IT. B. Maskr, Esq , Dear Sir: -Oar
mutual friend, Cuj. Cameron, felt on the field
of battiest Bull' Run, near Centrevilie, oo
tbe 12 1 at inel., whilst bravely commending bis
regiment, lie hud Buffered mocb from so
U nek of djaentety, several weak ego, bat
his strong Constitution enabled hi-n to lead
Ins troops oot of Camp Lnch.iel on Tuesday
lust, uol take bis position In (be grand army.
When he 6 ret reached the bottle ground be
was somewhat uuwell, but under the excite
meat of tbe occasion lie soon rallied, and
discharged bis duties with high spirit. Col.
Cameron nag niouoted during tbe battle oo
bis splendid charger, Intel; sent bim by bis
brother at Lew.sburg, uutil about 10 o'clock,
when he gave bim in the care of bis servant,
taking an nnmouiited position. During tbe
engagement Col. Cameron was perfectly cool
nd collected, proving tbe truth of what 1
heard bim declare that he was oot afraid of
bullets. During the action Cpt. Luing, of
the 76th, we'll op to bim, end after giving
bim same refreshments, remonstrated against
the expnseduess of his situation, Rut tbe
Colonel would not cbaoge, as bo felt it bis
duty to be witb bis troops, thongb in the
very midst of danger, where bullets whistled
tuost fiercely. The patient Captain, above
mentioned, was soon after severely wouDded
in several places, and brought oil the Geld
(a a carriage. He is oow lying at the In
firmary in this city. About 5 o'clock in the
afternoon a minnie ball came whizzing from
the enemy, which struck tbe' Colonel ib tbe
breast and brought bim to tbe ground. As
he fell ha raised his band to bis moulb, from
wbiub tbe blood pushed ont, and be expired
witb a single groan. Thus fell one of tbe
bravest officers io tbe service of our Govern
ment, lie bad conscientiously espoused tbe
cause of bis country. He bad confidence in
tht triumph of government over anarchy
Ho believed that God bus no sympathy witb
treason, and therefore freely offered bis
heart's blood oo tbe altar of freedom.
Col. Cameron was over six feet high, and
of an erect and commanding form. In uni
form be appeared admirable, to all observers,
nd bore a strong resemblance to Gen. Jack
son. 1 bad a long conversation witb bim a
short time ago, oo the subject of religion, aod
bu expreseed strong faith in God and in
every word which the Bible contains, at tbe
same time acknowledging bis sics. His
peculiar religious views were of tbe Presby
terian stamp, and I remember bearing bim
express his decided preference for the
Covenanters. He was a man of noble im
pulses, and has placed many friends under
obligations to his memory, who will Lever
forget bis generosity.
A sorrowing widow . survives bim at bis
residence, oo the banks of the Susquehanna,
In Northumberland county, Pennsylvania.
His brother, tbe Secretary of War, has
rj,t..s,.deW, to 'taw -sr-sir
awaiting their return.
Yoors, truly,
Cbaplaio 79th Reg., N. Y. S. M.
Having learned trrre dofiniteely tbe partic
ulars of Col. Cameron's death, 1 wish you to
incorporate io my communication sent tbis
morning, the following, viz :
Our troops bad fought bravely and deter
minedly up to 5 o'clock, P. M., wben it was
concluded that the day was ours. Tbe Fire
Zouaves were now ordered to skirmish in the
woods, but tbey were mostly cut op by tbe
Rebel Infantry, and driven out. The 69th
Regiment Iheu made an effort to out-Sunk
tbem on tbe right, and tbe 79th were marched
op in front of a masked battery on the left,
od here tb 79th received a most galling fire
from the battery, which mowed down their
ranks like grass. Notwithstanding these em
barrassing circumstances, Col. Cameron made
third effort to rally bis men, raising bis pis
tol (which bad just baeo banded bim by hie
orderly,) and waving it over bis bead, saying:
rally. Scotchmen, rullyl" Seeing tbe im
praclicubility of effecting a rally, Lieut, I'd
liott, of tbe 10th Company, approached Bud
said : "Colonel, the Regiment is already gone,
"and all we can do, is to take oB the wounded,
"many of whom may bleed to death if not
"speedily relieved. I will tie a white Laud
"kerchief to my sword, and carry it as a flag
"of truce in behalf of tbe wounded." Tbe
Col. said' "yes, do so," when be received a
minnie rifle ball in bis left breast, near the
middle, and fell dead npoa Ibe spot. This
happened between 5 and 6 o'clock, P. M.
His body was borne off tbe field by eight of
bis oriso, on muskets, four of whom were sbot
down in tbt performance of this melancholy
duty. The Colonel'steed is now in this city.
Col. Cameron wore oo tbe field, a plain
grey coat, but retained bis felt bat, witb feath
er and eagle attached. It is supposed tbe
feather attracted attention from the Rebels.
Intelligence reached here about an bonr
go that the body bad been recovered, but
tbis is a mistake.

