Connected Acconnt;of
gagement at Bull's
Mr. "Raymond of the NM York
Nras on the field, gives the most
connected narration of the 13attle
appeared
I WASIIINGTON, M4day adorning, July 22.
I came in from Centreville last evening
for the express pttrpose of sending you
the latest intelligence of the great — battle
of yesterday. , I left Centreville at ,half
past five, and reached here at midnight.
I sent a dispatch to the office, but, as• it
is to be subjected to the censorship of the
Government, wide!' gives no hint of what
• it' refuses permission -to pass, I have no
means of knowing whether its contents
reached you or not. J;must, therefore,
its
repeat contents. ,
'' . T,he battle yesterday was one of the
most severe' and sanguinary ever, fought
on this continent3 - ftud it ended in:the fail
-ure of the Union s troops to -hold all the
positions which they sought to carry, and
' winch they actually did , carry, and in
. their retreat to Centreville, where they
• have made a sand, and where Gen. N.
liowell believes .that they are able to
maintain themselves. ,
As I telegraphed you yesterday, the
attack was made in three columns, two
of which, however, were. merely feints,
intended to =wand occupy the enemy,
while the substantial work was dolie by
:the third. It has been known for a long
time that the range of hills which border
the small, swampy stream known as Bull
Run had been thoroughly and extensively
fortified by the rebels—that batteries had
been, planted af - every available point,
usually concealed in the woods and-bushes
which abound in that vicinity, and cov
ering every way of approach to the region
beyond. These are .the advanced deFenc
es to Manassas Junction, which is some
three miles further off. Until.these were
-, carried, no approach could be made to that
place, and atter they should be carried,
others of a similar character would have
to be overcome at every point where they
could be erected.
- The utmost, that military skill and in
., genuity could accomplish for the defence
- Of this point was done. General McDow
elb was unwilling to .make an attack di
rectl ih the face of these batteries, as
' they would be of doubtful issue, and must
inevitably result in a very serious loss of
life. After an attack had been resolved
upon; therefore, he endeavored to find
some way of turnitig the position„ His
. first intention was to do this on-the south
ern side, to throw a strong column into
- the place from that - direction, while a
feigned attack' should be made:in front.
On Thursday, when the troops were ad
faneed to Centreville, it waa — foural that
the ro;tds on the south side Of.'these po
,sitions were almost impractie Ile, that
• I
•they were narrow, croolct ,-- '3, - a:d stony,
and 'that it would be alteost impossible
to bring up enough artillery to heefieetive
in' the time required. This orilginal plan
was, therefore, abandoned; add Frida y.
was devoted to du exareinati u by the
topographical engineers of fh northern
' side . of the position. Major 13- rnard and
1
Captain Whipple reconnoiteredthe place
-for miles around, and reparte that the
i t
Position . could be entered by a ath com
ing from the north, though it 'was some
what low , and circuitous. This was se
lected, trierefore, as the mode and point
Of attack. , • •
OuStiturday the troops were nil brought
elosely ; .up to Centreville, and ill needful
preparations were made for the attack,
which was iotended, for the next day.,
Yesterday morning; therefore, the army,
inarched.by two roads, Col. Richardson,
with Iris command, taking the Southern,
whiehleads to Bull Run, and Gen. Tyler
the Southern,-running parallel! to it at a,
distance of about a mile and a half: The
inovement •commeneed at ahout3 o'clock.
I got up at a little before four ' and found
the Fong line of troops extended far out
on either, road. J took.the road by which
Col. Hunter, with his command', and Gen.
MeDeviell and staff, had gone, aisd pushed 1
on'diredly for the front. After going
out-about two miles, Col. Hunter- turned
to the right, marching obliquely towards
the,Run, which
. he was to cross some fburi
• mile's, higher up, and then come dein
140 the' entrenched positiOns of Ilic,n
etny on ,the other side. Col. Miles Was
Jeft:at-Centreville and on the road VOili
-rOarves, which he was 'to bring up when
ever they might be needed. Gen. Tyler
went directly forward to
.engage the ene
payin front, and send - reinforcements to
Cot: Hunter wheneverit shoUld be seen
that he was engaged. .i,

I went. Out, as I. liave;falready stated,
vpop the Northern road. It is hilly, like
all' the surface 'of this section. After ao.
inedut•about three miles, you come to 'a
point down which the road, leadinc , tliro'
the forest, 'descends ; then it proceeds, by
alsaccession of rising and falling knolls,
fora quarter of a mile, when it crosses a
-stone 'bridge, and:then ascends bill steady I
ilope to the heights beyond. At the top,
Of that slope the rebels had planted heavy I
batteries, and the weeds below were-filled

At a little before eleven o'clock, the

into a' wood opposite, Wbieh they had

were met by a tremonclonS 'discharge of a

the Open field on its right, by which alone

and received orders •to retire. Captain

from Dianassa t s, and with' the glass, We
could very plainly perceive that they Were

of rdinforcernents which continued to ponr

of musketry, as he pushed the rebels back
from point to point. At 1 o'clock he had
driVon them out of the [woods, and across

that on which we stood. Here, by-!the,

stand. They planted their flag clireCtly

Ayes''-nuns were planted on a knell 'at

with a heavy battery, came down from
theidirettion of Bull Run, and engaged
thiS force with treniendbus effect. I went
to Centreville, sent off' ny dispatch, and
started 'with all speed to return, intending f
to'go with .otzr.troops upon what had been I

for a moment that it weuld remain in

Not.erOiting the story, whi,,li was ut
terly inconsistent with what Iliad seen
but 'a little while. before, I continued to
push on. ' I soon met Quarter niter Stet

I bursting into ',tears, that his re . ,iment had
been utterly cut to pieces, that the Co!,
and Lieutenant Colonel were both killed,
and that Our tro - opshadactnal y been re
pulsed. I still tried to pfoceyd, but the
t
advancing columns rendered it 'mpossible,
add I turned about. Leaving n y carriage,
I went to a high point of grow d, and sa*
by the dense cloud of dust whio rose over

each of the three roads, by which the
three colnmns of the army ha advanced,
that they were all on the retreat. Sharp
discharges of cannon in their rear indi
cating that they were being pursued. I
waited half an hour or so, to tbserve the
troops andfbatteries as they a i rived, and
.i
then started for Washington, o send my
dispatch and write this letter. As I came
past the hill! op which the s cesSionis - ts
had their entrenchments, less han a week
