The ball was opened al our cent. r.

and the tiring extended uot ouly up ibe river toward tfi 'el, but down toward the railroad bridge, where we two hills across the river.

During Saturday a most daring dash was made by Eebel cavalry Within onr lines, resulting in nothing less than the cap ure of Pope's headquarters, making a persoual loss to Gen.

Of this daj'sraid the following oetails are given: Some slir was caused in camp and a thousand times more in ashington, I find by a sudden raid of '50 guerrillas upon Cation's station, under cover of the night.

The devoted band dashed iu upon our small collection of men and wagons, and stampeding a lot of sutlers servants and teamsters, burned seven wagons ran off a number of horses, and took about a hundred prisoners.

Mr. V. H. Hawes olTered the following resolutions, which were adopted We, citizens of the 7th Ward of the City Of Brooklyn, assembled for the purpose of giving support, and encouragement to the Government the United St ites in its honest endeavor to overcome a wicked and wanton assault against its lawlul authorities, do solemnly pledge "our lives, our fortunes, aud our sacred honor," to that holy end. And it is by us Resolved, That we kno but two parties in this lest.patnols traitors, and Ibat whoever fails in this crisis to bring to the Government a cheerful and hearty eupport, either wl his light arm, bis money, or his voice, is a irai'or deserving of a trBitor's doom.

Resolved, That Hie call by our President for more troops. Is timely and wise, and that it increases our railb in his determination to maintain the power ard dignity ol this Government at every cost and sacrifice; aud that we urge upon the President tbat he pursue a vigorous policy, using all the power with which Congress has wisely clothed him, so that a apeedy end may be male of the rebellion and its wicked authors. Resolved, That in this war we recognize the old Issue between Democracy and Aristocracv, and that if we fail io crush the traitors who would be our tyrants, Democratic Institutions in ibis and in every olher nation of the earth will be imperilled, if not forever lost. And that it is therefore our sacred duty to earnestly, persistently and courageously devote ourselves to the work before us as long as one rebel remains to plot tbe overthrow of our liberties. Resolved, That all attempts at cimpromlse and conciliation having failed, it is now needful that this war be made terribm in its earnestness, radical ia its measures iind thorough in i's effects believing as we do, that emly by such a course can the mad career of Southern fannies be arrest and our beloved country saved from ruin In view of all which, it is therefore Resolved, Thai all irue and loval men of thn 7ih Compliitnts about, the Manner in which ihe Militia JKiiroMweiu lsJMade.

Tv (he Editor of tfts Erooklyii Eagle. On Saturday noon an infirm, aged man, extremely deaf and nearly blind, made his appearance on our block calling at each house, and on reaching my store he sai.i bn called for names relative to lhe iSilltla enrollment. Mr. Edl or, myself and neighbors wish to know ir such an utterly incompetent person has really received the appoini went of enrolling officer. According to his own siatement and book he got but one nanao from each of the two houses on either aide of me while 1 know there arc Irom eight to twelve men.

We all I think want to see this dra'ting executed if ri quired, but we want it done fairly. Now Itsirtkcsmethata smart, intelligent young or middle aged man is niuch more capable, and would get twice the number of names tbat an imbecile old man almost in his second childhood could, who cm do tittle else than scare the female portion of our families by his quasi autloiiiy. Yours truly, A Chues.

Ilow to aid Recruiting. To if Editor oj' t7ie Brookly7i Eaylc: The exertions made by you for the last three weeks ii worked a wonderful change in ihe recruiting of men for our armies Through your labors we have had the whole county aroused lo the most intenre activity. Boumv money hos been raited nlmcst without and the work has gone forward most gUrriously. And now we have oi.n more week remaining for this work of recruiting. Lei it bo a week of gieater labor in this cause if possible.

Our regimenlB In many Instances are ready to volunteer their services for a portion of the nine months draft or second quota A few more men are warned for the filling up of the first eiuota; let us have alt of ifceee men as volunteers and uot by conscription. I would suegesl, for the purpose of pushing forward this vi lunieer work, aud creating a deeper and more Intense inlereet in this matter, that nnr stores close at 2 P. M. each duy this week; ulso lhat two or three bauds of music be employed, proci'ssiona be formed anil march through our streets, and by ihe means onliven the whole affoir, create a martial inspiration among our young pntriotic men, and in this manner aid the good work. We want men to fight that are willing, and not those who are forced.

