Friends and Fellow Citizene: Friends of pub-
lie liberty nod fellow oitisons of tho United
suits, 1 thank you for this manifestation of
yoat kindness, i thank you all (he more he
oause you do not mean to honor myself, hut
that oountry ws all lose so well. This morn
ing’s son ushered in (be anaWersary of (be
republic, and for the first time hi lit history
it shone upon our brethren arrayed in deadly
strife. Why is this so? 1 answer because
ambition and madness hsve usurped the place
of reason, aud continued prosperity has caus
ed loo msoy to forget the obligations they
ova to that God who has lavished upon them
so many blessings. They bare sought to im
peril our national existeuce, and you and 1,
and all of ns, are now witnessing the struggle
which Is to decide the power of the people to
preserve the most wiss and beneficent Gov
ernment in the world. Shell it be preserved?
[Criee of “ Yes, yes.”] It will be preserved
—1 know it will. This morning, when I sew
tboussuds sod tens of thousands of our vol
unteer soldiery marching through the wide
avenues which lead to the Cspitol, eager to
salute the flag which ao proudly floats from
its summit, and all anxious to preserve tbs
Union of the States—when I saw thsso citi
zen soldiers, and remembered that they were
but the advance grand army of tho people—
the loyal millions—I felt, I knew, that ere
long every rebellions flag would go down, and
that treason would meet its deserved and cer
tain doom. Even now, so impatient are the
loyal millions who love our oountry for its
blessings, that everywhere tho cry is “For
ward, forward, to the earap of treason.” * *
Within sixty days s quarter of a million of
the fluent soldier* in tho world have rallied to
the standard of tbs wholo oountry, and a mil
lion more are impatient to plant the gorgeous
ensign of the republio upon the mountains
and bill tops of every State wherein treason
has an apologist or a defender. Sirs, disun
ion aud oivil war oannot endure, originating
in tho baser passions of tho worst portion of
mankind without so much as a decent pretext.
The advocates and originators have nothing
to Inspire that faith so necessary to success.
* * * I call them my misguided country-
ineu— they, (be rank and flic, those who have
been duped and driven to rally under the flag
of treason have my*oommiseratioD. Ewt for
the instigators and leaders of this most unho
ly crusade against the couutry—this crime
against mankind—l have no words of pallia
tion. Publio juslioe is certain, and they must
atone in this life for the wrougs they aro per
petrating upon humanity and the world. *
* * * My oountrymen, the time for ar
gument aud entreaty has gone by. Our ene-
emits, without aggression, have drawn the
sword. The hands of treason have stained it
with the blood of our loyal oountrymen. If
needs be, if they will have it so, let traitors
perish, and that speedily, by tbs sword.—
[Great applause ] As I said before, I have
faith in the right. I will not believe that trea
son can prevail over loyalty, anarchy over
order. 1 am therefore on the side of tbs de
fenders of lbs Constitution, the friends of the
Union and the supporters of lbs law. [Great
cheering.]
A grand military parade of 20,000 New
York troops in a column passed up Pennsyl
vania Auenuc. A stard had boen erected on
the aidewslk in front of the President’s house,
and was occupied by Lineoln and his Cabinet,
General Gcott aud several other Generals and
Majors. Tbs grand cavalcade halted in front
of this stand, when his Apeship addressed
them as follows:
Fellow Citizens : l trust you will not blame
me to-day for standing in front. It is a sort
of rule that constrains me to do so. I know
that a sight of your noble and gallant and
revered General Scott would be more gratify
ing to you than a speech form me. I take
grett pleasure, therefore, in Introducing that
distinguished gentleman to you.
Now, wasn’t that edifying ? but—
General Scott then came forward, when he
was oheered with the most deafening applause.
The old General, the bulwark of the nation on
this threatened time of demolition, bowed bis
acknowledgements to the enthusiastic people
below him, and his eyes met the upturned
gsso of the vast crowd and marked tho fervor
of their feelings in eyes that gleamed with
grateful emotion, and on shouts that proclaim
ed a people's (hanks for pesoo preserved and
a Union saved. Ho must have felt rewarded
for the great services be has and is still ran
dering to the oountry. Cheer after cheer fol
lowed, and it wee only when the aged obief
tain bowed and retired among his frisnds,
leaving the front of the platform clear, theta
partial calm was restored.
