This we believe is the third com pany from Harris, the seoond being now encamped near this city. Hon. Robert M. Patton has obtained a cotton subscription of 6,641 bales in the county of Franklin, Alabama, to the pro duce loan of the Confederte States.

The fibre is represented as fine and silky, such as would be classed fair. Toomhs a Brigadier General. Dispatches from Richmond announce the appointment of Hon. Robert Toombs, of this State, a Brigadier General, and that he goes immediately into active service. Private dispatches rocoived in this city yesterday, announce the arrival of Capt. Ivey’s company at Richmond, and that they were to be attaohed to Toombs’ Brigade. Respect to the Gallant Dead of Georgia. Gov. Drown has issued an order that as a mark of respect to the memory of the gallant dead from Georgia, who fell in the battle of Manassas, that at all public stations of the State, the flag of the Con federacy be hoisted at half staff the day after the receipt of his order, from sun rise to sunset, and that from reveille to retreat, half hour guns be fired. From the 7th Georgia Regiment. A dispatch from Col. L. J. Gartrell to Mr. J. I. Miller, of Atlanta, dated Ma nassas, July 24, says “Lieut. J. T. Wal ton was slightly wounded in the arm, while fighting gallantly. Puckett and six of Capt. Foreacre’s men were killed— my son among the number. Jas. F. Walton was not hurt. We lost twenty two killed, and one hundred and eignteen slightly wounded. The Seventh Regi ment covered itself with glory. lam wounded in the leg.” Worthy of Imitation. The Thomasville Enterprise says Mrs. Lucy Linton, wife of Major M. W. Lin ton, of Thomas county, has mannfactur ed and deposited with the Clerk of the Superior Caurt, for immediate transpor tation to Milledgeville, a stock of army clothing, consisting of 106 pairs pants, 104 shirts, 30 pairs drawers and half a dozen merino hose—these consuming all the material she had on hand. Mrs. Lin ton considers this, however, says the Enterprise, as only the beginning of her labors, as she is resolved to continue the good work for a long time to come. Daniel S. Dlclclnson. In tho address delivered by Daniel S. Dickinson, at Amherst College, recently, he is reported, by the New York Tribune, to have “declared himself for the mainte nance of the Constitution and for the integrity of the Republic, at whatever cost. At the same time, he expressed the folly of the Secession theory and the wickedness of the Secession practice; be took strong and decided ground for a zeal ous and speedy prosecution of the war, and was for peace only on the basis of the entire submission of the rebels.” He is now where the writer of this always he legitimtely belonged, hand and glove with Seward and Greeley abolitionism. What an idea—Support Lincoln and the Constitution ! ! The Charleston Mercury of Tuesday, ; says Capt. Stephen D. Lee, of the C. S. j A., who has been for some time Quarter- i master at that post, has been relieved from that service, and will proceed at once to Manassas to take command of the Washington Artillery—that splendid light artillery corps, from Charleston, which forms no unimportant part of Hampton’s Legion. He is a graduate of WestPoiut. The Mercury says his call to the com mand of the Washington Artillery is a j compliment of which he may well be | proud, and feels confident that if the op portunity offers, “the Lee Battery” will fulfill the high expectations which have been raised in their native city. Thirteenth Georgia Regiment. The following companies are to com- , pose the 13th Georgia Regiment, which will take the place of Colonel Semmes’ Regiment at Brunswick, now under or ders for Virginia: Wire-grass Minute Men, Capt.