both sides. The loss on onr side is estimated
at fion 1000 to 1200 killed, wounded aDd

Our troops after taking three batteries
and gaining a great victory, were eventually
repulsed and commenced a retreat on Wash
ington. The retreat la in good ordor, with
the rear well covered by a good column.
Our loss is from two thousand Ave bnudred
to three thonaaod. Tbe fortifications around
Washington sre strongly reinforced by fresh
troops.
FURTHER DETAILS -OF TI1E BAT
, TLE.
After the. latest information was received
from Ontreville. at half past seven o'clock
last night, a series of events took place io the
intengest degree disastrous. Many contused
statements are prevalent, but enough is known
to warrant the statement tbat we have suf-
fered in degree which bas cast a gloom
over the remnant of the army, and excited
tbe deeoest melancholy throughout Wash
ington. The carnage has been tremendously
heavy oo both sides, and on ours is repreeeu
ted as frightful.
We were advancing and taking the masked
batteries gradually hut surely, and driving
the enemy towards MannSNas Junction, wben
the eupmy seemed to be reinforced by Gen.
Johnston, and immediately commenced
drivinc us back, when a panic among our
troops suddenly occurred and a regular
stampede took place.
H is thought that Gen. McDowell tinder
took to make a stand at or about Ontreville
but the panic wai so fearful thnt the whole
army became demoralized, and it was impos
sible lo check them either ut Centrevilla or
Fairfax Court House,
Gen. McDowell intended to make another
stand at Fairfax Court House but our forces
being in full retreat be could not accomplish
the object. Beyond Fairfax Court House
the retreat was kept up until the men reach
ed t heir regular encampments, a portion of
returned to tbem but a still larger portion
coming inside of the lino of entrenchments.
A large number of the troops in their
retreat fell on the wayside from exhaustion
and scattered acting tbu entire route all the
way from Fuirfci Court House. Tbe road
from Hull's Ron to l.'cntreville was strewed
witb knapsacks, arms, ic. Some ol the
tronus deliberately threw away their guns
and oDDtirtenaoces tbo better to facilitate
their travel.
Gen. McDowell was in the rear at tbe
retreat exerting himself to rally bis men, but
with oolv partial effect. Tho latter purl of
tho army it is said made their retreat io good
order. He was completely exhausted,
bavioe slept but little fer three nijbts. His
those for whom they were intended.
It is BODDoeed that the fureo sent ecmineJ
uui troops consisted, according to a prisoner's
statement, of about dij.OOO men, including
large Diimoer ot cavalry, lie further says
thut owing to tile reinforcements from Rich
mond, Strawburg and other points. The
enemy's effective force was 00,000 men.
According to tha statements of the Fire
Zouaves they bave only about two hundred
men left fro-n the aluutihter. while the Sixty
ninth New York Regiinunl has suffered
fruitfully in killed and wounded.
8tiermiin', Carlisle's and the West Point
batteries were taken by the enemy, and tbe
eight seipe thirty two pound rilled cannon
The latter being to cumbrous to remove they
were left two miles on the other side of Cen
irevuie. Biicn or trie wounried as were
brought to the Centrevilie hospitul were left
there ufter having their wounds properly
dressed. The surgeon io attendance there
wa Frank II. Hamilton
The panit! was so great that the attempt
to rally them to a stand at Centrevilie was
entirely in vaia. If a firm staud had been
made there, our troops could bave been rein
forced and much disaster prevented.
General McjLjewBll was thus foiled in his
well arranged plans. It is sufficient that all
the provision trains belonging' to the United
Slates Governuieut are savtd. fcionie repi
mi'otul wagon9 were overturned by accident,
or wheels came off, and bad therefore to be
abandoned. Large droves of cattle were
saved by being driven buck in advance of tbe
retreat.
It is supposed here that Gen. Mansfield
will take commur.d of tbe fortifications oo
the other side of tho river, which ore able,
it is said by militay engineers, to bold tbem
against ony force tbe enemy inoy bring.
Large rifled euuyons and mortars are being
rapidly sent over aud inouuted.
Ad officer jtrst from Virginia at half past
ten reports tbat tbe road from Centrevilie to
the I'otoniuc is strewed with stragglers.
Tbe troops are resuming the occupation of