Seward made a speech and aaid:
Fellow Citizens: Counting eeventy-eix and
sixty-one, this mates tbs eighty-sixth time
that the Fourth of July has found the people
from the 8t. Lawrence to the Gulf, and from
the Atlenlio far away to the Pacifto Ocean,
one whole and united people. [Applause ]—
We would have shown by our ballots that we
intended (hero should be a thousand and more
aueh Fourths of July. [Applause.] But since
that has not proved seilsfeotorv, an appeal
has been taken to the ballets, and the' bullets
mast decide new the destiny of the country,
God Is on tho side of liberty, nnd tho glorious
destiny of the continent shell not be retarded

Ricbmoud, July 17th, 1861.
1 regret to state that we aro still without dell
nite and reliable news from Gen. Garnett’s com
mand. I have called at the War office, the Tel
egraph ofllcc, and at thoj various newspaper
UbllaUmenU and hotels, with the hope of hear
ing something that would allay the great anxie
ty that must be felt in Georgia in relation to
CoL Ramsey’s regiment; but nowhere have I
been able to obtain anything definite. It la be
lieved here however, that the regiment is safe,
and that it haa suffered no each casualties as
as those reported by the Northern telegraph cor
respondents. Indeed, U is the general impreaslou
iu well Informed circles, that the disaster to our
arms beyond the mountains has becu exaggerated
on both sides, and that our loss has not been as
great as first reported. It is known that CoL
Pegram was neither killed, wounded nor cap
tured; and yet he was reported on both
sides to have met with each of these misfor
tunes. I have seen an extract of a letter dated
the 13th two days after bis engagement, In which
he la described as well and safe. There are
some who even believe that Gon. Garnett was
not killed. Unfortunately however, the proof
is too conclusive to admit of much doubt.
The latest advices say, that our forces were re
tiring in good order, udder CoL Ramsey, the se
nior officer in command, and that they would
reach Monterey in Highland county to-morrow.
At that point he would be superseded by Brig.
Gen. Henry R. Jackson of Georgia, who left
Richmond some days since for Gen. Garnett
Camp. With Gen. Jackson there are three reg
iments, which were m route for the same desti
nation—to-wit, Col. Johnson’s regiment from
Georgia, one from Virginia, and one from North
Carolina. It is believed that Gen. Lee will pro
ceed to Monterey to-morrow morning, and
sume the command of the forces in that direc
tion.
It is said that our forces were divided into
three sections. The largest of these sections
was under Gen. Garnett, in an entrenched camp,
some fourteen miles from Rich Mountain and
nearest to the enemy. Another division of 800
was under CoL 8cott, on the road leading from
Beverly to Staunton ; while CoL Pcgraro, will:
some 1500 occupied a position on Rich Moun
tain in front of Beverly. The report is, tliat Mc
Clellan deceived Garnett and made a night march
down to Rich Mountain, where he engaged Col.
Pegram—with what result you are already in
formed. Scott, for some reason not yet known,
after marching to Pegnun’s relief and arriving
too late, retreated down the 8taunton road to
Monterey where he now is. (This is the Vir
ginia regiment, spoken of above as being at that
place with Gen. Jackson.) CoL Pegram aud
most of his men had joined CoL Scott’s division
before it arrived at Monterey.
Under these circumstances, with his retreat
by .the Staunton road^cut off andthe mountains in
bis rear, Gen. Garnett had but two alternatives
left him. One way to give battle with .3,000 men
to an army of 30,000. The other was to retreat
by an upper pass across tho mountains into
Hardy county, and thence down the valley be
tween some of the parallcd chains of the moun
tains through Pendleton county to Monterey.—
He attempted the latter; and it was during this
retreat that he was killed. It Is supposed that
he took command in person, of the rear of his
forces, that being the post of honor on a retreat,
and that Col. Ramsey, the next in rank, led the
column. The retreat must have been conduct
ed with great skill, os tne pursuers found no
opportunity to nee their small arms, so well M as
our rear guarded. The last report is, that only
30 Confederates were killed during the retreat,
among whom was Gen, Garnett himself. It is
possible that some of the Companies iu Ram
sey’s regiment may have been selected by Gar
nett to bring np the rear rank owing to their
akill and experience acquired at Pensacola.—
McClellan divided hia forces on the pursuit in
to three eolums, hoping to outflank our Htttlc
bund, which they did twice ; but still our men
moved on, turning ever and anon, like a lion
at boy, and beating bock tbe pursuers. It mutt
have been a weary and painful march to oar
brave brothers. How it was expected that so
small a force could hold four times their num
ber In check, la not known.
