The Great Battle. n." ihe most intense excitement prevailed in the city yesterday upon the reception of the news of the great battle at Manassas on Sunday, and the bril- - - liant victory achieved by the Southern forces, and as soon as our extra reached the etrcct, tho wildest shouts went up in honor of tho victory from the large crowd in front of our office, and stirring - speeches were made by Judge Tcit;-ix- . Col. Eataue, Gen.' Qoables and others. Tho details of this brilliant victory, as far as re- ceived, will lie found iu our telegraphic columns. It was undoubtedly the greatest battle ever fought ' on thi continent, and is an enduring monument of the generalship of our noble leaders. Our North-e- m dispatches represent the most intense excite ment and the greatest alarm prevailing at Wash ington.and well may the u urpers tremble. Owing to an interruption of the line between . KnoxviUeand Lynchburc, we arc without our usual dispatch from our special correspondent at Manassas. The dispatches we publish show that '"the carnage has been terrible. Our latest dispatches represent the killed on the enemy's side as amount ing to 4,000 or 5,000. Our own loss has probably been very heavy, but we have no details. The people of the North will now see how gross ly they h&ve been deceived by their leaders, who have been pleased to term the uprising of the South. era people to preserve their independence, an insig nificant rebellion which could be easily .crushed out Our men have covered themselves all over with glory ! Sunday a Day of Battles. Gen. Scott is said to be partial to Sunday as a day of battle, and to have selected that day on more occasions than the present for his great en- gagements. A contemporary says the great battle of Barnet was fought on Easter Sunday, April 14, 1471. The battle of Vald, or Lafleld, near Maes-trich- t, was fought on Sunday, the 2d of July, 1757. The Peninsula was fruitful in Sunday fighting. The second battle in Portugal, that in Fimiera, was fought on Sunday. 31st of August 1603. The bat- tle of Fuentns d'Onor was gained on Sunday, 5th of May, 1811. On Sunday evening. ICth of Janua- ry, 1812, Lord Weixixqtox issued the brief bnt de- termined order that "Cuidad Roderigo must be carried bv assault this ayenintr at 7 o'clock." The-- battle of Orthes was fought on Sunday, the 27th of February, 1M1, and that of Toulouse, tho last general action of the Peninsula war. occurred on Easter Sunday, the 10th of April following. The battle of "Waterloo was also decided en Sunday, the 18th of June, 1815. The second Burmese war af- forded two examples Easter Sunday, the 11th of April, 1852, th.e attack on the lines of defence at Rangoon, and the attack and capture of Pegu, oi Sunday, the 21st of November, 1832. The victory of Inkarmann was achieved on Sunday, the 5th of November, 1R51; and, to crown the whole,it was on Sunday, the 10th of May, 1S57, that the terrible In- dian mutiny broke out at Meerut. A Northern Bishop ox the War Qckmiox. The "Right Rev. Jami:s Kocslyki.t Bati-ht- , BUhop of Newark, N. J., in dedicating a Church on Sunday, 23d ult, had the boldness and patriotism to con- demn, in strong language, the unnatural war now waged by the North against the South. He declar- ed almost incredible the folly of the people, who bad allowed themselves to be seduced into this wicked war at the bidding, RDd to satisfy the ca- price of a few Northern fanatics. .

It appears that ninety-on- e members of the New Hampshire Legislature have solemnly protested against the appropriation of $1,000,000 for armintr and equipping State troops. In their protest they say: We have asked whether this war contcmplate-- j re- union: and if so. in what manner arms arc to achieve that object? We have asked whether it means the desolation of Southern homes, the over- throw of Southern institutions, and the destruction of our own race there. Presidext Davis' Message. We publish this morning the message of President Davis to the Congress ot the Confederate States, which was telegraphed to the Augusta Cfawiicfe ami Serdintl It Is a calm and dignified statement of public affairs, which will command universal attention and ap- proval. Negro Patriot:sm. Tliero is a negro man in the town of Greenwood, who soea by the name ot "Free Jim;"' he is a slave, however, and he came by the ramo of "Free Jim,'' as his master told him Borne time.since that as he had worked well and faithful for him. ho might use his own time in mak ing a living for himself until his services should In- required again.

