PHILADELPHIA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1861. Cl)£ Jr.£ss„ Semi-occasionally, as “between the glimp ses of the moon,” we get a stray number of that excellent weekly, the Scottish American Journal , which contains a larger and better digest ot old world neivu than any other news paper on this side of the Atlantis. In a re cent number, the Editor —we may now call him the surviving Editor, as his excollent and talented associate, Mr. liobert Davidson, was' one of the gallant Seventy-ninth Highlanders who fall at the Battle of Bull Ran, on the 2lst ultimo—the Editor recorded the fact that several of the principal military leaders of the United States in the present noble struggle are descendants of Scotchmen, General Seott having an ancestor who fell at Culloden, and Secretary Cameron being ot the family of the “ Great Locbiel.” Mr. William Nesbitt, of New York, follow ing this up, in a subsequent number of the paper, says: “By accounts I have lately re ceived from Kirkcudbright—my native place —I learn that General McClellan is a descend ant of a very ancient and illnstrions Galloway family—the McClellans of Kirkcudbright and Bornbie, allied to the ancient ‘Knights of Lochinvar.’ The family were ennobled by Charles I, in 1b33, the then representative, Sir Robert McClellan ef Bornbie being, cre ated a peer under the title of Lord Sirkcud bright. The last lord of that name died about thirty years ago, in rather reduced circum stances, leaving no issue. The title is now extinct. The ruius of the old family castlo now form the most conspicuous object in the ancient burgh of Kirkcudbright, on the banka of the river Dee. Many of the deeds of the McClellans are still recounted in the legendary lore of the district. The name of McClellan has been always associated with all that is noble, patriotic, and daring, and I am prond to think that in the person of the worthy Amo rican scion, it is still so. Sir William Me- Glellan, an ancestor of the above family, also fell at Flodden.” In point of fact, Camden Grey Mac Glellan, tenth Baron Kirkcudbright, in the peerage of Scotland, died in 1832, when, for want of a male heir, the title became extinct. His widow survives. Sbo was daughter of the late Colo nel Thomas Gorges. Lord Kirkcudbright left an only daughter, Camden Elizabeth, who was married in 1832, shortly before her father's death, to James Staunton Lambert also sur vives. REMEDY . Mr. Nesbitt sdds, “General McDowell, I believe, is b}bo a descendant of another re nownod race of potent Galwegian chieftains, the McDowells of Logan and Garthland; an ancestor, Charles McDowell, of Logon, haviDg fallen bravely fighting at the head of his clan, at the fatal Battle of Flodden Field, in 1513. The name is said to be synonymous with Dowgall, Donegal, Donald, and McDougall. They have been a leading family in wostern Galloway, from time immemorial; and like many other ancient Scottish families, tWr name and origin are hidden in the night of antiquity.” We wish that Mr. Nesbitt had told us some thing about the Camerons. We must endea vor to relate what he has left untold about them. That a gallant Cameron should command a regiment called the Seventy-ninth, was ex tremely appropriate. In the British army the Seventy-ninth Regiment is called “The Cameron Highlanders.” The Clan Chameron, which had. a common origin with the Clan Chattan, was one of the twelve great Scottish sep s or families entitled to have supporters to their heraldic arms—a dignity peculiar, beyond those twelve, topeeis -aiono. In the fourteenth Century, ' taS' Chamerons and the Chattans divided—on a matter of landed property—and their re spective champions, thirty against, thirty, fought that celebrated combat at Perth, in the year 1396, before King Robert 111., his nobili ty and court, which Scott bas so graphically described in “ The Fair Maid of Perth.” Thu Cahmerons conquered, and tho Clan Chattan never recovered the disgrace of tho defeat. It is asserted by Scottish historians, that tho real name of the Clan Chameron or Cameron was Macewan. The founder of the race was descended, it was said, from a younger son of the royal house of Denmark, who assisted at th'e restoration of Fergus 11. in 404. This progenitor had a peculiarity in his nasal organ, and the Gaelic term Chameron , i. e. Wj-ynoje, first given to the individual, was eventually assumed by the clan as its actual patronymic. The Camerons had their seat in Lochaber, as far back as can be distinctly traced. The more modern possessions of Lochiel and Locharkaig, situated on the western side of the Loehy, in Perthshire, were originally granted by the Lord of the Isles to the founder ot clan Ranald, irom whose descendants they passed to the Camerons. After the defeat ot the clan Chattan, on the Inch of Perth, the elder branch, under the name of JiacMarten, made a new clan; but the second son, Came ron of Strone, headed the Lochiel