Al>»&ESi5 . Of Col. Tbotpai to the,18 Georgia VolnnteeiSi after drill on llie 17th October, camp near Centerville. Sohlicr*:—The appearances surround ing us indicates we will have a tight in a few days- perhaps in one day. IVe have been mistaken so often, however, that I will not venture to prophesy with perfect certainty. 1, like yourselves, have never been in battle. It will be a novel sensation to me as to you. But by inquiry among those who have seen and felt it, I have learned something that perhaps would he useful and interesting to you. The great object our enemies seem to have in view, is to in vent some means or lino some, plan, bj which they can kill us without being hint themselves. If we adopt some measure to circumvent this single feature of their tactics, they arc helpless, and we have them at our mercy. The sole thing, therefore, necessary is to go up close.— We arc told some of the. ritU-s in your hands will kill a man half a mile. Don t you believe it, it is all stuff. No gun will kill a man that far, and it they could, no one can hit a man three hundred yards with any certainty, \ougo up within one hundred yards or less, and then >0111 marksmanship will tell. Get close to t hem, stand firm, aim well, and not a single regiment they have will stand before 3011 five minutes. But their artillery—their terrible big guns—wc bear they have two hundred ot the finest pieces of artillery in the world. Well, I hope it is true—we want the guns —we are entitled to them—we know lmw to use them, and they don’t—and Provi dence never intended that fine cannon, nor anvthing else, should he held by those who understood not their use. After diligent inquiry, I can hear of hut one single man on our side killed by their cannon at the battle of Mannassas Plains. Providence fouglic with us at Manassas. lie will fight with us again if wc. are brave. He loves valor, and lie loves a valiant soldier. He will help us, but lie will not drop cannon down to us out of the skies. He expects to help us by putting it into tlie hearts of our enemies to bring the cannon in our reach, and then He expects us to take them. Another marked feature ot the fight, if we get into one, you will find to be the whistling of the, shells. Our enemies have succeeded admirably in constructing a harmless instrument, which makesa curi ous and unpleasant noise, and it has this wonderful peculiarity: it seems to be com ing straight at every man who hears it. Now, we know it can’t be coming at hut one man, or, at most, two; and the truth is, it is coming at nobody. You have nothing to do but to pay close attention to j our hind sight, and the whistling of the shells will, after a little, become rather a small matter in the grand drama you are acting. The man who hears thunder is never struck by the lightning. The great implement of death in war you hold in your hands—the musket and bayonet—and your enemies have none better or more terrible. Another feature of the fight will be, the falling of the killed and wounded. It is a trying thing to a man to see his friends fall side by side, and our first impulse is to carry' them to the, rear. But remember, the best way to save your wounded friend is not for five or six to leave the ranks, and thus weaken and break your line. This will insure his destruction and your own by the trampling end bayonets of your enemies. Your wounded friends ought to be in the rear, and you ought to be between them and the foe. Now, the plainest and most effectual way to do this, is to close up your ranks and advance on the enemy. Soldiers, you fight for your liberty, your country, your wives and your children. You cannot afford to be defeated, lour fate would be “liewers of wood and drawers of water” to the enemy you abhor. Your enemies are bought with a price—fifty dol lars per head bounty and large pay induce them to enter the ranks to destroy your rights. Can you yield to such a foe? With one powerful blow let us crush them, and return home to our families and friends.— Sac. llrp. The Invasion of our foast. Startling intelligence.— The Raleigh (N. C ) State Journal, of the 23d iust., contains the follow ing: l r cry Latest.