Jim then said that lie would tender his wagons hacks and teams for their use. and gave the boys a rousing supper the other night. Some forty or flftj partook of an elegant supper, all the free gift of a negro, who is overflowing with patriotism for the . Southern cause. Vicksburg (Miss ) San. Death op Mr. .Morgan. We regret to have to an nounce the death of an estimable and amiable citi- zen, Mr. John F. Morgan, late a partner of the house i of llutton t Co., printers, and formerly one of the proprietors of the Nashville Patriot. He died yes terday morning at one o'clock, of consumption leaving a wife and five children. He was a gentle- man of many virtues as a citizen and of unusually amiable domestic qualities Memphis hpptal,JulyZ XlrlhinriHiflfe aAdrvAfred to TOll at thQ .commencement of tto segeioiyppntaioedacU fun lUIOrmauon Ol uju uuuieucfiu; iu w isuus essary that I should now do no "more thancall ypur attention to such important facts a have' occurred durina the recess, and to mattera coucectcd with the of new members to our Confederation of free, equal and sovereign States.

The States of Arkansas, Norm' Carolina anil ia have likewise adopted the permanent Consti- tution' of the Confederate States," and cb doubt is .en- tertained of its adoption by Tennessee at the election to be held early next month. - I deemed it advisable to direct the removal of the1 several Esecjitive Departments, with their archives, to this cltv, to which you had removed the seat of Government, immediately after your adjournment The aggressive jnTcm(,nt tae enemy required prompt, energetic action. The accumulation of lits forces on the Potomac sufficiently demonstrated that his iflbrts were to be directed against Virginia; and from no point could the necessary measures for her defence and protection bp so c fluently directed as from hor own capital. The rapid progress of events for the last few weeks has fully sufficed to atrip the veil behind wliif.h thn irne nolicr imd nurnoses of the Govern ment of the United States has been previously con cealed Their odious features now stana luiiy re- vealed. The message of their President and tho action of their Congrces during the present month, confess the intention of subjugating these States by a war whose folly is equalled only by its wickedness a war which it is impossible to obtain the proposed result: whilst its dire calamities, not be avoided by us, will fall with dtuble severity on themselves. Commencing, in March last, with tho affectation of ignoring the secession of the seven States which first organized this Government; persisting, in April in the idle and absurd assumption of tho existence of a riot which was to be dispersed by a. posse com Ualus; continuing, in successive months, the false representation that these States intended an offen sive war in spite of conclusive - evidence to the contrary, as by the very basis on which this Govern- ment is constituted the President of the United States and his advisers succeded in deceiving the people of those States into the belief that the pur- pose of this Government was not for peace at home, but conn nest abroad not the defence of its own liberties, but the subversion of those of .the people. of the Lnitedfctate8. The series of mintcuvres by which this impres- sion was created the with which they were de visedand the perfidy with which they were exe cuted are alreaoy kdowh to you; out you coma &carcelv havesunnosed that they would be openly avowed, and their success made the subject of boast and self laudation in an Executive messige. Fortunately for the truth of history, however, the President of the United States details with minute-nefc- s the attempt to reinforce Fort Pickens, in viola tion of an armistice, ot wnicn ne comesses to cave been informed, bnt only by rumors too vague and uncertain to fix attention. The hostile expedition despatched to supply Fort Sumter, admitted to have been undertaken with the lciinwlrdsc that its success was impossible ; the sending of a notice to the Governor of South Caroli- na of his intention to use force to accomplish his ob- ject, and then quoting from his inaugural address the assurance that there could be no conflict unless these States were the aggressors, he proceeds to de- clare that his conduct, as just related by himself, was the performance of this promise, so free from the power of ingenious sophistry as that the world should not be able to misunderstand it ; and in of his own statement that ho gave notice of the approach of the hostile fleet he charges these States with becoming the assailants of the United States. Without a gun in sight or in expectancy to return their fire, save only a few in the fort, he is indeed fully justified in saying that case is so free from the power cf ingenious sophistry that the world will not be able to misunderstand it." Under the cover of this unfounded pretense, that the Confederate States are the assailants, that high functionary, alter expressing his concern that some foreign nations had so chaped their actions as if they "supposed the early destruction of our National Union probable, he abandons all further difguise, and nronoses to make this contest a short one, by nlacicor at the control of the Government, for the work, 100,000 men and S400.000.000. The Congress concurring in the doubt thus intimated as to the suflWency of the force demanded, has increased- - it to half a million ot men. These enormous preparations in men and money for the