the battle of bull run.
Dr, Russell's Description of it.
Wo yesterday published a telegraphic synopsis
Of Dr. Russell's last letter to the London Times,
containing bis description of the memorable en
gagemont at Bull Run. Below we append the ro
markable document in full:
I sit down to give nn account—not of the action
yesterday, but of what I saw with my own ©yes.
faitherto not often deceived, and of what I heard
with my own cars, which in this country arc not so
much to be trusted. Ret me, howevor, express an
•cpirnon .as to the affair of yesterday, la the first
plaoe, the repulse of tho Federalists, decided as it
was, might have had no serious effects whatever
beyond the mere failure —which, politically, was of
greater Consequcnco than it was in a military
sense—but for ihc disgraceful conduct of tho troops.
The retreat on their lines at CentrovUie seems to
fctfre ended in a cowardlyrout—a miserable, cause
less panic. Such scandalous behavior on the part
•of soldiers I should have considered impossible, as
with some experience of camps and armies. I have
never, even in alarms among camp followers, soon
the like of ii. llow far the disorganisation of the
troops extended 1 know not; but it was complete in
the instance of more than one regiment. Washing
ton this morning is crowded with soldiers without
officers, who have fli*d from Centrevillc, ami with
“Ihrce-inonlhs men,'* who are going home from the
face of the enemy on the expiration'of their term
«f enlistment. The streets, in spite of the rain, are
crowded by people with anxious faces, and groups
of wavering politicians arc naaeiisbJcd at the cor
ners, in the hotel passages, and tho burs. If in the
present state of the troops the’Confederates were to
make a march across the Potomac..above Washing
ton, turning the works at Arlington, the capital'
might full into their hands. Belay may place that
event out of the range of probability. *
The Kovth will, no doubt, recover the shock.
Hitberlo she has only said, “(round fight for the
UnioD." The South bus exclaimed, :: Let us fight
for our rights." The North must put its best men
into the battle, or she will inevitably fall bofiiro flu*
energy, the personal hatred, and the superior fight
ing power* of her antagonist. In my Idlers, 21s in
my couvor?rt!ion, I luivo endonvorod to show mat
the task which the Unionists have set thcim-elves is
one of no ordinary difficulty; but. in the state of
arrogance m;d supercilious confidence*, either real
or affected to conceal a sense oi weakne33, one
might ns well have preached to tho pyramid of
Cheops. Indeed, one may form gome notion of tho
condition of the public mind by observing lino
joyrna’r. c«*i»di*cU-d by lii£h of dtsgraeftftil pArsonal
character —the be-whipped and be-kickcd and un
rccognmtl jutritihs of society in New York—are.
nevertheless, in the very midst of repulse and de
feat, permitted to indulge in ridiculous rhodomou*
tfldc towards the nations'of Europe, nud to move
our laughter by impolenlly malignant attacks on
“our rotten old monarchy,"* while the stones of
their bran-new republic arc tumbling about their
ears. It will bo amusing to observe the oh Align of
tone, for we emi afford to observe and to be nmu-e-i
at the same lime.
On turuing inlo ouc of the roads which leads to
Fairfax Court House and to Oentrcvllio, beyond it.
tire distant SGund of cannon reached us. That
must have been about 9.30 A. M. It never ceased
all day; at least, whenever the rattle of the gig
ceased, the booming of guns rolled through the
woods on our ears. One man said it bog.au ni 2
o'clock, but the pickets told us it had rcaiiy be
come continuous about half past 7or 8 o'clock. In
it few minutes afterward a body of men appeared
on the rend with their bucks toward Oentrcvllio
and their faces toward Alexandria. Their march
was so disorderly that I could not have believed
they were soldiers in an enemy'ii country —for
Virginia hereabout is certainly so—but for their
arm* and uniform. It soon appeared that there
was no less than an entire regiment marching away
singly, or in small knots of tvro or three, extend
ing for some three or four miles along the road.
A Bubc-l of tongues rose from them, uud they
were all in good spirits, but with an air about them
I could col understand. Dismounting at a stream,
where a group of thirsty men were drinking and
baiting hi the sliado, I asked an officer “Where
are your men going, bit? !l “Well, wo’re going
faotuc, sir, I reckon, to Pennsylvania " It was tho
Fourth Pennsylvania Regiment, which was on its
march, a* I learned from the men. ;; I suppose
there U severe work going on behind you, judging
from the firing?" “ Well, I reckon,sir. therc'ia."