—Information has been received hv his Excellency Gov. Clarke; just as we go to pr-ss. to the effect that a large fleet had sailed on Mon day from New York for the purpose of attacking Beaufort and Kcwbern. And also that a fleet ot over twenty vessels had strived m Hampton Roads. The citizens of the counties on the coast should he prepared with every available weapon to march at any point at a moment’s notice. The following from the Newborn (N. C.) Pro gress, o* tue same date, no doubt refers to the same thing: An extra train arrived here yesterday morning from Goldsboro’ beaimg a dispatch from General Gatlin to Gen. Hill, Col. Singletary and other offi cers in command in this section, which he had re ceived from Gen. Huger, of Norfolk, to the effect that a large Federal fleet has left New York lor an attack oil this piacu and Fort Macon. The in formation seems to have reached Gen. Huger through a channel not altogether reliable, but supported by circumstances which did not justify inattention to it; hence, ho communicated the in formation to Gen. Gatliu, and he urges upon the offers in command here to push forward the works with all possible speed We think this is right, but, at the same time, would as soon think the at tack would fall about Norfolk, or somewhere on the Potomac. It may be a taint. Ana the New Yoik Commercial, of a late date, gives the following description of the great expe dition: One of the most extensive naval expeditions in which this country ever engaged, is now in pre paration, and a part of it is already on the way to a common rendezvous. The larger portion of this fleet has been fitted out at this port, but several vessels have been pre pared at Roston and Philadelphia, all intended tor the same object. The fleet has been furnished with every necessary, yet all has been conducted without bustle or confusion. Merchants have of fered their vessels, and they have bien accepted by the United States Quartermaster with prompt ness. The transports have been rapidly loaded at our wharves, and then hauled into the stream or otl the Battery, waiting the signal to start. Large steamships that have won themselves renown as ocean palaces, have been stripped of their gilding, loaded h. avily with cannon and death dealing mis- sites, and taken into the ranks of transports and war vessels, The expedition, as it was composed in our har bor a few days since, presented a somewhat novel appearance. The Bailie loaded nearly to her guaids, the Atlantic, Vanderbilt and other ocean steamers, all hearing valuable freight, lay in the stream, with saucy gunboats, side w heel and pro pellers, and even the diminutive tug, with a new coat of black paint, laid proudly with the war fleet. By the middle ot last week this expedition was so tar advanced that people began to speculate upon its probable destination. The very curious d:d not hesitate lo take an early walk upon the Battery, and to devote au hour to the critical ex amination of the fleet, to see if any of them had let! during the night. The wonder lovers were gratified on Satuiday by the departure of the Coatzacoalcos, Cahawbs, Roanoke, Kmpier City, Parties bn rg. Unadilla and Atlanta. The 3d Rhode Island regiment was transferred from Fort Hamil ton to the Cahawba; and Col. Serrill’s Engineers were takpn on another vessel. Yesterday, the Battery was thronged nearly all day by a crowd of people, anxious to see the de- parture of more of the vessels. During the day, the Star »f the dumb, Ocean Queen, Daniel Web ster, Ariel, Arago, Vanderbilt, Orieutial, and Rhode Island, left their several anchorages and sped their way out of port. The Wabash and sevral gunboats and transports remain in ihe harbor, hut, in all probability, will sail during the ■lay. Three ferry boats were purchased on ‘Satur day, the Ethan A leu, Commodore Perry, and Stepping St,me. These will be despttciied to morrow or Wednesday. I iie entire fleet will have left this port by Wednesday, and probably by Saturday will have r- tseived the troops who are to take part in the ex pedition. We commit no impropriety when we declare that the fits* destination of the vessels composing tlie expedition is Hampton Roads and Annapolis. The naval vessels will rendezvous at the former The ultimate destination of the expedition is known but to the Government and Gen. Scott, and even when the licet sails, the General in com mand of the tro'ips will probably receive sealed dispatches, which he will be instructed to open when in a certain latitutde. The utmost care has been taken to censure the success of this expedition, and we are safe in as serting that when tlie blow is struck, the effect upon the Sonth will be terrible. Ourreadeis and cotemporaries may accuse us of violating the express commands of Gen. Mc Clellan. in making public so much of the abox'O as may appear to have been xviihin the scope of the instructions refurred to. We will say that we this morning obtained permission to publish the above facts. RRPBE8K,\TATIVI8 ELECTED. Appling—A. P. Surrency. Baker—W. D. Williams. Baldwin—L. II Briscoe. Banks—F. G. Moss.

