4 From the Seat of War tn Virginia. Tftc Battle of Friday. We lake tho following interesting accounts from the Richmond Dispatch of Saturday, foi which we are indebted to a friend : FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. We have no additional i>* v, from out' aimy on the Potomac The accounts which we re ceive of the battle of Saturday last tend to con firm the opinion that it resulted in one of the most decisive and glorious triumphs of the present war. The loss or. both sides must have been great, but wo understand that, it is asserted by officers who rod., over Die field after the battle was ended, that tee enemy’s loss was at least five to our one. The reports with reference to the present position of our army are conflicting; one rep resenting it to be at Munson’s Hill, In sight o Washington city, and another at Leesburg, Loudoun county. This much we are ,”, ‘. no teed in saying : that it is not idle, and L " distant day we may hear of another more effective blow than even this ,3S -> 1 Tdfe received late last War Department confirms the. evacuation ol Winchester by the en'-my s foices. T 0" BATTLE OF FRIDAY LAST, AND PARTICULARS CONNECTED THEREWITH. The following interesting account of the oDerations of the corps commanded by Gem Jackson, from Monday the 25th to Friday the 29th, including the severe fight on the latter day, has been furnished U3 by one who actively participated in the engagement: On Monday, at daybreak. General Jackson’s corps, consisting of Gen. Ewell’s division, Gen. Hill’s division, and Gen. Jackson’s old division, under command of Gen. Taliaferro, and a force of cavalry under Gen. Stuart, marched from Jeffersonton, in Culpeper county, and crossed the Rappahannock eight miles above that place, and marched via Orleans to Salem, in Fauquier. The next day they passed through Thorough fare Gap, of Bull Run mountains, to Bristow and Manassas Stations, on. the Orange and Alexandria railroad, effecting a complete sur prise of the enemy, capturing a large number of prisoners, several trains of cars, and im mense commissary and quartermaster stores, and several pieces of artillery. The distance marched in these two days was over fifty miles. On Wednesday, Manassas Station was occupied by Jackson’s old division, whilst Ewell occu pied Bristow, and Hill and Stuart dispersed the forced sent from Alexandria to attack what the enemy supposed to be only a cavalry force. The General commanding this force of the ene my lost his leg, and had his brigade nearly an- nihilated. At 3 o’clock P. M. the enemy attacked Gen. Ewell at Bristow, aDd that General, after a handsome little fight, in which he punished the enemy severely, retired across Muddy Run, as had previously been agreed upon, to Manassas Junction. Pope claims to have captured a thousand prisoners, and a baggage train on Wednesday. Not a prisoner was captured, and not a wagon watv on that side of Muddy Run, and no wagon was ever captured. Atter sunset on Thursday General Jackson accomplished one of the most beautiful and masterly strategic movements of the war. He found himself many miles in advance of the rest of our army. The enemy might throw his im mense column? between him and Longatreet— Alexandria and Washington was to his rear when he turned to attack the enemy. He determined to throw himself upon the enemy’s flank, to preserve the same nearness to Alexandria, to place himself within support of the remainder of .-nrarmy, and to occupy a position from which he could not be driven, even if support did not arrive in time. All this he accomplished that night, after destroying the stores, build ings, cars, Ac., and burning the-rail road bridges over Muddy Run and Bull Run. He marched at night with his entire force from Manassas Station to Manassas battle-field, cros-ing the Warrenton Turnpike, and placing his troops in such position that he could confront the enemy should they attempt to advance by the Warren ton pike or by the Sudley road lynd ford, and have the advantage of communicating by the Aldie road with Longstreet, should he have passed tHe Thoroughfare Gap, and at a<l events gain for himseif a safe position for attack or de fence. At 7 o’clock A. M., on Friday, General Stuart encountered the enemy’s cavalry near Gainesville, on the Warrenton pike, and drove them back; and during the morning the 2d brigade of Gen. Taliaferro’s division, under Col. Bradley Johnson, again repulsed them. It was now ascertained that the enemy’s column was ad vancing (or retreating) from Warren ton, along the line of the railroad and by way of the War renton turnpike, and that they intended to pass a part of their fore e ver the Stone Bridge and Sudley Ford. Gen. Jackson immediately or dered’Gen. Taliaferro to advance with his