From ihv Ruppaliaiiiiock Linen— Ih** FHi*Mli( ul llt«* PUt lttf haiioiittiiio |,i H Won*ide4 An officer from tbe fta|ipnhuniiock river givps some bigbiy iuiportunt intelligence from t»ur operations in that vicinity ° The positions and movements of our airny need not U* ui»mtinned ; but we can state that the enemy is in full retreat aud closely pursued by our troops. ()u Saturday morning heavy aud eontiuued cannonading was beard at Orange Court House up to tbe time that the train left. At Stevensburg about 10 o’clock A. M ~o n \\ ednesday, a party of our cavalry Nogounturud a large body of Yankee e.., airy and a i Jiisk skirmish %*«ned The *my retired slowly aud iu good order, and were pursued to within two miles of the Rappa hannock, when a charge was made with great gallautry by the Confederate horse aud sixty odd of the Yankees were taken prisoners. Ou Thursday a portion of our troops were engaged with the enemy at Kil ly’s mill and another portiou at or near Be verley’s Ford, the artillery ou either side con tending fur some hours late in the afternoon, without, however, any material result as far as known. It was supposed that Pope had falleu back as far as Warrenton, and would not give battle this side of that point, if at all. He abandoned a large uuinber of his woun ded at Culpeper 0. H., estimated at not less tnan two or three hundred. These men had been wouuded iu the battle of Cedai Kuu Mountain, ou the 9th of August, where the Yankee prisoners confess to haviug been thoroughly “used up” by old Stonewall. A melancholy picture of desolation and devastation is exhibited by the county of t’ulpeper. An unbridled license has pre vailed among the Yankee soldiery, l oof leuding citizens have been impoverished in a single day, their negroes all carried off. their fencing destroyed, their sheep and hogs anti cattle butchered, their grain en tirely consumed, their horses all stolen. A farmer, whose bouse Milroy made his head quarters, had a magnificent field of corn, from which he expected to realize 1,009 barrels. The Yankee General refused, in insolent language, to spare his crop, gave nis hirelings a carte hlanche to plunder.— The result is that not five bushels can be made from the fivld. In some instances colts only a year old were forcibly carried off, despite the entreaties of their owners, and old hens with flocks of chickens have been killed. Many a family has been ie.fr in a condition upun absolute want and starvation. Our informant says that the seines of joy ous delight manifested by the inhabitants! at their deliverenee surpassed anything he I ever witnessed. Ladies brought pails ot wa- ! ter on their heads to distribute among the j worn and dust covered heroes of the South. Old meu wept for joy. The girls waved their handkerchiefs and cheered the army from early in the morning till late in the afternoon, aud praised God for their deliver ance. From passengers who came through from Orange Court-house op sh? Qeutrftl train last night we learn that a severe engagement took place at the Rappahannock river, a few miles below the railroad bridge, on Satur day morning, commencing about sunrise and continuing some four hours. The ene my attempted to dispute the passage of our troops across the river, and a heavy artillery ; tight resulted, in which we lost about one J hundred and fifty iu killed and wounded. — j The loss of the enemy was believed to be much greater. The troops engaged on the part of the enemy were the army corps of Gen. Burnside. The enemy were finally 1 driven back, aud our forces crossed the riv er, capturing about four hundred prisoners. A report was also brought by passengers ' that our cavalry had advanced as far north j as Bristow Station, on the Orange and Alex andria Bail road, within seven miles of Man assas Junction, and that our troops had oc cupied the town of Warrenton, but these reports seem not to be well authenticated.