Manassas, July 22, 1841. J
Yesterday, iko list day of July, 1841, agreat
battU was fought and a great victory won by
by the Confederate troops. Hearts smiled on
our arms, and the God of battles crowned our
banners with laurels of glory. Let erery pa
triotic heart giro thanks to the Lord of Hosts
for the rictory He has giren His people on His
own holy day, the blessed Sabbath.
Gen. Johnston had arrired the preceding
day with about half of the force he had, de
tailed from Winchester, and was the senior of-
ficer in command. He magnanimously insisted,
howerer, that Gen. Beauregard’s prerious plan
should be carried out, and he was guided en-
tirely by the judgment and' superior local
knowledge of the later. While, therefore, Gen.
Johnston was nominally in oommand, Beaure
gard was really the offioer and hero of the day.
You will be glad to learn that he was this day
advanced from a Brigadier to the rank of a
futl General. But to the battle.
At half past six in the morning, the enemy
opened fire from a battery planted on a hill
beyond Bull’s Run, and nearly opposite the
center of our lines. The battery was intended
meroly to " beat the bush," and to occupy our
attention, while he moved a heavy oolumn to
wards the Stone Bridge, over the same creek,
upon our left. At 10 o’clock, another battery
was pushed forward, and opened fire a short
distance to the left of the other, and near the
road leading North to Centreville. This was a
battery of rifled guns, aud the object of itefire
was the same as that of the other. They fired
promiscuously into the woods and gorges on
this, the Southern, side of Bull’s Run, seeking
to create the impression thereby that our oen-
tre would be attacked, and thus prevent us
from sending reinforcements to our left, where
the real attack was to be made. Beauregard
was not deceived by the msumuvre.
It might not be amiss to ssy, that Bull’s Run*
or creek, is North of this place, und runs near
ly due east, slightly curving around the Junc
tion, the nearest part of which is about Ji
miles. Tbe Stone Bridge is some seven miles
distant, in a north-westerly direction, upon
which our left wing rested. Mitchel’s ford is
directly North, and distant four miles, by the
road leading to Centreville, which is seven
miles from the Junction. On our right is Un
ion Mills, on the same stream, where the Al
exandria and Manassas railroad crosses the
Run, end distant four miles. Proceeding from
Fairfax Coart House, by Centreville, to Slone
Bridge, the enemy passed in front of our en
tire line, but et a distance ranging from five
to two miles
At 9 o’clock, I reached an eminence nearly
opposite the two batteries mentioned above,
and which commanded a full view of the coun
try for mttes around, except on the right.—
From this point I could traoe the movements
of the approaching hosts by the clouds of dust
that rose high above the surrounding hills.—
Our left, under Brigadier-Generals Evans, Jaok-
aon and Cocke, and Col. Bar tow, with the Geor
gia Brigade, composed of tho 7th and 8th reg
iments, had been put in motion, and was ad
vancing upon the enemy with a force of about
15,000, while the enemy himself was advanc
ing upon our. left with a compact column of at
least 40,000. His entire force on this side of
the Potomac is estimated at 74,000. These ap
proaching columns encountered each other at
11 o'clock.
Meanwhile, the two batteries in front kspt
up their fire upon the wooded hill where they
supposed our centre lay. They sent occasion
al balls, from their rifled cannon, to the emi
nence where yonr correspondent stood. Gens.
Beauregard, Johnston and Bonham reachtd
this point at 12, and one of these balls passed
directly over and very near them, and plung
ed into the ground a few paces from where I
stood. I have the ball new, and hope to he
able to show it to you at some future day. It
Is an 18 pound ball, and about 4 inches long.
By the way, this thing of taking notes amidst
a shower of shells and balls is more exciting
than pleasant. At a quarter pMt 12, Johnston
and Beauregard galloped rapidly forward in
tbe direction of Stone Bridge, where the ball
had now fully opened. Your correspondent
followed their example, and soon reached a
position In front of the battle field.
The artillery were the first to open fire, pre
cisely at 11 o’otoek. By half-past 11, the in
fantry had engaged, and Chart it was that the
battle began to rage. The dusky columns
whick had thus far marked the approach of
the two armies, new mingled with great clouds
of amoks, as It rose from the dashing guns be
low, and the two shot up together like e huge
pyramid of red and blue. Tbe shook wes as
tremendous as ware the odds between the two
forces. With what anxious hearts did wa
watch that pyramid of amoks and dust 1 When
it moved to the right, we knew the enemy
were giving way ; and when It moved to the
left, wa knew that our friande wart receding.