Wise’s division whipped 2,500 of the snamy, killed 300 aud took many prisoners— among whom were five officers, and three of the Colonels. Major Patton was, we believe, in command of our forces, and was slightly wounded, but not at all seri ously. A New Georgia Deglon. Col. B. W. Gaulding, of Liberty coun ty, informs the editor of the Savannah Republican of his intention to raise a legion for the pending war. It iB his purpose to raise not less than 1,000 nor more than 1,600 men, from the counties ! of southern Georgia, comprising infantry, cavalry and artillery in just proportions, and to offer them to the President for such service as will be most effectual in aid of Southern independence. The Re publican says Col Gaulding has devoted much attention to military science, and is enlisted heart and soul, in the cause of the South; they will hardly find a leader more anxious to lead them to glory. He was to have left for Richmond Friday, in order to perfect the necessary prelimi naries. Col. Ector’s Regiment. Col. Walton Ector, who has recently raised a regiment in this State, which he styles the “Toombs Regiment,” (the sth Independent Georgia Regiment) was to have left the rendezvous at camp De catur last Thursday for Richmond. Hav ing tendered service to the War Depart ment at Richmond instead to Governor Brown, the latter refused to arm his regiment, and on this account the regi- j ment was detained for some time. But thanks to the God of Battles and the valor of our troops, last Sunday’s opera tions at Manassas, placed the Confederate Government in possession of an ample supply, and President Davis telegraphed him on Monday, to come on, that arms were abundant, the recent battle having put us in possession of 22,000 stands of arms. • The Richmond correspondent of the Charleston Courier, writing July 19th, mentions the following incident concern ing R.amsey’s Regiment of Georgians, as detailed by a Virginian : “It appears that a regiment of fifteen hundred Yankee Dutchmen advanced too close for comfort, when Col. Ramsey gave the order— ‘Boys, clean them up with your bayonet.’ In an instant five hundred were under way, trotting as fast as their legs could carry them. The Dutchmen did not stop to exchange compliments, however, but travelled over the country in a state of unalloyed agitation, the Georgians chas ing them into their very lines. Garnett was so delighted with this manoeuvre j that he threw up his cap, and exclaimed, i *God bless the boys—that's a feat worthy I of veteran soldiers.” Arrival of Gen. Fair. The Montgomery Confederation learns ■ i that Gen. E. V. Fair, of Alabama, late United Stale3 Minister to Belgium, passed through Atlanta, Thursday, en route for Richmond, Va. It is said he visits Richmond on important business connect ed with our Government, lie is just ‘ returning home from his late mission. He came through Canada, and from thence through the Western route by Cincinnati and Louisville, in order to avoid arrest by the Lincoln Government. Fighting in Northwestern Virginia j The Macon Telegraph says a private I | letter received in that city, dated Qauley’e ! Bridge, Fayette county, Va., July 16th, j says: “Gen. Wise dined with us yesterday. He says he has the jails already full of \ traitors, among them are two members of the Wheeling Bogus Convention, and two of the Ohio troops. General Wise will no doubt use hemp quite exten sively. He went to Charlestown yester day afternoon, expecting a battle to-day or to morrow.” Apostcript to the letter dated on the 17th gives the following stirring items: “Great fight at Philippa; 1100 of the Federals killed and wounded. “At Barbourvile, on the Ohio, 120 Fed erals killed and wounded yesterday, “They are fightiDg now at Cole’s River 13mile8from Charlestown.

