ATLANTA, GEORGIAS
SUNDAY, JULY 28, 1801.
Mr We oheerfully give place to the follow-
tag, which we find is the advertising columns
of the Richmond Whig of the 23d iontaot:
**THB DEVOTED BAND!”
rpilE shortest path to peace is that which
JL oarries havoc and desolation to our inva*
d«rs. It io believed that there are five or ten
thousand men in the South read y and willing
to share the fate of Curtlus, and devote tbem-
selve to the salvation of their country. It is
proposed that all who arc willing to make this
sacrifice, eball arm themselree with a sword,
two five shooters and a carbine eaoh, and
meet, on horse-back, at some place to be des
ignated, oonvenient for the great work in
hand, fire and sword must bo carried to Ibe
houses of thoss who sre visiting those bless
ings upon thsir neighbors. Philadelphia, and
even Naw York, is not beyond the reaoh of a
long and brave arm. The moral people of
these cities cannot be better taught the vir*.
tue* of invasion than by the biasing light of
their own dwellings.
None need apply for admission to “THE
DEVOTED BAND” but those who sre prepar
ed to take their life in their hand, and who
would indulge not the least expectation of
ever returning. They dedicate their live* to the
destruction of their enemies !

All Southern papers are requested to give
this notioe a few inaertioos.
f£y It is interesting and amusing to look
over the braga of the Northern papers whioh
were issued on the morning of the 18th July.
Our readers will recollect that the Confeder
ates retired from Fairfax and Centreville, and
fell baok on Bull's Run, on the evening of the
17th instant. On getting this news, it was
heralded all over the North as a glorious vic
tory over the rebels, and the morning papers
exalted without limit. To read these crow-
ings and think of the result, forcibly reminds
us of Byron’s destruction of Seunaoherib.
The Aeeylen tame down Ilk. the wolf on the fold,
And hie cohorts were gleaming In pnrple end gold,
And the eheen of their epeere wet like etere on the See.
When the blue waves roll night], on deep Galilee.
Like the leavea of the foreet when euniroer le green,
Thet hoet with their banners at sunset were teen,
Like leevee of the foreet when sutumn both blown,
That hoet on the morrow Is, wither’d and strewn.
TUE SUFFERINGS OF THE GATE.
CITY GAURDS,
Extract of a Letter from J. M. Black.
well, Esq., to his Wife, dated, Staunton,
duly Slat, 1861.
My Dear Emily: Since I last wroto you at
Laurel Hill, 1 have gone through the rubbers.
Wo then were fighting, and the fight was kept
eptill Tkurdw weeleg, the 11th, when we
were ordered to strike tents and fall back to
Beverly. We left Leurel Hill at 0 o’clock at
night—inarching all night through the rain
and mud. When within a few miles of Bever
ly, wo learned that 8,000 of the enemy were
posted there. Our only chance was to turn
and retreat to Winchester or Monterey, and it
had to bo done in quick time. We struck out
as best we could, and carried everything with
us as long as possible. Our foroe at Laurel
Hill was only 8,700, and that of the enemy 19,-
000, acoording tr their own admiseions. About
12 o'clock Friday, the boya commenced to drop
their blankets, then overcoats, end finally
knapsacks, nntil wa were left with nothing
but our guus. We marched on io this way all
day Friday, and until we reaehed Cheat Itiver,
Saturday morning, when the soouta came in
and informed us thet the enemy was in sight.
Our Regiment was then halted and formed in
line of battle. (Here follows an account of
the fight, which we hove published several
times.)
We have lost one cannon and all our bag
gage wagons. Not one man, officer nor private,
has a stitch of clothes, except whet he hxdon
his back. Our tents, cooking vexieis, end
even our banner—the gift of the ladies of At-
lanta—fell into the hands of the enemy; and
worse than all, O. Badger, who was sfok and in
one of the wagons, was left lying io it, and the
wagon standing in ths river. He, of course, is
a prisoner, but whet his fate will be, I am un
able to say. Our regiment was so formed that
s'x companios of it were cut off from us, and
is that condition we were left to work our way
out as best we could. We were only 380 strong.
On one side of us was 19,000 Yankees, and on
ths other, starvatiea among the mountain
wilds, presenting itself. We preferred the let
ter to being made prisoners. Ws worked our
way for four days and nights, over craggy
rocks and through mountain gorges, without
food or a spark of fire, or a blaokot to wrap
ourselss in. Dan Guard and myself succeeded
la leading out a parly of thirteen. We then
had provIson prepard and hired men to hunt
up the others.
My suffering and fatigue were more then
1 thought I oould bear; but I fought it bravely
through.
I have just learned that all of the oompaniee
we left in the mountains have reached Monte
rey In safely, I shall remain here a day or
two Io have some clothaa made, and join ray
Regiment at Monterey.