“We're going home," ho added after a pause,
during which it occurred to him, perhaps, that tho
movement required ex t nlanation “because the
men's time is up. Wo iiaro had three months of
this work.” I proceeded on my way, ruminating
on the feelings of a general who sees half a brigade
walk quietly away on the very morning of an no
tion, find on tho frfimo of mind of Ihu meu, who
would have shouted till they were hoarse about
their beloved Union—possibly have hunted down
euy poor creature who expressed a belief that it wan
not the very quintessence of everything great aud
good in government, mid glorious and omnipotent
in arms—coolly turning their backs on it when in
iU utmost.peril, because the loiter of their engage
ment bound them 110 further. Perhaps In? FjuVth
FcunsyJvmna were right; but lot us hear no more of
the excellence of throe-months service volunteers.
On our k‘f-l front a gap in the lowest chain of the
bills showed the gap of Manassas, and to the left
and noor U 3 lay tho “Junction’' of the same
name, where the Alexandria railway untie, with
the rail from the west of 'Virginia, and coatixmea
Hie route by rail of various denominations to
Richmond. The scene wa3 so peaceful, a man might
well doubt tho evidence of one sense that- a grout
contest way being played out below in bloodshed,
or imagine, ok Mr. Seward sometimes <J{kn, Uuit it
was a delusion when ho wakes in tho morning and
finds there is civil war upon him. But too cannon
spoke out loudly from tho green bushes, arid tha
plains Inflow were mottled, so to speak, by puffs of
smoke end by white rings from bursting shells and
capricious howitzers. It was no review that was
going on beneath us. Tho shells gave proof
enough of that, though tho rush of the shot
could not bo heard at the distance Cloud* of dust
came up' iu regular lines through the tree-top.?
where infantry were acting, and now and then Ihoir
wavering mists of Hght-biuo smoke curled up, and
the splutter of musketry broke through the boom
ing of the guns. With the glas.? I could detect
now end then the flash of arms through the dust
side the troops wLoJvoTe moving bri'o:igL''f, anf t
could only judge from the smoke whether the guns
Were fired towards or away from the hill. It was
evident that the dust in the distanoo on our right
extended beyond that which rose from the Fede
ralists. The view towards tho left, ns I have said,
was interrupted, hut the firing was rather more
heavy tlieYe ilimi on the front or right flank, and a
glade was pointed out in the forest as the beginning
of Bull’s or Poole’s Run, on tho other side of which
the Confederates were hid in feree, though they had
not made any specific reply to the shelis tiirown
into their cover early in the morning. There seem
ed to be a continuous line, which was held by the
enemy, from which eamo steady solid firing against
what might he supposed to bo heads of columns
stationed a! various points or advancing against
them. I! was necessary to feed tho horses and give
them some rest after a hot drive of some twenty-six
or twculy-seven mile®, or I would have proceeded
at onco to tire front. As I was watching tho faces
of tho ScuaSors nod Congressmen, 1 thought I had
heard or rend of suoh a scene as this—but thoro was
touch more to come. The soldiers, who followed
each shot with remarks in English or-Gerraan, were
cot as eager os men generally arc in watching n •
fight. Ouve, as ft cloud of thick smoke ascended'
from the frees, o. man shouted out, “That’s good;
ye’ve taken another battery; thoro goes the main
line.” Eui it looked like, and I believe was. the
explosion of a caisson. la tho midst of our little
reconnaissance Mr. Vizetelly, who has been living
and. indeed, marching with one of the regiments,
an artist of the Illustrated London News, came
up and told us the action hod been commenced ia
splendid slyle by the Federalists, who bud advanced
steadily, driving the Confederates before them—a
part of the plan, as I firmly believe. (;> bring them
under the range of their guns. He believed the
advantages on tho Federalists’ side were decided,
though won with hard fighting, andhehadju.it

eat and drink, and to procure little neceworiei, in
case of need, for his comrades 11 i . walk very
probably eaves’ lii3 life. Haying seen all that could
foe discerned tinough Our glasses, my friend o,;d
myself had made « feast on our sandwiches in the
Shade of the buggy; by horse was eating and rest- i
ing, and 1 was forced to give him half an hour or
more before 1 mounted, and meantime tried to
make ouL Ike plan of battle, but all was'obscure
and dark. .Suddenly up rode on officer, with a
Crowd of soldiers after bim, from the village.