The Battle of Leesburg. “Personnc” of Ihe Charleston Courier has an interesting account of this glorious fight fiotn which we extract the following particulars not hitherto punlished in the Telegraph:—The F>-d- crals crossed the Potomac on Sunday evening, and during the night, in rowboats, at various points in front of Le -sburg, from twelve to fifteen hun dred strong, accompanied by three pieces ot field artillery. On landiug they immediately formed in order and waited until day light to march into the interiot. Gen. Evans having previously fallen back with considerable precipitation to Goose Creek (about six miles ) and left a portion of his baggage, the supposition conveyed to their minds was that he was rapidly retreating towards the main body of the army, and that they would eu-_ counter 110 obstacle in an advance upon Leesburg, distant three miles Iront the river. Great was tire.r surptise ort progressing little more than hall the distance to meet a portion of the force ot our General—who quietly moved around the Northeast side of the town, and posted the Eighth Virginia Regiment, commanded by Col Eppa Huuton. Here a tremendous fight ensued, and the Y’ankces were routed attire point of the bar onet and driven back to the river. The Thirteenth Mississippi wete held in reserve at or near Leesburg, and did not get into the battle at all. The Seventeenth and Eighteenth Mississippi, Colonels Featherstone and Burt, in the same man ner engaged othoi detachments of the enemy, and with equal success forced them to retreat Such is the epitome of the fight, which lasted all day, but irt order that it maybe clearer understood in the absence of details, it should be explained that the battle was a scries of desperately contested skirmishes between largo squads of nren, the two sides being continually reinforced—the enemy by the accession of those who were constantly crossing the river, during the battle, and our soldiers by detachments from tire three regiments engaged, ordered into position as their services were re quired. Finally near the close of the day, after much hard fighting, the total Yankee force were again driven to the river, their three guns cap tured, and in the •‘panic’’ which ensued, a large number, variously estimated at from one to two hundred and fifty, were drownded in attempting to cross the Potomac. It would tints appear that as evening approached ihe two armies became con solidated, and a hard fought battle terminated the samller succes which had preceded. * * * 'I he loss of the Federals is uncertain. Seventy- live are known to be killed, while one hundred and fifty of their wounded, as is supposed, and the fugitives who were crowded in a flat boat en deavoring to make their escape were drowned in the Potomac. Of prisoners, six hundred and forty-nine have already been sent to Richmond, and others are being capture ! hourly. Several hundred are said to tie in the mountains and woods of the vicinity. These will, of course, be stir- rounded, unless the Y ankees throw across an im mense body in the meantime and lake possession of the locality, which ol course they cannot do without another struggle. Of the number engaged intelligence is equally conflicting. Our own fighting strength was not more then fifteen hundred. According to the statement of Did. Lee there were only twelve hun dred Federals, but it must be born in mind that they were crossing all day at vatious points and thus may have swelled their column to the dimen sion of several thousand. Our men say there were twelve regiments. * * * Aside from the moral effects of our victory, there is one circumstance which alone will cause a howl of holy horror to ring through Massachusetts. We have two hundred and fifty precious gems from Worcester County—the X'cry hot bed of fa naticism— members of the Fifteenth Massachu setts Regiment, connected with the first families of the black-hearted community. Personally they are bv far the best looking of the prisoners, but colloquially they boil over with threats of ven- geance, hatred of the South, and contempt for our soldiers in a manner that eclipses all similar ex periences with which we are acquainted, THE SO.YG OK THE CAMP. A CRIMEAN INCIDENT—BY BAYARD TAYLOR The subjoined touchingly beautiful poem—for it i» a poem in the fullest sense and meaning of term—was wiitten by Bayard Taylor while the fortress of Sebastopol was beleagurcd by the allied armies. To a full understanding and appreciation ot it. let it be remembered that “Annie Laurie’ is the song of the British camp, and wherever there is a British regiment—whether in Canada or India. England or China—whenever the simple Scotch air that accompanies Maxwelton’s banks are bonny, When early falls the dew; And 'txvas there tiiat Anttia Lautie Gave me her promise true— Gat e me her promise true, And ne’er forget will I, But for bonny Annie Laurie I'll lay me down and die, is struck up. the heart and voice of ex’ery soldier responds as promptly as would their hands if the order was given to charge the enemy. THE INCIDENT. “Give us a song!'' the soldiers cried, The outer trenches guarding. When the heated guns of the camps allied Grow weary of bombarding. The dark Redan, in silent scoff. Lay grim anil threatening, under; And the tawny mound of the Ma'akoff No longor belched its thunder. There was a pause. The guardsman said: “We storin the forts to-morrow; Sing whiie we may, another day Will bring enough of sorrow. They lay along the battery’s side, Below the smoking cannon— Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde, And from the banks of Shannon. They sang of love, and not of fame; Forget was Britain’s glory— Each heart recalled a different name, But all «H sang “Annie Laurio.” Voice after voice caught up the song, Until its tender passion Rose like an anthem, rich and strong— Their battle eve confession. Dear girl, her name he dared not speak, Yet. as the song grew louder, Sometihng upon the soldier’s cheek Washed off the stains of powder. Beyond the darkening ocean burned The bloody sunset’s embers, While the Crimean valleys learned How English love remembers. And once again a fire of hell Rained on the Russian quarters. With scream of shot and burst of shell, And bellowing of the mortars, And Irish Nora’s eyes are dim For a singer dumb and gory; And English Mary mourns for him Who sang of “Annie Laurie,’’ tfc* Ualii* of £«*!»•»«« *!*«•. | In imps which where rs worthy M theif chiva'fie j LHs weM infoirded army correspondent of the | commander as ho wss’ft lead set tioh’Ci so btavei ■ New Orleans Del; rq writ log frdffl Fairfax, gives i«tcd so high minded an ernty j an Interesting sketch of General BenuvegUard's official report 0! the Battle of Mafiassas Plains.— lie says : leal sv Avvaoatvif.

