THE BULL RUN BATTLE.
dr. Russell’s second letter.
The following is an extract from Dr. Russell’s
second letter to the Times , descriptive of the Bull
Run battle ;
As no one can say what a day or a night may bring
forth, particularly in time of war, I avail myself of a
chance of probubfc quiet, such as it is, amid the
rolling of drums, the braying of trumpets and bands,
ith© noise of marching men, rolling of wagons, and
.general life and act vity in the streets, to write some
remarks on the action of Manassas or Bull Run. Of
its general effects abroad, and on the North and
.South, a larger and perhaps a better view can bo
‘taken from Europe than on this side of the Atlantic.
‘There is a natural and iutense anxiety to learn what
impression will bo made abroad by the battle—for,
notwithstanding the vulgar and insolent arrogance
of the least reputable portion of the press in the
United States, generally conducted' by aliens or
persons who hare left Great Britain from cause—
it is felt that the result of the action niusff have very
strong influences over the fortunes of the contending
parties, particularly in the* money market, to which
recourse must be had in fear and trembling.
It would be well not to arrive .at hasty conclu
sions in reference to the bearing of the defeat on
the actual struggle. Those who are persuaded
that the North must and will subjugate the South
see in the disaster merely a prolongation of the war,
a certain loss of material) or even an increiueut of
hope in the spirit it will arouse, as they think,
among the Unionists. Others regard it as an evil
omen for the compromise they desire to effect, as it
will give the North another insult to avenge, and
inspire the South with additional confidence. The
Confederates will accept it as proof demonstrative
of their faith that the North cannot conquer them,
and may take it into tlieir heads to corroborate it
by nn attempt to inflict on the North that with
which they have been menaced by the Cabinet of
Washington and its supporters.
Of the Cabinet, Mr. Chase, the Secretary of the
Treasury, is perhaps the only man who bore up
against the diriicnrtemng intelligence of Monday
morning; but Mr. Seward and others arc recover
ing their spirits as they find that their army was
more frightened than hurt, and that the Confede
rates did not advance on the cjipital immediately
after their success. S
If Mr. Linc-oln were indeed a despot, with the
genius to lead or direct an army, now would be his
time. All the odium which could be heaped upon
him by his enemies, all the accusiltiotjs that could
have been preferred. North and South, hare boon
fully urged, and he could not add to them by lead
ing his army to victory, while with victory would
certainly eeme the most unexampled popularity,
and. perhaps, an extraordinary and prosperous te
nure of power. The campaign would be ono wor
thy of a Napoleon, nor could it be determined by
even §50.0.000.1100 and 500.000 men, unless they
were skilfully handled and well economized. If
popular passion be excited by demagogues, and if
it be permitted to affect the councils of State, it is
©asy to foresee the end. though it is not so easy to
predict by what stops ruin will be reached at last.
The great question to be decided just now is the
value of the Union sentiment in the North. Will
the men and the money be forthcoming, and that
soon enough to continue the war of. aggression or
recuperation against the seceded State? t
"While Congress has been passing bills of pains
and penalties, confiscating rebel property, and
amending sundry laches In the pennl code, as well
as filling up rat-holes, through which conquered
and runaway Secessionists might escape, in the
laws and body of the Constitution, the conquest is
suddenly deferred, and Cotton stands King on the
battle-field. We are glad of it." cry the extreme
Abolitionists, i; actually delighted, because now
slavery is doomed.”
If the hulk of the capital and population of the
North is thrown into this struggle, there can be but
one hope for the Confederates —brilliant victories
on the battle* Geld, which must lead to recognition
from foreign Powers. The fight cannot go on for
ever, and it' the Confederate States meet with re
verses—if tlieir capital is occupied, their Congress
dispersed, their- territory (that which they claim as
theirs) occupied, they must submit to the conse
quences of defeat. Is not that equally true of their
opponents ? On what ground car. the United States,
which were founded on successful rebellion, claim
exemption from the universal law which they did
so much to establish ?