female portion of the population.
CAUSE OF TH K PANIC.
Tbe following is an account of tbe inaugu
ration or tbe panic wbicb has operated so
disastrously lo our troops. Jt receives
unusual interest from the subsequent events.
All our miii'.ary operations went on twiui.
miugly, aud Col. Alexander was about erect
ing a poDtjwi across Bull Run. 1'be eoetny
were seemingly in retreat, and their batteries
oeiug uuuiasKeu one alter anoiner, wben a
terrific consternation broke out among tbe
teamsters a ho bad incautiously advanced im
mediately after tbe body of tba army and
liued Warrington road. Tbeir consternation
a as shared io by tbe numerous civilians wbo
were on tbe grouod, and for a time it teemed
as if tbe whole army was in retreat.
Many baggage wagoog were emptied of
tbeir contents and tba horses galloped across
tba open fields. All tbe fences were lorn
down 10 allow them a more rapid retreat.
For a time a perfect panio prevailed, wbicb
cominouiceted itself lo tbe vicinity of Ceo
Ireville, and every available conveyance waa
aniXHd upon by tba agitated civilians. Tbe
wounded soldiers on tha road side cried for
assistance, but tba alarm was so great tbat
numbers ware pasaed by.
Several similar alarms occurred on previ
ont ccesiiout wfesa change of paturlat
renderod the retirement of tbe artillert
necessary on our part, and it was nmt j ut'
able tbal tbe alarm was owing to tbe" sen e- i
fact. I
Tb reserve force at Centrevilie was 1m
mediately brooght sp and marched In double
quick step in the following Order t Cot.
Kinstein's twenty seventh Pennsylvania reg
Imeftt with two guns, the Garibaldi Guards
and Blanket's first rifle regiment witb IU
batteries followed at several miles distant
by the De Kalb reginteot.
Whan our conrier left nt balfpast foor
o'elock P. M ., it was io the midst of tha ex
citement. Two new masked batteries had
been opened y Ihe rebels on tbe left Bank,
and that portion of the divlsioo had Its lines
broken aod demanded immediate reinforce
ments. Tbe right was in good order. The
battery erected on the bill tide directly
opposite the main battery of the enemy was
doing good execution and additional guns
were being mounted.
On bia arrival at Fairfax Court (louse our
Courier was overtaken by government run
sencers, who reported that our army was in
full retreat toward Centrevilie. They were
followed by less agitated parties wbo stated
that the report of the retreat was owing to
the fact tbat tbe alarm among tbe teamsters
bad communicated itself to the volunteers,
and even io soma instances to tha regulars,
and the lines were thus broken, aod that the
retirement of oar forces across Bull' Run
was rendered necessary.
Col. Hunter passed at the same time in a
vehicle, wounded. Ayre'a battery was also
reported as Inst. Crowds of carriages and
baggage wogons came rushing down tha road.
Tbe telegraph office was closed agaiost all
private business, and in an boor the alarm
had communicated all along tbe road to
Washington
FULL ACCOUNT
OF THB
GREAT BATTL E AT MANASSAS JUNCTION
AN EYE WITNESS.
Gen. McDowell, with his whole command,
left Centrevilie at 3 o'clock. A. M , on Sun
day morning last, innrchiog to attack tbe Re
bels' stronghold at Manassas Junction.
At six A. M. on Sunday, a heavy fire was
opened on the Bull Ran battlefield, and the
Rebels did not answer, although it was known
that they were there and our shells were ma
king terrible havoc.
When the masked batteries bred apoo
SJhenck s column, Lieut. Dempsey, Compa.
ny C, Second New York Kegiment, was kill
ed at the first fire ; and Wm. Maxwell, drum
uitir boy, wbo was at the time carrying water.
Our troops were kept under tbis galling fire
for fifteen or tweoty minutes, witbtn a stoue's
throw of tbe battery, but brooght off all the
killed and wounded.
A few momeuts after the attack by Scbenrk,
at Bull's Run. on the Warrentoo road, cbnds
of dust came from the direction of Maunssas
Junction and Brentsville, showing that tbe
Rebels were reinforced. A white Bag was
ruu up at thut point, to show tbat "we have
been attacked hy tbe main body of the army
Send help." Gen. McDowell's large force
bad now got in tbe enemy's tear, and waadri
vine them down towards tba Junction.
The most gallant charge of the day was
made by the New York Sixty-ninth, and
Nineteenth, and Thirteenth, who rushed upon
one of the batteries, firing as tbey proceeded
and witb great eclat attacking it witb tbe bay
onels' point.
The yell of triumph seemed to carry all be
fore it. They found that the Rebels had abao
doned tbe battery, and only taken one gun