We are now a', the must critical period of this ut.hely rebellion. Let it be, therefore, strorg and willing beans that shall cruh It, and thus tlana before the world as a nation of free men, made so by the fiue use of our own voluntary Tattn, JiDd then only, car we be called the noblest aod greales; nation of the world.

Broeklyn, August 25, 1SC2. Associations lor Procuring Substitutes. To lhe Editor of the JSrooklytt Earlc The attack of your correspondent "Citizen" on the Kmgs County Army Substitute Association, which appeared in yr ur issue of Friday asf, proves there are some people so pe sonally corrupt and dishonest tnat they etaunot believe In the innocence or honesty of their the ir fellow citizens. The parties who join our association are those who are unfortunately prevented going to the war by circumstances which would compel ihem to find a substitute in case of a draft it is absurd suppose those men would wish to oiscournge enlistments and thus bring on the dreaded dratt but not wishing to make this defense a means of advertising the Association, I will leave your corres. pendent's calculations of the benefits, hu distortion of the facts and misrepresentation of our intentions unanswered, if be should become a member he will be sur prieed to find we have a legal and honest association of men who would scorn anonymously to stigmatize a fellow citizen with the odium of treason.

23. Englishmen in Sell Defence. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle In your ifsue of Saturday the 22d inst. you are pleased to make some remarks about Englishmen which are erroneous, uBjusl and open to censure. Yon must have been Btrangely preoccupied not to have been aware of ins projection of the "British Legion" immediately after the commencement or this great national struggle.

Its records show one regiment complete and the nucleus of another formed when the Trent affair created so great a feeling of animosity to Englishmen that the organization languished, and the eueen's proclamation inducing the leading merchants to withdraw their countenance (on which tbey bad entirely depended) they disbanded nearly tbe entirety, however, entering other Resiments where they have done good service. But, sir, what are Irish or Scotch Regiments but British Regimen's. They are as much so aB Maine, or Verment, or Onio, or Indiana EeglmentB are American Regiments. The individuals composing ihem had allthe rights, privileges and im nunities of their fellow citizenB of tbe same birth place, and all offices from the highest to the lowest were equally within their grasp; and here as shown recently io the claim of tens of thousands of Irishmen for protection from BritiBh Consuls it is apparent to what country they deem themselves to belong. Tbe Idea of some of the Irish Regiments being considered BritiBh may seem absurd to lhe superficial, but there is no alternative other than presenting the anomaly qf a Government encouraging treason on the one hand, and going to war to extirpate treason, on the other This is somewhat after the fashion of Hudibras Compounding for sins they are inclined to, By damning those you have no mind to.

I am, Sir an old Englishman, a citizen of Brooklyn, of longer date than yourself and my eldest son, with four other sons of Englishmen, have been doing service for twelve months past in a reprlment in which there are nnn Another Meeting in the Ninth Ward Another meeting was held in the 9th ward last night, at tbe b.t'l on the corner of Grand avenue and Atlantic and at which a large number nssembled The prlneiiMl speakers were Gen Spinola and Del Vrcchio. Doth of whom were received with much enthusiasm. Their remarks were tiraelv, and will no doubt have the desired effect. Fust Lieutenant Eugene Bitri was present to obtain enlistments. A fine brasj band lept its arousing strains to wake the en thu eiasm of the audience.

om the lines. For this reason reliable information obtained with diliiculty, and it is only by collecting ard comparing the different accjunts that an accurate idea of the present position of atlaira cut be ascertained. The rebel generals, it is known, have massed their armies with the design rf overwneloiinK Pope's forces, and then, tailing upon McClelbm 3nd in the event of success, marcning upoa the capital. The tebel journals have long been clamoring ior aggressive war, aud it looks as though an attempt was beirjg made to carry out this policy. Pope's advance on Culpepper Court Houa2 was made with a view diverting attention from McClellan's movements and d'wmz him an opportunity ot ic iriDg from Harrison's Landing, i'nis has been successfully accomplished.

