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 by the ordeal through which the nation Is now pual,f.

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 at Laorel Rfll, (a uoaUnoaiton of Rteh Mo«aMta,) mdor P*m.M Om WUt aontaio, nd MB ooAor Beott ■!

Ha obeyed the order, so far as to proceed to tbe scene of ac tion, when be turned about and fled for two days and nights, until ha reached Monterey, in Highland county. This left the way open (o Beverly, where our baggage wegoos and pro visions wort stationed, wbieb McClellan pro ceeded to occupy forthwith. Moan while, 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 leave to-morrow for Manassas. Gen. Lee has not yet left the city. Your correspondent leaves to-night or to morrow morning for Manassas. ST, ) rviCE, v 3, 1861.