party, and declared himself independent. After the usual amount of fighting with their neighbors and rivals, during the next centnry, Sir Allan Cameron, succeeded by his son Sir Ewen, added greatly by conquest to the family pos sessions. In the middle of the seventeenth centnry there was a second Sir Ewen Cameron, one ot the heroes of that age, who was the last of tho Highland chiefs to submit to Cromwell, who finally obtained bis submission on the honorable terms, simply on his parole, and withont oath or bond, of living in peace with “ the powers that be.” Full indemnity was made to him and his tenants and followers for ail losses sustained from the Commonwealth’s troops, and complete indemnity was granted to all the Camerons. Lochiel, as Sir Evan Cameron is generally called, lived in peace nntil the Restoration, and remained in tranquil possession of his property until the Revolution of 1688, when, refusing a title and a large sum of money offered him by William of Orange, on the condition of remaining neutral, he joined the standard of James 11., which had been raised by Viscount Dundee. He led his men gallantly at the battle of.Killiorankie, at which, after Dnndee had fallen, he took com mand of bis men and won the victory, in half an hoar. But Colonel Cannon, who succeeded in the command, was a man of such marked incapacity, that Lochiel declined sorving un der him, and left the Camerons to be led by bis eldest son. Lochiel died in 1719, at the age of ninety—a brave, honest, loyal man. Of this Sir Evan Cameron, Donald, the chi valric chief usually known as “ the gentle Lochiel,” was the grandson. Thomas Camp, bell, the poet, truly states that, so important was hiß influence among the Highland chiefs, it depended on his joining with his clan who. ther the standard of Prince Charles shonld be raised or not ia 1745. He was well aware ot the hopelessness of the contest, but the Prince appealed to his loyalty, and to that he sacri ficed his judgment. “Had the rest of the clans assembled on the field of Culloden be haved like tho Camerons and tho Athole High landers,” Dr. Black says, “ or had even sus tained them in the gallant attack, tho name of Cumberland would not have acquired so infa mous an immortality in the Highlands of Scot land, and the British nation would have been spared the disgrace afterwards brought upon it by the ignominious convention of Closter- Seven.” Lard Mahon, describing Locbiel, says he was “ full of courage, hospitality, and honor; a trne model of that chivalrous cha racter which poets have fe.igned oftener than found, in feudal chiefs;” and again, “ his en ergy in war, his courtesy and charity In peace, are recurded oven by liin political (he could have no private) enemies.” Lochiel, who was wounded at Culloden, shared the dangers of Prince Charles’ flight, and accompanied him to France in September, 1746. “He went,” Lord Mahon touchingly records, “ but not with him departed his re- , LANGUOR, NERVOUSNESS, HECTIC FLUSH.

For years and years did his name continue enshrined i n their hearts and familiar to their tongues) then plaintive ditties, resounding with his exploits, and inviting his return.” Among the forfeitures which followed the Rebellion of the Forty-five, as it is called, were th@Be of the Lochiel estates. Eventually, they were restored, and still remain in posses sion of the Cameron family. In Augnßt, 1793, letters of service, au thorizing him to raise a regiment, were issued to Allan Cameron of Errach, by the British Go vernment. No bounty was allowed, as is usual, but the men were recruited at the Bole expense of the officers. In 1715, and again in 1746, the clan Cameron numborod about 800 man, and the regiment was soon raised in 1794. Allan Cameron was appointed to command “ The Camoron Highlanders,” which is the Seventy-ninth Regiment of Infantry in the British army. They were in the unfortunate campaign in Flanders in 1795, and went to the West Indies in the same year, and subse quently served in the expedition to the Hol der; in Egypt; under Sir John Moore in Portugal, until ho fell at Corunna; in the ex pedition to Zealand; from 1810 to 1814, in the Peninsular War; and at the battles of Qnatre Bras and Waterloo. From the time the Cameron Highlanders wero embodied, in 1793, down to the memorable 18th of June (Waterloo day) in 1815, its total of killed and wounded was 1,188. Their Colonel, who became Lieutenant-General, Sir Allan Came ron, died in 1828. At the battle of Fnentes d’ Honor, in May, 1811, his oldest Bon, Lien. tenant-Coionel Philip Cameron, was killed. It seems destined that the Camerons shall at test their loyalty by the life-blood of their nearest and dearest flowing on the field ot battle. Either of the Camerons, who have fallen in combat, might truly and proudly utter the stirring words which the poet put into the mouth of “ the gentle Lochiel;” Though my perishing ranks should be strewef in their gore.