A Spiff Correspondence. Richmond, 31st .—The Whig of this morning pub lishes the correspondence ot Brig Gen. W. 11. T. Walker and the Secretary of War, upon the resig nation of the former. General Walker, in giving some reasons for resigning, says that he has been overslaughed by the appointment of young officers he had ranked in the old service, l’lie General further says that the Government, not content with putting his own countrymen over him, brought from New York General Lovell, who was an office holder in New Y'ork when the battle of Manassas was fought, and made him a Major Gen eral over Southern men, and to cap the climax, took liis (Walker’s) brigade from him and appointed one of liis junior Colonels Brigadier. General Walker concludes his letter by saying that one would have supposed that an Executive who had himself been a soldier, would have scorned to wound the sensibility of an old and tried soldier The sacred cause for which I drew my sword I will fight for in my native State, but I will not con descend to submit longer to the insults and indig nities of the Executive. The Secretary of War replies that it is due his self respect to remark on the impropriety of Brig Gen. Walker’s using the War Department for the conveyance of his disrespectful and insulting com ments upon the action of the President of the Con federate States, and says that the sole offence of the President consists in not selecting Walker a Major General, and that there is no question of pro motion involved in the appointment of a general officer, the law expressly vesting the appointing power in the hands of the President, and it is no disparagemect of any officer, whatever his servi ces, that the President prefers another as a divis ion commander Gen. Walker’s resignation has been accepted. Gen. Walker, in reply to the remarks of the Sec ret ary of War about self-respect, says that the War Department is the only proper military chan nel to convey his resignation, and the present ac ting Secretar3'of War, in consequence of his short sojourn in that department, is ignorant of it. The three letters are spicy, and will doubtless be read with unusual interest throughout the coun try. _ Haw the Klnir nml Fremont Pa|i<T» wire yinilr Public. The papers iu the Fremont and Blair cases were first published in the Cincinnati Esquikek. The Cincinnati Commercial, after stating that a Mr. Bel- mau had been sent to St. Louis as a correspondent of the Enquirer, thus accounts for the appearance of the papers .- In the course of human events, the lion. R. M. Cor- wine, who is fully determined not to relax an effort un til rebellion is crushed out, was made judge advocate of Fremont’s army. He, of course, knew Mr. Bel- mnn, and with his accustomed courtesy to the repre sentatives of the. press, tendered him the “facilities’ - usual in such cases—that is to say, ann - i chair, desk, room and stationery. It came to pass, as Gen. Fremont was about to take liis departure for Jefferson City, that the judge advocate had a press of business, and needed toe la boursofa copyist. He availed himself i ninedmti-ly of the services of Mr Behnan, who was to be property compensated for his toils, in making fair copies of a certain correspondence, it being necessary to forward duplicates of the papers in the ease to Wash ington. Mr. Belman, in copying the letters, found them in teresting, and wondered they had not been in the newspapers. It was his leading arti.de of faith that nothing upon the globe accomplished its destinj- un til it made its appearance in print, with proper head lilies. Therefore, as he copied letters from .lessee Ben ton Fremont, and A. Lincoln, and Francis P. Blair.and John C. Fremont, he was astonished at the want of en terprise in the pressof St. Louis, and with perfect uat uralnesstook copies of the aforesaid for use in iiis cor respondence: and one copy of the correspondence was sent to the President anil another to the Cincinnati Enquirer. For some days after the event of publication, St. Louis, Fremont and Washington city were in a con dition of surprise and wrath. The tndouiinable Bel man, panoplied in innocence, was late in finding out there was a row, and still later iu knowing himself as the instrument of Providence visibly working in the nation. The state of mind of Col. R. M. Corwine, “when he learned it ail,’’ is said to have been stupen dous. It may not be improper to state, in this con nection, that Mr. Belman has “retired” from St. Louis. Another JBurilcr. Chunnenugee, Ala, Oct. 24, 1SG1. Eds. Confederacy: Dr. R. L. G. Bozeman who lived near this place, was cruelly murdered on Thurs day last, by two of his own negroes. The two negroes had run away about a week previous, and on their return, the Dr. took them—his overseer being absent— to tbe black smith shop to correct them. While addressing one with his hack to the other, lie was struck on the hack of the head, either with a sledge hammer or oth er piece of iron, fracturing the occipital hone. The boy who killed him has esca ped. The one at home charges the killing upon the fugitive. We learn these ne groes were given to Dr. Bozeman by his aunt, living near Milledgeviile Georgia. [ Special Dispatch to the Savannah Republican. J From the .North Sidr of the Potomac—Object of the Lrrabui-g .Tlovrinr nt. — The Tribune : ConfcNNca lo u Terrible Defeat. Richmond, Oct. 29.