eed the march at half past two A. M. on
the 2Ut, the tnigade of Colonel Frnnklin
leading, folloivcd by those of Colonels
Wilcox i.nd IIoaid. At Centieville wo
found the road filled with troops, and
were detained three hours lo allo,,the
divisions of den. Tyler and Col. Hunter to
pass. I followed with toy division imme
diately in the tear of the latter.
lielwoen two and three miles beyond
Cenlirville we led the W'arietiton turn
pike, turning into a country road on the
right. Captain Wright accompanied tl e
Lead of Colonel Hunter's column, with
directions to stop at a road which turned
into the left to a fore across I'.ull Itun,
about half way between the point wheie
no tin tied oil' Iroin tho turnpike and Sud
ley's springs, nt which hitter point Colo
ncl Hunter's divininn was to cross. No
surh rond was found to exist, nnd about
eleven A. M., we found eurselves at Sud
ley's Springs, ubout Ipd miles from Cen
tieville, with the brigade of Col. '.Iuuters
division still on onr sido of the run. lie
foie reaching this point the battle had
commenced. We could fee the smoke
rising on our led from two points, a mile
or more apart. Two clouds ot dust were
seen, showing the advance of troops from
the direction of Munitions.
At Dudley's Fpi in g, while tvniting the
pasffige of the ttoopsof the division inour
front, I ordered fonvnrd the fiist brigade
to till their canteens. Itcfore this was nc
eomplished tiie leading regiment of Col.
Hunter's division became engaged. 'Jen.
MeDowrll, w ho, accompanied by his stall,
had passed us a short timo before, sent
haekCapt. Wright, of the engineers, nnd
llnjor McDowell, ono of his aids, with
orders to tend foiwatd two regiments to
prevent the enemy frcm outflanking them.
Capt. Wright led forward tiie Minnesota
regiment to the left of the road, w hich
cro?sed the run at lbi- point. Mnj. Mc
Dowell led the Ea Ventti Massachusetts up
the roi.d- 1 accompanied tins regiment,
leaving orders iuv the remainder to follow
with the exception ol Arnold' battery,
which, snppoi led by the Eirst Michigun,
was posted n li'tle below the ctosing cf
the run as u reserve.
At u little mote than n mile from the
ford we came upon tha battle li' hi. Kick
ett's battery was posted on a hill to the
right of Hunter's division, nnd to the right
of tho road. Alter filing about twenty
minutes at a battery of the enemv, placed
ju.M beyond the c:est of a hill, on their
entrance lelt, the ili'tanee being consider
ed too great, it w as moved forward to with
in about I, (HH) li'i't of the etieiii) 's liattiry.
Hole the lialtciy was exposed to a heavy
lite i f musketry, which soon disabled it.
Franklin's In ignde was posted on the right
of a woods, near the centre of our line and
on ground rising towards the enemy 's po
sition. In the meantime I tent orders for tho
Zouaves to t: ove forward' lo support Kick
eti's battery on the right. A 4 soon as they
(Mine up, 1 led Ihem forward against tin
Aiabauia legimeiit, partly concealed in a
chilli! of small lines in an old lielJ. At
Ike first lire, they broke, and the greater
poition of them lk.'d to rear, keeping a
desultory fire over Ihe heads of their com
rades in lie-i t ; tit tho tntr.c time they
were cl.argi d by n company of Secettlon
cavalry on heir rear, who came by a i t ad
through two ships of w-oods on our ex
treme right. Tho fire of the Zouaves kill
ed four and wounded one, dispersing
them. The discomfiture of this cavalry
was completed by a lire from Capt. Col
him's eoinpa:y of United States cavalry,
which killed ami wounded several men.
Col. Fariiham, with mo of his otlicers
and men, behaved gallantly; but the re
giment of Zou ives, as a regiment, did not
appear again or. the field. Many of the
men joined other regiments, and did good
service as skirmishers.