conductor the war on a scale more gigantic than any which the New World ever witnessed, is a diitinciive avowal, in the eyes of civilized man, that the United States are engaged in a conflict with a great and powerful nation. They are at last com- pelled to abandon the pretext of being engaged in tho dispersing of rioters and tho suppressing of in- surrections, and are driven to the acknowledge- ment that the ancient Union has been dissolved. They recognize the separata exsteec of these Con- federate States by the interdiction by embargo and blockade of all commerce between them and the United States, not only by sea but by land not only on ships, bnt in cars not only with those who bear arms, but with the entire population of the Confederate States: finally, they have repudiated the foolish conceit that the inhabitants of this Con- federacy are citizens of the United States, for they are waging an indiscriminate war upon them all with a savage ferocity unknown to modern civi- lization. In this war rapine is the rule private residences and peaceful rural retreats are bombard- ed and burned, grain crops in the field are consum- ed by the torch, and when the torch is not conven- ient careful labor U bestowed to render the cem-plet- e destruction cf every article of use or orna- ment rtmainirg in private dwellings after their in- habitants have fled from the outrages of a brutal soldiery. In 1781 Great Britain when invading her revolted colonics, took possession of every district of the country near Fortress Monroe now occupied by the troops of the United States; tho houses inhabited by the people after being respected and protected by the avowed invaders, are now pillaged and de- stroyed by men who pretend that the victims ar? their fellow-citizen- Mankind will shudder to hear tho tales of outrages committed on defenseless fe- males, by the soldiers of the United States, now in- vading our homes. Yet these outrages are prompted by mflamcd passions and the madness of intoxica- tion, but who shall depict the horror with which they regard the cool deliberate malignity with which4 under the pretext of suppressing an insur- rection: said by themselves to be upheld by a min- ority only of our people, they make special war on the sick, including women and children, by carefully devised measures to prevent their obtaining the medicine necessary fur their cure! The sacred claims of humanity, respected even during the fury of actual battle, by a careful diversion of the at- tack from the hospitals containing the wounded enemies, arc outraged in cold blood by a govern- ment and people that prctenl to desire the continu- ance of fraternal connections. All those outrages must remain unavenged save by the universal re. probation of mankind. In all cases where the ac- tual perpetrators of the wrong escape capture, they admit ot no retaliation; tho humanity of our peo- ple would shrink instinctively from ths base idea of waging a like war upon the sick, tho women and the childien of the entmy. But thore are other savage practices which have been resorted to by the gorernment of the United States which do ad- mit of i epression by retaliation. I have been driven to the necessity of enforcing this repression. The prisoners of war, taken by the enemy on board tho armed schooner Savannah sailing under our commission, were, as I was creiibly advised, treated like common felons, put in irons, confined in a jail usually appropriated to criminals of the worst dye. and threatened with punishment as such. I had made application for the exchange of the pris- oners, to the commanding officer of the enemy's squadron ofl'Charleston; but that officer had already sent the prisoners to New York when my applica- tion was made. J. therefore, deemed it my duty to renew the proposal for exchange to the constitu- tion cammandep-in-chie- f of the Army and Navy of the United States the only officer having control of prisoners. To this end I dispatched an officer to him, under a flag of truce, and in making the proposal I informed President Lincoln of my resolute purpose to check all barbarities on prisoners of war by surh severity of retaliation on prisoners held by us as should secure the abandonment of the practice. This com- munication was received and read by the officer in command of the army of tho United States, and a message was brought from him, by the bearer of my communication, that a reply would be returned by President Lincoln as soon as possible. I earn- estly hope this promised reply, which has not yet been received, will convey the assurance that pris- oners of war will be treated in this unhappy contest with that regard lor humanity which has made such conspicuous progress in the conduct of modern warfare. As measures of precaution, however, acd until the promised reply is received, I still re- tain in custody some officers captured from the ene- my, whom it had been my pleasure previously to goat large on parole and whose fate must neces -- arily depend on that of prisoners held by the enemy. 1 append a copy of my communication to the President and Commander-in-Chie- f the army and navy of th3 I mted States, and of the report ol the fficcr chargtd to deliver it, marked "ducument A.'' There are some other passages in the remarkable paper to which I have directed your attention, hav ..g rafrence tothe peculiar relations which exist Uween this Government and the States usually rmed border slave States, which cannot be prop-rl- y withheld from notice.

