WASIIINGTON, July 21, 1861. 9 P.M.- The following dispatch from an officer has been received: FAIRFAX STATION, 5 SO P. si.—Tb enemy accepted battle in full force. A great' battle has been fought. The day is, ours:The enemy e totally routed. Great . loss on both sides. Lam on the way to Washington with fdll details. WASITINGTO.N, Monday, July 22.—Our troops, after- taking three, batteries and gaining a great victory, were eventually repulsed and commenced a retreat on -Washingtat. Te retreat is in good order with the rear well covered by a good column. The fortifications around Washington. are strongly readoiced by fresh Vol s. it is reported that late yesterday?.after noon, after the Rebels had been - riven from their storgholds at the ,Itun, they were re-enforced by Gem. : 4ohnston's forces,;when . the Union army wa's attacked : . and driven in disorder from the grOund. The _Rebel army numbered 90,000. Gen. McDowell was in the rear of the retruat,*exerting himself to rally his men, but only with partial effect. The latter part of the, army it is said, made their. retreat in good order. ' It is supposed that the for'4e sent out against our troops, consisted, according to a prisjner's statement, of about 30,000 raeq, ineludiag a large nutuberof cavalry. . He further says that owing to reinfEirce . - meats from Itichmond, Skawescing and arbor points/ the enemy's efUctive force was 00,000 moo. , • • WASUINGTON, Monday,Tuly '22; 1861 —Tie - retreat of the FederalltrooPs[yes , trerday,. was one of these 'cXitraortlinary events which-can no more be explained i Ilan it can it eau be justified Cir paliiatLid. The day was ours. Tho c edeMy had been di-iven step by . step from . every position, i and.the field was Oepupied by our troops. o . a-columns had united in tine very heart. of the rebels' stroughold, when the orcier t i o2retire was issued. . From, victory toi defeat' was only the work' Of an instant. I -lit the moment of:our greatest hope -- all uhanged, and the spirit and the valtir ofl the army were gorre.4 1 From the statements of Quartermaster! Fryer,' a rebel prisoner, its appears that' our artillefy created grep.tr-pavoc among I , lte rebels, of whova there are from thirty 1 thousand to forty; thousadd in •tlie .field under -command a Beauregtrd, while 1 they hare a reserve of Seventy-five thou-1 sand at. the Junction. . The whoie.force engaged on our side is estmated at 22,000 wen. Some of Our troops were wore out by hoe , marching -z, . _ Some one bap rerribly - bliindered. Who over ordered the attack with 20,000 men, upon thrice that number, in a strongly intrenelted position, projected by numer ous masked batteries, after long march ing, exposure', and 'deprivation of rations, is greatly to blame. / 1 GCn. McClellan immediately takes emu: wand on the other side of the Potomac. Gen. Rosenerantz takes his - command. Governthent bast i elearaphe'd to Massa• ebusetts for five thousand tijcn, and, to - I,;lecv York for five thousand thorn'. Among the killed, besides Co!.o Cam eron, and Slucum, and Farnham, ; , and Limit-Qui. Haggerty of. the Zouavcs, are Col. Kimball of the 2(1 Maine. Regiment, and Col Wood of the 11th •Brooklyn. The latter may be alive, but lie was left in an ambulance severely' wOunded, and bras not since - teen heard from. col. Law rence of the - Massachusetts sth 'was verY severely wounded.• None of the commii sioned officcrS arc missing except those - It is believed that not o,.er 18 or 0 pieces of artillery, and two batteries, hale certainly been captured. , Itis believed that Mr. Ely,:member of Oongress from New York, was captured by a Rebel troop of cavalry. 'As be was attempting to escape, he was shot in the sho‘lder. Gen. 'McDowell was in-the rear of the retreat, exerting himself to rally his- men, but only with partial success. few hours Acme ac The Rhode Island 'Battery was taken by the rebels at the bridge, across Bull's Run, where their retreat was cnt off; Their horses were all killed, It is 'reported that the Bln6lt florse airy made an attack_ on the retreating army, when the latter turned and firel killing alt 4 but six of the asSaulting party. Three New York Fire Zouaves, who were - scouting in the advance, hutit-- cd the rebels on the sly, ;like 'squirrels among the bush - es, and- chalked doWn 26 as positively killed by theM. • The New-York 71st cane upon a rifled nin. It lost eight men, - :but in return killed the whole of the IS rebels secreted. At last accounts the Rebels were en gaged in ransacking the bodies of the' dead. Until this work is perforated, they have do'tiaie to attempt pursuit. bs The Army reports are so confused and contradictory teat it is impossible to give =eh that can be said to be reliable. It is evident. that great far rules some of the-reports and that a panic has seized upon the men aud i the ',reporters also. There .is a feeling of suspicion manifested towards Patterson, they think if lie had done his duty the trouble; would have been 'avoided. The panic :was the result of the attraction caused by the hasty re-' treat of,speetators and baggage wagons. H. H. LYMAN, AT a' L - E Oswayo Cel3bralloa, 4th of July, 1:7.31 dlr.

