jKauasßF.it Fining.
We are left in some doubt ns to the
precise locality of our army in tho late
battle at Manassas or “Qrovcdon.” The
most definite information we have being
that furnished by telegraph, which ap
pears in our morning edition. Tho dis
patch locates (he battle between Bull
Run aud Manassas Junction, north of
the Alexandria railroad, and between
that and Warrentcn Turnpike It repre
sents the junction of Jackson and Long,
street’s divisions as forming an obtuse
angle, with the forces of tho enemy be
tween them. Take, therefore, a large V,
invert it, and extend the two lints form
ing the angle to about twice their usual
width, and you have the position of
Jackson and Longstreet’s divisions—
Jackson on the left and Longstrcet on
the right—one wing extending in the di
rection of Centreville, and the other in
the direction of AVarrenton—with the
enemy at Manassas Junction in front, his
line extending iu the direction of Union
Mills on one side and Bristoe on the oth
er. The fight cammeuced on the AVar
reulon Turnpike—Jackson’s line of the
angle—where the enemy tried to turn his
flank, but were driven back with terrible
slaughter. Longstreet then threw for
ward a portion of his foroes, supporting
it by the slow advance of his whole line,
when the battle bceamo general. Jack
son again moved forward and gave battle,
and the enemy wero attacked on every
side, when the enemy were driven back
three miles. One dispatch says the ene
mies force in this engagement consisted
of McDowell’s, Seiglcs’, Banks’, Morells’,
McClellan’s and Pope’s divisions. It is
fair to presume, therefore, that the whole
available force of the enemy was engaged.
Northern papers contain news from
Alexandria to the 29th—the second day
of the battle—which represent Pope as
being ‘‘beyond Manassas.’—i. e. on the
Richmond side—“and completely cut off
from Washington. The same account
represents a large Confederate force at
Leesburg. It is probable, therefore, that
the remnant of tho Yankee army will
fall back to their gunboats at the mouth
of the Occoquan and make the greatest
speed possible up tho Potomac for their
“National Capital.” It remains, how
ever, to bo seen what part Stonewall
Jackson will play in this race for the
“National Capital.”
lOtsHnnHlisg Hunter's Negro Bi Igmle
In Roiitlr Carolina.
The Northern papers give the follow
ing account of the disbanding of the ne
gro brigade raised at Port Royal, South
Carolina, by Gen. Hunter :
The negro brigade organized by Gen. Hun
ter has proved an unmitigated failure. Out of
eight hundred contrabands on tho muster
roil, there were some live hundred who “ske
daddled,” and many of the remainder felt -~o
uneasy under military control and discipline
that they watched for opportunities to escape
On Saturday afternoon last, a rumor prevailed
around Hilton Head that the famous
brigade would be disbanded that afternoon
The rumor of the disbandment proved cor
rect, for Gen. Hunter had dispatched an adju
tant and several officers to Elliott’s plantation
where the brigade was in camp. ’
On the arrival of these officers their purpose
soon spread through the camp, creating the
wildest joy among the “soldiers.” The frag
mentary remnant of the brigade soon fell in
to line, and were officially disbanded. They
were delighted, but not mere so than the
white troops. The ex-soldiers rushed to and
fro, and were soon busy in making prepara
tions for their homes in Beaufort and other
places.
The discharged negro regiment was styled
the “First Regiment South Carolina Volun
teers,” and, on being disbanded, were furnish
ed with papers declaring them free forever,
and also their wives and children.
The vast number of contrabands brought
from Edisto and Stono, together with those
imported from Georgetown, has made some
pro vision for their employment necessary.
They are accordingly, to be instructed in the
fine arts, so far as they relate to the construc
tion of tubs and baskets.

