M. pore os New York, Satarday, August 30, 186 THE SITUATION. The news as far as we have reccived of the eperstious in front of Washington is very en- conraging. General Pope has sent a despatch from Mansasas Junction to Washington, in which he states that finding the rebels were trying to turn bis position he divided his command into three colnmus—one under MoDowell, another ander Reno, and the third under his own persona: command. McDoweM was to interpose between the rebel forces that had passed through Thoroughfare gap and the main body at White Plains. This he accomplished successfully. Reno was to moyo to Greenwich and "support McDowell if necessary, while the third column proceeded to @ran-sas Junction. At Kettle run the last met, Tonght and routed the rebels. who suffored severely in mea, arms and camp materials. Jackson, who had evacuated his position at Manassas Junction, waa met six miles west of Centreville by McDowell and Sigel, and a severe fight took place, which was terminated by darkmess. Heintzelman was to have moved on to Centreville yesterday morning, with every prospect of completely defeating the rebels, Later advices state that Generals Burnside and Pope cut their way through the rebel ranks and formed a junction with General MoClelina. The rebels were driven from their positions and through the Bull ran mountain paeses, with great slaaghter, by Generals Hooker, Bammer and Storgis. They are reported tho- ronghly routed. A general battle was expected to be fought during yosterday, and we understand thatthe news, as far as received, is very good. It is implicitly believed that General McClellan has been pliced in ie immediate command of the whole Arty of Virginia, with Gencral Burnaide as comman r of the Army of the Potomac, and Genera! Pe as cominander of the Army of the Rappahannock. Altioagl not ofigially announced, ft ts reported that Gencral McClellan has assumed the above command. One of our special correspondents has put ua in possession of the plans of the rebels infront of Washiagton. Jackson, with 35,000 men, wasto Lave marched via Shemandoah river and attack Pope in his rear, while Lee kept bim engaged in front and on the right and left flanks. This plan waa defeated by the retreat of Pope. Another portion of Jackson's army was to have passed up the Shenandoah valley and crow the Potomse tato Maryland. Doubtless this will be, or perhaps has already been, promptly met. and also defeated. The arrival of the Matanzas, from New Orleans August 22, brings us the intelligence of the pre- paration of our forces to evacuate Baton Rouge, And the cetablisumest of the State government at Now Orleans, under Governor Shepley.

The public will be relieved this moraing on finding that, instead of rebel raids, our troops are gaining victories in front of Washington, and that our government is giviug the news in some authentic form, We publish else- where the important despatch from Pope, which shows that the plans of the rebels have thus far been circumvented, and that communication pvetween Washington and the old Army of Vir- ginia ia open once more. It will now be seen .that after ten days’ re- treating, mancuvring ané fighting between Cul- pepper Court House and Centreville, it is not Pope, but the rebel army, which is in a tight place; for Pope is not in the situation in which McClellan found himself when his right wing was turned by the enemy in front of Richmond— that is, widout supports or reinforcements. On the contrary, om the right of Pope, and on the way up from Fredericksburg, is the new Army of the Potomac, under Burnside ; while advang” ing forward from Alexandria’ is the newly organized Army of Virginia, under MoClellan. Burnside is reported to have since joined Pope, and the two forces unitedly have, with great slaughter, cut their way through the rebel ranks, and formed @ junction with General MoCletlan. After the raids of Stuart and Fitzhugh Lee on Catleit’s station, Bristow and Manassas Junction, Pope, with commendabie prom ptness arranged his army in three divisions, under McDowell, Reno and bimself, and advanced on the rebels by three differont rontes, This move- ment was @ splendid one. On Thursday, the 25th inst., these corps accomplished their work, iriving the rebels before them in gallant style. capturing prisoners, bagguge, arms and artillery, and closing the day in the midst of a battle. Tt was expected by Pope that the disposition of his forces would enable Heintzelman to take part in the glory at daylight yesterday morn- ing, and from the position of Stonewall Jack- son’s troopa, our General believed"in achieving another victory by defeating and driving the rebels before him, and perhwps in destroyine that portion of the enemy’s army- But with all this good and certain news we have yet to fight » battle that is to be the decisive one in front of the national capital, and it will undoubtedly be one of great mag” nitude and importance. The government takes this view of the position of things in that neigh- borhood, and to meet the emergency it is an- nounced that McClellan takes the immediate command of the whole Army of Virginia, with Pope and Burnside at the head of the two auxiliary armies of the Rappahannock ond Potomas. Our abolition disorganizing radicals may sneer at this reorganization of the several armios of MeClolian, Pope snd Burnside; they may say that the best we can now look for is the re- treat of all these armies behind the fortitica- tions of Arlington Leigitts, the Iropping of the musket, the resumption of the spade, and an- other winter siege of Washington and blockade of the Potomac by the rebel army. But we expect fothing of the sort. There is to be active aud sbarp work. The fortifications in frout of Washingion are the base, and onward is now the word. The question which is pre- senied to General Lee is not how is General Pope to he most effectively put out of the way, bat how is an