On Sttur day week the battle of Ctd.r Mountain w.u fought. Io this tiaht our forces were successful, ana Jackson tell hack to Culpepper, wheri he waited until jrtired by icicfor. ements froa Richmond. The wbcle rebel army has been sent on under General Lee, and now numbers beoweea two hundred and two hundred and fifty thousand men. Lee commands the main body, while the right aud left wings are under command of Jackson and Magruder respectively.

Pope having learned of this movement, fell back to the api dan, and finally to the Rappahannock, hotly pressed by the rebel force. The two armies now stand face to taee on the right and left banks the latter river. The object of the rebels i3 to force a general engagement before McClellan's troops can be brought up; Pope's purpose is to hold the rebels in check until the conjunction can be eflected. The iormer have made repeated efforts to cross the river without success." It id believed that Pope secured the time necessa jy tor McClellan's arrival, and in that case it li believed that the rebels will not attempt to cross in the face of the army which must be by thU time on the left bank ot the Rappahannock. The operations of tbe last our days are thu describ ed by a correspondent of the Tribune FIRST DAY'S SKIRMISH, WF.DXF.SHAY.

On Wednetday, the 20tb about II o'clock the Eebels drove in our cavalry piefceta at the river, in th neighborhood of Brandy fetation, between Culpepper and the Eappahannoct The cavalry of the 1st Pennsylvania charged upon the enemy, killing seven or eigat, and drove thtm back into the woods, a brigade of "nfautry renjamed on the opposite side of the river, and the remainder of the day all our forces were drawn up id llns of battle, but no lurther engagement took place. 6F.COKI) CAY. On Thursday morning, Ave regiments of the enemy cavalry and inlaniry, crossed trie river on a pontoon The Seeond Ward Aroused Wass Meeling of Citizens The Democracy on Deck. Last evening a large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of the 2d Ward was held at Tammany Hall, York Street. The utmost of patriot and unanimity of purpose was manifested throughout the course of the proceedings.

Indeed were there not a patriot spirit latently abi ding in the breasts of those who attended the meetirjg, the stirring words of Mr. Veeder must suiely tave evoked it. Ex Alberman Pell was called to chair, and the Hon. James Darcy acted as Secretary. Id compliance with the request of the chair, Mr.

Veeder addressed the meeting in terms urgent and eloquent. The pressure upon our space prevents their reproduction. Mr. Darcy moved the adoption of the following resolutions, which was agreed to: Whereas, The citizens of the Second Ward being convened, for the purpose of taking such action in the present hour of onr country's danger, as the exigencies of the occasion require, are determined that on this as on all other occasions, the citizens of this Ward shall not be wanting in duty or patriotism. Whereas, Our country has in Its wisdom again called on us to supply more men for tbe purpose of speedily suppressing this unholy rebellion, and in our opinion the call thus made is both necessary and judicious, inasmuch as it will save life and property, and Booner lead to success.

Therefore, Resolved, That notwithstanding our former exertions we again pledge ourselves to use all means in our power to procure volunteers to fill up onr ejuota required from this county, instead of resorting to draft Eesolved, That the Second Ward, although small in numbers, and having already sent a number to the war, yet we are not exhausted in men or means, nor faltering in zeal or spirit. ReBOlved, That a seperate fund be raised for the purpose of supporting the families of those who may volunteer from this ward. Sup. Duffy moved that a commiltee to solicit subscriptions for the purposes of the war, be appointed, and the motion was agreed to. The chairman appointed the following named gentlemen to act as such committee Messrs.

S. A. Roberts, Andrew B. Lindsay, Daniel Mc Laughlin, George Colligan, James Darcy, Jas. Darcy, James Duffy, James Buckley, Wm.

H. Harris, and the chairman, E3ward Pell. After the transaction of some informal busi of Brooklyn, should this night, either enroll their names for the defence of their country, or give liherally of their money in furtherence of the same holy cause. The Eev. Hiram P.

Crozier of Huntington, L. 1., addressed the meeting at some length, and was succeeded by Rev. Mr. Inskip, Cbaplaia of the 14th Regiment, who was received with deaf, ening cheers. We are sorry that we have not space to publish Mr.

