Where breathes the los but tails Wore net
With Freedom's son beneath our toot,
And Freedom's banner streaming e'er I
The Death of Col Came ron.
While it is a matter of congratulation among
the families of thousands of volunteers who
have been sent forth from our State, that their
sons and brothers were not among the victims
of the late battle, it is a source of universal
regret that Pennsylvania still furnished one
Martyr of high position, great bravery, and
many sterling qualities. We allude to Colonel
CAMaaON, the commander of the New York
Highland Regiment, who was born in our
noble old Commonwealth some sixty years
at*, and has spent an honorable and useful
life within its confines.
Soon after attaining his majority he was ad
mitted to the bar at Lancaster, where he prac
tised law for some years. He was then ap
pointed superintendent of the Columbia Rail
road, and, after the expiration of his official
term, removed to the immediate vicinity of
Milton, Northumberland county, where be
purchased a line farm, and he line ever since
assiduously devoted himself 10 its decoration
and improvement. Agriculture was his favo
rite pursuit, and be took so deepen interest in
its advancement, that for several years he acted
with much efficiency as the president of the Ag
ricultural Society of. Northumberland county.
His estate, which was located on the banks
of the Susquehanna, became, under hie
watchful supervision, one of the most beauti
ful and productive In our State ; and his pro
gressive example, as well as his: precepts, did
much to popularize among his friends and
neighbors the modern improvements in the
great science to which be was devoted.
la comfortable circumstances, with no am
bitions aspirations to gratify, his chief desire
was to pass the remainder of his days in the
peaceful retirement he had selected, when the.
New York Highland Regiment earnestly urged
him to act as their colonel. At first he post
tively declined to accept the position,
honorable as he felt' it to be. Bat
they . persisted in the appeal, and based
it on grounds which were irresistible, as
they claimed his services, on account of the
historical associations connected with his
name, the Clan Cameron having been long
famous In history as the most devoted ad
herents that Scotland contained to the , c Crown
and Covenamt"—a sentiment which, in the
changed atmosphere of America, finds a mani
festation in tmawerving loyalty to the Union
and the Constitution. Colonel CAussorr has
always borne, among all who knew him, a re
putation tor undaunted bravery and a high•
sense of personal honor, which few men at
tain in civil life, and he finally felt that he
could not turn a deaf ear to such entreaties.
The chief fear of those who knew him best
was that on the field of battle he would be too
regardless of his personal safety; and these
forebodings have been unhappily realized, for
in the very thickest of the fray, believing that
&tintless valor would force the enemy to re
treat, he dashed into a murderous fire, and
while the war•cry, gc Scots, follow me," was
upon his lips, a swift winged messenger of
death closed his mortal career.-
He leaves a widow, but no children. He
was a younger brother of. the Secretary of
War. He always acted, politically, with the
Democratic party, and his name was on
several occasions favoraoly mentioned as the
Democratic nominee for Congress in his dis
trict, but be was, we believe, never nominated
for that office. His personal appearance was
very commanding, as he was over six feet in
height, of splendid proportions, and fine coun
tenance. The regiment which he comma ded,
like all other men who had been associated
with him, learned to love and. respect him
deeply, and his surviving companions in-arms,
in common with his numerous relatives and
friends, will deeply lament his loss as one of '
the most saddening incidents of an ever-mem
orable day.
Tun x ILLIGENON received yesterday still
further strengthens the conviction that the
first reports of the late battle greatly exag
gerated the losses of our army. The number
of killed and wounded is evidently much less
than was at first supposed, and a considerable
portion of our forces effected their retreat in
good order. The enemy suffered so severely
that they were little inclined to attempt to se
riously harass our rear, and it seems that not
only did the gallant Col. Enure's, of our
city, return to the battle field on Sunday night
and and it all clear, but that he brought off six
pieces of artillery, which be landed safely at
Washington, and that Capt. Gtssoa , another
Pennsylvanian, of the regular army, occupied
Oentreville yesterday morning, and from that
point sent back for forage.