—A gentleman just arrived from Washington brings some interesting mews front beyond the Potomac, lie saxs : Dan. Sickles is on Ihe Potomac, opposite Evans- port, xvith 1(5,DtiO men and sixty cannon. A large force has been ordered to take position opposite Matthias' Point, and liax-e been concen trated tln-re by telegraph, thereby showing the ur gency of the movement. The plan agreed upon at Washington is to at tack Evansport in front with ships, and while the engagement is progressing to land a large force at Matthias’ Point and turn the Confederate Iront, thus enabling McClellan to attack Beauregard iu the rear The blockade of the Potomac causes great in convenience to the Federalists. It xvas reported and generally believed in Wash ington that the Federal fioet is dest.ned to operate against Nexv Orleans. The New Y’ork Tribune says the battle of Lees burg resulted in a terrible defeat of the Federal ists. The fire, it says, was even more terrific tli.rn that at Bull’s Run. It sets down the Federal loss in killed and wounded at twelve hundred, and esti mates the Confederates actually engaged in the fight at thirty thousand !

We regret to see a disposition in some quarters to decry the abilities, and criticise the move ments of onrGenl’s., by those who are not iu pos session of the data upon which to form a judgment, and who do not even profess to know any thing of the intricate science of war. The great subject of complaint is, that our army has not advanced into Maryland, and is still at its old battle-ground of Bull Run. Why don’t the fault finders take the bull by the horns and arraign the Executive, in obedience to whose ordeis our Generals act ? No General of our army lias the power to order a forward movement into Marylaud, or upon \V ash- ington. The Commander-iu-Chief, which is vest ed in the President by the Constitution, is exer cised by him in fact, and iu conformity with his orders our military movements are strictly regu lated. So that, whether it was good policy to en ter Maryland or not, it is the President, and not the Generals, upon whom the responsibility of ac tion or non-action rests. We don’t knotv that any service in the world lias more accomplished military men than are at the bead of the Southern armies. Gen. A. John ston, of Kentucky, Gen Johnston, Commander- in-Chief of the Army of the Potomac. Gen Beau- tegard, Gen. Smith, Gen. Magruder—wo know not where to slop—form a host of military worthies that xvould adoin any service in any age. We conceive that they haveevery motive to accomplish ev rything- within their poxver which can operate upon the most unsparing of their critics, and probably understand their business as well. And this is equally true of the President. Undoubt edly, if any one individual in this Government has more interest than any other in the success of our arms, it is the Chief Magistrate. We do not hold with the Lincolnites that the Kiug can do uo wrong, but we cannot resist the conclusion that our Executive, in the trying position he occupies, must be at least as well disposed to do the best be cau as any of his critics, and that it is fait to pre sume he avails himself of ell the lights of his position, and all the wisdom and intelligence that • to his counsel. enemy and of our own forces, on that eventful j day, that the reader will be able to comprehend the strategy and the tactics of the battle field, as weli as tliev can possibly be presented through a verbal medium. In addition to this, tbe report will embody a narration of the events preceding the engagement, and will present a connected his tory ot what may justly be called the campaign of Manassas, including an exposition of the motives xvhii-h compi lied the concentration of the two ar mies of tlie Potomac and the Shenandoah : of the accidents which intervened to prevent the junc tion in time to carry out Gen. Beaureguard s bril liant and masterly plan of attack, and of the cir cumstances which finally compelled him to meet the enemy’s assault on our left. It will be seen, likewise, that the idea of the junction of the two armies emanated from Gen Beauregard : that he advised the Government by telegraph of the enemy’s intended advance, and earnestly asked for an order for Gen. Johnston to come to his relief; that it was only on the 17th of July, the day before the ba’tle of Bull Run, that the Government consented to give the order, and that it was