Since our last issue, offioial returns from seven counties, to wit: Bryan, Bul loch, Clay, Floyd, Hart, Irwin and Mari on, have been received, amounting in the aggregate to 766 for ratification, and 321 votes against it The table published last week shows a majority of 161 for ratification, which is increased to 606 by the additional returns. It is quite cer tain the Constitution has been ratified by a small vote, as the remaining twelve counties will probably increase, rather than overcome the majority. The coun ties not yet heard from, officially are ! Camden, Chattahoochee, Coffee, Decatur, j Early, Fulton, Jefferson, Miller, Polk, Telfair, Wayne and Wilkinson. —Southern Recorder. Arfcanslans Flocking to Missouri. j The Washington (Ark.) Telegraph no ticing the departure of six companies from that place for Missouri, and the or ganization of others, says Arkansiacs are raising in legions at the call of McCulloch. It says “our sister State cannot be held in forcible subjection by Federal minions We said that when Missouri gave us the cry of distress, ten thousand men would be over the border. They will be now! i right soon. They are flocking to the north, hastily, impetuously, and burning ; with wrath. There is too much common ! blood between Missouri and Arkansas to | allow us to look upon her disgrace.” Indicted for Treason. We learn from the Macon Citizen, that James Milcher, a Northern carpenter, who has been residing in that city for the last two years, was undergoing trial on Friday, on the charge of using treasona : ble language. The Citizen says the evi i dence against the prisoner is conclusive | enough to the editor’s mind, and he has but little doubt as to the final result of the investigation. Cotton Factors to the Planters. The following card, signed by one hun dred and five firms in New Orleans, we find in the Picayune : “The undersigned, cotton factors in the city of New Orleans, in view of the interests of all patties, recommend to their various customers and correspon dents not to ship any portion of their crops of cotton to that city, or not to re move it from their plantations, until the blockade is fullyand entirely abandoned, of which event due notice will be given.

Wilcox, of the Miehiyan lleyi ment, taken prisoners --How Sherman’s Battery teas taken General Beauregard leading Hampton's Legion into action Manassas Junction, July 23.—1 am at length enabled to send you more ac curate and satisfactory accounts of the great battle at Stone Bridge than have hitherto-been obtainble. The number of the killed and wounded, however, owing to the extent of ground over which the battle was fought, is still uncertain. It is thought to be something less than 20(H) on our side, and at least 5000 on the side of the enemy. Col. Corcoran, of the New York 69th Ilegiment (peting as Brigadier General), has been taken prisoner by us. Also “General” Edward C. Carrington, a renegade Virginian, who accepted the post of U. S. Attorney for the District of Columbia under Lincoln, and who has made himself very conspicuous, since his appointment, in organizing the Aboli tiou officeholders in Washington into companies to fight the South. Carring ton is a nephew of the late Win, C. Pres ton. The Virginiaus are rejoiced that the traitor has been taken. The Fifth South Carolina Regiment, with the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Mississippi Regiments, under Gen Jones, charged the battery, at McClellan's Ford, at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and took two gt’.qs. The following are amoDg the casuali- j ties in Col. Cash’s Regiment. Lieut. Cook, Company 11, wounded.