No more cheering indication of the &runt
ime spirit of the friends of the Union could be
given than the numerous new tenders of ser
vice which have been made Once the late dis
aster occurred. It is sufficient for the Ameri
can people to know that their country is in
danger, and needs their aid. Regiment after
regiment is already pouring rapidly into Wash
ington. Nearly every ono of the three-months
.voinnteers avows his willingness to re-enlist
for three years or during the war. The re
cruiting stations are thronged with applicants
for admission Iwo the ranks of the patriot
army. On Monday, when rumors of a total
rout were prevalent, at one place, where only
fifteen additional men were needed, three
hundred were offered. And at all other sta
tions a similar alacrity to enlist has been
evinced. The leas of the recent battle by our
foes would have been fatal to them, but we
are only stimulated to redoubled exertions by
having the tide of victory in one Instance
turned against us.
The ParaBittn Feeling.
A. gentleman who has 'recently returned to
this country from Paris, states that the ex
citement there. in , regard to American affairs
Is, if possible, greater - than--in. this country;
and the current of popular feeling is so
strongly in favor of the Union cause in our
great struggle that it is far more dangerous to
publicly advocate Secession there than in
Philadelphia. He was repeatedly asked, in
tones of the deepest anxiety, it Can it be pos.
eible that your noble experiment of free go
vernment is about to prove a failure 7"—with
the remark that et millions of Frenchmen
'would regard such a sad result almost as a
personal calamity, because they have. always
looked forwa - d hopefully to a period when their
dcscendaate, if not themselves, might share
our freedom and prosperity." The most un
popular thing Lome NAPOLHON could do
would be to recogatze, or in any other way to
aid the Southern insurgents.

WASIINGTON, July 2s, 1861.
It would be folly to deny that the most intense
anately continues to prevail as to the intentions of
the rebels since the battle of Manama on Sunday
last. It would be equal folly to deny that the Fe
deral army has been completely defeated—not
annihilated, but panic struck. During last night
the friends of the Union were disturbed by the ap
prehension that the troop. of the Confederate.,
flashed with success, might attempt a sudden cap
ture of Washington; while, on the other hand, the
enemies of the Republlo, who are to be found, as I
have repeatedly said in this ecirrespondenoe, in
large numbers in this city, were no leas eager to
hear shouts of the triumphant Confederates. There
are so many reasons why Davis and his aooom
pilots should make the attempt to attack and se
cure this important position, that the fears of the
patriotic men and the hopes of the traitors may be
readily accounted for. me, Lincoln and his Repub
lican Cabinet; Lieutenant Owneral Scott and his
splendid staff; and Congtess. largely Republican in
both of its branches, with the city filled with lead
ing Northern men ; the archives of the depart
ments ; the publio buildings and all the !cool.
leotions surrounding the place, constitute, as
it were, a series of temptations to a vioto
rives army almost irresistible la their oha
rooter. Besides, if this capital can be taken,
Maryland could eoaroely be held by any force,
and when Maryland and "Virginia, and the po
litioal metropolis of the nation, are lost, where
Is the Union ? What indeed is left to us? Talk
aa we may of the Northwest, when the month of
the Mississippi is held by revolted Louisiana, and
both of its shores fortified for hundreds of miles,
may not the Northwest itself be driven'off by com
morels! reasons, when the capital le lost, to seek its•
safety by Bach a treaty as would out it tom from
the other free States? Beaten at this point, the
effigy of the Union and the Constitution would
simply be left to Pennsylvania, New Ragland, and
New York.
But in proportion as this aspect of the ease is pre
stinted to the rebels, the neoesaity of protecting the
capital is impreesed upon the President and Calif
net and all good patriots. In my opinion it cannot
be taken by any,foroe. We already have in and
around Washington forty thousand troops of all
descriptions, many of them,diepirited, it is true
after the event of Sunday, bat a large proportion,
fresh, and ready for any emergency: Our great
need is artillery, and yet the very knowledge of
this desideratum has stimulated the Government
to the meet vigorous and rapid preparations within
the; last twenty . foer hours. A call was made early
last week by the Secretary of War upon Gov Cur
tin for the fifteen reserve regiments of Pennsylva
nia, and Gov. Dennison, of Ohio, ptedged himself
for ten more from that State on Sunday evening.
