Resume of the Battle of Stone Bridrje —.l/a// of the Positions- The Attack iu the Mommy—Ad vauce of the Enemy—Arrival of oi r Reinforce ment*— The Rout—Chary* of 11 am to Bey ion —Death of Gen. Bee. Richmond, Angus* 1, ISfil. Few among your readers, probably, have any idea of the situation of the late buttle field at Stoue Bridge, or of the relative posi tions occupied by the two contending ar mies. I have, therefore, prepared a rude diagram, which, though imperfect in its lines, angles and proportions, will with the aid of a picturesque imagination, enable them to comprehend something of the gener al military movements which opened and closed that gloriously eventful Sunday. To go more into faithful details than I have already done is impossible, and at the risk of repetition. I only give you such leading facts as may be necessary to place the scene and subject clearly before the mind. This diagram may be seen in the Courier office.—[Eds. The eye will take in a glance the relative position of the two forces. The enemy oc cupied the heights and woods East of Bull Run from Centreville to Union Mills, to the number of nearly forty thousand. The Con federates were stationed from the Stone Bridge, on the West side of Bull Run, to the front of the right wing of the Federal ists, the dense woods along its borders effec tually screening both parties from observa tion. General Evans was in connmul of our extreme left, resting upon Stone Bridge, supported by the brigades of Bartow, Bee, Cocke, .Jackson, Bonham, Jones, Lougstrcet and Ewell —the latter being on the extreme right, and the others stretched along the Run. The enemy were under the command of Gen. McDowell, who had divided his for ces into three columns, two of which were intended to amuse aud occupy us in making feints along the Run at the various fords, where our batteries were planted iu greatest profusion, while the substantial work, which consist, din turning our left wing, w t us to be done by the third. You will therefore understand the demon stration which took place from sunrise until half-past eleven or twelve o’clock upon our centre at Mitchell’s Ford. The Yankee General industriously displayed large masses of his troops along the edge ol the woods on the top of the hill, and for six hours bom barded every bush, thicket aad group of individuals within range of his rifled can non, without eliciting a response. If is ob ject, therefore failed. Our silence was more than contemptuous. Mcanewhile the enemy, under command of Gens. McDowell and Hunter, advanced from Centreville, in a column 125,000 strong toward our left wing. Instead of march ing direct upon Stone Bridge, however, where we had expected and prepared to meet them, they diverged from the main road, and proceeded to cross the Run, two miles aud a half above, at Sudley’s Ford. (The point is indicated.) As we were unpre pared to oppose them at this point, they were speedily enabled to take possession of the heights, till the woods, and plant their forces in battle array. It was plainly evi dent that the bold, dete; mined movement was beiug made to get behind us ; aud that, too, with the best lighting material of the Northern army —the Zouaves, the Irish Six ty-Ninth, the Scotch Seventy-Ninth—the Rhode Islanders with their steel rifle guns, the Wisconsin marksman, and other crack regiments, in front. The force of that one division, with its half dozen flying batteries of artillery, was not less than fifteen thous and. To meet them we had what? A mere handful of choice spirits, comprising Col. Sloan’s Fourth South Carolina Regiment, Col. Wheat’s Battallion of Louisiana Tigers, and two guns ol the Latham Battery.— These (Jen. Evans threw directly upon the advancing front, and here they fought as men never fought before, with the tenacity of bull dogs and the desperation of men who had the memory of homes and kindred in heir hearts. There they stood until almost ecimated by the hail from right and left, dolding for a time that immense living mass h check. But the tide rolled on, and though subsequently supported by Jackson, Cocke, Bartow, Bee and other brigades, step by step was the little army compelled to fall back. But the fighting continued.— New positions were taken, now new heights occupied, aud new batteries opened. Every inch of ground was fiercely contested. — Meanwhile the enemy were slowly pushing forward their flanking movement, their tracks marked with the mingling life cur rents of friend and foe, which gushed out at every foot step. The day began to look dark and gloomy. Forebodings trembled in a thousand hearts. Many of our best officers had been killed or wounded. Bartow, Bee, Hampton, Fisher, Jones, Johnson, Gardner, hud been borne bleeding from the field. The men were wearied with marching, fasting and lighting, while reinforcements arrived late. Fifteen thousand had contended against three times their number for nearly five hours, and still the storm of battle was undiiniuished in its fury. At this critical junction, Gen. E. K. Smith, with a brigade of twenty five hun dred troops leaped from the cars and appear ed upon the field, fresh, vigorous and un daunted. Never was a blessing more op portune It was like a gracious bow of prom ise in the hitherto darkened heavens. How eyes brightened, and cheeks flushed, and nerves grew strong, and hearts beat quick with joy as the gallant phalanx, with a cheer, swept into view. Johnson, iu the fullness of his feelings exclaimed: Our Blucbcr has arrived !” And so it appeared. The brigade halted a moment for orders.