(Continued from first poge.) step of fate. This was war; comi-h veil made, and reasoning war. It was war, too,:n all its pomp and glory,as well as in its strength and we at once comprehended we were beaten. Jn vaiu did our startled faculties dart alertly hither and thither for some hope; in vain did our thoughts turn quickly upon Patterson. It would not do. Johnson was there before us, with his cool fresh thousands, and our Water loo was lost. That steady and nntired host outnumbered the whole of our worn and stag gering columns, and it penetrated us with a conviction of resistless power. Directly how ever, did we gather up our force, not l>y gen eral order, hut by ouc sensible accord, and sad, and paiued, and wearied, yet conscious of vic tory as far as wc had fought, we folded up our columns for retreat. The only ones whose har dihood clung spitefully to the strife were a tew regulars at the batteries, who, with the infatuation of experts,aud begrimmed with the mire of battle from all ordinary recognition, kept peppering at such batteries as would still provoke their fire. Among the last to turn their faces from the fight they had so gaily sought were the Burn side brigade, which, accompanied by Spraguc and its gallant brigadier, and headed by all of its colonels, retired in line of battle, with orders to cover the retreat. Thus honored for its steadiness, the Ilhod 'lslanders took off their battery, aud the 71st departed with its guns. All, thus far, hud gone well with the departing movement, and our battalions from every portion of the field were retiring with decorum ; when of a sudden some of the per sistent regulars who were charged with the protection of the retreat, getting out of am munition, seut back their caissous for a fresh supply. I have described how that branch of the service, made its charges in the morning, and how recklessly it always sought its way to the front, through the formed columns of "the vol unteers. In the same inauner did it now go back upou its errand, ridding down everything in its road, and scattering the ranks of the regiments in every direction. The volunteers who had never betore seen Mich a sight, and who were already penetrated with the fearful pageant of the descending enemy, couid onlj understand the movement in one "way. Those Hying carriages, and those madly excited men were rushing to the rear, and their action was therefore construed into a wild retreat. The thought which appealed to their agitated minds was that if the regulars were in such haste to escape, it was necessary they should hnry for themselves, and one (earful panic took pos session of them all. Ihe ranks of most of the regiments were broken, the streams of flying men co mingled even officers who had behaved with courage throughout the day, felt justified, by the pre cipitation of the regulars, to urge their men, with a sympathizing sense of pity, to hurry for their lives. Thus, mistake piled upon mistake, ntg avated the misfortune, and culminated in a calamity which will rankle in the pride ot the Republic throughout all her history. It seems marvelous that men who had borne the brunt of battle so bravely during the entire fight,and who left the field against a conrugeous foe with more than equal honors, could have so soon sunk into such puerile bewilderment ; but so it was, and they fled headlong from an en emy more deeply hurt than they, und who naroly dared pursue. The panic soon commu nicated itself to the teamsters of the Federal army,who improperly had pressed too near,and scampering civilians spread the terror with an electric speed fast hack to our rescivcs. The enemy,perceiving this unexpcctediphase f>f our condition, at once sent out his cavalry to harass our flight, and many a fugitive fell before their charges. They rode furiously at our retiring columns, and when defeated of their object by the sublime devotion of our regulars aud their cannon, they compensated their bloody rage by riding down and saber ing the wounded. Carrying their atrocity to the extreme, they even ussailed a hospital and shit the dying within it, and the physicians who were ministering to their wants. One of these retreats they even bunred.and all the helpless sufferers within it were consumed. I must pause here, iu the name of civilization, breeding, and Christianity, to protest my dis belief that these infernal crimes conld have been inspired or warranted by the leaders of their cause ; but that they were perpetrated, ajid iu repeated instances, is beyond dispute. Through all the terror and confusion, how ever, there were several regiments which main tained their self-possession, and amoug these were the Buruside Brigade, the Rhode Island ers and the 71st, bearing tbeir cannon to the bridge, and the entire brigade maintaining a fwm line of battle to- that point. But there new and unmanageable terrors arose, and the bridge being blocked by overturned caissons and ambulances, these precious tr n'cets of the battalion were all necessarily left behind from the utter impossibility of dragging them through the stream. Moreover, the enemy, who had failed to interrupt us at this point in tfie morniog, for fear of discouraging the big Ifederal fly from entering his web, wa9 now hittiog the bridge most accurately with his •hell. Bravery then gave up its heart. Souvr •piippent became the word of all, and every man took to the creek or tried to fly the bridge for himself. Thus was the stream crossed by frantic thousands, who then sought the corner of the woods, while others, charged with water and indifferent from sheer desperation, trudged moodily along the open path, as heedless of the explosions, which were spluttering about their heads, as if they were so many harmless Chinese crackers. A few brave spirits would now and then try to inspire the mass with heart, but the dispair was too deep to be dis ciplined by words, and all such trials vain.