divis ion to attack their left flank, which was advan cing towards Sudley Mill. Gen. Ewell’s divis ion marched considerably in rear of the first division. After mareliiug some three miles, it was discovered that the enemy had abandoned the idea of crossing at Sud’ey, and had le!t the Warrenton pike to the left, beyond Groveton. aDd wore apparently cutting across to the rail road through the fields and woods. In a few minutes, however, he advanced across the turn pike to attack us, and Jackson’s army was thrown forward to meet him. The encounter occurred near the village of Groveton, the right resting just abovi- and near the village, and the left upou the old battle field of Manassas. Tbo conflict was terrific. Oar troops were advanced several times during the fight, hut the enemy fought with desperation, and did not retire until 9 o’clock at night., when they sullenly left the field to the Confederates The fight was commenced by Gen. Taliaferro’s division—the fid brigade, Cos!. Taliaferro, oil the right, the Ist (Stonewall) brigade, Cos!. Baylor, next on left, the 4th brigade, Gen Starke next, and the 3d brigade. Col. Johnson, on the left. The heroism displayed by these troops, and es pecially by the Ist brigade, was magnificent, and the loss terrible. Gen. Ewell’s division, particularly the brigades of Gens. Early, Law ton, aud Trimble, engaged the enemy very soon alter Jackson’s division, and to the, lcit, and fully sustained the reputation this veteran til vision had heretofore achieved The battle raged fiercely until 9 o’clock at night, when otir troops rested upon the battle-field Gen Ewell was shot through the ku o.

Yankee A etonnts oi tlie late Battles. The New Yorb Herald of last Saturday, has a special account .of the battles fought on last Thursday and Friday. Wc copy a port ion of its account: As 1 write, a terrible battle is raging, and ou the result must hinge this war. 11 we are suc cessful, that part of the army under Jaeßson must be auuihilated, and that under Lee - ed ; and if we are not a.H. tuo overpower us, Ged aione can t events of the day. They, or the Wr ‘ e r,?o them, come ia so thick and fast that almost goes crazy in listening to them. then,after the battle of Cedar Mountain the forces under Stonewall Jackson withdrew from the vicinity of the Rapidan, and were for some dajs unheard of, except that a strong force was in the vicinity of Madison Court House, some twelve miles to the westward in the direction of Luray and the Shenandoah val ley ; but it was supposed that this was only a wing of the army under Ewell, intended to act as reserves t,o Jackson’s army, and to cover his retreat back to Gordonsville. Not so, however. These forces of Ewell, we now find, to our sur prise, were the main body of Jackson’s army, en route for the Shenandoah valley. Jackson, with a force of thirty-five thousand men, was to march via the Shenandoah river to a point known as Berryville or Berry’s Ford, so'me twenty-eight miles northwest from War renton. General Lee, with the bulk of the rebel army, was to take the front, left and right,,and engage General Pope at or near the Rapidan, while Jackson and Ewell were to cros? the Shenandoah river and mountain, cut off his sup plies by way of the railroad, and menace his rear. But when Jackson had reached Gordonsville and Madison Court House it was found that General Pope had penetrated further into Vir ginia than was expected. General Lee, with the main army, had not yet come up, and it was feared that if Jackson continued on as per pro gramme, General Pope would reach Gordons ville before Lee’s arrival, and thus cut off his (Jackson’s) supplies. Consequently Jackson threw a part of his army directly in General Pope’s track at Cedar Creek, hoping to cheek his advance across the Rapidan, and the battle of Cedar Mountain w*s fought. You will bear in mind that Jackson continued to hold the field until Monday night; but cn Tuesday morning he was gone, and as our scouts brought in word that a large rebel army was at Gordonsville and Orange Court House, it was believed that Jackson had retreated in that direction. But not so. Jackson had mov ed off through Madison Court House, and the immense rebel forces at Gordonsville and Orange were tbe main army under General Lee who bad arrived from Richmond. When Jackson left Cedar Mountain he pro ceeded immediately to Mad.lsen Court House, where he joined Ewell. Then the re-united army marched to Luray, in the Bhenandoah valley, thence northward to Berry’s Ford, where he crossed, while Lee was keeping Gen. Pope engaged in front. Lee’s plan was to keep Pope between the Rapidan and the Rappahannock rivers until Jaekson had attained his position at Manassas, or perhaps at Rappahannock bridge ; but Gen. Pope’s retreat