. Thobattle cantinued with unabated fury for
j three-hours, when about two o’clock p. m, the
j enemy’s centre giving wav before the comb.ncd
lire of our artillery and the charge of our infantry,
[ their whole force fell back precipitately- and io
disorder.
But, after an interval of an hour, during which
ih re was some unimportant skirmishing, at three
o’clock p. m-, the enemy again Returned to the
charge with redoubled im|H‘ruositv, and . au ; v
after serhre fighting, were they driven back at the’
point t bayonet.
A (bird time they were rallied and brought up,
but only to fie repulsed-quickly and with great
slaughter.
It was now- five o’clock p. tn., rind the enenit
made no attempt, to--renow the light, but. retreated
hastily, leaving the field, strewn with the .bodies
of their dead and wounded, iu possession ot the
Confederate*.
The buftlednul extended along the creek, “Bull's |

Yankee hireiings.
The famous Sheriuan battery, upon which the
et.cniy evidently based so much hope of success,
was almost utterly annihilated. Some say there
is scarcely a corporals guard of them left. Our
first Regiment of Virginia Volunteers, under

From Gov. • Wise's Legion. —The Richmond
Dknidch gives the following from Western Vir
ginia, concerning the landing of Federal forces
aud march upon Charleston, Vu. The letter is
dated July 13 :
In the first place, the Ohio wolves swam the
river in boats arid desolated the beautiful place
auu property of Hon. A. S. Jenkins, member of
the lute U. 8. Congress, and destroyed or carried
off property estimated at■ £:;o,oud. Capt. Jenkins
however, has determined to get even with them ;
and,Jo begin, captoied.in aday or two, a steam boat
ou the Ohio and took therefrom one box of revolv
ers and one of swords. He is a brilliant parti'zan
chieftain, and perfectly fearless. When last heard
from, he was in rear o! the Federal army, which
is rapidly advancing on Charleston ; he may be
cut off, but most likdy his mother mountains will
fol - him safely within their bosoms.
As to the advance upou Cliarlestou, the follow
ing is authentic:
On yesterday, at S A. M., the Fe ieral forces
passed through Buffalo in force, estimated at 3,000,
and later in the day 2,0u0 more arrived ut that
place. On the day before, they had taken posses
sion of Point Pleasaut, captured two of Captain
Jenkins’ men, and fired into a crowd of retreating
citizens, killing Mr. 8. li. Miller.
On the same day, (Thursday) they landed at
Guyandotte in force, estimated by an eye witness
ut 400, and also dropped 100 at Meadow Bottom.
This force is now on the advance, magnified to
1,7)0. From Ripley, the county seat of Jackson,
they ahe‘advancing also, in uumbe' 1 * estimated at
not’les- than i,soo while Glcnville is in the hands
of the hostile force, which l informed you in my
last was waging war in Gilmer: This force is in
a:mb dto get behind this point, or make a move

Tub News is Savannah—An Incident.—The
Savannah Jif'/molica/i, speaking of the great bat
tle at Manassas on Bunday, says:
Our citv yesterday was agonized by conflicting
emotions-joy for the triumph of oar arms, and
auuuiah for ;iie terrible cost of the victory. The
fall of noble, chivalrous B.irfow carried a pang of
sOnow to ewry heart, while numerous house
holds plunged in sor row fur dear departed
4 >iil s,or agonized with suspense ami fear lest they
too have lost a son or brother. But a par* of the
battle field has been exposed to vtow a* we write,
and even that little brings mourning to a thou
sand hearts.
A\i<atirjg-*father he rode in trom the coun
try yesterday, was met by a messenger, who re
ported to him the sad news of the death of a
favorite son. “How and where did he die?” was
the impulsive interrogatory. “ Under Reaure
gard, at M massas, lighting against odds of two to
one,” was the reply. “And how went the day?”
was immediately f jaculatud. “The enemy were
beaten and put to tlignt,” was the response.
“ Thank God!” said the father; “then I am satis
fied—l give up my boy.”
Thjs touching incident we commend to every
heart that has been bereaved in this terrible
righteous war. L-t them take the example of
this* palriot c father- to heart. They lore their
sons and brothers no more than he—and while
humanity must feel, the promptness of natural
affection must be obeyed, let them banish all ex
cess of grief in the cheer ng reflection that their
beloved ones hare nobly perished in defence of
their country, of truth, Os justice, and of right.
They are precious offerings and Heaven will pour
out the’ incense *of its blessings upon the altar
wherepn they are laid.
The Xews, of Monday, has a despatch announ
cing the fieath of W. H. Crane, Julias C. Ferrill

