COLCMBUS, MONDAY, Alfil'ST U. ISSI.
The Rutsell Cuuuly \olunteers,.,. \u luritlcut.
We have been shown a private letter written
by a member of the Russell County Volunteers,
• dated Union Ford, Roll Run, Aug, 2i>ih, from
wiiieh we make the following fxiraet*. The
writer is a native of Vermont, hut has the true
Southern “grit,” a* hi* conduct has demonstra
ted. The incident below related, transpired on
Saturday the 2iUh nil., the day preceding the
groat battle :
••.lust us wo hu l commenced cooking uur
breakfast, a Lieutenunt of the M untgonury
(Ireys, came tearing up, his horse all covered
with fi-aiu, with the announcement that thf?
eaemy hud erected a battery, and were throw
ing a bridge across the .'(ream a mile below, In
a minute, our company, the Opelika company
aad the In-L-pclendeut Rifles of Montgomery,
were ordered to fall iu and march under C'aj f.
Waddell, to dispute the crossing until reinurce
iu:uts could arrive. We seized our guns in one
h tnd and ur half cooked meat in the other, and
started for the bridge. You would have laughed
to see nearly every uiau with a piece of half
done meat spitted on a sharp stick marching in
to what u nexpected to boa desperate light, but
three days diet <,t raw meat had taught us to
value even hull’ done meat and we would have
fought a regiment rather than Use it. W o went
in quick lime to the position designated, but no
bridge, or ign of bridge was to be >een. We
••ouicd op .nd down the creek, and no enemy,
. r trace ui one, was to he found, it wa- one ot
the strongest cases of mental hallucination cn
record, tor he (the Lieutenant,) insisted he could
see them after our arrival, and tried to point
them out to us. this alarm was communicated
t . lien Beauregard, and checked the advance
movement he had intended for that day. He
railed back some forces that had advanced and
cut reinforcement# to . The next morning the
enemy came down 100.000 strong Who knows
but the revolt o( the battle would have been very
d.derent, had Beauregard crossed the creek and
attacked the enemy, as he would have done had
Dot this alarm prevented Who knows Imt in
that event we might have been cut to pieces I
think a a< ‘ear case of Providential interference,
nor am I alone in the opinion that had beau re
gard advanced and given them the choice of
p >-iti->n, we would have been defeated

Frew the same letter we take ‘he following
extract sbowiug the part which the above com
mand u*f which the Russell Volunteer* wore a
part,) performed on the 21st:
“About J o’clock, I\ M., our brigade, i,al'o
men, under lien. Dwell, u part of the reserve,
received orders to crop'* the creek and attack
the dank of the enemy, distant about two and a
half mile- We had commenced the march, had
cro.aedihi creek and approached within a mile
of the enemy, when the order was countermand
ed an J wo were ordered to reinforce the left wing
of our army which was hard pro- ted and giving
hack (we were on the extreme right.) The point
to which wo were thu9 ordered, was nine miles
distant from the ford. This will give you Some
idea of the exteut of the fighting. \\ e marched
to the light about and made one of the most ex
traordinary inarches on record the whole bri
gade uver one of the driest and dustiest roads
I ever traveled. We passed in the rear of the
whole line of battle. Wo saw the enemy iu:tn
u-uwring, their cannon firing -at one time we
were within three hundred yards of a regiment
who ran up a white Hag which was not seen till
the brigade had passe.l, when they scanpered off
at double quick.
We felt some of the enthusiasm of a battle, for
u h min welcomed ua with a cheer, even the
poor wounded, who could scarce lilt bis head bM
os do our duty as they bad done theirs and the
field would be woo. Marching so long in full
view of the battle tho men were wrought up to
tbe highest pitch of enthusiasm and cheer after
heer went up an we quickened our .steps almost
to a run. Rut just before arriving at our posi
tion, the enemy gave way along their whole line,
and wo were not thrown into the battle. We sat
down to rest and congratulate each other upon
the hards. flight battle and the splendid victory,
when the news came that the enemy were ma
king for the ford which we had left entirely un
protected. Rack again we starlet!, straining
every nerve to reach the point before they did,
knowing iftbey did occupy that position in force,
that splendid victory was all for nought Our
orders were to attack and drive them back at all
hazards. When we had marched ab->ut half way
a courier announced that they had retreated,ami
we slackened cur pace We arrived in camp a
idtle before y o'clock P. M , having marched 20
mile® a..me-ay 22 mile 8 , between 4 o'clock and
y o'clock.