Twite the pyramid moved to the right, and ae
often returned. At laat, ebout two o'oleek, it
begin to tnoveslpwl/ to tbe left, and thus It
eon tinned to move for ffco mortal hours. The
enemy wee seeking to tern our left lank, and
to reaeh the railroad leading heme In the di
rection of Winchester. T* do this, he extend
ed hie lines, which he was enable to do by
t ef kis greet
on our part which .weakened the ferae of onr
resistance along the whole Has of battle, wbleh
finally extended over a spaoo of two miloe. It
also rendered It the more difficult to bring up
reinforcement#, ae tbe further the enemy ex
tended hie right, the greeter the distance onr
reserve foroee bed to travel to ooanteraet the
movement.
Thle effort to turn our flank wae pressed with
great determination for five long, weary hour*,
during which the tide of battle ebbed and flow
ed along the entire line with alternate for-
tunee. The enemy'e column continued to
slrctek awey to tba left, like a hugs anaeends,
seeking to envelope us within its mighty folds
and crush us to death ; and at one time it re-
eily looked as if bs would suooeed. But hurt
1st me pens# to explain why it was cur rein
forcements were so late in arriving, and why
a certain other important mevemant miscar
ried.
The moment he discovered the enemy’s or.
dsr of battls, Geo. Beauregard, it is said, dis
patched orders to Gan. Swell, on our extreme
right, to move forward and turn hie left or
rear. At the earn# time he ordered Geaerale
Jonee, Longetreat and Bonham, occupyiag the
eenlre of our llnee, to cooperate in thia move
ment, but not to move until Gen. Ewell had
made the attack. The order to Gen. Ewell un
fortunately mieesrried. The other# were de
livered, but as tbs movements of tbe oentre
were to be regulated eatirely by those on the
right, nothing was done at all. Had tba orders
te Gsn. Ewell been received and carried out,
and eur entire force brought upon the field, we
should have "destroyed the enemy's army al
most literally. Attacked in front, on the flank
and in the rear, he could not poeeibly have
escaped, exoept at tbe lose of thousands ef
prisoners and all his batteries, whils the field
would have been strewed with hie dead.
Finding that his ordsrs had in some way
failed to be executed, Gen. Beauregard at last
ordered up a portion of the forces which were
intended to co operate with General Ewell. It
was late, however, before these reinforcements
came up. Only one brigade reached the field
before the battle was won. This was led by
Gen. E. K. Smith, of Florida, formerly of the
United States army, and was a part of General
Johnston’s column from Winchester. They
•should have reached here tbe day before, but
were prevented by an accident on tbe railroad.
They dashed on the charge with loud shouts
and In the most gallant style. About the same
time, Msj. Elsey (formerly of the Augusta Ar
senal,—I may have his title wrong,) coming
down the railroad from Winchester with the
last of Johnston’s brigades, and hearing the
firing, immediately quit the train and struck
across the country, and, as a gracious fortune
would have it, he encountered the extreme
right of the enemy as he was feeling his way
around our flank, and with his brigade struck
him like a thunderbolt, full in the face. Find
ing he was about to be outflanked himself, the
enemy gave way after the second fire. Mean
while, Beauregard rallied the centre and dash
ed into the very thickest of the fight, and af
ter him ruahad our own brave boya, with a
ahout that teemed to shake the very eaith.—
The reault of this movement from three dis
tinct points, was to force back the enemy, who
began to retreat, first in good order, and final
ly in much confusion. At this point ths cav
alry were ordered upon the pursuit. The re
treat now became a perfect rout, and it is re
ported that the flying legions rushed past Cen
treville in the direction of Fairfax, as if the
earth had been opening behind them. It wae
when Gen. Beauregard led the final charge,
that his horse was killed by a shell.
We captured thirty-four guns, including
Sherman’s famous battery, a large number of
small arms, thirty wagons loaded with provis
ions, 4c., and about 700 prisoners. Among the
latter, were Gen. Burnsides, of the Rhode Is
land brigade, Col. Corcoran, of the New York
Irish Zouaves, Hon. Mr. Ely, member of Con
gress, from New York, Mr. Carrington, of this
Stats, a nephew of the late Wm. C. Preston,
who had gone over to the enemy, and thirty-
two Captains, Lieutenants, 4c. Wc came near
bagging the Hod. Mr. Foster, Senator from
Connecticut.
The official raports ef the casualties of the
day have not yet come in, and consequently it
is impossible to ssy what our loss is. I can
only venture an opinion, and that is, that we
lost in killed, wounded and missing, about
1,400—of which about 400 were killed. The
enemy’s loss wae terrible, being at the loweat
calculation, 3,000.