It is now almost certain that all of the Oslo
City Guards are safe, except G. Badger and J.
r. Crocket. Wo can't say what has befallen
Croeket—though ho is either a prisonar or kill-
ed, aa ho has not bean scan since the battle.

Army of ths Potomac, )
Manassas, July 28,1861. (
The details of the great battle of Slone
Bridge are coming In hourly, and, until they
are all received, digested and arranged by
those In authority, it will be Impossible to do
more than to give such particulars as one
can pick up here and there. And, unleas I
should do injustice to some officer or regi
ment, I shall say but little of a personal char
acter, until official data are received. I find
that I have already been led into error by
relying upon the reports of others, in certain
particulars, and it will be my duty to correct
the error in the course of this letter.
Our victory was far greater and more com
plete than even Gen. Beauregard waa aware
of on Sunday night. It is now thought that
we had 18,000 men engaged; and nev
er did the same number of men make a more
gallant fight since the foundations of the
earth were laid. We now know that the
enemy’s force was a little over 53.000; for
official papers have been found upon the bat
tle field, that were probably lost by some of
the Federal officers, which contain the or
ders from headquarters, the plans of tlie en
emy, and the number of his forces who were
to make the fight. These papers, ss before
remarked, call for a force a little over 53,-
000. The exact fraction I have not heard,
but my informant has seen the papers, and
there can be no mistake in the general ac
curacy of the statement
What heroes our brothers are, when 18,-
000 of them stood up in tlie broiling sun for
five long and weary hours, like a wall of
fire, again3t such tremendous odds! Our
wonder and admiration increases, when we
remember that many of our men had just
arrived, after fatiguing marches, some from
Winchester, like the 7th and 8th Georgia
Regiments, and some by railway from the
far South, and who had never before been
on the field. One’s heart swells with pride,
and his eyes well over with tears, when he
thinks of the fircy ordeal through which
they passed, and the more than Grecian or
Roman valor which they displayed. Thank
God for the goodly land He has given US,
and for the race of heroes He has planted
along its valleys and among its hlUs—a sure
defense against the taint of the infidel and
the tread of the invader.
The rout of the enemy, as he proceeded
on his retreat, finally became complete and
disgraceful. He neither stopped at Centre-
ville, where Scott had his headquarters, nor
at Fairfax, but continued to fly until his bro
ken columns entered Alexandria. Many of
the men had loat their shoes, caps, clotlies |
and all tlie outfit of a soldier, and rushed in
to the town almost a naked and famished
mob. It is said that some of them forced
their way on to Washington, where serious
trouble was apprehended, on account of their
insubordination and panic. You will be
glad to learn that Gen. Beauregard has al
ready ordered a column forward to occupy
Centreville and Fairfax, and tho impression
prevails that we shall advance upon Alex
andria by the end of Ibe week.
It now appears that the cnemys loss in killed
wounded and prisoners, will reach 4,000; of
these, About 800 were killed, 1,000 taken pris
oners, and 2,000 wounded. Their wounded
and dead have been left upon the field with
out any effort being made by Scott or Mc
Dowell to have them buried or cared for,
and our own men have been engaged for
two days in performing this humane duty to
their enemies. Scores of them still remain
unburied, a horrid spectacle to tlie living,
and a prey to tho vulture; while manyjof
their wounded have been left two days and
nights, without a cup of water. Our men
have done all they could to relieve them, af
ter giving their first attention to our own
sufferers; but their number is so great that
wc have not been able either to bury half
their dead, or relieve a third of their wound
ed. The poor wretches seem most grateftil
for tbo least attention.
Ellsworth’s famous New York Fire Zou
aves were terribly cut up. A gentleman who
went over the battle field to-day, says he
counted nearly 200 of their dead upon about
three acres of ground.
The Aill result of our captures was not
kno vn at the date of our letter yesterday,
and new facts are constantly coming to light
Instead of 34 guns, including Sherman’s fa
mous battery, and Rickett’s land Ramsay's
batteries, it now appears that we took fifty-
one guns, and any amount of small arms A
number of their guns got blocked up at
Hanging Brk!ge|over Cubb's creek, on the
retreat, so that they could not be extricated.
These we got, though not the horses; for the
frightened Hessians cut loose and mounted
them, and rushed back to the Potomac at a
pace Uvat John Gilpin never attained. The
road, for miles, was strewn with arms, can
teens, cape, shoes, broken wagons, and all
the wreck of a broken and iMnic-etrlcken
army.