— Cash and Kershaw meanwhile added their regiments to Smith’s command. The enemy was before them. “Forward men of the South —victory or death !” rang along the lines, and with a shout that seemed to shake the earth a dashing charge was made upou the advancing columns. The onset was furi ous. A sheet of flame flushed out from a thousand steady rifles; the artillery poured forth messengers of destruction that marked their pathway with long lines of dead and dying; groans, cheers, aud the short, quick commands of the officers, mingled with the din of conflict, and for few moments in the desperate struggle which ensued it appeared as if the turuing of a hand would have deci ded the fortunes of the day. But God was with us. t Standing as long as they could the fiery tornado, the es4*y at length began to waver. Another volley—another advance by our forces—a defiant cnebr—and our foes were turned aud iu full retreat. Such was the crisis of that terrible battle, upon which hung our prestige and success. I nfortnnately, Gen. Smith was wounded soon after he armed upon the field. Had it not been tor this casual ity, he would have kept, on iu the direction he had advanced, and with the aid of other forces, divided the Federal army and cut the fragment to pieces. But “ man proposes aud God disposes.” The flank ol the enemy once forced, the day was ours. The captured guns were turned upou the retreating col urn us. Cash and Kershaw followed in close pursuit.— Kemper’s Artillery, Hampton’s Legion, and the Cavalry were added at the Stoue Bridge, aud from this time forward, until late in the night continued the frightful and paralyzing route and details of which have been given in previous letters. Thousands fled by the way they came at Sudley’s Ford, anu dis persed through the country to make their way to Washington as best they could; but the main body followed the road loading to Centreville, in which they were mown down by scores until within a mile of that place. As it will interest many of your readers, I have indicated in the above diagram the point where the Hampton Legion, supported by Withers’ Virgiuia Regiment, rushed through the gardeu adjoining the farm house of a man named Henry (the son of tbe old lady who was shot by three of the myriads of balls which riddled their residence,) au d charging down the hill a distance of two hundred yards in the face of a terrible fire, captured two guns of Ricketts’ or what W:IS formerly known as Sherman’s battery. Col. Hampton having been wounded just at the door-step of the house, the command of the Legion devolved on Capt. Conner as Acting Colonel, and Capt. Gary as Lieutenant Col onel, under whom this portion of the day’s glory was achieved. It was the latter officer who first enjoyed the pleasure of straddling one of the pieces—a very excursable way un der the circumstances of expressing a superb satisfaction. These and other features of the battle have been so fully described in other com munications, that further allusion to them is unnecessary. \\ ithout lingering longer upon this branch of the subject, J leave you to run the shuttle of memory from scene to scene of the eventful day, and with the warp I have furnished, to weave a complete and connected fabric. Who will say there are not threads of gold it, deeds of heroism, by the living aud dead, aud glo rious sacrifices for the common cause, that w ill grow brighter as they will grow old, and endure in the Southern heart as lonjj? that heart beats ? But amid the pleasing contemplations of the victory and its results, what solemn asso ciations cluster in the mind when we remem ber the loved ones who have been striken from our homes and social circles. Many a death's seal has been sot on ashy lip and marble brow, that only yesterday, as it were, were instinct with life. Their voices yet sound in our ears, their last look and word linger with us, and we oau almost feel the pressure of the parting grasp, as they went buoyantly forth in the vigor of health to meet their country’s foe. To day how all this is changed ! The calm impress of an eternal sleep is upon them. Their dust has become saered. They have laid their lives upou our altars, and all that remains for our consolation is a precious memory and an il lustrious death. In this connection I cannot forbear recall ing an affecting scene which took place du ring the last hours of the lamented Gen. Bee. While participating in the thickest of the fight, a ball penetrated the groin anti passed upwards in the region of the stomach. He was at once borne from the field to a neigh boring hospital, and after a temporary rest there removed to Manassas, where an apart ment was provided for him in the hotel.