“ Vfc'ye whipped them on nil points •" he shouted, !
“ We’ve taken their batteries, and. tiiey're.ali re
treating?” Sueti an uproar as followed 1 The
Spectators and the men cheered again ant again,
amid cries of “ bravo 1” bully for us !" “Didn’t
I loti you so 7” paid guttural .“hoehs" from the
Deutschland folk and laud “hurross" from the
Irish. Soon afterward my horse was brought up
to the hill, and my friend ond Hie gentleman
I have already mentioned set out to
walk toward the front—the latter W rejoin
bis regiment, if possible, tho former to get a
closer view of the proceedings. As I turned down
into the narrow road, or lane, already mentioned,
there was a forward movement among tho large
four-wheeleJ lilt wagons, which raised a good deal
of dust. My attention was particularly called to
this by the occurrence of a few minutes afterwards.
I had mot thy friends on the road, and, after a few
words, rode forward at a long trot as welt os I could
past the wagons and through tho dust, when sud
denly there arose a tumult in front of me at a small
bridge across the road, and then I perceived the
driven of a 6ot of wagons with the horses turned
towards inc. who were endeavoring to force their
way against the stream of vehicles setting in the
Othw direction. By the side of the new set of wagons
there was a number of commissariat men and sol
diers, whom, at first sight, I took to be tho baggage
guard. They looked exoited and alarmed, and were
running by the side of the horses; in front the dust
quite obscured the view. At the bridge the currents
met is wild disorder. “Turn back! Retreat!”
shouted the men from tho front, “ We’re whipped,
we're whipped!” They cursed and tugged at the
Horses' heads, and struggled with frenzy to get
past. Running by mo on foot was‘a man
with the shoulder-straps of an officer. “Prar
what is tho matter, sir?” “It means we’re
pretty badly whipped, and that’s a fact,”
be blurted out in puffs, and continued his
career. I observed that ho carried no sword. Tho
teamsters of the advancing wagons now caught up
the cry. Turn back—turn your horses,” was tho
rib out up. the whole Line, and, backing, plunging,
wearing, and kicking, the horses, which had been
proceeding down the road, reversed front and went
off towards .Cenfcreviilo. Those behind them went
madly niching On, the drivers being quite indiffe
rent whether glory or disgrace led the wa v, pro
vided they could find it>c*ln Ahe midst of this ex
traordinary spectacle an officer, escorted by some
dragoons, rode through’, the ruck with a light
Cart in charge. Anothor officer on foot, with his
sword under his arm, ran ,up against me. “ What
is all this about?” “Why, we're pretty badly
Whipped. Wc’ro all in retreat.', There’s General
TVter there, badly wounded.” And ou he ran.
'There came yet another, who said, “ We’re boaten
on ell points The whole army is in retreat.” Still
there WOO no flight of troops, no retreat of an army,
pe reason-far all this precipitation. True, there were :
many meq ill uniform flying towards the rear, but .
it did jac£t appear os if they wore beyond the !
proportions of a large baggage escort. I got mv j
torso- up into the field, out of tho road, 1
and went on rapidly toward the front- boon 1 met
soldiers who were coming through the corn, mostly
without arms; and presently I saw firelocks, coolt
’ing tin«, on the ground,
nod observed that the confusion and speed of the
Jsoggage-cakts' became greater, and that many of ;
Ahem were crowded with men, or were followed by I
others, who clung to thorn. The ambulances were j
crowded with soldiers, but it did not look os if there <
were many wounded. Negro servants on led horses ,
dashed frantically past, men in uniform, whom it !
were a disgroco to the profession of arms to call •
“soldiers” swarmed by on mules, chargers, and j
even draught horses, which had boon cut out of ;
carts or wagons, and wont on with harness dinging
to their heels, no frightened ns their riders. Mon
literally screamed with rage and fright when their
way wna blocked up. On I redo, asking nil “What
is all this about?" and now and then, but rarely
receiving the answer. “We’ro whipped;" or,
“ We' re repulsed." Faces black nnd dusty, tongues
out in tho heat, eyes staring—it was a most wonder
ful sight. On they came like him
u—who having once turned round govs on,
And turn-* nw l .’ Ids
For ht'k:mw<»lJi Unit.* frarfit! f«‘ , »d
Path close h»']m,d him trend.”