— Niue of Captain Harrington s Company (G) are wounded. Privates Ellaby, Cook 1 and Long are wounded. Private White. Company C, and Pri- j vate Dixon. Company F, are killed. Captain Harrington, of Company G, j captured lion. Mr. Ely, a member of the , Rump Congress from Rochester district, j ; New York He was acting as an amateur I fighter. Col. Kemper, of the Alexandria Artil- I : lery, when ordered to open on the enemy j I in support of Kershaw’s Regiment, called j out to the Butler Guards, “Butlers, wili j ; you follow me ?” They answered, immediately, “We ! j will, to a man.” They captured eight pieces (Shev- j i mans Battery). Col. Kershaw took a j J United Slates Surgeon prisoner. Co 1 . Wilcox, of the Michigan Regiment, j with cne Captain and three privates of the same Regiment, are prisoners in our hands. In all, over thirty U. S officers have been made prisoners. The prisoners concur in alleging that the impression j was general among the U. S. troops that j we would not fight. Thirty wagons, loaded with a large num ber (about GOO) prisoners, were brought. ;to Richmond to-night. Eight hundred j more, it is said, will come to-morrow, j Among them is Ely, an Abolition Member ! of Congress. j After Lieut. Col. Johnson was killed • and Col. Wade Hampton was wounded, i j Gen. Beauregard rode up in person, and ! j led the Legion into battlo. Each of the i companies behaved admirably. The Le gion lost in killed and wounded 113. Gen. Bonham is again at Fairfax Court J i House, 14 miles from Alexandria. When the fate of the battle balanced in : I the scale, late in the afternoon, and some I ; of Gen. Johnston’s regiments showed ; signs of wavering, he seized the colors j j himself and led the advance, thus turn- | i ing the tide of battle in our favor. El- j set’s brigade coming up about this time, I was mainly instrumental in charging the j : fortune of the day. Col. Thomas of Gen. Johnston’s staff, | was killed. Col. Mason, of the same 1 ! staff, was wounded. Gen. Ij,- K. Smith j wa's wounded. j Neither Captain Conner, of the Wash ington Light Infantry, nor Adjutant Bar- j ker, are wounded. Gen. N. G. Evans, who, in person, led ■ the first brigade into action, is unhurt. I Richmond, July 23.—1n the battle at i Stone Bridge, Generals Beauregard and Johnston commanded together, their rank being equal. Wo have taken in all sff guns, with caissons, horses, gear, etc., complete, 500 wagons with stores, provisions, etc., ! a large amount of ammunition, and small ‘ arms in great quantities. The woods and fields for miles northeast of Manas sas Juncton, were strewn with arms, knapsacks, and accoutremens left by the enemy in his flight. Trumbull, and other members of Lin coln’s Congress, were on the field with McDowell, fully provided with luxuries of every kind, with which to have celebra ted their triumph, but they did not carry these delicacies back to Alexandria. The number of killed on cur side is fixed at about 640. Our wounded ex ceeded 1000. The ammunition aud provisions captur ed are, it is said, enough'to last our army for six months. Gen fccott is reported to have been at Fairfax Court House during the opening of the engagement. ; Serenade of President Davis—His Speech. Richmond, July 23. — President Davis, | alter repeated calls, made a brief speech to night to a large crowd assembled in front of the Spottswood Hotel. He described the heroic conduct of our troops in 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 — ail of their arms, tents and camp equip ! page falling into our hands. After the ; battle bad raged for four Lours, he (the President) arrived on the field. The | result was then doubtful; but, beingrec I ognized as the representative of their | principles, the wounded waved their i 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 vie? tory was secured. He passed high eu logiums upon Johnston and Beuregard. Col. Chesnut also made a few remarks. He described the unequal combat with graphic force. Scott had found it iin ; possible to dine in Richmond at the ap pointed time. At Manassas, on 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 j taken. Beauregard, bis eyes glaring, appeared in front of the lines, exposed to I the fire of the enemy and that of his own men, the very personification of the “God of War.” But there would be more to go. Our soldiers would fight, if the ene my would only let them get at thenn It was the duty of every man to perform | his part. Men and money would be re quired to achieve a final victory. Special to tlie Savannah Republican. Richmond, July 24. —Our troops again : occupy Fairfax Court House and our scouts have been to Alexandria. Our men passed in and out without molesta tion. Had the pursuit been