We may well rejoico that we have forever s'evfered our connection wilh & Gov- ernment, that thus tramples on all principles of constitutional liberty, and with a people in whose presence such avowals could be hazarded. The operations in the field will be greatly ex- tended by reason of the policy which heretofore secretly entertained, is now avowed and acted on by tho United States. The forces hitherto raised prbved ample forthe defence of tho States which,. orjgmauyorgamz2tL.tneLomedcracy.-t- s is evinced by tho fact, that with the exception of three fortified islands, whose defence is efficiently aided by a pre- ponderating naval force, the enemy has been driven completely out of thoso States, and at tho expira- tion of live months from the formation' of the Government, not a single hostilo foot presses their soil. These forces, however, must necessarily prove in- adequate to repel invasion by tho half million men now proposed by tho enemy, and a corresponding in- crease of our forces will become necessary. The recommendations for the raisingand efficient equip- ment of this additional force-wil- l ba contained in the communication of the secretary of War, to which I need scarcely invito, your ea'rnestattention, In my message delivered in April last, I referred to the ' promise of abundant crops with which we were cheered. The grain crops . generally have since been harvested, and tho yield proved mo? t abundant known in our histary. Many believes the supply adequate to two years "consumption of out population. Cotton, sugar, and' tobacco, forming the surplus production Of our agriculture, and fur- nishing the basis of our commercial interchanges, present the most cheering promise, and a kind Pro- vidence has smiled on tho labor which 'extracts the teeming wealth of our soil in all portions of our Confederacy. It is the more cralif'vlmr to be able togive you these facts,' because of the need of Ja'ga mi increased expenditures in support of our army. Elevated and purified by the sacred cause they maintain on our fellow-citizen- s of every condition of life, exhibit the most devotion. Tuey manifest a laudable pride in upholding their independence, unaided any jesources, other than our own, and the immense wealth which a fertile soil, and genial climate, have accumulated in this Confederacy of agriculturists could not be .more strikingly displayed than in the large revenues which, with eager zeal, they have contributed at the call of their country. In the single article of cotton the subscription to the loan prcposwby the Government cannot fall short of fifty million dollars, and will probably ex- ceed that sum, and scarcely an article required for consumption by the army is provided otherwise than by subscription to produce loans as happily devised by your wisdom. The Secretary of the Treasury, in a report sub- mitted to you. will give you the amplest details connected with that branch of the public service; but it is not alone on their prompt pecuniary Co- ntributions that the noble of freemen. who in- habit theso States evince how worthy they art- of those liberties which they know so well how to defend. In numbers far exceeding those author- ized your laws they have pressed the tender of their services against the enemy. Their attitude of calm and sublime devotion to their country the cool and confident couage witli which they are already preparing to meet the threatenhd invasion, whatever proportions it mayassume the assurance that their sacrifices and their services will be re- newed from year to year, with unfaltering purpose, until they have made go'ad to the uttermost their right of the generous and almost ucquestionin? confidence which thep display in their government during the pending struggle, all com- bine to present a spectacle such as the world has rarely, if ever, seen. To spoak of subjugating such a people so united and determined, is to speak a language incompre- hensible to them to resist an attack on their rights or their liberties, is with them an instinct Whether this war shall last one or three or five years, is a problem they leave to be solved by the enemy alone. It will last till the enemy shall have withdrawn from their borders, till their political rights, their altars andtheir homes are freed from iova&ion. Then, and then only, will they rest from this struggle, to enjoy in peace the blessings which, with the favor of Providence, they have secured by the aid of their own strong hearts and sturdy arm.

TIu Richmond mail failed yesterday and we are without newspaper details of the battle of Bull's Run. The Richmond Examiner of the 10th contains the following: Tassengers by the Central train, who left Manas- sas Junction yesterday morning, and arrived in this city at half past eight last night, report that on Wednesday morning the enemy, t ith a force of 45 000 men, advanced on Fairfax Court House. Our several Regiments stationed in that vicinity, pursu- ant to instructions from headquarters, after slight skirmishing, fell back on Bull's Run. where there is erected an extensive and formidable breastwork. In the skirmish at Fairfax Court House, the enemy had twenty-fiv- e killed and a large number wound- ed. One of our men was struck in the foot by a ball, nnd another received a slight flesh wound in the body. Ths horses baulking with one of CoL Kemper's guns, which he had just fired into the enemy's ranks, he was obliged to spike and abandon it. The same passengers also report that the fight was renewed by tho enemy's advance, on Bull's Run, this morning: but. as to the resnlt. they are of course, ig- norant, having left the neighborhood at a very early hour. Bull's Run is only four miles beyond Manas sas, in the direction of Alexandria. Cooper was reported last night to have received a telegram from Colonel Bonham's Adjutant to the effect that, at three o'clock, the enemy advanced on our lines, stationed at Bull's Run; and that, after two hours' fighting, his center had given way, and immediately his whole force beat a retreat. Colonel Bonham was said to be in full pursuit. From the same source, we learn that our loss was trilling, whilst that of the enemy was tremendous. Colonel P. T. Mooro was said to have been slightly wounded in the arm. Still Later Gloriocs News! Information (ap- parently reliable) was given us last night that the Hessian General, McDowell, advanced upon same of the outposts of Manassas on yosterday morning with a force of 10 000 men. After a fight of four hours, the Federals were repulsed with great slaughter, and at last accounts were ''ganging back,'1 Sawme style, to the environs of Alexandria. LATER AXI HIOItLT IMI'ORTAXT.