ner, of Augusta, was slightly wounded.
From Winchester, Va.— A correspondent of
the Richmond Dispatch , under date of Winches
ter, July 10, has the following :
Since this time yesterday everything bos been
iu movement here, incident to au advauce of Gen.
Patterson’s command. Yesterday morning obo
of Col. Stuart’s cavalry charged on one regiment
of Patterson’s infantry, about six miles this side
ot Martiosbnrg. The infantry tired before the
charge was made. Immediately after tbe fire the
cavalry made the chat go, tired their revolvers,
aud then retreated. Col. Stuart’s horse was shot
from under him. The lines of Infantry were
broken as the charge was made, the in antry re
treating behind a post and rail fence, which could
not be easily broken down, and over which the
cavalry could not pass. Other regiments were in
tight, and also some heavy artillery. The infor
mation was given me by a member ot the Clarke
Cavalrv, who was in the charge and who came to
Winchester for another horse for Col. Stuart.—
The gentleman could give no account of the killed
or wounded, as he came immediately away. He
said,that in the retreat he saw several horses fol
lowing with empty saddies.
The prisoners taken at Falling Waters say that
the time of four regiments in Patterson’s com
mand expires ou the 16th of the month, and that
they will go home.
Prisoners are brought in here every day.

Ark wsiaNs Rushing into Missouri.—The Wash

&ys:
ArkaoMins are rising in legions at the call of

forcible übjection by federal minions. We said
before that when Missouri gave us the cry of dis

flocking to the north, hastily, impetuously, and
burning with wrath. There is too much common

