CENTREvILLE, July 2I.-.We have success
fully outhanked the enemy. At half past
two this morning the various regiments
about Centreville were formed for marching
at three in the morning, in the direction of
Perryville, leaving Bulls Run to the lett.
SIX oCLoCK.-The first gun was fired by
the 32-pounder rifed cannon sent ahead to
batter the masked batteries that might be
encountered on the way. There was no re-
ply from the enemy and the advance moved
on.
At Gen. McDowelPs head quarters, three
miles beyond Centerville, the greater part
of the army moved to the right to avoid a
bridge some distance beyond, said to have
been undermined. They will pass over on
pontoons prepared by Capt. Alexander of the
engineer corps, and who had inspected the
country infinitely ons-a previous reconnois-
ance, and to whom in a great measure the
plan of the campaign ID due.
The seth New York Regiment was as
signed the post of honor in advance. The
members of this Regiment have agreed
unanimously to serve although their time is
now out. All the New York Regiments
will follow this example.
For five hours one steady column of
troops passed through CeuterVille.
The orders to move yesterday evening at
six o'clock were countermanded till early
this morning. Our troops in the meantime
are cutting road through the woods to
flank the enemies batteries.
The Secretary of War has received dis
patches that fighting was renewed at Bulls
Run this morning. 70
Our troops engaged the enemy with
large force and silenced their batteries and
drove the secessionists to the Junction.
The city is wild with Joy.
Firing was heard in this city to-day from
the direction of Bulls Run, from eleven till
three o'clock, then a cessation till near five,
and at seven this evening the vibration OF
cannon was still audible.
A gentleman arrived to-right says at
three o'clock this p. NJ. the I'd and 50 new
Jersey Regiments were ordered 10 HSrcn
forward from Vienna, 6rst sending back
their baggage to Camp Trenton. Other
troops were hurrying forward to the scene
of hostilites, and there is much military

Wagons are continually arriving, bringing
IN the dead and wounded. The feeling is
awfully distressing. Both telegraph aud
steamboat communication with Alexandra
is suspended to-day to the public. The
greatest alarm prevails throughout the city.
The following is an account of the be-
ginning of the panic which resulted so dis
astrousiy to our troops. All our military
operations went sWimmingly, and Colonel
Alexander was about erecting a pontoon
across Bulls Run when terrific consterna-
ton broke out among teamsters who had in
cautiously advanced Immediately after the
body of the army on the line of the War
renton road. Their CONSERVATION was
shared in by numerous civilians who were
on the ground Soon our whole army was
in retreat. For time perfect panic pre-
vailed which communicated itself to the
vicinity of Gentreville and every available
conveyance was seized upon. Several SINH
lar alarms had occurred on previous occa-
sions caused by change of positions in
our batteries, and it was most probable that
the alarm was owing to the same fact.

LoUsYLLE, July 22.--Jas. W Tompkins,
formerly a Clerk Of the Board Of Aldermen,
and recently a violent secessionist and re-
cruiting officer for the Southern Confedera-
.cy, was shot dead this afternoon by Henry
Greene, city watehman. TOmpkins was
hurrahing for JEFF. Davis, and was request
ed to desist by Greene, when he drew a
knife on Greene, but was retreating when
Greene shot him. A Coroner's verdict, just
rendered, says that Greene shot him with
out sufficient cause. Tompkins has been
endeavoring to send contraband articles
South by the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road during the past week, and has been
the main cause Of the midnight disturbance
at the depot of that road. Outsiders, not
examined before the Coroner, say that
Tompkins fred at Greene before Greene
shot him.
LATER-1I P. M.AThe Union men are
rather depressed, but very resolute, since
the receipt of the news adverse to the Fed
eral army. Secessionists are rampant, but
their intended manifestations are checked
by the killing Of TompkIns.

w WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Intense excite
ment in the city. The smoke of the battle
could be seen from eminences in Washing
ton.
1t is reported that Hunter is severely, If
not MORALLY, wounded also, Col Cameron,
brother of the Secretary of War, is report
ed to have been killed at Bulls Run. The
battle lasted nine hours. The first range
gun was fred by Sherman's battery at ten
minutes of o'clock. The rebels returned
the fire for an hour, and as soon as Colonel
Hunter division came up the engagement
became general.
The rebels rapidly received reinforcements
from Manassas, and as fast as the masked
batteries were silenced more sprung up, our
infantry charging on and silencing them
calamity The most brilliant charge was
made by the Goth, 18th and 9Th regiments
at the point Of the bayonet, capturing bat
terry, but with a severe loss.
The Zouaves also greatly distinguished
themselves.
A Mississippian taken prisoner by the
Wisconsin I'd, turns out to be Q. n. Pryor
cousin of Roger B. Pryor. He acknOwl-
edged our artillery made great havoc among
the rebels, who were nearly forty thousand
strong in the field, commanded by Beaure-
gard, with a reserve Of seventy-fve thOus-
and at Manassas. He also says JEFF. Davis
was in the fight, mounted on a white horse,
and confirms the report of a regiment ofne-
groes in the rebel army.

that Col. Ben. Shark, of Montgomery conn-

near Lanville, in buggy, when they were
surprised by parties concealed in the bush
es by the roadside. Col Sharp was severe

were soon after overtaken by a party of reb-
els and in spite of their entreaties that their
lives might be spared, they were both taken
out and hung. Col. Sharp was Captain of
the Montgomery Home Guard, prominent
lawyer, of Danville, and formerly a State
Senator.
