The Sashes of the enemy’s guns were seen in the distance, and the curling smoke ef exploded shells was seen sailing im the air.

General Franklin, with his corps, arrived from Alexandria at Centreville yesterday, after the battle was over, and at once took up position in the front.” It wae expected that he would have arrived early in the morning, but the real couse of the delay has not been explained. TR GRAND COMING BATTLE, which {t is universally believed will soon be fought at Centreville, or in that vicinity, will unquestionably have @ most important infuence not only upon the people of this country, bat upon the world. It is anticipated that the grand and decisive battle of the rebellion is close at hand. It may be fought any moment. The rebel leaders stake the hopes of the rebellion on this last grand deape- rate dash at the capital itself, With thenumbers ef well disciplined veteran troops in the field, and the thousands of fresh regimenta that are pouring into Washington, Soya) citizens need entertain no fears of the result. Our military authorities are confident in being able not only to successfully defend the national capital, but to sweep the rebel army iyo the face of the Old Dominion. ALEXanpaia, August 81, 1962. According to al! accounts, Stonewall Jackson yesterday succeeded in forcing his way through the Union troops surrounding him, and effected « junction with the re- muinder of the rebel forces. This result was not attended without fearful loss on both sides, as the most desperate fighting took place. From all that can be learned, in absence of any regular report, the corps of General McDewell, Heintzetman, Por- ter and Sigel wereengaged, the former having the left, ‘the Iatier the right, and the others operating about the centre. The priocipal part of the fighting seems to have been on the left and centre, ‘Phe left was thrown up from Manassas Junction ¢o- wards Thoroughfare Gap, the right at about Centreville: and the centre old Bull run battle field, out from ‘Manassas. — ‘The action whe commencel by the enemy opening bis ‘batteries upon our left, between one and two o'clock in the afternoon. ‘Their guns were strongly and advantageously posted upon a ridge, while our batteries bad to fire from the open plain. General Morell’s division supported our bat- teries at this point. After some severe canonading, Genera! Buford’s bri- gade of cavalry, comprising the Firat Michigan, the Firm ‘Virginia and the First Vermont cavairy, were ordered to our extreme left to reconnoitre, and guard against apy attempt to turn our left flank, which movement was threatened by the enemy. Riding beyond our left, where our infantry were form, ed close behind our batteries, which were playing with great precision upon the enemy's, while our troops were cheering vociferously, our cavalry reached « it eminence, and were sbout to send out a de- tachment to explore, when the onemy were seen coming up in force along the line of the sdjeceut woods, A rebel battery was sean +e whirl inte position, and then came shell thrown into the midst of our cavalry, followed by oanister and grape, Thus was discovered the intention of the enemy to at- tempt a fiank movement. Long lines of rebel infantry could plainly 6e seen hurrying up to take position, and soon other rebel batteries were brought up and upon our left. ‘Our cavairy, foreed to retire, retreated behind a low ridge; but the clouds of dust revealing their place of re- treat, the rebels continued shelling them, apd another change of position was made. Here a body of cavalry were observed riding towards the spot, and the rabres of our cavalry were drawn to ‘meet the coming foe. The squadron proved to be friends, the Fourth New York cavairy. Where they had come from, as Geu. Sigel was on the right, was and ie & mys. tery. They reported the rebel cavalry under General Stuart as about making a charge. The New York cavalry fell in behind General Bu. ford’s brigade, the bugiers sounded, and over the hill galloped our men to meet the advancing rebels. As our men approached them the rebel cavalry discharged double barrelled shot guns, and then met us in fall charge. Our men broke the enemy's line, and pursued them. The rebels ralied in splendid style and dashed forward again to meet the charge. Again their lie was broken, and as our cavairy was preparing to charge again the rebels opened fre upon them from their battery and with musketry, compelling them to retire. Meanwhile our left had given way and was on the re- treat, passing the cavalry. A battery whieb bad rup short of ammunition was on the point of being captured, but under the determined resistance of our cavalry it was eafely brought off. ‘The troops fell back upon General Franklin's division, which bad just come up, and were formed in line to pre- vent etragg! ing and anything like @ panic. Had General Franklin’s corps arrived two hours earlier upon the field the result of the day’s fighting would have been different, ‘The fact of General Stuart's cavalry being armed with double barrelled shot guns, is proved by @ number of the guns being captured, and several of our cavalry having Puck shot wounds Colonel Brodhead, commanding the First Micbigam cav- airy, was captured Lieuteuant Merriam was wounded and taken prisoner.