I staled la ■/ letter ef yesterday, that aa
importaat order from Qoasral Beauregard to
Goa. Enroll had boos ajpeonied; sad I oa
deavotad to espials u yen hew we might have
destroyed tho enemy end oapSarad pootrhly
half of hie army, If the ardor kadboaaro-
eeivtd sad earned eet. - This l» mow ef tho
errors into vhiek I foil. It would now •**»,
that tho order woe delivered—thet General
Swell proceeded, after the lnpae or ooo hour,
to exeoute it—that having moved a part of the
way te where be waa ordered, he halted for
half an hour, and then returned io hie camp
—that after another hour he again started his
solemn In the direotion he had been ordered,
and bad nserljr reaehed ths enemj'sretr when
fresh orders cans to him to hasten to ths re
lief of our left, where the battle bed been
raging so long, and where he Anally arrived
just as ths light ended. The lest order would
never have been given if he had obeyed ths
first; for if be had attaoked the enemy's rear
early in the day as he wss directed to do, ws
should here needed no reinferoementt upon
ths left. His oon-luot is a mystery, but I shall
refrain from further remark, except to say
that if Beauregard’s orders had been carried
out, the Federal army would hevs been de
stroyed and ths war virtually ended.
There wee mother error in my letter of
yeeterdey in relation to (he part whioh the ia
men ted Bartow and the 7th and 8ih Georgia
Regiments took in tho fight. Gallunt ss I rep
resented their conduct to be, it now sppears
that only the half was told. General Evans’
Brigade occupied (be extreme left along the
line of Bull’s Run. Next oame General Bee’s
brigade, and next to hie Col. Bartow’s, and
after his Gen. Jackson’s. Ths enemy opened
n battery upon Gen. Evens by way of feint,
but oontinued to push on his flaok movement.
Gen. Bee wes diepatohed to hold him in oheok,
but so great were ibe numbers opposed to him,
that he was gradually forced back, while the
enemy slowly but surely advanoed along our
flank. It was at this point Colonel Bartow’s
brigade was ordered up. Meanwhile a batte
ry of six guns had been planted to our left to
protect the steady march of the Federal col
umn, and to drive back our forces as they en
deavored to head it off. As Col. Bartow was
proceeding to take his position, he met Gen.
Beauregard, who told him that everything
depended upon his taking the position to which
he had been ordered, ohecking the advance of
the enemy and silencing the battery if possi
ble. Upon this bloody duty he immediately
■terted at the head of the heroic Eighth. He
waa exposed to a galling fire, for nearly an
hour, from whioh the regiment suffered terri
bly. His horse was killed under him by one
hall, while bis sword wa9 shivered to pieces
by another. His horse came near upon fall
npon Captain Dawson, of the Stephens Light
Guards, who behaved with great gallantry as
did his whole company. At length it beoome
necessary to retire the Eighth, so much bad
it Buffered, in order to give it lime to reform
its line. At this point Col. Bartow brought
up the Seventh, whioh had been ordered to
lie flat upon the ground until called for. Du
ring this time the enemy’s lines continued to
■treleh away to the left and gradually to force
us back, wheu Gen. Jackson was ordered to
bring his brigade into position. Placing him*
self at the bead of the Seventh, and taking
the colors in his own hands, (the color bearer
havtog been wounded, not killed as represen
ted,) Col. Bartow proceeded again to occupy
the position to whioh be hsd been ordered —
He had pro.ured another boras, and was not
on foot when he fell as I staled yesterday.—
The Seventh was exposed to the same reking
fire from which the Eighth had suffered
•o muoh, though not for] Io long a time.
Indeed, ibe fighting along the entire line in
this part of the field was terrific. It was here
that the fortunes of the day vibrated first to
one side and tbeD to the other, and nothing
but the almost superhuman exertions of the
Confederate troops gave ue the victory. You
will be glad to learn that even the prisoners
taken from the enemy pay the highest tribute
to the Georgia brigade. They say they never
saw men fight aa they did, and when told that
there were only two regiments of them, they
were utterly astonished, for, judging by the
terrible execution of our muskets, they bad
supposed them to number four times as many.
I passed over that part of the field the night
the battle was fought, in search of Bartow’s
body, end the beaps.of (be deadon the enemies
side as seen by the fitful moonlight and the
groans and cries t tbat every where saluted my
ears, told too plainly that good old Georgia
had that day dealt a giant's blow at the heed
of the oppressors.
The 7th, aided by the 8lh, which had been
partially restored to order, continued to hold
their position with varying fortunes, and
never did quit the field until the battle was
won. Bartow had promised Gen. Beaure
gard to maintain his position, and he did it
as long as he lived, and the Brigade did it
after he had fallen. And the result was the
capture of the battery (Sherman’s,) that had
decimated our forces by its fire, and the fin
al rout of the adversary. To no two regi
ments on the field is the country more in
debted than to the glorious 7th and 8th, from
Georgia. Every man was a lion-hearted he
ro, aud every company a wall of fire,
I have not attempted to fhrniah you an
account of individual acta of heroism, or
the gallant conduct of other regiments; for
the reason that the military rules adopted
here render it difficult to get access to the
proper sources of information. Besides, you
will find, in the papers of the other States,
represented in the battle a more satisfactory
account of what their particular regiments
did, than I could possibly give yoti 1 ;
Thus far I hevs net beta able to obtain a
Hat of the killed and wounded in the Eighth
Georgia regiment, bat hope te be able is do