House in this city on Saturday, for the purpose
of electing delegates to the Gubernatorial Con
vention which will assemble at Milledgeville on
the 4th pros. The meeting was orgaui-ed by
calling B. A. Horsby to the Chair and appoint
ing dames W. Warren Secretary.
Prefacing thorn with a few remarks, lion. Al
fred Iverson offered the following refutation.-:
Resolved, That in the opinion of thi* meeting
it is expedient aud proper that a Convention of
the people of Georgia be held for l he purpo ol
uominatmg a candidate for Governor at the next
election.
Resolved, That we approve <JT the Ith of p
timber next as the time, and Milledgevllle h*
the piece of holding said Convention.
Resolved, That wo recommend that each Coun
ty be entitled to cast as many votes in the Con
vention as the same bad Senators and Repre*
-••ntalive.’ in the last Legislature.
Resolved, That tbii meeting proceed in the
usual way to seleet a delegation from Muscogee
county, consisting of— persons, who shall cast
the votes in said Convention to which our county
may be entitled, and that in easting ueb vole or
Votes, the delegates arc requested to act as a unit.
Resolved, That we consider it expedient that
said Convention should also nominate un electo
ral ticket to cast the vote of Georgia In the next
Presidential election of the Confederate States.
Resolved, That we ugge t the propriety of a
enatorial Convention for ’he counties of Musco
gee, Cbattahooehee and Marion, to bo held at
< uveUx, on the first Monday of . epiember, for
the purpose of nominating a candidate f• -r Sena
tor f said district in tbe'next Legislature
That we recommend that each of
the said counties he entitled to a delegation
consisting of three times the number of Senators
and Representatives which said county had in
the last Legislature.

Chattahoochee (hall agree with the proposition
f,,r a district Convention, the people of Musco

Asa substitute to the foregoing Hon. G. K.
Thoiua* presented the following:
We, a portion of tb* people es the county of
Mu*. .gee, here to-day convened, according to
public notice, to select delegates to the ensuing
Gubernatorial Convention, believing, a* we do,
that all Howitnehm/ convention! are wrong in
principle, and work badly .in practice, do hereby
enter this, our formal and solemn prote-ta again#
fell such Conventions, and all such nominations.
Therefore, Ist Resolved, That in the sense of
this meeting, it is inexpedient, at this time, in
the present critical condition of public affairs,
to send delegates to the said Convention, as it
wdl probably revive party •pirit, divide our
people, and weaken and impair our moral and
political strength.
2d. Result el, That we disclaim being bound
by any nomil ft’ion of said Convention whatever.
2d. •Resolved, That we lo upon principle dis
approve of all such dictatorial policy, all such
.-aucus contrivances, all such party machines:
leading as we fear to corruption and the destruc
tion of our free iostitutione, and we here pledge
ourselves to vote for the man of our choice,
whether nominated or not, by said Convention,
aid that its action shall not determino our course
of conduct, in any wise whatever, in said elec
tiOß.
After some discussion by the movers of the
respective resolutions, in which each gentleman
presented his views with characteristic earnest
ness and ability, a motion was made and carried
to lay the substitute . n tho table.
The question was then taken un the passage
of the original resolutions and carried by a
large majority.
On motion of Judge Iverson a committee was
appointed by the Chair to suggest to the meeting
suitable delegates to the proposed Gubernatorial
Convention. Messrs. Iverson, Sloan, Dozier,

Tlir .\itions Watchword,. ! IVace!! IVarc!!! j
Theanuie - upon either side of this terrible civ
il war have been successful and have met with !
repulse. Both have shown a terrible front; yet
Dauber has proved invincible. It is hardly p. ’ i
ble to exaggerate the ability of either to'cripple
aud injure its antagonist, n the contest should
be continued for years, the only effe. t of it
would be utter ruin- perhaps anarchy and
bloodshed over tho whole country. More likely
foreign governments will step in aud resist that
we shall keep the peace . , they may assume a
protectorate over the nation.
1 n view of these contingencies, the people ~f the
North should rest satisfied with their laurels of
war, and demand of their rulers un armistice to
• •pen proposal- for peace. There is nu imme
diate pr. speet ot carrying out the programme
of Southern subjugation why not try another
tack ‘
Among th.reflation* adopted at n large
meeting of the friends of peace at Warner* ille,
N. Y., a lew days ago, wore tho following
Resolved, That we earnestly desire tho perput -
“Alton ut the .States, but in (he language of the
Into lamented S. A. Douglas, wo believe “that
war is disunion,'’ aud that if the Union bo con
tinued it must be upon the principle upon which
it was i<>ruied, to-w.l the voluntary consent of
its members.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the present
war policy ; that we iucereiy believe it - effect
will be to drive the remaining slave States from
the Union, exasperate the whole South, consoli

render a reunion impou.-.ible.