Inskip's address in full, but the following extract showing what he thinks of Gen. McClellan and the Army of the Potomac will be read with interest. He said 1 don't know how this war wis commenced and I dont that I care a great deal I think 1 speak in tbat tbe sentiment of a great many around me. I don't how this war is being conducted aid if I did this is not the place to speak of it. I only know that I have confidence in one George B.

McClellan (great cheering) and I now tell the people at home that the greatest injury tbey can do to tbat army is to strike down the ufloerjee of McClellan. (Cheers.) I tell yon people, that he is tbe idol of that army, so far as my observation goes. (Cheers That is a great fact, aud people at home should, be very careful bow they make insinuations in relation to the conduct of this war. It is one of the most unfavorable tendencies of the times, that we cannot let those who are responsible for the conduct of the war, alone, but that their every act must be canvassed and erUicizrd at every little ward and town meeting. The speaker deprecated the idea criticizing the conduct of the war, the more especially when it was done by men who never smelt, gunpowder and who Dever meant to smell it.

(Cheers.) The army of the Potomac is destined to be the glory of this land. (Cheers.) There will be a point in the history of this war, and there will be a position which will be proudly filled by that glorious man, whom I delight to Dame, George B. McClellan. The clouds are over him now, hut he will loom up again. Wait a little longer, brethren wait a little longer boys; there is a good lime coming, ma what 1 snv to you.

(Great cheering long continued.) We have not waited as long vet as it took two of tbe strongest uowers in the world to reduce one Fortress. (Cheers.) The speaker paid a glowing compliment, in conclusion, to the gallant Fourteenth, and was loudly applauded. He was succeeded by Judge Morris, Capt. Rafferty, of the Excelsior Brigade, and others. A subscription was taken up with the following result SUBSCRIPTIONS.

The particulars of this affair hsve already been sent you by another corresnnnrlont uiiue, uuu uuiil uurin? ine previous night, between the Rappahannock and Waterloo Stations, almost walking into the masked batteries of Gen. Sigel, which opened upon them with canister and grape, mow. irg them down by scores. It is reported that no les than 700 of the enemy were killed and wounded, and 2oOd captured.

The remainder retreated in great conrij From Charles Baxter we have received $50, (al. ready acknowledged,) torty five of which' has been paid to nine recruits who have enlisted with Capt. orjes. When tbe remaining live is paid out we shall publish the names in fall. Of Mr.

Rope's $50 for the first ten men who shall have enlisted immediately after the twenty above recorded we have paid 815. Of the $50 from the same gentleman for the first ten recruits on Monday morning in Colonel Tourdan'B regiment, we have paid to six men 30. Of the S150 contributed by the friends of Lieut. Richardson for the first thirty men who shall enlist under him, we have already paid out $35 to seven volunteers. We have heretofore acknowledged the receip'.

of $200 from a patriotic lady (Mrs. H. P. Smith,) to be distributed as follows To the first ten men who shall enlist in the Fourteenth regiment on Monday, (100); to the first ten in the 1st Long Is. land reeiment, the same amount.

The first mentioned $100 still remains in our possession. The second has been paid to Lieut. Nelson Cross, and is acknowledged in the receipt which follows: Eeckcttikg Station 1st L. I. I August 25, 1S62.

)' Xa.Anden one hundred dollars, contributed by Mrs. II. P. Smith to the Long Island Evi' ment, in aid of recruiting, and to be expended paying xttf JountT of not over ten dollars each to recall's enlisted between this and the 27th of which a return will be made to the Eagle Office. Nelson Cboss, Lieut.

Col. 1st L. I. Recruiting Officer. The bounties have not been called for in most eases not because recruits have not been secure out for the reason that the necessary surgical Ac, has not yet been made.

Wnen the several sums are disposed of we shall publish the names of the recruits receiving it. When the money sent us is designed for a special purpose, we shall endeavor to carry ont the intention of the subscriber. It was oar design at the outset to use the money received in the manner that in our judgment should bej. sab seive the end in view. Ooportnnities ocjur where more service em be done than by offering special bounties, and it was to tike advantage" of such opportunities that we believed we could beet subserve the purpose we all have at heart.