to the Rappa hannock’s north bank frustrated that, and -sign, and rendered it necessary ior Lee to follow up his advantage, ond, hy a system o f feints, to take Gen. Pope’s attention from his rear and divert it to his front. General Jaekson crossed tifo Shenandoah at Berry’s Ford cn .Wednesday, 20tb, and imme diately started across toward Warrenton ; but when he had proceeded a few mites he learned that Pope had fallen back, and thatSeigel, with the right of our army. wa3 in occupancy of Warrenton Springs. Then he changed his course further to the northward, and encamped twelve miles north of Warrenton and two miles west of the main road leading to Winchester. Here strong pickets were thrown out, and every human being for miles around were taken into camp and retained in durance. That night a body of cavalry under Gen. Stuart pushed in to Catlett’s station and surprised and destroyed the staff train of Gen. Pope. On Sunday and Monday, Gen. Jaekson, with his army, moved forward, and on Tuesday reached Oentreville, from which the force oi William Fitzhugh Lee moved on to Manassas the same night, Jaekson following the next day; so that on last Wednesday evening we find thirty thousand rebels in Gen. Pope’s rear, on the railroad, his supplies cut off, and lie hemmed in by his foes on the front, rear and flank. Nocall, however, of Jackson’s army are at Manassas, as a force, variously estimated at from five to ten thousand men, mostly, or quite all cavalry, continued on down the Shenandoah in the direction of Harper’s Ferry, when Jack son moved towards Manassas. Of this force I learn but little since their departure from Ber ry’s Ford ; but I am of the opinion their design is to cross the Potomac into Maryland, or to divert attention from the more important fields of Virginia. Already we hear of a rebel force being in the rear of Winchester and between that place and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, anti K Is more ttiau prooavio ttiio to tbc first appearance in anew quarter of this off-shoot of Jackson’s array. The idea we had indulged in here, that the capture of Manas?a3 was a successful raid by a body of rebel guerrillas, is now dissipated.— Jackson again occupies Manassas In force. He has captured and destroyed a vast deal of prop erty—how much it is impossible to say; bat this much is known, there are eleven locomo tives and eighty-four cars beyond the break.— The Bull Bun bridge is destroyed, as are two or tlsree others in the vicinity. Of General Pope’s movements lor the past three days we know but little, as the rebels have destroyed our railroad and telegraph commu nication, but. I learn from people who left Fair fax and Burk’s station, at. eleven o’clock to-day, that a terrible cannon fight was then raging, and that General Pope has changed front and is trying to flank the enemy in the north- t, while McClellan is coming upon them f:\ tn the east. On Wednesday n’ght, as has been detailed elsewhere, an attack was made upon Bristow station, and also at Manassas Junction. Our force- at the latter point, composed exclusively of raw troops, were ditpersed. Some of our scouts who ranged through the woods to ascertain the exact condition of af fairs, saw at Gainesville, ten miles beyond Ma nassas, a rebel encampment, which they esti mated at from 30.000 to 110,000. The rebel forces, composed of cavalry and infantry, occupied Manassas al! tha* night. Yesterday morning they advanced, and had in their possession seven cannon, captured from our forces at Ma nassas. General Tavlor’s Brigade, composed of the first, second, third and fourth New Jersey regi ments, were proceeding towards the Junction, and when about three-quarters fa mile beyond the railroad bridge across Bull Run, upon the road leading to Manassas Junction, they fell into an ambuscade of the rebels, who were formed in a semi-circle, with artillery in the centre and infantry upon both sides. It is said that the brigade was awkwardlyjhattdled. At any rate it is known that almost all were either kill ed or captured. From 150 to 200 stragglers have escaped and come in up to this time. Gen eral Taylor, commanding the brigade, was seri ously wounded, and his leg has since been am putated. At a little distance from the point where the Now Jersey brigade was ambuscaded, the eleventh and twelfth Ohio regiments were met bv another rebel force and badly cut up. ‘Until dark last night the rebels had destroyed nothiug upon the line of the railroad; but during the night they burned the bridges aeros the Accolink and Pope’s head. The scouts reported some *’ve hundred rebel cavalry on their way from Centrevtttr to evot tax Court House. This statement has been verified from other reliable sources and official reports. . , Information has