— Among those who called upon the wounded General on the day following, was his old friend, Col. Tupper, of Charleston, who was on the Staff of Gen. Smith, and himself slightly hurt. Bee was lying on a mattress, culm, composed, and evidently not in much pain. Aware of his approaching end, he was engaged in dictating to one of his Staff his last missive to his family, being so ab sorbed in this task that he appeared not to observe the slightest movement which trans pired around him. At intervals he would drop away into a dreemy kind of repose and seem to sleep, but by a preconcerted arrange ment his Aid would touch him slightly in the centre of his forehead with the point of his pencil, when iho General would recover his faculties and proceed. In due time this labor of love was finished, and he turned his attention to the company present. Col. Tupper was among these, and as the hands of the two men met for the last time, Bee gently drew him down so as to be more dis tinctly heard, while Col. Tupper bent upon his knee and laid his face upon that of the dying man. The latter then said :•* Colonel, our acquaintance lias been of a very pleasant nature. It’s hard to part where friends are so dear, but I must soon leave you. God bless and protect you.’’ With others of his friends he also exchanged brief words of part ing. Shortly afterwards, the dying General asked to be raised in bis bed, which being done, with his hands clasped, eyes burning with an almost supernatural light as it be already looked upon the glories of another world he repeated a verse, but unfortunately I can only give the last two lines. My spirits sours to meet its (rod, 1 die in the arms of victory. With these upou his lips, the hero was laid back upou his pillow and without a struggle sank to bis eternal rest. He hud emphatically carried his life in his hand and the grace of God in his heart, and when the messenger came, it found him ready and willing to obey the sunwnonds.— Death to him was no fugged patn. He had No earthly dinging No lingering gaze No strife at parting No sore amaze; But sweetly, gt-ntly, He passed a*ay From the world’s dim twilight To endless day. PEKSONNE.

The correspondent of the Charleston Cour ier gives the following description of the feel ings of a soldier for the first time on a bat tle field : No person who was not upon the ground and an eye witness of the stirring scenes which there transpired can begin to compre hend from a description the terrible reali ties of a battle ; and even those who partici pated are competent to speak only of their own personal experience. Where friends and . toe?, are lalliug by scores, and every species of missile was flying through the air, threatening each instant to send one into eternity, little time is afforded for more ob servation or reflection than is required to preserve personal safety. The scene is one of the most exciting and exhilirating that enri he conceived. Imagine a regiment pas sing you at “double quick,” the men cheer ing with enthusiasm, their teeth set, their eyes flashing, and the whole in a frenzy of resolution. You accompany them to the hold. 1 hey halt. An Aid-de-Caiup passes to or from the commanding General. The clear voices of the officers ring along tlie line in tones of passionate eloquence ; their words short, thrilling and electric. The men feel like giants. Ihe word is given to march, and the body move into action. For the first time in your life you listen to the whizzing of iron hail. Grape and canis ter fly into the ranks, bombs burst over head, and the fragments fly all around you. A friend falls ; perhaps a dozen or twenty of your comrades lie wounded or dying at your feet; a strange involuntary shrinking steals oyer you, which it is impossible to re sist. Y r ou feel inclined neither to advance nor recede, but are spell bound by the con tending emotions of the moral and physical man. Jho cheek blanches, the lip quivers, and the eye almost hesitates to look upon tlie scone. Tu this attitude you may, per haps, be ordered to stand an hour inactive, havoc meanwhile marking its footsteps with blood on every side. Finally the order is given to advance, to fire, or to charge. And now, what a metamorphosis. With your lirst shot you become anew man. Personal | safety is your least concern. Fear has no i existence in your bosom. Hesitation gives way before an uncontrollable desire to rush into the thickest of the fight. The dead and dying around you, if they receive a passing thought, only serve to stimulate you to revenge. Y'ou become cool and de liberate, and watch the effect of bullets, tlie showers of bursting shells, the passage of cannon balls as they rake their murderous 1 channels through your ranks; tlie plunging ! of the wounded horses, the agonies of the ; dying, and the clash of contending arms which follows the dashing charge, with a ; feeling so callous by surrounding circum- | stances, that your soul seems dead to every sympathizing and selfish thought. Such is the spirit which carries the sol dier through the field of battle. But when the excitement has passed, when the roar