We then went back to the edge of - tlie woods where our hospitals weft: located. , Im a little negro cabin where, the wounded were being carried in, we 'secured the dames Of about dozen in oue note book, and passed overio,ailother andsecured the names 'of the New- York Second killed and wounded. Here we found a prisoner, just brought in, who gave his name as J. P. Pryor; and on questioning him closely we found he was a first cousin of Con gressman Pryor, of the Potter duel notori ety. He. was Brigade Quarteimaster of the Mississippi forces under Gen. Johnston was for five years editor of the .E4' , /e, published at Memphis, Tennessee, and in the,lait.campaign was the leader of the Douglas forces at: Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he edited the -Vicks burg Sentinel. -He said their loss was heavy; that our artillery outnum-bered theirs, and great execution wherever we-bad full sw.eep at them. . The first question he asked, "how about the negroes—haye you - mapy of them in arm's?'.'"None at all," we told him. "Yes, you have," he answered: •qi have seen a good many; and there is - one now, with a.mpsket." - We informed him that they were servants merel,y.; he' said ' that they .have large numbers of negroes in fine fighting order. lie kept his hat down over his -eyes,' and,. seemed very much downcast. He said they had about eighty thousand men,andthough whipped then, could never be conquered. He had no arms; not even a .sword; his pants were miserable -cotton stuff, with a gold stripe down the sides, and his hat was a Kossuth, and fastened up at the Sides with a button, on whioh , were arnis of the State of Mississippi. A Georgian, who was taken, says their loss was heavy at the • Bull's Run fight. and they would have retreated if we had I:charged boyonets on the battery. I A Louisianian, wlio was caught hiding 'Alia barn, states that he was from Texas, h-and drove cattle to New Orleans, and I one night getting drunk was arrested and forced to juin the Rebel -army the next day, with. large number of , others who were in the same predicament; .and that Ia number in his J tegiment would desert the r tirSt chance., Another prisoner was a 'bricklayer,' and. had to enlist or starve, 'as there was no work; and he must live somehow.' • About four p. uf. a report flew from man to man that General Cameron's broth er, Colonel of the-Seveoty-uintb, was shot through the breast by a cannon ball, and instantly killed.- Lieutenant-Colonel Elliott, Of the Spy. enty-ninth, rode towards Regiment, having been after . reiifforcements, wifen a ball cut his horse's- heid off, and threw him down, bruising him so , that he could bare];• escape. All the stragglers now commenced to run towards Ceutreville,_ and the caissons, ambulances, and sutlers' , wagons were ordered tribe taken back at once towards Centreville. • 2- The batteries ,were. ordered around to cover our retreat, and keep the -Rebels from cutting us off frotn Centreville,which was about three miles in our rear, and where we had about - four or five.thousand of.a reserve force; the batteries wheeled ! off and took up the road, and - were re i treating -in good order, 'wben, about half I a mile out, one of the gun carriages. w•as A portion 'of Sherman's and Carlisle's were left in the roadside, the gunners cutting the traces and running the hor ses. This put the infantry in a perfect panic . ; they broke ranks indiscriminately and commenced to run ; knapsacks, hay: ersacks, guns, eatridge boxes, hats, coats an everything, being thrown in, addirec tion.< The men .were parchedfor Water and were falling in every direction. 'Offi cers W„Re equally - panic stricken with - the privates,,and in vain we 'endeavored to stop the retreat. Charles Ogden, George R. SMithiSher iffllarper, Russell Errett, of Pittsburg, and.others, begged otir men. not to re treat; and pleaded_with tears for theM to go back and get Col. Cameron's We took-muskets and"threatened to shoot them down if they did not; but we Might as well have pleaded with the winds - to cease blowing. The clouds of dust were now perfectly suffocating. -The enemy appeared in sight, firing their guns, the- balls raining upon its thick; emerging'from the valley we saw the reporter of the World, with the stan dard of the Massachusetts Fiftli waving it over him and pleading for the men •to rally around him;, but it was in vain, they heeded him not. An officer asked the privilege of riding behind him. It was granted, and before they had gonea bun dled .yards, ashetfrom.the thicket struck the officer in the head, and.he reeled off. Mr. Stedman wrapped up' the stattdard, and galloped about a'mile „ahead and af terwards succeeded in rallying a •large force. Our friends had.now all left, and the troops were. Byingr, and'at the cry that the cavalry were riding them down and butchering all; we started for Centreville, I In the edge of the woods we noticed Mr. Villard, of the New York - herald trying to pacify theirien; telling them it was on- I ly a panic.