Meanibile every precaution has been taken to
protect the railroad between Washington and Bal
timore against the incursion of the nioh, which has
been greatly encouraged by recent events. The
sagacity of Generals Butler, Cadwalader, and
Banks, In disarming the disloyal populace of that
city, under General Scott's ardere, is now 'pion
didly vindicated. This populate, burning to take
up, arms against the flag, and eager to overawe and
overwhelm our troops, have been rendered almost
harmless by the fact that they have no
means of attack. The fortifiestions oppo
site Washington are eotapletety manned; and
oa the northern side of the city a large force
has been stationed, in order to prefent an nnex
potted assault on that quarter. The coneequences
of our- defeat on Sunday, disheartening as they
have been, have not been without some compose
tion. They will, MEW, give rise to many now ax
pedients on the part of our political leaders. Shall
we onntinne to hold Virginia t Shall Patterson's
' late, now Banks', division be recalled to Washing
? Bow far-must we strengthen the army (late
McClellan's) under .Rosenerants in Western-Vir
ginia ? Have we mensnough-to do all-them things
without weakening our centre, and enabling the
disloyal population -of Maryland to rise against
tie? Are we to abandon the Union men
of Eastern - Tennessee to their fate ? Shall
we submit to the haughty demand of Ma
gottin of Kentucky, who;insists that the policy of
neutrality shall be observed toward that Common
wealth by the General Administration? Them
are questions frequently asked. _There can be but
one answer to the propcieition In regard to the
Union men of Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee
If they continue firm atter the battle of Manassas
—if that affair does not drive thempell mail into li
the ranks of the Disunionist., as some apprehend,
—then the duty of Mr. Lincela and his advisers is
so imperative that every , nerve should be strainesl
to protect theta against their enemies. You will
perceive tiled Andrew . Johnson is voting steadily
with. the Government in the Senate, and' that
every Northern Senator, without distinction of
party, has, since the battle of Sunday, ranged
himself on the same side. Breekinndge was de
fiant en Monday in a short debate that took place'
in the Senate, showing the utter insincerity of his
Uolon professions, and Henry May, of Baltimore,
is known to have telegraphed to bis censtituente a
despatch intended to inflame them to a new de
monstration against the pease and order of: the
city. e.
Nothing will prevent a mere sectional contest
bat a successful demonstration for the permanent
protection of this oapltal, and the permanent sup
pression of insurrection and inoendiary influences
in the State of Maryland.
The comments upon General Patterson's policy
continue to be most severe. Late on Friday and
Saturday week he is said to have insisted that
Johnson had not escaped him, but was encamped
at Winchester, and nearly a week ago it is assert
el and believed that he received a despatch from
the Lieutenant General demanding that he should
more upon Johnson, so as to prevent a janotion be
tween the forces of that able rebel and the army of
the Confederates at Manassas. The forces seder
J ,hneon wore known to be inferior to those under
Patterson, and if the latter bad made a de
monstration upon his adversary two weeks ago,
he would have seized him, and probably pre
vented the catastrophe which overtook us on
Sunday last. Snob is the pride= freely
made in all quarters, and I repeat them with no
satiefaotion, as you may be well assured. News
just received states that General Patterson's divi
sion has moved upon Harper's Ferry. lam happy
to add that the statement that the Pennsylvania
three-months volunteers in his command would not
re•enilst, but insisted upon their discharge, even
in the face of the enemy, is unfounded. A gen•
Henan, high in authority, says they were quite
willing to serve twenty days longer, if assured of
a chance to attack Johnson. OCCUR lONAL.

Wenn/term, July 22,;1881.