continued, our troops would have gone through : Washington to Baltimore. We captured another gun yesterday, in 1 the vicinity of Springfield, making in all sixty guns. Several hundred handcuffs, intended for our boys, were also captured. Colonels Hampton and Smith are doing well. The wounded are well cared for, having been sent to the towns in the vicinity. j Our loss in the late battle is about 300 j killed and 1200 wounded. Capt. Conner, of the Washington Light j Infantry, of Charleston, had 32 killed 1 and wounded. Hampton's Legion, of South Carolina, j had 20 killed and 90 wounded. Confederate flags are fiyiug in large ! numbers over Fairfax Court House. Stevens, Cashier es the Planters’ and ! Mechanics’ Bank of Charleston, received a slight flesh wound. The bodies of Gen. Bee, and Colonels Bartow and Johnston are lying in State at the Capital. Capt. Conner is unhurt. Ho led the remnant of the three Regiments in the pursuit toward Centreville. From Western Yirgina. From the Richmond Examiner. The strength of Gen. Garnett’s com mand in North Western Virginia was, in ; round numbers, 4,600 infantry, 10 pieces of artillery, and four companies of naval- j ry. These numbers ore from the.official return at the end of June, and represents the total present including, rick, dc. Os this number, 1.600 iufantry, four pieces ot artillery and one company of cavalry, were under Lieut Col. Pegram, at-Rich Mountain. 3,000 infantry, six pieces of artillery, aud 3 companies of cavalry were at Laurel Hill, under the . immediate command of Gen. Garnett. To have a correct understanding of the j differtnt positions, it is necessary to ; have a diagram of the roads, towns, Ac. The distance from Huttonsville to Bever ly is 12 miles; from Beverly to Ricli Mountain 7 miles; from Beverl.v to Lau rel Hill 15 miles; from Rich Mountain I to Bucklmnron 20 miles ; from Laurel | Hill to Philippi 15 miles ; and from Lau -1 rel Hill to Burlington 12 miles. The position at Beverly is not capable jof a good defense. It cm be turned ea sily. Rich Mountain was considered a remarkably strong pocitioo, and even now with a reasonable force, could be defended against twice the number ne cessary for its defeuse. Laurel Hill, though not so strong as Rich Mountain, is a position. Gen. Gartiftit expected re inf. rcements; 3,000 men were on the i-oid, but bad not reached him wlu-n the attack on Rich Mountain was made. On the sth of July the enemy took a position at Burlington in from of Laurel Hill, and a day or ’w ■> aft .-r wards, a ! large force apjyaie-; in !> n f <>f Rich I Mount-i n in* nnn nnti ; the 10th i of J lily • mi-diing -f’ the two pieces j was c-.ntiitHMpy going or, with consider able sucre s on our put. we having lost at Laurel Hid but one min killed and one taken prisouer, and three wounded, while the enemy had lost as many as 25 Ou the evening of the ’t)th, one of cor pickets took a pi .ot*;.. ,vbo stated that Gen. Harris w is in front • i’ us with seven regiments iw.-t six pieces of artillery.— ! Putting the regiments at 800 each, this | would give 5,000 infantry, besides artil- j ; lery and cavalry. | On the morning of the 11th inst , Gen. 1 Garnett received a note from Col Pegram, : at Rich Mountain, saying that his pick- j j ets hc.d that morning taken a prisoner, ! who stated that there were in front of Rich Mountain 9 Regiments, or 7,000 men, and a number cf pieces of artillery, since ascertained to be considerably more* than 12; that Gen. McClellan had arrived in camp the evening before, ami had giv | eu orders for an attack for the next day ; i that General Rosencrantz had started the ! night before with a division of the army, 3,000 strong, by a circuitous route, to take him in rear, while McClellan was to attack in front; that he hud moved a i piece of artillery and 300 men to the | point by which Gen. R. was expected, i aud that he had requested Col. Scott, ■ with his Regiment, to occupy a position 1 on the path by which Gen. R. must come. ! As soon as Gen. Garnett received this j uote, he sent a written order to Col Scott I to move to the point indicated by Col. ; Pegram, and to defend it at all hazards; | that if he was. forced back, he was to block