Mananas Junction, July 3*J. -Give glory to God
ir. r Highest tor the great victory He has vouch
safed lo ou*- arms.
The enemy, with 50,000 in**n, attempted to turn
our left at lu <’clock in ihv toreo#on. We op
posed him with f5,0d0. The butUe raged furious
ly until 4 o’clock, when the enemy, after several
reu Les, was forced back, and finally retreated,
with great precipitation, to CentnviUe.
Our killed, wounded and mGvng, so far as as
certained, number twelve hundred. Os th'ese four
hundred are kilted.
ihe enemy’s loss is very heavy in killed aud
wounded, though particulars, of course, are unas
certamed besides which we captured thirty-four
cannon, including Sherni iti’s celebrated buttery
of flying artillery and one long Barrett giro.
Our tuVces were led in the ac:ion by Generals
Beauregard and Johnston. The former had bis
horse’s head shot off io the battle.
President Davis reached the field just as the
enemy retreated.
The Georgia Seventh and Eighth Regiments
covered themselves, with glory oy their gallantry
throughout the action.
Col. Bartow was killed while leading a despe
rate charge upon a battery, with his regiments!
colors in hand, ihe color bearer of the regiment
having been killed.
Lieut. Col. Gardner, of the First Independent
Regiment, was wounded;
Adjutant John Branch, of the same regiment,
wu* killed.
The two Georgia Regiments were badly cut to
to pieces.
C- !. Bartow’s ’praise is u’pgii the lips of the
whole dr my.
W e took 800 prisoners.
Hampton's South Carolina Legion, the Fourth
Alabama and -Sixth North Carolina •regiments
were severely cat to pieces.
Our loss iu officers is very large.
Our Richmond exchanges of Monday’ contain
but little in addition to that already given. From
Tuesday's Itispatch we take the following items
the battle aud the subjoined editorial:
The Central train arrived lute last night, and
we gather from the jyaysetig'Mi some particulars
of the battle. u ’’ ‘
As already stated, the left wing of our armv
sustained the heaviest part of the fight and suf
fered severely.
The loss ou our side in killed and wounded is
variously estimated at from 1,500 to ‘2,500, though
in’ the contusion succeeding the battle it was
utterly impossible to ascertain the number accu
rately.
The enemy is believed to have lost fro 12,000
to 15,000, besides a large number tak u pi .soners.
About 500 of the latter were brought in at Manas
sas yesterday morning.
Gen. Pattersou, of the Federal armv, is taken
prisoner; also another high officer, whose name
we understand to be Wilcox.
The body of Col. Fisher, of the North Carolina
sixth regiment, who passed through here a few
days ago ijt the head of a splendid command, was
brought down on the train last eight; also three
others, whose names we did not learn.
A considerable number of wounded soldiers
also came down The train started, we were in
formed, with seme three hundred, but left mauy
ou the way—some of whom took different routes
for the interior, and others were too feeble to
travel.
Capt. Shield’s Howitzer Battery was in the ac
tion at a late hour, and behaved gallantly. We
could not learn that this command suffered any
serious loss.
The Washington Artillery, of New Orleans, sus
tained a handsome part iu the fight. Only one
was killed. His body came down last night in
charge of his father. A few were wounded—the
exact number we could not ascertain.
We have reason to believe that Col. Moore’s
First Virginia lvegimeut suffered little luss.
Much anxiety was maui ested at the depot to
learn the loss sustained b\ r tlie cavalry compa
nies, and a gentleman who was near the scene of
action thought it was not heavy, since they com
uienced their attack and pursuit at a late hour.
Sherman’s Battery, considered tlie finest in the
Federal service, was unquestionably captured.
This was the firm opinion of all with whom we
conversed. The number of muskets and
meets generally, secured by the Conlederate
troops, is very large.
The wquuded men who cajoe down last night
excited the cOuimiseratiou aud sympathy of the
Cast crowd assembled. They will have every ue
cessary aiteution bestowed upon them. Some ol
them Were suffering severely, others si gbtiy hurt.
A getitl/miJu vviio witnessed the battle says the
balls Jew incessantly, like hail iu a tempestuous
duy. it was a terrific scene from first to last.
,-Suth a battle was never before fought on this con
tinent. When toe Federalists gave way Cuey
scattered like sheep, and their slaughter was
awful.
We could learu no names of the killed on out
side, other than those mentioned yesterday, ex
cept Col. Fisher, aud Mr. Fontaine, ot the Louisa
Gi a)s, The latter was a son of Col. K. Fontaine,
President, of Central Railroad Company.
It *as staled b) a najjsuiiger that the Scene at
tending tue arrival ol the Federal prisoners was
quite ludicrous. They tlneW themselves down
o*>on the wet ground, while the miutiu of the
utighbochupd stood Around in double rank aud
witu gnus erect, protecting them iu their repose.
The reports si) freely circulated yesterday of
t>is occupation o: Alexandria by our troops, were
in.founded i’ae pursuit of the fugitives was kept
up inr a few miles only.
Thu victory was Complete, and our Cougress
yesttrd y properly acknowledged their gratitude
to Almighty Gad, who has so signally blessed our
cause. Resolutions v/ere passed recommending
public thanksgivings in all our churches ou Sun
day next.
Sunday’s work—destruction ou scott’s regular
ARMY.
“ Scad me good troops, uotvoluuteers.” These
were the wor:la of General Scott to the Govern
ment, during his unlucky wars iu Florida; and
this was the sentiment ou which he acted iu pre
paring tor tlu* great encounter with the South on
Sunday last, lie had collected at, Washington all
the troops of the regular army on the east of the
Becky Mountains. The forces from Jefferson
Barracks and from St. Louis, with which lien.
Lyon had been hectoring for two months over tbe
people of Missouri had been brought to the Poto
mac. Tiie three lotteries of the regular army
khat had been sent to aid the column of Patter
son in its projected march into he valley of Vir
ginia—-a march, however, which Patterson did
uot effect—had been brought down for the work
ot Sunday, by a cunning stroke of strategy. The
whole forces of regular troops that had been col
lecting by degrees in Washington since February
last* hud been marshalled for this special service.
All had crossed over the Potomac and form
ed into the advancing column which was to
precipitate itself upou our left flank on Bull’s
Run, and enforce success by an irresistible coup
de main. In the column of thirty-five thousand
men which charged upon Johnston’s division, not
le stiiaureu thousand were thoroughly trained
the r.gular army, including all the
finest batteries of tiie Federal service, which had
been diligently brought together from long dis
tances for the special work of this important day.
It was an army of those “good soldiers,” with
which Geu. Scott delights to fight, and wnom he
i iu the habit ot thinking invincible against
j volunteers, that the little band of Southern troops
i who never were under fire before, literally beat to
death on Sunday. Our brave Southern volunteers
not only whipped their own number of Yankee
troops, but they whipped iu addition, ten thous
and forces'6f the’ regular United States Army.
The fifteen thousand meu under Johnston beat
thirty-five thou-an i of the enemy, including tne
be3t regiments and tbe crack batteries ot the
regular army of the United States. It is the tart
that this latter force was encountered, which ex
plains the terrific mortality that our colurnu
suffered. The day’s work cost us dear ; but it is
a performance that makes an everlasting record
for Southern prowess, as compared with Northern
instability and inefficiency in the field.
The fight, too, was in open field, and in fair en
counter. The enemy, recollecting bis . unpleas
ant experiences of Thursday, avoided our strong
works opposite Uentrevilie, on Bull’s Run, and
endeavored to outflank Johnston’s and vision, which
were posted higher up the stream, under the pro
tection of strong works at the Stone Bridge. To
meet and defeat this flanking movement, Johnston
marched out from his position at the Stone Bridge,
advanced a considerable distance to tbe front, and
met the enemy before he had made arv progress
id his flanking movement. Meantime feints were
kept up iu the most active manner against our
right flank and our centre. But the heavy ouset
throughout the day was continued against our left
flank ; and on that side the main battle was fought.
For seven hours did Johnston makegood his resist
ance agaiust more than double his numbers, com
posed in part of tne tiow’er of the regular Federal
army. Terrific as was bis loss, he still held his
advanced position, and was still maintaining a suc
cessful encounter with his adversary, when, about
four o’clock, Gen. Davis, finding tbe attack else
where upon our liues to be little more fhau a feint,
advanced thn centre to the support of Johnstou,
and decided the fortunes of the day.
It would be idle to apportion the credit of tae
day among our able and consummate Generals. —
The first praise is due to Gen. Beauregard.