of musketry has ceased, the noisy voices of the cannon are stilled, the dusky pall of sulphur ous smoke has risen from the field, and you stroll over the theatre of carnage, hearing the groans of the wounded, discovering here, i shattered almost beyond recognition, the j form of some dear friend whom only an hour before you met in the full flush of lile and happiness; there another, perfora ted by a bullet; a third with a limb shot j away; a fourth with his face disfigured ; a fifth torn almost to fragments; a sixth a headless corpse; the ground ploughed up! and stained with blood; human brains ‘ splashed around ; limbs without bodies, and bodies without limbs, scattered here and there, and the same picture duplicated scores of times, then you begin to realize the hor rors of war and experience a reaction of na ture. The heart opens its flood gates, hu manity asserts herself again, and you begin , to feel and act more the man and less the demon. Friend and foe alike now receive your kindest ministerings. The enemy who but a short time before, full of hate, you were doing all in your power to kill, you now exert to save. Y'ou supply him with water to quench his thirst, with food to sus tain his strength, and with sympathizing words to soothe his troubled mind. All that in human or charitable in your nature now rises to the surface, an i you are ani mated by that spirit of mercy “which bles seth him that gives and him that takes.’’— A battle field is eminently a place that tries men’s souls. Allectiiii; -Singular iitffof Brothers, Camp near Manassas, July 27th, 1861. To the Editors of the Dispatch : I, togeth er with several other gentlemen from Mont gomery, a day or two ago, witnessed one of the most singular, and at the same time most affecting incidents which will probably occur during this vnhoiy and unnatural war, if it should last for twenry years. We were straggling over the battle-field, exam ining the ground upon which we had such a bloody conflict and won such a glorious victory, two days before. We came unex pectedly into the Centreville road, and see ing a house upon our left with the usual sign betokening a hospital, one of our party being a physician, expressed a wish to get down and examine the wounded. Upon inquiry we learned that a stable just below the house contained thirteen wounded Yan kees; we forthwith proceeded to the stable, and upon entering found a Washington ar tilleryman seated by the side of a wounded soldier evidently ministering to him with great care and tenderness. 1 introduced myself to him, and asked if be aided in wor king the battery which fought with the Ist Virginia brigade. Ue told me lie did not— he had fought in a battery lower down, aud then remarked “that it was very hard to tight as lie had fought and turn and find his own brother fighting against him,” at the same time pointing to the wounded soldier from whose side lie hud just risen. I asked if it was possible that was his brother.— “Yes, sir, he is my brother Henry. The same mother bore us the same mother nursed us. We meet the first time for seven years. L belong to the Washington Artillery, from New Orleans —he to the Ist Minnessota In fantry. By the merest chance I learned he was here wounded, and sought him out to nurse and attend him.” Thus they met — one from the far North, the other from the extreme South —on a bloody field iu Virgin ia—in a miserable stable,* far away from their mother, home and friends —both woun ded the infantryman by a musket ball in the light shoulder, the artilleryma.u by the w heel of a caisson running ever bin kft baud.

The special \\ ashington correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer telegraphs: “ I apprehend there is too much truth in the statement that the consternation that prevaded the ranks of our Army on Sunday afternoon last was produced by the teamsters. It is now believed that the teamsters who produced the excitement, and caused the re treat, were rebels—not of the condition in life from which such employees aro usually selected, but men of means and position in the South, who under a disguise, had deceived the Government into employing them. In fact, it was but a repetition of the St. Nicho las affair. Several of the teamsters were in Washing ton some time before they left for Centreville; and it is now remembered that a little child, residing in the house in which they boarded, was several times the recipient of rebel badges and on one occasion of a handkerchief bearing upon it several rebel emblems and devices. At the time the presents were hstowed, nothing was thought of it, the teamsters be ing in the Government employ, hut now the facts are remembered. 1 receive my information from good au thority, and give it not only to show the origin of the panic, but also to show what risks the traitors to their country will incur to further their fiendish projects.” This is u last resort—there must be some way to account for the running of the “Grand Army.” Perhaps they could resist the firing and the bayonets in front—but the inclina tiou \|* greater to imitate .tiw moyeuntni the mobs in the reaiu