Here, the road, was strewn with wreaks of -wagons, provisiona, muskets, blankets, anithunition, :and everything 'the men.' could divest tbeiiiselves of.

About a mile froths, Centre iille,--an attempt Wits made , to rally the men but_ with little success. A few thou sand were stopped, but Many without weapons. On the high hill top at Cen treville a eelemn of-infantry was seen:, -withtheli 'gleaming baionets., On the top the artillery were also drawn up pre- pared to fire. • . The Garibaldians,Eiastein't and Bleuk er's regiments were drawn up at the foot of the hill, and escaping men ordered to fall in. Loud cheering wis done,and the rallying cry given, but it was but tittle or no.use—men had no *officers' Mien, they did halt,. and so they kept on retreating; I "water, water I" was the cry ; "give me 1 water or I'll sink," was heard - from all sides ; not a'drop was to be had fit to drink; the' wells were an d,rained, and the clouds of dust filled the air at every point. We gotin the'rear of a negro. hut, and 1 there secured water thick with filth, but ! it was the best to be had; a number of buildings were used for hospitals, and on every side cries were made for surgeons: All the inhabitants nearly had. fled from Centreville, expecting it to be I stormed by the Rebels. Guards were ! stationed at the feu" wells not dry- to al- ! low no water except to the wounded and 'sick. A house.on the top of the hill had I 'been burnt the previous night, and what few men conlir.be induced' to work were engaged'in throwing up afi embankment, some eight feet thick; out of the ruins and ofdtrt ;.it feet but about two hundred feet square.- Orders were now 'circula ted for the men .to gather at their last camping ground,, around Centreville it was heeded by someiobut others neglect ed it and kept' up the stampede. N s o pro visions were. to he had, and the metivere• all hungry, havinir ' had. nothing to eat 'since two o'clock, a. pt., and but little or : no water. At' six and a half o'clock,p.m. when we started for. Washington the , troops were coming in, and not one of any coolness or self-possession supposed Our fii - rces would retreat from Centerville. The firing oche enemy was kept up on our rear with artillery, and their cavalry rode through and through ' Cuttingx and slashing with perfect fiendishness. • 'We !, heard of a number of the most infamous , and damning acts ever committed by sav age tribes. • , Our wounded and dead are . nearly all on the battlefield in the hands of the, ene my ; such as could crawl or walk were trying to get -away, and .such pitiable spectacles were seen as made our heart sick; but we dmid hot help them; the few :unbalances were started off early with the wounded_and never ruturned.— We saw a number lying.on the roadside; with medicine tthests,,and bandages. The,immense baggage train, bonsisting of some sit hundred or a thousand wag ons, lined the road for ft mile and a half `on the Warrenton rtpd towards Bull's Run, two miles bacl of Centreville.— . When the panic started the wagons tried to fall back on Centreville, but a number were upset and broken (Lawn; the drivers would immediately leat-e them and escape on the horses. Others would throw out. their load of provisioit'aud stores, and fill up with soldiers and 'muskets; the 'body of the luggage, however, got in the rear of Centrevill. • It is utterly impossible to ascertain the.number lost, either prison ers, killed or wounded. The most exag crated statements are afloat. COlonel . Cameron, Lieutenant-Colonel Haggerty (Sixty-ninth), and others are .reported killed, but as we did-not see the bodies, we will give no names we do' not -know to be correct, so 'as to avoid giving un-. neeesSarydistress to the families. of the ' unfortunate. It will be' several days before our. nett loss is known, as so many men are scat-, teredall over the country. • Our opinion is,- and it can go for what it is Werth, that after our army werevic torious, we were defeated by a flank movement of troops brought up from Ma-- nassas Junction, and who attacked Schthick's and Tyler's unprotected rear:— Had this-been amply protected, and rein