The Times has a special dispatch from Hugerstown, stating that two portions of the rebel army have united this side of the Po tomac to the number of 70,000. Another dispatch dated at P. states that a battle is reported going on all the afternoon, result unknown. The Jime special account of the battle states that Longstreet was killed and Hill captured. The Herald has some statements from wounded officers of Hatch's brigade, among which are the following At the charge on the heights tbe rebels stood till our troops were distant about 30 rods, when they open ed a deadly fire upon thtm, and fell back a short distance.

Our men soon recovered their line and were ordered to a second charge. Notwithstanding the disadvantages of the pursuit, up an almost perpendicular steep amid rocks and underbrush the men pushed on with menace to their adversaries, to whom they this time applied the bayonet with vigor. This had the effect to put them to flight in disorder. Another charge and the enemy were driven beyond the peak of the height, into an open space affording them no shelter except a low stonewall. Behind this they took refuge from the galling fire of General Hatch's men.

That officer perceiving this movement, dashed along his line and shout "Boys, you must drive them from that place." With a yell which sent terror into tbe rebel ranks a fourth charge was made and after a feeble resistance at the stonewall, the rebels scattered like sheep leaving the ground strewn with dead and wounded. Another offioer of the Staff of Gen. Hatch states that Gibbon's battery, supported by tbe infantry of his brigade, successfully si lenced the batteries of the rebels at the Gap beyond Middletown, on Sunday, and 9 pieces rebel artillery were captured, with many prisoners. Our informant says there werett least 3000 rebel prisoners taken by us. Waihwoton, Sept.