But where was the fiend ? I looked in vain. There
was, indeed, some cannonading in front of mo and
in their rear, hut still tho firing was comparatively
distant, and iho runaways were far out of range.
As I ndvnne«-i lh»> number of curt? diminished, but
thv mounted men increased, nml the column <*f fu
gitives becninc denser. A few buggies and light
wagons tilled with men, whose faces would have j
made rip “a great. Lcporollo" in the ghost scene,
tried to pierce the rear of the mass of carts, which j
were now solidified and moving on.like a gla
cier. I crossed-a--JsnftLil'• diten t)V the roadside, j
got out on the road to escape some snnke fences. ]
and,*' looking before me, saw there was still a ;
crowd of men in uniforms coming along. The road '
was* strewn with articles of clothing—firelocks, j
waist-belts, cartouch boxes, caps, great-coats, mess- ;
tine, rausichl Instruments, cartridges, bayonets, nnd ]
sheaths, swords, and pistols —oven biscuits, water- j
bottles, and pieces of meat. Bussing a white house \
by thbiroiidsidc. I saw, for the first time, a body of j
infantry with'slopcd arms marching regularly nnd j
rapidly toward me. Their faces were not blackened j
•by powder, and it was evident they had not been j
engaged. In reply to a question, a non-cummw- j
sinned officer told me, in broken English : u Wc |
fall b««»k to our lines. The attack did not quite [
succeed ” This was flouring Co 0110 who hud come \
through such a scene ns I had been witnessing. I j
had ridden, I suppose, about three or three nnd a j
half miles from the hill, though it is not possible to j
be sure of the distance, when, having passed tho !
white house, i come out on an open piece of ground, I
bevond and eirciing which wns forest. Two field- j
piece* were nnlimhered and guarding the road, the I
panting and jaded horses in tho roar looked as j
though 9 they hud been hard worked, and the gun- j
norland drivers looked worn and dejected.
Dropping shots sounded close in front through the !
woods, but--ihc 'guns on their left no longer main- I
tinned their tire. I was jurt about to ask on? of the j
men for n light when a sputtering fire on my right j
attracted my attention, nnd out of the forest or
along the read rushed a number of men. The gitu-
Eers’seized the trail of tho nearest piece to wheel it
round upon -themj.uthora made for the tumbrils
and horses as if to fly, when a shout was raised, j
L - Don't fir.i; they’re oiu- own men ! J? and in a few >
minutes on 0:11110 pell-mell n whole regiment in dis- j
order. I rode across one end stopped him. “We’re j
pursued by' cavalry,” ho gasped; “ thcy’vo cut
us all to* .pieces'" Ashe spoke, a shell burst
over the column, another dropped on the road,
and out streamed another column of men keep
ing together with their arms, and closing up
the stragglers of tho first regiment. I turned,
and to my surprise saw the aiiiiiurYmcn had gone
off, leaving one'gun standing by itself. They had ;
retreated with their horses. .While we were on the
hill I hod observed and pointed out to my com
panions a cloud of dust which rose through the
trees on our right front. In my present position
that place must have been on the*right rear, and it j
occurred to me that after all. there; really might be 1
a body of cavalry in that direction, but JVlurat him- }
self would not have charged these .wagons in that j
deep, well-fenced lane. If the dust came, as I |
believe it did. from field artillery, (hat would be tt j
different matter. Any way, it was now well csta- ;
blishcd that the retreat had really commenced, ;
though T saw hut tew wounded men, and the rogi- i
meats which .were falling back had not suffered :
much loss. No one seemed to know anything for
certain. Even the cavalry charge was* a rumor.