also been received that a force, estimated at six thousand rebels, last night occupied Vienna. It is known also that during the uight a rebel cavalry force entered Leesburg and made pris onersa portion ct Capt. Means’ company ol Uniou iro ps, being raised at that point. It is supposed that the rebel force at Leesburg were a party ol guerrillas residing in tbe vicinity, who were emboldened by the near approach ol the rebel army to make a demonstration against Means’ men who were very obnoxious to the secessionists in that neighborhood. The whole country from the Manas**? Junc tion to the Rappahannock river is occupied by bauds of guerrillas, regular or irregular, aud communication between Gen. Pope’s army and either Fredericksburg or this city has been temporarily suspended. Tun presence of this large army of rebels on this side of Bull Bud is a verification of tha rebel programme ex posed m the Herald some two or three weeks ago. It is a bold end daring inacaMivre, and ought have been successful if <en. Pope had been so largely r. iutorced as to enable him to contend ul a.l tbe troops that Gen.

Another correspondent of the Herald gives the following account of the battle on Thurs day, near Manassas: On Wednesday morning, 27th inst., at about It o’clock, Gen. Taylor’s brigade, of Major General Siocum’a division oi the army of the Potomac, consisting of the First, Second, Third and Fourth New Jersey regiments, were ordered to proceed to Manassas by rail from their camp near Fort Ellsworth, Alexandria. The brigade arrived at Bull Run bridge about 7 o’clock in the morning. The troops landed and crossed the bridge with as little delay as possible, and marched towards Manassas. Af ter ascending the hill emerging from tire valley of Bull Run, they encountered a line of the enemy’s skirmishers, which fell back before them. The brigade marched on in the direc tion of Manassas, not seeing any of the enemy, until within range of she circular series of for tifications around the Junction, when heavy ar tillery was opened upon them from ail direc tions. The enemy was concealed within the earthworks, and the brigade having no artille ry or cavalry—the artillery and cavalry of the division not having yet arrived from Newport News—Gen. Taylor retired beyond the range of the enemy’s guns to the rear of a sheltering crest of ground, where he was attacked by a brigade of rebel infantry, and a sharp musketry fire was kept up for about twenty minutes, when the General, perceiving a large cavalry force advancing towards his left rear, apparent ly with the intention of cutting off his retreat by Bull Run bridge, retired by way of Black burn’s Ford. Crossing the ford, he was pur sued by the rebel horse artillery, who fired into him, occasioning considerable loss. General Taylor was wounded very severely in the leg, and it is thought that amputation will be neces ry. His son, Lieut. Taylor, aid-de-camp, was also wounded. Several other officers were killed and wounded. Among the former was Lieut. V/m. 11. Plume, who was killed by a cannon bail, his head being entirely severed from the body. The brigade retreated in all haste towards Fairfax, followed by the enemy, who persued them beyond Centerville. Oar loss is said to be very great in killed, wounded and missing ; but our informant is unable to give an accurate account. There are a variety of reports as to the force of the enemy. A surgeon says that he saw three Brigadiers and one Major General, thu3 infer ring that a whole division of the enemy were engaged; others, that the infantry which was there was only dismounted cavalry of General Stuart’s, about three thousand strong, with a couple of horse batteries. Taylor’s brigade did not number more than fifteen hundred men. There were but few offi cers engaged, a great number having been cap tured in previous engagements. The eleventh Pennsylvania cavalry are report ed to have acted very cowardly on the appear ance of the enemy in the neighborhood of Man assas. It is said that they put spur to their horses and “skedaddled,” and that the artillery cut the traces of their horses and followed them. ADDITIONAL DETAILS. We copy the additional details from the Washington Star: The cannonading heard nearly rli day was that of an engagement between Seanton’s brigade, of Gen. Cox’s division, andalorceot the rebels, considerably outnumbering them, at Bull Run, the contest i g for the possession of the rail road bridge at that poin*. We believe that the rebels retained possession of it at nightfall. The main engagement of yesterday, however, was that of Hooker’s division with a consider able rebel force at Bristow station. It appears that tbc movement of the enemy on Friday from the south bank of the Rappahan nock, via Jeffersonton, in