most severely suffered. Lieut. Cul. Uagerty
was among the first killed.
At 10.45 General Scheock led b 19 column,
beaded by tbe Eighteenth aod Second Ohio
and New York, within a few buudred feet of
a masked battery of six guns.
They waited till our meo got up close, aud
then opened on tbem, firing in rapid succes
sion. Ten man were killed and wounded belong
ing lo tbe Second New York Regiment, and
also four belonging to the HecDnd Ohio Regi
meot, by tbe premature discharge of own mus
kets in their bands. A retreat wus ordered,
aud our men fell back.
Scheock failed to rally his colomn io any
order. The Ohio and New York men scat-
tered through tbe woods in pursuit of shelter
and water. The sun was broiling hot, and al
most suffocating, for the meo were uow ogt of
water.
The roar of artillery and peals of musketry
was kept up incessantly for a mile or two
along Ball's Run.
Tbe fighting was so general and indistinct,
that it was impossible lor us to learn reliably
tbe exact positions of tbe different brigades.
Wherever our men hud a good cbauce io
fair fi'ht, they swept the field; Up to about
3 P. M., our army was victorious, but the
men bad a dread ol the masked batteries, that
could not ba overcome j they were placed all
over tbe hill-tops and on sides of ravines, and
would open fire upon us wben least expected.
Col. Richardson, who highly distinguished
himself io the previous engagement, proceed
ed 00 tbe left, witb four Regiments of tha
rourtu Brigade, to hold the battery bill 00
tbe Warieutoo road, io the vicinitv of the
place where the last battle was fought,
loformutiou was received by Tyler's com
mand of tba exiBteuce of the enemy's battery
coinmaudiog the road. Our troops were tbeu
formed io battle array. The Second New
York and the Second Ohio on tbe left, the
Third Ohio aod the Second Wiscoosio, and
Seventy uintb. Thirteenth and Sixty-ninth
New York 00 tba right. Col, Miles' division
followed in the rear.
Schenck'i and Sherman's brigades, of Geo.
Tyler's division, advanced by tba Warrecton
road, wbile Heinlzlemao's aud Huoter't divi
sions took tbe fork of tbe Waireotoo road, lo
move between Hull's Run and Manassas Junc
tion, Keye's brigade, remained nt Centre
vilie. Up to tbe hour of three o'clock, P. M , it
was generally understood tbut we bad benv.
med 10 tbe enemy entirely, and tbat thoy
were gradually retiring j that Hunter had
driven tbem back in the rear) tbat Heintzle'
mau't command was meeting with every
success, and that it required but thn reserve
of Tyler's division to push onto Manassas
Junction.
We were in tbe centre of Tyler't division,
on tbe bill just east of Bull's Run 00 tbe
Warrentoo road. About 2 P. M. we saw
clouds of dust rising tu our left, at though
they were tryiug to oulfiank ut and come ou
us io the rear. Wa called teveral officers'
attention to it, bul there teemed to be no
man who could have reinforcement seui for
lo cover our flank.
Oo lb lelt of tba road were Sherman's
aod Carlisle's butteries, drawn op for fight;
00 tbe rigbl were gome three thousand men,
consisting of parts of the Ohio (and New
York Regiments, aod Ibe New York 69lb.
About threw o'clock P. M. tbeit batteries
opened ou us; every ball wsa wall fired ; tbe
first fell in front of the batteries, aod tbe next
one took 08 tba beads of two men, a few
yards below os, wbera Messra. S. H. Smith,
Sheriff J. Harper, Mr. Shaw, of tba N. Y.
Herald, and ourself, were standing. Orders
era uow given for tba mar to lie down, and
let tba bulls past over ; aud just at tbe order
wat given, another one twept over our
beads, aod ploughed tba field a few steps io
our rear. Our battery did not fire a gun
Tba enemy were oot to ba taeo, owing to
denta woodt between tbem aod ut. Our
heavy siega gun wat lying to the right, dis
abled by tbe carriage being broken down ;
tba balla flew faster aod faster, and tbe
batteries weru apparently being; brought