SERENADE TO PR MSI DENT DAVIS—HIS SPEECH.
Richmond, July 3. President Davis, after re
peated calls, made a brief sdeech to night to a
large crowd assembled iu front of the Spottswood
Hotel.
He described the berois conduct of our troops
m glowing terms, and said that Lincoln must now
admit that there is ‘/somebody hurt.” Although
greatly superior in numbers, the enemy had been
routed, after a desperate engagement—all their
arms, tents and camp equipage falling into our
hands. After the battle had raged for four hours,
he (the Presideut) arrived on the field. The *re
suit was tlicii doubtful; but, being recognized as
the representative of their principles, the wound
ed waved their handkerchiefs, and cried “There’s
Jeff. Davis!” which created wild enthusiasm in
our ranks and a panic in the -ranks of the enemy.
From that moment the victory was secured. He
passed high eulogiums upon Johnston and Beau
regard.
Col. Chesnut also made a few remarks. lie de
scribed the unequal combat with graphic force.—
Scott had found it impossible to diue in Rich
mond at the appointed time. At Manassas, ou
Sunday, the seal of eternal separation had been
set, and never again would North and South be
united. Nothing could exceed the valor of our
troops, and, no matter who did it, Sherman’s
Battery had been taken. Beauregard, his eve?-
glaring, appeared in front of the lines, exposed
to the tire of the enemy and that of his own men,
the very personification of the “God of War.”—
But there would be more to do. Our soldiers
would tight, if the enemy would only let them get
at them. It was the duty of every man to per
form his part. Men and money would be required
to achieve a final victory.
The Savannah ot Thursday has the

