Probably the number OF killed and wounded
is magniiied by the large numbers who are
missing. The lowest estimate OF killed and
wounded may be placed at 1000 to 5000.
1t is represented in many quarters that the
Ohio regiments showed the greatest consterna-
ton, probably from want of confidence IN their
commanding officers.
Ii is vaguely reported that Gen. Patlerson's
division arrived in the vicinity of Manassas
this (MUuday) morning and commenced an at
tack on the rebel forces. He was within Is
miles Of the battle-ground yesterday, but the
exhausted condition of his men prevented him
from coming to McDowoils aid 1t is also re-
ported that 4 GOG Of our troops have been sent
to Fairfax from the other side OF the river.
IL is known that on the day previous to the
battle a large number Of the Ohio regiments
publicly protested against being lead by Gen.
Schcnck, ana it was Olly through the impor-
tunities Of Col. McCool, in whom thew placed
all confidence, and other officers. chat they
were prevented from making more fogmida-
bic rebellion.
1t was known to our troops yesterday that
Jhonston mad formed a junction with Baaure-
gard on the night Of the first action at Bulls
Run. Our men could distinctly hear the cars
coming in from Manassas Junction, and the
cheers with which the Confederates hailed
their newly arriving camrades. They knew
that the enemy was superior IN numbers and
in their own position. This was further con-
fluned by prisoners taken, but these facts were
probably unknown at Washington.
Gen. Schenck, as well as the oher field Off
GERS, acted admirably. He collected his forces
and covered the retreat, and up to the last
movement was personally engaged in the en-
deavor to rally his men to make q stand al
Centreyille. il was the arrival OF fresh rein