— It was further stated that our troops were pursuing Burnside in the direction of Fred ericksburg, aud that the main body of the latter's army had reached that town as early as Saturday night. Those familiar with the distance between the two poiutswill at once detect, the improbability us this statement. To sum up the information as received by us, we accept the conclusion that the Fed eral forces have retreated iu the direct ion of Washington and Fredericksburg; that the fight of Saturday at Rappahannock river was an effort to cover that retreat; that they were defeated with the loss of prisoners sta ted, aud that our army, having crossed the river, is pursuing them northward. — Any speculation as to when tbe foe will be overtaken, or where the next fight will oc cur, would be uselessly consuming space in our columns. YANKEES IN GLOUCESTER. From gentlemen who arrived iu this city yesterday from the lower end of King and Queen county, we learn that a Yaukee force of some three or four thousand landed at 1 Gloucester Point ou Saturday morning, and took up the line of march in the direction ;of Fredericksburg. This force consisted of infantry, cavalry and a battery of artillery. The sudden and unexpected appearance of a Yankee force in that locality, suggests an inquiry as to the whereabouts of McClellan aud the remnant of his army who left West [ over in the early part of last week. It is prettv certain that his army has never reach ,ed Fredericksburg. A gentleman who lives lon the Rappahaunock river, and who left ‘fiis home on Friday wsure us that no troops had passed up the riwr Gnee Burnside’s corps. It is therefore not at all improbable that the force lauded at Glou cester Point ou Saturday is but the advance guard ot the army that recvutly evacuated the banks of James river. SKIRMISH IN FREDERICK COUNTY A skirmish occurred ou thv morning of the 18th inst , in the neighborhood of Tav lor’s Furnace, about Vl miles north of New town, Frederick county, in which Capt. Hiu ker, a gallant officer of the Virginia cavalry-, was killed. Hearing that a baud of Yankees were depredating iu that finali ty and arresting loyal cityfceus, l atit. iGuK**t started iu atrcinpanied by Limit Gol. 1 uuk, who was in quest of conscripts At daylight ou the naming of the 18th they came upon the enemy and attempted to dislodge them from a house and barn.— tu the effort Col. Funk, Capt. Rinker, and five uieu were cut off from the others of the party. The skirmish lasted nearly a half flour, during which Capt. lliuker fell.—- Col. Funk exhibited that coolness which has distinguished hint on former occasions as an officer of the “Stouewall Brigade.” The party succeeded iu capturing four traitors. Our loss was two killed and one wounded, and four horses. The enemy had eleven killed and wounded, after which they fell back to Winchester. It is stated by parties who recently es caped from Winchester, that there are now iu that place about 1,800 Yankees, consist ing of thre mouths rneH from New York Ibis class of troops are all that now occupy the lower part of the Valley. It is also said that their treatment of the people is better than that of their predecessors, aud that they declare their intention to return home as soon as their term of enlistment ex piles. ONE GJT pIEBPOINX’S SHERIFFS CAPTURED. A private letter from Mt. Jackson, She nandoah country x dated the 13th iust., states thai a noted Confederate scout with, five associates, a few days previously, en tered the enemy’s lines and captured the sheriff of Berkely county, under the Pier point dynasty. It is said this official had in his possession some thirty thousand dol lars that he had collected from the people of that county. AFFAIRS IN PRINCESS ANNE AND NORFOLK COUNTY.

