TUESDAY nORNISG, JCLT SSi 18G1.

The Great Battle.n." ihe most intense excitement prevailed in the city

yesterday upon the reception of the news of thegreat battle at Manassas on Sunday, and the bril- -

- liant victory achieved by the Southern forces, and

as soon as our extra reached the etrcct, tho wildest

shouts went up in honor of tho victory from the

large crowd in front of our office, and stirring- speeches were made by Judge Tcit;-ix- . Col. Eataue,

Gen.' Qoables and others.Tho details of this brilliant victory, as far as re-

ceived, will lie found iu our telegraphic columns.

It was undoubtedly the greatest battle ever fought' on thi continent, and is an enduring monument of

the generalship of our noble leaders. Our North-e- m

dispatches represent the most intense excitement and the greatest alarm prevailing at Wash

ington.and well may the u urpers tremble.Owing to an interruption of the line between

. KnoxviUeand Lynchburc, we arc without ourusual dispatch from our special correspondent atManassas. The dispatches we publish show that

'"the carnage has been terrible. Our latest dispatches

represent the killed on the enemy's side as amounting to 4,000 or 5,000. Our own loss has probablybeen very heavy, but we have no details.

The people of the North will now see how grossly they h&ve been deceived by their leaders, whohave been pleased to term the uprising of the South.

era people to preserve their independence, an insignificant rebellion which could be easily.crushed out

Our men have covered themselves all over withglory !

Sunday a Day of Battles.Gen. Scott is said to be partial to Sunday as a

day of battle, and to have selected that day on

more occasions than the present for his great en-

gagements. A contemporary says the great battleof Barnet was fought on Easter Sunday, April 14,

1471. The battle of Vald, or Lafleld, near Maes-trich- t,

was fought on Sunday, the 2d of July, 1757.

The Peninsula was fruitful in Sunday fighting.

The second battle in Portugal, that in Fimiera, wasfought on Sunday. 31st of August 1603. The bat-

tle of Fuentns d'Onor was gained on Sunday, 5thof May, 1811. On Sunday evening. ICth of Janua-

ry, 1812, Lord Weixixqtox issued the brief bnt de-

termined order that "Cuidad Roderigo must becarried bv assault this ayenintr at 7 o'clock." The--

battle of Orthes was fought on Sunday, the 27th

of February, 1M1, and that of Toulouse, tho lastgeneral action of the Peninsula war. occurred on

Easter Sunday, the 10th of April following. Thebattle of "Waterloo was also decided en Sunday, the18th of June, 1815. The second Burmese war af-

forded two examples Easter Sunday, the 11th ofApril, 1852, th.e attack on the lines of defence atRangoon, and the attack and capture of Pegu, oiSunday, the 21st of November, 1832. The victoryof Inkarmann was achieved on Sunday, the 5th ofNovember, 1R51; and, to crown the whole,it was onSunday, the 10th of May, 1S57, that the terrible In-

dian mutiny broke out at Meerut.

A Northern Bishop ox the War Qckmiox. The"Right Rev. Jami:s Kocslyki.t Bati-ht- , BUhop ofNewark, N. J., in dedicating a Church on Sunday,23d ult, had the boldness and patriotism to con-

demn, in strong language, the unnatural war nowwaged by the North against the South. He declar-ed almost incredible the folly of the people, whobad allowed themselves to be seduced into thiswicked war at the bidding, RDd to satisfy the ca-

price of a few Northern fanatics.

A Pnon&T ix the New HAiirsuniK Legislature.It appears that ninety-on- e members of the New

Hampshire Legislature have solemnly protestedagainst the appropriation of $1,000,000 for armintrand equipping State troops. In their protest theysay:

We have asked whether this war contcmplate-- j re-

The accumulation of litsforces on the Potomac sufficiently demonstrated thathis iflbrts were to be directed against Virginia; andfrom no point could the necessary measures for herdefence and protection bp so c fluently directed asfrom hor own capital.

The rapid progress of events for the last fewweeks has fully sufficed to atrip the veil behindwliif.h thn irne nolicr imd nurnoses of the Govern

ment of the United States has been previously concealed Their odious features now stana luiiy re-

vealed. The message of their President and thoaction of their Congrces during the present month,confess the intention of subjugating these States bya war whose folly is equalled only by its wickedness

a war which it is impossible to obtain the proposedresult: whilst its dire calamities, not be avoidedby us, will fall with dtuble severity on themselves.