I had one. regiment of cavalry attached
to my divis'on. w hich was joined during
the engagement by (ho cavalry erf Coloiel
Stanton's division. Major l'alnier, who
commanded ihctn, was anxious to engage
tho enemy. The ground being unfavora
ble, I ordered them back out of lange of
fire. Finding it impossible to rally nny of
the regiments, wo commenced our retreat
about hull' past four P.M. There was o
fine position n short distance in llio rear,
where 1 hoped to make n stand with a
section of Arnold's bin lory and the Uni
ted S:ates envdry, if 1 could rally n few
regiments of infantry. In this 1 utterly
failed, and tva 'ormiimrt'd our retreat on
the roud wo had advanced on in the morn.,
ing.
1 1 sent forward my slafl officers to rally
some troops beyond the l!un, but not a
company would form. I stepped bacic a
few moments at, tho hospital lo see what
arrangements could bo made to save the
wounded. The lew ambulances that were
there were filled and started to the rear.
The church, w hich was used as a hospital,
with the wounded und some ct the sur
Ueons, soon after fell into tl e hands of the
cavalry, that followed us closely. A com
pany ot cavalry crossed the rear and seized
tin ambulance full of wounded. Captain
Arnold gave them a couple of rounds of
'"canister" from hit section of artillery,
which sent them scampering awav and
kc; l them at a respectable distance dur
ing the remainder of our retreat.
At this point most ofthe stragglers were
in advance of us. Having every reason to
fear a vigorous pursuit from Ihe enemy's
i fresh troips, I was desirous of forming a
, strong real guard, hut neither the efforts
of the olliceisof the legular army, nor the
coolness of the regular troops with ne,
couh' induce them to form a single com
' jinny. We relied entirely for our protec
tion on one section of artillery, nnd a few
companies of cavalry. Most of tho road
was favorable for infantry, but unfavora
ble for cavalry and artillery.
About dusk, as we approached tho War
rcnlo:i turnpike, wo heard a tiring of rifled
cannon on our right, ami learned that the
enemy had established a battery enfilad
ing the road. Captain Arnold, with his
section of artillery, attempted to run the
gauntlet nnd reached the bridge over Cub
run, about two miles from Centieville, but
found it obstructed with broken vehicles,
nnd was compelled to abandon the pieces,
as Ihey were under the fire of these rfld
cannon. Ihe cavalry turned to tlie left
and after passing through a strip of woods
and some fields, struck a road which led '
them lo some camps occupied by our
troops in the morning, through which wel
regained the turnpike. At about 8 1'. M. I
wc regained tho camps wo had occupied j
in Ihe moining. Had a brigade fiom the'
reserve advanced a short dis'anee beyond
Ci ntreville, near one-1 hi. d of the artillery
lost might have been saved, us it was aban- '
doiied at or near this crossing. 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 nnd
did much e.xecu:ion. Some of the volun
teer regiments behaved very well, and ,
much excuse can be mode for those who
fled, ns few of the cneiry could nt any
time bo seen. H.iw troops cannot be ix '
pected to stand long against an unseen
enemy. I have been unable to obtain any 1
repot t from the Zouaves, as (Jul. Farnhaui
is still in the hospit il. Since the retreat, I
more than thiel'oiii'tlis of tlio Zouaves!
have disappeared.

Armstrong was dressed in a plai'i suit'
of black, with a frock coal. Ho wore no
necktie, and his head was bare. Ho was
very pale nn .1 he worn a serio.is counten- I
mice ; but he was as firm as at any period j
ol his trial, and Iiib step betrayed no
symptom of fear or faltering. On arriving
at the scaffold he mounted the steps
without any appearance of fear, and lie
took his place under the fatal noose with
an unnerved form.
During the prayer offered by tho Rev.
Mr. MtAuley, Armstrong listened calmly,
ur.d then advaiioing.spoke in a firm voice,
as follows :
"My friends, let mo say in passing, I
die in peace with my Maker, and if at this
moment u pardon were offered to me on !
condition of giving 'ip my Maker,! would i
not take it. T.i the lew people here, I
would advise them to take warning by my
fate. Sabbath bicaking was the first .
cause. 1 bid you farewell. To the pris- I
on keepers, to Mr. Perkins, to Shcrilf,
Kein, nnd lo my spiritual adviser, Mr. i
McAuley, I bid lai c veil ; gentlemen, I b.d
jou all farewell ; I l ow die in peace with
everybody." I
There was much disappointment that,
ihe dying man had mado no nllusio.i to
the cl ime for which ho .vas about to suf
fer ; and at tho last moment ho bhuwed
tho same reticence in this respect ns at
the time of his sentence. At the conchi
sion of bis remarks the fatal rope was pla
ced about his nick, an .1 all except the
shei-itl'iind the condemned left the scaf
fcld. He shook ha::ds with them all, and
when Mr. McAuley was about to leave
him ho whispered toniethiiig in his ear,
and men Kiscu mm.
Tho noose was fixed, the ghastly whito
rap was draw n down over the face of the
condemned, thosherill took his leave.aiid
the murderer of liol crt Crawford was left
standing alono. As the cap was being
drawn down Armstrong said "Good-bye,
people." After these preliminaries ho
stood as firm as man ever stood while in
the same position. There wore no signs
of tremor, even tho hands, w hich were
thrust forward of his breast. did not move,
and thote was no clutching of fingers du
ring this terrible moment. Thero was a
loomentaty delay before tho prop wns
drawn. This over, the shcrilf di opped a