ilaiK Bin Fiohtino Eaonu Tho three
lu rilli’ men have had fighting enough, and are
nowon tboir way home. The Baltimore Ex
change say* :
During Sunday night, two regiments came
from Gen. Butler'.: command, near Harper's Fer
ry, and returned to their homes by way of tbe
Northern Central Railway. They were the 20th
and 21st Bennsylvauiu regiments, and had on
listed for three months under Cols. Grey ami
Balber.
The 2d Wisconsin regiment, having served out
the three months tor which the men were enlis
ted, came up from Washington last night, on
their way home. The Gth Massachusetts regi
ment, Col. Jones, the same which was attacked
on the 19th of April in their passage through
BraU street, and which has for some time been
encamped ut tbe Relay House, will pass through
ibis city this morning en route for their homes,
ifietr term of enlistment having also expired.—
Capt. Cook's battery of Boston Light Artillery
will also return home this morning. The horser
anti guns will be put.on board the cars ut Mount
Clare station, near their encampment, and they
will pass through the city hy rail.
The 1 ;tb Pennsylvania regiment left their en
cam potent yesterday morning about M o’clock, and
marched by way of Baltimore and Exeter -(reels
to tbe President street depot. On their march,
they were occasionally cheered, and, on an av
erage, from one hou e in each square occupied
by dwelling*, a Mag or handkerchief was waved
from the windows. The members of tho regi
ment, however, made no response to any demon
stration, but t assed along apparently rejoiced
that they were on their way home. Bui very
few ofdhi regiment will re enlist, being, like
the members of the 7th New York, contented
with what they have already seen of the war.
SdrA Richmond correspondent of the Mont
gomery (Ala.) Advertiser says:
I have found that Georgia money is much
more readily exchanged here than Virginia, and
for my own part would much prefer it. Bills on
any good bank in tbe State of Georgia, Alabama
and South Carolina are good here and in any
part of the State.
[From the Now York Times,]
Cause of (he Mersl Stampede at Manassas.
In reviewing the causes of the recent disaster
at Bull Run, it may bo set down that we us
sered most from two extremes of action—tho great
cowardice and the great courage of regimeutal
officers. All information concurs in the general
statement that the field was full of bravo man,
but that they lost their officors, or lost Fight of
thorn, and became utterally disorganized and so
ded, as any great body of men will do iu the
presence oi'danger, when they lose the confidence
of mutual support. The primary cause of conlns
ion was tho break of a regiment or two before a
charge of cavalry. If these regiments had been
well officered aud thoroughly drilled, they, or
the remants of them, might have been re-formed
on the field of battle. But there was no rallying
point and no recuperative power in these regi
Monts, aud when oncobroken they scattered wid*
| ly ami spread the contagion iu every direction.
First one, then another was involved in the
j tumult; till an entire division ofthe Army became
a flying mob. In the mixed and miscellaneous
herd, so many broken regiments and companies
conspiring to swell the retreating column, no
officer was generally enough known to effect a
rally, and so tho flight continued. Nevertheless,
it is sufficiently in proof Unit individuals, not by
virtue ofthe command as officers at all, did here
ami there induce small bodies of men to make a
Garni and pour steady and effective volleys into
the pursuing enemy. These few exceptions wore
men evidently formed by nature for loaders, and
J their achievements show that we had true men
■ enough in the fight, but that they were literally
I driven ti. ui the field from tho lack of good lead
! ership, und courageous and -killful hand!
ing.
1 Thc’regiuicnt in the critic and :hock of battlelosi
their c.-miuading officers. The cowards ran
away, and the brave one* rushed too recklessly
into the tight, and fell. And thus the men were
deprived of their known leaders, and were thence
t -rw ard as sheep without a shepherd, aiuid raven
ing wolve*. about as liable to run into danger as
"it of it. The battle became a riot -an organized
band on one side and a disorganized mob on the
other, and, :t* usual in such cases, the mob
fled, lb,; cry being “the devil take* tho hind
most.”
Imuunai. Mac kinks. -The correspondent of I
t’e New Y ork Tribune at Fortress Monroe, un
der date of July 24, says :
On Monday an infernal machine, probably a
contrivance similar to the one that eauio ashore,
w i seen to explode on tho Boads nearly in the
track of the (earners that ply between Old Point
and Newport New- A column of smoke was first
seen to rise, and then another column of water,
followed by a violent agitation of the surface for
a considerable distance around. Those who saw
it had no doubt of its infernal character. The
contrivance that floated ashore indicated (hut two

Lincoln's Blockade.
A reliable gentleman, at present sojourning in
this city, who, from bis connection with and
knowledge of political affairs iu Great Britain, is
very likely to bo fully acquainted on any topic
that ho may presume to discuss, said yesterday
that the British Consul in Richmond had been
informed, or would soon he, by Lord Lyons,that
the latter bad received advices by acourior from
Rear Admiral Dundus, commanding the British
squadron off’ Charleston harbor, notifying the
British Minister at Washington that, in accord
mice with instructions from his Government, he
had oxumined into the blockade established hy
Lincoln's vessels nt that point, aud such exami
nation hud couviuccd him that it was iueflootive
and by tho law of nations null und void, llis
determination, therefore, was to enter tho port ol
Charleston with his fleet at an early day,desplto
any pretuuded opposition that might be offered
to bis so doing, fha facts tho Admiral reques
ted Lord L>oiu*t • lay before Hun. Win. 11. Sow
ard, Lincoln’# Prime Minister, who i* reported
“U the same authority lo have “waxed exceeding
wroth,” und threatened the British Empire with
all tho vengeance capable us being bestowed hy
the Army and Navy ofthe late United .’ lutes.—
Wo trust those tidings may be verified. The act
ol Admiral Dundas doubtless inly proceeds the
rocuguilmn of Southern independence by a few
weeks. The world does inoie.— litchmund L)it