forcements-turned back the flank move ; Mont, we could have kept up our advan tage, and drove them to the Junction, al though they outnumbered us, and had every advantage arising from choosing their position and fortifying theinselVes;. and their thorough knowledge of the country and its mountainous character, giving them every natural advantage. If we are to have anytnore battles, God 'save its from such • Generals 'as Schenck and some of the other eonimanders, who -figtired on. Sunday, as they are worse en : crakes than Davis and Lee. A gentleman came to us.at a late hour last t4ening near Centreville, and 'after hearing of .Schenek's actions,: told us We had opposed him for wanting a-Command, and he Was thankful he had not received it, for his military knowledge was inktiflicient • for the responsibility,and there are more who will throw up their commissions and take muskets. Col. - Miles was sent - with deipatches from Gen. Scott, while lie was lying in,l Centreville, in the hottest of the fight,for 1 Gem MeDoWeli, whichle . .had orders to deliver immediately. .• H e, at once without - making any attempt to do so, said if Gem Scott wanted to get his head blown off, let him take them himself; he Would not' do so, and so they never went. Nye left Centreville with the chekring news that General Mansfield,' with artil. 0 ler "'lnd an immense forCe, was . coming u 1 turn the Rebels back: '. About a mt east ofCentreville we met the First New JerSey,lwith the Colonel riding at their bead,. and. his staff pleading' for the men to return ; hiS druintrrer. corps were playing "Yankee Doodle," and their cot. ors were flying;* the men kept : cheering all the • time, and drging -one .: apother to. return; they. - were :nearly . worn out - with their forced march from ..--Vienna.

When they rode into.the field with General Mcr Dowell atAlleir head it took the column' four hours and a half to pass by the lower part of Centreville and was as grand a sight •at the early-dawn of day' s was ever witnessed. All along the road were --:Ii thousand wagons with provisions- guarded by the Newdersey Fourth on their - Way to Cen terwille but had been halted - tolearn whet her it were safe for, them to go on.

Romance of Real Life. • It was a lovely evening. in the latter ,Part. of the month of June. My hoine, at that. time was in one Of those New Eng land towns, lying directly on Long Island ound, which of late has been so much noted as a place for Sunimer. resorts. On the one hand, 'is the Soiind; its blue ters stretching.southward as fir as the eve can reach; with the white' sails and . tall masts of the ships, lifting up a g ainst the sky—sailing off into• the dim, hazy distance, and seeming to gild and- disap pear in the ether. On the North •and Nest, are high hills, end dark:.' forests ;. and on the East, a small, ciniet4iver, with weeping-willoW trees growmci the banks, and large flecks of white ;ducks and geese, sitting lazily upon its grass everywhere there, is.of au em erald green. FronAmong the rows of tall -pbplars, greyttrunked sycamoreS, and ancient elms, the neat white!cottages; and stately dwellings ofthe citizens are . seeif peeping. The gardens, too are, stocked with roses, lilies, heliothopes, verbenas, every variety of, flowers ; with. marble vases, tiny fountains, and. small latticed bowers covered with creeping vines and fragrant honeysuckles. There are sights of beauty all around ; and every musical sound of nature, from the sea, river, wa terfall, trees, wind, birds'and,insects while the air is heavy . witb the aroma, of 'the flowers. - • - I stood. at evening, on the day I men tioned, among the white lilies, that were profusely blooming in , ' graden. I had Watche&the tiny humming-birds just be fore evening ; as they fluttered their rest less wings over the lily-bells, drinking in, as the night-den:tell, the nectar lying deep in those greet chalices. I. had, watched the honey-bee, as they also : revealed, in the sweets, flitting from roses, to • lilies, and then*to ..the boneS•sucki6 flowers; and: after .gathering pollen froth 'each. upon their tiny feet, I saw them wing their way home to the I !