to this delay that the failure to con summate a brilliant programme of attack was ow ing. It will likewise be seen that, even at that early day, Gr.n. Renurcgard had conceived and pro posed a plan if offrnsirr. operations which, from the light shed upon events by the subsequent results, xvould, if it had been adopted, have swept tho en emy from Virginia, relieved Maryland from the thraldom imposed on her by the Lincolnites, and placed Washington in our power. When it be came known to Beauregard that tho enemy was about to advance on his lines, lie proposed to the Government at Richmond a plan of operations subsequently as follows: Immediately on the ad vance of the enemy, Gen. Johnston was to detach a portion of his force to operate with General Beau regard in a combined attack on the advancing as sailant. at the same time leaving a sufficient torce to guard the defensible passes of the Blue Ridge against Patterson. The enemy having been de feated and dispersed. Johnston xvas to march back against Pattorson and overwhelm him ; then to de tach a force and reinforce Garnett, enough to make ! that General superior to McClellan, and to drive i him beyond the Ohio. This being accomplished, | the whole command would rejoin Johnston, who | would cross the Potomac into Maryland, rouse the | people of that State, and advance to the siege of ! Washington, in the rear, while Beauregard with j liis army, xvould operate against the same city from j this side of the tiver. The design was brilliant, ; and, as subsequent events have abundantly dem onstrated, entirely practicable It was consistent | with the xvell understood rules of strategy, and would have given us the advantage of operating | from a central point, with every facility for rapid concentration, against widely dispersed armies, j with which timely concentration xvould be simply a physical impossibility. The programme, al though daring in the extreme, involved at the same time the kind of daring xvhich is equivalent | to the wisest caution. It xvas founded ou tho idea of using the largest possible portion of our forces, at every important point, so that we might bo ev erywhere superior t,o the enemy in number or in impetus, instead of permitting our armies to remain segrated and everywhere inferior to the enemy in front of them. For reasons which are not ex- plaint d, but which appeared to the Government to more than counterbalance the advantages of this plan, it was not adopted. Nothing, therefore, re mained but for Gen. Beauregard to fight the enemy as lie came out from A exandria, either at Fairfax at Ceutreville, or behind the lines of Bull Run, as circumstances might dictate. As the positions of the armies, and the intentions of the enemy devel- j oped themselves, it became apparent that Ceutre ville xvas the grand strategic point--the key to the situation. Genera! Beauregard had p-oposed that ( xxhile the enemy attacked him, either in front, as at Blackburn’s Ford oil the icftli. or on the flank, as on the 21st, General Johnston should fall with his army on the Federal rear and reserves at Cen- treville—a movement which would have insured the destruction or the capture of the whole hostile force. The bad state of the roads rendered imprac ticable the consummation of the scheme. It then became necessary to modify the plan so that after the junction of the two forces the attack ou Cen- treville should be made by columns of divisions along the converging roads crossing Bull Run, in case the enemy should make a demonstration on our left flank—a movement xvhich Gen. Beaure gard became assured, alter the engagement of the I~tli, would he attempted. It has, for a long time, been generally known that tlie failure to carry out this plan of battle in its details, and the necessity to which Gen. Beauregard was then subjected, of changing front on his left, and finally of drawing from his centre and right in order to stem the ene my’s progress and win the victory. All these things will he elaborately stated in the report, and of course far mote intelligibly than I can describe them. The correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch says of the report: I have been favoted with a brief synopsis of por tions of General Beaureguard’s report of the battle of Manassas, which has been forwarded to the War Department, and xvhich will, doubtless, be published in a short time. General Beauregard opens with a statement of his position antecedent to the battle, and ot tlie plan proposed by him to the Government of a junction of tbe armies of Shenandoah and Potomac, xvith a view to the re lief of Maryland and the capture of the city of Washington, which plan was rejected by the Pres ident. Gen. B. states that he telegraphed the War Department ou tbe 13th July of the contem plated attack of Gen. McDowell, urgently asking for a junction of General Johnston's forces with his own, and