Our corn ia stacked our hay secure,
Thank God and nothinr, my boy, remains,

Before the coz ing November rains.

Och wish that Maurice and Mary dear
Were singing beside US this soft day 4!
Of course they're far better off than here;
But whether they're happier, who can say9
I've heard, when its morn with us, It's night
With them on the far Australian shore =
W,u, heaven be about them wild visions bright,
And send them chiIder and money GALORE.
With Us there's many mouth to FL,
And so my boys, let's work with a will -
Work hand and foot,
Work spade and hand,

All, then, Paddy O'Eeardan, you laundering

Come over here, Katy, and mind your work.

relation between tue s07es and the general
government is fitting iRfroductlon to another
assertion of the message that the executive
possesses the power OF sAspending the habeas
corpus, and delegating thu power to military
commanders, at discretifn; aud both these
propositions claim respectVequal to that which
is felt tor the additional statement of opinion
of the same paper,-that 4 is proper, in order
to execute the laws, that khe same single law
be made to meet the extreme tenderness of
citizens for liberty, that practically it relieves
more of the guilty than of the innocent should
to very limited extent beIviolated. We may
well rejoice that we have fbrever severed con.
nection with a government that thus iramples
on all principles of constitutional liberty, with
people in whose presence such avowals
could be paraded.
Operations in the field will be greatly ex-
tended by reason Of the policy which, hereto
fore secretly entertained, is now ayowed and
acted on by the United States. The forces
hitherto raised proved ample for the defence
of the seven states which originally organized
the confederacy, with the exception of those
fortified islands whose defence was efiectually
aided by the preponderation of naval force
The enemy has been driven completely out of
those states The forces, however, must nee
essarily prove inadequate. On account of the
invasion by half a million men now proposed by
the enemy, a corresponding increase of our
forces becomes necessary. lie referred to the
abundant crops-most abundant in our histo
ry. Many believe the supply adequate for
two years consumption. Citizens manifest
laudable pride in unfolding their independence
unaided by any resources other than their
own, and the subscriptions to the loan pro-
posed by the government cannot fall short of
$50, 900, and probably largely exceed that
sum.

placed at II 500 men, including the Texan
Rangers and the Mississippi regiment. Gen.
Lyons strength will be between 10000 and
10000. The Jay Hawkers, under Jennison,
have been stationed on the line below here
some days. Jennison will maintain a force
of 200 or 300 men in that vicinity until the
United States troops arrive. The train which
passed here q month since, with the families
and property of United States soldiers from
the Indian country, was searched by him a
few days since, on its return, and a quantity
of ammunition, wagons, &C., taken. Jennison
has given his receipt for the articles seized, to

THE ENEMY OUTFLANKED.
THE COLUMNS IN MOTION.
A Great Battle at hand.

cENrREvILLE, VA, Sunday, July olivia
* Court House. I'VE have successfully
Prmked the enemy. AT halfpast 2 o'clock
Thlis morning the various regiments about
an entreville were formed for a march, and at
Gop they were in motion in the direction of
xp Perryve, leaving Bulls Run to the left. AT
the first gun was fired by thirty two
pound rified cannon, which had been sent
; ahead to batter masked batteries that might
be encountered on the road. There was no
reply from the enemy, and the advance moved
on.
AT Gen. McDowell's headquarters, three
miles beyond Centerville, the greater part Of
the army moved to the right to avoid bridge
some distance beyond, said to have been I'M
dermined. They will pass over the stream
upon pontoons prepared by Capt. Alexander
of the engineers corps, who has inspected the
country infinitely in previous reconnoisances,

the campaign is due A general battle is
expected today or tomorrow, which will
probably decide the fate of the whole cam