THE BATTLE AT BULL RUN. General McDowell’s Official Report Headquartkbs Dept. N. E Virginia, ) AnniNOTOK, V* , Augutt 4,1861. j Lieut. Con.D. Townsknd. Assistant Adjutant Go nerat. Headquarters of the Army , Waehington, D. C. Colonel : I have the honor to submit the fol lowing repnrL of the battle of the 2lstof July, near Manassas, Virginia It ha 3 boon delayed till.this time from the inability of the subordinate com manders to get earlier a trne aeoonnt of the state of thoir oocunanils. In iny eommnnioatioa to you of the 20th ult., I stated it as my intention to move that afternoon, and drive the enemy from the east side of Ball Ran, bo as to enable the engineers to make a suffi ciently accurate reeonnoissanoe to justify onr fu ture movements. Later in the day they had ob - tained enough information of the passage across the stream to dispensegwith this recocnoiseasoe, and it was decided to move withcutjdcla7. Itthad btVD my intention to move the several columns" out oh the road a few miles on the evening of the 20 ih, so that they would have a shorter march in the morning; but I deferred to those who had the greatest distance to go, and wbo preferred start uß early in the morning, and making but one mrjve —: - - - - On the evening of the 20th ult., my oommand was mostly at or near Centreville. The enemy was at or near Manasßas, distant from Centreville about seven miles to the southwest. Centreville is a vil lage of a few houses, mostly on the west side of a ridge running nearly north and south. The road from Centreville to Manassas Junotion was along this ridge, and crosses Bnll Rnn about three miles from the former place The Warrentnn turnpike, which runs nearly oast and west, goes ever this ridge, through the village, and orosses Ball Rnn about fonr miles from it, Bull Run having a course between the oro3siug from northwest to southeast. The first division (Tyler’s) was stationed on the north side of the tv arrenton turnpike, and on the eastern slope of the Centreville ridge, two brigades on the samo road, and a mile and a half in ad vance, to the west of the ridgo, and one brigade on the road from Centreville to Manassas where it orosses Ball Run, at Blackburn's Ford, where General Tyler had the engagement of the 18 :h ultimo. The second division (Hunter's) was on the Warronton turnpike, ono mile east of Centreville. The third division (Heintzsiman’s) was on a road known as the Old Braddock road, which comes into Centreville from the southeast, about a m le and a half from the village. The fifth division (Miles’) was on the same road with the third division, and between it and Centreville A map which is here with marked A, will show these positions better than I can describe them. On Friday night a train of subsistence arrived, aud on Saturday its contents were ordered to be i?suad to the command, and the men required to have three days’ rations in their haversaoks On Saturday orders were issued for the available foroe to maroh. As leported to you in m; letter of the 19th ult., myjpersonal reconnoiEsaaceof the road to the south had shown that it was not practicable to carry out the original plan of turning the enemy’s position on their right Tho aflair of the 18:h, at Blackburn’s Ford, showed he was too strong at that point for us to fores a passage there without ereat loss, and, if we did, that it would bring us in front of his strong position at Manassas, which was not dosirod. Our information was, that the stone bridge, over whiuh the Warren ton road crossed Butl Run, to the west of Centreville, was defended by a battery in position, and the road on his side of the stream impeded by a heavy aba'tis. The alternative was, therefore, to turn the extreme left of his position. Reliable information was obtain ed of an undefended ford about three miles above the bridge, there being another ford between it and the bridge, whioh was defended It was, therefore, determined to take the road to the upper ford, and, after orossing, to get behind tho forces guarding the lowor foru and the bridgo, and aftor tioonpying the Warrenton road east of the bridge, to send ont a foroe to destroy the railroad a; or near Gainesville, and thus break up the communication between ihe enemy’s farces at Manassas and those in the valley of Virginia, before Winchester, whioh had been held in check by Major General Patter son. Brigadier General Tyler was directed to move with three of his brigades on the Warrenton read, and commence cannonading the enemy’s batteries, while Ilnnter’s division, moving after him, should, alter passing a little stream called Oub run, turn to the right and north, end more around to the upper ford, and there turn south and get behind tho|enemy. Colonel Heintzelman’s division was to follow Hunter’s as far as the turning eff place to the lower ford, where he was to cross alter the enemy Bhould have been driven out by Hunter’a division, tho Fifth division (Miles’) to be in reserve on the Centreville ridge. I had felt anxious about the road from Manassas by Blsckburn’s Ford to Centreville, along this ridgo, fearing that whilst we should be in