General Scott, whether he disapproved, as it is
said, the movement onwards or not, was certain
that the Confederates would be defeated. Every
hour messengers were hurried off from the field to
the end of the wire, some miles away, with reports
©f the progress made by the troops, and every hour
the telegrams brought good tidings up to 4 o’clock
or so, when the victory seemed decided in favor of
the Federalists ; at least the impression was that
they hp-d gained the day by driving the cnomi* be
fore (hem. Then came the news of the necessary
retirement of the troops. Nevertheless, it is af
firmed that up to S o’clock in the evening General
Scott believed in the ultimate success of the United
States troops, who. under his own immediate orders,
had never met with a reverse.
The President, the Secretary of War, and other
members of the Government, were assembled in
the room where ihc telegraph operator wa? at work
far into the night, and as the oracles of fate un
coiled from the wires, gloom gathered on their
faces, and at last, grave and silent, they retired,
leaving hope behind them. It must have been to
them a time of'anxiety beyond words; but of old
the highest honors were 'given to him who, in
calamity and disaster, did not despair of the Re
public.
The men of some regiments fought well: others
did cot. There was little or no difference between
the privates of the one aud those of the other; there
was a marked distinction between the
officers. The West Toint cadets will all be used up
by the increase of the regular army of the United
Stales to 40.000 men, just agreed upon by Congress;
and the bulk of the officers with military experi
ence and education are provided for already.
The President is not exempt from the fate of the
unfortunate in all republics, but he has a good deal
©f the future to draw' upon, and the people are
.amused by changes among the military commanders
and by threats and promises, for which the}' will all
have tc pay before the quarrel is adjusted. It is so
generally asserted that General Scott did not ap
prove the advance, for which his plans were not
matured (and it is so probable, too), that it may be
believed by those who have hot the greatest faith
in the firmness of his character, and who think lie
might be induced to give orders for the execution
©f ill-conceived and hasty projects, or, at all events,
to precipitate operations without the necessary con
ditions of success. It is certain the country was
becoming fretful and impatient, and that men like
Mr. Wilson, chairman of the Military Committee of
the Senate, were loud in their complaints of the
delays nr.d inactivity of the army and of its chief.
When the statements in the American papers are
compared with the facts I am aware it will be neces
sary to rely a little on “character,” in asking faith
for what I report. There was not a bayonet charge
mode by the Federalist infantry during the day;
there was not a charge of any kind made by the
Confederate cavalry upon any regiment of their
enemy until the gutter broke. There was not a
hand-to-hand encounter between any regiment?.
There W«? not n single “battery charged ?J or taken
by the Federalists.- There were uo ‘tnaxhml batte
ries in play by the former. There was no annihi
lation of rebel horse by Zouaves. Fire or other.
>a A volley fired by one battalion emptied three
saddles among a body of horse who appeared at
some distance, and the infantry which pprformed
the execution then retired. There were no despe
rate struggle? except by those who wanted to get
away. The whole matter in plain English amounts
to this: The Federalists advanced slowly, hut stea
dily, under the fire of their artillery, driving the
enemy, who rarely showed out of cover, in line be
fore thorn, and gradually forced them back on the
right and centre for a mile and a half towards Ma
nassas. As the enemy fell back they used their
artillery also, and there was a good deal of pound
ing at long ranges with light field gun?, and some
heavier rifled ordnance, the line on both sides being
rarely within 500 yards of each other.
On one occasion tlic regiments on the right were
received by a musketry fire from the enemy which
induced litem to fall back, but they were rallied
and led towards the front. The Confederates again
gave way. and the Federalists advanced once more.
Again the line of the enemy appeared in front, and
delivered fire. The Zouaves, as they are called,
and the Eleventh New York, which were on the
flank, fell into confusion not to he rallied, ami
eventually retired from the field in disorder, to use
the mildest term, with a contagions effee t on their
comrades and with the loss of the guns which they
were supporting.
