Harsxucx, General-in- Chief:— As soon as I discovered that.a large force of the enemy was turning our right toward Ma- neseas, and that the division | had ordered to take post there two days before had not yet arrived from Alexandria, I immediately broke up my camp at Warrenton Junction and Warren- top, and marched iapidly back, ia three eolumns. I directed McDowell, with hig own and Sigel’s eorps, to march upon (lainesville by the War- venton and Alexeudria pike ; Reno and one @tvision of Heintzelmaa to marc on Green- wich; and, with Porter's corps and Hooker's vision, I marched back io Miuneses Jupction, ° MoDowell was ordered to intorpoue between the forces of the enemy which had passed down to Manassas through Gainesville and his main body, moving dowa from While Plains through Thoroughfere Gap. This was vom- pletely accomplished, Lungsireet, who had passed through the Gap, being driven back to the west side. The forces to Greenwich were designed to support McDowell in case he met too large a force of the enemy. The division of Hooker, marching toward Manassas, came opon the enemy near Kettle run, on the afternoon of the 27th, and, after a sharp action, rowed them completely, Ieilling and wounding three inndred, capturing campa and bayguge, and many stund of arms. r This morning the command pushed rapidiy fo Manseiss Junction, which Jackson had eva- ‘vated three boars in advance. He retreated by Centreville, and took the tarnpike toward Warrenton. Ile was met six miles wost of Centreville by McDowell and Sigel tate this afternoon, A severe fight took place, which was terminated by darkness. The enemy was driven back at all points, and tus the affair reste. Heintzelman’s corps will move on him at @aylight from Ceatreville, and I do not ace how the enemy ts to escape without heavy loss. We have captured one thousand prisoners, many arms and one piece of artillery. JOHN POP#, Major Genoral.