General Hooker's division, on its return from the peninsula, where it made itself and its commander £0 Mustrious, after embarking at Alexandria, on Sunday, the 24tn of Angust, occupied the position on tho right of General Heintzelman’s corps. After the debarkation it was immediately ordered to the front. The division ar- rived at Warrenton Junction on Monday night. It Temained there until the fight of the ensuing Wednesday. ‘THR BATTIZ OW FRIDAY ‘was deemed the most denperate of all, The Union losses fm this battle have been estimated at eight thousand killed, wounded and massing, while that of the enemy, it is said, te about double that number. On Friday, General Hooker, being largely reinforced by Goneral Kearney’s division, feliowed up the advantages of the Gay before, and the result was the attempt of General Jackson to withdraw his army from the vicinity of Ma- nassas, by the road leading towards Leesburg to Ashby’s Gap. It is everywhere conceded that a brilliant victory for the Union arms was won on Friday. It is said that possitive information has been received that the rebel General Ewell was killed in Friday’s battle by ashot through the head. The slaughter among the masses of the enomy on that bloody day was immense. ‘TEE TWO VIGHTING DIVISIONS, General Hooker, as at Williamsburg, bore the brunt of the battle on Thursday, and as he fought the rebel Gen- eral Johnston at Williamsburg and defeated him,s0 he fought the rebel General Jackson and utterly routed him. On Friday he was reinforeed by General Kearney’s divi- sion, as at Williamsburg, and #0 these two divisions, forming Heintzelwan’s corps, drove the enemy te the wall. Hooker's and Kearney’s divisions have done more fighting than any others in the Army of the Potomac, and their ranks are terribly decimated. THE BATTLE ON SATURDAY. The battle of Saturday was a long and bloody one. General Pope, having concentrated the greater portion of the army under his command, renewed the attack in the morning. It was supposed at first that the rebel forces engaged were only those whieh had been met on the previous days under the command of Generals Jackson, Ewell and A. P. Hil! ; Dut it was afterwards ascertained that the enemy bad rec@ived heavy reinforcements. The line of bat- tle was formed with the left resting upon that portion of the Bull ran battle field which, on the 2ist of July, 1861, was oocupled by the main body of the rebel troops, while the right was extended in the direction of | Manassas Junction. The battle begun at about twelve o'clock, noon, and was waged with unwavering success for the Union forces until about four o’olock in the after" noon—General Heintzolman being on the extreme right and General McDowell on the extreme left, while the army corps of Generals Fitz, John Porter and Sigol, and Reno’s division of General Buraside’s army, were placed in the centre, The enemy’s artillery was advantageously posted, and at once opened @ brisk and admirably well directed fire upom our whole line from right to left. The ground in that vicinity is broken and uneven, and for the ‘most part covered with-woods. Tne rebel batteries occes cupied splendid positions upon rising ground. The fight- ing on both sides was desperate and destructive, either party frequently firing shrapnell and grape from the artillery. Our troops were protected to some extent by the unevenness of the ground, the undulations sereening hem from the destructive fre of the enemy's artillery. Still they suffered, much, and the list of casualties during Saturday’s fight will be considerable, Our artiliery was well and faithfully served in reply to the guns of the @nemy. At about four o'clock the whole of Gen. Pope's troops, save those under General Banks, were ev- gaged at close quarters with the rebel forces. ‘The conflict was a desperate one. The firimg upon doth sides was terrific, and the whole line of Genera; Pope’s command, from Generals commanding army corps down to enlisted men, bebaved with wonderful coolness) courage and determination, and fought with the most heroic valor from the beginning tothe end. Before the determined aud deathly fire of our infantry and artillery the heavy lines of the enemy began to waver, aud it was believed at that time that a great and decisive victory had been won. But soon afterwards it became apparent that instead§of having to eontend against only the rebel troops under Generals “Stonewall” Jackson, Ewell and A. P. Hill, the whole strength of the rebel army had been brought up and pushed to the front in this engagement. ‘The lowest estimate put upon their numbers was one hundred und fifty thousand of their best troops, under the immediate command of Generals Lee and Johnston. With the reckless disregard of life which the rebel commanders always have exhibi- ted, the rebel troops were brought forward in dense magses and hurled with desperate violence against every part of our lines. The tide of battle turned adversely for us about balt-past five o'clock. At that moment, without ‘any diminution of the forces engaging our right and contre, overwhelming numbers of reinforcemente were Precipitated against our left wing, under General Mc- Dowell, and it was soon compelled to fall back, not more on account of the violence of the assault than because there was great danger of all our forces beng outfanked by the superior numbers of the enemy. Near nightfall our left wing had thus failen back anti) the line of battle formed an angle of about forty-five degrees with the one formed at the beginning of the battle. Thus while we held the battle field on our right, the enemy held the field ‘upon our left. But the disparity of the forces engaged Deing ascertained during the evening, al! of GENERAL POPE'S ARMY Was WITHDRAWS to this side of Buli rum and to the heights of Centreville, where General Pope's headquarters were established. ‘The loss en our side during this engagement is estimated at five thousand killed and wounded, and that of the ene my at about the same.