Commencing, in March last, with tho affectationof ignoring the secession of the seven States whichfirst organized this Government; persisting, in Aprilin the idle and absurd assumption of tho existenceof a riot which was to be dispersed by a. posse comUalus; continuing, in successive months, the falserepresentation that these States intended an offensive war in spite of conclusive - evidence to thecontrary, as by the very basis on which this Govern-ment is constituted the President of the UnitedStates and his advisers succeded in deceiving thepeople of those States into the belief that the pur-pose of this Government was not for peace athome,but conn nest abroad not the defence of its ownliberties, but the subversion of those of .the people.of the Lnitedfctate8.

The series of mintcuvres by which this impres-

sion was created the with which they were devisedand the perfidy with which they were executed are alreaoy kdowh to you; out you coma&carcelv havesunnosed that they would be openlyavowed, and their success made the subject ofboast and self laudation in an Executive messige.Fortunately for the truth of history, however, thePresident of the United States details with minute-nefc- s

the attempt to reinforce Fort Pickens, in violation of an armistice, ot wnicn ne comesses to cavebeen informed, bnt only by rumors too vague anduncertain to fix attention.

The hostile expedition despatched to supply FortSumter, admitted to have been undertaken with thelciinwlrdsc that its success was impossible ; thesending of a notice to the Governor of South Caroli-

na of his intention to use force to accomplish his ob-

ject, and then quoting from his inaugural addressthe assurance that there could be no conflict unlessthese States were the aggressors, he proceeds to de-

clare that his conduct, as just related by himself,was the performance of this promise, so free fromthe power of ingenious sophistry as that the worldshould not be able to misunderstand it ; and in

of his own statement that ho gave notice ofthe approach of the hostile fleet he charges theseStates with becoming the assailants of the UnitedStates. Without a gun in sight or in expectancy toreturn their fire, save only a few in the fort, he isindeed fully justified in saying that case is sofree from the power cf ingenious sophistry that theworld will not be able to misunderstand it."

Under the cover of this unfounded pretense, thatthe Confederate States are the assailants, that highfunctionary, alter expressing his concern that someforeign nations had so chaped their actions as ifthey "supposed the early destruction of our NationalUnion probable, he abandons all further difguise,and nronoses to make this contest a short one, bynlacicor at the control of the Government, for thework, 100,000 men and S400.000.000. The Congressconcurring in the doubt thus intimated as to thesuflWency of the force demanded, has increased- - itto half a million ot men.

These enormous preparations in men and moneyfor the conductor the war on a scale more giganticthan any which the New World ever witnessed, is adiitinciive avowal, in the eyes of civilized man,that the United States are engaged in a conflict witha great and powerful nation. They are at last com-

pelled to abandon the pretext of being engaged intho dispersing of rioters and tho suppressing of in-

surrections, and are driven to the acknowledge-ment that the ancient Union has been dissolved.They recognize the separata exsteec of these Con-

federate States by the interdiction by embargo andblockade of all commerce between them and theUnited States, not only by sea but by land notonly on ships, bnt in cars not only with those whobear arms, but with the entire population of theConfederate States: finally, they have repudiatedthe foolish conceit that the inhabitants of this Con-

federacy are citizens of the United States, forthey are waging an indiscriminate war upon themall with a savage ferocity unknown to modern civi-lization. In this war rapine is the rule privateresidences and peaceful rural retreats are bombard-ed and burned, grain crops in the field are consum-

ed by the torch, and when the torch is not conven-

ient careful labor U bestowed to render the cem-plet- e

destruction cf every article of use or orna-

ment rtmainirg in private dwellings after their in-

habitants have fled from the outrages of a brutalsoldiery.