force to the front, and endeavoring to tarn the enemy’s position, we onrselves should be turned by him by this road ; for if he should onoe obtain possession of this ridge, whioh overlooks all the country to the west to the foot of the spurs of the Blue Ridge, we should have been irretrievably ont off and de stroyed. I had, therefore, directed this point to be held in force, and sent an engineer to extem porize some field works to strengthen the position. The fourth division (Runyon’s) had not boen brought to the front farther than ia gutrd our communications hy way of Vieona and the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. His advanced regi ment was about seven miles in the rear of Centre ville. The divisions were ordered to marsh at half pact two o’clook A. M , so as to arrivo on ths ground ear); in tho da;, and thus avoid the heat whioh is to be expeoted at this season. There was delay in the first division getting out ot its camp pn the road, and the other divisions were in oonse qnenoe between two and three honrs behind the ume appointed—a great misfortune, as events turned out. The wood road leading from the War renton turnpike to the upper ford was much longer than we counted upon, the genetal direction of the stream being oblique to the road, and we having the obtuse angle oa our aide. General Tyler oommenoed with his artillery at half past six A. M, but the enemy did not reply, and after some time it became a question whether Jj© is any force in oaf front, kad if he did not intend himself to melee an atteeh, and make it by Blaohbum’B Ford After firing several times, and obtaining no response, I held ooe of Heintxelman’s brigades in reserve in oase we should have to send any troops back to roioforce Miles’ division. The other brigades moved iorward as directed in the general orders On resetting the ford, at Sndley’s Spring, 1 found part of the leading brigade of Hun ter’s division (Burnside's) had oiossed, bat the men were slow in getting over, stopping to drink. As at this time the olouds of dost from tho direotion of Manassas indicated the immediate approach of a large force ; and fearing It might asms down on the head of the autumn bfifoio the division oould all get ovor and sustain it, orders were sect baok to the heads of regiments to break from the column and some forward separately as fast as possible. Orders were sent by an officer to the roserve brigade of Heinizelman’s division to come by a nearer road across the fields, and an aid-de-osmp was sent to Brigadier General Tyler to direct him to press forward Ms attack, as large bodies of Hie enemy were passing in front of him to attack the division which had oroased over The ground be tween stream and the road leadiog from Sud ley a Spring south, and over whioh Burnside’s brigade marched, was for about a mile from tbe ford thickly wooded, whilst on the right of the road for about the same distanoe the country was di vided boiween fields and woods. About a miio from the road the country on both sides of the road is open, and for nearly a mile farther large rolling fields extend down to the Warrenton turnpike, whioh orosses what beoame the field of battle through the valley of a Bmall water oonrse, a tribu tary ot Bull Run Shortly after the leading regiment of the first brigade reached this open spaoe, and whilst others and the Heoond brigade were orossing to the front aud right, the enemy opened Ms fire, beginning with artillery, and following it up with infantry. The leading brigade (Burnside’s) had to sustain this shook for a short time without support, and did it well The battalion of regular infantry was seat to sustain it, and shortly afterwards the other corps of Porter’s brigade, and a regiment detaohed from Heintzriman’s division to the left, forced the onem7 bank far enough to allow ttherman’s and Keyes’ brigades, of Tyler’s division, to cross from their position on the Warrenton road These drove the right of the enemy, understood to have been oommacdod by Beauregard, from the front of the field, and out ef the detaohed woods, and down to the road, and aeross it up the slopes on the other nide. Whilst this was going on, Heintzsiman’s di vision was moving down tbe field to the stream and up the road beyond Beyond the Warrenton toad, mid to tba left of the road, down whioh onr troops had marched from Sndiey’s Spring, is a hill with a farmhouse on it. Behind this hill the ene my had, early in the day, some of bis most annoy ing batteries planted. Across the road from this bill was another hill, or rather elevated ridge, or table of land The hottest part of the eonteat was for the possession cf this hill, with a house on it. The force engaged here was Heintzelman’s divl sion, Wilcox’s and Howard’s brigades on the right, supported by part of Forter’o brigade and tbe ca valry nnder Palmer, and Franklin’s brigade of Htintzsl&ififi’s division, Sherman’s brigade of Xy- Lr's division is.the centre and up tha road, whilst Keyes' brigade of Tjtler>a division was on the left, attacking the batteries near the stone bridge Tbe Rhode Island battery of Burnside’s brigade also