A correspondent of tho Augusta Con

Gen. Toombs, it is said, has been re
stored to his command. This is as it
should be, and as it was thought it would
be when Gen. Longstreet was made ac
quainted with the facts' under which Le
directed his regiment to prepare their
food for a long march.
| From the Richmond Examiner of Wednesday
The Late Battles at Manasaaj.
Passengers by tho Central railroad,
now almost our only source of informa
tion from our armies at Manassas,
brought down vnih them yesterday
evening uo well authenticated intcili
gence from the great battle of last Sat
j urday. At the time of their leaving
[ Gordonsvitio it had been telegraphed
| thither from Rapidau station, that par
! tieipants in the battle had arrived at the
J latter place, bringing intelligence, of the
death of Siegel, the mortal V7cunding of
General Pope and McDowell, aud the
capture by our army of Beven or nine
thousand prisoners. This is all we could
gain of a later date than Thursday, the
twenty eighth
But among the passengers were several
gentlemen who participated in the fight
of Thursday. From them we have the
first intelligence though neither full nor
satisfactory, accouul of the locality of
the great three days battle, and tho po
sitions occupied respectively by the op
posing forces. The battle was fought on
the piaii»3 of Manassas, our forces occu
pying the identical positions occupied
by the enemy at the beginning of tho
ever memorable battle of the 2lst of July,
1801, and tho enemy occupying tho posi
tions held by us on that occasion. We
will lay before the reader Hie account
wo have received of the movements by
which wo took this position, aud the bat
tle that ensued on the day subsequent to
cur occupancy.
Ou Monday, Gen. A. P. Hill moved
down from tialein along tho Manassas
Gap railroad, and ou Tuesday took pos
session of Manassas Junetiou, capturing
several hundred prisoners aud eight or
ten guns. Gen. Ewell followed Gen.
Hill, and Gen. Taliaferro commanding
Geu. Jackson’s old division, followed Gen.
Ewell. Gen. Taliaferro reached Manas
sas Wodnesday evening just as the troops
of Ewell and Hilt were evacuating that
position and falling back towards Bull
Run in the direction of Centreville.—
Geu. Taliaferro occupied Manassas, und
made a enow of throwing out heavy pick
ets towards the enemy, who was at iiris
tow station, on the Orange aud Alexan
dria railroad, five miles distaut in a
southwesterly direction; but shortly af
ter nightfall, calling in his pickets, ho
aiso fell back towards Cenlrevilie, and
took a position near Groveton, where he
remained all night. His position was to
the right of Gens. liiil and Ewell. At
dawn the next (Thursday) morning, oc
casional reports of cannon aud musketry
begun to be heard towards the loft, which
wero kept up at intervals until evening.
Still no enemy had yet been seen on the
portion of tho field occupied by General
Taliaferro’s division. But about five
o’clock, P M., they were suddenly borne
down upon by several heavy columns of
the eneuiy, uuejhcviag, it was
20,000 men. The fight was opened on
both sides with artillery; at first at long
range, but gradually the enemy drew up
his batteries to our lines. By six o’clock
tho distance between combatants had been
reduced to musket range, and the fight
along the whole lino of Talliafetro’s, Ew
ell’s and Hill’s divisions became general.
The enemy fought with great obstinacy,
being inspired, it is thought, by the sup
position that they had caught Gen. Jack
son in small force, and had an opportu.
nity cf crushing him. But as often as
they charged our lines they wore driven
back with thinned ranks without being
abio to rnovo ua from cur position. Fi
nally, night closed over the scene, and
the enemy retired from the conflict.—
The battle was, however, kept up until
nine o’clock fcy tho artillerists on both
sides.
Our men rested on their position (hat
night, and on Friday morning moved for
ward a mile in the direction of the en
emy.
Our loss in this battle is estimated at
between 800 and 1000 killed and wound
ed. The enemy’s is known to have been
more than double that number. We note
the few casuaiities that have come to our
knowledge. Gen. Taliaferro was struck
three times in the beginning of the action,
in the foot, neck and arm. The two first
very slight, but the last a painful though’
not dangerous wound. The General con
tinued in command until the close cf the
action.
Gen. Ewell was shot through tho knee
with a Minie ball. Tho bones were so
badly shattered as, in the opinion of his
surgeons, to render amputation necessary
When our informant saw him ho was be
ing borno from the field on a Liter to a
hospital in tho drcciion of Aldie, prepar
atory to the operation.
The wounded have all been removed to
hospitals established near Aldie, in the
county of Loudon.
It was stated last night, upon apparent
ly good authority, that after their defeat
on Saturday the enemy fled towards Ed
ward’s on the Potomac, near Leesburg,
whither they were pursued by a portion
of cur victorious troops. Another report
prevailed to tho etlect that a portion of
our army were in Alexandria.
- FROM WASHINGTON.
Gentlemen who left Washington on Sat
urday night last, reached this city yester
day morning. They bring startling in
telligence. They say when the defeat of
the Northern army was known in Wash
ington, both the citizens and the author
ities were thrown into the wiliest and
most awful panic, and all persons of se
cession proclivities became at once bla
tant. Every body was hurrying lo and
fro in hot haste, and every thing was
in confusion. They also assert posi
tively that the Long Bridge and the
[ Aqueduct over tho Potomac had been
blown up to impede tho advance of Ike
■ Southern armies.
Late Northern papers, especially tho
Cincinnati Times, represent that tho Fed
ral troops are evacuating Corinth, and
all tho points in that vicinity south of
the Tennessee river. All the stores
there, it is said, are being removed as
fast as possible.
Samuel Smith, cotton broker, 11 Man
chester buildings, Liverpool, reports that
through the month of April several car
goes of cotton, amounting to 5,000 bales,
reached Liverpool, from Confederate