In 1781 Great Britain when invading her revoltedcolonics, took possession of every district of thecountry near Fortress Monroe now occupied by thetroops of the United States; tho houses inhabitedby the people after being respected and protectedby the avowed invaders, are now pillaged and de-

stroyed by men who pretend that the victims ar?their fellow-citizen- Mankind will shudder to heartho tales of outrages committed on defenseless fe-

males, by the soldiers of the United States, now in-

vading our homes. Yet these outrages are promptedby mflamcd passions and the madness of intoxica-tion, but who shall depict the horror with whichthey regard the cool deliberate malignity withwhich4 under the pretext of suppressing an insur-rection: said by themselves to be upheld by a min-ority only of our people, they make special war onthe sick, including women and children, by carefullydevised measures to prevent their obtaining themedicine necessary fur their cure! The sacredclaims of humanity, respected even during the furyof actual battle, by a careful diversion of the at-

tack from the hospitals containing the woundedenemies, arc outraged in cold blood by a govern-ment and people that prctenl to desire the continu-ance of fraternal connections. All those outragesmust remain unavenged save by the universal re.probation of mankind. In all cases where the ac-

tual perpetrators of the wrong escape capture, theyadmit ot no retaliation; tho humanity of our peo-ple would shrink instinctively from ths base ideaof waging a like war upon the sick, tho women andthe childien of the entmy. But thore are othersavage practices which have been resorted to bythe gorernment of the United States which do ad-

mit of i epression by retaliation. I have been drivento the necessity of enforcing this repression.

The prisoners of war, taken by the enemy onboard tho armed schooner Savannah sailing underour commission, were, as I was creiibly advised,treated like common felons, put in irons, confined ina jail usually appropriated to criminals of the worstdye. and threatened with punishment as such. Ihad made application for the exchange of the pris-oners, to the commanding officer of the enemy'ssquadron ofl'Charleston; but that officer had alreadysent the prisoners to New York when my applica-tion was made. J. therefore, deemed it my duty torenew the proposal for exchange to the constitu-tion cammandep-in-chie- f of the Army and Navy ofthe United States the only officer having control ofprisoners.

To this end I dispatched an officer to him, under aflag of truce, and in making the proposal I informedPresident Lincoln of my resolute purpose to checkall barbarities on prisoners of war by surh severityof retaliation on prisoners held by us as shouldsecure the abandonment of the practice. This com-munication was received and read by the officer incommand of the army of tho United States, and amessage was brought from him, by the bearer ofmy communication, that a reply would be returnedby President Lincoln as soon as possible. I earn-estly hope this promised reply, which has not yetbeen received, will convey the assurance that pris-oners of war will be treated in this unhappy contestwith that regard lor humanity which has madesuch conspicuous progress in the conduct of modernwarfare. As measures of precaution, however,acd until the promised reply is received, I still re-

tain in custody some officers captured from the ene-

my, whom it had been my pleasure previously togoat large on parole and whose fate must neces--arily depend on that of prisoners held by theenemy.

We may well rejoico that wehave forever s'evfered our connection wilh & Gov-ernment, that thus tramples on all principles ofconstitutional liberty, and with a people in whosepresence such avowals could be hazarded.

The operations in the field will be greatly ex-tended by reason of the policy which heretoforesecretly entertained, is now avowed and acted onby tho United States. The forces hitherto raisedprbved ample forthe defence of tho States which,.orjgmauyorgamz2tL.tneLomedcracy.-t- s is evincedby tho fact, that with the exception of three fortifiedislands, whose defence is efficiently aided by a pre-ponderating naval force, the enemy has been drivencompletely out of thoso States, and at tho expira-tion of live months from the formation' of theGovernment, not a single hostilo foot presses theirsoil.

These forces, however, must necessarily prove in-

adequate to repel invasion by tho half million mennow proposed by tho enemy, and a corresponding in-

crease of our forces will become necessary. Therecommendations for the raisingand efficient equip-ment of this additional force-wil- l ba contained in thecommunication of the secretary of War, to which Ineed scarcely invito, your ea'rnestattention,

In my message delivered in April last, I referredto the ' promise of abundant crops with which wewere cheered. The grain crops . generally havesince been harvested, and tho yield proved mo? tabundant known in our histary. Many believes thesupply adequate to two years "consumption of outpopulation. Cotton, sugar, and' tobacco, formingthe surplus production Of our agriculture, and fur-nishing the basis of our commercial interchanges,present the most cheering promise, and a kind Pro-vidence has smiled on tho labor which 'extractsthe teeming wealth of our soil in all portions ofour Confederacy. It is the more cralif'vlmr to beable togive you these facts,' because of the need ofJa'ga mi increased expenditures in support of ourarmy.