the direction of Little Washington, was actually designed to'brow the most ol the rebel army across the Rappa hannock at the base of the Blue Ridge. This was done, and it is this morning ascertained here that it was yesterday morning probably for the most part massed at or near White Plains, in the valley between the Blue Ridge and Bull Run, ranges seven or nine miles northeast of Warrenton. At an early hour yesterday morning Hooker’s division (doubtless despatched to that point by General Pope on account of the affair there of the night before) came up with a large rebel force about Bristow Station, with whom he had a heavy engagement, lasting nearly all day. In the course of it Hooker drove the enemy step by step back to the vicinity of Manassas Junc tion. Our total loss In killed, wonnded and missing in the day’s engagement there was about three hundred. General Pope is said to regard the affair as a signal Union success. One of the New York batteries belong ing to Sturgis’ corps, under Captain Van Putcamer, was at Manassas on Tuesday night, and lost four cr six pieces in the fight with the Confederates, being surrounded and having neither infautry nor cavalry support, The twelfth Pennsylvania cavalry escap.cl or .skedad dled and came to Alexandria with few missing, about nine o’clock last night. They behaved very badly. On Wednesday (yesterday) morn ing early, General Taylor’s brigade, first, sec ond, third and fourth New Jersey volunteers, of Major General Slocum’s division of the Ar my oi tLo Futomai], wa caL by rail to Ala nassas. The troops landed at Bull Ruu bridge and marched to Manassas, on approaching which place they met a line of rebel skirmishers, who fell back before them. The brigado continued its march, and on coming within the circle ot fortifications at the Junction, which they had no idea was occupied, a heavy concentrated fire of artillery was opened upon them from three different directions. General Taylor had no artillery or cavalry—that of the division not having" arrived from the peninsula, and was consequently obliged to retire out of range be hind a sheltering ridge. At length seeing a large force of rebel cavalry making toward Bull Run bridge, with the evi dent intention of intercepting his retreat, Gen. Taylor withdrew his troops across .Blackburn’s Ford. To this point the enemy pursued him with horse artillery, pouring cauister into his ranks with some damage—wounding among others, the General, severely, and his son slight ly, and killing Lieut. Plume, of 2d New Jersey regiment. A large portion of Taylor’s New Jersey brig ade was captured at Fairfax station by the rebel cavalry, some five hundred of whom were seen between Centreviile and Fairfax Ccfhrt House on Thutsday noon, and are supposed to be the same who made the above capture. WIIAT THE TRIBUNE SAYS. General Taylor, upon discovering that the enemy had Hanked him, and that his whole command were in danger of being taken pris oners, ordered a retreat. After having retreated a mile or two, General Taylor discovered a ravine in which lie thought he could conceal his iroops until reinforcements arrived. But he hardly got his men fairly in their hiding place when he found himself nearly surrounded by the enemy. A strong body of cavalry-men were on his left, guarding one entrance to the river, and a battery of artillery was brought to bear upon his right, raking his entire brigade, fhe tiring from this battery made terrible havoc in the ranks. General Taylor himself, his son, on his staff, and his nephew were wounded. Ot course, nothing but a still fur ther retreat was in order, and last ev nine the wearied and decimated brigade rested in Fairfax. About four hundred citizens at Fairfax left tbai town hastily on the appearance of eight or ten rebel cavalrymen, who accidentally strayed io that neighborhood, and exposed them selves to view. Two whole regiments of our infantry also ran at the sight of these fif teen cavalrymen, throwing their guns away, aud skedaddling as fast as spurs to their horses could get them away. Their only excuse is, that they supposed "that there were more reb els in tho rear of that fifteen who appeared on 1 ice arm. • I learn Pom another source that the Captain of one of our batteries ran away, leaving six pi, ta s < ut of eight in the hands of the enemy, a too easy prey,not a gun having been fired. Near ly the whole of the com maud of this brave (?) oaj -aiu followed their leader in his hasty aud inglorious tetreat, but those tew who remained behind nobly using the two remaining guns with coßfldtiable effect. The latest news which 1 close my letter is, that the rebels arfe certainly advancing in strength ; tbe purpose is first, to break every means of communication between Washington aud Pope, then to march straight on the capi tal. Every bridge on the railway is destroyed ; the rebels hold every strategic point within the centre, and are doubtless within the mountains with their whole army. ■ 4* The Wak to End bv Spring.