Mere we fotiod a prisoner, just brought in,
wbo gave bis aema as I, P. Fry or; aod on
questioning him closely we fonnd be we a

General Johnston wat for five years editor
of tbe Eagle, published at Memphis, Tens.,
and In the last campaign wat tbe leader of
the Douglas forces at Vicksbnrg, Mississippi,
where be edited tha Vicksborg Sentinel,
He laid tbeir lost waa heavy ; that our
artillery outnumbered theirs, and did great
execution wherever he bad a sweep al them.
Tbe first qu -stlon ha asked was, "how
about the netroes have you many of them
in arms t" "None at all." we told him.
"Yes, you have," ba answered t "I bave seen
a good many, aod there is one now, with
musket." We informed bim tbat tbey Were
servants, merely ; be said tbat they have
large numbers of negroes in One fighting
order. He kept his bat down over his eyes,
and seemed very much downcast. He said
they had about 80,000 men, and though
whipped then, could never be conquered. 11
bad no arms, oot even a sword ; bis pants
were miserable cotton stuff, witb a golc" stripe
down tbe sides, and bis hat was a Kossuth,

on which were arms of tbe Slate of Missis

barn, states that be waa from Texas, and
drove cattle to New Orleans, and one night
Retting droult, was arrested and forced to
join tbe Krtbel army the next day, with a
large number of others, wbo were in the same
predicament ; and that a number in his Read
ntent would dosert 00 the first chance.
Another prisoner was a ' brickluyer,"and had
to enlist or starve, "as there wus no work,
and be must live somehow."
About 4 P. M. a raport flew from man to
tnati that General Cameron's brother, Colonel
of the Seveotyniutb, was sbot through the
breast by a cuntion ball, and instantly killed.
L.leut. Col. Elliott, of the Seventy ninth.
rode towards his regiment, having been after
reimorcemetils, wlieo a ball cut his horse's
head off, and threw him down, bruising him
so tbat he could barely escape. All the
stragglers now commenced to run towards
Centrevilie, and tbe caissons, ambulances,
aud Butlers' wagons were ordered to be taken
back at once towards Centrevilie.
I he batteries were ordered around to cover
our retreat, and keep the Rebels from cutting
us off from Centrevilie, which was about three
miles in our rear, and where we bad about
four or five thousand of a reserve force ; tbe
battering wheeled off and look up the road,
and were retrealiug in good order, when,
about half a mile out, oue of the gun carria
ges was upset.
A uortio of Sherman's and Carlisle's
were left in the roadside, the gunners cutting
the traces and ruuning their horses. This
put the infantry in a perfict panic; tbey
broke ranks indiscriminately aud commenced
to ruu ; knai.ai a,, t.. wuo, K . , r,,i