Gentlemen arrived in Richmond yester day who have been prisoners in McClellau’a camp siuce the battle of Malvern Hill.— From them, we have learned facts connected with the evacuation, which will be news not only to the public, but to our military au thorities. \Y hile our pickets were guarding Malvern Hill, Turkey Creek and the devi- j ous ways of the White Oak Swamp, MeClel- ! lan’s large army had takeu up its line of j march for the frans-Ohiekahominy ; and when our corps of observation, attracted by | the glare of the fires by which were being destroyed such of the Yankee camp property as could not be removed, visited Berkley ou ' Sunday uight the track of the “ small Na poleon” was cold. With sixty thousand men, two thousand runaway negroes and an immense wagon train, he was quietly and safely wending his way over the sandy roads of the York Peninsula. His march was leisurely, uninterrupted and unobserved. Ilis extreme rear guard, the half dozen regi ments to whom was entrusted the duties of firing the abandoned property at Berkley, whipping in the stragglers and destroying the bridges in the rear of the army, has alone ever been caught by our vigilant cavalry. On Thursday, the fourteenth of August, McClellan, to impede his pursuers, if any there might be, had the bridge over Turkey oreek, at the foot of Malvern Hill, des troyed and caused the forest trees for the space of a mile to be felled aud thrown across the Charles City road. On Friday morning, before daylight, tbe evacuation of “Harri son’s Landing” begun in earnest, wagon trains and contrabands moving first. That night the transports, laden with the sick, camp stores, &c., dropped quietly down the river. All day Friday, all that uight and the next day the grand Yankee army was un coiling itself and stretchiug away to the eastward along the Charles City road. On Saturday but two regiments were left on the site of the late encampment. These mo mentarily expected the irruption of our troops, and held themselves in readiness for a speedy departure. But time wore on with out the appearance of even a Confederate scout. The Yankees, in conversation with our citizens on Sunday, expressed their sur prise at the want of vigilance of the “ Re bels”—and in the course of the evening, there being still no signs of an attempt at pursuit on the part of our troops, or any in dications that they were aware that the ene my was ou the move, they applied the torch to' such property as had been prepared for destruction, and in a very leisurely and dig nified maimer withdrew from the “James Riv er base.” If QUF geuer%l& im %nxioua to got rid of M-H 1«T; tu on any terms, aud were loth | t .> throw any impediments in the way of his departure, the manner in which they have accomplished their end* in deserving of all praise. If, on the contrary, it. was their ob j« 1 1 to hem huu iuto the river, or, wpon his venturing Iroui behiad his entrench menu, to ih)mice upou aud destroy hU demoralized legimeuts, there is not luuguage strong enough to stigmatise their blind mismanage ment. Now that the \ aukecs have left their James river encampment, it may be interest ing to know how, during their six weeks’ occupation, they treated our citizens whose persons and homes were embraced within their lines. From all we have heard, they deported themselves very much as did our own troops ou the farms occupied by them neat Richmond, (fur troops tore down the fences, destroyed the crops and killed the stock of our farmers ; aud so also did the Yankees, ihe ouly difference betweu them was that our troops, when remonstrated with for their outrages, told the- complainants to charge all damages to Jeff. Davis, whilst the Yankees referred them to l ucle Sam.— Where there were ladies in a house, McClel lan posted a provost guard to protect the in mates from actual violence. This provost guard is composed entirely of regulars, who entertained a thorough contempt for the vol unteers, and collisions betweeu the two class es are of every day occurrence. Our informant represents the Y'ankee army as far from recovered from the demor alization consequent upon the repeated bloody defeats before Richmond. Kvery day during their occupation of Berkley there were from twenty to a huudred arrests for mutiny aud the utterance of seditious language. The men avowed themselves tired of a war in which, from the beginning, they have been flattered with hopes of victory which alwavs end in defeat and disaster. Ts is not likely that McClellan, without a strong infusion of fresh troops into its ranks, will ever ven ture to lead this army into another battle. As evidence of how thorough ho considered the disaffection of his troops and their de sire to desert, the last order read to them before leaving Berkley stated in express terms, that any soldier straggling so far be hind as to miss three roll calls should be I shot as a deserter. In consequence of this ! order, u uumber of his men, unable from : weakness aud disease to keep up with his i columns, have turned their faces this way i and enmo i«L> oi i lines. YVe are glad to be able to say that Mc | Olellan put no further constraint, upon the liberties of our citizens who were in his ' power than to forbid their passing beyond , A»s lines. And when he took his departure, ’ left them without requiring any parole as to their future