—The New York Herald thinks the war can easily be ended by next spring. It eaysc In order to make sure of the desired result, our arccv will cot take the offensive till it is iuilv recruited, and the six hundred thousand new troops swell it to a million by the first of November next. By the same time the iron chad gunboats will have been finished, and the mailed licet will number some fifty vessels, sufficient to capture Charleston, Savannah, and every port on the Southern seaboard, during the winter months, when such operations are more practicable, in consequence of the mnder temperature. These invincible vessels, more over, eau penetrate the interior of the country by tne water courses, and aid the movements .of our armies in the Gulf Stales. The armies put in motion by the first frost will sweep in such overwhelming force over Virginia and the entire South mat effective resistance will be impossible, and the rebel torces will be all sur rounded and captured or disorganized and dis persed, so that by the middle of January the rebellion will have received its death blow, and the republic wti! have vindicated its title of “one and indivisible.” A Washington despatch says : Hoc. Reverdy Johnson gives rather a discouraging account Ot the prospect of holding New Orleans. Tlie Indian War In iriiiinegota. The Chippewa* Rising—The Village of Xew Ulm burned —More Murders — Proclamation of (lov, Ramsey. The accounts from the frontier Of Minin oia show that an led.■>•? war has been inaugurated, which sinks int” Insignificance all the other Indian wars vl - h have occurred in this ’’-un try for thirty : ~ The Slonx lodi.-.-a who began the war, >- h now l!ireut ■' > Bo joined by the Chipp y’s. The latest intelli gence is contained in the following despatch : St. Paul, Minn, Aug. 2(1.—1 he latest dates from New Ulm state that on Saturday night the village wa3 mostly burned up. An arrival from Crow Wing direct, brings the intelligence that Hole in-the Day, the great Chippewa chief, has issued a proclamation that he would not be responsible for the conduct of the Indians after Tuesday, and earning the whites to leave tbe country before that time. Hole-in-tlie- Day had sent a message to Com missioner Dale and Judge Cooper to come and make a treaty. The Chippewa agent, Walker, against whom complaints have been made by the Chippewa?, it is reported, has committed suicide in a fit of insanity. The Chippewa difficulty following so closely upon the Sioux road causes great alarm. The northern part of the State is making earnest applications for military aid. Despatches from Gen. Shibley, on the 25th, state that he arrived at St. Paul ou the 22d, and has been at l ively engaged in affording all pos sible aid to -he beleaguered villages. Major Fowler, with fifty mounted men, made a reeonnoissance at Fort Ridgeiy. on the route of the previous day, and returned to St. Peters at three o’clock on the morning of the 25tb, bringing the bodies of several women who had been killed. Within twenty miles of St. Petem he reports that the destruction of property is beyond calculation. The Indians attacked New Ulm on Saturday. The fight continued until late In the evening. Nothing has been heard from there since Gen. Shibiey asked for a’full regiment to be at cnee sent up, armed and equipped. He thinks a larger force will be needed before the Indians are subdued, as they may have four or five thousand warriors to meet sooner or later. Major Crans, of St. Cloud, writes to the Governor that a committee of reliable citizens appointed to visit the scene of the recent mur ders, had just returned. They went as far as Pineville, and found that some two hundred persons had been killed in the vicinity of that place and Norway Lake. The Governor is receiving painful petitions for aid to pirotect t he lives and property in Stearns, Meeker and MonongaUela counties. Many persons had been driven from their homes, leaving their crops bat partially, har vested. Arrivals in this city from New Ulm report, as usual, shocking scenes, too horrible to recount. A. J. Voorhces writes as follows : It is well known that dissatisfaction has ex isted in the various tribes for some weeks past, in consequence of the delay of the Government in making the annual payment; but no one dreamed of a well-organized and systematically arranged outbreak, embracing tribes wliiea have ever been hostile to each other. This fact, in connection with circumstances which have come to my knowledge within the past few days, convince me that it is a part of the plan of the great rebellion. Major Galbraith writes from Fort Ridgeiy to the Governor: All the Sioux Indians are up in arms, and in discriminately murdering every white person, and devastating the country.