Thus far I have said but little of tbe part ta
ken by particular officers and regiments; for
the reason that 1 desire first to obtain all the
facts. Nor have I said anything of the gal
lant seventh and eighth regiments from Geor-
gia. This put of my duly i. molt nuleeeholy.
It may b« enough to «»y, that thay war# the

heed of the seventh regiment, be ageio led
tbe charge, thle time on feet, and gallantly en
couraging hie men as they rushed on. The
first discharge from the enemy's guns kilted
the regimontal color bearer. Bartow Immedi
ately seised the flag, and again putting bimeelf
in the front, dashed on, flag In hand, hie vefoe
ringing clear over the battle- field, and saying*
“On, my boye, we will die rather then yield or
retreat." And on the brave boye did go, end
faster flew the anemy’s bullets. The fire wee
awful. Not late than 4,004 muskets were
pouring their fatal contents open thsin, while
the battery itself was dsaling death on every
side.
The gallant Eighth Regiment, which had
already passed through tbe distressing ordeal,
agsiu rallied, determined to stand by their
ohivalric Colonel to the last. Ths more furious
the fire, the quioker bscene the advancing
step of the two regiments. At last, and j ust
whan thay were nearing tha goal of their hopes
and almost in tbe arms of victory, tho brave
end noble Bartow was shot down, the bell
striking him in the left breast, just above ths
heart. His men rallied around him, aud find
ing him mortally wounded and that the (orcts
that had been ordered to support their charge
had not yet come up, they gradually fell back
bearing him in thair arms and disputing every
Inch of ground. I learn that they would nev
er have retired hut for the orders which came to
them to do so, and which were given in conse
quance of the non-arrival of the supporting
force. It appears that the order to sup-
portonr charge, like that to Gen. Evell, miscar
ried—a failure which had nearly cost us two
of the best regiments in the army. Col. Bar
tow died soon after he was borne from the field.
His last words, as repealed to me, were: "they
have killed me, my brave boys, but never give
up the ship—we’ll whip them yet." And so
wa did I
The field officers of the Seventh Regiment
escaped except Col. Gartrell who received a
■light wound. All tbe superior officers in the
Eighth Regiment, except Msj. Cooper, were
killed or wounded. Lieut Coi. Gardner had
his lag broken by a musket ball, and Adjutant
Branoh was killed. Cspt. Howard of tbe Moon
tain Rangers from Merriwether county was al
so killed. But I shall not go into a statement
of the killed and wounded preferring in deli
cate and painful a matter to await the official
report, which I hope to get to morrow, when I
■hall have more to say about our heroic regi
ments. I will add just here, that our lose in
officers was very great. Among others may be
mentioned Gen. Bee, Lieut* Col. Johnson of
Hampton’s Legeon, and Col. Tbomts of Gen.
Johnston’s Staff, and others. Gen. Jsckson wss
wounded in the hsnd, and Coi. Wheat of the
New Orleans Tigers was shot through the body.
•Col. Jones of the 4th Alabama Regiment it is
feared wss mortally wounded. The regiments
that suffered most and were in the thickest of the
fight, were the 7th and 8th Georgia, the 4th
Alabama, Fourth South Carolina Hampton’s
Legeon, and 4th Virginia. The New Orleana
Washington Artillery did great execution*
If we consider the numbers engaged and the
character of tbe contest, we may congratulate
ourselves upou having won, one of the most
brilliant victories that any race of people ever
achieved. It waa the greatest battle ever fought
on this continent, and will take its place in
history by the aide of the moat memorable
gagemeuts. It is believed that General Scott
himself waa nearby, at Centreville, and that he
directed as he had planned, the whole move
ment. Gen. McDowell was the active c
mander upon the field.
President Davis arrived upou the field at 5
o’clock just as the enemy bad got into full re
treat Hia appearance waa greeted with about
after about, and was equivalent to a reinforce
mentof 5,000 man. He left Richmond at 7
in tha morning.

Lead t Lead! Lead !
W« would most earnestly call tbe attention
of Southern people to the importance of in
creasing the quanity of lead. There are large
quantities of this metal in various parte of
Virginia and ether Southern States. It is on
ly necessary to be known that there ia a de
mand for every pound that can he got. Indi
viduals cannot employ their means more pro
fitably than by working lead mines Tbe soon
er they do it the better for them aud them

without tbs help of lead. Steal will do very
well for thoas who will aland close quarters.
But there are a great many of them w ho “caU
oulata on keeping at a respectful distanoe and
picking us off "at long taw.’* We must have
lead for them.

of their readers to this subject.