The need of money to cover the incidental expenses of the recruiting offices is a continual em. barrassment. By a faithful officer at times more can he done with $10 than can be effected by five times the amount in a particular direction. Bu'. let the good woik be continued and be pushed onward in every way.

It will require all our liberality and al! our energy to save Brooklyn from the humiliation of conscription and the difficulties and dangers attending it. A paragraph in this paper written in no unkindly spirit with reference to the part English born citizens have taken in this war, has called out two communications which we publish elsewhere. We wcnld publish them with greater satisaction than we now feel if the statements made were still mere creditable to the parties concerned. Our correspondents state that an attempt was made to organize an English legion at the commencement ot the war. The reason given for its failure is worty of note.

The English merchants of New York were ptohibited from subscribing money for its advancement because of the Queen's proclamation declaring England neutral in this quarrel. Is it not a very questionable sort of patriotism which is affected by the proclamation of a foreign ruler Is it creditable to the merchants of New York of English bitth that they still acknowledge allegiance elsewhere Is it creditable that there was not enough of them to provide means for equipping the English legion willing to take the responsibility of American citizenship They enjoy the protection of this government they have made fortunes among us. Is there nothing due from them in return at a time like the present 1 Nor is it without significance that one of the champions of Englishmen, whose communi. cations we publish, signs himself "a non citizen." The attempt to take credit for what the natives of Ireland and Scotland have done in this war by claiming both as "Britishers," will be repelled by both classes, and especially by the former. It i very true that the English bom citizens among us are a very industrious and peaceful class it is quite creditable to tbcm that they are prosperous.

But it is not all of life to make a living, and it would be still more creditable to Englishmen if to the mil8 to which they lay claim, they could have added that when war broke in upon the peaceful avocation of the nation no class were more prompt in coming to the rescue of the Government under which they have en jojed so many advantages. We believe that there are Englishmen here willing to make as many sacrilices at the present time as any men union us, but we state the opinion of these uie i correctly when we say that they do not think that those under equal obligations have responded with equal promptness.

Its seriousness can hardly he estimated. It is taking the Rebel General into the confidence of Halleck, and may render it necessary to cnange the whole campaign. Whatever may be the position of the army one thing is pretty clear tbat the Rebels tire determined that whether we fight or not, it shall not be optionable if they can help it. They are making gigantic eflorts to bring the war to oar own door. Il is in our power to overwhelm them by our superior resources, and to do this the duty of the hour is to hurry on recruiting.

12th. The health of the regiment (taken as a whole) is good. We nave had a big scare," in rumors and reports, of yellow fever. To say that we have had no cases of this disease among us would he untrue, but we have had not a doen cases in the regiment and three fourths of these have recovered. I understand that among the workmen laborers employed on the government works here, the disea e.

or somethir.g very like it, has prevailed, and eight or ten have died. In all large bodies of men are be found some who lack judgment and stubbornly refuse to follow the counsels of wiser and more experienced beads and this, whether it ue in the shape of advice or orders, if such fatal results did not follow, it. would be amusing to know with what determination and ingeu uiiy many men violate every sauit uy order tbat is issued. I believe the majority of aggravated cises of sickness iu our regiments might clearlv be traced to indiscretion, if not a positive violation of these sanitary orders." We arrived here on the 12th of January. It was to us like a new world.

We had been suddciilv rem lved from the ice bound shore of Sew York and an inhospitable imprisonment on Governor's Island, to a land of perpetual summer. We were like children enjoying a holiday ana doubtless were guilty of impruddnces. Some of us spent too much tiaic in the water all of us cat too indiscriminately of fruit, and then necessity required hard dwellings, guard duties and ponce work under the rays of a burning sun clothed in heavy woolen garments infected for a Northern latitude. Wc numbered near 'MO men when we landed among these were some twenty five sick men who had contracted diseases at Governor's Island. Wo have lost by death up to this date, iwenlv five men four of these were of ihe number brought sick from tlovernor's Island.

