The graud victory near Manassas was over the regulars and picked men of the Noithorn army Our volunteers encountered the enemy in his ut most strength, and possessed of every advantage he could ask. We did not fight behind entrench ments—it was an open field fight. The enemy had not only ihtir best men, but where the fight raged they had more than tiro to onr one.

In our present issue we publish two interesting i letters from Capt Beck of the Baldwin Volunteers, the last written from the field of battle which •i,ev reached a few hours after the conflict. It ap pears that the ninth regiment of the Georgia Vol unteers, had to wait their tum on the Railroad, and then, by some misfortunate the train was de- avd several hours so that they could not get there in time to take part in the battle, but no doubt their chance will soon come, and then we predict they will do their part well. They, w ith many other gallant regiments have their strength entire for another field. May God protect them tnd give them the victory.

We call the attention of our readers to the Prcc iaraatieii of the Governor, which will he found in cur advertising columns, appealing to the citizens of Georgia to loan their guns to the State.

We understand that Phillips' Brigade, to which they belong, has been orcbr.-d to Virginia, and they have returned home, "ii furlough, to take leave of their friends. Gen. Phillips lias resigned, and the President *dl appoint a man to fill tho vacancy. The War Item, We have collected and published for the benefit of our readers this week thoso items of news which we thought would be most interesting, and at the same time the most reliable. No official re port has yet been published of the battle of Manassas. When such a report is published, we sba l take the earliest opportunity to lay it before our readers. Iu the mean time we publish several reports from individuals who were eye witnesses of what they write. Some of them are from Northern writers, and all agree that the defeat of the Abolition army was most disastrous. The tact that an army that had gone forth to battle wiih such a flourish of trumpets, and such loud boasting of what they were going to do. and then r treating or rather flying from the field, with the lo,s of ail their artillery and ali their baggage, leaving behind them their dead and wounded to the mercy of a foe whom they had insulted, speaks for itself. No rhetoric, no special plead mg. no sophistry, can alter these facts. They speak for themselves in a language which the world can understand and appreciate, and all the efforts of our enemies to explain them away can onlv render them more ridiculous in the eyes of the world. Clothing Tor our Malilicrs. Wc call particular attention to an article headed “(Auarterinaster General’s Department, Georgia Army.” The suggestions presented in that article, will, w e think, meet the approbation it all interested. It is essential that a concert of action iu ail communities should bo had, so that lull suits of clothing may be seut to each member ot every Company in the field. Many a soldier has. left behind friends who will furnish him ilolhing, and unless an understanding is had, one may get several suits, while othc-is receive none w «li. Therefore a meeting of the citizens in each community should be held. A (■n-nr Siprpch of it True Ralriol We invite attention this week to the bold and nioquent speech of John C. Breckinridge in the I’■derai Congress. Although surrounded by Lin coin's soldiers, he does not hesitate to tell the ty- r »nt some wholsesonie truths. His speeeli con- basis nobly with the cringing sycophancy of Mr Crittenden. Kcrriiita. Lieut. MeComb of the Baldwin llioes left this city this (Monday) morning for Camp Jackson. V*., taking with him twenty-two stout, able-bodied recruits. This will increase the ranks of the Blues to over one hundred men. Lieut. Cater of the Baldwin Volunteers, now at Manassas, will leave on Thntsday next. He I heavy guns, iriny was trul iu connection with military display, was well cal culated to inspire the soldier with elevated emo tion- upon this occasion: for. it is believed that hi army has seldom been drawn up in battle array surrounded by more lovely terrestrial scenery than that around Winchester. It is situated in a charming valley, beautifully varied by hill and lale, cheq„3rred by fine farms and almost encir cled, at the distance of 10 to 20 miles, by the pe culiar beauties of ihe Alleganies. The display ot long extended lines on our right and lelt, and the movements of serried columns in the rear, con- finut-d until .! R. >L, when we were quietly with drawn a few hundred yards to Ihe rear, where we ucamped. During ali these movements, while die enemy was hourly expected in overwhelming •ire*, our men exhibited their characteristic en thusiasm and eagerness for the conflict 1 have seen I luted States troops go into battle in Mexi co, but have never yet seen so great enthuwum. such freedom from tear, aud such cheerfulness, as nave been exhibited by our soldiery upon ail oc casions when battle was expected. On the 17th, it was reported that the enemy .vere making a demonstration, with a strong col- irnn. on onr right flauk. Our Brigade with sev-1 ral other regiments were d-tached in the direc- 'ion ol the threatened point. Two miles from W inchester, in the prolongation of our right flank, are extensive wheat and corn fields—ol course, tiie fences would he impediments in the i way of our inaneuu-vers. They were therefore | thrown down by our detachment; thus leaving j Hundreds ol acres of crops exposed—a sad in- i ■iiance of tiie devastation consequent upon the j movements of hostile armies. The detachment | aaving performed the duties assigned it, returned j ■<> camp. The buttle was expected on the next day. On the leib, about 12 P. M., a report reached Winchester that the battle bad begun at Mauas- Hi's Gap; mid that Gen. Patterson, evacuating hi.- position near Winchester, had crossed the Poto mac at Harper's Ferry, and was on his way to aid in the attack upon Beauregard at Manassas. •Jonsequently, a strong column, onr. Brigade in •<tided, was detached to join in tho battle at Ma nass.is. We arrive, after marching from 12 M inti! baybreak next morning, and from sunrise until 9 A. M. at Pi.-dniuut, nearest depot on tnc Manassas Gap Railroad. We expect to takr cars for Manassas in a few minutes. Tho sun is now about one hour high, afternoon. We heai die battle is becoming general: we shall, there fere, probably, hear its roar in one or two hours from this time. We hope to take part in it to morrow. Distance from tiiis point about 35 miles Onr men are eager for the conflict. We heat his evening that the fight continued on jester lay ftom early in the morning tiil 9 P.