More than one hundred per sons are known to be killed, and we believe at least one thousand are. Neither age nor sex are spared. Testa for Cosifederate Notes, In addition to the tests furnished by us some days ago, we annex the following, some of which arc new : [From tbc Richmond Examiner.] In the hundred dollar bills the sailor on the lower left corner of the genuine notes wears a black belt, with the buckle upon it very distinct; in the. counterfeit bills the belt is white and the buckle not plainly seen.— In the centre picture the mule attached to the cotton press, in the genuine bill, is less distinct though larger than in the counterfeit, and pre sents his head to the front; in the counterfeit he “changes his base,” and presents a aide view. On the ground between the sailor’s feet, in the genuine is a broken stone—a separata one by it; in the counterfeit there are three seperat'e stones, the centre one smaller than the others. At the upper right corner of the genuine notes, the white ground appears through the shading of the medallion work ; in the counterfeit the entire work is dark. This will suffice for the hundreds. In the fifty dollar bills, several white spots appear just over the figures fifty, in the medal lion work at the upper right corner of the genuine bills ; there are none in the counterfeit. The outside of this medallion work in the coun terfeit, ie covered by a running net work ; in the genuine there is none. In front of, and at tached to the chest, in the centre picture of the genuine note, there is a pad-lock; there is none in the counterfeit. In the genuine note the head of the man in the lower left corner of the bills is nearly bald, a little hair is combed down smoothly on tbe right temple ; in the counter feit bills a full head of hair’ is represented, the hair on the right temple being slightly dis hevelled , as if blown by a puff of wind. Twenty dollars bills.—ln the counterfeit bills the figure 2, on the right side, is cut by a fine line, entirely separating the tail of the fignre from the main body of it; in the genuine tbe fignre 2is perfect. In the genuine bills the hat on the head of the man in the lowt r left corner of the note, sits more upon the top of the Imad than in the counterfeit; in the counterfeit the hat seems to be thrown more towards the back of the neck. [From the Macon Telegraph.] The notes mostly counterfeited are the 20’s, 50’s and 100’s, of the issues of Sept. 2, 1801— lithographed by Hoyer & Ludwig, Richmond. In all the genuine issues of these notes there is a shield in the upper left corner, the right up per corner ol which is placed in the centre be tween the letter N in months directly over it. In the counterfeit the corner of the. shield is placed directly under the right down stroke of the letter N. In the genuine 20’s there is a very small ship on the left of the large one in the centre vig nette, which is omitted in the counterfeit. Also, between the NX on the right lower corner are two hearts separated and pointing towards each other in the genuine, but in the spurious only one, or if two, run together. In the genuine 50’s the head of the female between Confederate Slates, is near the centre, between the two words. In the counterfeit the head is placed so as to touch the letter E in Confederate. On the left hand lower corner is a vignettee with two heads. In the genuine the hair is close to the head ; in the counterfeit the hair on the left of the right figure is spread out in three small ques In the 100’s there is a representation of a mule working a press in the centre vignette, between a wagon loading and tha press. In the genuine tbe male is quite indistinct and diffi cult to make out, but in the counterfeit is quite plain. The paper of al! tbe genuine notes is of poor quality, but in the counterfeit it is of a fair quality of back note paper. Tnc New Rebel Steamer “No. 290.”