1 think, Doctor, you will agree with me that God has been very gracious to us, anil that tak.rig all the circumstances in the case, (and many will simmSt themselves to jour mind as a medical man,) tae'iiumber of deaths have be en email, (if not disabuse my mied in your next letter.) We are here. Our regiment enlisted to go wherever sent, wc had no choice iu the matter in the wisdom of the powers that be, we were ordered here, this was to be the field of our action, not junction as may be foolishly supposed, and because we are here the star's and stripes proudly waves over this parlor the land of the free and the home of the si ive. Our uning here may be noted as a Pentecost, because ol the numerous and sudden conversions to the truth, "Uiat tne Uniin must and shall prevail," and even though we should be removed, we shall have the indelible impress of our mind behind us. I think 1 may safely s.i tiutt the fiijth has and is doing their duty, not only in holdinr. this important post, but in giving tone to a health; "ifnlon sen liuent." Our Col.

Morgan, in his new poiit of Com macdant of the post, is ably dischargino: important duties a terror to evil doers and a prai. tt.eui that do well. Capt. Shaurntian, of Co. Brook, is Norlb on recruiting service.

I should like y.u his acquaintance. I expect to see return with i many of tne Brooklyn boys. 1 suppose mat by middle of September we will be able to throw the dos. Ite ineinber me to the friends. Yours, Bass.

Ilsley. Koth gentlemen arc well qualified for the positions. Mr. Hun ley has labored hard and to a good purpose since the initiation of the movement to organize the brigade. hundred and twenty Englishmen and sons of Enjlismen.

There is scarcely a regiment in the State of New York, unless exclusively Irish or German, unrepresen ted particularly in the cavalry. The same may be said of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois while the Cornish and Welch miners of I'a. have contributed largely to the regiments of that State. In short, 1 am convinced that Englishmen, to the full ratio of their number, as compared with native Americans, are now in the field. I mean Englishmen as you mean them, exclusive of Irish or Scotch.

This class of citizens are unobtrusive on public notice they seldom enter Ihe political arena, and very rarely are applicants for high office, while in subordinate positions they are suught for and appreciated for industry, probity, and experience. I can point out twelve sons of three and four generations of American sires who have left Brook yn to escape the chance of serving their country Can you point out one Englishman who has done so Ax Ultra Union Man. To tfte Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Sir In your Saturdays' issue you mention having re eeived two or three communications from English born citizens, complaining of their native country being subject to insnlis undeserved, and of tbe necessity of conciliation amongst all classes. You say that undoubtedly there are Englishmen as well disposed as any other citizens, but as a body they have not manifested their good will as cordially. You also Bay you have no knowledge of a single English regiment having been raised, or any step taken by them for the security of tbe Government.

Your memory mtiBt have suddenly forsaken you, if you have forgotten the two Regiments of British Yolunteers that wa3 raised in New York at the commencement of the rebellion, which were slurred upon aud not allowed to go as British volunteers, but, as it was, nearly one hundred men joineel the 1st L. I. Yolunteers, and about 300 joined the 3Gtu N. which Regiment has suffered as much as any other in the service. Many also joined the 90ih N.

from the second organization. In one of the many battles before Richmond, in one company (Co. D), of the 1st I. Vol nteers, 17 Englishmen laid dead upon the field. The color beaieror the Bame Regiment (an Englishman), at the cr mmencement of tbe days fighting received a severe wound in the arm; he did not run, but bravely carried the flag until the regiment was ordered off the field, ify information is fre.m an officer io McClellan's army.

Thus, Mr. Editor, it is not those tbat spout and splath er about what tbey do and what ought to be done, that, do most. As lo their prosperity it is not gained by plundering tbe government, or meddling with political affairs; they have Bimply minded their own business, and if all others had done the same this once proud Republic would never have been bruuut to its present unhappy condition. By giving publicity to this you will much oblige. A Non Citizen.

The Military Riot at East New York. Tv ttie Editor of the Brooklyn Etgle ISO Fulton Aug. 2Sth, 1SG2.

Tnir.o DAY. On Friday, about 9 o'clock In the morning, several our batierits opened upon the enemv from this sidf? of the river, in the neighborhood ofthe Kappahannock Hail, road bridge. The rebels fled in consternation to tbe wood, the second shell bursting on one of their batteries, killing and wounding a large number. Several compa nies trom various regiments, under command of Lieut. Conway of the loath New York, were at work building forts on i lie other side of the Kappahanneck, when the enemy opened fire upon iheni, compelling them to retreat across the river, but with no loss.