participated in this attack by its firo from tho nonh of tbe turnpike. The enemy was understood to have been aommanded by J E. Johnston Rickett’s battery, which did suoh effective service, and played so brilliant a part in this contest, was, together with Griffin’s battery, on the side of the hill, and became the object pf the special attention of the enemy, who snoeeraed—our officers mis taking on« of his regiments for one of our own, and allowing it to approach without firing upon it— in disabling the battery, aud then attempted to take it Three times was he repulsed by different oorps in suooession, and driven back, and the guns taken by hand, the horses being killed, and puiled away The third time it was supposed by us all that the repulse was final, for he was driven en tirely from the hill, and so tar beyond it as not to be in sight, and all were certain the day was ours. He had before this been driven noarly a mile and a half, and was beyond the Warrenton road, whioh was entlretr in our possession, from tho atone bridge westward, and our engineers were jnst oompleting the removal of the abattis across tbe road, to allow our reitforoement (Schenck’s brigade and Ayres’ battery) to join us. Tho enemy was evidently disheartened and brokon. But we had been fighting sinoe half past ten o’olook in the morning, and it was after three o’clock in the afternoon The men had been up sines two o’ulock in the morning, aud had made what to those unused to such things seemed a long marah before coming into action, though the long, ost distance gone over was nine and a half miles; and, though they had threo days’ provisions served oat to them the day before, many, no doubt, either did not eat them, or threw them away on the marah or during the battle, and were, therefore, without food. They had done much severe fightiug Some of the regiments which had been driven from the hill in th, first two attempts of tho enemy to keep possession of it, had baoome shaken, were unsteady, and had many men out of the ranks It was at this time that the enemy’s reinforce ments came to his aid from the railroad train, un derstood to have just arrived from tho valley with tho residue ot Johnston’s army. They threw them salvas in the woods on onr right, and towards the rear of our right, and opened a fire of musketry on onr men, whioh 'caused them to break and re tire down the hillside. This soon degenerated in to disorder, for which there was no remedy. Every effirt was made to rally them, even beyond the roach of the enemy’s fire, bat in vain. The bat ialion of regnlar infantry alone moved up the hill opposite the one with the house on it, and there maintained itself until our men oould get down to and aoross the Warrenton turnpike, on tbe way back to the position we occupied in the morning. The plain was oovered with the retreating troops, and they seemed to infeot those with whom they came in contact The retreat soon became a rout, and this soon degenerated still further into a panic. Finding this state of affairs was beyond the ef forts of all those who had assisted so faithfnlly during the long and hard day's work in gaining almost the object of our wishes, and that nothing remained OU the fi.ld but to reooguls. wb&t wo oould no longer prevent, I gave the necessary or ders to protect their withdrawal, begging the men to fall in line, and offer the appearance, at least, of organization. They returned by the fords to Ihe Warrenton road, protected, by my order, by 001. Porter’s force of regulars. Once on the road, and the diff.rent oorps ooming together in small par ties, many without officers, they became inter mingled, and all organization was lost. Orders had been sent back to Milts’ division for a brigade to move forward and proteot this re treat, and Col Bl.nker’B brigade was detaohed for this purpose, and was ordered to go as far forward as the point whore the road to the right left the main road. By referring to the general order it will be seen that, while the operations were to go on in front, an attack was to be made at Blackburn's Ford by the brigade (Richardson’s) stationed there A reference to his report, and to that of Majar Hunt, commanding the artillery, wiU show that thi3 part of the plan was well and effectively carried out. It succeeded in deceiving the enemy for a cons:ds rable time, and in keeping in obeck a part oi' Ms force. The fire of the artillery at this point is re presented as particularly destructive. At the time of our retreat, seeing great aoiivity i& this direction, muoh firing, and columns of dust, I became anxions for this place, fearing if it were turned or forced the whole stream of our retreating masß would be captured cr destroyed. After pro viding for tbe protection of the retreat by Porter’s and Blenker’s brigades, I repaired to Richardson’s, and fonnd the whole fores ordered to be stationed for the holding of the road from Manassas by Blackburn’s Ford to Centreville, on tho march, under the < rders from the division commander, for Centreville. I immediately halted it, and ordered it to take up the best line of defense aoross the