Several officers said they had carried guns and lines,
but then they drifted into the nonsense which one
rends and hears"everywhere about “masked bat
teries." One or two*talked more sensibly about
(he strong position of the enemy,. Iho fatigue of
their men, the want of a rosovvo, severe losses, and
the-bed conduct of certain regiments. Not one
snoke as if he thought of retiring beyond Ccntre-
Yillo. The'clouds of dust rising above the woods
marked the retreat of the whole army, and the ,
crowds of fugitives continued, to steal away along j
the road. The sun was declining and some thirty !
miles yet remained ere I could hope to gain the j
shelter oi\ Washington. No ono know whither any ;
corps or regiment was marching, .but there were ;
rumors of all kinds —“The Sixty-ninth are cut to
pieces;’ 7 “ The Fire Zouaves are destroyed," and
so on. Presently a tremor ran through the men by |
whom I was riding, as the sharp reports of some j
field-pieces rattled through the woods close at liuud.. >
A sort of subdued roar, like the voice of-distant
breakers, rose in front of us. and the soldiers, who
were. I think. Germans, broke inio a double, look
ing Iteff a»d th on .over tfioir Shoulders. There was
no choice for mo but to resign any further re
searches. The mail from ‘Washington’ for the
Wednesday steamer at Boston leaves at 2.30 on
Monday, and so I put iny horse inlo a trot, keeping
in the fields alongside of as much as 1
could, to avoid the fugitives, till I came once
more ou the rear of the baggage and store-carls, ,
and the pressure of the crowd, who, conscious ■
of the aid which the vehicle?, would afford
them against a cavalry charge, and fearful, i
nevertheless, of their proximity, clamored and
shouted like madmen as they ran. The road
was now literal ly covered with baggage. It
seemed to me as if the men luside wore throwing
the things out purposely. “ Stop," cried I to the
driver of one of the earls, “everything is falling
out." “ you," shouted a fellow inside, “if
you stop him l'li blow your brains out." My at
tempts to save Uncle Sam's property were then and
there discontinued. On approaching Centreville. a
body of German infantry, of the reserve, cam©
marching down, and stemmed the current in some
degree; they were followed by a brigade of guns
and another* battery of fresh troops. I turned up
on the hill, half a mile beyond. The vehicles had
all left but two—my buggy was gone. A battery
of field guns was in position where wo had been
standing. The men looked well. As' yet there
was nothing to indicate more than a retreat, and
K>ae ill-behaviour among the wagoners and the riff
raff of tire different regiments. GentrcvUlc was not
a bad position properly occupied, and I saw no rea
son why it should not be held, if it was meant to
renew the attack, nor any reason why the attack
should not be renewed, if there had been any why
more." * '(Tth? t' were 'itciiscrlind l iie are v".'
That was all. There was no firing—no musketry.
I turned my horse's head, and rode away through
the village, and after I got out upon the
road the same confusion seemed to pre
vail. Suddenly the guns on the hill opened, and,
at the same time, come the thuds of artillery from
the wood on the fight rear. The stampede became
generalTYhut occurred at the hill I ciumot aay f
but all the road from Centreville for miles pre
sented such a sight as can only be witnessed in
the track of the runaways of an utterly demo
ralized army. Drivers flogged, lashed, spurred,
and beat their horses, or leaped down and
abandoned their teams, and ran by the sido of tho
road; mouutod men. servants, and men in uni
form, vehicles of all sort*, commissariat wagons
thronged the narrow ways. At every shot a con
vulsion, as it were, seized upon the morbid mass
of bones, sinew, wood, and iron, and thrilled
through it, giving now energy and action to its
d&purutc efforts to gut free worn itself. Again
the cry of “Cavalry" arose. “What are you afraid
of ?" said I to a man who was running beside me.
“ I’m* not afraid of you," replied the ruffian, level
ling his piece at me and pulling trigger. It
was not loaded, or Hie cap was not on, for the gun
did not go off. I was unarmed, and I did go off as
fast as I could, resolved to keep my own counsel
for the second time that day. And so the fight
went on. At one time a whole mass of infantry,
with fixed bayonets, ran down the bank of the road,
and some, falling, as they ran,'must have killed
and wounded those among whom they fell. As I
knew the road would soon become impassable or
blocked up. I put my horse to a gallop, and passed
on towards the front. But mounted men still rode
faster, shouting out “ Cavalry are coming." Again
I ventured to speak to sonic officers whom I over
took, and said, “If these runaways are not stopped,
the whole of the posts and pickets into Washington 1
will fly also!" One of them, without saying a word. I
spurred his horse and dashed ou in front. Ido not i
know whether he ordered the movement or not, j
but the van c»f the fugmvos was now suddenly ;
cheeked- and. proving on through the wood ut the :
roadside, I saw » regiment of infantry blocking up !
tho way. with Ihoir front towards Centreville. A ‘
musket was levelled at my head as I pushed to ,
the front: “Stop, or I'll fire." At iho same !
time the officers were shouting out, “Don't let a i
soul pass." I addressed one of them and said, j
July 22.