The rebels shelled our camp nearly all day. About 8 o'clock in the afternoon Gen. igel ordered Col. Krysanowsky (acting Brigadier) to cross the river with his brigade. He did so, and drove the nem; 's pickets in.

About this time, Generals tigel.Schurz.siid liohlen crossed over in person, it was the 74lh Pennsylvania which drove their pickets. The latter were reinforced, andwiih overwhelming num. bers descended like an avalanche upon the 74th. wuica in lis turn was driven back, it is reported that the other regiments composing the brigade were sc.i'Uing in ano iher direction, and coula not arrive in time to support i This regiment was driven with confusion, to the liver, where a number jumped io and were drowned. Others were shot while swimming in tlie water.

A large number of them were also made prisoners. Tbe other regimeots of the brigade fell back to the river, which they crossed in safely. Gen. liihlen was struck in the breast by a rifle ball, while encouraging the 74th in their reireat. It is said that he was attiie head of tl.e regiment, where he fought bravely, resisting the enemy whenever a fevorable opportunity occurred, lhat lie had made three cbarges against overwhelming numbers, and mat while in the act of making ihe fourth with his sword raised in the air, and utterim; the words, "Come on bojt; let's try them once more;" "he was shot in the breast, as stated anove and insiantly expired.

Another brave man also received his death wound. While Capt. Bu.ll ol the 1st Artillery Reserves was shell irg the Kebels from his battery, a shell from the enemy burst direcily under his horse. Capt. Buefl's leg was broken iu two places by il, but from the effects of this he might have recovered il bis horse had not been instantly killed, which ialiing upon him, inflicted internal ir.jurics so se re, that he expired ten hours afterward.

II ia body was interred on Saturday last with military nonors. Captain But 11 was a very promising young officer. lie was to have been promoted to a colonelcy of artillery, and was well fitted lor that promotion, having fully deserved that rank from hie acknowledged bravery, prudence, and military qualifications. He wasa young man about years of age, aud was almost idollied by his command. When sufiering in the agony of death, he begged his frieuds not to grieve for him, and told the men of his battery to go forth to meet the enemy, and added, "Act and di as bravely as if 1 was wiih you." 1 believe that C'spmin liuell was nephew to C' liuell.

It is SRid that r.ur loss in killed and wouuded alone in the 74ih was over 110. FOUBTH lAY. Af early as clock A. our artillery, all along the hole line, opened upon the enemy from this side of tne lluppahannock. Firing first commenced near Bealton Station, and suon extended aloDg the whole line of the left wins.

The enemy promptly replied. For several hours ihls terrific firing continued on both sides, and was probably the heaviest artillery duel ever fuught on this continent. By 9 o'clock A. M. the firing somewhat abated on both sides, until it finally stopped as if by mutual agreement.

Shell was fired almost altogether" from boih sides, though now and ihen a solid shot, and rumor adds, piec ol raiiroud iron and large nails were intermingled among the shells of the Rebels. The Rappahannock Bridge on the Orange and Alexander railroad was blown up uud destroyed, after Uartauff's Brigade hod passed over. They were on the other side, supporting Capt. Matthews' 1st Pennsylvania Battery, when the Whole were recalled, and the biidge destroyed. The reason of this was that the late henvy rains had caused a freshet, and lhat the bridge moved slightly during the night.

About 4 o'clock in the afternoon firing again commenced, and lasted until dark, with what result to either party is unknown. At last accounts, affairs had not materially altered. The rebels were still endeavoring to crops the iiver without euccess. Of the Fourteenth (Iiiooklyu) the following mention ii made The 1 I 1. of the snine brigade, (IT itch's) wi're i t' Airnii.