Elevated and purified by the sacred cause theymaintain on our fellow-citizen- s of every conditionof life, exhibit the most devotion.Tuey manifest a laudable pride in upholding theirindependence, unaided any jesources, other thanour own, and the immense wealth which a fertilesoil, and genial climate, have accumulated in thisConfederacy of agriculturists could not be .morestrikingly displayed than in the large revenueswhich, with eager zeal, they have contributed atthe call of their country.

In the single article of cotton the subscription tothe loan prcposwby the Government cannot fallshort of fifty million dollars, and will probably ex-ceed that sum, and scarcely an article required forconsumption by the army is provided otherwisethan by subscription to produce loans as happilydevised by your wisdom.

The Secretary of the Treasury, in a report sub-mitted to you. will give you the amplest detailsconnected with that branch of the public service;but it is not alone on their prompt pecuniary Co-ntributions that the noble of freemen. who in-

To spoak of subjugating such a people so unitedand determined, is to speak a language incompre-hensible to them to resist an attack on their rightsor their liberties, is with them an instinct

Whether this war shall last one or three or fiveyears, is a problem they leave to be solved by theenemy alone. It will last till the enemy shall havewithdrawn from their borders, till their politicalrights, their altars andtheir homes are freed fromiova&ion. Then, and then only, will they rest fromthis struggle, to enjoy in peace the blessings which,with the favor of Providence, they have secured bythe aid of their own strong hearts and sturdy arm.

TUE RATTLE OF BCLL S ROT.

TIu Richmond mail failed yesterday and we arewithout newspaper details of the battle of Bull'sRun. The Richmond Examiner of the 10th containsthe following:

Tassengers by the Central train, who left Manas-sas Junction yesterday morning, and arrived in thiscity at half past eight last night, report that onWednesday morning the enemy, t ith a force of45 000 men, advanced on Fairfax Court House. Ourseveral Regiments stationed in that vicinity, pursu-ant to instructions from headquarters, after slightskirmishing, fell back on Bull's Run. where there iserected an extensive and formidable breastwork.In the skirmish at Fairfax Court House, the enemyhad twenty-fiv- e killed and a large number wound-ed. One of our men was struck in the foot by aball, nnd another received a slight flesh wound inthe body. Ths horses baulking with one of CoLKemper's guns, which he had just fired into theenemy's ranks, he was obliged to spike and abandonit.

The same passengers also report that the fight wasrenewed by tho enemy's advance, on Bull's Run, thismorning: but. as to the resnlt. they are of course, ig-

norant, having left the neighborhood at a very earlyhour. Bull's Run is only four miles beyond Manassas, in the direction of Alexandria.

Cooper was reportedlast night to have received a telegram from ColonelBonham's Adjutant to the effect that, at threeo'clock, the enemy advanced on our lines, stationedat Bull's Run; and that, after two hours' fighting,his center had given way, and immediately hiswhole force beat a retreat. Colonel Bonham wassaid to be in full pursuit. From the same source,we learn that our loss was trilling, whilst thatof the enemy was tremendous. Colonel P. T.Mooro was said to have been slightly wounded inthe arm.

Still Later Gloriocs News! Information (ap-parently reliable) was given us last night that theHessian General, McDowell, advanced upon same ofthe outposts of Manassas on yosterday morning witha force of 10 000 men. After a fight of four hours,the Federals were repulsed with great slaughter,and at last accounts were ''ganging back,'1 Sawmestyle, to the environs of Alexandria.

A gentleman connected with Gen, Wise's Legion,and who reached the city last night on the Centraltrain, says that all tha Legion were well and in finespirits when he left them, and requested him to sayto all with whom be conversed that the Legion in-tended to make a lasting and favorable record, ornever again return to their Virginia homes.

Captains Jenkins, who commanded a battalion of500 men,had had an engagementwith about 1500 Federals. and killed 60 ot them, and. only lost one of theL;gion and had two slightly wounded. The manwho was killed gent several of the enemy to their

long-hom- e after he received the fatal shot that de-prived him of life. Ho was over 36 years of ageand our informant regrets that he:ouldnot remem-ber the same.

