WS. MONDAY, JULY 22, 1861. Forever float that standard sheet! Where breathes thetas but falls Were is? With Freedom's soil beneath fur test. And Freedom's banner streaming e'er nal Wa continued to receive, up till an early hour this morning, bulletins from the battle field. near Manassas Junction. It Is evident that the contest has been a terrible one, apd that great loss on both sides bas occurred. But, step by step, .our brave troops forced their way onward, and compelled the enemy to retire. If dauntless valor and o herole deter snination. can enable them to drive finiung corn from his stronghold they will, doubtless, be fully triumphant. The Military Movements. The Military movements now progressing are of such a momentous and deeply exciting character that the profoundest depths of the American Mart are stirred, and the issue of the terrine contest which is impending is awaited with intense anxiety , by thirty mil lions of people. It is evident that the moment has arrived _when, for the that time, the main bodies of the two armies are to encounter each , other, and when the great battle of the campaign is to be 'fought. We have an abiding confidence in the final result of. the struggle, but as our forces de. not appear to. enjoy any special ad vantages over theit antagonists; though they have assumed 'the attitude of assailants, no higher reef , could be given of -their saperior discipline , and - valor than their triumph in the attack they .have commence& It Is supposed that General Bssuniatinn has under his command as many men as General MoDewitra,, 'mid.. perhaps more. Be occupiee, too, a position which was spe cially selected on account of its great natural strengti; and which ho has been busily en gaged for a long period in fortifying, until, according to the statement of a correspondent of the NeW Orleans Picayune, he has erected *tit line ef forts some two miles in extent, alg-sag in forni, with angles, sellouts, bastions, caaemates, and everything that properly be longs to werks of this kind." One of his strongest outposts, however, was located at Ball's Run; and, after a sharp struggle, our troops are reported to have cap tared %and to have pressed forward upon Manassas Junction, where, from present indi odious, the enemy will make a desperate stand. Gen. Jonsson, alarmed by the rapidadvance of Gen. fdeDowst.n, and fearful of having hiti communications cut off, hastily retired from Winchester and joined Gen. BEA.IIREGARD before his retreat could be intercepted. The forces of the latter have thus secured an im portant reinforcement; but : Gen. ~PATTERSON'S division can now advance in the same direction tad Gen. WeDevicin's division will thus soon be as much strengthened as that of his antago nist. Various explanations are given of Genera, P.maasott's order to_ fall back upon Charles town. A correspondent of the Herald, writing from that point on tho 17th, says that it w►as "doubtless based upon the idea that to continue overland transportation from Hagerstown by way of Williamsport and Xartinsburg towards Winchester, a dis tance of forty-one miles, would require too 'wavy a force to guard the route. By seizing upon this goint General Perrsasos obtains possession of the Winchester and Potomac Railroad from this point to Harper's Ferry, and, however limited its capacity may be for transportation, it will save the wear and tear and delay attendant on the slow move ments of a couple of hundred wagons. Be sides, all necessary supplies can be brought by the Baltimore and Ohio road from Balti more to Sandy Hook, one mile from the ferr:y. By taking this materiel of war one mile up the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, they can be taken across the breast of the Government dam, or, Indeed, most of them can be boated, or cross scows, to the wharf just above the desolate looking piers of the barnt railroad bridge. Thus a nearer and more certain base of sup plies is had, and a most essential element of success." Other writers suggest that he de sired to prevent a union between the forces of Gen. JOHNSTON and the men who have been eying before Gen. lic()LELLia's victorious legions. Capturiug the Captors. One of the most interesting incidents of the present war was telegraphed on Saturday. Its detfils may be given in a few words. The steamer Sumter, which is carrying on piracy under a letter of marque from JEFFER goi DAVIS, captured the brig Cuba, bound from Trinidad to London, on the 4th of July, sad placed her in charge of a prize crew of Bye, with instructions to steer ber into the nearest safe port. The captain and crew of the Cuba were retained on board, and, four days after his capture, the captain (whose name is Srour,) taking .advantage of his cap tors being unprepared, quietly retook the prize, seized and bound the crow, and sent two of them, an Englishman and a Scotchman, into New York, by the brig Costa Rica, and was to follow at once with the other pirates. This is turning the tables to some effect. We read of inch adventures in nautical romances, but they rarely come before us, as this does, strong In the actuality of fact. The Tariff. We publish this morning several interesting articles in rogard to the Tariff. One is a corn frinnication which dist inctly enumerates the amendments that Hr. Cuasz proposed in his recent report. The other is the bill as it passed in the House of-Representatives. It Mill be seen that some of the recommends. tions of the Secretary of the Treasury (par ticularly those referring to the duties on iron) have not been adopted, but that moat of his suggestions havo been favorably considered. The uneasiness which was felt by our Im porters a few days since, on account of the ramored probability of the passage of a pro vision making all goods now on deposit in warehouses, and actually on shipboard and bound to this country, pay whatever increased duties may be imposed by the •uew tariff, has been set at rest by section seven of the new bill, which makes them subjeCt only to the ex isting duties. The Senate has not vet acted finally upon the tariff question, and it seems probable that the House bill may undergo some amendments in that body. The Returning Volunteers. Within a week or ten days the three months' term of a number of our Penneylva- Ida volunteers will expire, and such as do not intend to re-enlist will, no doubt, soon'returri to their homes. In a general order recently leaned by the Adjutant General of .the United States War Department,,he says that "vo lunteer regiments about to be discharged will be returned to the States in which they were raised in time to be there mustered out at the expiration of their service." Tics rairroft Cosonass met at Richmond en Saturday last. Its members have nearly all rendered themselves conspicuous by their advocacy of ultra pro-slavery and disunion Sentiments.

