The Rebels Panic.

There is no doubt that the rebels were
actually retreatipg towards Manassas
Junction at the very time when our SOL
diers were running towards Centerville.
The r.inforceme nts from Manassas were
probably intended to cover the retreat of
the troops that had been engaged IN the
action. Long before the panic on our
side occurred, the wagon train OF the
rebels was vending its way from the
field. plainly indicating their intention to
retire. This train was followed by large
bod es OF infantry, and it is probable that
if our men had stood their ground even
fifteen minutes longer, they would then
have had indisputed possession of the
field.
1t is stated by Virginian, who came
from Manassas into our lines to-day, that
the order for the retreat of the rebels had
been already issued. 1t is evident that
the enemy did not Immediately under
stand the movement on our S de. They
thought themselves whipped, and the
sudden retirement OF their victors un-
doubtedIy astonished them. This is
apparent from the fact that no pursuit
was attempted for any considerable dis
tance.

WHY THEY RUN.

The Georgia Constitutionalists gives
the following reason for the flight of the
fleet-footed Virginans, and others con-
nected with the rebel army in Western
Virginia:
Did the intelligent men of the North
really expect that the Southern gentle
men, who compose so large portion of
the Southern armies, would be such soft
headed hotspurs as to sink the conscien-
ciousness of the vast difference between
themselves and the hileling ragamuffins
ard Migrants and escaped jail birds, that
form the staple of the invading hosts
that they were willing to recognize these
vagabonds with knightly courtesy, and
invite them to tits and tournaments? D,
they come in the true spirit OF knight er
lantry to test their prowess with South
ern chivalry, with measured weapons, anc
in an open arena. man to man, and eye t.

Barbarity Of the Rebels.

In al! the history Of war, there can be
found no crueliies snrpassing those which
the rebels perpetrated in the late battle of
Bulls Run. They seemed completely
lost to all humanity, and to have been
possessed Of the spirit OF devils. We
are told that during the fight they car
ried American flags to deceive our men,
and when small squads that lad got
separated from their regiments approach

slaughtered The rebels also fred up

A most patriotic and heroic spirit was
displayed by one of the Ohio soldiers on
the occasion of the surprise at Vienna
He was hit by MIME ball, which shat

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.
The Evening Bulletin has n interest.

a wealthy Virginian, resising few miles
from Manassas Junction. He witnessed
the battle on::Suuday, and describes the
conduct of the Federal troops as daring
and brave in every respect. He states
the rebel loss between 5000 aud 1000.

rebel preparations to destroy our troops
Upwards of II, 900 negroes were employ
ed to work on the entrenchments at Man

ed to work on those at Richmond.
Gen. Lee was not at Manassas during
the battle, and is now at Richmond, com
manding an active force estimated at TO-.
900.
Richmond is surrounded with mines
like those Manassas. If the rebels find
that the Union men are going to take it.
the city will! be blown up.
Had the Federal forces got beyond
Manassas last Sunday, Beauregard ad
mits that the rebels would have been los
forever.
An impression prevails at the South
that the NotrE has no money and canno
get any. The rebels are under the delu
sion that the heavy sums owed the Nortt
by the South will be the means of max
ing US bankrupt and that in less than f..
year the North will cave in.
There are two regiments Of well drill

the retreat from these places was in ac-

selected as the battle ground. Our
troops after firing several hundred rounds
withdrew in order before the advancing
foe, and fell back on Bulls Run. Here
the retiring forces were met by the ilth,

waited, expecting fight at day break.
About O'Clock in the afternoon the
main body of the foe arrived within hall
mile of Bulls Run, and made three
severa! attempts to advance, each time
being repulsed with great slaughter.
The retreat has every appearance of a
signal rout; leaving their dead behind
and losing six pieces of artillery. Two

FIRING UPON FRIENDS.


Among the disasters of the day were
two very serious ones from the firing in
to each other, by mistake, of our regi.
ments. The 9th New York regiment was
badly cnt up thus by either the 18th or
25th regiments of the same State. The
9th New York regiment had one COM
pany destroyed almost to man by fire
from our forces.
Unfortunate as were these disasters to
US, they were far more than counterbal
anced by the heavy fire poured into the
Secessionist by their own batteries at
various times during the day.

to follow him, exclaiming, "My brave