engagement to be avoided with- out having to fight the superior forces of Pope, McClellan and Burnside combined. This fs the battle which we now anticipate, with or without the choice of General Loe, and there is no reason to spprobend any other than the best results. [t is not likely that if Gene rai Halleck bad any misgivings whatever he would permit, at this crisis, regiment afver re- giment to return home The three montha sor. vice of these regiments bas expired; but we know that they would promptly and cheerfully consent to remain near Warldngton tou, twenty or thirty days longer, if calied upon to do so. Jn the fact that they have not thus been called upon, it is evident that General Halleck iw antisfied tha general plan of this campaign has not been dis everything is safe, and that the tirbed by these late rebel operations around Manassas, The issue wHL be settled lays, aud we expect the most glosiona ren) with in avery hw io the cause of the Union Tow Rear Detays wom Way or Extuise wnat There seems to be a tery veneral eon- vietion that there would be no necergity for re- sorting w @ dralt in this city if the period fixed ary Stenton’s order was extended the Sd to the ith ef September, Witb- ont offer&y any opinion on the subject, we hove me or two facts to state that certalaty go to show thet cotiung would be bost by the delay, iw the mustering offices, the difleulty thet has bitherf« United States bountice viated, and the money when the recruit ie mustered In the ti oceurr ie at onc But between e thet a man offers bimeeif and his get. ¢ into the hands of the musiering officer he has to wait four or Ove days, aud he frequently becomes so dixgusted at being hopt kicking his heels in this way that Le goes off in a p ing that be prefers to t, é his chance delay ie simp umber of medical cieat oremen be authe it.

Thus the supply of men is, it will bo eeon, largely in advance of the eas facilities of the (tate and federal and it would be well for the gavernt remedy the delave « nag t + at fa day specified. ‘The Free Will Offering of the American People. At the commencement of the rebellion we kept a list of the individual contributions, the free offerings of our people, to assist the govern- ment in the prosecution of the war and tho suppression of the unholy rebellion, until the amount reached upwards of forty-five millions of dollars, all of which was given without any expectation of ita return, save in the security to life and property that would be guaranteed by the success of the Union arms, as well as the vindication of our republican form of govern ment by the crushing out of the extensive con- spiracy against it—a conspiracy not confined to our own country, but extending to the aristo. cracy of the Old World. Since that period no correct lists of these donations have been kept: Not a day, however, passes without our chroni- | cling the donation of patriotic individuals. The rich and the poor of every locality are continu ally placing upon the altar of their country their private means, and swelling the amount of the patriotic contributions in behalf of our goverament to a sum unparalleled in the his- tory of the world. Ever since the last call of the President for troops the public have liberally come forward with their funds to make the response quick and emphatic. Individuels have given their hundreds and thousands, societies and corpora- tions their tens and hundreds of thousands, and, in fact, liberal contributions have been made in every quarter. The cirouwstances connected with most of these gifts, and the man- ner in which they have been made, spexk volumes for the patriotism of our people and their devo- tion te the country, Take, for example, the Police Department of this city. They bave al- ready organized two full regiments, and have two more under way, and at the same time have secured « fund for the support of the families ot those who enlist in their regiments. To this fund they have siready received individual con- tribotions varying in amount from twenty-five cents to five hundred dollars, amounting in all to upwards of thirty thousand dollara. To this there will be added, om the ist of September, from the police force, fully twenty-five thousand dollars more, which will be daily augmented. ‘The families of those who enlist in the police regiments will be visited every alternate Mon- day, and their necessities supplied out of this patriotic fund, thus furvishing a guarantee to those who march to the battle field that their families will not suffer while they are absent. Under this arrangement it is usoless to add that the two regimeats of the Police Department were recruited in less time than any other in this city, While this and the inducements offered by individuals for recruits for particular regiments are taking place in this city, the rural districts are not behind in their free will offerings. We give these as exstaples of what hus been done; but other localities are not bebind in their free will offerings. [fF the entire amount of the individual donations couid now -be enumerated, together with those made by so- cieties snd corporations—for which. there is no expectaiion of a réimbursemeut—the entire sum of free’ will offerings ‘of our people, fom the breaking out of the. rebeliion down to this time, would amount to upwards of one hundred millions of dovars. The like is un- paralleled in the history of the world, and tells % tale of the devotion of our people to our de- moeratic form of government flat the arisio- cracy of the Old World may well take warning from. It shows the earnestiess of the masses aud their determination to maintain our gov- ernment, that will be well for our officials to carefully consider and beware how they trifle with, Music iu Central Park. ‘The Central ark Commissioners announce that thera will Be musto at the Contrai Park, om the malt, to-day (Sa wurday), at half-past four o’clock P.
