We toko tllo following extracts from
n letter from P. W. A. to tho Savannah
Republican, written the Plains of Man'
nssas, under date of Aug. 31st:
I did not arrive in timo to witness
tho bailie of Friday, tho 29lii. heav
ing Gordonsville, on that day, on a
freight train, 1 reached Hapidnn Sta
tion, tho presout terminus of tho rail,
road, at noon. Thcro I took horse anil
struck for tho Rappahannock, reached
Warren ton at one o’clock yesterday,
and then look tho turn piko for tho
battle hold, fourteen milos distant, and
arrivod in lime to witness tho triumph
of tho Confederate arms for the second
tlmo on tiieso plains.
I cannot uudortako to giro tho num
ber of men engaged on cither side. It
is not probable, however, that the ene
my had moro than 75,000 men on tho
tield. Our own forces wore considera
bly less, u large part of the unny not
having arrived in time to participate in
tho fight. Longslrcot’s corps U’armce
hold tho right, A. P. Mill’s and Ander
son’s (late Lfugcr’s) divisions tho ccntro
and Jackson’s voterans flio left. Jack-
son was tho first to reach the plains bo
low tho Uluo ltidgo; llill came next
and then I.ongstroot, who entered at
Thoroughfaro Gap. Tho enemy occu
pied tho Gap will: a full division, and
scorned disposed (o dispute tho passage
of our troops; but Toombs’ and Anilor
son’s Georgia brigades, which led the
corps, made a bold dash, and soon
drove the enemy away with but little
loss. Tins was on Thursday tho 28tli.
Jackson had brought tho onemy to bay
between Gainsvillo and Grovcton, two
milos from Ike old battlo hold, on the
Wnrrcnton turnpike. Knowing this,
Longstrcot pressed forward, and suc
ceeded in getting into position on the
right of turnpiko, in timo to hold that
part of our lines while Jackson engaged
the enemy on tho left.
It should have been stated that Long
slroot played tho enemy a clover trick
before lio left tho south bank of tho
Rappahannock. . Jackson and Hill
having movod avound by Sporryvillo
above, he made feints at several fords
on tho Rappahannock os if ho would
cross over, and thus drew tho attention
of tho enemy to thoso points, whilst ho
put his forces in motion and marched
rapidly to tho northward and avound to
Gainsvillo. Bo successful was tho man
oeuvre that a lato northern paper, now
before mo, congratulates its readers up
on tho brilliant victory achieved by tho
Fedorals in driving us away from the
fords.
The onemy advanced to the attack
on Fyiday. He was probably aware of
of Jackson’s comparative weakness.—
Ho soon discovered that a heavy Con
federate column (Longstrcet’s) had got
into position on tho right, and immedi
ately commenced a retrograde move
ment. Tho battle, which was hotly
contested for a time, in which the artil
lory took a prominent part, continued
through tho afternoon, and resulted in
tho repulso of tho enemy along the en
tire line. Jackson’s forces were chiefly
engaged, and behaved with their usua 1
gallantry. Tlio sceno of the conflict
was just in front of Gainsvillo and on
the left of tho Warrenton turnpike ns
you look towards Washington.
The enemy wore driven back to tho
edges of tho old battle Hold of Manas
sas. The Confederates slept upon tho
field, and tHoro - awaited a renewal of
the attack Jon yesterday. They wore
not disappointed, for tho enemy again
advanced against our left at 2 o’ clock
P.JJI,, and engaged Jackson fust. By
tlireo tho engagement became general,
and the battle was jointed. Gon
Lee was in command, having como to
the front somo days ago. ..But a word
of explanation in regard to the field
and the position of the combatants.
Tho Warrenton and Alexandria
Turnpiko runs nearly eastward, and
tho road from Sudley ford and Bull
Run to Manassas Junction north and
south. These highways intersect each
other in the centre of the old battlo
gronnd. Advancing down the turn
pike, our forces faced to tlio cast in tho
direction of Washington, while the
enemy faced to tho west, but not exact
ly towards Richmond. Tho lino of
battle, about three milos in length, ox
tended across the turnpiko almost at
rigbtjangles and nearly parallel with
nndjnst west of Sudley road. Tho
battle of Manass was to bo fought over,
and tho“pomt to bo decided was, wheth
er wo should advance upon Washing
ton orthe enemy upon Richmond.—
This was the issue, and this tho battlo
ground.
We learn from ’prisoners that Il-al-
Jcck, McClellan and Pope were" pres
ent. McClellan had brought up his
old.United States Regulars, eighteen
regiments, under Fits John Portor,
H^nUluifui’s,division,-and other corps’
of his James river army. It was evi
dent that tlie onemv. wore confident of
viotory. 'I liny were aware move than
half our army had chine up; and by
precipitating the battle, they honed to
avenge their shameful defeat on tlio
same ground a littlo more than one ago.