condemned had a fall of about three nnd
a hall feet, and his death wan almost in
stantaneous. Ariiest of a Ci.eruvman. Tho Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Ex
press relates the following as an amusing
incident ;
The Rev. Mr, Lippitt, of the Episcopal
Church, a native of It. L, ami formerly
professor in tho Episcopal I lieonigicai
sieniinnrv of Virginia, resides near Alex
andria, and about three weeds I ago otliei
ni Christ Church in that City. His
sermon was regarded by the officer in
command as a secession discourse, and he
was accordingly incarcerated in the Wash
ington iad. P.Ling required by the Secre
tary of State to produce his sermon, he
sent for it, when it appeared by a note on
the margin that it was first preached
twelvo years ago 1 The Secretary read it
carefully over and pronounced it good,
sound, Christian doctrine, and forthwith
ordered Mr. Lippitt to bo discharged.
This incident, which has just transpired,
caused not a littlo amusement among the
reverend gentleman's friend, and proves
that even the best and most loyal of men
are not in these days exempt from fP1'
cion, oven when they preach their old
sermons over, without alteration or addi
tion. This line fills up this column.

which people iteuerally suppose to bo
fetched from Paris, oi , at lea.-t, made by a
French milliner, but which us often aro
bought itl the nearest town and made up
by her own maid. Not l hit her co-tuoie
i- cither rich or new ; on the contrary, she
wears many a cheap dress, but it i al
ways pretty, and many an obi one, hut it
is always good. She deals in no gaudy
confusion ol colors, u.ir does sho afl'ecl a
studied sobriety ; but slu either Iclie.-hes

you Willi a judicious harmony. .Not a
scrap of tinsel or trumpery appears upon
her. Sho (Hits no faith in velvet bands, or
gilt buttons, or tw isted cording. Sho is
quite aware, however, tii. it 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 tu bo seen, it is
quite is much so as that which is. After
all, there is no great art either in her
fashions or her malorii'.s. Tho sccroi
simply consists in her knowing the three
grand unities of dross her own station,
her own age, and ho,' own points. And
no woman can dress well who does not.
After this we need not say that whoever
is t.ttiacted by ;ho costumo will no', bo
disappointed m the wearer. She may not
be handsome nor accomplished, but we
will answer lor her being even tempered,
well informed, thoroughly sensible, and a

A Pntcr.sstnN or Starving Wom...v, A
large number of hungry women with ba
bies in their arms, misled by erroneous
announcements in sovend newspapers,
gathered on Monday in front of I he branch
office of the Union Defense Committee.
That office not having been re-opened, Iho
half famished creatures marched two by
two, to the City Hall in fcarcli of tho May'-,
or, who was not there. Tired with their Ion
walk and ravenous for food, tl.ey became
wild with disappointment, on learning that
the Mayor was not in. One of them tkr
er.tned to drown herself and child.
Another said, sho was willing lo starve,
but her baby should have food even if siio
stole it. A tiiird stated, that she never
would havo allowed her.son to enlist in
the Mozart Hall Kegiment,) if ho had not
promised that bis mo'.her would receive
two dollars a week from the city. These
frantic expressions of grief nnd race weio
nt last silenced by one of Ike Mayor's
clerks, who directed the poor women to
tho looms of the Union Defence Conmit
tee. on Pino Street. Thither they wont,
nnd lushed into ihe apartment, crying,
out "we aro Marvin g, we want money."
Finally, finding that their implorations
availed nothing, they ono after another
withdrew from the Committee's rooms,

homo and starve. X. Y, Jour, t.'ommcrce.
