thrilling incidents of the conflict among which ar
the following: "N''" al
Col. Hampton, upon having his horse shot from

boys; do AS do" He then shot down successivoIy -
several Federal officers who were Ieadina tb.;,

the hight. Col. Johnston, of the Legion was slain
in the charge
Ihe Hampton Legion promised to defend the flag
presented to them by the ladies of the Palmetto

deemed, no one will doubt, when he comes to learn
mat OF the 800 who went into the fight on Sunday

blood, that being the number of their killed and

South Carolina i'm the Late Battie--The North
Carolina and Louisiana Regiments
From "A very intelligent and reliable gentleman
IRON South Carolina, who was on the battlefield
and who held prominent position there we have
obtained the following statement:
South Carolina had seven regiments tincludipp
the Hampton Legion) on the battle-ground naa =
Manassas on Sunday last.
Inc "a regiment, commanded by Col. Kershaw
was in the hottest of the fight. Col Cash. of The
s'h regiment, was with Col Kershaw, and those
regiments brigaded together.
Col. Sloan's 4'h regiment was the first which on
gagged the enemy-it opened the ball. 1t was sta
toned three miles to the left of the other South
Carolina regiments, ard with the Louisiana tronrs
suffered considerably. Adjutant Wilkes, Lieut.
Earle and other officers were killed Cant PooIa
was severely if not mortally wounded. Capt Kill
patTlck was also wounded, and it is feared severely
so. There we're about dozen officers and quite a
number Of privates killed, but their names were
not remembered.
Col. Williams Sd regiment, Col. Racon,s 7tb
toge' her with Col. kirklaDd's North Carolina, and
20" heiiys Louisiana, regiments, constituted the
Gtht,e OF the general line, and held Mitchell's
Eord' on th@ , direct line from Fairfax C. H. to
Manassas These regiments under cannon
ade from sunrise until near sunset, but being en-
trenched, they suffered but little. Just before sun
down, and when the right wing of the enemy gave
way they were ordered to charge the batteries in
their fr' Mt, which they executed in gallant stvle
led bv Gen. Bonham in person. When the charge
was maze, the enemy promptly retired, and the
loss OF thoSe regiments was small. They pursued
the enemy to Centrevie, and took near one million
dollars worth of Federal property.
1t is believed that none belonging to those regi
ments were killed, and but few wounded.
Colonel Jenkins South Carolina regiment was in
zen. Jones brigade, and was situated some dis
tance to the right of the general line near where
the railway crosses Bull Run. They were not in
the night untH late IN the afternoon, when they
made an unsuccessful attempt to storm the battery
on the extreme left of the enemy's line. In this
gallant charge they suffered considerable. INIT Tho
particulars to the killed and wounded are not vet
ascertaned
l have not vet been able to obtain detailed re-
ports OF the killed and wounded in any of the
south Carolina regiments or Hampton's Legion
North Carolina Sixth Regiment
The extent of the disasters suffered by the 9th
North Carolina regiment is, we happy to saw
very far less than the report S have described The
rumor that they b ad been dreadfuIv cut nm praw
doubtless, out OF the fact that, exhausted by the
ardor of battle, and the fatigue of the subsequent
pursuit OF the enemy they failed to return to canp
but blyouacked on the ground where night over
took them. Provisions " ere sent to them bv order
OF PRESIDENT DAVIS. These they greatly needed,
having gone Immediately from the cars to the bat
tie, after eating no meal since Saturday morning.
1t Is believed that no officer, save the lamented
Col Fisher, was killed.
Alexandria to be Re-occupied
Our brave army is pursuing its advantage by
pressing on the heels of the retreating enemy Our
Hag was on yesterday morning again hyinp over
the village of Fairfax c. H., and President Davis
IN nls speeches to the people on yesterday, said
that he expected the re-occupation of Alexandria
on that dav !! Oh, it is delightful to think that the
good old CITY is free again! Colonels Wilcox and
Ellsworth, who commenced there the work of in
vaSinn, have both paid fatal forfeit-tbeir com
mands are cut up and destroyed-and their work is
undOne!
Fugitives' Opinion of the Southerncrs.
cltlzen of Fairfax q. II. says that when the
retreatiDg enemy passed through that village, in
answer to the question whether they had been de-
ieated, they said there were hardly enough of them
left to tell the story; that it was foolish to talk
about fighting the Southern soldiers; that they
fought not like men but devils. They begged for
water, ana betrayed every sign of extreme terror
and exhaustion.
The Bowie-Knife Charge.
An officer OF the army, who arrived here yester-
day, says that he witnessed the onset of our SOL
diers, the Arkansas regiment, he believes, on the
New York ZOuaves, and that it was terrible
spectacle. They threw down their guns and made
the charge with their braudished bowie-knives
The Iouaves at first seemed petrifed with amaze
ment. Then, as their assaiants Knocked aside
their bayonets and fell upon them with their
furious blades, they fairly screamed with terror
aod fed in the utmost CONSERVATION. They were
nearly exterminated.
Death of Col. Thomas, of Maryland.
In the list OF the slain, in the battle of last Sun
day, we regret to see the name of Colonel Thomas
of Maryland, one of the aids to General Johnson
Colonel Thomas belonged to family prominently
and honoraby identified with the history Of
Maryland for century past. He was ardently
attached to his native State and felt keenIv her
present humiliation. Finding that his exertions in
her behalf, under existing circumstances, would be
powerless on her own soil, he sought and obtained
position where he could strike the most effective
blow at her oppressor. He has fallen a martyr to
the cause of the independence of his country.
