Sir: In obedience to ii.st i uetioiis re
eeived on the "I'lh inst., the division un
(fer my co iinmnd iv.-is underarms, in light
marching order, with two duvs' cooked
intious in their haversacks, mid c.unineu
reil tno innicii at ir.ui past two A. iu. nn
the "Nt, tho brigade of Colonel Franklin
leading, followed by those of Colonols
Wilcox and Hot-aid. At Centrevillo wo '
found the road tilled with troops, and
were detained three hours to nllo'v tho
divisions nt den. Tyler and Col. Hunter to
pass. followed with my division imme
diately in the rear of the latter. i
Between two and three miles beyond
Centreville we loft the Wuireiiton turn
pike, turning into a country road on the
right. Captain Wright accompanied ti e
l ead of Colonel Hunter's eolunn, with
directions to stop nt a road which turned
into the left to a ford across Bull linn,
about half way between tho point w heie
we tinned oil' Irom tho turnpike and Sud
ley's springs, at which latter point Colo-,
nel Hunter's division WHS to cross. No
such road was found to exist, and about
eleven A. M., we found eurselves at Sud
ley's Spiingi, ubout ton miles from Cen
treville, with the brigade of Col. .ltuiter's
division still on our bide of the run. W
foie reaching this point the battle had
commenced. We could see the smoke
rising on our le ft from two points, a mile
or more apart. Two clouIs of dust were
seen, showing the advance of troops fr-jni
the uirec.uin ot Manassas.
At Dudley's pi ings, while ivaiting the
passage of the tioopsof the division in our
front, I ordered loiward the fiist brigade
to till their canteens. Before ibis was ac..
complMied tiie leading regiments of Col.
Hunter':' divi-km became engaged, 'den. '
McDowell, who, accompanied by his staff,
had pas.-ed us a short time before, sent
back Capt. Wricht, of the engineers, and
Major McDowell, one of his aid;, with
orders to tend loiwatd two regiments to
pievcnt the enemy 1'rcm otitllanking them.
Capt. Wright !id lorward tins Minnesota
regiment to the left of the road, which
crossed the run at ibis point. Mij. Mc
Dowell led the F.iventli Massachusetts up
the roi.d- 1 accompanied Ibis regiment,
leaving orders for the remainder to follow
will, the exception ol Arnold's battery,
which, supported by the First Michigan,
was posted n li'llo liclow t lie doming of
the run ns h reserve.
At a little moie than a mile from the
ford we came upon the battle ti Id. Kick
eit's battery was posted on a hill to the
right ol llunter'i division, and to the right
of the road. Alter tiling about twenty
minutes at a battery of the enemy, placed
jutl l.i oik 1 the c:est of a hill, on their
entrance left, the distance being consider
ed too great, it was moved forward to ivith
in about 1.IHHI leet of the enemy's battery.
Here the buttery was exposed to a heavy
fire cf musketry, which soon disabled it.
Franklin's biigade was posted on the right
of a woods, near the centre of our line nnd
on ground rising towitnis the enemy's po
sition. In the meantime I sent orders for tho
Zouaves to i: ove lorward to support Kiek
ett's battery on the right. As soon nsthey
came up, l ied them forward against nn
Alabama regiment, partly conceded in a
clump of small pines in an old lieli. At
t!:c lirsi fire, they broke, anil the greater
poitiou of them lied to rear, keeping a
desultory tire over the heads of their com
rades in' fiont ; at the tame lime they
ivete charged by a company of Secession
cavalry on iheir rear, who came by a road
through two ships of woods on our ex
heme right. The lire of the Zouaves kill
ed lour and wounded one, dispeising
them. The discomfiture of this cavalry
was completed by a lire from Capt. Col
him's compa. y of United Slates cavalry,
which killed and wounded several men.
Col. Fai nham, with wine of his ollicers
and men, behaved gallantly ; but the ro- j
giinent of Zouaves, as a regiment, did not
appear again or. the field. Many of the ,
men joined other regiments, and did good
service as skirmishers. 1
1 then led up the Minnesota regirrent,
which was also repulsed, but retired in
tolerably good order. It did good service
in tho woods on our left Hank, and was
among the last to retire, going oil' the field
with the Thild United Slates Infantry.
Next was led forward the First Michigan. 1
which was also repulsed, and retired in
considerable confusion. They were rid- j
. , i , i i , . i i i . i i .
licit anil neipeo io nom nn: wouus un out