—Ac cording to the following statement, furnished by the London correspondent of the Dublin Evening Mail, the new “rebel” steamer “ No. ‘300,” WUlob H.d Jut ■ •*-- ™ i 11 slip, is an iron clad and a very formidable ves sel. It is not unlikely she is the steamer an nounced at Mobile by the telegraph: She can steam frdm 10 to 18 knots an hour; is perfectly seaworthy; lor all practical purposes invulnerable, and will prove to any vessel she may* encounter as formidable an antagonist as our own Wartior, the boat of the British navy. This is the "No 290" as to w hose whereabouts Uniou cruisers have with reason betrayed such anxiety. It bad been known lor some time that a large and powerful iron vessel was construct ing at the d‘ ck-yard by Messis. Laird & Birk enhead ; but monsters of the deep are so much tbe order of the day at that establishment that no one troubled hi- head much about this new production, or care to remark the great thick ness of the plates which were being used. At the very last moment the Federal author! ties seem to‘have bad their suspicion aroused for the Tuscarora was dispatched to keep watch in the neighborhood of the dock where she lay, and the southern coast of Ireland was also strictly watched. “No. 290,” meanwhile, ap prised ol what was going on, dropped down the river quietly one day and steamed out into the tuv, nominally for her trial trip—with a party of "ladies and musicians on board. Instead, however, of returning to mooring at Birken head, where she would have been kept in Cur ance’vile by the Tuscarora, she quietly landed qj. passengers, avoiding Cork, It sttrlord, bcc., in the neighborhood ot winch she might have of sumstking not at all to her advantage. “No 290” steamed round by Londonderry and Donegal, and was joined off the west coast of Ireland by the steamer which had previously ; sai cd having on board the armament intended for the “Ironsides.” Negroes —At the recent public sales in Au „ngUi a girl aged 17 year-, brought *l,- 410. A b .23 years old, $1,485, a negro man 40 years old, $990. W. H. Harlbert, who was lor a long time im prisoned a; Richmond, under suspicion of be ing a spy, aud who finally released, has turned up in Washington. What (j,c Yankees said before the last Battle. Ou Thursday, the 23th of August, (he New York Times said : lkc rebels now Rtand in our front, number ing at the outside, 125.000, while to meet them j we have already 200 000, which win very speedi ly be increased to 250,000 or 300 000, and can bo increased, if necessary, to 400,000 men. Our position is strong, and although tho enemy seems to be making desperate attempts to turu our flacks, or break our line, there is not oue chance in ten of bis achieving any important success. By destroying the bridges across the Rappahannock, wo have rendered their passage of that river impossible, and have secured for ourselves all the time needed for preparation. The remainder of the army of tho Potomac will speedily take its position, and then without waiting to he attacked or putting himself upon the defensive even for a day, the country ex pects General Hal leek to put himself at the head of this magnificent and irresistible national army, and march over the rebels into Rich mond.’’ We beg the public to take notice, says the Richmond Dispatch, of* what this writer says with regard to this army. It is already, he says, 200,000 strong. It has been beaten, routed, driven like chaff before the wind. It is, at this moment, either hiding behind its ramparts at Alexandria, or cowering under shelter of its gunboats at Oeeoquan, or flying fo£ life before the avenging squadrons of Stuart and Robert son, or the fleet-footed infantry of Jackson and Longstreet. Let us, then, hear no whining, no whimpering, no excuses for cowardice, on the plea of being overwhelmed by numbers. That has always been tho apology for Yankee defeat heretofore. Let it no longer be made, since here is a boast that they outnumber us two to one. To the foregoing we may add the following beautiful specimen of Yankee gasconade, which appears in rich contrast with the capture of Morgan and the present position of Kirby Smith on tbe banks of the Ohio. It is fr mi the Nashville (Yankee) Union of the 29th ultimo : Doubtless we are on the eve of important events in this State. The rebels k :7e evacuated Chattanooga, and are pushing on to Knoxville. Gen. Morgan’s present position at the Gap is impregnable against auy force the rebels may bring against him, and we believe that we shall soon hear of the wiping out of Gen. Kirby Smith. The rebels arc in a desperate strait, for supplies, and will soon be compelled to light. Everybody has been looking eagerly for news from the vicinity of Chattanooga for several days, but tbe news delays coming ; and we are still looking. The rebels hive crossed Tennes see river, and our divisions are on tho alert, eager to give them battle, and it is hard!}’ pos sible that an engagement can long be delayed. The rebels have been exulting for some days in tbe belief that Gen. Morgan was effectually hemmed in at the Gap, but as Gob. Nelson has pushed forward with a large force in that direc tion, we think that matters look exceedingly unfavorable for tbe rebels. It is certain that they bare no force comparable to Buel’s in dis cipline an 1 efficiency, and we feel confident that he will scatter them to the winds whenever he engages with th*3 rebel legions.
