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- ,

membranco from tho Highlanders. 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.

Shall viator exult, or in death be laid low,
With baok to me find, and hie feet to the foe!
Aud leaving in baitle no but on hiß name,
Look proudly to Heaves from the death-bed of fame.

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

As my position may warrant, even if it does not
call, for some explanation of the onuses, as far as
they can be seen, which led to the results herein
stated, I trust it may not be out of plaoe if I refer
in a few words to the immediate antecedents of
the battle. 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.

At Cincinnati, according to the Price Current,

still oan be negotiated at 10al2 per oent for sixty

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

The Price Current says eonoeralag ihe Cln*

“ Considerable strass is laid on tho Inoraaso of

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

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

take Canada money exoept at 2 to 24 per cent, dis
count.

most disappeared. After an examination of the
statement of the affairs of the State Bank, J. 7.