right. The Brooklyn Fourteenth then
appeared on the ground, coming forward
in gallant style. I led thorn forward to
the left, where the Alabama regiment hud
been no-led at the early part of the action,
but had now disappeared, hut soon came (
m sight of the lino ol the enemy draw n
up beyond the clump of trees. Soon al'ler
the firing commenced the regiment broke
nnd tan. I considered it useless to attempt
to rally them. The want of discipline in
the-e regiments was sogrcal that the most
of the men would run Irom fifty lo seven
hundred yards lo the rear ami eoiitmue
to fire foi innately for the bravaoms
very high in the iir, and compelling those
in front to retreat.
Daring this time liiekett's battery had
been taken and retaken three times by us,
but was finally lost, most of the horses
, having been killed. Cant. Hickets beint!
j founded, and Fiist Lieutenant D. llanisey
killed. Lieut, Kirby behaved very gal
lantly, and succeeded in carrying nil one
j caisson. Before this lime heavy reinforce
ment of the enemy were distinctly seen
! approaching by two roads, extending and
' outllanking ns on the right. Col. Stew
f ark's brigade canto on the field at this time,
having been detached by the general as a
reserve at Hi3 point where we left the
turnpike. It toak post on a hill on our
i right and rear, and for some time gallant-
Iv held the enemy in check.
I hud one regiment of eaviilry attached
to my divis;on, w hich win joined during
the engagement by the cavalry cf Celoiel
Stanton's division. Major l'aliiier, who
commanded I hem, w as arxioiis to engage
the enemy. Tho ground being unfavora
ble, I oidered them back out of run go of
fire. Finding it inipcssible to rally any of
tho regiments, we commenced our retreat
about half past four 1'. M. There was a
tine position a short distance in tho rear,
where 1 hoped to make a stand with u
section of Arnold's battery and tho Uni
ted S'.ates cav ilry, if 1 could rally a Jew
regiments of infantry. In this 1 utterly
failed, and we continued our retreat on
the road we had advanced on in the morn.,
ing.
I sent forward my stall ollicers lo rally
come troops beyond tlie Hun, but. nt u
eo'npany would form, I stepped Iuick a
few inomeiili at t he hospital to see what
arrangements could be made to save the
wounded. The lew ambulances thai were
there were filled ami Marled to the rear.
The church, w hich was n-cd as a ho-pit.-d,
with the wounded and some et the sur
ceons, soon after fell in to tl e h; and of ! he
cavalry, that followed us closely. A com
pany ol cavali v crossed the rear and seized
nn ambulance full of wounded. Captain
Arnold gave them a couple of rounds of I
'canister" from his section of ailillery,
which sent them scampering itvvav and1
ke; t them at a respectable distance dur
ing the remainder of our retreat.
At this point most of l he stragglers wcie
in advance of us. Having every reason to
tear a vigoi ous pursuit from the enemy's
fresh tro'.-ps, 1 was desirous of forming a'
shong real guard, but neither the ellorls
of the ollieoisof the icgiilar army, nor the
coolness of the regular troop? with re,
could induce them to fo:m a simile com
pany. We relied entirt
(ion on one sjctioii of
companies ol cavaiiy. .hh.; oi tneroau
was favorable for infantry, but unfavora
ble for cavalry und artillery.
About dusk, as V. c approachc! tin,' War
icnto.i turnpike, we heard a lit ing of rillec".
cannon on our right, and learned that the
enemy had established a battery enfilad
ing the road. Captain Arnold, with bis
M-ctioii ol aiti.lcry, attempted to run the
gauntlet and reached the bridge over Cub
run, about two miles from ( eiitrcv ille, but
found it obstructed Willi broken vehicles
and was compelled to abandon tho pieced,
as they were under the lire of thcBe r.lbd
cannon. 1 he cavalry turned lo the left
nnd i,ftor pi.L-..ing tliKnlylm sfVqw.f voo.l-
and some fields, struck a road which led
them to some camps occupied by our
hoops in the morning, through which we
regained the turnpike. At about H 1'. M.
we regained the camps we had occupied
in the morning, iiao a ongaoe i i mo
reserve advanced a short dis'imce beyond
Centreville, near one-lbi.d of the artillery
hi-t might have been saved, as it was aban
doned nt ur near this crossim.'. Such a
rout I never witnessed before. No efforts
could induce a single regiment to form
alter the retreat had commenced. I
Our artillery was served admirably and