There is no use 'of concealing the fact, however
terrible it may be to realise, that the army of the
Union, under command of General Stonewall, has
been completely routed. I endeavored to intimate
the and intelligence in my letter of yesterday; I
had hoped, however, that subsequent advicea
would have enabled me to say that the gallant,
the superhuman aoudad of our troops had met the
rewards of bravery. Beery account that comes,
comes filled with disaster. Beery eye is sad,' and
the exultation of Yesterday has given place to the
gloom and apprehension of to-day. The present is
one of sorrow, the future has but few gleams of hope.
We have Sent into Virginia the best appointed
dautoton of our grand arniy, we have fought the
greatest battle aver fought on the Continent, and
we have been- not only Beaten, but our army has
been routed, and many , of xis best regiments
wholly demoralized. The narrative of this dis
aster will be my duty ; you may make your own
COMIICIBiOIIII, and solve• the terrible political• pro
blew it presents to the American people.
It was impossible for me, in the heaeof a terri
ble engagement, exactly to locale the position of
our forces during the battle;'but I find my cen
ter:tura of yesterday verifirid, that it was not at
Bull's Ran, but at fdanagetta GOP. In other words,
that General McDowell; with an army which, in• ;
eluding the reserves it Gentreville, did not num •
ber more than forty thousand, actually attacked
the rebel forces at . Mammas Gap, where Batt en gard has been for months preparing big fortifica
tions, and where he lied lined the hills with ela
borate and carefully-constructed • entrenchments,
behind which were . rifled cannon. of large calf
bre, properly manned and supported by an army
which sobirquant information leads me to esti
mate at nearly a hundred thousand men. Be
hind these batteries the Southern 'troops fought
They were constructed in a. manner calculated to
deceive the most experienced-eye . The breast
works were in the shape of a gently sloping bill,
neatly sodded, with here and there a tree left
growing, to more .thoroughly deceive our troops as
to their existence.- Their line of batteries covered
twe or.. three miles. The whole region seemed
literally to be one masked' battery. What ap• '
peered to be a natural declivity would irk a mo
ment bellow forth a most fearful charge of grape
shot, shell; and' canister ; and from every clump
of bushes or shrubbery the terrible messengers of
death would come at the Most unexpected mo
.
I mention this in order that you may more pro
perly understand the detaile of this great battle,
and more properly appreciate the gallantry of our
men. Notwithstanding they,had slept on their
arms, and had marched ten miles to the place of
engagement, they rushed into: the contest weary,
wanting food and water;.they, drove the enemy
from battery and battery ; slowly, and slowly
Putting' them - from their pasition. Prom nine
&Cook till three the battle was a victory,
and, if •at three o'clock there had' been ten ,
thousand fresh men to assist them '`;= if
General Pattereon had only come from
Martinsburg, or MoOlellan over the Bine Ridge
from Western Virginia—or if even Miles' division
of reserver oould have been marched from Centre
ville, We could have driven them from the field
and wen the day. , Gar men were weary, and in
many oases inefficiently commanded. The enemy
was being constantly reinforced Sc rapidly did
they arrive, that many of their regintents rushed
into the field , with their knapsacks on their shoul
ders, and could distinctly see with a strong spy
glass, even from the hills beyond Centreville, rag!:
meat after regiment of the rebels coming from the
nei,shboring districts, and, passing over the roads
to Manassas. Inmany oases the colors of their
flags could be easily distinguished.
The causes of our defeat appear to be these : A
premature advance on the enemy without .a suffi
cient form which may be attributed to the clamors
of politicians, and newspapers like the New York
Tribunij the negligenee of General , Patterson in
not intercepting General Johnston, it Winchester,
and preventing him from sjoining Beanrogerd at
Manassas; the want of , an efficient force of artil
lery to answer their masked batteries; the ineffi
ciently of many of the Gibers ; the want of proper
discipline arnorg*the 'volunteers, and the general
panic which seised upon our forces in the jitter
part of the action.