Nothing wouid r or could, or did stop them. In
vain they were reminded of their oaths to “ avenge
Ellsworth’s death.” Their flag was displayed to
the winds, it had tost its attractions. They ran in
all directions with a speed which their fortune fa
vored. 1; I tell the tale as it was told to me” by
one who had more to do with them, and had better
opportunity Of witnessing their conduct, tlmn I had,
for, B 5 I have already stated In a previous, letter. I
was late on the ground, and had not been able to
see much ere the retreat was ordered. Though I
was well mounted, and had left Washington with
the intention of returning early that night, I found
fugitives had preceded me in masses all the way,
and when I crossed the Long-bridge about 11
o’clock I was told that the city was full of those
who had returned from the fight.
But, if the miserable rout and panic of the Fede
ralists have produced such deplorable results to
their cause, they hare Still much to be thankful
for. Had the Confederates been aware of their
success, and followed up their advantage early on
Monday morning, there was no reason on earth why
they should not have got into Washington or com
pelled the whole of the Federalist army that kept
together and could not esoape, as it was all on one
road, to surrender themselves prisoners, with all
they possessed. If the statements in the Fedcralist
papers as to their strength be correct, the rebels
could have easily spared 30,000 men for that pur
pose. with a reserve of 10,000 or 15,000 in their
rear.
The Chain Bridge, the fords above tho Falls,
were open to them—at loast., there could be but
little or no opposition from the disorganized forces.
The’ columns moving round from Fairfax to their
left by Vienna would have been able certainly to
cross at Matildaville; others could have got over at
the Falls, and still there would have been enough
to permit Beauregard to occupy Manassas, and to
send on a heavy column to cover Alexandria and
to shut up the Federalists in the earthworks and
tele dr pant, if not to wrest them from troops
deeply affected by the rout they were witnessing.
If the Confederates had the cavalry of which so
much has been said, they were scandalously han
dled. A detour by a crossroad from Centreville to
the Germantown road would have placed the horse
in the rear of the retreating mass in half an hour,
and it is not- too much to say that mass would have
thrown itself on the mercy of tho pursuers. If
Beauregard’s or Lee’s force was small, as they say,
and suffered as much as the Federalists aver, the
flight is the more incomprehensible. But still it is
very strange that the victors should not have been
aware of their victory—that is, of the utter rout
which followed their repulse.
The attempt to form line on the top of Centre
vilte, only partially successful as it was, might have
imposed on the enemy, and saved McDowell from
the pursuit which he did his best to avert. The
journals, which at first boasted of the grand Union
army of 45,000 men, are now anxious to show that
0n1y20,000 men were engaged. Why did the other
25,000 run away? The German Regimentunder
Col. Blucker. and perhaps some other corps, may
have retired in good order, but eventually few with*
stood the-iuccssant alarms.
The rain, which commenced on Monday morning
«arly, may have, had much to do with the undis
turbed retreat of the Federalists, as the enterprise
and activity of the enemy would be-nmeh diminish
ed in consequence, and, as for the beaten army, it
has been always observed that troops hold together
and march well in rain. But,, with all allowances
end excuses, it is still mysterious inactivity. John
ston, whose junction with 40,f100 nien is said to have
taken place (if he had half the hnihber it is more
than I give him credit for) on thb morning of the
battle, must have swelled the force under. Lee and
Beauregard to 70,00ftmen at the least. Ife is the
brat officer in the Confederate army.
Before breakfast I rode over the Long • Bridge to
Arlington. There were groups of soldiers, mostly
without arms or belts, some few shoeless, a good
many foot-sore, going along the ground, or standing
in the streets of the city, engaged in the occupation
called “ loafing” in these parts. Several of the
men stopped me to iuquirc after the different regi
ments to which they belonged. They were de
jected and broken-looking follows, but, nt nil
events, their mein was more becoming than that of
their officers, who are crowding about the hotels,
and talking of their “ whipping" with complacency
and without shame.