the road between Rich Mountain and i Beverly, and dispute every inch of it. About half past five, p m., on the 15th, ! a messenger came from Col. Pegram’s | camp, who stated that Pegram had been I attacked in his position by Gen. Rostn : crantz, and after about three hours’ fight, ’ Col Pegram had been killed ; also, Capt. | DoLagnier. who commanded the artil lery; and the little band of 300 men, j after losing about one-fifth cf their num j ber, was dispersed in the woods. This ; | statement, with the exception of the 1 ; death of Colonel Pegram and Capt. De | Lagnier, proved to be correct. Captain I De Lagnier was severely wounded, but his body has not been found, nor is be a j prisoner. Colo.nel Pegram’s horse being ! wounded, became entirely unmanageable, and, to save himself from being taken I prisouer, he threw himself from his horse and was much bruised; this gave rise to i the rumor of his death. On finding bow j matters were going, Colonel Pegram, ! finding himself with 3,000 men under I Rosencrantz in his rear, and 5,000 in front, endeavoured to escape with the remainder of his command; one part of it, under Major Tyler, succeeded in es caping ; the other, about 500 in number, under Col. Pegram, were compelled to surrender when it was found that Gen. Garnett had evacuated Laurel Hill. As soon as Geueral Garnett heard of the result of the engagement at Rich Mountain, he determined to evacuate Laurel Hill, as soon as night set in, and retire to Huttonsville via Beverly’. Af i ter leaving Laurel Hill, information was brought to General Garnett that Colonel Scott, with his Regiment, had retreated beyond Beverly towards Huttonsville, without having blocked the road between llich Mountain and Beverly. lie imrae diately sent forward a party of mounted men to perform this work. On arriving ! within four miles of Beverly, he found that Ins orders had been misunderstood, and that the road was blocked from Bev I erly towards Laurel Hill, and that orders had been sent to Colo Del Scott to block ; the road between Beverly aud Huttons | ville. The choice then had to be made j between retreating by the St. George road and a mountain road into Hardy county, and thence to Monterey, or re treating by Beverly, cutting out the blocking as he went. General Garnett determined that it was safer to try the former course than to cut out the road in front of him and attempt to pass by Bev ; erly, only seven miles from General Me i Clelian. On the second uay of the re ; treat, soon after leaving camp ou a branch of the Cheat, the pursuing enemy came up with and attacked our rear guard, consisting of two Regiments and three pieces of artillery. The skirmishing | lasted from 7j a. m. till about 11 p. m. Four companies o.f the Georgia Regiment i were cut off, but made their way across ] the mountain and joined the command in : Hardy county. The captain in command \ states that, after finding the enemy were I between him and the rear guard, he re turned towards the mountains; that on his way he made prisoners of some Penn ; sylvania troops, who told him that the j , loss of the enemy exceeded 300 durirg ! i the day. The Captain and his command j I having to keep concealed, he says that he ! saw the enemy burying their dead nearly all next day. Gen. Garnett was killed about half ! past one p. m., and by a’most the last vol- | ley that was fired. Our loss consisted of one hundred missing, many of whom will make their way across the mouata : n, ! about 20 killed and wounded, a number of baggage wagons used to block the road to ■ prevent the advance of the artillery of the ; enemy, and odb piece of artillery, which ] was abandoned in the retreat, the tongue having been broken by the killing of some of the horses. The piece was spiked. ( The command is now at Montery, has formed a junction with Gen. Jackson, j and will soon (in a day or so) be ready for the field again. Our line of retreat j passed within seven miles of West Union, ‘ where there was a force of the eDemy, and at Oakland another force. It was 1 confidently expected that we would be ! attacked there. Pegram’s loss at Rich Mountain was about 40 killed and GOO prisoners. American Laconism. Gen.