Tbe effect of this affair in North-Western
Virginia will be unfortunate. It will encour
age the Tories, to whose services upon the
field and as spies, Gtn. McClellan is indebted
for no small part of his success, and will have
a tendency to protract and embitter the con
test in the disaffected counties. Its effect at
the North will be equally pernicious. Tht
sensation papers in New York will magnify it
into the huge proportions of a grant battle, in
whioh the “rebels” were routed and driven
back with great slaughter across the moun
tains and out of Western Virginia. Our re-
greta will be diminished, however, if the dis
aster shall but open the eyee of our own peo
ple to the now established fact, that we are
entering upon a greet war, and have a stu
pendous work to perform. The Federal Con-
grees is granting their President everything he
has asked for, both of men and money, and a
combined movement towards this place is ex
pected in a few days. Let our people, then,
•train avary nerve, and put forth every energy,
and contribute every dollar they can. If they
oan’t get the latest pattern ef arms, let them
brieg out their double-barreled shot gune—a
formidable weapon when properly loaded with
buckshot—and their old-fashioned rifles, which
can be made most effective instruments by
changing the moulds and neing the minis bell.

Rit'iUfOM), July 19, 1801.
1 sent you a telegram last night, announc
ing an engagement at Bull’s Run yesterday,
between Gen. McDowell’s Fedsral column, and
a portion of Gen. Beauregard’s forces. Bull’s
Run is a email creek about throe miles and a
half beyond Manssiss Junction, on the road
to Fairfax Court House and Alexandria. Mc
Dowell had advanced on Fairfax on Wednes
day, where Gen. Bonham was stationsd with
our advance forces The latter retired on the
appearance of the enemy ia force, after slight
skirmishing, and fell bsck upon Bull’s Run, a
distauco of ten miles. This was doubtless sc
cording to previous understanding. MoDow
ell’s oolutnn slept at Fairfax, and poshed oil
early yesterday morning to Bull’s Run, where
be found our forces strongly entrenched, and
ready to receive him.
But few details have reached ns of the bat
tle. Tbe railway and telegraphic line hence
to Manassas have been surrendered up exclu
eively to tho Government for the past few days,
and it is only now and then that we can get
anything through. It is known, however,
from official sources, that the battle continued
some hours, aud that it raged hottest about 4,
P. M. At 9 o’clock, the enemy being repulsed
at ail points, Gen. McDowell ordered a retreat,
which was executed with alacrity, though not
without confuaioo. Geu. Beauregard did not
pursue them.
I canuot speak definitely of the numbers
gaged. It is believed that McDowell marched
out of Alexandria with 45,000 men, though
one account says he did not have more than
fourth of that number in the action. We had
■till less—the engagement not keiug so gener
al as was supposed here at the date of my tel
egram.. An official dispatch announces our
loss, in killed, wounded and missing, to be 60,
and tbe loss of the enemy to be 500. What
particular regiments and batteries were eu
gaged, I am unable to inform you, except up
on rumor, which assigns a prominent part to
some of the 8outh Carolina and Virgiuia reg
imente, and to the Louisiana battalion of ar
tillery, commanded by Msj. Walton. The de
tails will probably reach here to-night, but too
late for this letter.
Up to noon to-day, nothing bad been seen or
heard of tbe enemy. It is presumed that he
retired to Fairfax, though not to Alexandria.
According to a telegram just received, 700) ax
es bave been sent over from Washington, for
the purpose, it is supposed, of cutting out new
roads, and thus avoiding the batteries and
breastworks which Beauregard has erected
•long the turnpikes.
Gen. Bcolt came over to Alexandria on Tues
day, and it is believed that be was there, or at
Fairfax, during the engagement, and commu
nicating, by afield wire, with his advance col
umn.