ton with Gen. Beauregard, he will be entirely
cut off by this maneuver, and thrown back
upon the mountains. His army will become
utterly demoraized, and probably fall into the
hands of Gen. Mcclellan, who is advancing
beyond the Blue Ridge Ii he has formed a
junction with Beauregard, it opens our com
munication with Gen. Patterson's column, and
thus reinforced the federal army can crush
out opposition. If we are driven back, the
army can retreat upon Centerville, and keep
open communication with Washington. If
Gen. Beauregard remains where he is, his
communications in the rear are endangered,
and Manassas Junction, being situated in the
apex OF a triangle formed by railroads, move
ments in his rear would destroy his commune
cation with Richmond.
The only danger federal troops run by this
flank march would be by sudden advance of
Beauregard upon Centervile, interrupting
communication and cutting off our supplies,
but this maneuver would be desperate, as he
would cut himself off from supplies, and place
himself in an exhausted country and between
the federal troops ana the Hotomac. 1he SIX
ty.ninth New York regiment was assigned the
post Of honor in the advance. The members
of this regiment have agreed unanimously to
serve, although their time is now out. All the
New York regiments will follow their exam
pie.
For five hours one steady column of troops
passed through Centervile The morals of
the soldiers is excellent. All are anxious for
battle, and when informed of the purpose to
advance, their enthusiasm was beyond descrip-
ton. 1t is supposed that Gen. Beauregard S
forces are larger than ours A battle is mmi-
nent at any moment. Itmay not take place till
tomorrow night. Telegraph wires are rapidly
following the army, and offices were opened
this morning at Fairfax Court House, with
Messrs Bond and Benton army operators.

Our troops were kept for fifteen or twenty
minutes under a CALLING fire, not being able to
exchange shots with the enemy, although
within stones throw of their batteries. They
succeeded in retiring in regular order and with
their battery.
The most gallant charge of the day was
made by the New York sixty ninth, seventy
ninth, and thirteenth, who rushed upon one
of the batteries, firing as they proceeded with
perfect eclat, and attacking it with the bayo'
nets point The yell of triumph seemed to
carry all before it. They found the rebels had
abandoned the battery and only taken one
gun. But this success was acquired only after
severe loss of life, in which the sixty ninth
most severely suffered; and it was reported
that Lieut.. Col. Nugent was among the first
killed.
The Fire Zouaves also distinguished them
selves by spirited assaults on batteries at the
point of the bayonet, but it is feared that their
loss is immense.
Up to o'clock it was generally understood
that we had hemmed in the enemy entirely,
and that they were gradually retiring, that
Col. Hunter had driven them back in the rear,
that Col Hintzleman's command was meeting
with every success and that it required but the
reserve OF Gen. Tyler's division to push on to
Manassas junction.
A Mississippi soldier was taken prisoner by
Hasbrouck, oftlle Wisconsin second regiment
He turned out TO be brigadier quarter master
Pryor, cousin to Roger A. Pryor. He was
captured with his horse, as he by accident
rode into our lines. He discovered himself
by remarking to Hasbrouck, owe are getting
badly cut to pieces" "What regiment doyou
belong q" asked Hasbrouck. "The meme
teenth Mississippi" was the answer "Then
you are my prisoner" said Hasbrouck.
From the statements of this prisoner it ap-
pears that our artillery has created great havoc
among the rebels, of whom there from 10000
to 40 900 in the field, under command Of Beau
regard, while they have reserve of $4,000 at
the junction. He describes an officer most
prominent in the fight. and distinguished from
the rest by his white horse, as JEFF. Davis. He
confirms the previous report of regiment of
negro troops in the rebel forces, but says it
was difficult to get them in proper discipline
and battle array.
The position of the enemy extended in three
lines in the form of triangle, the apex front
ing the center of our column. The area
seems to have been filled by masked batteries.
AT 7 o'clock this evening guns were still heard
firing at short intervals.

WASHINGTON. July 2l.-The orders for the
right wing to move on yesterday evening were
countermanded till early this morning. Our
troops were meantime cutting road through
the woods, in order to flank the enemys bat

The secretary of war has received a dispatch
that fighting was renewed at Bulls Run this
morning. Our troops engaged the enemy with
large force, silenced their batteries, and drove
the secessionists TO the Junction. The city is
wild with joy.
Firing was heard in this city to day, from
the direction of Bulls Run from eleven till
about three. There was cessation till nearly
five, and at seven this evening the reverbera-
ton of cannon was still audible.
A gentleman who arrived tonight says that
at three O'Clock this afternoon the second and
third New Jersey regiments were ordered to
march forward from Vienna, first sending back
their baggage to Camp Trenton. Other troops
were hurrying on to the scene of hostilities,
and there was much military excitement and
hustle in the direction of all the camps.

impression is that the designations will cause
the disbanding of the state guard.