From the Richmond Examiner, of Tuesday, i THE GREA.T BATTLE. The particulars of tin- great battle, fought on Sunday, are yet indefinitely known. The di. : patch sent by llio President of the Southern • Confederacy to Congress is triumphant in tone, and indicates a splendid success; but it con ! tains few details, aud doe-, not state the extent of the pur suit-made by our troops after a thing i foe. He says that one portion of the enemy ! retreated towards Leesburg, the other towards j Centreville; and that our men pressed after them, but, as Centreville is but four miles from Stonehridge and Butt Run. near which the main battle took place, it does not appear that tire President was-informed yesterday morning of ; the result or length of the pursuit. Centreville is the strategic point, and the only j one, between Stonehridge and Fairfax. The j neighboring country is plain; Centreville is an | eminence, and some fortifications had been I erected there by our own troops, while in their i possession, which have doubtless been | strengthened by the enemy since they have i occupied it. The main battle, was fought near the Stone j bridge over Bull Creek. Our army, like that of I the enemy, was seriously engaged only on the I left. The forces of the centre and the right skirmished heavily, bnt did not close. The I enemy made their “attack on the left. General Johnston commanded there only fifteen thou sand men: the enemy brought thirty-five thou sand upon him. It is obvious, that their plan was to force the left and then attack the centre and the right from the flank. Their troops ; elsewhere waited for this event, which never i transpired. Thus only one-third of our army j was engaged in the battle, and under desperate odds. Well did they meet them. Neither ar j tiilery, nor the bayonet, nor charge on charge. was ol anv avail against the steady valor of that ! army which had manoeuvred so long between Winchester and the Potomac. At tlie close of the day the assailant was exhausted and disor dered; an advance of our lines converted their vacillation into a precipitate flight. The official statement declares that the country around is strewn with their arms, their dead .and their wounded; that many State flags and one stand ard of the United States are in our possession. It does not estimate the numerical loss of the enemy nor our own. Our information on this point, which we have good reason to think is correct, is this: We have 400 men killed and 1200 wounded—a total of 1000. We have taken t!4 cannon from the enemy, in winch is included the whole of Sherman's Battery and one Parrot gun of uncommonly heavy calibre. But we are unable to present an estimate ol‘the enemy’s loss with, the same confidence. It is certain that it was very great—four or five times that of our own army, as it must necessarily have been, when they fell under the double disad vantage of being at once the attacking and the routed column. All accounts agree that the burden of the day fell on the corps of General Johnston, whose strategy in the Northwest lias occupied so much attention in the last few weeks. That able General lost ground in popular estimation i by his continual avoidance of a general'action i with Patterson. The event proves the wisdom j of his conduct. He kept Patterson at bay by ! his manoeuvres; had he engaged, his force would have been weakened even by a victory, and perhaps disabled for this more serious | occasion. Had he boon defeated, bis men : would have left on the field the weapons which • we could not replace, and the battle of Sunday would have only been another retreat of the | South. At the end, his position was in many | respects similar to that of Marshal Grouchy, j near Waterloo. Both were left to check an | army which equally disappeared from their ! front at a given moment. Grouchy remained j in hesitancy whether to follow it or stay where ! he was, while all the horizon was red with a ) lurid light, and the ground quaked under the i distant cannon—the cannon of Waterloo! So i did not our Virginia General. When Patterson j disappeared his resolution was taken, l-'or strength with strength doth sympathize. i He went straight to the field where the mortal j struggle was about to be, and there won a name I lor history. The battle of Sunday was the huge Duel be tween the North and the South. On that field the former nation had at last the occasion to make good that menace, so often repeated, that eighteen millions would 1 ways whip eight millions. Thirty-five thousand of their best troops were then routed by fifteen thousand tired Southern soldiers; and the question of In iative manhood is forever set at rest. But !lie battle of Sunday does not decide the war. It presages a dire struggle soon to come. The j telegraph by New Orleans will tell Scott that i j Jefferson Davis commanded the Southern ! battle. Against him he is inflamed with a well j known personal hatred. He will be stung by the murmurs of the North and the gloom of Washington. Os the army just engaged lie has still two-thirds or 60,000 unhurt. The telegraph will soon bring up his reserves from Cincinnati and other places. He can control an army of 100,000 men; and with it, in a few days, he will make a great effort to retrieve his disgrace. His genius is unquestionable, his resources formidable, and every nerve should now be strained to send on all our available reinforce ments to the scene of action. Special to the Charleston Mercury. Richmond, July 24.