James Alexander, Esq., of Charlottesville, fromStaunton, yesterday, furnishes us with the follow-ing intelligence:

General Garnett's body is at Grafton, and will besent in by Gen. McCIellan. He has also releasedall tho prisoners on parole except Col. Pegram, whois not wounded. Ho has agreed to "send them halfway, where they are to be met by our forces. Suchan agreement was entered Into bv the commandingofficers of both armif s. Captain 'null, of the High-land company, informs me, and says his wagonswere sent on yesterday te bring them in.

Gen. Garnett's entire loss in his three engage-ments with the enemy does not exceed 25 killed.Lieut Sterre!t.of the Powhatan company, has thebody of Capt. Skipwith carrying it home.

Surgeon Walke, who was taken prisoner and re-leased, I hear, has said that McCIellan told him thatGeneral Gamete made three most brilliant fights,crippling him so that he could not pursue him. Theloss ef the enemy was severe

One of the Arkansas soldiers, named SamuelBaldwin, was thrown from the train on the track afew rods from the Hutton depot, yesterday, and hadboth his legs br.tken and died within an hour.

All of General Garnett's army wil' arrivtd atMonterey to day or to morrow. The enemy are atHuttonsville.

The loss of our army at Rich Mountain, is var-iously estimated at from 10 to 100

fantry are of the number. Ten of the OglethorpaInfantry are missing. It is feared about seven arekilled. The whole number killed in the GeorgiaRegiment is thought to be about 35. Some 20 ofthe Regiment are here ; the others are looked forat headquarters at Monterey to night. -

The Federal General, McCIellan, announced thothree fights made in the retreat by Garnett as verygallant. Your Regiment fought gloriously. Wofeel a deep interest iu its fate. Can't you send usmore such men.

W. A. Tkoot. Mayor of Staunton.Richmond, July 19. Col. Starke, the aid to Gen.

Garnett, says there was no pitched battle but mereskirmish fighting on the day Garnett was killed.The enemy occupied the hill, and Ramsey's GeorgiaRegiment was ordered to dislodge them. TheGeorgians moved up gallantly four companies onthe right of the stream in the mountain gorge, andsix companies on the left of the stream. The enemyappearing in such overwhelming numbers, Ramseygave orders to retreat. It is believed the four com-panies did not hear the order, but marched on, andwere probably immediately surrounded, It is hopedhowever, the four companies may yet reach camps,Garnett's command only lost 20 killed, unless somoof tha four missing companies were killed.

No official details have yet been received. Thebalance of Garnett's command are safe.

Richmond, July 19. An intelligent and reliablegentleman, who left Staunton this morning, saysthat all the missing companies of Ramsey's GeorgiaRegiment are at Monterey safo. They were prison-ers and released on parole.

Staoxtox, July 19. To R. n. Mat, Augusta : TheOglethorpe Infantry and Walker Light Infantry areall safe, except two killed, Messrs. Roll and Cloyd.and one who died in camp. Capt. Adams and CoLClarke sxe safe. E. IL Hall,

make the following extract from a letter written bya member of Captain Stokes' Lunenberg Rifllo com-

pany, which company waj with Col. Pkobav in hia

fight at Rich Mountain. Tho lotfer wai writtcna" IMonterey, in Hiblgand county, V., July 16th J1801:

J,No doubt you fcavo heard of our defeat. Ourcompany was not in the fight. We were placed at; .

the breast works (just commenced) where it wasthought tho hardest of the fight would be; but theenemy did not attsck'tisf there. "A ftei' the defeat in-re-

to Maj. Nat. Tyler to oate uj if fcejccild,nd hft would go back and .save the other3 if he

could. So Maj. Tyler J eel us down tho moun-tain hi a Tery.sm.ill path hut it soon got very dark,and the rain came down in torrents it was so darkyou couldn't see your hand before you, and we lostthe path and got very much scat'ered, but many ofus got together again after awhile and got into apath again in & deep ravine, where a great deal ofwater had collected, and had to go through mud andwater from ankle) to knee deep. Wo reached Bev-erly before son-ris- but proceeded on to Huttons-ville, where we overtook CoL Scott returning east,Wc continued our march night and day, till we gothere on Sunday night, not stopping long enough, butonce, for the h9nes to eat enough. Our men areworn out; but tho wonder is, that they got hero atall.