ridge that their position admitted of, and subse quently taking in person the oommand of this part of the army, I caused suoh disposition of tho forces which had been added to by the First and Second New Jersey and the He Kalb Regiments, ordered up from Runyon’s reserve, before going forward, as would best serve to oheok the enemy. The ridge being held in this way, the retreating cur rent passed slowly through Centreville to the roar. The enemy followed ns from the ford as far as Cub run, and owing to the road becoming blooked up at tbe crossing, caused us much damage there, for the artillery could not pass, and several pieces and aaiisons had to be abandoned, in the panic the horses hauling the oaissnns and ammunition were out from their places by parsons to escape with, and in this way muoh confusion was caused, tha panic aggravated, and the road enenmbered. Not only were pieces of artillory lost, but also many of the ambulances carrying the wound.d. By snndown most of onr men had gotten behind Centreville ridge, and it became a question whether wo should or not endeavor to make a stand there Toe condition of our artiUer; and its ammunition, and the want of food for tho mon, who had gene rally abandoned or thrown away all that had been issued the day before, and the utter disorganiza tion and consequent demoralization of the mass of the army, seemed to ali who were near enough to be oonralted—division and brigade commanders and staff—to admit of no alternative bn* to fall bsok; the more so, as the position of Blackburn’s Ford was then in the possession of the enemy, and he was already turning our left. On sending the officers of the staff to the different camps, they fonnd, as they reported to mo, that oar decision had been anticipated by the troops, most of those who had come ia from tho front being already on the road to the rear, tho panio with whioh they came in still continuing and hurrying them along. At o’olcck the rear guard (Blonker’s brigade) moved, covering the retreat, whioh was effeoted during the nighc and next morning. The troops at Fairfax station leaving by the oars took with them the bulk of the supplies whioh had been sent there. My aid-de-camp, Major Wads worth, staid at Fairfax Court House till late ia the morning, to see that the stragglers and weary and worn out soldiers were not left behind. I transmit herewith the reports of tho several division and brigade oommauders, to which I refer for the eonduat of particular regiments and corps, and a consolidated return of the killed, wounded, and missing. From the latter, it will be seen that our killed amounted to nineteen officers and four hundred and sixty-two non commissioned offieers and i privates, and our wounded to sixty-four offieers and nine hundred and forty-seven non commissioned effioers and privates. Many of Ihe wounded will teen be able to join the rank?, es<4 will leave our total of killed and dlsabltd from further servioe under one thousand. The return of the missing is very insecurate, the men sup posed to be musing having fallen into other regi ments and gone to Washington, many of the Zouaves to New York. In one brigade the nnui ber originally reported at Bix hundred and sixteen, was yesterday reduoed to one hundred and seventy fonr. These reduotions an being made daily. In a few days a mon cornet return oan bo made. Of course, nothing accurate is known of the loss of the enemy. An officer of their forces, coming from them with a flag of trace, admitted eighteen hundred killed and wounded, and other informa tion shows this to be much under the true number. The offioer commanding the Eleventh Hew York Zouaves, and Colonel Heintselman, say that the returns of that regiment cannot be relied on, as many of those reported among the casualties have absented ihem@e)ves since their retarßj and hayo gone to New York. Among tke missing reported, many of our surgeons, who remained in attendance on our wounded, and ware, against the rules of modern warfare, made prisoners. The issue of this hard-fought battle, in whioh certainly our troops lost no ondit in their aoifliot on the field with an enemy ably commanded, superior in numbers, who had bat a short distanoe to march; and who acted on his own ground, cn toe deicnßive, and always under caver, whilst our men were, of necessity, oat on the open fields, should not prevent fall credit being given to those officers and eorps whose services merited snecegs, if they did not attain it. To avoid repetition, I will only mention here tho names of those not embraoed in reports of di vision and brigade commanders. I beg to refer to their reports for the names of those serving un der their immediate erders, desiring that on this snbjeot they be oonsidered as part of my own. I claim oredit for the offioers cf my staff, and for those acting am auch during the day. They did TWO CENTS. evtry thing In thslr power, exposing themselves freely when required, and doing all that men could do, communicating orders, guiding the oolumos. exhorting the troops, rallying them when Woken, and providing for them the best the circnmstanoes admitted.

