j it as brief as possible, confining it mai rly to
facts, and denouncing, in advance, as false and

may have appeared in the journals of .the Uni-
ted'Statcs. , . ,
The day before the fight, (Saturday,) the re
giment to which I was attached, (the Nineteenth
Mississippi, Col C. II. Mott,) w&s on the way
from Winchester to Manassas, waiting at a
railway station called Piedmont, for a (rain to
convey it to the vicinity of the scene of action.
I was on horseback, nnd wns that day acting ns
Assistant Brigade Quarter-master to Maj. Jas.
II. Anderson, of Mississippi, and also as Volun
teer Aid to Col. D. H. Mott, who was then act-'
ing as commander of the Brigade in place of
Bng..G en. E. Kirby Smith, who was acting in
place of Gen. Johnston. Saturday morning I
had ridden on, six or seven miles from^Pied
mont, by’ the dirt road, in the direction of
Manassas, when Maj. Anderson requested ine
to go back and attend to some' business in his
department, which he supposed had been ne
glected, In order to ride as light as possible,
1 gave my rifle and baggage to a servant and
told him to await mv return—not expecting to
be gone more than two hours. On my return
to Piedmont I was detained by Col. Mott four
or five hours, and, consequently, when I start-
•> ed back toward Manassas I was unable'to over
take either the Quartermaster’s train or the
servant wjth my arms, who, of course; despair
ing of my return in'*time lor him to catch up
with the train before dark, had gone on. 1
rode on. however, to Hay market, a village dis
tant, I beiievo, ten miles from Manassas Junc
tion, and vuiewbat near the battle-field.
At. Huy.narkct I slopped for the night, being
completely knocked.up by-the fatigues of the
day, and'nf the previous march from Winches
ter to Piedmont. Sleeping late next mornir.g the
, glorious .Sunday, the31st—late st least for a
« soldier, w* were at breakfast about 5 o’clock,
when it wns announced that tbe battle had be
gun, as |tf« quick recurring discharges of can
non were dUunctly heard. It was at once pro
posed that .i party of us, all of whom were
strangers t.i me, .-lioillil proceed to the battle
ground.’ 1 wns unarmed, but such was my
desire to foe a battle, particularly such as'I
knew this promised to be, I acceded, and
• . away wo went, under the guidance of some of
.the neighboring citizens, who said they knew
all the by-ways of the country. They led us
by a tortuous route,-nnd it was not till half-
past ten that wo reached the field; ahd when
we got there I was completely “turned round,”
and, as I found out afterwards, was-on the left,
wing of our line of battle, instead ot the right,
•• as I then supposed.
The part of the battle ground upon which we
entered had not been very hotly contested pre-
vious to our arrival; but, instantly after com
ing up, it became and continued Tor hours, the
“reddest” part oT the field. The persons who
came with me I saw no more after reaching the
scene of tho conflict. Unable to find any ot our
Mississippi people tlint I knew, I was thrown
with a ; egiment, which I was afterwards told
was from North, Carolina— propably the 6th—
which just then was making an ineffectual at
tempt to form on a ridge in point-blank range
of a largo buttery ot the enemy, thou playing
on that part of our lines. The regiment, how
ever, fell back a little way to the left and formed
in good order behind a farm house aftd the fld
that both horse and man were killed by a can
non shot from one of our batteries, in the rout
So much for the gallant bay who' bore tne
through what l'tfle I saw* of the immortal field
of Manassas!
My captors carried me, by devious ways, to
a detachment of their troops, probably 1,600
strong, posted in a neighboring wood. From
thence they were ordered to convey me to the
rear, which they proceeded to do, treating me
kindly and politely by the way. Indeed, I may
here say, once for all, to the credit of tue great
Yankee-nation, that except in a single instance,
I experienced nothing but polite and respectful
treatment while I wns a captive in their hands
The single instance referred to was that of
very common soldier, who, jt seems had just
lost his brother in the fight, and who came up
and, pointtng to ine, said he wanted fo shoo"
“ that d—d seccsh." My guards sternly -ois
dered him off, and even threatened to shoot
him if he did not at once absent himself. But

It was, I think, not more than an hour beiore rate authorities:
of our artillery camc'upon the scene at that
point, and after some delay, opened fire upon
the enemy in beautiful style. ,T sat on my
* horse near this gun for some time; tho enemy’s
shot and shell whizzing by and- falling thick
and fast around. The shot from a rifled can-
v non makes a peculiar music, which, to be ap
predated, must be heard—ft cannot be de
scribed. The bursting of bombs in the air,
too, is a sight to sco—the long drawn out'whirr
of a Minnie ball—of a hail storm of them—the
small cannon-like report of-many thousand
going a thousand miles to attend. And yet,
strange to say, Iwas not in the least apr -jlicn-
sivo of danger to myself. All Tense oil-fear
was swallowed up in tho one grand idea, that
. we had that Jay before us an enemy who,
whatever nls numbers, must be that day
- whipped. - ' ■
■ „ After tarrying awhile by the side of our
treops at the point-where I first smelt the pow-
der and heard.tbe roar of a real battlefield. I
descried on the hill in front of us—the hill
where, further to. the loft, stood tho house so
terribly riddled aftcrwnrds by the cannon-shot
ot the enemy, jn which they killed the. old wo

around nnd above me. I had, however, ad
vanced only half way up the opposite hill When
1 was met by the regiment I was seeking; rap
idly falling back, bnt in good order. Many of
the men were wounded, and many came down
the hill with their faces all streaming with
blood and begrimed with powder. This regi
ment, I am informed, was the Fourth Alabama,
which suffered so severely and acted so-nobjy
- throughout the entire day. It proceeded to
fonn. il I am not mistaken, along with the
North Carolina regiments; behind tho crest of
the hiJTend beyond the range of .the encuty’a
guns.