— The terrible phantasmagoria of Johnson's three sided square, and those fire-belching gingles now picketed by our dead, were constantly present to their mind, and all felt that it would be through God's mercy only, in holding the sight of the enemy, that any of us would get off aiive. THE ACTION OF THE RESERVE. ITavingnow, by the course of this recital, carried the Federal Army into and through all the perils of the wood, it will be necessary to get them entirely out. This brings us to the acJou of the reserve,and to the four regiments of Kicbardsou, at Bull Run. Of the latter however, I have only to say, that he prevent ed, by his presence, the enemy from turning our flank iu that direction, while the Kew- Jersey Regiments were a sfaegnard against our being outcireled cn our right, either at Centreville, or by the way of Falls Church. The regiments constituting the reserve, un der Acting Major Gen. (Col.) Miles, I have already enumerated at the outset, and the battle, viewed Irom tbeir position, would con sist merely of [a record of sensations. At 5 o'clock p. iu., however, the N. Y. 10th and 31st being well in advance toward Blackburn's Ford, were culled upon to stern the tide of the Virginia cavalry, who were swooping at our retreating forces. An order from Miles, consequently sent the Ist California R'giment under Col. Matheson (N. Y. 23d), forward to their support ; but though the cavalry was thus turned to the right about, it was found to be impossible to stem the mad career of the ex traordinary mass that came pouring back up on Centerville. The best that conld be done, therefore, was lor the California Regiment to stayjust where it was, and in absence of further orders, lend what aid it could to the protection of Green's Battery, which was busilv plying its fire upon the harrassing approaches of the Virginia horse. While the 32d was in this position,the 10th and 31st having passed within its range, a youthful Orderly rode up to Colonel Math eson to inform him that the Black Cavalry sheltered from his observation by a piece of woods, were coming upon the right, and if he would take a cut with his regiment across the fields, they would bo turned back upon their errand. The evol* tiqn waft performed gave the protection that was desireu, and the Black Horse gav up its purpose in that quarter While the regimeut, however, was adhear ing to this position, the same youth who had imparted the previous suggestion rode up to the regiment again, and told Matheson he had better fall back on Centreville, as his duty at that spot had been thoroughly performed. As this was about the first sign of orders (with one sin gle exception) he had received during the day, Matheson felt some curiosity to learn who the yoang' Lieutenant 1 was, and whence these orders cam- ; he therefore turn ed sharply on the youth, who, he now perceived, could not be more than 22 or 23, and said, " Voting man, I would like to know your name?" The yonth replied that he was a son of Quartermaster-Genera! Meigs. " By whose authority, then, do you deliver these orders?" was the C'alifornian's next inquiry. The yonngman smiled, and remarked," Well. Sir. the truth is, that for the last few hours I have been giving all the orders for this division and acting as General, too, for there is no General on the field." This incident is worthy of our notice among the lessons of the day. TheCalifornian here took a new position, nearer Cen treville, and watched the terror-stricken crowd as it pas aed by, repelling, with the aid of Green's battery, several charges of the hostile cavalry. While thus posted at fik o'clock p. m.. the enemy's cavalry again (bowed itself in superior force, and were making a threatening dem onstration on the 32d's lelt. when seeing the Ist Massa chusetts coming up from the direction of Bui! Run, Ma theson went to its Colonel (Cowdin). pointed out the cn- I emv. and asked him if he would stand by him and hold ! him, it possible, in check. Cowdin quickly seized the Califnrnian's hand, and, and as he grasped it hard, re plied. with much emotion, that " his regiment could lie 1 depended on—for they had no home but mother earth !" j The I>e Kalb of New-York, which had just come in j fresh front Alexandria, also yielded to Matheson's com- j maud, and thus the danger, being well provided against, ! passed off. The three regiments remained in this firm position till the disheartened trail of fugitives from the i battle field had all passed, and then, accompanied by ! Cowdin's and the l>e Kalb, it fell back with the rest.