The baltlo of Hull's Uun, tho defe ilaiul
Iho retreat of Major (.ten. McDowell's
lorces, the number of killed and wounded
on each side, and the next probable move
ment ol the Federal army, are the all ab
sorbing subjects of comment on the part
of the press and the people, generally ev
erywhere. As wo stated yesterday, the,
government has ulreudy taken measures
to reorganize tho army of tho I'ototnac,
and li'is appointed Major General McClels
Ian to supeisedo Major General McDow
ell. Last evening ruaiors were current in
this city in regard to the killed on tho
side of the Conf ederates, among tin; fallen
were reported to bo Gen. Johnson, Cupt.
Jackson, and a number of volunteer from
Baltimore. After diligent inquiry, how
ever, we failed to trace ihc rumors to any
reliable source.
The reports as lo the killed wounded
und missing, on the part of tho Federal,
party, continue bo of a very contradictos
ry character.
.Subjoined will be found i number of
additional accounts mid speculations con
cerning the bitile.
The Hon. 11. J. Raymond, who was
present on .Sunday at tho balllo near
toll's Kuu, within three or four miles of
ManasMis junctio.i, has furnished tho
New York Times the following grnpliie
account :
Washington, July 22d, 1801.
The baltlo yeslorday wai ono of tho
most tevore and sunguinury ever fought
on this continent, and it ended it: the
failure of tho Union troops to hold all the
positions which they eought to carry, and
which they actually did carry, und in thoii'
retreat to Ceiitrevillo.
i The attack was tnudo in three column: .

time that the range of lulls which border
the small, swampy stream knoivn rs Hull's
Run, had buen thoroughly and extensive
fortified by the rebels; that batteries had
besti planted at every available point, us
ually concealed in the wojda and busacs
which abound in that vicinity, and cover
ing eveiy way of approach lo Iho region
beyond. These are the defences of .Man
nssas Junction, which is some three uulos
lurtheroir. L'ntd these were carried no
approach could be made to that place;
and afier they should bo carried others of
i similar character would have to be over
cone) at every point where they could bo
eroded.
The utmost that military skill and in
genuity could accomplish for tho delcinc.
of this point was done. Gen. McDowell
was unwilling t) make on attack di.eotly
in the face of iheso batteries, as they
would be ol doubtful issue, and must in
evitably result in a very serious loss of
life. After an attack bad been resolved
upon, thureiore, he endeavored lo find
some way of turning Iho position. His
first inienlson was to do this on thu
sonthern side to throw a strong column
into the placa from thut direction, whilo

On 'Ihuijday, when the troops were ad
vanced to Conlreville, il was found that
tho roads on the south side of these posi
tions were almost impracticable that
they were narrow, crooked and slony, and
that it would bo almo impossible to he
eil'ectno in tho time required. This orgi
inal lan was therefore, abandoned ; aud
1-ridav was devoted to an examination oy
is'tho topographical engineer of Hie north
ern side of tho position. Maj. llarnard
and Caul. Whipple recontioiteieu Iho
j place lor miles around, and reported lhat
' iho position could be entered by a path
I coming from tho north though it was
somewnat long aud circuitous. This was
selected, therefore, us the mode and point
of attack.