'.-I'—r"'
Indeed, w'o hoar, that McDowell, tho
most Civilised officer in tho Federal
service and tho commander at Manas
sas last year, mado an urgent appeal to
his troops to jvipo out tho disgraco
which then bofcll their arms, and nev
er to loavo tho field but os conquerors.
As I have already stated, tlio onemy
opened the tinttlo by an attack upon,
our left. A heavy column, with a full
complement of artillery, was launched
against Jackson’s voterans, but thoro,
elsewhere, they encountered a
"Stonowall” ns iinniovnblo ns tlio Blue
Ridge. Tlio onslaught would liavo
been fearful to any other but Confede
rate troops struggling for tlio dearest
rights known to man. Tho attack was
repulsed, howover, and tho enemy
foroe to retreat.
In the meanwhilo o heavy force was
moved up against A. P. Hill and An
derson in tho eentyo, r id Longstrcet’s
splendid corps on tlio right-. Tho at
tnck upon the ccntro was not charac
terized by much vigor, but 011 tlio right
it was mado by McCloIlan’s Regulars,
and was furious. Aftor tlio first move
ment against tho left was ropulsed,
Jackson found but littlo difficulty in
advancing his lines.
Tlio infantry wove very reluctant to
engage tho stern chieftain ngain, and
tlioir artillery alono resisted him with
spirit. But on tho right tlio conflict
raged with groat violonco for moro than
an hour boforo wo had mado any im
pression upon tho serried ranks of tho
regulars. When tlioy did yield, it was
slowly and in porfoct order. It could
hardly bo called a retreat; wo pushed
them, ns It wero from ono elevation to
another, gradally following thorn up
and firmly holding tlio ground thoy
lmd been forced to abandon.
In this way tho contest continued
until near sunset, tlio rotrogadojmove-
S ont of tho oxoniy growing more rnp-
nnd less orderly as tho battlo pro
coctled. Jackson prossod forward vig
orously on tho left; Hill and Anderson
did tlio sarno in tlio ccntro; and ns tho
foe rotirod faster in that part of tlio
Hold than on tho right, our lino finally
assumod somewhat the form of a ores
cent.
Jackson at longtli bent his lino
around to.tlio Sudley road,'near the
oliurch of that'name, and nbout tho
same time tlio ccntro and right reach-
od tlio old battlo ground. Thon fol
lowed as splondid fighting on tho part
of the Confederates ns tho world * ever
saw. As tho .fact broke upon them
that thoy again stood upon that glori
ous field, and that tlio enemy sought a
renewal of tlio decision rondored there
ono year ngo, tlioy swept on ns if
thoy were borne onward by tlio fiat of
fate. Tho oyo grew brighter, tho
arm waxed stronger, and catching tlio
inspiration of the place, and of tlio
children of glory who sleep upon, its
hills, they sent up -shout after shout,
that rose high above the mighty din
and uproar, and sounded in tlio car
of tho already retreating foe lilco a
sentence of judgement.
About the same time Gon Toombs,
who had been absent under orders,
reached tlio field at tlio top of his
horso’s speed. His appearance was
greeted with tho clieors ot ten thous
and Georgians in Longstrcol’s corps.—
Tho shouts wove caught up along the
valloy and over the hills as • his splon
did form swept across tlio field in tlio
direction of his brigade. Ho found it
at length, and led it immediately for
ward in tlio .thickest of tho fight.—
Dashing doivii tho hill not far from
whore Bee and Bartow fell, ho got in
forty paces of a Federal brigade, which
saluted him and his men with a terrific
fire. Tho men called to him to dis
mount, as otherwise I10 would certainly
bo killed. His only reply, uttered in
trumpet tones, was: “President Davis
can create generals; God only makes
tlio soldier- ON 1“
Finally our entiro lino crossed tlio
Sudley road, swept past tlio stone liouso
at tlio intersection of tlio roads, tlio
Ilcnry and Lewis houses on the right,
on towards Bull Run. But tlio onemy
managed his artillery with great skill
and ^judgment. His firing was superb,-
and 1 must admit, superior to our own.
His batteries were posted at cemmand-
ing points, and enabled liim to cover
tlio retreat ot his infantry by delaying
our ndvanco. Night, to®, camo to his
rescue, and to Nuturo and not his own
arms, was ho indebted for liis escape
from utter destruction. Tho pursuit
was kept up until darkness prevented
further effort, and the order to halt
was given.
Tho enemy escaped across Bull Run
during the night, and morning found
him iu a hurried retreat, for the second
time over tho snmo road and from tlio
same battlo field, back to .Washing
ton, 4 ?!

Around our capital they gathered their

'To this signal success accorded to our
