Our information was o that the stone bridge, over which the Warrenton road crossed Bull Run, to the, west 'of Centreville, was defended by a buttery'in position, arid the road on this Side of the stream impeded by a heavy abattis. The alternative was, therefore, to turn. the extrothe left of his position. Reliable information was obtained of an undefended ford about three miles above the bridge, there being- another ford be• tween it and the bridge, which was de fended. It was therefore determined to take the .road to the 'upper ford, and, after crossing, to get behind the forces giitird. ing the lower ford and the bridgg, and, after-occupying the Warrenton road east of the bridge, to send a force to destroy the railroad at or near Gainesville, and thus break up the communieation between the entin y's forces at Manassas and those in the valley of Virginia, before Winches ter, whieli had been held in check by Major General Patterson.. • Brigadier General Tyler was directed Ito move with three of his brigades on the Warredton road, and commence cannon ading the enemy's •hotteries, while Bun ter's division, moving after him, should, after passing a little stream called Cub run, turn'to the right and tiorthyarid-move around to the uprierford,": : and there turn south and get behind the' enemy.- geintieltaan's ilivisionmas to, fallow . }lnk-. teen aii far -as •this r turhing oil place ; to the lower ford, where' 'h# "Mile 'etties.'zitter the enemy should •,haVe - been:driven out,' by Hunter's division -on • ,; the - Fifth '.Division (Miles') to hegira reserve tlie•Cntre; vile ridge.' •_• , . . , rhed felt anxious about the road•from Matiassaa by Sleek butt's Aril to•Cein ire vile aking this ridge fearing that whilst we 'should be - in'•force to • the front, and endeavoringqo turn the entitiVs position,.

C.: C. Lamm: 1 have the honor to submit the following report of the battle on the 21st of .J uly, near Manassas, Virginia.— It has been delayed till this time from the of the subordinate commanders to get earlier a true account of the state of their commands. . In my communication to you of the 30,11 ult., 1 stated it as my intention to move that afternoon, and drive the enemy from the east side of Bull Run, So as to enable the engineers to make a sufficiently amurate recorsnoisance to justify our fu ture movements. Later in the day they had obtained enough information of the passage across the stream to dispense with this reconnoissance, and it was decided to move without delay. It had been my in tention to move the several columns out ' on the road a few miles on the evening of the 20th, so that they would have a shorter march in the morning; but I de ferred to those who had the shortest dis- : tante to go, and who had preferred Start ing early in the morning, and making bur one move. On the evening of the 20th-ult , nay command was mostly at or near Centre• ville. The enemy was at or• near •Manas• sas, distant from Centreville about seven' mileS to the southwest. Centreville is a village of a few houses, mostly on the west side of a ridge running nearly north and south.

When I did 'set out on the 16th, I was 50116eficientin wagons for, sub. sister - ice. But.l vrentlerward trusting to their being_procured in time to fallow me.' The trains thus hurriedly gathered together, with 'horses, wagons, drivers, and wagon managers, all new and unused to each other, moved with. diltdulty andilisorder, and Was the souse ofa day's delay in getting the provisiOns forward, making it necessary to make on Sunday the attack we should have made on Saturday. I could not, with every exertion, get for ward with the troops earlier than we did. I wished to go to Centreville, the second day, which would have taken us there on the 17th, and enabled us, so fares they were concerned, to go into action on the 19th instead of the 21st; but when I went forward from Fairfax Court [louse, beyond , Germantown, to urge them forward, I wee WO that it was impossi• ble for the men to march filet*. They bad only come front Vienna, abOut six miles, and it was not more t han six and r. half miles far• Cher to Centreville—in all a match of twelve and a half miles; but the men mere foot weary, DOC'S() ranch. I was told, by the distance marched, as by the time they had been on foot, caused by the obstructions in the`road and.the slow peon we had to move to avoid ambus- 1 cedes. The men were, moreover, unacous• tomed to marching their bodies not in condi tion for that kind of work, and not used to carrying even the load of light marching or der, We crossed Bull Run with about 18.000 men of all armJ, the Fifth division (Miles and Rich ardson's brigade) on the left, at Blaokburn'a ford to Centreville, and Schenck's brigade, and Tyler's division, on the left. of the road, near the stone bridge, not partioipating in the main act ion.• The numbers opposed to us have been variously estimated. I may safely say, and avoid even the appearance of exaggeration, that the enemy brs,ught up all he could which war, not engaged elsewhere. lie had notice of our coming on the 17th, and had from that time until the 21st to bring up whatever he had. It is known that in estimating the force to go against. Manassas, I engaged not to have to do with the enemy's forces under Jo neon, „then kept in check in the valley by Major _ ....GertetaLPAtterscus—orthase_kupt. -engaged-by- Major General Butler. and I know every effort was made by the Geheral-its•Chief that this should be dune, and that even if Johnson joined Beauregard. it would not be because he could be followed by Gen. Patterson, but from causes not necessary fur me to refer to, if I knew them all. This was not done, and the enemy were tree to assemble from every di rection in numbers only limited by the amount of his railroad' rolling stock, and his supply of provisions.''" To thaorces, therefore, which we. drotte in from Fairfax Court House, Fair fax station, Germantown and Centreville; and 'those under lieaureßard at Manassas. must be added, thOse,undlieJahnson at Winchester. auCtlioito brought ..up by Davis from Rich- Mond and other places at the South, to which is to be added the levy en masse ordered by the Richmond Ituttroeit - Ns, Whiclrwas ordered to assemble at Manassas. What all this amount ed"io, I cannot say—certainly much more than we attacked them with. I could not, as I have said, more early pushed on faster, nor could I delay.. _ A large, and the best part of my force ,were three month 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 dye of the battle the Fourth Fen n- Fiylvania 'regiment of volunteers, --and the battery of volunteer artillery of New York Eighth militia whose tertn of service expi red, insisted on their discharge. I wrote to the regiment, expressing a request 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 battery to remain at least five days. But in vain. They insisted on the'r discharge that night. It was granted, and the next morning, when the army moved 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' should have lost ten thousand of the best armed, drilled, officered and disciplined, troops in the army. In other words, every day. which' added to the strength of the enemy made its weaker In conclusion, I desire to say, in re ference to thoevents of the 21st ult., that the ..general order for the battle to which I ; referred was;. with slight modi fication, literally, conformed to; that the corps were brought over Bull Run in• the manner proposed,. and put into action as before arranged, and that up tolate in the afternoon every _movement ordered was c flying us successfully to'the object - we had proposed before starting—that of getting to the railroad leading from Manassas to lhe valley of Virginia. and going on it fur enough to break up and destroytheircommunication and intervenes, between the force under Beauregard and those under Johnston. Add could we have fought a day or a few hours sooner, there is everything to show how we could have continued successful, oven against the odds with which we contended. - I have the honor •to be, very respect fully, your most obedient Servant, IRWIN 31c0911r ELL, Brigadier General Commanding.