The Secretary of War nnd Adjutant-Genera- l informed me that they have no particulars as to the Confederate loss, or names ol those killed or wounded in the battle yes- terday on Bull's Run near Minatsas. Private re- ports so far refer only to small losses in Virginia Kegiments. The loss of the Confederates is vastly disproporttoncd to that supposed to be the loss of the enemy. Wo will send details as soon as re- ceived. Ont. o'clock, r. v. The official accounts of the battle which took place yesterday at Bull b Run has just ber-- received at the War Department.

An inspection of the field of battle to day disclosed the fact that no lew than 986 of the Northern invaders were left deail on the field. About thii ty of the wounded were brought here on tho cars Also one dead body. The U. S. commanders sent cfl.ig of truce to-da- asking an armistice to bury the dead. The request was granted, Special Diip itch t3 the Nev Ortom Picayune. MaxaSsu, July 19. I have just returned from the battle field, which is strewn with the dead, muskets, soldiers caps and baggtx-- . rive hundred loaded muskets were taken and two pieces of cannon. The enemy were engaged all day y burying their dead. Many still are lying on the ground. Enemy's loss now estimated at one thousand. The carnage was fearful. Tho eneiy twice asked permission to day to take their dead off the field. The list of our infantry engaged were Col.

Captains Jenkins, who commanded a battalion of 500 men,had had an engagementwith about 1500 Fed erals. and killed 60 ot them, and. only lost one of the L;gion and had two slightly wounded. The man who was killed gent several of the enemy to their long-hom- e after he received the fatal shot that de- prived him of life. Ho was over 36 years of age and our informant regrets that he:ouldnot remem- ber the same. James Alexander, Esq., of Charlottesville, from Staunton, yesterday, furnishes us with the follow- ing intelligence: General Garnett's body is at Grafton, and will be sent in by Gen. McCIellan. He has also released all tho prisoners on parole except Col. Pegram, who is not wounded. Ho has agreed to "send them half way, where they are to be met by our forces. Such an agreement was entered Into bv the commanding officers of both armif s. Captain 'null, of the High- land company, informs me, and says his wagons were sent on yesterday te bring them in. Gen. Garnett's entire loss in his three engage- ments with the enemy does not exceed 25 killed. Lieut Sterre!t.of the Powhatan company, has the body of Capt. Skipwith carrying it home. Surgeon Walke, who was taken prisoner and re- leased, I hear, has said that McCIellan told him that General Gamete made three most brilliant fights, crippling him so that he could not pursue him. The loss ef the enemy was severe One of the Arkansas soldiers, named Samuel Baldwin, was thrown from the train on the track a few rods from the Hutton depot, yesterday, and had both his legs br.tken and died within an hour. All of General Garnett's army wil' arrivtd at Monterey to day or to morrow. The enemy are at Huttonsville. There are various estimates of the killed on our side at Rich Mountain, some say only forty, others two 1 undrcd; Captain Hull says one hund- red. A fight occurred between a part of General Wise's army and the enemy on Cook river. Eighty of the enemy were killed, and only a few of our men. Further Particulars. Tho Central train, due here yesterday afternoon at 2:40, did not arrive un- til nine o'clock last night. We learn from the pas- sengers that a portion of Col. Heck's forces had sur- rendered to the enemy. They also inform us that four companies of the Georgia Regiment (Col. Ram- sey's) had also surrendered. The names of the Captains of the Georgia companies which surren- dered are Captains Crump, Evans Williams or Wil-kin- s, and Pinkard. One of Gen. Garnett's aids, Col. W. E.