Among the maay Interesting incidents of
this brilliant fight, wbiob are being vonlHa
led Ip oar VirglaU exchanges, we deem the
fellowlof not unworthy of general ciroula
ties:
During tho height of the battle, many of
eur troope, In their anxiety to get a sure pop
at the enemy, left the ranks for that purpose
aod advanced some distance ia front. One of
those, James Woolridge, of Capt. Blankin-
•hip’s company, who wae wounded, made for
a tree, wbloh would afford him protection,
but just as he arrived there a Unoolnite came
up, who disputed the possession of the tree
with Wooldridge. The matter wae, however,
quickly eettled, for without aey parley Wool
ridge ran his bayonet tbrongh tbe Yankee,
killing him Instantly. A federal officer then
rode up, who had observed the affair, and
while Woolridge’s bayonet was still in tbe
body of his victim, ordered him to surrender.
The proposition, however, did not accord with
Wooldridge’s idea, for in an inetaot bis bayo
net was withdrawn, when he let the offioer
have tbe full benefit of it, and killed him in
stantly nlso. Two more Linooluites were just
then rushing upon Wooldridge, but observing
the fate of those who had preceded them, im
mediately turned about, and taking to their
heels os fast as they oould, left our hero ia
possession of the much coveted tree. Wool
dridge was subsequently wounded, no doubt
in consequence of exposiog bimeelf unneces
sarily.
Another of tbe incidents mentioned to us
is, that while a negro servant of Capt. Laog-
horne’s company [the same, no doubt, refer
red to in the letter of our Army Correspond
ent, published yesterday.—Eds. Confsdbua—
ct ] wae moving about over the field, he wae
ordered to surrender by a Federal officer, who
rode up to where he wae unexpectedly.—
Nothing daunted, however, and not relishing
tbe idea of surrendering to a Yankee, the ne
gro replied, “ No sir-ree, you are my prison
er/ 1 at the earns moment drawing a pistol aod
shooting the officer dead. Tbe sable hero
then secured tbe officer’s side-arms, and when
the battle was over boasted largely of having
given a quietus to one at least one of “ the
Blinkin’ Yankees who como here ’ppecting to
whip ut Southerners.”
A Procession of Starving Women.
The New York Journal of Commerce of the
16th of July says :
A large number of hungry women, with
babies in their arms, misled by erroneous an
nouncements in several newspapers, gathered
on Monday in front of the branch office of the
Union Defeuse Committee, No. 14 Fourth
avenue, expecting aid from the Committee.
That office not having been re opened, tbe
half famished creatures marched, two by two,
to the City Hell in search of the Mayor, who
was not there. Tired with their long walk
and ravenous for food, they became wild with
disappointment on learning that the Mayor
was not in. One of them threatened to drown
herself and child. Another said she was wil
ling to starve, but her baby should have food,
even if she stole it. A third said that she
would never have allowed her son to enlist
(in the Mozart Regiment) if be bad not prom
ised that his mother would receive two dol
lari a week from the city. These frantio ex
pressions of grief and rage were at last
silenoed by one of the Mayor’s clerks, who
directed the poor women to the rooms of the
Union Defense Committee, in Fine street.
Thither they went, and rushed into tbe apart
ment, orying out: 44 We are starving.” **We
want money.” Gen. Wetmore, Secretary of
the Committee, kindly explained to the clam
orous crowd that there was no money ou
hand, but that several gentlemen were trying
to raise some, and would probably be ready
to relieve them in a day or two. He advised
them to go home. This advice, though unde
niably well meant, did not fill empty stom
achs, and the poor women continued lo plead
for money and food, alternating their entree
ties with execrations upon the war, the Com
mittee and the oity authorities for a long
lime. Finally, finding that their implorations
availed nothing, they one after auother with
drew from the Committee’s room, to seek for
oold charity in the streets, or to go home and
starve.
The Sub-Committee on lleiief mot in the
afternoon, aud prepared a plan of assistance
which they will present to the General Com
mittee at that meeting to morrow.
Do.v’t Confooxd thx Names.—The Fairfax
Station is often confounded with Fairfax Court
House. The former is situated on Orange and
Alexandria railroad, eighteen miles from Al-
andria, and tbe Court House or county teat of
Fairfax county, is a village about fourteen
milos from Alexandria, ou the wagon road
leading to Warranton. And ths earns may be
said of Manassas Gap and Manassas Junction.
The latter place is where our soldiers are en-
oamped, and is about 25 miles from Alexan-
daia. The Gap is in tbe valley of Virginia,
running through the Blue Bidge mountains,
and about 60 miles from the Junction.—Rich