I have heard Many stories of , the bravery Of
some regiments and .the inefficieno,y of others
But if we can make eny such.diatitaction. it is with
the officers; who commanded, and not .with the
men,-,who obeyed.. The material of our, army_ is
of an extraordinarrollaraoter, and this disastrous
battle hats 'shown it; for the DIM who could fight
double their numbera behind masked batteries for
ten hours; in a country where , water "'could not be
found, under the torrid rays of a-Southern sum

endurance bad been overtarked and the ranks of
the enemy hid been Ailed ail by fresh men, are
capable of anything which may be demanded of
the soldier. And this la tie story of the battle of
Manassar; this lethe substanoe. of every- rumor--
the logical result frotxtevery fact the contest fur

The general panic 'took place about Live o'clock
in the afternoon. There are a number of stories
told as to the apparent reason for the precipitate
flight of our troops; but, without stopping to relate
them, or even to consider their manifest absurdity;
I would imply say that it was caused by their
utter exhaustion, and the terrible fire of masked
batteries, which wore taken by them, again and
again, at the point of the bayonet, only to find,
when taken, that others would open upon them.
The reinforeements vastly strengthened the ene
my, theirfire was increased, and, before that fire,
our men retreated. If they bad been properly
commanded, they might have retreated in good
order, like the regulars, under Major. Sykes; but
this, and the want of experience, gave rise to a
pante; whieh soon swept everything before it, and
carried our army, like a tumultuous mob, from
Manassas to Washington.
The day was so closely contested that when I
arrived at Centreville from the field of battle, at
live o'clock in the evening, it was with the impul
sion that the conflict had eitheiresulted in a drawn
battle or in a dearly-bought victory. It was im

had taken rooms in the only hotel of the plaaa,
and intended to have returned the same evening
in order to complete my observations of the
battle and follow the army in its further pro
gress. At that time there were Ave regiments of
volunteers at a reserve, and among them Colo
nel Max Einstein's Pennirylvania volunteers,
the only distinctively Pennsylvania regiment any
Way concerned in the action. This body had been,
intended as a part of the advanoe, and with that
impression its soldiers had left their quarters at
the early hour of the morning when the movement
commenced. There was a change in the pro•.
gramme, however, and they were inntraoted to re
main at Centreville as a reserve regiment. They
were stationed in a large field on the north of the
town, and beloW the bill whioh commanded a view
of the distant field of battle. I had the opportu
nity of paying theme few momenta visit. There was
the greatest dissatisfaction among the men because
of their inaction - . The cannonading and musketry
could be distinctly heard couriers were constantly
going to and from the field,•the various reports of
victory were constantly being repeated, bit the
day passed on into the afternoon, and no signal of
advance wasigiven. Some of the men were sleep

of seeing the courier, which would signal btu

but feel proud of my State, and regret that her
soldiers could not have taken part in the groat
events of this momentous day.
As I have said, it was necessary that I should
reach Fairfax at an early hour in the evening
Fairfax is about eight miles from Centreville, and
is approached by a devious and ruggedroad, run•
ning through a woody eountii, and' traversing
suocession of hills. It Is a small, sleepy town of
the old Virginia style, and will be remembered as
the scene of Lieut. Tompkins' brilliant cavalry
obarge in the early part of this campaign. It is
situated in a valley, or rather on . the brow of a
gradually - sloping bill, aurrounded by a scenery
which is somewhat monotonous, but certainly ro
mantle and beautiful. The houses are small, and
built like Virginia housee generally, with a view
to comfort and artetocratio dieplay. It was
tended as the advanosd post of governmental com
munication with Washington, wires having been
extended that'far to a telegraph station, whist'
was 'operated by an °Moor of the Government. The
tone of the people watt oertainly not one of friend
ship to the Union, although the presence of a flue
regiment of Western volunteers neutralised any
attempt at open hostility. The people were sul
len, or reluctantly civil, and the hotel keepers
extended'• their hospitality in w moat niggardly
spirit. I put up at a small inn, whieh was filled
with soldiers, Senators, omeere of the army, mem•

receipt of the news created a commotion among
the temporary residents, of the place, although the
hope was expressed and entertained that the

ated a panio among the Union men, and a rash
was made for Washington by all who could, for
either love or money, obtain the means of oonvey
anoe to the capital. A number of distinguished
representatives of the New York press took this
occasion to leave the merle of danger, and they left
at an early hour. 8o anxious were some of them
to leave, that I saw one offer a traveller his gold
watch and his purse if he would drive him to Ar
'Wren. The offer was refused, and the anxious
and exalted civilian remained.