WASHINGTON COBUSPOSDENGE Letter from " OCCanOnaLtt (Correspondence of The Prem. Wasurawrow, July 21, MI. Before this letter reaches you, you may haie re calved the telegraphic details of a great battle between the army of the Renablio and'that, of Use. traitors under command of Beauregard. 'I write'on a lovely Sabbath morning, with the church chimes ringing in my ears, and the fragrance of fresh flowers filling my room The departure of most of the troops for the battlefield—the great number of amateurs,. correspondents, Congressmen, and citizens, who have gone • over to describe and to see the forthcoming oonfilet---have made our city seem more than usually peaceful to day. Nothing recalls , war but the march down Capitol Hill of a detaahment of troops, to the air of Dixie, played by a drum and fire. I . see a locomotive on the military railroad, con structed by Tom Soott—our Tom Soott—whose achievements in mitering the broken roads of Ma ryland for the use of the Government, in defiance of the eff Arts of the traitors, have made him part of the, present history. I see one of his locomotives standing, ready,for a• start somewhere, he proved by the sobbing of its boilers and the restless histe lag of its steam. Bu everything else is still; The great - armies are about twenty five ;miles die tent from Washington, and we await the news Of their 'movements with the greatest anxiety - We listen for the sound of the cannonade, and hunger for the telegraphic message, ,isveit as we pray in the house of God. ..We know that there are thousands around us who desire to see the ounce of our country iefeeted. Thuti it is, that even in the midst of what looks like peace, all the elements of war are at work, is it not awonderful and painful thing, that , in snit a ,confliat tiny. por tion of our peoPle in this, quarter.shonid be, found averse to the cause of the country? , , It appears, that Johnson hae managed to elude the _column under General Patterson, and to add his column to that of Beauregardi thus largely in creasing the forces of the traitors at Manama- On Thursday' last Major General N. P. Banks was assigned to the command of Pattemoit's divbdon, and Al , ijor General John A. Aix-=appointed'to. . succeed General Banks in the important 'post:. ti3n of General-in Chief of 'the military district of which Baltimore is the centre. I have no , doubt that General Patteran will be able to justify himself in - not 'having moved with more promptitude upon the enemy. The nap= e tare of Johnson, who is the finest field officer of the Confederate army, would have crushed at least one of the heads of. the hydra, and the delay of General Patterson in the fulfilment of this task is charged to other counsels than hisown. His reason, for not making a dash at Johnson, so as to pre. vent him from Ain't:lg the traitors,at Manassas, is now said .to be attributable to , the fact. Umbels, time of a majority of-the regiments in his divislen (Pennsylvanians all) expires in a few days, and that they were unwilling tore`enlist for any coming DOMe or for the war. General Scott, under the oircumitanoes, deemed it bait to relieve General Patedrson, and to put in his place the young' and energetic' (thief, whose short' experience .at Balti more has refiated so much credit upon himself. However the lint battle at Manassas may re sult, great consequences will 01/8128. If the armies of the Republic are repulsed, a 'clamor will be raised alike againit General Scott and the Presi. dent, who has evidently approved the Seaman! plans. • If they are not repulsed, the Cassandra of the newspaper press will be vastly disappointed. The bitterness of the foes of the war policy of the Administration, who belong alike to the Republi can and to the. Seoession.parties, is almost Me l scribable. They magnify every mistake, and re fuse to do justice to etre* , success; and they seem to be united in a common purpose of breaking down the very men who are doing their beat to maintain the flag. The advantage of the traitors over the regular Government 'is considerable, in the fat that they have selected. their own ground, and roan draw supplies from Richmond by direct railroad line. Our troops must reach the field by long and pain: ful marches, carrying subsistence, do., with them. It is to be hived that we shalihave no moretalk hereafter of opposition to the plan of Gen Scott, is creating a great army for the defenceof the Re public. The idea of disbanding all the troops'so ably collected: and diselplined at the end of the war, and to dwarf the, army to the small dimen sions of that of &small German principality, is an absurdity. Gen. Scott is the best judge in such matters. Let us follow his lead; and hold him responeible. It