Meeting ol the Mast Makers of the Navy Yard. At a meeting of the employees in the Mast Makers department of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, held on the 25th inst, for the purpose of providing means for the relief of those who mav go the war, (Francis Phillips in the chair, and Matthias Biuen, Secretary,) the following preamble and resolutions were read and unanimously adopted: Whereas, In order to speedily terminate the unholy rebellion now threatening the very existence of our Govcrnmet it is the duty of all to aid the Government and to induce by a liberal donation of money those to volunteer who are restrained through fear of leaving their families to suffer, therefore, Reselved, That we, the emplevyecs in the Mast Makers Department of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, do pledge ourselves lo paj to each employee of this department who shall enlist, a bonus of $20, and to the wife of each who goes to tho war the sum of $5 per week, with an addi lional elollar for each child. Resolved, That if the person so going to the war, bi unmarried, the above amount be paid to those who are depending upon him for support. Resolved, That if the person so going to the war bo unmarried and no one depending on hiin for support, shall receivo a bonus of $40. Resolved, That on the next pay day we commence the monthly payment of our day's pay into the hands or the Treasurer to form a fund for the above pnrpose, such payment to continue bo long as in the judgment or the Treasurer it may be necessary.

Resolved, That Mr. Tilus E. Dodge, the Master of this Department, be declared Treasurer. On motion, the meeting adjourned to meet at the call of tbe Chair. Patriotism of the Palmers oi the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

On Friday last the nainters of the Brooklyn Navy Yard resolved to appropriate one day's pay each month for bounties, and for the support of the families of those who volunteer or may be drafted from that department giving $20 bounty to all eingle men, and $4 per week to the wife, and $1 per week to eacn child under 14 years, of all married men. Similar provisions were also made for parents where they are dependent upon them for support. But this" is not all. On Saturday, two of the employees eignified their intention to enlist by calling for their discbarge. Mr.

Atkinson, the maBter of the department, nude this tbe occasion of a 6hort appeal to his men to rally for the support of the old flag. "And now," said he, "if there are any men here who feel like enlisting, now is your time. It is as easy to procure a discharge for half a dozen as it is for two. And let me tell you, should you all return you aha1 be preferred before any others in this shop ot least, so long as I am iu charge." Four others immediately stepped forward and took their discharge, making eleven in all irom the Paint Shop. Worthy of Imitation.

College Point and Strattonport, L. says tne Flushing Journal are almost exhausted of recruits for tbe war, more than a third of its males having enlisted. The proprietors cf the India Rubber Factory have pursued a most liberal and patriotic course, and have contributed largely to this result. On Tburs day evening the employees of the factory had a meeting, and eighty live of them formed an association, and pledged themselves to pay to the fam iljfjf each drafted man of their number fonr dol ict week while in service, and also fifty cents per week to each child of the draitcd soldier. Tho is a good one and worthy of imitation, Hontington, Suffolk county, is the banner town for raising money and giving bounties for volunteers.

We understand that the citizens have raised $30,000, and that they give $100 to each recruit, and also 80 per week to the family of such recruit oa long as he is in the service of the United States. The Ninth Ward Heard From Six Hundred and Thirty Dollars Raised in Ten minutes. A meeting of the citizens of the Ninth Ward, opposed to a draft was held last night at Seller's Three Mile House. The attendance was large and the spirit manifested, enthusiastic. The meeting was organized at o'clock by appointing C.

A. Meigs, Esq os Chairman. Mr. Meigs opened the proceedings by submittiog to the meeting the following report of tbe committee appointed at the last meeting held on Friday evening "That the Ninth Ward will proceed to raise funds with the intention of paying a bounty of S25 to each recruit enlisted in the Ward. "That such bounty be paid by the Treasurer of this Committee to all residents of the Ward hereafter recruited who shall present to him satisfactory evidence that the county bounty has been paid such recruit.

"That collectors oe appointed who shall be authorized lo collect funds for the purpose aforesaid." Supervisor Green was then called upon for a few remarks, which he delivered in Lis usual felicitous manner. He asked of all those present who could not enli6t, who lad no money to give, touse their influence in inducing others to go, or to give tbeir money. Provide for the family and men would go. He believed in taking care ot tbe little oneB left at home, and that accomplished, Uh quota of the Ninth Ward would poem be tilled. A lttter trom Comptroller Collins (who was unable to be present) was read stating that fact.

Mr. Silvery, of the Excelsior Biigade, was next introduced and was received with marked enthusiasm. His address was of the most stirring character. He said he came to appeal to them for aid in filling the decimated ranks of tbe best regiment in tbe service. He stigmatised Jeff.

Davis in the most bitter manner, stating that he had been his orderly dnring the Mezican war. He.