conduct. Special Correspondence of the Chicago Times. Trouble wifli the Negroes in Washington. An Insurrection Apprehended. Washington, August B. —There is rea son to apprehend serious trouble from the negroes that are now swarming in this dis trict. Tens of thousands of these unfortu nate beings have been enticed away from kind masters and comfortable homes, and are now here without any means of support except the pittance doled out to them by the government. This pittance is entirely in adequate to provide them any of the com forts of life aud barely suffices to keep them alive. They live, if living it can be called, in dirt, wretchedness and squalor : clothed iu mere rags, covered with vermin, and till ing the atmosphere with a most intolerable stench. The money which the administra tion pays to them to support them in idle ness amounts iu the aggregate to an euor moust sum per day, which the white people of the country are taxed to pay. Most of the negroes are as stupid as brutes, with not a single idea except those relating to work, eating and drinking. As they have none of the first to do, they devote themselves ex clusively to the two last. But there are among them some men who have some de gree of intelligence, whose ill regulated minds and ungovernable passions lead them to desire to play the part of Toussant L’Ou verture. These men have been petted and flattered by leading abolitionists in Congress, who have induced in their minds such ideas as that all men are equal; that black men in this country have equal rights with white men ; that this war was brought about by the abolitionists, the friends of the black man, in order to liberate the colored people of the South from slavery ; and that, when that was done, the black man should have the same political rights aud the same social privileges as the white man. These honey ed promises were greedily swallowed by those to whom they were addressed ; and they, in their turn, communicated them in ruder language and even more g’owing col ors. to all the blacks in general It is well known how rapidly and how extensively news of any kind travels among the negroes. It was not long, therefore, before the sub stance of the glittering prospects had been held before the eyes ot ail the slaves in the states of Maryland, A irginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and North Carolina. Yet, of all the slaves in these States, very few comparatively, were believed Ly them. The most of them, to their be it said, bad sense enough to know that they were better oil where they are than they could beat the North, and remained at borne. But several thousand, nevertheless, were caught by the alluring bait, and, escaping from their masters, came here to W ashiug- Vjn The thousand thav VOLUME XL-NO 24. i'*und here tii«* negro paradise • n«> wurk and P‘ cu, y *° Hus. when they began tv puiir in by hundreds at a time, wheu it be came difficult to feed them atul unable tu make th« in work, they began u» murmur.~ I hey mm find that i U order to get then bread they have got to work a great deal banter thau they did at hotue Thu ha* prodtoted among them a feeling of deep seat ed discontent, which the few wily black tncu spoken of shove and taken advantage ot Ihe reoeut decision of the President u»t to employ uegroes a# soldiers, but to use then* a* laborers, has been seized hv the*.* tneu as a lever, and they have u*«sl it with tremendous eflect.

I have spoken in all the large towns on the Hudson and through the Mohawk V al ley to this city, and I am pleased to assure you that the call of Governor Morgan, in response to the President’s 300,000 demand of volunteers, is responded to with alacrit), and soon New York’s proportion of them will be iu the field. The recent order of a draft by the Presi dent for 300,000 more meets with the en thusiastic approval of old aud young in all directions, and the only regrets I have heard expressed are, that he had not ordered a draft for half a million. The men taken from the Northern and the Midddle States are not even missed by these States. Everything is prosperous; crops are abundant; money is plenty ; and the only evidence one sees of war, is in the newspapers and the rattle of drum and fife at recruiting stations. True, iron clad mou sters are buildiag, and transports for war purposes at various points, all going to show that the government-is in earnest —terribly in tarnetl. 1 have nothing to disguise, Mr. Editor, iu regard to this internal rebellion, iam for crushing it out, no matter what if cost. I am for subjugation, coercion and extermina tion, if these measures are necessary to put down the rebellion, and sustain the govern ment of the United States. I know the ori gin of the rebellion, and 1 know the urgina (ors; and nothing short of an old fashlDned orthodox hell, that burns with fire and brimstone, will reward them adequate»y for their services ! This is the city where General Halieck was boru, auci trom whence he started out This is also where Rev. Joseph Cross used to figure as an ultra Abolitionist This is the contemptible scamp who preached the sermon at Gallatin, in which he held up “Brownlow Johnson, and Maynard” as trai tors totheSouth 1 He is now a chaplain iu the rebel army, lam procuring the doeu meots, including his old letters, to show him up iu his true hut infamous colors.
