At about the time the rebels arrived at the Junction, Gen Dana’s New Jerrey Brigade, which was sta- tioned at the railroad bridge over Bull Run, acting upon orders previously received, were advancing to Mgnassas. ‘lhe brigade is si- tuated about five miles from the Junction, and, of course, as the brizade approached that place, they were surrounded by the re- bels, and a great many tiken prisoners.

In the after- noon the fight beeame desperate, the enemy seeming determined jo force back ouy right. ‘After his usual custom, Kearney was at the head of his column, cheering on his men, and | throwing defiance at the rebels.

The rebels had at length become desperaie, and charged with sulid columns upon Porter’s men.

This war is working great changes in public sentiment. As an example we give the following extract from a private letter written by a dis- tinguished Judge, whe has always been a demo- crat. “ This is no longer a war_to restore the Union as it was. It isa war to thake the Union what it never was, but what it ought te be. I would ‘not make war to end slavery; but slavery having made war, I would put down the rebellion, aud it slavery falls, as fall it must, let it fall. The great bloody monster will die bard, and in bis death-struggle he will devour whole armies of de- voted men. The struggle is far from over yet.— Slavery is the most cementing power that ever ex- isted on this continent. The firmest bond of union, its enchantment is of bell and its poweris beyond belief. It enchains the poor and rich in every State. It hates liberty, intelligence and progress. Its arrogance, malignity and cruelty have no hounds. It is a terrible power, in terrible earnest. | It will fight to the death. It will not yield uatil it is thoroughly conquered, and conquer it we shall, if we are not degraded sons of noble sires. The country must remain one, and the South must be conquered ; it will take time and blood and money; but by far the cheapest mode of set- tlement is by conquest; any other settlement en- tion. |THE REBEL RAID AND SERIOUS RAIL | WAY COLLISION | Is thus deseribed by the New York Herald's | correspondent : | ** The utmost consternation has been excited [throughout Fairfax and Prince William counties by the recent bold dashes of the | affair at Catlett’s startled the whole station, yesterday reports that about a huadred g Sv.

City Point has been entirely demolished by the Federal gunboats, at the instance of Com- modore Wilkes, of T'rent notoriety. The place was a port of entry, in Prinee George County, Virginia, 10 miles from Petersburg. [tis situate on the right bank of James River, on a point formed by the junction of the Appomattox, and at the head of ship navigation. The village contained two churches, Episcopal and methodist, several extensive warehouses, and some forty dwell- ing houses. A railroad connected “it with Petersburg. The Federals account for its destruction thus: For some time past the rebels have been firing sto the transports passing up and down the James River. Commedore Wilkes sent the rebels word that if it was not discontinued he should destroy their rendezvous, City Point. On Thursday last the rebels brought down to City Point 8 cannon and about 200 riflemen, and opened fire upon the the Federal flotilla, which at the time was abreast of the place, whereupon the ganboats opened fire npon them and des- troyed every building in the place, and dis- persed the rebel force.