| Greeley’s 110,000,000 of Malcontents
-Wliat tliey Sny.
A few days ago wo briefly adverted to a
letter addressed to Lincoln by ono Hor
ace Greeley through the columns of tho
N. Y. Tribune “in the name of twenty
i million” of the American people. We
gave Mr. Lincoln’s letter in full, but had
not room for (hat of Greeley’s. We now
give a brief review of some of the points
made against Abraham by the man of
the Tribune.
The “twenty millions,” speaking
through Groeley, charges the President:
with willfully refusing to execute tho
laws (meaning the confiscation law, and
that law only so far as it relates to
slaves.) They say:
e think yen are strangely and Uisa.strou.s
ly remiss iu ilie discharge oi your official im
perative duty with regard to the emancipation
provisions of the new confiscation aci.”
••t he “twenty ihiHions” say that tliey believe
tlie only way to end the war is to abolisit slave
ry, and quote as authorities ior this belief uot
only professed 'Republicans, but -.such emi
nent loyalists as it. Winter Davis, i'arson
Brownlow, the Union Central Committee of
Baltimore, and tiro Nashville Union.” They
add tliatau “intelligent Union Banker of Bal
timore ’ has been recently heard to say “that
it majority of tlie present Legislature of Mary
land, though elected as aud still professing to
bo Unionists, are at heart desirous of the tri
umph of tlie Jell. Davis conspiracy, aud when
asked how they coutd he won hues, to loyalty,
ho replied, “Unly by the complete abolition of
slavery.” “T wenty millions” cannot resist this
weight of testimony. 'They are surprised that
the President is not equally open to convic
tion.
’The “20,000,000” complain that tlie Presi
dent treats traitors with altogether too much
tenderness und with it forbearance that does
prejudice to tho dearest rights ol' loyal men.—
m a word, not lo put too hue a point ou it, air.
Lincoln is a “sympathizer.”
Tu further proot of the deplorable fact, the
“twenty millions,” speaking through Mr. il.
Greeley, charge that the President is “unduly
iutiueneed by tlie counsels, the representa
tions, the menaces oi 10.-sit politicians hailing
lrom the Border Stales,” when it would bo so
much better tor him to draw ail his inspira
tions, civil, political, social, religious, econom
ical, and especially military, lrom the concave
mirror and parabolic reflector of the universe,
tiro New York Tribune. The “twenty millions”
had expected better tilings of Mr. Lincoln,
but, according to Air. Greeley, they are deeply
pained and disgusted by tlie President's “mis
taken deference to rebel slavery,” and by his
shoiT-sißhtodness in not having seen how to
einl Uiu.,war before it, began, Oa tliik point tlie
“twenty millions” say:
“We complain that the Union cause lias suf
fered, aud is now.siiflering iguominiously, from
mistaken deference to rebel slavery. Had you,
sir, in your inaugural address, unmistakably given
notice that, in case the rebellion already commenced
wen persisted 111, and your efforts to preserve the
Union and eltji rec the laws snouti be resisted by
armed force, you would recognize no loyal per
son as rightfully held in slavery by a traitor,
wo believe tho rebellion would lmvo received
a staggering if not fatal blow.”

Baring Robbery.
A daring robbery was perpelratcd on
Monday night, at the Wuvcrly House,
King-street, by which a Mr. Frederick
Marsh, a Kentuky refugee, was relieved
of about $2,100 in specie, five hundred
dollars in bills, a gold watch valued at
5500, aud several other articles of minor
value. It seems that Mr. Marsh arrived
in our city Friday from Augusta, accom
panied by two individuals, who, by their
skillful address, gained an introduction,
and ou arrival hero, put up at tbo samo
hotel with Mr. Marsh. The latter uot
liking his new companions, removed to
tho Waverly House, hoping to rid himself
of their company, lie had been there
but a few hours before, to his astonish
ment, tho samo individuals applied for
rooms, expressing a wish to remain at
the same house with their friend during
their stay iu the city. Ou Monday night,
as above stated, they entered the room of
Mr. Marsh, who awoke to find one of the
robbers standing over him with a revolv
er, while tho other was engaged search
ing his clothes and rifling his trunks.
Oa Mr. Marsh making a motion to rise,
tho scoundrel at his bed side fired ona of
the barrels, the ball fortunately lodging
iu the wall at the head of tho bed. lie
then warned him to keep quiet or he
would blow his brains out. Having se
cured their booty, the fellows decamped
and were observed by some of tho board
ers who had been aroused by tho noise
of ilia discharge of the pistol. They
made Iheir escape, however, and have,
so far, avoided arrest.
Officer Kicks has arrested oue individ