is now mom than ever certain that this Republic can never be sustained without an efficient standing army. Ocoaaroitan: The. Field Before the nattle: Correrpondence of The From] WASHINGTON, July 20, 1861. It was an imposing speotaole to see the vast army last night on their camp ground at Centreville Each brigade was assigned a position, and all were in close proximity. There were few tents brought forward, and none of those on the ground had been put up. The evening was fine and no one suffered by exposure. Many of the soldiers were bury writing. ' They resorted to various inventions to secure the means of getting off a few lines to parents, or wife, or friends. Paper was liberally provided, and envelopes franked by Senators wh6 accompanied the army. And in the near prospect of a severe engagement with the enemy, how sin cere must have been the contents of those letters!' With many, no future opportunity will be afforded to cum munioate with the dear absent.ones; for It is folly to evade the fact that the fortifications at Manassas are not' to be taken without a heavy sacrifice of life. A. _letter frcim Jeff. Davis' own hand_t , -to poisession of our cffioers, in whioh he says that there mast be no retreat from this point,- as a disaster at Manassas would ruin their cause. Oar men are not insensible to the perils of their position. But I can tell you there is no division of feeling among the men in the work before them. They ucderstend the position of the clout. try ; they feel and know that their came is a just ono, and they are ready to die on the field rather than compromise with traitors. It is not possible t) say there are hot individuals in the army whd regret their position in the face of the foe, but I' can lay, from personal Observation and converse don, that I found not the slightest indication or that spirit in the ranks. They are eager for the contest—not by the prompting, of revenge—net under the delusion that they are going to shoot down the foe, and come oat of the contest unin. Jared. They fight not for personal glory, but to defend the nation from a disastrous downfall . Their contest is not with men, but with traitors. They look not forward for place and power, but for peace and liberty. Not for kings do they con tend, but for the rights of a free people. Severe things are Said, .it is true, against Col. Walrath, of the Twelfth New York Volunteers. His actions before the fire of he enemy were not those of a gallant commander, but of a coward it is hoped he will be able to satisfy his men and give the regiments in the brigade some suffioient reasons for his sudden retreat from the enemy's guns, and that he may be able to restore confidence in his ability and his bravery. It is rare, however, to hear serious anousatlons against a military man without there is some good ground. for their cur rency, and ff such is the foot in this ease, en in vestigation will bring. it tolight, and Cola Wal rath will be disgraced. Ms regiment behaved . nobly until after their commander retired preolpi- . tately, and left theni to fight on their own hook— confusion was the result, and inefficiency followed this most unfortunate affair. The matter is fully commented upon in camp and among civilians, and deeply regretted. Bat it is a fortunate air. camstance that the discovery was made before he was assigned an important position in the approach lug contest. The yaet oolumn of 60,000 men now In the field, with regiment after regiment going forward by railway to join them, indicates a determination on the part of the Commender-in-ohief, General Boott; to render the engagement a short and decisive one There is slim the utmost _confidence in that daring spirit, General McDowell, who has command of the division. His pant military experience, his thorough knowledge of military teetics, his deter mined will, and enthusiasm for the Union, are significant facts, and they cause the fullest confi dence on the part of his men, in the ability of their commander to nut the rebels to flight after the , first regular engagement. General McDowell has aExty cannon in the field, and on my return from the seat of war, I passed a number of heavy can non, drawn by hor4es, en route for Centreville Veit quantities of ammunition, k o , are also going forward, in trains of one hundred heavy, covered, font horse Government wagons. I passed one of these magnifieent specteoles on my re.nrn from Centreville, and strung along for a mile; on a straight road, their appearance was solemnly im pressive. There is a little army of editors and reporters on the held, and among them one of the editors of Tau Fuses, from Philadelphia-1 , whoee-grartle sketches will not fail to be acceptable to your readers.