It was c; rtainly a great mistake to tend a littlehandful of men away up nmong our enemies, with-in a few hours' march of Yankee railroad, when ittook us ten or twelve days to reinforce. I repeat,the wonder is, that any of na escaped. We had1,500; they had 10,000.

I came off with nothing on my back but a shirtand my gingham jacket and we had a cold andrainy time. I am well with the exception of a cold.

Captain Jones' company, from Brunwick, got lostfrom us the night of tho battle, and most of CaptainBruce's company also, but they are safe and will bohere" Pegram left camp that night withsome six hundred, and we hear they aro taken pris-oners, Dr. Atkinson company, Hampden Sidney,with them. Twenly-seve- n of our men ars still out.I heard from a man who "was taken prisoner .andgot away, that they wero with Pegram, and are Isuppose, taken prisoners. The present understmd-in- s

here is, that General Garnett is killed ; his menkilled, scattered and taten-priaoners- r. We lost allwe had.

The Enquirer also publishes the following extractfrom a letter from a gentleman of high standing,who holds a position in Gen. Garnett's army, to arelation in that citr :

Moxteeet, July 15. On Sunday, July 7th, tho ene-my appeared before our camp about 5,000 strong,and a" sharp skirmishing continued from that timeuntil Friday though with slight loss on our side.On Friday last I was sect with despatches to CoLLeo at Buffalo Gap, and on my return to Monterey,learned that after a severe battle of three hours, inwhich 250 of our men kept in check from 3,000 to4,000 of tbe enemy they succeeded in getting tothe rear of CoL Pegram's command, and thus hem-med in his small force of 1.800, between 3,000 or4,000 in tbe rear, and about5,000 in front with eightpieces of artillery, consequently nothing was leftthem but to escape the best way they could. I un-

derstand CoL Heck, with about 1,000 men, made hisway to Gen. Garnett, who is reported to be retreat-ing through Pendleton, and is expected here soon.Our men were betrayed by some Union men wholed the enemy across the mountain to tbe rear. CoLPegram commanded in person and had three horseskilled under Mm was severely injured by a fallfrom one of them. Some of his nun who havemade their way to this village think he has escaped,others think he has fallen into the hands of the ene-my. I sincerely hope he is safe, for a more noblehearted and gallant fellow never wore a swerd.This wiU be a severe blow to the General, whosesituation I fear will never be properly appreciatedin the East -- surrounded with Union men with aforce too small to inspire any ccrifidence in the fewwho manifested any disposition to join or aid htmhaving to wagon all of his supplies for a distanceof 120 miles across the mountains, his situationseems very trying but he has mnnaged, despite alldifficulties, to gain the entire contidence of his menand officers, and but for this misfortune wherebythe enemy have gotten to the rear, a different stateof things might have been looked for soon. Gen.McCIellan is reported rapidly advancing across themountains. He is now said to be near Greenbrierriver.

Correspondence of t&s Rew York Associated Prtn.WASHKOTOjr,'' July 18. A number of trophies

were brought here which were taken in therout of the Rebels, including a commissary's tentof the ."d S. F. Regiment, a lot of clothing, hats,boots, guns, palmetto buttons, .to.

The dreaded masked batteries turned out to beonly batteries.

Reports are prevalent and credited that a fight ofminor importance has taken place at Ball's River,five miles from Manassas Junction, and several werekilled and wounded on the Federal side from a bat-tery.

An officer from the seat of war, who reachedhere t, bring3 information that the troopawhich marched from Fairfax Court Houso appearedbefore Centreville about' one o'clock this morning.They halted within half a mile of the enemy's

and instead of a battle, theysuddenly saw the national flag hoisted over thetown, and a solitary man running down the lino an-nouncing that the enemy had fled. The band playedthe banner amid the cheering of theFederal troops.

It is said there were 7,000 or 8,000 Confederatesat Centreville, but the number was probably muchexaggerated. They took their cannon with them.

It is reported on tho authority of several officersthat the news of McClellan's victory was generallyknown at Manassas

The army was to march on Manassas Junctionthis afternoon.

The New York ieraU'a camp correspondencesays: The fact is established that the Rebel forceat Fairfax was composed of their crack regiments.The retreat of these men without showing fightwill demoralize the whole force at Manassas Junc-tion.

