morrow, (Wednesday.)
How their Predictions have been Verified,
We all know what loud boasts worn made
by tho Yankee Govornmant and its hangers on,
of tha inviocible prowess of the Yankee army;
how 9oott and ail his army eurs, of high and
low degree, paraded before tho world the
with which Riehmond would bo captured, tha
rebel Congress dispersed, and Jeff Davis rsesivo
a traitor*! doom, whenever tho advance move
ment of the grand army should ba made.
But in order that tha minds of our readers
may b« refreshed on this subject, we make tho
following extracts from the Washington cor
respondence of the Now York Herald, of the
5th July, which ia a fair aample of all that
kiod of staff—only remarking that this grand
advance movement baa been in active prepa
ration for a considerable time. Old Scott en
deavored to accomplish it by a stratagem—the
rapid concentration of Patterson and McDow
ell’s forces, with which to overwhelm Beaure
gard. He did not know who he was dealing
with:
The entire force composing this advance move
ment will be the largest nud most formidable
ever witnessed in this country, numbering, os It
will, upwards of forty thousand picked men.
formed Into brigades of four thousand each, and
officered by the ablest and most accomplished
men In the regular service. The spectacle will
be one of the grandest the world ever suw. No
enemy can stand long before such an army.
Five thousand men are to be moved to the
Virginia side of the river to-night.
The corps ifnivnce under Gen. McDowell is to
consist ot forty thousand men, divided into four
divisions of ten thousand men each—the first
nnder Geu. Tyler, the second under Col. lieint-
Mlemao, and the third under Col Hunter. The
fourth is to form a reserve. Each division will
be composed of two brigades of four regiments,
and cavalry and artillery sufficient to constitute
the complement of ten thousand men.
The general movement is to occur early in
the coming week, but the precise tiuio will, of
course, be made to correspond with the move
ments of the divisions of Generals McClellan
and Patterson.
An officer of the army states that oar men arc
in high glee at the prospect of an engagement
with the rebels. That they will overwhelm and
rout Gen. Johnston and his rebel forces, is con
sidered certain; but the general impression was
that there would be no fight, as the rebels would
not stand tlielr ground, but would fall back
upon Winchester, and from thence to Manassas
Junction and Richmond.
I have Just seen an officer ia command of one
of the advancing brigades across the Potomac,
who repeats the frequent statement, that every
thing is riearlv in readiness for an advance. More
regiments will leave to-night for Virginia.
WUBN WILL TUB HBHKLH MAKE A STAND ?
Our advance thus far finds no onemy. The
Opinion is begioing to prevail, that the rebels
are prepering to fall back on Richmond, and
the talk now is that the great fight is not to be
made before Washington; that they give
Washington np, generous rebels; that they
will make their grand stand at Richmond, and
if thay find they cannot stand there, they will
fall back on Norfbik, and execute a dying ef
fort .
If tbia is their programme, they can rest as
sured that, before it isearried out, all the pub
lic property stolen from the Government in
and about Charleston, will be retaken ; and as
the Government has no particular use for
Charleston, and as it has always boon a sore
on theoontinent, the city will be cleaned out,
and the harbor made useless. Pensaoola will
be in possession of the Government soon, if it
is not already.
The Gallant Dead.
All hearts are overflowing with rejoic
ing, and gratitude to Gcd for for the brilliant
and effective victory of our army at Manassas.
God has most signally favored us, and vindi
cated our cruse in the eyee of the world.
But our joy Is not unmixed. Many brave
spirits bavs fallen in securing this triumph.--
Their noble heroism—their willing sacrifice of
their lives npon their country’s eltar, in de
fence of our liberty, is worthy of being sung
by angels, and commemorated eternally in
Heavenly strains upon golden harps, touched
by a Seraph’s hand. Tbey loved their oountry,
their firesides, and our national honor, far bet
ter than life, and in defence of them hare free
ly poured out their heart’s blood. The objeot
was worthy of the sacrifice—though it were
ten thousand times greater; and It is one from
which no patriot, from love of life, will ever
shrink.
Bat they are gone from os to return no more
They bnve left a blank which earth can never
All. Thousands of hearts are bereaved aid
desolate, and to which oomfort ean only come,
when death kindly relieves them of the sor
rows of lifs, snd transplants thsm to s dims
where tronblee will come no more, and where
all sorrows are healed.
To those who are bereaved and heart strick
en, we tender our condolence and sympathy—
’tit all we have to give. These bereavements
must come and blood moat flow. Blood is the
price of every great benefit that mankind ever
received; even the salvation of onr souls is the
price of the precious blood of the ftou ef God.
The* thoee whose dear ones have fallen in
battle, do not monm as others mourn; for tho’
bereaved, their loved ones have filed In the no
blest and most sacred cause that mortals over
were epfiagsd In.