But More akhiS anon: ; I say w - e.oceupy a position which many 1 nation's of the earth envy, artdivhich none coin , surpass. Les Us'' Molt for a few moments itt i some of - the - elements of our prosperity'. 'Fisk' and fotetudic of all; we most pay tribute: to the, genius ,of Liberty, as ;the ,primary;4nd principalenase,,Ofour .S.lleceSs its a nation.;, brit aside front ihii, 4 and in cointectienlWith it, there arc other Cal/Z '2 9 which we mar do 0111TION OF . .ur pur ttre. , e 1 Alcr Elle ii - ell,to,pause and ponder upon. We might rernark,.' that our proslierity is owing not so much'to the transcendent genius and brilliant powers of our chief. officials, as in the wisdom 'of the people. It is thy bode and sinew of the' of the land, physically Speaking, that consti tutes the strength thereof; so'in a self con. :s.tituted - government• like obr own, it is the amount of intellect which ,tliz masses pOssess, which constitutes theAsitivepoliticalstrenstia OW, nationa And if ithis wisdom could all be thrown on the side of loyalty and devotion to the country and thOcause of humanity, in stead of he selfish interests and personal ag grandizetuent of iuditiduals, the 'combined world could not demoralize us or conquer us by force of arms. The plan of our Govern ment was so conceived by our fullers, and so projected by them in , the Constitution, as to bring to bear , the combined wisdom of all classes in its administration. Prom the low est ofiicial; to the highest; either directly or indirectly, the „will of the majority of the people is, or should bc4, according to the Con= stitution, expressed in, their notion. Hence, if men always acted according to• their better judgements the actionof the constituted au thorities must be the expopent of the wisdom lof the entire mass goferned. What better or more enduring basis of government could be conceived of than thiS, and this is one of the principal elements of its success. But you cannot fail to see that the measure of that success-has been, and! must of necessity be, just in proportion as each individual member of the government or - will hereafter, act up to his convictions of justice, duty and truth, in the administration' of the government, either by casting his Ivote, or in serving his country. . I ' Another clement of 'the success of our g•or eminent arises front the religious liberty which prevails throughout the land, all exceptudiere the order of the government is for the time being overruled by mob power. But .as general and fundamental principle of our gov ernment every man is petraitted perfect-liberty to eujoy whatever religions 'opinion he chooses!. And I thank God:that, it is so ; for if there id any . one thing more ;than another that bas ! tended to preclude :thereby and revolution among the nations of the earth, it is the fact that governments, and kings, and potentates. hay.. , : i presumed to interfere in those matters I • - • - • - ch exist alone bet Ween man and his Cr6:t. "?Sail is accountable to God, and God I oOly, tbr Lis religious, belief, ancLuo govern. , neit on earth had a right to eay, aye or nay, to it. Not-but What: I believe it is of the greatest importance that man should pocset -, ..: a corrdct religious belief; not but what I be- I lieve that governMente should be formed and administered onprinciPles in exact accordance with jite law of God. But church and state shoufd have no connection whatever. A gov-1 ernment can be christ"i:an without being. eccle siastical ; a Presfdentior a King calf be ehrist lan, or infidelovith outibinding the consciences of their subjects to eiPier opinion. If a goy ernmeet had to nits:yir in another world fur, the mcral actionot! individuals in this; id would be quite anoth'er thing. But lam glad! this is not so ;for if Some Potentates should have to answer in another world for the sins of their subjects., and their own too, they would have a pretty hard time of it. No, our government started on right - principles here, I !and this is ono great reason of its success ; and this is •also cue reason why :our country - is! such a sweet hothe for the poor ! ex - Ile. The moment he steps his ~weary 'foot upon our soil, that moment its is dfilenthralied from all the I galling; chains which oppression has thrown around him, and,if he is guiltless of wrong, he can go forth i,td breathe our free air,.and' feel that he is indeed a free man. Be he JeW I or Gentile, Greek- or Scythian, Roman lie or Protestant, be can bow at his own shrine, and worship at his own altar, without' first paying deference to any earthly poten tate or power. , • Another element of success is the abundant opportunity ail'orded for native genius to de velop itself. Theta aie no titles here hostowed upon bul. , eile brains. ThCre is no privileged aristoerae; that•presumes, because their cestors wd!re, Nature's! noblemen, they have a right to occupy 4 position in society which rightly belongs tnthe footmen that serve them, for the reason that nature has stamped upon the footman that , true distinction which his would-be superior vainly tries to assume. I am aware that there are attempts at this thing, but it is not in ageordance with the spirit of our institutions. True genius, no matter how low its oeigim can byrtho fostering care of our social economy, rise to the position to which its own intrinsic 'merit entitle.; it. And our country, in its tinptir4loleci development shows the wisdom of our lathers in starchy , out ,uppn this plan. :As the , result of it, wrmt, do WC; see 7 Behold:yonder rekish looking object plu„inz its way up the en...relit of the nobig.