—The following is ; the account of the action on Sunday, at Stone Bridge, got from au officer of Gen. i Bonham’s staff: Bonham's Brigade whs in the centre at ; Mitchell’s Ford. This brigade was com | posed of Ker.-haw’s, Williams’, Cash's ‘ and Bacon’s regiments of South Cardin | ions, Col. Keller’s Louisiana regiment, j and Col. Kirkland’s North Carolina regi ment. On the leftt of Bonham was General Cocke, at Stone Bridge. This was where the fight began. After the battle h;d been raging for s r me time, at Stone Bridge, Gen. Beauregard ordered up two regiments from Bonham’s Brigade to assist in repelling the enemy. Geu. McGowan b >re Gen. Bonham’s | order for hi3 troops to advance. Ker | shaw’s and Cash’s regiments, with Kern- I per’s Battery, were sent forward. This was at the crisis cf the battle—probably ! about two o’clock. As these troops passed on, they were joined by Col. Preston’s i regiment of Virginians of Cocke’s Bri ! gade. They made a dashing charge on I the enemy over everything In this onslaught, being comparatively fresh, these troops pursued the enemy upon the | hills. They kept close upon the heels j of the flying foe down the road, almost j along the whole distance to Centreville, ! and, in this pursuit, in conjunction with ■ Radford’s Cavalry, of Virginia, they ! captured 21 pieces of field artillery. | About sunset the other regiments of | Bonham’s Brigade started, also, in pur j suit of the flying foe, by the Mitchell’s Ford road towards Centreville, and took many prisoners and some cannon.

The brunt of the morn ing’s battle was sustained by his command until past two o'clock. Overwhelmed by superior numbers, and compelled to yield before a fire that swept everything before j it, Gen.

At last his own bri | gade dwindled to a mere handful, with j every field officer killed or disabled. He | rode up to General Jackson and said: “General, they are beating us back.” The reply was: “Sir, we’il give them the bayonet,” Gen.

An Incident in Baltimore. i The Baltimore correspondent of the 1 Richmond Examiner relates the follow i ing : • An incident that happened in the i streets here the other day both amused i and instructed me. As one of the North ! ern Regiments passed through the streets, a young girl had fixed in the upper wiu i dow of a house on their route a Confede rate flag of her own mauu r acture. The officer in command, 6tung with patiiotic jealousy by the sight, and emulating the example of Ellsworth, the hero, hurried to the house to snatch down and bear away the trophy. He was met at the door by the heroic girl. He commanded her to take down the flag, when she cool ly and confidently refused to do so. He attempted to pass her, when the girl j confronted him, and in a steady tone, ! warned him not to pass the thresbhold, ! that “she was armed.” The heroic ad | venturer, thu9 brought to a halt, gazed for a minute in baffled surprise at the i slight and beautiful defender of the flag of the South, and suddenly turned on i his heel, growling the excuse that, “if ( she was not so d—d good looking he would take the flag down anyhow .” That girl might be a Charlotte Corday in certain circumstances. The ladies of Richmond are making extraordinary efforts for the comfort of the wounded. The New# In Sat a nnali- An 1,,, ~ rtenf. .

It whs in the month of July, 1814, that the famous battle of Lundy’s Lane was ! fought. There Gen. Winfield Scott wt>n j his first laurels. There his star rose in I the ascendant, and iu the ascendant it j has remained until the mon'h of July, j 1861. For nearly half a century he has j been the military head of the country, and any campaign or movement planned by him was deemed morally certain of being successful. But the prestige of success is now broken, liis star went | clown in blood at Manassas, on the night lof July 21st, never to rise again. It rose iu July, on the batte-field, when he ami those with him were fighting a foreign foe. It has set in July, on the battle field, while his men were fighting the | soldiers of his native land. It was fitting that Virginia, which gave him birth, should be the scene of his disgrace and downfall, and that the same day of the week—Sunday—the same month in the year, and nearly the anniversary, of the day when he achieved his greatest suc cess, should also be the day and month when the sceptre should depart from him. There seems to be in all these things the workings of retributive justice.—Mont gomery Advertiser. I More Troubles In Mexico—Tire Cap ital under Martial Law.