From our second edition of yesterday.
Louisville, July 22.—The following news of
the Confederate victory creates the most in
tense excitement here, startling the public
mind. The morning papers having published
dispatches from Washington claiming a bril
liant victory for the Confederates, there is
great rejoieing among the Southern Rights
men :
“ Wasuimotom, Monday noon.—Our troops,
after gaining a great victory, were eventually
repulsed, and commenced a retreat on Wash
ington. After the latest information from Cen
terville last night, a series of events took place
in the highest degree disastrous. Many con
fused statements are prevalent, but enough is
known to warrant the statement that we have
suffered to a degree wbioh casts gloom over
the remnant of our army, and excites the
deepest melancholy throughout Washington.
The carnage was tremendously heavy on both
•ides, and ours is represented as frightful.
“ We were advancing, taking masked batte
ries, and gradually but surely driving the en
emy towards Manassas, when tbey seemed to
he reinforced by Gen. Johnston. We were im
mediately driven back, and a panic among
our troops suddenly occurred, a regular stam
pede took place.
"It is understood that Gen. McDowell un
dertook to stand near Centerville, but the pan
ic waa so fearful, that the whole army became
demoralized. It was impossible to check them
either at Centerville or Fairfax Court House.
Large numbers of troops in retreat fell on the
wayside from exhaustation, and were scatter
ed along the route. All the way from Fairfax
Court House to Bull’s Run was strewed with
arms and knapsacks which had been discar
ded by the troops to better facilitate their re
treat Gen. McDowell was in the rear of the
retreat, endeavoring to rally his men with on
ly partial success.
"Only two hundred of the Fire Zouaves were
left from the slaughter! The Sixty-ninth and
other New York Regiments suffered frightful
ly. Sherman’s, Carlisle’s Griffin's, and the West
Point Batteries were taken by the Confeder
ates ! also the eight seige 32-pounder rifled
cannon!!!
"Col. Wilcox commanded the Brigade.
" Capt. McCook was killed ; Col. Heintzle-
iitan was wounded.
" Washington presents a scene of the most
intense excitement. Wagons are continually
comiDg in, bringing the dead and wounded.—
The feeling ia the city is awfully distressing.
" Both telegraph and steamboat communica
tion with Alexandria has been suspended to
the publio. The greatest alarm prevails
throughout the city, and fortifications are
strongly reinforced with fresh troops.
"It is supposed that Gen. Mansfield will take
command of the fortifications on the other side
of the river, largo rifled cannon and mortars
being rapidly sent over.”
Richmond, July 22.—President Davis sends
an official dispatch to the Secretary of War
announcing the complete and decisive victory
of yesterday, near Manassas. The enemy, af
ter a ten hours’ battle, fled precipitately in the
direction of Leesburg and Centerville, and
were pursued by our Cavalry and Light Infan
try till night put an end to the pursuit.
The enemy left on the field largo quantities
ot stores, munitions, arms and vast piles of
the slain. Everywhere in the direction of
flight, dead bodies and the wounded were scat
tered. The neighboring farm-houses on tha
road were crowded with the wounded enemy.
The Confederate force immediately engaged
was fifteen thousand. The Fsderals are esti
mated at thirty-five thousand. This refers to
the left wing, where the battle principally ra-
ged.and don’t include the right and the centra,
which were only partially engaged. The entire
Confederate foroe was about forty thousand,
and Federuls nearly eighty thousand.
The ensrny loat several batteries of field ar
tillery and one Regimental stand of Colors.
No particulars at one o’clock this afternoon
of tha dead and wounded on either aide.
Ricrmomd, July 22.—Congress mat at noon
and opened with prayer.
The following dispated, dated at Manassas,
Sunday night, was read by tha Clark:
To Gen. 8. Cooper, Adjutant-General—
Night has closed upon a hard fought field,
and our forces have won a glorious victory.—
The enemy was routed and fled precipitately,!
abandoning a vary large amount of aims, mu
nitions, knapsacks and baggage. Tha ground
was strown for miles with those killed, and
the farm-houses and grounds around are filled
with tha enemy’s wounded.
The'pursuit waa oontinued along ceveral
routes towards Leesburg and Centerville un
til darkness covered tha fugitives. Wa have
captured several batteries and one Regimental
•tend of colors end one United States flag.—
Many prisoners have been taken.
Too much praise cannot ba bestowed upon
our forces, whether for tha shill of tha princi
pal officers or for the^gallantry of all the troops.
The battle waa mainly fought onr left, sev
eral milea from oar field works. Oar foroe en
gaged did not exeeed fifteen thousand, while
the! of the enemy is estimated et thirty-five
thousand.

Manassas, July 21,—The enemy, with thir
ty five thousand, attempted, to turn our left
flank at 11 o’clock today. We opposed him

ously until 4 o'clock, when the enemy, after
several repulses, were forced book end finally
retreated to Centrevflle. Our killed, wounded
and missing ara twelve hundred—of these
four hundred are killed. The enemy’s loss is

We took eight hundred prisoners.
Hampton’s Legion, the Fourth Alabama, aud
the Sixth North Carolina Regiments are se

The Seventh and Eighth Georgia Regiments

Bartow was killed while leading a desperate
