SOUTHERN / CONFEDERACY. * out It cm QmU&mq GEO. W. ADAIR J. HINLY SMITH, macrone in raoraiatoas. 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 ! A. 8. B. D. B , Richmond. 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. Ornca HupaaisTcnusxT W. A A. K.

( 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 eo to-morrow. It i« supposed considerably more lhaa the seventh. Appended hereto io a eiflUemeat of tho eeeapliiee ia the Beveat b, whioh Ool.