boxes, bats, coats end everything, being
thrown io all directions. The men were
parched for water end were falling in every di'
rectioo. Officers were equally puuic-stricken
witb the privates, and iu vaio we endeavored
to stop the relreut.
Charles Ogden, George R. Smith, Sheriff
Harper, Russell F.rrett, of I'i'.t jburp, and
nh;- -.- - ..- ., it
pleaded with tears lor them It, git back and
get Col. Cameron's body. We took muskets
and threatened to shoot them down if they
did not; but we might as well have plen.i
with the winds to cease blowing. Tbe clouds
of dust were now perfectly suffocating.
"Give me water or PI I siuk," was heard
from all sides ; not a drop was to be hi:l til
to drink ; the wells were all drained, aud the
clouds of dust filled the air at every point.
Wa got in the rear of a uegro hut, aud there
secured water thick with filth, but it was the
best to be had; a number of Isuildings were
used for hospitals, and 00 every side cries
were made for surgeons.
Tbe firing of the enemy was kept up on
our rear witb artillery, and their cavalry rode
through and through, cutting and slashing
with perfect fiendiehness. We beard nf num
bers uf the most infamous aud damning acts
ever committed by 6avnge tribes.
Our wounded and dead are nearly all on
the battle field in tbe bunds of the enemy;
such as could crawl or walk were tr)ing to
get away, and such pitiable spectacles were
seen as made our heart sick ; but we 3oulJ
not help them; the fuw ambulances were
started o.l early witb the wounded ami tievi-a
returned. We saw a number lying on the
roadside, with medicine chests, and bnnaa.-es.
Tbe immense, haguatje train, consisting of some
six hundred or a thousand wagons,' lined the
road for a mile and and a half 011 tho Warrenton
road towards Hull's Htm, two u.ilcs hack of
Centrevilie. hen tha panic started the
wagons tried to fall hack on Centrevilie, but a
number were upset and broken down; the
drivers would immediately leave them and
escape 011 the horses. Other would throw out
their Uud of provisions and stores and till up
with soldiers and muskets; the hotly of the luj
gage, however, got in the rear af Centrevilie.
It is utterly impossible to ascertain the number of
lost, either prisoners, killed or wounded.
Col. Miies was sent with desptitehes from

He at once, without any attembt tu do so,
Said if General Scolt wanted his head blown
off, let bim take them himself; be would uot
do so, aod so they never went.
We left Centrevilie with the cheering news
that General Mansfield, with artillery and an
immense force was coming up to turn the Ka' els
back. About a mile east of t.'t-nlrevtlle we mrl
thu First New Jersey, with the Colonel riding
at their head. anJ hie sled" pleading fur the men