Respectfully, BENJ. BECK. BATTLEFIELD NEAR MANASSAS, ? JlJ.V 22d, ISC I. ) Vo the Editors vj the Southern Federal Union : The second battle near Manassas was fonglit oi Sunday last: beginning earlj' in the morning, am continuing until iate in the afternoon. The 9tl Georgia iiegirueiit having been detained at Pied inont longer than was anticipated, did not read .he battlefield until fifteen hours nfar tiw nad ceased. The 7th and eth were both engage* and suffered considerable loss—(Joi. Bartow slain The battle was begun about sunrise by cannon .'ding m advance of Beauregard's center. Tiiis however, proved to be a feint; for, the principa demonstration was made against the left flank i he attack upon the left was made so suddenly and by such an overwhelming force, that the ene my gained, early in the day, a decided advantage i'hi.s advantage, however, was of short duration ; all their movements being vigorous y met, am speedily repelled. The battle soon became warn aud general along the left wing; the line ot con tlict extending some miles in length. Early in th* day the celebrated Sherman’s Artillery took i prumineiit part in the enemies movements. It.- destructive tire caused much contusion iu two oi three of our regiments. But it was destined sooi to yield to Southern valor. It was stormed am taken. The enemy made a spirited effort to re lin it. and partially succeeded. Thus the batth continued with seeming doubtful issue, each sit*. advancing and now retreating; swayin* backward and forward, like two clouds impellei together by adverse winds. Again was the Ar ti.lery charged, and Southern volunteers triumph d g! riousiy over United fcrates regulars. Tin batteries wi re taken. Gherman's command cut ti pieces, and the hosts of Northern invaders scatter ed, fugitive and bleeding before the victors Tin soute soon became general. Our cavalry, kept it reserve until the proper time, now fell upon tin rear, spread consternation among the fly ing foe and swell the carnage. The pursuit continued with terrible loss to the enemy, for many miles, until our troops, weary with the labors of the day sunk to rest. The enemy lost from 40 to GO pieces of as fin* Artillery as ever rolled over a battlefield, witi complete equipments, teams, &c., a large nttmbei of small arms, a large quantity of camp and gar risen equipage, aud a large number of horses l’beir loss in men is not known, but it must la great. The slain are strewn through the fields and along the road, for the distance of ten or fif teen miles 1 have just visited a part of the field, thirty hours after the battle. The slain of the Confed erates were buried tho first day. Many ot the Federalists also had been butried. but large nuni bers 6tili tie unhurried. Muskets. Cartridge boxes, canteens, hats, grape shots, catrnon balls, fragments of shells, case shot, and wrecked gun carriages lie strewn in all directions. Upon an elevated position, where Sherman s Artillery was taken, the Federalists lie thickly around, dressed in bright blue and red Here may be seen m arly 100 dead horses. On the right of the position still stands the wreck of an exploded limber, with the entire team of four horses lying dead in bar ness. Near the same place, still farther towards tiie rigiit, is a farm house, shattered by many can non bails, iu which an old unman was slain du ring tho battle. Her remains still lie in the house. It is said that sho guided the enemy to this point Many houses on the lieid are now crowded with the slain and the wounded of the enemy. To- defenee of your country, may your efforts to repel and drive the enemy back, be crowned with suc cess, and when the victory is won, may you all return to your homes, to spend the remainder of your days in peace and happiness. In conclusion, I can only say that our very best wishes are with you, and as an evidence of the great confidence which we have placed in you ali as brave men, aud also as an evidence of the deep interestand concern we feel for you, we present to yon this flag, imploring Heaven at the same time that it may never cease to wave over the land of the free and the home of the. brace. From other sources, it appears that Scott had so eep- admirably planned his attack that not a thought of | repulse was entertained. j He expected to march upon our left wing, turn i it with ease, get in the rear of our little army, aud, with his overwhelming forces, surround and cut us to pieces. Several letters found upon the field and along the fines of retreat, state this fact in plain words. Others, which I have read, re quest of distant correspondents after Sunday next to mail future communications to Manassas or Richmond ns the case may be. ten hours they wrestled with our heroes over the hills and ravines of the battle ground, and until the field was piled with their dead bodies, before | Langley, Mil.

What room does such a defeat leave for hope to the enemy ? If his best men aud his best batteries, and in double numbers, have been whipped in open fight by our thrice gal lant soldiers—what can they hope now that all these are gone ? Their regulars are destroyed Their batteries are ours. Their tra.ned artillery men have been cut down. Their grand army has been dispersed like mist, and of all its vaunting champions, nothing remains but a broken band of half-naked fugitives, Hying iu an agony of fright.