Great exertions were requisite yesterday to pre
vent the inob of disorganized soldiers and the rabble
from maltreating or murdering the Confederate
prisoners, and it was necessary to rescue thorn by
patrols of dragoons. Gen. MoDnwotl has been
much distressed by the dastardly conduct of some
ol* the beaten troops towards their prisoners,
and there have been strange scones in consequence.
“ General,” said one man, “ had I known this, I
would have died a hundred times before I fell into
these wretches’ hands. Let me go free, and lot
any two or four of them venture to insult me then!”
The soldiers are, however greatly irritated, not
only by defeat, but by reports of the most horrible
cruelties and atrocities towards prisoners aud
wounded by the Confederates For ono, lam loth
to credit these stories, but it is only right to say
that there are many such current, particularly in
reference to the New Orleans Zouaves.
Gen. McDowell is a man in the prime of life,
some forty and odd years of age, very powerfully
built, with a kindly, honest, soldierly expression in
face and manners, and it was pleasant to sec that*
though he was not proud of being “whipped,"
there was no dejection other than that a man should
feel who has been beaten by his enemy. but who
knows he has dono his duty. Originally he had
proposed & series of operations different- from those
which were actually adopted, and his dispositions
for the advance of hi? columns after the scheme of
attack was decided upon were careful and elabo
rate.
But he miscalculated somewhat the power? of
regular troops. All his subsequent operations were
VflilUvd by the impossibility of gaining the point
fixed or* for the first day’s innveh, and Gen. Tyler,
who engaged somewhat too seriously with the
enemy on the left nt Bull Run on the Thursday
before the battle in making what was a mcro recon
vaisance, put them on the alert and hastened up
Johnston.
The officers all agree that the Federalists had ad
vanced stcadih* on the right and centre, and that
they' had driven back the Confederates with con
siderable loss for n mile and half, when the panic
took place in the regiments on the flank-of tho
right, which necessitated the issue of an order for
the retirement of the whole force, and the advance
of the reserve to cover it. The volunteers who had
broken could not be rallied, the movement, always
dangerous with ?i<h materials, under such circum
stances was misunderstood by the wagon drivers
and by other regiments, raid the retreat became
finally the shameful rout, which was only not utter
ly disastrous because of the ignorance *anu inacti
vity of the enemy. Major Barn*, nn officer of the
regular United States Artillery, told me he could
not stop the runaways, who ought to have protected
hi? guns, though tho gunners stood b3* them till the
enemy were Fairly upon them, ami that, as for the
much-talked-of cavalry, two round shot? which were
pitched into them b3* his batter}' sent them to tho
right-about at once.
The regular officers spoke in only one way of tho
conduct of the officer? of the volunteers and of
certain regiments. Indeed, what could be said of
men who acted after and in notion as others acted
before it. aud went away as fast as the}' could ■
Thu? the men of a. volunteer battery marched off,
leaving their guns on the ground, the very morning
of the engagement, because their three months’
term of service was up, aud the Pennsylvania regi
ments exhibited a similar spirit. The Sixty-ninth
Irish volunteered to serve as long as they were re
quired, and so did some other corps. I believe; but
there must be something rotten in the system, mili
tary and political, which generates such sentiments
and develops neither the sense of military honor
nor «ny of that affectionate devotion for the Union
which is called by one party in America patriotism.
McDowell’s corps were ordered to march with three
dins’ food cooked, and not including, of course,
the day of marching. The food was, however,
issued inclusive of that chi}*, and next da}- the men
had eaten up or wasted, the'two days’ rations in
orie. and had nothing. They were badly provided
with food and with water on the very day of
the action, and some men told me that evening they
had eaten nothing siuce 2.3 D A. M. Indeed, the
General witnessed the disorder which was caused
b}’ the regiments rushing out of the ranks to drink
at a small stream before they went into action,
though their canteens were filled before they set
out. Mr. Bernal, the British consul, came over to
dn}' to consult with Lord Lyons on certain matters
connected with our interests in the city of Balti
more. As the truth is developed the Secessionist?