neeee meeiines now lufinu held all over
the country are most significant. And
the studied ellorts of tho ultra war journ
alists to suppress all information coneern-
inir them, evinces a wholesome dread of
their influence. Too people are waking
up. The reign of terror no longer awes
thriu into silence. It is becoming very
evident that the voice of the farmers, me
chanics and merchants of the rural dis
tricts is not for a vindictive urali'dition uir.
They have no profits to in. ko from con
tracts with government, and seek no
share in the unclean drippings of public
plunder. These peace meetings are of
course quite alarming lo those who are
accumulating magnificent fortunes as job'
bers, contractors, suttlers and camp fol

In the campaign of IjCiI'i the Democrat

W. Forney Chairman, issued an Address,
from which the following is an extract:
"We kno-v very wvll how easy it is (o
sneer at any suggestion of danger to the
Union. But we know also that the fed
eral relations of this ( iovernment are so
delicately constructed that they m;y lc
ruptured at any time by a serious error of
the people in choosing a Chief Magistrate.

not say it would certainly or necessarily

genius of the Republic, which has brought

again. But that man must be intellect
ually blind who does not see that it would
jejt us in leal fill danger. For this reason,
the election ol a sectional candidate must
be regarded as in itself a great public mis
fortune. The party that avows opposition
towards a certain class of the States, as
its motive and rule of action, is entitled
to no aid or comfort from any man who
loves his country or desires to be faithful
to its I iovernnu-nt. The greatest the wl-,

produced have warned us that the Union
could not last under the control of a geo

A Woman or Goon Taste. The follow
ing very happy and equally (rue sketch is
Irom the London (Quarterly Review:
You see this lady turning u cold eye to
the iis""nerj cf tiiopmn .m.lilio rimm
mer.dation ol 'milliners. She cares not
how original a pattern may be, if il be ug-,
ly, or how recent a shape, if it bo awk
ward. Whatever laws lashion dictates, she
follows 'i law ol her own, and is never be
hind it. She wears very beaulilui things
which people generally suppose to be
fetched from l'ari-, oi, at least, made by a
French milliner, but which as often are
bought at the nearest tow n and juadu up
by her own maid. Not th-ibhcr co-tuuie
is either rich or new ; on the contrary, sho
wears many a cheap dress, Put it is al
ways pretty, and maiiv an old one, but il
is always good. She deals in no gaudy
contusion of cjIois, nur does sue affect a
studied sobriety ; but she cither refreshes
you with a spirited contrast, or composes
you with a judicious harmony. Not a
scrap of tinsel or trumpery appears upon
her. She puts no faith in velvet bands, or
gilt buttons, or Iw iMed cording. Sho is
quite aware however, that the garnish is
as important as the dress ; all her inner
borders and headings are delicate and
fresh ; and -should anything peep out
which is not intended to bo seen, it is
quite -vs much so as that w hich is. Afiei
all, there is no great art either in her
fashions or her uuiori i'.s. Tho secret
simply consists in her knowing the ihreo
grand unities of dress her own station,
her own age, and Inn" own points. And
no woman can dress vvcjl who does not.
After this vv need not say that whoever
is attracted by the costume will not be
disappointed in the w earer. She may not
be handsome nor accomplished, but we
will answer lor her being even tempered,
well informed, thoroughly sensible, and a (jonf.ra; tendered to the Italian. There

sublime phenomenon, so ofien witnessed certained by the last British census, that
since tho creation, and essential to Ilia
verv existence of animals, a few facts de
rived from observation- and a long train
of experiments 11111-1 bo observed:
i 1. Were the atmosphere, everywhere,
I at all times, at a uniform temperature,
I we h mild never have rain, or hail, or
'snow. The water abs irbcd by its evapo
ration from the sea and the earth's sns
'. face, would descend in an imperceptible
vapor or eci-e to be absorbed by the an
when once fully saturated.
2. The abioi bing power of the atmos
pher?, and consequently iti capability to
; retain humidity, is proportionally greater
in warm than in cold weather.
11. The air near the sui lace of the earth
is warmer than in tho region of t lie clouds.
The higher we aeeiid from theeaith, the
cold-T do ve find the atmo-phere. Hence
the perpetual snow on veiy high moun
tains in the hottest clim ites. Now, when
from continual evaporation tho air is high .
ly saturated with vapor, though it bo in
visible, and the sky cloudless, if its tem
perature is suddenly reduced by cold cur
rents of air rushing from a higher to
lower lattitudo, its capacity to retain
moisture is diminished. clouds are formed,
and the result is rain. Air condenses as
it cools, and like a sponge filled with wa
tt r and rotnpr?s-ed, pours out the water
which its diminished capacity cannot con-

half famished creatures marched troby

walk and ravenous lor food, llioy became
wild with disappointment, on learning that
(ho Mayor whs not in. One of them thr
eatned to drown herself and child.
Another said, she was willini to starve,
but her baby should have food even if Mio
stole it. A tiiird staled, thut sho nover

the Mozart Hall l.'egiment, if he hnd not
promised that his mother would reeeivo
two dollars n week from the city. Theno
frantic expressions of grief and rage wete
nt last silenced by one of tho Mayor's
clerks, who directed the poor women to
the rooms of the Union Defence Con mil

and rtnhed into the apartment, crying,
oat "wo are sta-'vin g, we want money."
Finally, finding that their implorations
availed not hing, they one after another
withdrew from the Committee's rooms,
toseek for t old charity in tho street, or go