The enemy are coming this way. They have some 23,000 strong, but whether their purpose is to come he?e or cut off Wise is not known. M.G. Harmax, Major. In addition to the above dispatch, wo received late last night a long and interesting letter from our friend, James Alexander, editor of the Charlottes- ville Jtffersonkm, conveying many particulars of the battles fonght by Gen. Pegram and Gen. Gar- nett, but can only give a few extracts from the let- ter, being compelled to postpone its publication nn til Mr. Alexander writes from Char- lottesville, under date of yesterday, and had just returned from Staunton, where he saw and convers- ed with many persons who were in the battles re ferred to. The loss of our army at Rich Mountain, is var- iously estimated at from 10 to 100 Only two officers aro known to have been killed Capt. Skipwith, of the Powhatan Rifles, and Lt. Boyd, of the Buckingham Lee Guard. Lieut-Boy- fought gallantly, and was in the act of bayoneting Gea Rosencrants (in command of the Federal forces) when he was shot dead. Col Pegram was not killed or wounded Six hundred of his com- mand, including boys from Hampden Sidney Col- lege, were taken prisoners, but all were afterwards released, except Coi, Pegram, who was retained as prisoner on parole. After the figbt at Rich Mountain, the enemy at- tacked the rear of Gen Garnett's command, when he repulssd them two or three times. He lost about 20 or 25 only (no officers) and about 200 were taken prisoners. Gen. Garnett was killed while forming a Georgia regiment, which had been thrown into confusion. His body was at Grafton Wednesday, and was ex- pected to arrive in Staunton that night Only one cannon (a rifle cannon) was captured. Gen. Garnett's horse and equipments went down on the trs.in for Richmond yesterday (Thursday) morning. The loss of Gen. Garnett's command principally fell upon the Georgia regiment. None of Colonel Faulkner's command, from the Southwest, were hurt. frcm 11.3 Atyaiti Coroaicle aal Sentinel, Jslj SO.

They have not been heard from, but it is believed they are in the mountains, and will work their way out. The Walker Light In- fantry are of the number. Ten of the Oglethorpa Infantry are missing. It is feared about seven are killed. The whole number killed in the Georgia Regiment is thought to be about 35. Some 20 of the Regiment are here ; the others are looked for at headquarters at Monterey to night. - The Federal General, McCIellan, announced tho three fights made in the retreat by Garnett as very gallant. Your Regiment fought gloriously. Wo feel a deep interest iu its fate. Can't you send us more such men. W. A. Tkoot. Mayor of Staunton. Richmond, July 19. Col. Starke, the aid to Gen. Garnett, says there was no pitched battle but mere skirmish fighting on the day Garnett was killed. The enemy occupied the hill, and Ramsey's Georgia Regiment was ordered to dislodge them. The Georgians moved up gallantly four companies on the right of the stream in the mountain gorge, and six companies on the left of the stream. The enemy appearing in such overwhelming numbers, Ramsey gave orders to retreat. It is believed the four com- panies did not hear the order, but marched on, and were probably immediately surrounded, It is hoped however, the four companies may yet reach camps, Garnett's command only lost 20 killed, unless somo of tha four missing companies were killed. No official details have yet been received. The balance of Garnett's command are safe. Richmond, July 19. An intelligent and reliable gentleman, who left Staunton this morning, says that all the missing companies of Ramsey's Georgia Regiment are at Monterey safo. They were prison- ers and released on parole. Staoxtox, July 19. To R. n. Mat, Augusta : The Oglethorpe Infantry and Walker Light Infantry are all safe, except two killed, Messrs.