BLACK REPUBLICAN ACCOUNTS OF THE BATTLE OF
MANASSAS.
Washington, July 22.— Sunday telegrams from
the station four miles from Bull’s run, claim that
the engagement along the whole line at 3 p. m.,
resulted in the Confederates retiring to Manassas
Junction.
A special to the New York Tribune says the
Southerners were 80,000 strong at the Junction,
with the addition of Gen. Johnston’g 17,000, which
marched in on Saturday night. This dispatch
claims that the battle lasted uine hours, and gives
the victory to the Federals, with great loss on
both sid^s.
Gen. McDowell was mortally wounded, and Cos!.
Cameron (brother to the Secretary) was killed.
The Confederates were rapidly reinforced from
Manassas during the engagement.
Quartermaster Pryor, of Miss., is reported to
be prisoner.
The Herald’s special says the battle commenced
at 3 a. m., and was desperately fought till 2 p. m
Also, that the Southerners were driven back inch
by inch.
The loss on both sides was frightful.
The New York Times’ correspondence, dated
Washington, Sunday, midnight, says the battle
was one of the severest ever fought on this con
tinent.
The New York 1 fire Zouaves were terribly cut
up, and forced to break. Col. Farnham and Lieut.
| Creiger are reported killed.
Col. Stevens and Capt. Towers, of Rhode Is
! lauu, were killed.
Gov. Sprague’s horse was shot under him, and
Maj. Ballou was seriously wounded.
A cannon hall singed H. J. Raymond, editor of

Special Dispatch to the Charleston Mercury.
Richmond. July 24.—The following is the ac
c: unt ot action on Sunday, at Stone Bridge,
got from an officer of Gen. Bonham’s Staff:
Bonham’s Brigade was In the centre at Mi*ch
ell’s Ford. This Brigade was composed of Ker
sbaw’s, Williams’, Cash’s and Bacon’s Regiments
of South C .roliutanrs, Col. Keller’s Louisiana R-g
iment and Col. Kirkland’s North Carolina Regi-
ment.
On the left of Bonham was General Cocke, at
Stone Bridge. This was when the fight began.—
After the battle had been raging for some time, at
Stone Bridge, General Beauregard ordered up
two regiments from Bonham’s Brigade to a*Biat
in repelling the enemy.
General McGowan bore General Bonham’s or
der for his tropps to advance. Kershaw's and
Cash’s Regiments, with Kemper’s Battery, were
sent forward. This was at the crisis of the battle 1
—probably about two o’clock As these troops j
passed on, thev were joined by Colonels Preston’s j
Regiment of Virginians of Cocke’s Brigade. They :
made a dashing charge on the enemy over every
thing. In this onslaught, being comparatively j
fresh these troops pursued the enemy upon the
hills/ Tb-y kept close upon the heels of the fly
! iug so down the road, almost along the whole
1 distance to C-ntreville, and, in this pursuit, in
conjunction with Rads rd’sCavalry of Virginia,
they captAred 21 pieces of field artillery.
About sunset the other regiments of Bonham a
Brisad- sn-rird, also, iu pursuit of the flying foe,
1 bv the Michell’s Ford road, towards Centreville,
! and took many prisoners aod some cannon.
The report of the death of Captain Burnet
Khett is untrue. He is safe.
The remains of Gen. Barnard E. Bee leave here |
to-morrow for Charleston. The name of this olfi
! cer deserves a place in the highest ntebe of fame.
He displaced a gallantry that scarcely has a par.
aUel hi nistorv. “ The brunt of ibe morning s bat
t tie was sustained bv his command until past two
o’clock. Overwhelmed by superior numbers, and
compelled to yield before a Are that swept every
thing before it, Gen. Bee rode up and down his
: lines, encouraging his troops, bv everything that
was dear to them, to stand up aod repel the tide
which threatened them with destruction. At last
i his own brigade dwindled to a mere handful, with
! everv field officer killed or disabled. He rode up
1 to Gen. Jackson and said : “General, they are
beating us back.” . , ~ ,
The reply was : Sir, we’ll give them the bavo
ne Gen. Bee immediately rallied the remnant of
i his brigade, and his last words to them w*re .
“There is Jackson standing like a stone-wall. Let
us determine to die here and we will conquer.
Follow me 4 .”
His men obeyed the call; and at the head of his
column, the very moment when the battle was
turning in our favor, he fell, mortally wounded.
Gen. Beauregard was heard to say he had never
seen such gallantry. He never murmured at his
suffering, but seemed to be consoled by the re
flection that he was doing his duty.
The following are the casualties in the Wash
ingtou Light Infantry, Company A, Hampton’s
J Legion—32 killed and wounded :
! Second Sergeant James H Gardner, wounded
in the arm. Privates A. G. W bitney, do.; George

Old Walton.
Mr. Editor: Yesteiday morning another com
pany of sturdy and resolute men arrived in our
city on their route to Richmond. To the question
whence they came, the reply was “ Old Walton.”
They looked like the staunch old county that
sent them forth ; quiet and manly in deportment,
justly representing her characteristics. This good
old lady, without any “fuss,” has done the State
some service. Three companies of her brave
sons are now in the field. They were equipped
with all the necessary appointments of a soldier,
and sent forth under the command of capable and
experienced officers, to meet our hated fde. The
first company is commanded by Captain George
Ililyer, a young gentleman ol distinguished abili
ty The second was organized by
by Col. G. T. Anderson, whose services in Mexico
were rewarded by a Captaiu’s commission in the
regular army, and who, at the election for field
officers, was almost unanimously cho.-en Colonel.
Fortunately for ilie company, an able substi
tute was readv in the person of the Ist Lieutenant,
a West Point man. Capt. Matt’Nonnelly has now
the honor of leading them. Did Walton’s third
batch passed yesterday tnrough our city—young,
vigorous and impetuous, *he has placed them in
ciiarge of a mini.-: r of God, the Rev. Captain, J.
\V. D Mcltea, under whose leadership they will
be taught not only to fight and conquer, but to
give ad the glory to that beneficent Power whose
proUcii g lutluence has been so often exhibited
in our behalf.
There is a uurselin/ at home, that is increasing |
in strength and ze every dav and will not much .
longer be restrained. Tne old lady will swan send
the n after their brothers—a noble band ot pa- ;
triots—ftlieti of tried courage, character ami re
spectabih y. wh > hesitate not about the maimer of
their a > ... pi ovided only it is towards the enemy.
li;i\ e •*• i..t reason to be proud of “old Wal
ton,” and to pray that her gallant sons may be
permitted to return unscathed, alter gleaning a
i ich crop of laurels, aod with the proud conscious
ness ot li.iv iig a-ai>te-i in the establishment of a
glorious independence ?

Jitters. Editors :—l see from your Daily of the

“If you do not think there is some danger ot au |
attack by the enemy on Big Shanty?” Jf “ignor
&nce is bliss,” surely “Enquirer” must be a happy j

The Captured Batteries. —The foilowin, from
the Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune, gives the first description which we
have seen, of the batteries taken by the Southern
trftops at the’buttle x,i Stone Bridge :
We have now Six batteries of firing artillery, I
three new ones having been added to those of
Capt. Picxetts, Capt. Ayres (who succeeded Major
ShermaD, and Capt. Griffin. They are officered
and manned from the regulars, wio have been on
duly at the Petomac* torts. Capt. Carlisle com
mands that of Fort Corcorn, which consists of
two rifled cannon, two 6 pound and two 12 pound
howitzers, and will be attached to Gen. Schenck’s
brigade, which will form a portion of the left wing
of the army ; that of Fort Runyon is commanded
by Lieut. Greer, and that ot Fort Ellsworth by
Capt. Arnold. These will be equal in metal and ,
men to Capt. Carlisle, and probably the former
will be :nthe Centre, and the latter on the right
wing.
Captain Seymour is preparing a siege battery,
which is to conaiet of enormous rifled cannon.— !
This will be in the column, probably the centre,
designed to operate upoD the fortifications oi Ma- j
iidd-d-. Junction, if they should be held when it
reaches there. , „ n ,
Griffin’s battery, stationed at the City Hall, de
parted for the other side of the river, provided
with rifle guns, 12-poundeas, an extra amount of
ammunition, aod an additional number of horses.
Captain Brewer’s battery arrived at seven
o’clock yesterday morning, direct from Fort Pick
ens. The battery consists of four pieces, 12 pound
ers, and S4 men. Another battery follows the
j above here to day.

—We are kindly permitted to coj>y the following
private letter fiOm a member of the Oglethorpes :
Monterey, Va., Jqly P.ith, ls6J.
Dear Father :—We have just arrived hereafter
a walk of about 150 miles, through rain andshiue;
slept on the ground without blankets or any
covering except what we happoued to have on.
It oqcured in this way : Alter four or five days’
skirmishing with the enemy, and two days, bom
bardment, Gen. McClellan sent to Gen. Gurnet to
surrender in five hours. He go* the demand in
the evening: at night we started the whole forced
on a retreat to Bevferl y, the rain fulling down in
perfect torrents. We walked all night, und at
diy light found we were within ti ’ e miles ot Bever
ly, where we came to a halt caused by, the block
ade of tbe road by the enemy, who had got in our
rear while We were lighting them at Laurel Hill.
Our only course, when we found the road oh
structed, was to turn otl from the turnpike and
take a small country roud to get around the ene
my;-which we did. We travelled all that day,
and at night camped in the rain, without any
shelter, for we had to throw away our tents the
night before,’ as they were too heavy for the
horses.
The next morning we started again. We had
not travelled more than five miles, and were
about to fold the Cheat river the second time,
alien we wen- attacked by the enemy. We got
our artillery to play ou them and repulsed them
We were attacked three times; every time the
Georgia boys them iu the fight.
TJiev cut off se.von companies that did not get
ucross the river, and a tew of our boys. We had
to leave oiir wagons and all of our baggage, even
our knapsacks.
We then coinmencud.a retreat which lasted till
to day, and i think tnm ut that march we have
epdureu uA imfcli hardship as, if uot mure, than
any other army that evrir beat a Feireul. llow
cver, we have ihe--consolation o’ knowing that we
Ri.led about OOd’of tiue enemy. We do not kuqw
ot a single •mail* of ours who was shot, except
Geq. G.imctt, who wu.- killed in the. last engage
ment. After he was shot, Cdl. Rjafnseyt ot our
Regiment/, took qdttiiuanrd of the three Regiments,
ana has brought us through sate and sound.
As j uifl writing, oue'ot the trussing ones of our
Regiment has come jn, and Reports dOUqt tho bb\ s
vvitmu 15 miles ol us. Tuey will come in to-mor
row. So much tor tlie tuinoiis fight and retreat.
We remain here t.vp or three weeks. Captuiu
Adam ifcaves to-nforrow nionnog lor Richmond,
aud per ap for Augusta. If so, you will uud out
all adorn the fight.
i’lease scud nit-, as possible, two shirts,

At. a meeting ot the rt Eariy Guards,” held in
Augusta, the 26th day of July, lbfll, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That the people of the city of Augus
ta, by their hospitality to the “Early (iuuidsj’
have endeured themselves to ours IbYevcft
Resolved, That while we receive the hospitality
und the deruoustrations ot good will and attention
to us and our wunttt, as origin ting more especial
1-y from their unbounded patriotism, we at Hie
Mime time recognize it as (brining an additional
link to bind ns and our county in .sisterhood with
our sister ciAinty of Richmond.
Resolved, ’That w hile such patriotism prevails
among the people of the South, the shafts of abo
lition will fall harmless at her feet.
Resolved, That the city papers be requested to
publish these resolutions.
A*New Georgia Legion. —Col. W. 13. Gauldeu,
of Liberty county, informs us of his intention to
raise a legion for the pending war. It is his pur
pose to raise not less than 1 oho nor more man
1,500 men, from the counties of southern Georgia,
comprising infantry., cavalry and artillery in just
proportions, and to oiler them them to Hie Presi
dent lor such service as will be most effectual In
aHI of Southern independence. The *idea is a
good one, and we may be permitted to say that
while we do not doubt, their entire willingness,
under the peculiar circumstances of the case, the
southern tier of counties in our State have not
contributed their full share to the public service.
They will now have an opportunity, and we hope
to see them embrace it with alacrity. Col. Gaiil
den has devote much attention to military science
aifd is enlisted heart and soul, in the cause of the
| South; they will hardly find a leader more careful
of their comfort, or more anxious to lead them to
glory. He w ill leave for Richmond to-day, in
order to perfect the necessary preliminaries.—

all descriptions, an abundance of ammunition,
and a full train of baggage wagons.
McCulloch and Jackson have retreated across
the Arkansas line, for the purpose of drilling their
troops. Their available force is placed at
including the Testas Rangers and a Mississippi
regiment. General .Lyon’s strength will be be
tween 10,000 and 15,000. The Jayhawke s under
Janneson, have been stationed on the State line,
below this place, some days. Janneson will main

be held subject to the order of the United States

[second despatch.]
Richmond, July *ji. —An intelligent aud reliable
gentleman from South Carolina, who was on the
battle held and who held u prominent position
says South Carolina liad seven regiments,
including Hampton’s Legion, in the battle. The
second regiment, Col. Kershaw’s, was in the hot
test of the* tight. Col. Cash’s eighth regiment
and Col. Kdtshaw’s regiment brigaded together
Col. Sloan’s fourth regiment was the first that
engaged the enemy. It was stationed three miles
to tne left of the other South Corolina regiments,
and, with the Louisiana troops, suffered consider
able.
Adjutant Wilkes, Lieut. Garland, and other of
ficers were killed. Capt. Poole was severely, per
haps mortally yvounded. Capt. Kilpatrick was also
wounded,it js feared sevrely. About a dozen ollicei s
and quite a number of privates were killed, but
the names are not yet reported. Col. William’s
3rd and Col. Bacon’s 7th, with Col Kirkland s
North Carolina and Col. Kelly’s Louisiana Regi
ments constituted the centre of the general line,
and held Mifchell’s Ford on the direct line from
Fairfax Conrt House to Mannassas. These Regi
ments were under a cannonade from suu rise until
sundown, but being entrenched they suffered
little. Just before sundown and when the right
wing of the enemy gave way they were ordered
to charge the butteries in their front which they
executed in gallant style, led by Gen. Bonham,
which the charge was made, the enemy promptly
retired and the loss of these regiments was small
They pursued the enemy to Centreville, and
took $9,000,000 worth of Federal property.
It is believed that none m these regiments w ere
killed and but few wounded. •
Col. Jenkins’ regiment was in Gen. Jones’ bri
gade, and situated some distance to the right of
the general line, near where the railroad crosses
Ball’s Run. They were not in the fight until late
in the afternoon, when they made an unsuccess
ful attempt to storm the battery on the extreme
left of the enemy’s line. Iu this gallant charge
they suffered considerably, but the particulars of
the killed and wounded have not yet been re
ceived.
I have not yet been able to obtain detailed re
ports of the killed and wounded in any of the So.
Carolina Regiments, or in Hampton’s Legion.
