road leading to Centreville, which is sevep
miles from the Junction. On our right is
Union Mills, on the same stream, where the
Alexandria and Manassas railroad crosses the
Run, and distant four miles. Proceeding
from Fairfax Court House. by Centreviile, to
Stone Bridge, the enemy passed In front OF
our entire line, but at distance ranging
from five to two miles.
At 9 o'clock our left under Brigadier Gen
erals Evans, Jackson and Cooke, and Col.
Barlow, with the Georgia Brigade. composed
of the 9TH and 6th regiments, had been put in
motion. and was advancing upon the enemy
with force of about Is 900, while the enemy
himself was advancing upon our left with
compact column of at least 3d. 600 These
approaching columns encountered each other
at IL O'Clock.
Meanwhile, the two batteries in front kept
up their fire upon the wooded bills where they
supposed our centre lay. At quarter past
u, Johnston and Beauregard galloped rapid
ly forward in the direction of Stone Bridge,
where the ball had now fully opened.
The artillery were the first to open fire, pre-
csely at IL O'Clock. By haifpast IL, the in
fantry had engaged aud there it was that the
battle began to rage. The dusky columns
which had thus far marked the approach of
the two armies, now mingled with great
clouds of smoke, as it rose from the flashing
guns below, and the two shot up together
Ike huge pyramid of red and blue. The
shock was as tremendous were the odds
between the two forces. With what anxious
hearts was watched that pyramid of smoke
and Dust When it moved to the right, we
knew the enemy were giving way; and when
it moved to the left, We knew that our friends
were receding. Twice the pyramids moved
to the right, aud as often returned. At last,
about o'clock, it began to move slowly to
the left, and thus it continued to move for two
mortal hours TIE enemy was seeking to

except at the loss of thousands of prisoners
and all his batteries, while the field would
have been strewn with his dead.
Finding that his orders had in some way
failed to be executed, Gen Beauregard at
last ordered up portion of the forces which
were intended to cooperate with Gen. Ewell.
II was late, however, before these reinforce
ments came up. Only one brigade reached
the field before the battle was won. This
was led by Gen. E. K. Smith, of Florida, for
merly of the United Safes Army, and was
part of Gen. Johnston's column from Win
chester They should have reached here the
day before, but were prevented by an accl-
dent on the railroad. They dashed on the
charge with loud shouts and in the most gal
liant style. About the same time, Maj. ElZey
formerly of The Augusta Arsenal looming
down the railroad from Winchester with the
last of JohnsOns brigades, and hearing the
firing, Immediately quit the train and struck
across the country, and, as gracious for
tune would have it, he encountered the eX
treme right of the enemy as he was feeling
his way around our flank. and with bis brig
ade strnck him like thunder-bolt, fall in the
face. Finding he was about to BE- out-hdnked
hinaslf The enemy gave way after the second
fire. Meanwhile, Beauregard rallied the CEN
ire and dashed into the very thickest Of the
fight, and after him rushed our own brave
boys witha shout that seemed to shake the
very earth. The result of this movement
from three distinct points, was to force back
the enemy, who began to retreat, first in good
order, and finally in much confusion. At
this point, the cavalry were ordered upon the
pursuit. The retreat now became a perfect
rout, and it is reported that the flying le-
gions rushed past Centreville in the direction
of Fairfax, as if the earth had been opening
behind them. 1t vas when Gen. Beauregard
led the final charge, that his horse was killed
by a shell.