When I submitted! to the General-in- Chief, in ocmplianoe with his verbal instructions, the plan of operations and estimate of force re quired, the time I was to preosed to carry it into effect was fixed for the B:h July, Monday. Every facility possible was given me by the General-In Chief and heads of the administrative depart ments in making the necessary preparations. But the regiments, owing I was told to want of trans portation, came over slowly. Many of them did not oome across till eight or nine days after the time fixed upon, and went forward without my even seeing ihem, and without having been to gether before in- a brigade. The sending rein forcements to General Patterson, by drawing off the wagons, was a farther and unavoidable cans* of delay. Notwithstanding the herculean efforts of the Qaartermnator General, and his favoring me in every way, the wagons for ammunition, sub sistence, Ac, and the horses for the trains and the artillery, did not all arrive for more than a week after the time appointed to move. I was not even prepared os late as the 15th ultimo, and the desire I should move became great, and it was wished I should not, if possible, delay loDger than Tuesday, the 16th ultimo. When I did set out, on the 16ta, I was still deficient in wagons for snbsistenoa. But I went-far ward trusting to their being procured in time to follow me. The trains thus hurriedly gathered together, with horses, wagons, drivers, and wagon managers, all new and unnsed to each other, moved with difficulty and disorder, and was the cause of a day’s delay in getting the.provisions forward, making it necessary to make on Sunday the attack we suould have made on Saturday. I could not, with every exertion, get forward with the troops earlier than we did. I wished to go to Centreville the second day, whioh would have taken us there on tho 17th, and enabled us, so far as they were concerned, to go into action on the 10th, instead of the 21st; but when I went forward from Fairfax Court House, beyond Germantown, to urge them forward, I was told it was impossible for the meu to march fuither. They had only oome from Vienna, about six miles, and it was not more than 64 miles farther to Centreville—in all a march of twelve and a half miles; but the men were foot-weary, net so mnoh, I was told, by the distance marched, as by the time they had bean on foot, caused by the obstructions in the road, and the slowpaoe we had to move to avoid ambneoades. The men were, moreover, nnaocuatomed to march ing, their bodies not in condition for that kind of work, and not used ts carrying even the load of light marching order. We orossed Ball Run with about 18,000 men of all arms, the Fifth, division (Miles and Riohard son’s brigade) on the left, at B.ackbarn’s Ford to Centreville, and Sehenok’a brigade, ot Tyler’s di vision, on the left of the road, near the Btone bridge, not participating in ihe main aoticn. The numbers opposed to ns have been variously esti mated, I may safely say, and avoid even the ap pearance of exaggeration, that the enemy brought up all he aould, whioh were not kentengaged elsewhere. He had noiiee of our ooming en the 17th, and had from that time until the 21st to bring up whatever ha had. It is known that in estimat ing the force to go against Manassas, I engaged not to nave to do with the enemy forees under Johnston, then kept in chock in the valley by Major General Patterson, or those kept engaged by Mi jor General Batler, and I know every effort was made by the General In-Chief that this should be done, ana that even if Johnston j lined Beauregard, it would not be because he oould be followed by General Pat terson, but from causes not neoessary for me to re fer to. but known to all. This was not done, and the enemy was free to assemble from every direc tion in numbers only limited by the amount of thiß railroad rolling stock and his mpply of provisions. To the forees, therefore, we drove in from Fairfax Court House, Fairfax Station, Gsrmantown, and Centreville, and those under Beauregard at Ma nassas, must be added-those under Johnston from Winchester, and those Drought up by Davis from Richmond to other places at tue South, to which is to be added the levy en masse ordorod by the Richmond authorities, whioh was ordered to as semble at Manassas. What all this amounted to, I oannot say—oertainly much more than we at tacked them with. I could net, as I have said, more early push on faster, nor oonid I dolay. A large and the best part of my forces were threo-months volunteers, whose term of service was about to expire, but who wore sent forward as having long enough to serve for the purpose of the expedition. On the eve of the battle the Fourth Pennsylvania regi ment of volunteers, and the battery of volnnteer artillery of the New York Eighth militia, whose term of service expired, insisted on their dis charge. I wrote to the regiment, expressing a requost for them to remain a short time, and the Hon. Secretary of War, who was at the time on the ground, tried to induce the batter; to remain at least five days. Bat in vain. They insisted on their disohargo that night. It was granted, and the next morning, when the army movod forward into battle, these troops moved to the rear to the sound of the enemy’s cannon. In the next few days, day by day, I shaald have lost can thousand of the best armed, drilled, offi cered, and disciplined troops in the army. In other words, every day which added to the strength of the enemy made ns weaker. In conclusion, I desire to say, in reference to the events of the 21st nit., that the general order for the battle to which I referred was, with slight modifications, literally conformed to; that the oorps were brought over Bull Ren in the manner proposed, and pat into action as before arranged, and that up to late in the afternoon every move ment ordered was carrying ns successfully to the object wa had proposed before starting—that of gelling to the railroad leading from Manassas to the valley of Virginia, and going on it far enough to break up and destroy the communication and interviews between the forces under Beauregard and those under Johnston. And aould we have fought a day or a few hours sooner, there is every thing to show how we oould have continued soo oessful, even against the odds with whioh we con tended. 1 have the honor to be, very respectfully, your most obedient servant, Irwin MoDowbll, Brigadier General Commanding. General Cass. A correspondent of the Louisville Democrat, who has been sojourning in Detroit for some time, has written a letter to the Democrat , in which the following passage ooours; We oould not think of leaving the city without oalling on General Cass. We found him in good health, but Tary much depressed in spirit by the state cf the oountry. “Kentnoky,” said he, “ deserves everlasting honor for her loyal stand ” He mentioned some of the rascalities of the traitor Floyd, among other things he stated that at Do troit there hud been a large oollootion of arms whioh bad cost the United States six dollars eaoh, and that Floyd had sold them for thirty cents The battle at Manassas, General Cass considers a vto ■ tory oa our side, so far as the fighting Lconcerned When we took onr leavo at the door he thanked us for our visit, and said, in a despondent tone, “I am now eighty years old. I was bom before our Government was formed, and now it is a sad thing to ms to think it may be destroyed 'before I die.” “I hepe, Gen. Bass,” said I, “that yon will live to see it flourish in greater vigor than ever.” “ I hope so—l hope so)” replied he; but the tone was suoh as brought tears to my eyes. Gen. Cass has a beautitul collection of works of art, superior, I believe, to any other private ooi leotion in tbe oountry. This I will not attempt to describe. There la an original by Demenichine St. Agneß, whioh is perfectly lovely. There are several other originals, among them an Ecoe Homo by Guido. But I must dose. W.