In addztton to the' above, I have it from two re liable sources that JIIET Davis is at Manassas, and that hie language to his officers is to fight to the last, as this engagement will decide their fate. To-day oar citizens have gone over in large numbers. Teams were engaged last night, and many parties started off this morning at tyro o'clock, and others continued to go out during the • morning and forenoon. The teams were all taken up. One young . man was late last evening trying to get a team to carry oat a metallio coffin to bring home a • brother's body who had been killed (OnowaLL, of Chelsea, Mass.), at the masked bat- teries en Thursday. The price asked for a horse and wagon was fifty dollars. By the aid of friends, however, he was saved from extortion, and went out this morning: Among those. who started out e arly this morning was one of the editors of The Press, from your city, from whom you will re ceive some vivid des criptions of the scenes at.the . . seat of war. . taTroops are moving out to-day.

But the for bearance of the Government to the South only made her more outrageous, till finally she -.as Intuited a few men at Fort Sumpter with the very stuns she had stolen from theidovernment. and our flag trampled under foot, when the people voted as one man, and said they would assert and maintain the dignity of the Governuient. The Ecnator from Indiana, Mr. Bright, says there are three parties here; the fact is there are fohr One, a majority of those on the other side who are prosecuting the war merely to sustain the Govern: mentunder the Constitution ; another, the minori ty, who seek to mike thia the occasion to raise a hue and cry againit slavery, under the plea of the Constitution and Union. On this side of the Cham ber there are those who belong, to the ilemociretiti party who Cannot tionderan the acts of the Setith. ern States, and are not willing to support the Go vernifient; but still there are others here among the number, who-have never °banged their opinion to the uties of ,the Government in regard to slavery, llnt believe it to be a sounder duty to give their voices and votes to sustain the G overnment. by all constitutional means. • • He &Mended. that this was simply a war to en force the lavas and maintain the Government. The people were as willing to lay down their lives to prevent any infraotien of the right of property and the Oonetitution at the South as anywhere.

He intended that the South had no cause to revolt; but be had be ocme satia fied that it was the settled purpose of the South to sets the occasion of Mr Lincoln ' s election to precipitate the rebellion He asserted further, - that it was a whams of the fostered, and of the leading pelitiolaris.of the South for a 'quarter of a century to brash up the Goeiernment, and establish a Go : vernment the corner stone of which was slavery._ He referred to the deolaratirme of Mr kanoey tut an evidenee that no 40MT:remise would be accepted, but the moment had arrived at which to strike for independence.

DESTRUOTITE FIRE.—AbOnt tWO O'CIOCk y eetiirda'y morning, Sergeant Dougherty and Offi cer Bhourds, of the Sitith Ward, discovered a fire at the bakery of Adorn Mop ' located at 209' Race street. The fi re appeared to have originated on the flistiloor front room, scrupled as 7181070, sad the • domes ?rearmed so rapidly, that, notwith standing' the exertions of the firemen, who were proMptly on the ground, the stook, consisting of bread, cakes, Jim, , was completely destroyed and damaged to the art -nt of $5OO. The house itself was considerably iojered, although the loss will be fully coven:li by insurance. The origin of the fire at preaent remains a mystery ; none of the inmates having the slightest ides how it occurred. The room immediately underneath the stab, is used for a bakery, and two men were at work therein when the officers bunt open the &Or and found the fire burning very briskly without tinir being eon salons of the feet. It seems to have started behind the counter, at a point neatly over where the fur nace was placed in the cellar. When discovered, the flames had gained so moat headway that the wife and sister of Mr. Itiop were unable to descend by the stairway, and for a few moments their lives were in imminent peril. The back buildings of this house are 'separated from those of Wso Sulfa by a. small yard.. Mir; Roop ascended the staircase and woke hie wife, while the officers, above alluded to, threw a temporary bridge over the roofs of the buildings, and by this mean! sh Th e, as well is sister, reaches:la place of eatery. e third s to r y ty front room was o ccupied by Mr. Mummy and family. who oleo esotipod with a great deal of difiloulty One of his daughters ascended ' to the root of the building, and walked to the roof of Mr Stele's residence; descending through the trap door. All the inmates were thus rescued from their perilous porition, - without sustaining any injury, whiten must' be attributed in a great mea sure to the activity and presenoe of mind displayed by the Folios officers above mentioned.

It was shown by Mr Penn, in hie evidence, that the pouches which had been tampered with were never in the same oar on any portion of the route except tel Pittsburg and Harrisburg, because they came by different railroads as far as Pitts burg, and then the St Joseph pouch went down the Northern Central from Harrisburg, while the poaches froui Ohio kept on the Pennsyhania Rail road until they reached Philadelphia The amused were, according to the testimony, the wily persons in oharge of the mail between Pittsburg and Harrisburg, on the train which lest Pit , abartr at 4 10 P.
