have destroyed the bridge over Accotink creek, which is five miles this side of Manassas, Bull Run, and Centreville. Gen. Hooker's brigade is reported to have checked the advance of the rebels at Centreville, and driven them back to Manassas. General Pope is beyond Manassas, cut off from Washington. Gen. Burnside and Gen. Porter's corps had landed at Aquia creek. It is also said that Gen. Ewell has penetrated to the rear of Gen. Pope, and occupies the left bank of the Occoquan river. A large force is marching to meet them, and to assist in opening a way to Gen. Pope and to Gen. Burnside. If the movement is successful, it will doubtless place the rebel army in a worse position than that which the main body of our troops in now in, as they can, if necessary, fall back to Fredericksburg and reach Washington by river. On the other hand, if Jackson is cut off, his army may be scattered and destroyed. The movement of the rebels is a bold, but a most h

and badly cut up. Until dark last night the rebels had destroyed nothing upon the line of the railroad; but during the night they burned the bridges across the Accotink and at Pope's Head. The scouts reported some five hundred rebel cavalry on their way from Centreville to Fairfax 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. And at Leesburg it is known also that during the night a rebel cavalry force entered Leesburg and made prisoners of a portion of Capt. Means's company of Union troops being raised at that point.--It is supposed that the rebel force at Leesburg were a party of guerrillas residing in the vicinity, who were emboldened by the near approach of the rebel army to make a demonstration against Means's men, who were very obnoxious to the Secessionists in that neighborhood.

The St. Paul (Mina.) Press, of the 24th ult., says: A careful consideration so far forces the conviction of influence of white men at the bottom of the Indian massacre. For weeks past white men, chiefly Missourians, have been among them. The fact that remote tribes like the Yanktoni

well was ordered to interpose between the forces of the enemy which had passed down to Manassas through Gainesville and his main body, moving down from White Plains through Thoroughfare Gap. This was completely accomplished, Long-street, who had passed through the Gap, being driven back to the west side. The forces to Greenwich were designed to support McDowell in case he met too large a force of the enemy. The division of Hooker, marching to wards Manassas, came upon the enemy near Kettle Run, on the afternoon of the 27th, and, after a sharp action, routed them completely, killing and wounding 300, capturing camps and baggage, and many stand of arms. This morning the command pushed rapidly to Manassas Junction, which Jackson had evacuated three hours in advance. He retreated by Centreville, and took the turnpike toward Warrenton.--He was met six miles west of Centreville by McDowell and Sigel late this afternoon. A severe fight took place, which was terminated by darkne

The whole country from Manassas Junction to the Rappahannock river is occupied by bands of guerrillas regular or irregular, and communication between General Pope's army and either Fredericksburg or this city has been temporarily suspended. It is stated to-night that Bull Run is swollen to such an extent from the recent heavy rains that all the bridges have been swept away, and the rebel force on this side is in danger of being bagged.--There is reason to believe that they have already been attacked by a portion of General Pope's army, and the pr

. We have information that the enemy was encamped some twenty or thirty thousand strong at Gainesville, near Manassas Junction, at 2 o'clock yesterday morning. A large portion of Taylor's New Jersey brigade was captured at Fairfax Station by the rebel cavalry, some five hundred of which were seen between Centreville and Fairfax Court House yesterday noon, and are supposed to be the same that made the above capture. From the fact that the enemy last night burned the bridges at Accotink and Pope's Run, it is supposed that they are moving off in some other direction, and wish to avert pursuit. Pope's official report. Manassas Junction, August 28--10 o'clock P. M. To Major General H. W.