“Sir, I am a British subject. I am not. I assure
yon, running sway. I have done my best to
stop this disgraceful rout, (as 1 had.) and have
been telling them there uve no cavalry within !
miles of them.” “I can’t* lot you pass, sir!” I i
bethought me of General KeottV pnsri The adjti- !
hint rend it, and tlic word was given along the line,
“ hot that man pussand so t rode through, un
certain if I could now gain the Long Bridge in
time to pass over without the countersign. It was
about this time I met a cßi't by the roadside sur
rounded by a group of soldiers, some of whom had
“ 69” on their caps. The owner, as I took him to i
he, was in great distress, and cried out as I passed,
.“ Can you tell me, sir, where the Sixty-ninth are ?
These men say they are cut to pieces.” “ I can’t
toll you.” “I am in charge of the mails, sir, and
I will deliver them if I die for it. You arc a gen
tleman and I can depend on your word. Is it safe I
for me to go on ? ’ ’ Not knowing tho extent of the
debacle, I assured him it was, and asked the men
of the regiment how they happened to be there.
“Shure, the colonel himself told us to go off, every
man on his own hook, and to fly for our lives,” re
plied ono of them. The mail agent, who told me
he was an Englishman, started the cart again. I
sincerely hope no bad result to himself or his charge
followed my advice. I reached Fairfax Court !
House; the people, black and white, with anxious
faces, were at the” doors, and the infantry were
under arms. I was besieged with questions, though
hundreds ef fugitives had passed through before
me. At one house I stopped to ask for water for !
my horse; the owner sent his servant for it cheer- ]
fully, the very house where we had in vain asked
for something to eat in the forenoon. “ There’s a
fright among them,” I observed, in reply to his
question respecting the commissariat drivers.
“They're afraid of the enemy’s cavalry.” “Are
you an American?” said the man. “No, I am
not.” “Well, then,” he said, “there will be
cavalry on them soon enough. There’s 20,000 of
the best horsemen in the world in Virginny !”
Washington was still eighteen miles away. Tho
road was rough and uncertain, and again my poor
steed was under way; but it was no use trying to
outstrip the runaways. Once or twice I imagined
I heard guns in tho rear, but I could not be sure of
it in consequence of the roar of the flight behind
nte. It was most surprising to see how far the foot
soldiei-3 had contrived to get in advance. After sun
set the moon rose, and aiiad” cither acquaintances I
jogged alongside an officer who was in charge of
Colonel Hunter, the commander of a brigade. I be
lieve. who was shot through the neck, and was inside
a cart, escorted by a few troopers. This officer was,
ns I understood, the major or second in command of
Colonel Hunter's regiment, yet lie' had considered
it light to take charge of his chief, and to leave his
battalion. He said they had driven hack the enemy
with ease, but had not been supported, and blamed
—us bad officers and good ones will do—the con
duct of the general , ,u„ „;can alight I never saw.”
1 was reminded of r. Crimean general who made
us all merry by saying nlicr the first bombard
ment, “In tho whole course of my experience I
never saw a siege conducted on such principles
as these.” Our friend had been without food, but
not, I suspect, without drink— and that, wo know,
affects empty stomachs very much—since 2 o’clock
that morning. Now. what is to be thought of an
officer—gallant, lie may be, as steel—who says, ns I
heard this gentleman any to n picket who asked him
how the day went in front. “Well, we’ve-been
licked into a coc-ked hat; knocked to .” This
was his cry to teamsters, escorts, convoys, tho offi
cers, and men on giianl and detachment, while I,
ignorant of the disaster behind, tried to mollify the
effect of the news by adding, “ Oh, it’s a drawn
battle. The troops Rre re-occupying the position
I:cm which they started in the morning.' ’ Perhaps
be knew liU troops better than I did. It was a
strange ride, through ft country now still ns death,
the while road shining liko a river in tho moonlight,
the li ees'bluck as ebony in thoKhndo; now and then
a figure flitting by into the forest or across the road
—Lightened friend or lurking foe. who could say ?