Finding it impraotioable to return to Centre.
villa, I determined to remain at Fairfax until
morning, in the bopo of learning, that otir'forcr i ,
had oreapied Centreville,' 'and maintained the
communications open by whirth we could return.
The only accommodations to be found was a small
mattress in the corner of a parlor, where I soon
fell into a deep sleep. The floor was covered with
mattresses, and my bad companions were soldiery,
weary from the field, and civilians of ail conditions
About I o'olock in the morning I was awakened
by a soldier of a New York regiment, who'inform
ed me that there was a regular retreat of the army ;
that our forties had been completely routed ; that
Beauregard was in full pursuit, and that our army
was falling back upon Washington. I arose at the
alarming intelligence, and on looking from the
window saw that so far as our army being in re.
treat was concerned his information was correct
The broad street was filled with large bodies of
troops, many of them on foot, end trains for the
transportation of the wounded and weary. I
'hastily dressed, and in company, with those who
had been our companions of the night, took urethe
lino, of march. '
Aa we left the inn and joined in:the line the
soene'was most eitsiting; The night was gloomy
Large black clouds rolled over the 'sky, while big .
'drops of rain were coessionally'
sweary soldiere .
had just come from the SOO iitb '
torn uniforms; empty canteens, and :pithy of.thent
without either muskets or haverasoks. 'The
most confusion existed. No dozen of the soldiers
seemed to belong to the same regiment, There
were men from Rhode Island, front New York
from Ohio, and from Michigan. Every soldier
had a dosen rumors; every rumor was of the
most conflicting and animating
daring;
There were tales • of.. death • and of
havoc and desolation.. Each
,partietillix-- act of
bravery was recorded , and every soldier •had
tale to tell or a comrade who had fought bravely
and died gallantly. In one thing they were
agreed, and that was, that a regiment of rebelr
had outflanked the army in 'retreat, and • intended
to intercept the march ate below Fairfax.
There were the xVitomY,and desperate, apron-
Wiens upon thei -1 ,,. rili of any such a confliot
About one half of oar men were armed, andlt was
.the' determination to oppose any attempt at cep
trite by. a fierce resistance. I am confident, if we
had met the enemy at the point anticipated, there
would have beta a fearful aonfliot and' terrible
slaughter.
The rosd from Fairfax was hard and rough. ' On
each side there were deep gullies or ravines, and
for a great portion of the way our path we ,
between woods, which would have afforded a
eplendfd opportunity for an ambuscade, and
through hills where, on either side,' a company of
soldiers with a battery. nould have repulsed almost
any body of men. Many of the 'volunteers fell
away from sheer exhaustion, Along theagidat of
the road email bodies of men might be seen lying,
wrapped in the deep , sleep whioh• answer, the de
mand 'of exhausted nature.. Some of the soldiers
endeavored to march by regiment; and for a toile
or two I could see a dozen or a score iiinteriseated
at different points of the road, and hear . sucliiieles
as " This way. Ninth!" " Come over here, Rhode
Island !" Biro you are, fieventy-ninth !"..‘ Al
together, Zmavea!" " Fall in, Ohio !"," This way,
Mr/mealy:netts !" and so on, as the different regi
manta happened to be designated. The attempt,
however, was not vary suceesarni, and the men
marched wearily onward. sad and silent.