The Richmond Enquirer has been permitted to make the following extract from a letter written by a member of Captain Stokes' Lunenberg Rifllo com- pany, which company waj with Col. Pkobav in hia fight at Rich Mountain. Tho lotfer wai writtcna" I Monterey, in Hiblgand county, V., July 16th J 1801: J,No doubt you fcavo heard of our defeat. Our company was not in the fight. We were placed at; . the breast works (just commenced) where it was thought tho hardest of the fight would be; but the enemy did not attsck'tisf there. "A ftei' the defeat in-re- at the top of the mountain, CoL Pegram sent for ce of our regimcr.t, and said If we TTotild follafrr him he rcisliivsthjmalltatiJa.if it v oat birr, the lsj tor p of tlocH hi utd. We told him a hcuU and, 30 hi- - started. ..nr company in front, and want around under tha iae cf the mountain .and approached the top of it near the enemy. FindiDjj their numbers so large, ha to Maj. Nat. Tyler to oate uj if fcejccild, nd hft would go back and .save the other3 if he could. So Maj. Tyler J eel us down tho moun- tain hi a Tery.sm.ill path hut it soon got very dark, and the rain came down in torrents it was so dark you couldn't see your hand before you, and we lost the path and got very much scat'ered, but many of us got together again after awhile and got into a path again in & deep ravine, where a great deal of water had collected, and had to go through mud and water from ankle) to knee deep. Wo reached Bev- erly before son-ris- but proceeded on to Huttons- ville, where we overtook CoL Scott returning east, Wc continued our march night and day, till we got here on Sunday night, not stopping long enough, but once, for the h9nes to eat enough. Our men are worn out; but tho wonder is, that they got hero at all. It was c; rtainly a great mistake to tend a little handful of men away up nmong our enemies, with- in a few hours' march of Yankee railroad, when it took us ten or twelve days to reinforce. I repeat, the wonder is, that any of na escaped. We had 1,500; they had 10,000. I came off with nothing on my back but a shirt and my gingham jacket and we had a cold and rainy time. I am well with the exception of a cold. Captain Jones' company, from Brunwick, got lost from us the night of tho battle, and most of Captain Bruce's company also, but they are safe and will bo here" Pegram left camp that night with some six hundred, and we hear they aro taken pris- oners, Dr. Atkinson company, Hampden Sidney, with them. Twenly-seve- n of our men ars still out. I heard from a man who "was taken prisoner . and got away, that they wero with Pegram, and are I suppose, taken prisoners. The present understmd-in- s here is, that General Garnett is killed ; his men killed, scattered and taten-priaoners- r. We lost all we had. The Enquirer also publishes the following extract from a letter from a gentleman of high standing, who holds a position in Gen. Garnett's army, to a relation in that citr : Moxteeet, July 15. On Sunday, July 7th, tho ene- my appeared before our camp about 5,000 strong, and a" sharp skirmishing continued from that time until Friday though with slight loss on our side. On Friday last I was sect with despatches to CoL Leo at Buffalo Gap, and on my return to Monterey, learned that after a severe battle of three hours, in which 250 of our men kept in check from 3,000 to 4,000 of tbe enemy they succeeded in getting to the rear of CoL Pegram's command, and thus hem- med in his small force of 1.800, between 3,000 or 4,000 in tbe rear, and about5,000 in front with eight pieces of artillery, consequently nothing was left them but to escape the best way they could. I un- derstand CoL Heck, with about 1,000 men, made his way to Gen. Garnett, who is reported to be retreat- ing through Pendleton, and is expected here soon. Our men were betrayed by some Union men who led the enemy across the mountain to tbe rear. CoL Pegram commanded in person and had three horses killed under Mm was severely injured by a fall from one of them. Some of his nun who have made their way to this village think he has escaped, others think he has fallen into the hands of the ene- my. I sincerely hope he is safe, for a more noble hearted and gallant fellow never wore a swerd. This wiU be a severe blow to the General, whose situation I fear will never be properly appreciated in the East -- surrounded with Union men with a force too small to inspire any ccrifidence in the few who manifested any disposition to join or aid htm having to wagon all of his supplies for a distance of 120 miles across the mountains, his situation seems very trying but he has mnnaged, despite all difficulties, to gain the entire contidence of his men and officers, and but for this misfortune whereby the enemy have gotten to the rear, a different state of things might have been looked for soon. Gen. McCIellan is reported rapidly advancing across the mountains. He is now said to be near Greenbrier river. THE WAR. Newt, Gossip, Huuiori, and Idea Iroin It lack. Republican Source.