in Washington become radiant with joy. and can
not conceal their exultation wherever ’it is safe to
indulge it. Their ears are erect for the sound of
the cannon which is to herald the entrance of the
enemy into the capital of the United States. The
Unionists, on the other hand, speak of the past
hoj>es of the enemy, of the great reinforcements
arriving, of the renewed efforts of the North, and
of its determination to put down rebellion. There
must- be an infatuation which amounts to a kind of
national insanity in a portion of the North, or is it
possible that they believe what the journals tell
them—that they are tho strongest, bravest, richest,
mightiest people in the world—and that they have
Only to will and the world—including the Confede
rate States —is prostrate before them? The exag
gerations and misstatements of part of the Ameri
can press would certainly lead those who believed
it to such conclusions.
The Food Question.
[From the Washington Sunday Morning Chronicled
Exactly a year ago, the expectations of a good
harvest were most desponding all over Europe, but
especially in England, where there was literally a
nine-months almost constant spoil of wot weather,
from November. JSOO, to August. ISCO. The defi
ciency in the English'harvest- of 1800 was greater
than had ever been known within the memory of
man. So great was it that, according to a speech
lately made by Mr. Cobdcn. 15.000,000 quarters of
train of all kinds, adapted for the food of man and
east, were inij>ortcd into England from foreign
countries—principally from the United States. As
there arc eight bushels in a quarter, the full quan
tity for which the British people were dependent
upon foreigners was 120.000.00 ft bushels. About
one half of this quantity was imported for the'use
of man, and the amount paid to the United States
hag been estimated at §7.000,00'). To repeat Ml*.
Cobden’s very clear statement, “ Last autumn it
was known that our harvests were everywhere fail
ing. and that millions of people would be wanting
food beyond that which could be supplied by our
own soil. Those harvests which were ripening on
the remotest steppes of Russia, on the distant- prai
ries of America, and on the most inaccessible pla
teaux of ►Spain, were wafted to our shores, and were
not merely brought to our granaries, but were dis
tributed through the towns and villages of this
country, and found their way to the tables of peo
ple who would otherwise have died of hunger; and
all this process went on without the aid of Govern
ment, and without aay recognition of a public duty*:
it was quietly, easily, and without shook or convul
sion, the result of free trade."
The supply was so considerable and steady, that
the prices averaged fifty shillings a quarter. ‘ In tho
year ISOO, before foreign grain was admitted into
England, except by paying a duty so high as to he
prohibitive, the price had been 115 shillings, and
in 1801 as much as 1211 shillings a quarter. In 1811
it was 95, in 1813 as much as 109, and in ISI7 ns
high as 97 shillings a quarter of eight bushels.
Hence the reduction of duty to 24 cent 3 a quarter,
(in 1846.) the highest price was 60 shillings, iu the
famine-year of 1847, and the price was under 39
shillings in 1851.
Last year onr harvest was very abundant, Rnd
the teeming West profited by her ability to feed the
English and the French. We beiievo that the mo
ney paid by France and England to the United
States, in 1 SCO. exceeded fifty millions of dollars, at
least two-thirds of which was received in gold. IVe
have equal prospects of a fine harvest in 1801, but
there will be a comparatively limited demand for
its fruits from Europe, where all the recent accounts
agree in assuring ns the produce will be fur above
the average as to the quantity and qnnlity of the
yield. It is to be hoped that the grain-growers of
the "West may he fully and accurately informed on
this matter, because it will be utterly ruinous for
them to hold over the grain in the hope that there
may he a demand for it by and by.
The war has diminished the number of horny
tisted men who till tile soil, and there may be a dif
ficulty in gathering it in, in some places. It will
be housed, however—most of it, at least —and there
will he a great demand for it at home. It will take
a great quantity of cereal produce to feed the gal
lant patriots now in arms in defence of the Union,
as established by the Constitution, which is tho
Magna Charta of onr liberty and nationality.