• We passed the .point of . danger and no signs of
the. enemy were manifest. There wee a constant
cry for water. "For God's sake give us a drink;"
" Can't you help a sick man ?" " I'm thirsty;•and
almost dead," were the cries wo heard constantly
and appealingly front the weary aohilers as-they
lay on the roadside. Once or twice a well was
reached, and it was instantly , stirrounded by bodies
of thirsty Soldiers;clamoring for the merest drop
of the refreshing beverage. Men were constantly
falling from sheer exhaustion. IR oce ease, a lien'
tenant came along on horiebaak, carrying 14thind
hint a wounded soldier. The horse had Ol i n out
from a battery, and it still had on itamilitasy
harness; The animal could go no,farther,,the'men

to the appeal of a oomrado to ooritinue his journey;
replied that he oonld not go; for his place of linty
was *by the side of his officer: And by his:aide,
.earefully bathing his brow, anxiously binding up
.a severe wound upon bin shoulder, we left him' and
piled' on.
We passed on and, in silence. Few wordia:Were
spoken, for there was a deep grief in every, heart,
and the few sentonoes which occasionally fell upon
my ear, expressed not so ranch the mere mortifica
tion of defeat, as the deep and bitter deterpina
tion to cover that defeat by a future of gloriono
viotory and fearful retribution. About six' mileo
from Fairfax a body of regular cavalry eatriekup 'tit
us and paesed on; having retreated'in good prder.
From them, we learned that our army was In full
retreat, even from Centreville, and that the re
treat was being covered by the Third Infantry;
under Major Sykes, of whose bravery I may have
osoasion to Speak, and that a detachment 4 the
enemy were in pursuit, harassing them withishell.

The morning came. bat it was very gloomy,—
the sky was a man of heaving and rolling clouds,
and the sun arose in alibis purple golden, and, as
it seemed to us, bloody splendor. Our path was a
smell, narrow one, leading from the• math turn--
pike, and approaching Washington by a - more di
rect road than that generally travelled. The
country was even more billy and densely, 'wooded
than that we had just traversed. The ambilanoes,
wagons, and horsemen 'having gone forelard, we
were left behind, and to the nurnber of about
thousand In mere straggling groups, and covering
.some three or four miles of ground, we continued
our maroh. The only evideilie of hoapi ality we
received was at the house of a farmer, Roust five,
miles from Washington, who stood on theradside
and furnished the troops with water.
At about Mx o'clock in the morning, we.came in

Many things which only an officer can tell
' The march from our bivouac, near Oentreville,
was taken up at 2i, A. M. on Sunday: Among
°Moen atid'ineu the impreesien prevailed that the
notion would occur at Bull's Run, the scene of Goa.
Tyler's repulse a day. or Apreviously." In this
they were disappointed:rsobrigge posted
themselves at the bridge over Ball's B.an, where
they were ordered to reign an attaok as sepn as Col.
Hunter's division were known to be in position.
This order was partially obeyed. Hunter's dirt
sion,. composed of Burnside's brigade and Porter', ' 1
brigade, after proceeding a mile beyond Centre
ville, made a detour to the right, and proceeded
over a wood road, well covered from observation,
to the left flink of the enemy, at lidenassas, a
distance of about eight miles. At six o'clock firing
was heard on the heights at Bull's Run, from a
battery in Tyler's brigade, whloh was promptly
answered by the enemy's : batteries. Tkeir post
don' this revealed, the, advance divielon (lion- .
tar's). sesended a bill at double qutek, and
almost immediately the Rhode ,Island battery
and Griffin's West Point battery were in
brisk notion. The former was supported by
the 'First Regiment Rhode. Island Volunteers,
who Maintained' their ground nobly for, a hale
hour. At thin moment Poi ter's Brigade; composed
of the Fourteenth, Seventh, end Twenty-seventh
New York, with a battalion of tr. 13 Marines, un
der Major Reynolds, and a battalion of U. S. Third
Eleoond, and Eighth Wintry, under Major Sykes:
took their . :Osition: I* . line of battle upon a hill,
within range of the'etiesisre dre. Burnaide's bat.