Then the anxious pickets and sentinels all asking,
“Wind's the news?" and evidently prepared for
any amount of Joys. Twieo or thrico wo lost our way,
or our certainty about it« and shouted at isolated
liouses and received no reply, except from angry
watch-dogs. Then wc were sot right as wo ap
proached Washington by teamsters. For an hour,
however, we seemed to be travelling along a road
which in all its points far and near was “ 12 miles
from the Long Bridge." Up hills, down into val
leys, with the silent grim wood for ever hy
our sides. Now nod then in tho profound gloom,
broken only hy r spark from the horse’s hoof, camo
n dull but familiar sound like the shutting of ft dis
tant door. As I approached Washington, haring
left the colonel and his escort at some seven miles
on tho south side of the Long Bridge. I tound the
grand guards, pickets’ posts, and individual sentries
burning for news, and tho word used to pass along,
“ What does that man say. Jack ? ' “ Begorra, he
tell:? m© we’ro not bet at all—omy retraitmg to the
ouhi Une« for convanioncy of fighting to-morrow
again. Oh, timid; iltigunl!" On gelling to the fete
rtv yonty however, (he countersign wna demanded ;
of course, I had not got it. But tho officer passed
nio through ou the production of General Scott's
safeguard. The lights of the city were in sight, ar.d
reflected on tho waters of the Potomac, just glis
tened by the clouded moon, Rhone tho gay lamp* of
the White House, whore tho President was probably
entertaining some friends. In silenco I passed over
the Long Bridge. Some few hours later it quivered
under the steps of n rabblo of unarmed men.
At tho Washington cud a regiment with piled arms
wore waiting to cross over into Virginia, singing
nnd eluuiriug. Before tho morning they received
orders. I believe, to assist in keeping Maryland
quiet. For the hundredth time I repeated the
cautious account, which to tho best of my know
ledge was true. There were men. women, and sol
diers to hear it. Tho clocks had just struck 1L
P. M. ns I passed Willard’s. The pavement iu
front of the hall’was crowded. The rumor of do
fi'iu had conic iu, but fow of the many who had
been fed upon lies and the reports of complete vic
tory which prevailed could credit the intelligence.
Seven hours had not elapsed before'tlic/streets told
the etory. The “Grand Army of the North," .ok it
was called, had representatives in every thorough
fare, without mins, orders, or officers, standing out
in me drenching rain. When all these most unac
countable phenomena were occurring, I was fast
asleep, but I could scarce credit my informant in
the morning when he told me that tho Federalists,
utterly routed, had fallen back upon Arlington to
dpfpiirt Iho rnpitul. lcuviuK nwulj five hutU-rioi of
artillery, 8,000 muskets, immense quantities of
stores mid baggage, and t’neir weundod nnd prison
ers in the bands of the enemy!
Let the American journals tell tho story their
own way. I have told mine as I know it- It has
rained incessantly and heavily sineo early morning,
and the country must be unfit for operations;
otherwise, il' Mr. Davis desired to press his advan
tage, he might now be very close to Arlington
Heights. lie lias already proved that ho lias a fair
right to be considered the head of a belligerent
power.' 1 But. though the North may reel under
the shock, 1 cannot think it will make her desist
from the struggle, unless it he speedily followed by
blows more deadly even than tho repulse from
Manassas. There is much talk now (of i; masked
batteries," of course), of outflanking and ca
valry. nnd Buck mailers. Tho truth seems to be
that the meu were overworked, kept- out for
twelve or fourteen hours in ' the sun, exposed
to long-range fire, badly officered, and of de
ficient regimental organisation. Then came a
most difficult operation—to withdraw this army,
so constituted, out of action, in face of an ener
getic enemy who had ropulsed it. Tho retire
ment of the baggage, which was without adequate
guards, and was in the hands of ignorant drivers,
was misunderstood and created alarm, and that
alarm became a panic, which became frantic on the
appearance of the enemy, and on the opening of
their guns on tho runaways. But the North will
be all tho more eager to retrieve this disaster, al
though it may divert her from the scheme which
has boon suggested to her, of punishing England a
little while longer. The exultation of the South
can only he understood by those who inay see it,
and if the Federal Government perseveres in its
design to mnko I.'nion by force, it may prepare for
a slruirglc, the result of which will leave tho Union
very little to fight for. Moro of the “ battle " in
my next. I pity the public across the water, but
they must be the victims of hallucinations and
myths it is out of my power to dispel or rectify just
now. Having told so long a story, I can scarcely
expect your renders to have patience, and go back
upon the usual diary of events; but the records,
such as they are, of this extraordinary repulse,
must command attention. It is impossible to ex
ngvmitfi their importance. No mtin cun predict
the results, or pretend to guess at them.