Indeed, there seems a special providence, at thia
Crisis, in the almost certainty of a liberal harvest in
Europe. Were-1861 like 18(50, with an immense
demand from abroad, either Europe would have to
do without her necessary quantify of food or our
brave men-at-arms might find it difficult to procure
food. The grain that is housed in this country
during the present autumn, will be principally con
sumed on our own soil. AVith nearly half a million
of soldiers and sailors to feed—and they ought to be
fed well—a great quantity must be supplied. Thank
God. there is plenty in the land, in the midst of our
troubles.
A Limited Monarchy.
Governor Brown, of Georgia, has been in a quar
rel with President Davis, for some time, upon con
flicting points of military jurisdiction between State
and Confederate authority. This quarrel culmi
nated on the.2d inst., in the disbanding at Atlanta
of a brigade commanded by General Phillips. Gov.
Brown “ improved” the occasion to denounce Jeff.
Davis A Co. in the following style:
“He regretted to see so many indications of a
disposition on the part of many persons under the
new Government to ignore the great doctrine of
State Rights, and to treat the States, which are the
very authors of its existence, and which have in
fused breath into its nostrils, as its mere provinces
and dependencies. During the war he was willing
to yield everything which could he yielded without
a violation of an important principle, but he feared
at the end of the contest that the great battle of
State sovereignty, which was fought at the revolu
tion of 1776, had to be fought over again.
“ AVe have now, as then, two different classes of
statesmen, each sustained by many followers. The
one class, desirous of a strong central Government,
probably preferring, if they did not fear to risk an
avowal of their sentiments, a limited monarchy.
similar to that of Great Britain, or other form o.
government, which will accomplish the same object
under a different name.
“He warned the people of Georgia and of the
South to watch, with a jealous eye, and to oppose,
with determined hostility, every effort, whether by
construction or bold usurpation of powers, which
may be made by those in authority, or by those
seeking position, to consolidate the power of the
people in the hands of the few, or to destroy State
sovereignty and build upon its ruins either a mo
narchy or a consolidated aristocracy.”
The New Yohk Clothing Contract.—Gov.
Campbell declares that the select committee of the
Military Board, by their examination, have proven
two facts: •
Ist. That the uniforms were inspected in piles,
and not by the single garment or uniform; and 2d.
That certificates of inspection were given by such
inspectors to the Messrs. Brooks, and by them nail
ed -upon boxes containing uniforms, without the in
spectors knowing the eontentsof such boxes.:
The cloth, it is said, was not only superior [infe
rior ?] but the testimony taken before such commit
tee also discloses the facts that somo of those uni
forms had no buttons upon them, others even only
in part sewed, the button-holes in many of their
coats were not worked; that over 8,000 uniforms
were not only badly out and made up, but were of
olotb go decayed as to be unfit for use. Surely, the
“ inspectors”, will not claim to: have inspected each
of such garments “ separately."— New Vorl Ex

Prof. O. J. Wood : Dorn* Sir: In the latter part of the
year 1852, while attending the Stale and National Law
School at the State Of New York, my lmir, from n cause
Unknown to me, conimencwl falling off very rapidly, so
that in the short space of six month?, the whole Upper
part of my scalp was almost entirely bereft of its cover
ing, and much of the remaining portion upon the sirio
and hack part of my head shortly after be-' ft ae gray; so
that you will not be surprised when I tell von that, upon
my return to the State of Indiana, my more casual ac
uuaintance? were not so much at a loss to discover the
cause of the change in my appearance, as my more inti
mate acquaintances were to recognize me at all.
I at once made application to the most skilful physi
cians in the country, but, receiving no assurance from
thorn that my lmir could again be restored, I was forced
to fiiTOtnc reconciled to my fate, until, fortunately, in
the latter part of the year 1857, your Restorative was
recommended to UK: by a druggist, as being the most

OF THE PEOPLE against. Executive Usurpation, and
Unfair and Tyrannical Legislation; ever declaring and ad
hering to the doctrine that POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY
constitutes the fundamental basis of our free institntiooa,
and that the intelligence patriotism of our Citizen*
will always be preservative of a wise, just, and salutary
Government. These are the principles to which THI
WEEKLY PRESS has been committed, and to these II