It cannot be no cessary.that I should declare to you, for you know them well, who thepare whose parricidal swordsare now unsheathed against the Republic of - the United States. Their names are inscrihed tipon.a roll of infamy that can never perish. The'most distinguished was educated by the charity of-the Government =which they are now making war. For long years they were fed at its table, and clothed from its ward robe, and had their brov,garlanded by "its- honors. They are th&ungiateful sons of a fond mother, who dandled them upon her knee, who lavished upon them the gushing love of her noble and devoted na ture, and who nurtured them. from the very bosom of her life; and now in, the frenzied excess of a licentious-and baffled ambition, they are stabbing at that bosom with the ferocity with which the tiger springs upon his prey. The President of the United States is , heroiely struggling to baffle the machinations of theSe wicked. men. I have unbounded gratification - hi knowing that he has the courage to look traitors in the face, and that, in discharg ing the duties of his great office, he takes no counsel of his fears. He is entitled to the zealous Support of the whole country, and, may I not add without offence, that he' will receive the support of all who just ly appreciate the boundless 'blessings of our free institutions r SUBMISSION HONORABLE; But with the curled lip of scorn we are told by the disunionists that in thus sup porting a Republican administration in its endeavors to uphold the Constitution and the laws, we are " submissionists," and when they have_pronounced this word. __ ' - tli - e:y7siiripoe — tliey have imputed to us the sum of all human abasement. Well, let it be confessed ye.are "submissionitits," and weak and spiritless as it may - be deemed by some, we glory in the position we occupy. For example : the law says "-Thou shalt not steal;! we submit to this law, and would not for the world's worth rob our neighbor of his forts, his arsenals, his arms, his munitions of war, his hos pital stores, or anything that is his. In.: deed, so impressed.are we with the obli gations of this law, that we would no more think of plundering froth our neighbor half a million dollars because found in his unprotected mints, than we would think of filching a purse in a crowded thorough fare. Write as down, therefore, " sub missionists." Again : the law says "Thou shalt not swear falsely;" we submit to this law, and while in the civil or military ser vice of the country, with an oath to sup port the Constitution of the United States resting upon our consciences, we would not for any earthly consideratioa engage in the formation or execution of a con- spiracy to subvert that very Constitution and with it the government to which it has given birth. ,Write us down, there fore, again, "snbmissionists." Yet again: when a President has been elected in strict accordance with the form and spirit of the Constitution, and has been regularly in stalled into office, and is honestly striving to discharge his duty by snatching the Republic from the jaws of a gigantic trea son which threatens to crush it, we care not what his name may or may not be, or what the desigivition of his political party, or what the platform on which he staid during the Presidential canvass_;., we be:- Hove we fulfill in the sight of earth and heaven our highest obligations to our country, in giving to him an earnest and loyal support in the struggle in which he is engaged. GENUINE AND SPURIOUS COURAGE. Nor are we at all disturbed by the flip pant taunt that in thus submitting to the authority of the government we are neces sarily cowards. We know whence this taunt coves, and we estimate it at its true value. We hold that there is a 'higher courage in the performance of duty than in the commission of crime. The tigerof the jungle and the cannibal of the SOuth• Sea Islands have that courage in which'. the revolutionists of the day make their , special boast; the angels of• God arid the spirits of just mopped° perfect . have and have that eonrage which' submitii to the laws.
