Mrs, Nancy Webb, lady ninety years
old, was killed by her son-in-law, Freder-
lex A. Smith, of Stamford, ct, on Tuesday
last. He was insane from the effect of a
fever from which he had scarcely recovered
and had been left alone with her but few
moments, during which he attacked and
beat her with a hoe until she was SO injured
that she lived but thirty-six hours after
wards.

A gentleman, resilient OF Richmond,
Virginia, ten years, was here last night.
He left that Secession city on Wednes-
day of last week. He had many friends
before the epoch of Secession, but ev-
er since the war began. has been re-
garded with suspicion; has often been
grossly insulted, and was at length re-
quired either to leave the city or enlist
in the Southern army. Not being in
good health, he obtained apass to White
Sulphur Springs. Watching an oppor-
tunity. he took passage to Tennessee;
made his way from there to Louisville.
and then found no difficulty in getting
beyond the enemy's power. He left
valuable property in Richmond. and is
going to Washington with information
for the Government. He says the ac-
counts of army movements in the New
York papers have been of great service
to the Confederates. Anything shad-
owing forth contemplated movements
by Beauregard, is forbidden to the Rich
mond papers, and would be visited with
direct punishment, but they are full Of
extracts from the Northern journals,
about what Gen. Scott and the War De-
partment intend, and they publish with
peculiar relish. all complaints Of, and
attacks upon. any of the officers of the
Government, or of the Union army.
This gentleman says Richmond had
not been fortified, and he does not think
the army at Manassas Junction will. in
any event. fall back on that city for
stand. He represents the bitterness
toward Yankees as grand in its intensi-
ty, and thinks the greater portion Of
the Secession soldiers will fight vigor-
ously. In the main, the army is well
provided for. IA

WHAT A MICHIGAN LADT Saw AT
MASAssAs.-Mrs. Hensdale, whose hus-
band is member Of the Second Michi-
gan Regiment, whichis now on the
Virginia side OF the Potomac, has re-
turned from Manassas Junction. She
was at Centerville during the engage
ment on Sunday, snd waited there for
the return Of the soldiers, looking for
her husband. Failing to see him, she
supposed him prisoner at Manassas.
The enemy captured and conveyed her
thither, and employed her there as
hospital nurse. On Thursday she pro-
cured pass from Gen. 'Beauregard,
and his consent to ieave.sf9 .sia .r
She walked to Alexandris where she
arrived this morning fa6gued and ex-
,hausted.- Her husband was not priso-
ner. but returned with his regiment.
She reports as being at the Junction
large number of our wounded. The
enemy say they have over 1000 pris-
oners. Mrs. H. brings verbalmessages
from several to their friends, and says
that the wounded are well cared for.
The offer of liberty has been granted
to those who will take the oath to not
again take up arms against the Con-
federates. a few had done so, but the
majority had refused. OF the prisoners
in the hospital are Henry Perrin and
Lieut.. Underhill of New York, who are
employed as hospital stewards. E. F.
Taylor of New Jersey, Surgeon Quar-
termaster, c. l. Murphy. DR.. Swift,
John Bagley and Verdenburg of the
18th New York, are in the hospital.
Surgeon Baxton of the. 9th Maine,
and the Surgeons Of the 38th New
York. 18Th, Minnesota and Sd United
States Infantry are. prisoners. They
were all taken at our hospital near the
battle field. =rt "a .,.ft -t. ..
Mrs. Hensdale says that the Confed-
crates buried their dead as7fast as they
could be recovered, and that the enemy
represented they had: but about so
killed, but their wounded exceeded
1900. She saw many of our dead un-
buried as she passed over the battle
field, and distinguished some Of them
by their uniforms. She says the enc
my's force, is very large at Manassas,
and that the officers are very busy in
drilling and disciplining the troops,
that Gen. Beauregard is constantly on
the move, going from one part Of the
camp TO the other, and arranging. as
they said, for some great movement.
She reports that a large force of the
enemy is at Fairfax Court House with
heavy guns.

From the Boston Traveller.