The rear'of the enemy’s forces to which I
wag next conducted was then at a point a mile
and a half or two miles this side of Centreville,
at s farm house, beyond and to the right of
which lie extensive fields. To the left there is
a skirt of woods sufficietly extensive to screen
a Brigade and a battery of four guns. But of

Arrived at the rear wc found there a large
body of men, amounting, 1 judge, to near 10,000,
scattered over the. .field and in the grounds a-
round tile (arm house, al! in disarray, and all
elate with the victory which they then deemed
assured. They brought out a chair for me,
and a large crowd gathered around, -nskingin-
numerable questions,-but at the same time po
litely assuring me that I need not answer un
less I choose. They asked we how. many men
wc had in tho field that day ?
I told them I did not know, and that if I did
I should not tell them. However, I added, I
shouldn’t be surprised if we had at least 60,000
men on tho ground, and as many more only a
few miles off. They said they had 40,000 in
the field and 40,000 in reserve. They asked
fhHf Jeff Davis didn’t ride a white horse, and
was ho not on the field ? , I.rcplied that FrtsF
dent Davis rode a white horse at Richmond,,
and that if not then on the field, he would be
there in ample time to turn the tide ot battle,
if it was really running in their favor as Alley
said it was. They said Ahoy did not care a
d—n for the nigger—that they wore only fight-,
ing for the Hag, and asked me.what- wc were
fighting for ? I told them they wore very can
did ; that while we were fighting for tlio same
great principle that our and their forefathers
lought'tBgether. fot-side by side through the
first Revolution, tho right to govern ourselves
in our-own way, without let or hindrance from
the outside, world, they acknowledged .that
they were merely fighting fora tawdry piece of
bunting,-.worthabout- fifty cents ajard—while
they were fighting for a simple conventional
symbol, wc were fighting for our homes .an>
firesides, and every good and holy thing that
man holds dear. Much more or the saine sort
puseod, but not a word was said by me (as
their reporters wantonly write,) about our hav
ing “twoibll negro regiments” in. our Confede
rate States Army.
During this colloquy a great'erowd, number
ing several hundreds, gathered around me,
(still sitting in my chair,) several officers on'
horseback being on the outskirts and propound
ing the 'Interrogatories. Tiring soiqewhaLof
which I have yet, and which (my baggage being
at the Junction) was of essential service in
shielding me from tho cold and rain of several
succeeding.nights and days.

the skirmishers of a South Carolina Regiment
came up, and after requiring me to give an ac
count of myself, which being satisfactory, !
went on with them a short distance, and a
little after sunset I saw the last gun fired by
Kemper’s battery at the broken and disordered
columns of the the enemy as they scampered
pell-mell into and through Centreville, on their
way to Washington, and to everlasting disgrace.
It was by one of these last guns, I suppose,
that mv gallant horse and the officer who com
manded the detachment which took m<? pris
oner was slgin. Iiequiescat in pare !
Returning that night towards headquarters,
tho South Carolina Brigade, in whose hospita
ble company I found myself bivouacked at vari
ous places on the battle-field, until finally,
about 3 o’clock in the morning of Monday, we
arrived at the headquarters of Gen. Evans,
where we laid down on the ground, and on
Yankee blankets, in the rain, and slept till we
got sufficiently wet to wake us up—about 6J-
lor' 7 o’clock.
My captors belonged to a regiment of Wis-
corsin—the Gth, I believe. After they ran off
and left me,'dropping every portable thing they
had, I picked up tbe fine military great coat of
oneof their officers—Lieut Wise. 1 suppose,
was his name, from an envelope in the pocket, Jefferson county.

Entered for warehouseing $1,068,428, against ;

New Plan of Campaign.
I RAvalosD, whose military genius has hither
to been chiefly displayed in practical illustra
tions in the art of retreating, iwhich is said, to
rcqnirc fven greater skill than that of advanc
ing, fs recoilimcn'diiig in hfs paper that no far-
ther attack be made upon'Manassas ; but that
a strong force be landed Upon the Potomac, at
the mouth of tho Occequan;-within ten miles of
th<5 'Confederate right flank, and at Dumfries;
within twenty miles of the Orange and Alexan
dria Railroad, so. as to turn our position at
Manassas, and cut off the retreat of our^army,
whilst Banks’ column should move simultane
ously, &c. . '
Thus it seems that after all Gen. McClellan’s
warnings to the press they will not hold their
tongues. When a civilian obtains a little
khowhdgoof military matters; itis impossible
4q make him keep the -peace. Nevertheless,
these leaky vessels may bo of service.to some
body. Our Genergls wilf np doubt, be ready
for any movement ol the cnemv,in any direction
whether by (Dumfries, Winchester, Manassas,
from Newport New, across the river, or via
Western Virginia and Kentucky.. We now
recollect, it was Raymond who modestly sug
gested in tho -begimng«of the war .that •“ two

men, moviqg from Washington ant Fortress.
