turn our left flank, and to reach the railroad
leading hence ia the direction Of Winchester.
To do this, he extended his liIek, which he
was enabled to do by reason OF his great num-
bers. This was unfortunate for US, as it re-
quired corresponding extension of our own
lines TO prevent bis extreme right from out
hanking us-a movement on our part which
weakened the force of our resistance along
the whole line o. bettle, which finally extend
ed over space of two miles. 1t also render
ed it the more difficult to bring up reinforce
Dents, as the further the enemy extended his
right, the greater the distance our reserve
forces had to travel to coGnteract the move
ment.
This effort toturn our flank was pressed
with great determination for five long, weary
hours, during which the tide of battle ebbed
and flowed along the entire line with alter
nate fortunes. The enemy's column contin-
ued to stretch away to the left, like huge
anaconda, seeking to envelope us within its
mighty folds and crush US to death; and al
one time it really looked as if he would
succeed.
The moment he discovered the enemy's or
der of battle. Gen. Beauregard, it is said, dis
patched orders to Gen. Ewell, on our ex-
treme right, to move forward and turn his
left or rear. At the same time he ordered
Generals Jones, Longstreet and BnOham, oc
eupying the centre of our lines, to cooperate
in this movement, but not to move until Gen.
Ewell had made the attack. The order to
Gen. Ewell unfortunately miscarried. The
others were delivered, bnt as the movements
of the centre were to be regulated entirely
by those on the right, nothing was done at
all. Had the orders to Gen. Eweli been re-
ceived and carried out, and our entire force
brought upon the field, we should have de-
stroyed the enemy's army almost literally

road leading to Centreville, which is seven
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 Cen
erals Evans, jackson and Cooke, and Col.
Barlow, with the Georgia Brigade. composed
of the 7th and 8th 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 a
compact column of at least 10000. These
approaching columns encountered each other
at IL O'Clock.
Meanwhile, the two batteries in front kept
up their fire upon the wooded hills where they
supposed our centre lay. At 3 quarter past
II, 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-
cisely at III O'Clock. By halfpast IL, the in
fantry had engaged and 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, aud the two shot up together
like huge pyramid of red and blue. The
shock was as tremendous as 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 2 o'clock, it began to move slowly to
the left, and thus it continued to move for two
mortal hours. The 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 bis 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.
1t 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 States 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 acci-
dent on the railroad. They dashed on the
charge with loud shouts and in the most gall
liant style. About the same time, Maj. Elzey
formerly of the Augusta Arsenal looming
down the railroad from Winchester with the
last of Johnson's brigades, and hearing the
firing, Immediately quit the train and struck
across the country, aAd, as a 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 his brig
ade struck him like thunder-bolt, full in the
face. Finding he was about to be out-1anked
himself. 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, with 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 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

On Sunday, the 21st day of Jnly, 1861,
this great battle was fought, and great vic
tory won by the Confederate troops. Heaven
smiled on our arms, and the God of battles
crowned our banners with laurels OF glory.
Gen Johnston had arrived the preceding
day with about half of the force he had de-
tailed from Winchester, and was the senior
officer in command. He magnanimoasly in
sisted, however, that Gen. Bea1regard's pre-
yioQs plan should be carried out, and be was
guided entirely by the judgment and superior
local knowledge OF the latter. While, there
fore. Gen. Johnston was nOminally in COM
mand. Beauregard was really the officer and
hero of thesday.
At half-past six in the morning the enemy
opened fire from a battery planted on bill
beyond Bull Run,- and nearly opposite the
centre of our lines. The battery was intend
ed merely to "beat the bush, and to occupy
our attention. while he moved heavy col
umn towards the Stone Bridge, over the
same creek, upon our left. At ten o'clock,
another battery was pushed forward, and
opened fire short distance to the left of the
other, and near the road leading North to
Centrevilie. ITfis Was battery of rited
guns, and the Object Of it's fire was the same
as that e lbs osheT- They fired promlscu-
ously int the zosis and goTges on this, the
Southern, side u Buil Run, seeking to create
the impressioa thereby that our centre would
be eattacked,-aGsa-faas prevent us from send
ing reinforeements to our left, where the real
attack was to be made. Beauregard was not
deceived by the maueuvre.
Ii might not be amiss to say that Bull Run
or creek is North of this place, and runs
nearly due East, curying around the juno
ton, the nearest part OF which is about 81
miles. The Stone Bridge is some seven miles
distant, in NOrth-westerly direction, upon
which our left wing rested. Mitchel's ford is
directly North, and distant four miles, by the

TIE BATTLE FIELD A FORTNIGHT AFTER THE

TIE BATTLE FIELD FORTNIGHT AFTER THE FIGHT.-Au especial correspondent of the Cin- cinnati Gazette, in long letter about the battle near Springfield, Mo-, has the following:
 There still remain about seventy five or one hundred bodies upon the field of battle, besides large number of horses. The bodies are Tn every instance those ot federal soldiers, and are generally lying on hard gravelly ridges. Those who fell iu the holows, or where the ground was soft, have been hid from view. The stench arising from the field is not as overpowering as might be supposed. With single exception every face was turned as black an Ethop's, and that one, strange to say, persists ln retain ing its Caucasian characteristic. In several ln- stances the visitor can distinctly see where the wounded men have dragged themselves from the places where they ieil to the shade afforded by few scrubby oak bushes ln the held, and there, with the crimson tide of life ebbng away, and no k,nd hand to administer so trling a thing as cup of water, for the want ot which they were falni>hing, they lad them down to die Some of our wounded men, who had thus sought the shade were not found for three or four days after the battle.