The Situation In New Orleans.
Advices have been received at Jackson,
Mississippi, from New Orleans, as late
as Monday last. They confirm the pre
vious reports of the terrible mortality
among the Federal regiments in the city,
which, according to their own showing
was as follows: Massachusetts, 12 per
week;-Maine, 12; Vermont, 10; Indi
ana, 8. Total per week, 42.
The Mississippian states that the ena
tire mortality in the city the same week,
deducting the above, was one hundred
and fifty-eight, and adds : The average
mortality of tho city at this season of
tho year, is from 150 to 200 per week in
a population of 150,000. The loss of the
Yankee regiments, namely, 42 per week,
would give at least 40,000 men (taking
the average mortality as a criterion),
whereas this mortality instead of being
due to upwards of 40,000 individuals, is
duo to less than 6,000. Massachusetts,
Maine, Vermont and Indiana have not
got 6,000 in New Orleans. When New
Orlean# was captured, the Indiana regi
ment numbered cue thousand, and all
their regiments were reported full. Sev
en of these were stationed at Baton
Rouge wheu the late attack was made,
and if Gen. Williams had only twenty
five hundred troops in that battle,.* forty -
five hundred must have been siok, or
have died. There is no doubt, howover,
but that tho Yankees had a much larger
force in tho affair than they have repre
sented.
The gentleman who conveyed the above
information to Jackson, thinks that all
that is necessary to exterminate that por
tion of the Yankees who are sent to ex
terminate us, is to look them up in New
Orleans, and that is now effectually done
with tho force under the command of
Gen. Butler—the battle of Baton Rouge
baa lockod them up. They are now
afraid to spread about and take fresh air
as formerly, lie ulao thinks the attack
of Geu. Breckinridge will very nearly
destroy the whole command of Butler. —

that they are nsw huddling, like so many
little chickens, under the wings of the

Fredcrkbilnirg Kvncuntctl by tlie
Line my.
A gentleman who left Fredericksburg
ou Monday afternoon reached this city
yesterday, with intelligence that tho
Yankees evaouated the place on .Sunday
evening last, aud departed in the direc
tion of Aquia creek. They had been
engaged for several days in the work of
destroying all the property in their pos
session, and tho Federal commander,
Kingsbury, previous to leaving, trans
•Tcrrcd tho government of the town to the
civil authorities, and advised them to
place a force of citizens on guard Sun
day night to protect private property
from plunder by tho army stragglers.—
This advice was followed, and nearly
every citizen kept watch through the
night. The enemy sot fire to the three
bridges, which were much injured by
explosions of gunpowder placed there
for the purpose of blowing them up. —
Large fires were seen burning during
the whole night on the opposite side of
the river, in Stafford, where all the ex
pensive depots of provisions, commissary
stores, bakeries, tents, &c., were located.
They were all destroyed, together with
tho largo barn of Major Lacy, on the
Chatham estate, which was filled with
stores. They accomplished their work
very thoroughly, as if they had no In
tention of returning. A letter from a
citizen of Fredericksburg says that
refugees can safely return to their homes
and families. Wcvcral men of Union
proclivilics, including J. W. Huunioult,
editor of tho Christian Banner, went
with the Yankees.— Rich. Ex. 3 d.

From the Vidette.
Here’s Your Mule.
Johnson went to Gallatin one day,
To capture Morgan’s train,
Upon a mule whioh oft would stray,
While Johnson pulled in vain.
His mule and men they all were gone,
Before noon of that day;
Tho mule' was heard of all along,
That’s what the soldiers say.
The soldiers who now in a laughing mood,
On mischief wero intent,
They hid muiey in tho wood,
VVhile ou and on tliey went.
Through this hole and that they crawl
Jvu'il one—and made a rule,
To shout with humorous voices all,
Kay Johnson, here’s your mule.
Alas, that day the mule, was missed,
Ah, who could tell his fate?
Wliile Johnson, like a man bereft,
Searched early and searched late.
And as he passed from house to house,
With stricken face—the—coot—
Cried out to every one he met,
On, Mister where’s my mule?
t ome, stop, cried Duke, do stop, old man.
And don’t be made a fool,
Gano told Grenfell down the lane,
John Morgan’s got yourmule.