tery being lierel7 p Nd , " the enemy having
charged closely upon it, the gallant oolonel gaL
loped to Major Sykes, and Implored him to come
to bis assistance Major Sykes brought up his
men at a run, and, with a deafening shoat, they
charged upon the enemy's skirmishers, who fled
before them several hundred , yard'. Forming in
column of divisions, Sykes' battalion advanced a
oonsiderable distaace, until they drew upon them
selves an intensely hot fire of musketry and artil
lery. This was a trying moment. The volunteers
expected much of the regulars. and gamed upon
them as they stood in unbroken line, receiving the
fire, and returning it with fatal precision. Im
pressions and resolutions are formed oa the
battle field in an instant. The impreesion
at this moment was a happy one, and
Beintselman'e brigade coming np into line,
our forces steadily advanced upon the retreating
rebels. The batteries, which had been meanwhile
recruited with men and horses, renewed their fire
with increased effect, and our supremacy upon the
field was apparent. The enemy's fire was now ter
rific) Shell, round-shot, and grape from their bat
levies covered the field with Woods of dust, and
many a gallant fellow fell in that brief time. At
this juncture the volunteers, who hitherto had be,
bayed nobly, seeing their ranks thinned out, many
laring their field and company officers, loot confl
donee, and in n panic fell back. Three fresh reit.:
clients coming on the field at this time 'would have
formed a nucleus upon whioh a general rally could
have been effsoted , but while the enemy had rein.

our entire force were in the field; and badly out up.
Thus was our action . maintained for hours. The
panic was momentarily inoreasing. Regiment.
were observed to march up in good order, discharge
one volley, and then fall back in confusion. But
there was no lack of gallantry, generally . speaking,
and not a great many Manifestatione of oowardioe.
Oar artillery, which made sad havoo upon the
rebels, had spent their ammunition, or been other
wise disabled by this time, and in the absence of
reinforcements, a retreat was Inevitable. The
time for the last attack had now come. Nearly all
of the rebel batteries were in place, though silent.
There was a calm—an indescribable calm. , Every
man on the field felt it. I doubt If any one could
describe it. Gen. hieDowell was near the treat of
our lines, mounted on his gray charger. And here
let me say emphatically, that, whatever may be the
critiolems upon his oonduot by , the military or the
abominable stay atthomenewepaper scribblers and
peliticians, no braver man trod that turf at Manas
sas than Gan. MoDoWell. 'bfajor: Sykes' battalion
of eight companies, five of Third Infantry, two of
the Second, and one of the Eighth, were marched
several hundred yards to the right, and formed the
right flank of the Brie: Several volunteer regiments
were deployed as skirmishers on the centre and left.
Thus they advanced to the crest of the bill The
enemy met them with batteries and musketry- in -
front, -and two batteries and a thousand cavalry
on the right. The fire was terrific. We mate
tained our position for a half hour. Then it was
distovered that the rebel cavalry were attempting
to outflank oar right. We had no force to resist
them, and the bugle of the regalam armided the
march in retreat. This, so far as they were con
earned, was conducted in good order. Oa Msjor
Sykes was imposed the responsible duty-of cover
ing the retreat of the army. In this he was as
sisted on part of the route by the Unite4Btates
cavalry, under Major Palmer. The enemy fol
lowed us with their artillerY and cavalry, shelling
or constantly, until we reached Centreville.. Here
we bivoosoked for an hour, and then again took up
the line of march. Bat of the retreat let me say a
word, - and pardon, my dear fellow, this incoherent
letter; written inien exeitedTentreville blvouttok,
on my sound knee, the other severely soratehtd.
As I , said, Major Sykes, with his Third, SecanA,
and , Eighth infantry, in all but eight companies,
and they decimated, oondrieted the retreat Three
of his offsers had been wounded; and one killed or
captured. Several of them were detaahed, endea

themselves against the enemy's cavalry, known tit',
