measures and ben icial in results. So it will be, if it truly represe*4 the sentiments To make it so, NO man should iminediately supplied with their ad. Now that General Halleck bas perfected his arrangements for excluding all newspaper re- porters from ou® army, will he not be kind enough to see to it tat General Stuart’s rebel cavalry are also kept oXt of our lines? The rebels probably learned moré¢ about the num- ber and positions of our troops from General Pope’s private and official papers, if captured, as reported, than they could from al! the news- paper correspondents in the country, even if all editors and reporters violated their parole of honor as often as those of the radieal journals, NEWS FROM PORT ROYAL.

General Hunter has done one thing in this dopartment which meots with the hoarty applause of everybody here, except the army sutlers and storekeepers who have come here to make quick fortunes by imposing on tho poor soldier. The measure inaugurated is the establish” moot of a tariff of prices for goods sold, allowing the sollor & paying, reasonable profit, but in no case permitting extortion, which has been carried on here ever since the arrival of our troops. The prices to be charged are not much ahead of those in New York. In fact, our new retail prices of some articles named in the tariiT will be far orabio comparison with the wholesale prices in our cit veto Daily to be imposed for oxceeding these prices is coniiscation of property and closing the stores. The penalty for not keeping tho enumeraicd articles on hand is closing the stores. It is tolerably healthy bere, although I have counted ten {unerals in one day.

Another Riot Between Irish and Negroes in Cincinnati, (From the Cincinnati Gazette, August pe) We heard of over halfadezen free fights in different parts of the city, and at cleven o'clock last night the station houses were completely Li!'ed with riotous people. The most serious disturbauce was between the negre and Irish residents of Breltown. Tho difficulty was started by a fight botweon # scdidle-colored negro, George Brown, and the keeper of a dogzery, one Thomas Larkin, ie _— the latter seomod to have been the party in fauit. They met on tho corner of Seventh streot and Troad- way, und after @rather severe fist fight, Brown turned and ran, sceing a crowd approachizg Lo aid bis acsailant Being urged ‘on by these people, Larkin pursued Brown, who made anothor stand, drew a dirk, aod stabbed bis tormentor twice—cace jus: above the loft eye, and once to the left of the lower portion of the nese. ing Ubis, Uke erazy crowd wade # rush for the negro and his brother, Syras Brown, both of whom ran ty the buildvog in Broadway and tock re‘uge on the roof, first haying armed themselves.

At that time, it hulf-past six, the crowd was so large that it completely ch choked up the strect. ‘The disturbance iu Bucktown continued ta late hour of the evening, but matiers were finally straightened by the arrival of a large force of police.