— ! Leaving his regiment near Centreville in the hands of his ' Lieutenant Colonel, Matheson, who was still without or- 1 ders, now went in search of a General, not caring any longer to perform Genera! himself. He found Miles and Richardson disputing for command, but learning that the former had been superseded by the latter through McDowell's order during the progress of the battle, he took his orders from Richardson during the remainder of the day. That duty, however,;was simp ly to follow the broken and disheartened columns which i poured so grandly forth that morning, tuck to Fairfax, i and thence also to their camps near Washington. Thus ends the story of the most disastrous expedition ] which ever followed the fortunes of onr (lag. The only j consideration which I find in the result lies in the fact, that the enemy have proved themselves as brave as our selves. Hail they once fialtered. or showed the least lack J of courage, they would not be worthy of re union. The great hope ot every soldier in our ranks is, that we shall be able to re-conquer under one banner the loyalty and affection °f o ,tr entire people as of old. And that patriotism .vonld truly be a shabby and short-sighted one. which, when the task is done, would be content, and with such admiration as the world is willing to bestow upon a country, a portion of whose citizens are craven. As for the ront hich we endure, it was not the result j of any lack of manly fortitude on onr part. With equal; valor, we had shown superior prowess, till despair noti- ; tied us to retire. The list of dead and wounded on both sides, will establish a balance of exploit and effectiveness in onr favor. Ours, in fact, will prove to be less than 1.- 000 men in all, not more than 300 of whom were killed- The loss of the enemy in slain is said to be 1,200, while | the wounded and the missing will probably amount to 3,50 more. The loss of guns on our part amounts to nine teen, and some four or five thousand stand of arms. But j these our weary fugitives had discarded in their path, as j a pure measure of relief from fatigues with which their j own generals had ovartasked them, as inadequate com- ; parison of those taken prisoners shows. But we need not reason any further on this great dis aster. It was a glaring blunder, and though tiie penal ties exceed the alue of the lesson, let us hope the calam ity will not be without its profit. I havejno suggestions to put forward. The public, who cannot fail to under stand the whole matter, will make them for themselves. 1 There is but one thing ! desire to add. and th.it is, had j our columns but marched back to CentreviMe from the j batteries they had so stubbornly engaged, in " common I time," the day's work would have been called a Federal j victory, and the asault by our meager divisions, a'"re-; connoissance in force." It was a most providential matter that we h id no more troops than was barely sufficient tor such a " reconnojs sance*'against such a position,and such numbers, for bad we gone upon tlie ground with .">O,OOO soldiers more, we would merely have penetrated a litfle deeper into the Confederate trap, and the result would have heen the same.

DKBIKITY, DYSPEPSIA AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, ROSE OR ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, and indeed the whole ciass of complaints arising from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD. This compound will be found a great promoter of health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul hu mors wnieh fester in the blood at that season of the year. By the timely expulsion of them many rankling disor ders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance ol eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse ont the vitiated blood whenever yon find its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when yon find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; but with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the grta machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation of accomplishing these ends. Rut the world has been egre giously deceived by preparations of it. partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed for it. but more l>ecause many preparations, pretending to be concentrated extracts of it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla. or anything else. During late years the public have been misled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsa parilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself is justly de spised, and lias become synonymous witli imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Ksrsapai ilia. and in tend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy wlii'dh rests upon it. And we think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it i. intended to cure. In order to secure their complete eradiation from the system, the remedy should he judi ciously taken according to directions on" the bottle. Prepared by Dr. J. C. AVER k CO..
