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.

Wash i so ton, July 28.—Yesterday, the Sen ate hill to ioereese the milittrj establishment was returned from the Hooae. The Senate re futed to concur in the House amendments. A message was reoeived from the President; the Senate went into executive session, and af terwarda adjourned. In the Honse, Mr. Wright offered a resolu tion, that the reverses at Bull's Ron in no way impaired our ultimate success. It was laid on tKa table! Gen. McClellan has been ordered to the com mand of the federal forces on the Potomac. He is succeeded lu Western Virginia by Gen. Rose crane. The federal army will be Instantly reorganl zed and Increased. Gen. McDowell is at Head Quarters at Arling ton. His division have resumed their former position. A large amount of provisions, arms, Ac., were captured by the Confederates, who pursued the federmls and occupied the positions abandoned by the United States forces at Fairfax C. H. The Cavalry of the Confederates was after onr volunteers, who kept the woods to avoid their charges. Baltimore, July 28.—The 13th Regiment of New York Volunteers (three months) have re enlisted for three years. Gsn. Banks joins Gen. Patterson, who is at Harper’s Ferry (?) awaiting him. Great excitement here and the Southerners are overjoyed. Efforts of their friends are being made to quiet (heir delirious joy. It it said that a considerable military force will be required to keep them down. The likenesses of Gen. Beauregard are be ing sold on the streets. A heavy rain prevents the people congre gating to make demonstrations in honor of the Confed< rate victory. The defeat is attributed to the inactivity of Patterson, who, receiving a dozen official or ders at once, engaged Johnson at any odds. Thirty arrests have been made for attempt g to incite the people to revolt. The New York Herald’s special correspond ent says the defeat waa owing, in a great meas to Gen. Patterson; that the bravery of Gov. Sprague, of R. I., brought some degree of order out of chaos; but tb&t McDowell’s brave ry was unavailing at the first panic. The New York 71st, 14th, 27th, and the Maine Regiments were mown down like gross. The list of killed and wounded embraces a large number of officers. Col. Corcoran is thought to be dead.

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.

Our killed, wounded and missing ara twelve hundred—of these four hundred are killed. The enemy’s loss is very heavy. We captured thirty-four cannon, including Sherman’s battery and a long Par rot gun. Beauregard and Johnston were in command, and Beauregard’s horse’s head was shot off. President Davis reaohed the field as the enemy commenced to retreat. The train from Manassas due at 5 o’clock this afternoon, is not expected to arrive till near midnight. The telegraph to Manassas hss been out ot working order several hours, but is now work ing with an immense amount of business on hand and offering. It is impossible to obtain details of the kill ed and wounded yet. The battle ground ex tended over a space of about ten miles. No detailed reports hevo been received. We took eight hundred prisoners. Hampton’s Legion, the Fourth Alabama, aud the Sixth North Carolina Regiments are se verely cut up. We lost many officers.