A signal dispatch from Gen. Beauregard to Gen.Cooke, commanding the rebel forces at German-tow- n,

was found He instructed him to keep avery careful lookout on Tuesday evening, therebyshowing that some traitors in Washington apprizedthe Rebels of the time of advance.

Late this afternoon a gentleman arrived here di-

rect, by way of Manassas Junction. He left therelast night. He repsrts that there were at Manassaslast nicht only 12,000 men. Their means of defencewere elaborately prepared, but it is his opinion thatthey will not withstand an assault. They lal atthe Junction 150 railroad car--.

On Sunday night Beauregard went to Richmond.The command at the Junction devolved on Gen.Crenshaw, second in command. At Richmond therewas a military consultation as to what courseshould be pursued.

It was after this conference that tho immensetrain of cars was sent up to the junction. This is a.significant fact, it is now believed the Rebels willleave the junction, and make their first great standat Richmond. They have already mounted 70 can-n- n

of large calibre, and have some 10,000 whitesland negroes at work day and night on the defen-ses. -

WAsmxtiTos, July 18. Gen. Tyler's column mov-ed atJ-- t o'clock this morning, and passed throughCentreville without firing a gun. They halted abouttwo miles beyond, while a reconnoitermg partywent to a creek called-- Bull'd Run. A concealedbattery opened on our troops, wounding a Sergeant.Two of our heavy guns were brought to bear onthem and soon silenced tho Rebel battery. '

Col. Richardson's brigade was then SVnt out skirmishing, ana soon woke up tbe rebel batteries onthe other side, which were followed by a heavy fireof musketry, which was returned by our men. Theengagement lasted half an hour, but they were toowell protected and were too much for the smallforce opposed to them. Our men fell "back in goodorder. The rebels, whose flag floated from a millcheered lustily. At this moment a shell from a newbattery hitherto silent and unknown, burst ou thetop of the hill were our first battery had been sta-tioned, and where there were a number of civilians.Several cssaalties occured. but no one was mortal-ly wounded. Several were wonnded by bullets.

Edwin Morse, Company A, 3d Michigan Regiment,was struck by a bomb in the koees. The woundis regarded as severe, but not dangerous.

All on the hill, both civilians and military men,deemed it prudent to withdraw.

The operator at Springfield Station, however, re-ports heavy cannonading was heard there betweenfive and six o'clock.

We have mentioned above the names of all thewounded whom we saw, but there is no doubt that aconsiderable number of our men fell, who werotaken to the rear after we left.

PRISOXKRS OP WAR.

I witnessed a moat melancholy procession yester-day. Indeed it was touching. The rebel command-er. Col. Pegram, after flying from his strongholdwith bis forces, found himself shut up in tbe mountains without food and no refuge. A council of hisofficers advised surrender. His force, exceptingsix hundred, had scattered. He addressed a notetoGen. McClellan; proposing to surrender, cl theGenerals Aids, Lieut Key and Capt Lawrence A.Williams, U. S. A., went out to receive, the surren-der. This afternoon they marched sadly into Dev.erly. and stacked their arms where some ofthem had but lately encamped. The prisoners willbe quartered here for the present A detachment,guided by a rebel Lieutenant, is out in the moun-tains now looking for 126 more of Pegram's com-mand, who are famishing in the mountains. Theyare ordered by their commander tosurrcnder. Wehave now 700 prisoners, with 1,000 stand of arms,chit fly U.S. muskets changed from flint to percussion locks.

The wounded of both parties are being removedfrom Rich Mountain to this place.

Colonel Pegract is quite ill having been seri-ously hurt by being thrown from his hone inbattle.

NUMBER ENGAGED AT KICiniOUXTAIX.

Gen. Rosecrans informs me that I greatly exag-gerated his strength at the battle ofditch Mountain.He left Roariug Run with 1,800, not more than 1,200of whom were in the action altogether, and ooly 800at one time.

It is impossible to estimate the force of the enemythey differ widely in their own statements ; some-sa-

300, other officers say 400 and 450. Col.PegramInformed mo that he had five companies in action:Some of their wounded reported immediately afterthey were captured that they bad 500 to 900.

The Federals actually engaged were the Ohio 8th,110th, and 13th Indiana and 19th Ohio, and otherr,making fully 3,000.