They inspired courage into the tetrealing sol
diers, but many fell exhausted by the wayside,
considering it safe to remain a lew minutes
longer to rest, l.urije numlier uf the men fell
into their old camp grounds, and tbe baggage

bul tha most sorrowful sight was ih loss ol
provisions and all kinds of stores, tha. lined lit

A drove of cattle was being taken across the
fields two mile hy large nuntiers uf men driving
them at the point of bayonet in a body ; tbey

STATEMENTS OF EVE WITNESSE8.
Th original cause of the retreat of ihe army
is alleged lo have been the misunderstanding of a
telegraphic despatch w hich wa worded so lo
read "retreat a little." The Becoml Michigan
Kegiment was lb first to retire, and th pauic,
which almost Instantly and without cause com
nunicaied iuelf to Ilia civilian and aimy wagon
teamsujrs, affected th Zouaves, who, alter their
deieal, retreated iu great disorder, and succeeded
in partially reforming al a j 'lwl about a ball
mile distant from the field of hstll. A soon aa
Ontreville was reached, a a'and wa mad, and
(jen. McDowell eetaMiahetl bis headquarters.
It i reporter! In Washington thai two memitfrrs
of tha Federal Congress hava rwen captured by
Ihe Rebels, and that ont Senator ba been equally
unfortunate.
The panic amnni the wagoner was so Intense
that In many instance Ihe trace were cut. and
the vehicle loaded with ature were left stsndlng
upon tbe Mghwey, completely blocking it up.
Visitor who had driven to the spot were obliged
la leave their vehicle and walk to Washington.
Governor 8prgue,. rinding il Impossible lo
rescue a portion nf hi gun, in consequence of
Ihe destruction or a bridge, detihentely returned
and spiked them.
The Zouavra were badly prepared for battle,
having been without suitable refreshment fur
nearly twenty hour
Colonel fiurmlde had two horses shot under
him.
Knur rompnnte of Indian cavofry were with
Ihe Rebel, and two regiment of negroes
Mr. Russell, of the London "Time," whll on
the field, remarked that he never saw tueh iter
Derate attack upon batteries, either at tha Crimea
or Solferiuo, as during thia action.
SI ILL LATER
WasniNOTOK, July 2.1
Up to this tim the War Department have
refused all requests for fisgs of truce, for lha
purpose of bringing off tbe dead bodies of tba
wounded.
Colonel Cameron lies on the field where he
died, at Ihe heap of his column, as they char
ged upon a battery. The R-b Is bave no
doubt rifM the body, and mutilated it so that
it cannot he identified. All tbe regiments
offered will bu accepted, and an itnmenta
cavalry and artillery force be put in tbe field
at once.
Our lines are now drawn in to the original
points from which the enemy advanced to
Fairfax. They only run out two miles from
Alexandria. Our pickets and ontposls will
now no doubt ba Tearfully harrassed si.d
butchered by Rebel cavalry aod riflemeo.
The heavy siege guns, to throw shells seven
miles, will now doubtless be turned upon ns.
Washington can be huld against ail tbu force
the enemy can brin.
The largest proportion of our wounded are
left in the battle field. Tbe Assistant So
geon at Centrevilie told us that all were left
there who could not walk.
Hon. Owen Lnvejuy was with Gen. Mc
Dowell's Staff on horsebar k, and an officer
having his horse shot under him, he gave bim
nis, and procured ao ambulance and drove
into tbe field and brought uwy two wounded
men.
Colonel Kinstein's Regiment behaved gal
lantly, and won the highest compliments for
their valor in covering our relteat. The
refusal of the Fourth Pennsylvania logo into
the engagement, and the departure of tba
Fifth, tuakuall Peunsylvauiuus blush with
shame.
Pennsylvania avenne is lined today witb
soldiers, uud all the bu-ildings in thn city
that can be procured have beuo routed fur
tlietn.
From all the sources that information run
be gathered by the War Department, they
say that our ki,'leowjll range from four hun
dred to a thousand. Men are rapidly gath

The officers who took Mr. Prior prisoner