GENERAL NEWS.
Powder and Lead in NoRTriCAROr.r?fA.—
The Rttiuigh Jb7(n< at states that Governor Clark re
e emly ordered Protector Erumons on nn exploring
tour, with a view to Ascertain whether, and where,
a supply of tend nnd tho essential elements of pow
der, suited to tlic present exigencies, could bo ob
tained, and the result is most cheering. Professor
Emmons reports that he is fully satisfied that enough
of these munitions of war can be obtained to shoot
all the tyrants in the world. In view of this a com
pany has already commenced tlic erection of a pow
der mill at a suitable point in North Carolina, Gov.
Clark having contracted for u large quantity of
powder at a fixed price.

instructions to forwurd them North at tho expense
of the Southern Confederacy, if they so desired on
their Arrived.
The Stnr/ir Clara cargo was owned by a Spanish

The ordering of three hundred additional
pieces of cannon to Washington looks as if Lincoln
was going to prepare iu earnest for tho siege of his
capital. When Maryland is once in arms, we can
cut off communication and starve him out. It will
he an easy thing to close tho Potomac, and cut off
his supplies hy that route. Indeed, the navigation
of that river has been made too perilous for any
thing but powerful men-of-wur to run the gauntlet
of Confederate batteries. —Mobile Aatff.
Colonel John E. Gowks, of Boston, who

TILE WEEKLY PRESS
Jlos boon e'diUiliiiiecl on n speura owl permanent founda
tion; but it is, in reality, a nwvvelbm* example of the
degree of favor which a rightly-conducted
LITERARY, POLITICAL, AND NEW? JOURNAL
Can receive at the hands of a liberal and enlightened
Public. Our must grateful thanks are tendered for the
patronage already bestowed upon us, and we shall Rpara
no efforts which may serve to render the paper even more
attractive, useful, and popular in flic future.
The general features of the Paper, in addition to ifc*
POLITICAL AND NEWS DEPARTMENTS,
Will be POETRY, SKETCHES, BIOGRAPHY, and Ori
ginal and Selected TALES, chosen for their lessons of
Life, illustrations of History, dppirtm'o of Mfuwew, and
general merit, and adapted, in their variety, to the tooted
of both sexes and all ages.
OUR NEWS COLUMNS
Will continue to be subject to unremitting care and atten
tion, and all diligence be employed to make this paper a
compendium of all the principal events of interest which
transpire, at homo ami abroad.
THE LITERARY CHARACTER
Of THE WEEKLY TRESS, now universally acknow
ledged to be of an elevated stamp, shall not ouly malat&im
its present High Standing, but shall bo enhanced by im
portant and vuluablo contributions from able Writer*.
Deeming Purity of Morals the great safeguard of private
happiness and public prosperity, wo shall carefully ex
clude from our columns everything which may reasonably
he objected to on the score of improper tendency. Tl**
fields of pure LitmUmu afford sufficient material to
make an
ACCEPTABLE FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
Containing all the elements of excellence, without ft single
objectionable line; and the proprietor of THE WEEKLY
PRESS may justly claim that no head of a family need
hesitate to let its columns go under the notice of any
member of his Household.
THE POLITICAL COURSE
OF TnE WEEKLY PRESS need not bo enlarged upon
here. Independent, steady,'and fearless, it has battled
unwaveringly and zealously in defence of- THE RIGHTS
OF THE PEOPLE against Executive Usurpation, and
Unfair aud Tyrannical Legislation ; ever declaring and ad
hering to the doctriuo that POPULAR SQYEREIGNTY
constitutes the fundamental basis of our froe institutions,
and that the intelligence and patriotism of our Citizen*
will always bo preservative of a wise, just, and Bftlutwy
Government. These nro the principles to which THH
WEEKLY PRESS has been iiommltted, aud to these it
will adhere.