The LONDON TINES CORRESPONDENT
AT THE BATTLE OF MANAssAs.-Capt.
Dolliver of this city, who was near
the contending hosts from an early
hour on the morning of the late battle
until its close, says that person unac-
'quainted with military movements could
only make ont vast columns Of smoke,
and hear incessant peals of heauy ar
tillery, and the whistling Of bullets.
During several hours Of the fight he
was is company with DR.. Russell, who
mounted on fne horse, and who ex-
planned to him some Of the movements
as they progressed.
Russell rode up to the fanks Of the
various divisions engaged, and saw the
distance they were apart. and the effect
Of the firing. which was decidedly in
favor of the Union troops. DR.. Russell
seems to have anticipated some disaster
in dhe rear, from a casual remark to
the effect that the battle was won, ''ii
no mishap overtakes the rear Of the
Federal forces" As he explained to
Capt. Dolliver some OF the movements.
he lent him his glass to see for himself.
He said that our troops held their own
like veterans when opposed by superior
numbers, but they lacked steadiness in
falling back.
DIR. Russell saw the rebel cavalry as
they emerged from the woods, and re-
marked to Captain Dolliver that they
numbered abouta thousand, and Captain
DolIiver himself says that he thinks
that DR.. Russell was about right in his
estimate. "A very. small force of even
infantry properly Aposted. could have
driven them off the field; but that force
was not at hand. They charged among
the teamsfers, and created panic,
which was moro destructive than theiI
swords. .haias7z5 @

PRIZES REcAPTUREp--WoEDERFUL
ExPLoITs OF NEeRo.-It has been al
ready announced by telegraph that the
schooner s. J. Waring and brig Cuba
had been taken from the hands of the
pirates and safely landed atNew York.
We find the following details in the
New York Heard: -
The schooner So Waring, Of Brook
haven, Smith, master, hence for Mon
tevideo, July 4, with an assorted cargo,
came up 10 the city this afternoon, and
we gather the following: Onthe third
day out from port-on the 7th--when
one hundred and fifty miles from Sandy
Hook, in latitude 38, longitude SO, was
brought to by the privateer, brig JEFF
Davis, who sent a boat full of men
alongside and ordered the captain ofthe
schooner to haul down the United States
flag, and declared her prize to the
Confederate States Of America. They
ransaeked the vessel and took from her
whatthey wanted, such as CHARTS quad
rant, provisions, crockery, DC, and
after returning to the schooner the sec.
ond time, they put prize crew Of FIVE
men on board without arms, and took
away Captain Francis Smith, the two
mates and two seamen, leaving the
steward, two seamen, and, Mr.. Brice
Mackinnon, passenger, on board. The
prize crew were Montague Amiel. a
Charleston pilot, in command, one nam
ed Stevens, as mate, and two men. Al
3 O'Clock in the afternoon the schooner
was headed South--probably. for
Charleston. or near by The remain-
ing crew and the passenger were in
hopes of recaptufe by some United
States vessel. and made themselves
agreeable and sociable to the pfivateers-
men, and in consequence they suspect
ed nothing until the night OF the 18th
of July, when Fifty milessto the south
ward Of Charleston, seeing no prospect
of their hopes being realized, and the
prize Captain and first mate asleep in
their bertbs, and the second mate at the
wheel, the others doing or .asleep, the
preconcerted plan was carried into effect
by the steward, William Tillman

THE MANASSAS BATTLE.-The battle
at Manassas does not seem to have been
by any means as great as the dispatches
of yesterday led US to suppose. 1t ap-
pears that not more than $4,000 U. S.
troops were engaged in it. The attack
was made prematurely and with insult
cient numbers, the Confederate troops,
reinforced by Johnson, being as two or
three to one. Gen. Patterson, there is
little doubt, disgraced himself. If he
could not be at the battle, he should at
least have prevented johnson from be-
ing there. He did nothing, he has done
nothing from the first, and he may be
expected to do nothing TO the last. He
may be brave enough and scientific
enough, but he is as slow as snail
He should be retired from the service
till after the war.
We felt some apprehension, from
Yesterdays dispatches, that the United
States troops did not exhibit the brave
ry that had been expected of them, but
this apprehension seems to have been
unjust. They fought like lions for four
hours and at last gave way only on ac-
count of the occurrence Of one Of those
sudden and disastrous panics to which
the bravest troops of all nations have
in all ages been subject. The troops Of
the United States are not braver than
those of the Confederate States, but they
are as brave, and-both seem to have
won, upon This. bloody occasion, the
most enthusiastic admiration OF the dis
tinguished correspondent Of the London
Times, who, after having seen all the
mighty conflicts in the Crimea, says
that he never in his life saw such fight
ing as that at Manassas.
The defeat of the United States army
has of course caused deep regret in all
parts OF the United States, but not a
moments desponding. nor the slightest
relaxation Of deep and stern determina'
ton. On the contrary, it has created
a stronger'a and more iinexorable spirit Of
resolve than that which has hitherto ex-
listed. The United States can furnish
a greater army than that of Xerxes,-
greater army of braver men and under
far more skilfnl leader The nation
might sustain score OF such defeats as
/ that at Manassas, and each successive
defeat would but deyelepe in a higher
degree the nations mighty energies
Alas that these lofty and exhaustless
energies should be taxed by domestic
/ foe!--Lou. Journal.