Exobange ruled dull, and the selling rate given In our last wm but feebly sustained during the weak, and at the slose a general decline of 4of one per cent was eltab lished, the market closing at j- prem as the selling rate for bankers’ oheeks, the bnying rate being par. The Price Current says eonoeralag ihe Cln* cinnati dry goods market: “ Considerable strass is laid on tho Inoraaso of Irasines. expected from interior merchants hereto fore purchasing East, and who will not need raffl oient goods to justify so long a trip, and who also prefer testing tne future before venturing too fu. No doubt parties of thil description will be found in our market, bnt will operate with extreme can* tlon, generally buying for oasb. Collections slightly improved, and tha pros pect for future improvement was good. A disposition to sell produce promptly was in oreasing, and merchants in the interior were urging payment more efficiently than ever before. To get ont ef debt, on the pert of all, continued the prominent feature among honest men. “ The oity retail trade was generally dull. In thin summer goods there was, however, an In creased demand—hot rammer-weather making its fi st regular season’s appearance during the week” The St. Lonis Republican saya: The Exchange Market to day was weaker than It has been before this week. Sales were made at 7 par oent. premium, but not readily. Offers to buy were made as low as 5 per oent, and eieep tional sales were at 6to 64 Wo may look for ano ther deollne. Gold Ib m not mnoh demand, at tha same rate with the exobange. As we have stated, It Is understood that there has been a large amount of it lent ont here, bom the Bast, to pay off the troops; bnt not mnoh of it seems yet to have got into circulation. There has been considerable of a flurry in Chi cago in regard to Canda money, owing to the foot that tha Montreal banks have put up the prioe of exobange to 14c. premium. What enables them to do this is tho faoc, as noticed a tew days rinoe, that they are permitted by law to redeem in sovereigns at $4.86, while the low prioe of foreign ezobaxge makes them worth in New York only abont $4.80a 4 81.. As a oonsequenoe, tho banks have refused to take Canada money exoept at 2 to 24 per cent, dis count. The fright and flurry whioh took plaoe there a few days ago, concerning lowa cnrrenoy, haa al most disappeared. After an examination of the statement of the affairs of the State Bank, J. 7. Soammon, Taoker, A Co , and 0. B. Blair, and other bankers, agreed to take it on deposit at the nsnal rate of i per oent. discount Tbe Attorney General of Maseaebnsotts has re ooived a communication from the contractor for building tho Troy and Greenfield Railroad, an nouncing positively that he has stopped work on the road, without any present intention of resuming it, and that, under the most-favorable interpreta tion of the not of 1860, he should stilt oonßider it impracticable to proceed. From the statement for J uly, of the Illineis Cen tral Railroad, just issued, we learn that daring the month 5,94156 aoroß of land were told for $B4- 682 85 The total sash receipts in July In the Land Department were 134,786 77. In the Traffic Department the receipts in July were $170,200 06, against $193 930 76 in July, 1860. The total receipts since the Ist of January last were $1,606,117 02, against $L 366,815 77 daring the corresponding period in 1860. The New York PM, of this Uteraeon, itys; s, The stock market is quiet to day, but maintains its steady appearanoe, and the bond list again shows an important advanoe. The pressure to buy is directed more particularly to the issues of tbe Southern States, and especially North Carolines, Georgias, Lonisianas, and Virginias. These are soaroo, end the rise in the first-named is equal to ton per cent, within three days. Lonisianas are 24 per cent higher than yesterday The princinal feature of the share list was the dullness in New York Central, Eric, and Hudson. These stocks have been largely sold “ short,’ in anticipation of tbe reduoion ot the passenger fere between New York and Alban; on the river lines. The supply of oash stock, however, is so small that the Bears are unable to make any material impression on prioes, whioh soaroely vary t-. f per oent. from day to day.