The effect of the news in Richmond is in
describable. Tbe disastrous intelligence from
Gen. Garnett’s division, the knowledge that a
heavy column was in motion towards Manas
sas, and probably towards Winchester, thesur-
render of the railroad and telegraph te the
war office, and the numberless vague and dis
agreeable rumors flitting about tbe street cor
ners, like birds of evil omen, had all conspir
ed to render the publio exceedingly nervous
and anxious, if not despondent. But when the
good news came, it spread over the city with
the rapidity of lightning, and soon found its
way into every household. Long faces became
round and radiant; sombre aspects disappear
ed in smiles and tears ; and wherever one went,
along the street, into the hotels, or private
houses, there he found happy groups, discuss
ing the news and asking God’s blessing upon
little Beanry” and our brave brothers at
Manassas. Who shall say how many prayers
went up from grateful hearts, in the still hours
of last night, for the victory which the Lord
hae given us I
I hsve just seen a dispatch from a reliable
sou roe, dated at Manaesaa, i o’clock this after
noon, which says the loee yesterday waa 142,
in killed, wounded and missiog, and that tha
enemy’s loss, in kilted alone waa Gon.
MeDowell bad sent in a flag of truce, asking
permission to bury hia dead, which was grant
ed, of course. H was thought that a grand
battte would be fought to-morrow, in which all
the forces on both sides would be engaged.—
The battle yesterday, aooordiog to this dispatch,
waa fought thiefiy ia the woods.
Tho disaster which befd our arms last week,
at BUh Mountain, te near pretty generally ta-
oribed lo the tmonkery of resident traitors and
bad generalship. Onr forces, instead of being
massed together in one eompect column, were
divided into three seeUons-3,5M under Gar

nett hearing of tba disaster to Pegram, started
back to Beverly, but, hearing the enemy had
already preceded him, and tbns cot off hit re
treat by the road to Montery and Staunton,
which BcoU had taken, be determined to re
tire by a circuitous route through Tucker, Har
dy sod Pendleton counties. The enemy push
ed him, and it was at Cbsat river where, as at
other places, he had driven back hie pursuers,
that he was killed by the last round cf the
enemy. McClellan saya tbe retreat was con
ducted with great skill. Tbe pursuit cessed
at Cheat river. Col. Ramsey, of Georgia, sue
ceeded to the command.
These facta are derived from an intelligent
Virginian, who w»e present. He speaks of
Ramsey’s Regiment in the highest terms, and
■ays they were worth all tbe troops be taw.—
During one of tbe skirmishes at Laurel Hill,
he says, Garnett ordered 500 Georgians out to
repel the enemy, which they obeyed by firing
their guns and then rushing upon their adver
saries with their bayonets, and driving them
belter skelter down the mountain. Garnett
threw up his cap, and said the charge was
worthy of the best veterans.
Col. Starke, an aid of Gen. Garnett, says the
Georgians fought as if they bore charmed
lives and believed it impossible to be hit.—
They would rush into the very face of the
enemy with tbe greatest impetuosity, and
chase them until they were ordered to stop.
Great doubt prevails here still in regard to
the Georgia Companies aaid to have been cap
tured. My Virginian informant does not be
lieve the report. There seems, however, to be
nodonbtof its truth at the War Office, though
ail are at a loss to tell how, when or where it
occurred. It ia possible they were detached
upon some service during tbe retreat, and that
owing to the constant skirmishing that was
going on and the ooofusion necessarily pre
vailing, when the march waa resumed, they
were forgotten until it was too late. The Com
panies said to have been captured, are, the
Quitman Guards, Captain Pinkard, of Monroe
county; tbe Walker Light Infantry, Captain
Crump, of Augusts; the Bainbridge Inde
pendents, Captain Evans, and Captain Wil
kins’ Company, of Columbus.
I learn at the War Department, that but
few of our men were killed in any of the en
gagements, and that ail the prisoners will be
released upon their parole not to take up arms
again during the war.
The following Georgia Companies now here,
havo been organized into a battalion under
Major J. T. Mercer, of Terrel county, towit:
8harps Guards, Captain Cumming; Southern
Guards, Captain Jones; Border Rangers, Cap
tain Shorter; Jefferson Guards, Captain Gam
ble; Whitesville Guards, Captain Norwood,
and Toombs Rangers, Captain Waddell. They