continued to make urgent requests for the same, until the 17th JuJy, when the Presi dent consented to order Gen. Johnston to his as sistance. Gen Beanregatd goes on to state that liis plan of battle assigned to General Johnston an attack on the enemy on the left at or near Cenlre- ville, while he himself xvould command in front; but the condition of the roads prevented this. It xvas then decided to receive the attack of tlie enemy behind Bull Run. After the engagement at Black burn’s Ford, on the loth, Gen. Beauregard xvas convinced Gen. McDowell’s principal demonstra tion would be made on our left wing, and then formed the plan of throwing forward a sufficient force by converging roads to attack the enemy’s reserves at Ceutreville, so soon as the main body of the latter became inextricably engaged on the left. Late in the day, finding that Gen Exvell, who was posted on the extreme right of our line, had not moved forward in accordance with the programme and the special order which had been sent to him, Gen. B. dispatched a courier to Gen Ewell, to inquire the reason why the latter had failed to advance, and received a reply from Gen. E:, stating he had not received any such order.— The enemy’s attack having then become too strong, on tho left, to warrant carrying out the original plan, as it xvould take three hours for Gen. Ewell's brigade to reach Centreville, it became necessary to alter the plan, change fr< nt on the left, and bring tip our reserves to that part of the field.— Tilts movement xvas superintended in person by- Gen. Johnston, Gen. Beauregard remaiug to direct the movement in front. At the tune when Gen. Kirby Smith and Gen Early came up xvith their divi-ions and appeared on the right of the enemy, our forces on the left occupied the cord of tlie arc of a circle, of which the arc itself was occupied by the enemy—the ex tromes of their lines flanking ours. The appear ance ot Smith's and Early's brigades, and their charge on the enemy's right, broke the Iiue of the latter and threw tlitm into confusion, when short ly afterwards the rout became complete. Gen. Beauregard highly compliments General— then Colonel—t.vans, (commanding a brigade)— ai d uoxv the hero of l^eeshurg—for tho extraordi nary military aptitude arid great gallantry he dis played in his movement from Stone Bridge to Sudley’s Ford, after receiving the enemy’s first onset at Stone Bridge. General Evans had only about one thousand men, but divining that the enemy's movement was a concentric one, and that bis columns had gone through the woods to the left, and xvould attempt to cross at Sudley's Ford he left at Stone Bridge four hundred men, and tiling off towards tho ford at Sudley’s, with 6(10 men kept the enemy at bay there for nearly an hour, although in force several thousand strong. General Beauregard settles forever the various questions so much disputed respecting this battle He acknowledges the great generosity of General Johnston, in fully according to him (Gen. B.) the right to carry out the plans he had formed with re lation to this campaign, in yielding the command of the field after ex tiling and cordially approving the plan of battle, and in the effective co-operation which General Johnston so chivalrously extended to him on that eventful day. He remarks that the retreat of our forces from Fairfax, immediately previous to the engagement of the JStb, in the first instanceotnecord of volun teers retiriug before an engagement and with the object of giving battle in another positiou i lie number under liis command on the 13th Ju ly are set down at 17,000 effective men, and on 21st, to 23,000, which includ-s 6,200 of Johnston’s army, and 1700 brought up bj' Gen. Holmes from Fredicksburg. The killed on our side in this ever-memorable battle are stated in tbe report to have been in num ber 393,and wounded 1200. T lie enemy’s killed, wounded, and prisoners are estimated by Gen. Beauregard at 4,500, which does not include the missing. Theieport is rather lengthy, and is accompanied by anothei from Gen. Johnston, giving an account of tlie movements of bis army at Winchrster and march to Manassas, also by the reports of brigade commanders. It will be seen that the hero of Fort Sumpter and Manassas can write as well as ho can fight—that he wields the pen of a Caesar as well as tlie sword of a Wellington. In modesty and bravery he exemplifies the highest type of a true soldier, and has earned an undying fame.— The graceful tribute he pays to his brave troops is well merited, and will endear him more and more to men who are proud to rally under his standard. It is none the least of Beauregard * merits that he was willing to cncountrran army so ranch larger and so much better appointed than bis own, and ACTS AND RESOLUTIONS of the Second Session of the PROVISIONAL CONGRESS or THE CONFEDERATE STATES. 1361. 4Ri.il*, tlt!ittiiu;-Viiii<J. | ( m, ,< a, l , a .