A number of trophies were brought here which were taken in the rout of the Rebels, including a commissary's tent of the ."d S. F. Regiment, a lot of clothing, hats, boots, guns, palmetto buttons, .to. The dreaded masked batteries turned out to be only batteries. Reports are prevalent and credited that a fight of minor importance has taken place at Ball's River, five miles from Manassas Junction, and several were killed and wounded on the Federal side from a bat- tery. An officer from the seat of war, who reached here t, bring3 information that the troopa which marched from Fairfax Court Houso appeared before Centreville about' one o'clock this morning. They halted within half a mile of the enemy's and instead of a battle, they suddenly saw the national flag hoisted over the town, and a solitary man running down the lino an- nouncing that the enemy had fled. The band played the banner amid the cheering of the Federal troops. It is said there were 7,000 or 8,000 Confederates at Centreville, but the number was probably much exaggerated. They took their cannon with them. It is reported on tho authority of several officers that the news of McClellan's victory was generally known at Manassas The army was to march on Manassas Junction this afternoon. The New York ieraU'a camp correspondence says: The fact is established that the Rebel force at Fairfax was composed of their crack regiments. The retreat of these men without showing fight will demoralize the whole force at Manassas Junc- tion. A signal dispatch from Gen. Beauregard to Gen. Cooke, commanding the rebel forces at German-tow- n, was found He instructed him to keep a very careful lookout on Tuesday evening, thereby showing that some traitors in Washington apprized the Rebels of the time of advance. Late this afternoon a gentleman arrived here di- rect, by way of Manassas Junction. He left there last night. He repsrts that there were at Manassas last nicht only 12,000 men. Their means of defence were elaborately prepared, but it is his opinion that they will not withstand an assault. They lal at the Junction 150 railroad car-- . On Sunday night Beauregard went to Richmond. The command at the Junction devolved on Gen. Crenshaw, second in command. At Richmond there was a military consultation as to what course should be pursued. It was after this conference that tho immense train of cars was sent up to the junction. This is a .significant fact, it is now believed the Rebels will leave the junction, and make their first great stand at Richmond. They have already mounted 70 can-n- n of large calibre, and have some 10,000 whites land negroes at work day and night on the defen- ses. - CorrnposiliEce of tha New Y01 k Trlbane. WAsmxtiTos, July 18. Gen. Tyler's column mov- ed atJ-- t o'clock this morning, and passed through Centreville without firing a gun. They halted about two miles beyond, while a reconnoitermg party went to a creek called- - Bull'd Run. A concealed battery opened on our troops, wounding a Sergeant. Two of our heavy guns were brought to bear on them and soon silenced tho Rebel battery. ' Col. Richardson's brigade was then SVnt out skir mishing, ana soon woke up tbe rebel batteries on the other side, which were followed by a heavy fire of musketry, which was returned by our men. The engagement lasted half an hour, but they were too well protected and were too much for the small force opposed to them. Our men fell "back in good order. The rebels, whose flag floated from a mill cheered lustily. At this moment a shell from a new battery hitherto silent and unknown, burst ou the top of the hill were our first battery had been sta- tioned, and where there were a number of civilians. Several cssaalties occured. but no one was mortal- ly wounded. Several were wonnded by bullets. Edwin Morse, Company A, 3d Michigan Regiment, was struck by a bomb in the koees. The wound is regarded as severe, but not dangerous. All on the hill, both civilians and military men, deemed it prudent to withdraw. The operator at Springfield Station, however, re- ports heavy cannonading was heard there between five and six o'clock. We have mentioned above the names of all the wounded whom we saw, but there is no doubt that a considerable number of our men fell, who wero taken to the rear after we left.

Tho correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial furnishes that paper with a list of the killed and wounded, in the Indiana regiments only, as far as his information went, in the late battle in the moun- tains, as follows : Killed in 8th regiment, 2; In the 10th, 3; in the 13th. 7; total. 12. Wounded in the 6th regiment. 23; in tbe 10th. 25; in the 13th, 7; total 55; of whom two are mortally wounded.

We add the following, dated Beverly, the 10th : PRISOXKRS OP WAR. I witnessed a moat melancholy procession yester- day. Indeed it was touching. The rebel command- er. Col. Pegram, after flying from his stronghold with bis forces, found himself shut up in tbe moun tains without food and no refuge. A council of his officers advised surrender. His force, excepting six hundred, had scattered. He addressed a note toGen. McClellan; proposing to surrender, cl the Generals Aids, Lieut Key and Capt Lawrence A. Williams, U. S. A., went out to receive, the surren- der. This afternoon they marched sadly into Dev. erly. and stacked their arms where some of them had but lately encamped. The prisoners will be quartered here for the present A detachment, guided by a rebel Lieutenant, is out in the moun- tains now looking for 126 more of Pegram's com- mand, who are famishing in the mountains. They are ordered by their commander tosurrcnder. We have now 700 prisoners, with 1,000 stand of arms, chit fly U.S. muskets changed from flint to percus sion locks. The wounded of both parties are being removed from Rich Mountain to this place. Colonel Pegract is quite ill having been seri- ously hurt by being thrown from his hone in battle.

He left Roariug Run with 1,800, not more than 1,200 of whom were in the action altogether, and ooly 800 at one time. It is impossible to estimate the force of the enemy they differ widely in their own statements ; some-sa- 300, other officers say 400 and 450. Col.Pegram Informed mo that he had five companies in action: Some of their wounded reported immediately after they were captured that they bad 500 to 900.