But the arrival on Saturday night at Centreville of Union reimforcements, under Generals Franklin and Sumner, were regarded as amply sufficient to enable General Pope to immediately renew the battle to day with implicit confidence of success. GENERAL POF AND ALL M8 BTAPY OFFICERS were exceedingly prostrated by their arduous labore dur. ng the guccersive battles of fifteen days, but they were all busy to-day forming tines of battle between Centre. ville and Bull run.

THE EVACUATION OF FREDERICKSBURG Exultation of Secession Sympathizers— Destruction of Government Property and Bridges—Our Forces Fallen Back te Aquia Creek, dic. Wamunoron, August $1, 1862, Fredericksburg was evacuated this afternoon by Gene- ral Burnside, and a considerable quantity of government Property and a number of bridges were destroyed during the final evacuation of the place. Vor several days ru- mors of successes and defeats both of Pope and Jackson ‘were prevalent in Fredericksburg, but no reliable infor- ‘mation could be obtained. The rebels in that vicinity Continued in @ jabiiant frame of mind over reported efeata of our forces fin the battles which were known, from the fact of heavy caanenading being heard for two days previous, to be in progress, and their expectation ‘that General Burnside’s army was about to evacuate the Place, and fall back te Aquie creek. In this crisis the real feelings and sentiments of many of the eitizens, especially the women, were plainly ex- Bibited. They thought that our day was over ,at least for the present, and that they could with imponity show their hatred towards us and the Union cause. During all this time General Burnside was calm and cheerful, and, 60 far from falling bask, expressed his determination tobold the city, and if attacked by the rebel forces and obliged to [retire from the plavo, to de stroy it, as could easily be done, by the artillery which commended it from a biuff, within less than half a mile, and which within an bour could reduce it toa mass of ruins. ‘Thus matters wenton during Friday until about five P. M., when our pickets fell back and announced that a repel force was approaching the city. Upon this quite a panic arose, and the Union citizens, with the negroos, re- tired across the river, and preparations were made 0 repel any attack which might be made. ‘The Provost guagd remained in the place, and the pickets were ordered out again upon the various roads. ‘This was the condition of affairs at night. There was no further elarm made, and everything was quiet. It was ascertained that the rebel force which was scen was merely a recomnoitering party, sent out probably to ascer- tain the truth of the rumor that our forces were evacu- ating Fredericksburg. Next morning the citizens return- and the usual status was resumed. ‘The heavy baggage and @ portion of the commissary stores had been sent to Aquia creek, in order to relieve ‘the army of all unnecessary encumbrance, and put it in good fighting condition. ‘The exodus of the negro population was general, and hundreds of them could be seen, with their household effects upon their heads, and accompanied by their large families of children, retreating from the city, which they doomed an unsafe place of residence. The panic among this class of the population was very great, aud many a disloyal family has to lament over the sudaen departure of their laboring element. After the order for the removal of the commissary and quartermaster stores to Aquia creck, the roads leading from Fredericksburg thither were filled with wagons con- voying the property to the creek. Preparations for the destruction of certain property were made as follows:— In Fredericksburg @ large machine shop, where the rail- road engines have been repaired, was undermined with powder, and at the last moment was blewn up with a tremendous nowe, The destruction of the three bridges across the Rappahannock wag eecomplished by covering the woodwork with pitch and bay, and setting Gre to this eombustible material after our troops had left the city. At Falmouth, on the other side of the Rappahannock, ul! the newly erected government bakebouses, constructed for baking bread for the army in that vicinity, were de. molished. The railroad depot was burned in the same manner as the bridged: A large amount of lumber at the depot was also destroyed. The railroad engines and care were left at Aquia creek for safety, and the retiring troops marched over @ shocking bad road frem Fredericksburg to Aquia creck. Gen. eral Burnside himself superintended the removal of the troops and stores, and the destruction of the property which could not be carried off. Two hundred barrels of flour were among the articles destroyed. Everything was conducted in perfect order. Our troops at Aquia creek are under the fail protection of the gunboats of the rotomac flotilla, and are prepared to meet the enemy at the place we now occupy.
