Beauregard'S Report Of the Bat
tie Of Manassas.

The following brief synopsis of
the official report Of the battle of
Manassas is furnished by CORES
pondent to the Richmend Dispatch {:
I hava been favored with breif
synopsis OF & eli. BearIregard's report
of the battle Of Manassas, which has
been forwarded to the War Depart
ment, and which will doubtless be
published in 4 short time. Gen.
Beauregard opens with a statement
Of his position antecedent to the bat
tie, and of the plan proposed by him
to the Government of the Junction OF
the armies Of the Shenandoah and
Potomac, with Il view to the relief of
Maryland and the capture of the ci-
|ty of Washington, which plan was
rejected by the President. Gen. b.
states that he telegraphed to the War
Department on the 18th July of the
contemplated attack Of Gen. Mellow
ell, urgently asking for junction
OF Gen. Johnsten's forces with his
own, and continued to make urgent
requests for the same until the 18th
July, when the President consented
to order Gen. Johnston to his assis-
tance. Gen. Beauregard goes on to
state that his plan of battle assign
ed to Gen. Johnston an attack ON the
enemy on the left at or near Center
Vile, while he himself would com
mand i'll front but the condition of
the roads prevented this. 1t was
then decided to receive the attack of
the enemy behind Bun Run. After
the engagement behind Bull Run.
After the engagement at Blackburn s
Ford, on the 18th, Gen. Beauregard
was convinced Gen. McDowell's prin-
cipal demonstration would be made
ON our LETT wing. and then formed
the plan of throwing forward suffi-
cient force by converGng roads to
attack the enemv's reserves ut Cen
treville, so soon us the MUM body of
the latter became inextricablv enga.-
ed on the left. Late in the. day, fin
ding that Gen. Ewell, who was pos.
ted on the extreme right of o,r line
had not moved forward in accoilance

SHREVEPORT, MONDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1861.

Ewell to enquire the reason why the
latter had failed to advance, and
received any such order. The
enemy's attack having then be-
come to strong, on the left, to war
rant carrying out the original plan, as
it would take three hours for Gen.
Ewells brigade to reach Centreville,
it became necessary to alter the plan,
change front on the left, and bring
up our reserves to that part of the
field. This movement was superin-
tended in person by Gen. Johnston,
Gen. Beauregard remaining to direct
the movement in front.
At the time when General Kirby
Smith and General Early came up
with their divisions and appeared on
the right of the enemy, my forces on
the left occupied the cord of the arc
Of a circle, of which the arc itself
was occupied by the enemy-the ex-
tremes of their lines hanking ours.
The appearance Of Smiths and Ear
ly's brigades, and their charge on
the enemy's right, broke the line Of
the latter and threw them into con-
fusion, when shortly afterwards the
rout became complete.
General Beauregard highly COM
pliments General-then Colonel
Evans commanding brigade)-and
now the hero Of Leesburg-for the
extraordinary aptitude and great gal
lantry he displayed in his movements
from Stone Bridge to Sudleys Ford,
after receiving the enemy's first on
set at Stone Bridge. General Evans
had only about ore thousand men,
but divining that the enemy's move
ment was concentric one, and that
columns had gone through the woods
to the left, and would attempt to cross
at Sudley's with 600 men, he filing
off towards the ford at Sudley's with
600 men, he kept tbs enemy at BAY
there for nearly an hour, although IN
force several thousand strong.
General Beauregard settles forev-
er the various questions SO much dis
puted respecting this battle. He ac-
knowledges the great generosity of
General Johnston III fully according
to him (Gen. b. the right to carry
out the plans he had formed with re-
lation to this campaign, in yielding
the command of the field after exam
lining the cordially approving the
plan of battle, and in the effective
cooperation which General Johnston
so chivalrouslv extended to him on
that eventful day.
He remarks that the retreat Of our
forces from Fairfax, immediately
previus to the engagement ofthe 18th,
is the first instance on record OF vol
unteers retiring before an engage
ment aud with the object of giving
battle in another position.
The number under his command
on the 18th Of July are set down at
1900 effective men, and on the -2ls+, 4,
at 27,90O which includes 600 of
Johnston's army, and 100 brought
up BY General Holmes from Erred
erick ksburg.
The killed on our side in this ever
memorable battle are stated in the re-
port to have been in number 1913, and
the wounded 1900.
The enemy's killed, wounded and
prisoners are estimated by General
Beauregard at $500, which does not
include the missing.
The report is rather lengthy, and
is accompanied by another from
General Johnson, giving an account
Of the movements of his army at VIM
chester and march to Manassas, also
by the reports of brigade comman-
ders.

ness with "a members present and on votes OF
A.? In or out, is the question.
n@FThe Committee on Ways and Means is
about to introduce in the House bill providing
for raising thirty millions Of dollars by direct
taxation This measure is in accordance with
the late recommendation Of the Secretary Of tie
Treasury The amount will be apportioned
among all the States, as, in the contemplation
of the Government, all of them are still in the
Union. Under this apportionment Maryland
will be called upon to pay $655,235. This sum
is to be collected directly from the. people, and
large as it is it is light burthen compared with
the amount which they Will be forced to contri-
butte indirectly towards the expenses Of this war.
But as some eight millions of this tax is to be
assessed upon the seeded States, it can only, be
collected when the Government shall have re-
duced the South to subjugation, and should il
fail in so doing, the amount which it will be thus
unable to collect must be made up by those
States which remain under Mr.. Lincoln's juris-
diction. ST, therefore, ia spite Of the efforts Of
the Administration the South should succeed in
maintaining lis innepessdence, and Maryland
should be forced to remain member of the
Northern Confederaey, we shall be saddled with
an immense debt compelled to meet obligations
which we would never have voluntarily incur
red, and forced to pay for war which was be.
gun without the consent Of the representative
of the people, and in opposition to the wishes
If the citizens of this State. Thus the blinc
ooli,y Of the Administration threatens to civ.
Che finishing blow to the Union, aud to bring
Maryland also to the verge of ruin.- --Erchange

The Cry FOR BEEAp.--Under this head the
New York Express publishes the following:
Quite large number of women assembled
last night around the corner of Fourth street
and avenue A, expecting and loudly demanding,
assistance from the German Relief Committee,
who hold their meetings in the saloon on that
corner. The women mostly looked the very
image of despair and hunger, and one in par
ticular, Mrs. Elder, Of No. 554 Fourth street,
informed our reporter that she had not tasted
any food since Sunday night, some nd-heartea
neghbors having provided her children with
sustenance. One of the children, q boy two
years old, is sick and at tn, point Of death, and
the poor mother unable to nurse him from sheer
exhaustion. Women expressed their determi-
nation to visit the City Hall with their children,
ard If 30 relief was given leave their children
for the city to take care of.
The suffering among the soldiers wives in the
Seventeenth ward is great, and unless speedy
relief is given: throuble may be anticipated.

THE BATTLE AT RICH MOUNTAIN.
The Richmond Wing of the 10th contains the
following account of the fight in Western Virginia,
purporting to come from eyewitness:
