LATER FROM BULL RUN.

WAsHhGroN, July l9-Col. Richardson,
member of Congress from Illinois, arrived
here at O'Clock p NJ from the seat of
war. Up 10 the time he left, Is O'Clock
this morning, J there had been no general
fight since g clock last evening. There
were, however occasional shots by skir-
nishers on both sides
General Mcdowell informed Col. Rich-
ardson that he should FIRST examine the To-
cation of the enemy's batteries and extent
before again engaging the enemy.
General Mcdowell thinks that forty will
cover the number killed and wounded, and
OF these, three were killed, twenty. nine
wounded and the remainder missing.
WAsHISGIoN, July l9 Hon. John A. Nc
Clernand, OF The House of Representatives,
left Gen. McDoweIls headquarters at Cen
trevie this morning, at o'clock, and
brought the official report of the battle at
Bulls Run yesterday. He arrived here this
afternoon.
He reports that last night after the firing
had ceased, General Schenck's brigade pro-
ceeded up The Gainesville road, with view
TO flank the positions of the three most
prominent batteries al the Junction, as we'll
as TO intercept The downward passage Of
any trains with reiniorcements from the up
per valley.
The ContederateS VINO fought our troops
at the Run are supposed TO be those who
were driven back from the various
points between Fairfax Court House and
Cenlreville in addition to a reinforcement
of five regiments which were brought up
from Manassas Junction during the action,
which continued about FIVE hours.
Despite the various rumors OF the condi-
lion of affairs at the close Of yesterday, II
may be characterized as a drawn battle
there being no decided result. The Confed'
crates nowhere showed themselves during
The battle, they being altogether concealed
by woods, ravines aud entertainments, from
which they directed their fire.
The members of the House who witness

Fading over the mountain hoary.

'Twixt The sky and tho valley haunted,
Moved as guarding the twain that slowly
Wandered in the silence holy.

Hardly raised by tho winds low signing;
Long bright locks in the air were waving,

[From the Monroe Parish of Ouachlta La j
Rcgister.]
A man giving his name as W.. C.
l2uttan-claimed to be physician, to
have practiced with DR.. Warren
Stone, of New Orleans, to be the
owner of thirty slaves and plantation,
and also to be Lutheran munster
made his appearance in our vicinity
about the first of November, ls60.-
Having a plausible address, he was
kindly received by several Of our citi-
zens farmers III the neighborhood],
and by some was called as physician,
and on one occasion preached near
here.
In few weeks it was ascertaincd
that Ruttan had made contradictory
and of of course false statements,a about
his former life, residence, business, etc.
that he had applied for letters at the
post Office under more than one name,
and..was observed to frequent Negro
jqnarters and associate wish the slaves
under circumstances which would
have brought discredit and suspicion
on any one, and more particularly
upon stranger and minister.
At one place he became so much
attached to the slaves as to spend
most ofhis time, night as we'll as day
with them in their houses|and quarters
This was more or less the case on fou1
different plantations, and suspicio,
was very naturally aroused.
j About this time two Of the slaves O
Mr.. Collins voluntarily told some
members Of his family that Ruttan il
i'll several conversations with them hat
said that ga man had been elected
President who would free all the he
|grocs soon after Christmas" Simila
statements were voluntarily made b,
Slaves on three other plantations, ant
the slaves of one, Mr.. Early Everett,
| miles from Collins place, Informed Iii
master that l3uttan had made simila
!. statement to him, telling him further
) that Ga man would be along soon attic
: Christmas, to give the negroes weap
, ons, and that lie would tell them whcl
and how to use them, and that all til
r negroes must be ready" At one 0
these places the negroes were foun,
! with counterfeit gold coin, which the,

hundreds of the people. Some of the
crowd then cried 'sHang him! hang
lhim!'' and a rope was brought so near
that could almost touch it. One
noble hearted man, with whom ! had
boarded, here cried out, with tears
streaming down his face, "Gentlemen,
if you hang DR.. Ruttan, hang me too,
for | know him to be innocent!'' He
was sileneed with threats and curses,
and dragged away by his weeping wife.
| verify believe the only thing that
saved my life was letter in my trunk
addressed to my uncle, in which I
had earnestly defended the South.
My trunks ilad previously been broken
open and my papers searched. They
now handed back such of them as they
thought proper, but they took s275
from my trunk and some gold money
from my pocket, none of which was
ever returned. I had twcnty-four hours
to leave the country in, and the last
thing l saw was my Office and mcdi-
cine in flames.
Thus / was set at liberty, without
coat OF vest, and my shirts literally
whipped into shrcds, with one hun
dred and twenty miles to travel, in
danger of losing my life if caught. /
travelled all that night through marsh
land swamp, for nine miles Of which /
was part of the the time over my hips
in the wator. and never out of the
water farther than my knees. This
Tasted six or seven hours. The next
day, being overcome by fatigue and
fright, slept two or three hours then
started again on my journey,travelling
all day and night again, and till after
noon tho following day, when ! reached
the Mississippi river, having travelled
the entire time through the wilderness
without tasting food. [ here waited
with anxious watch for a steamer until
late in the afternoon, when Will, glad
heart l stepped on board ofone, having
obtained permission to work my pas
sage to New Orleans rs deck hand.

l:hope God will protect and bless for
their kindness who carefully secreted
me from the accursed Vigilance Com.

This is my latest experience at the

From all over our broad land from the
ArOostOok to the MissOuri,1yes, and even
10 the Rio Gande, for there are Union men
there who hail with joy every movement
which shall usnd to overthrow the demon Of
disunion which is crushing them out-the
popular Fart has given a joyous bound at
the knowledge that this Government is to be
vindieated before its " people and in the
eyes Of the world, and that anarchy and re-
belion are to be met by a strong hand and
willing heart welding ard guiding the ma
jesty Of the Law and the Constitution
When it was announced that in spite Of the
hopeful promises Of the Inaugural, the Fort
at Charleston, which had 50 calamity held
out against the enemy, must be given up to
the enemies Of their Government the people
aequiescsd, but did it with heavy hearts.
The reasons urged for the step were sound,
but all the patriotic impulses Of a loyal peO-
pie rebelled against the necessity, and we felt
that necessary as the move was believed to
be, it would augur i'll for Us among the ma
ions Of the earth.
But nov we have abundant reasons for
believing that this necessity is such no
longer, and that Fort Sumter, the Southern
Gibraltar of National pride, is still to echo
with the music Of the Star Spangled Banner
and Yankee Doodle, and is stin to stand IN
der the shsaow Of the ever glorious Stars
and Stripes. And with this new faith has
come a brighter day for the American peO-
pie. Every eye beams with a prOuder look,
every heart beats high with hope for the future
every arm is strengthened to defend its cOun-
Try, and every tongue speaks in words Of
praise of the "policy" which has been in
sugurated at Washington. Democrats and
Republicans alike rejoice, and with here and
there a sad and solitary exception, the hearts
of all are with the Administration.

Matters at Charlsstsn


General B~eanregard on Friday demanded
the surrender Of Fort Sumter which was
refused By Anderson, although a meeting for
negotiations was to be held yesterday. The
lines were down south Of Washington yes
terday, 80 we are unable to know what trans,
pired. Just at this time, such a detention Of
news is especially provoking and disas-
trous. Doubtless the contest commenced
yesterday or will to-day. Of course Major
Anderson will not kurrender the Fort under
any circumstances. He has been directed
to hold il and has been notified that be viii
be supplied. There is no reasoa to suppose
the pacific councils Of President Davis will
prevail, and doubtless the restless army, mad
for q fight will fire upon The provision boat.
The wsr viii then commence. The vessels
which LEFT New York early in the week should
be Oh Charleston before this and when we
do get news from there, it will bring tiding
Of hot work.
We hope to receive further news by our
late dispatches.

The Result of The struggle.

A Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune says:
Little doubt is entertained among military
men as to the result Of the struggle, if it
should once begin. The opinions heretofore
entertained on that subject have been mater
tally modified. It is considered practicable
to land and carry the works at Cummings
Point which are most dangerous to Fort
Sumter. Fort Monltrie, which is directly
opposite, could not ctand many hours under
the heavy fire of Sumter's batteries. If any
reinforcements can be thrown into Major An
derson's aid, he can maintain himself with
out much embarrassment or loss; and it is
nov believed, after the experience of the
Star of the West, that vessels Of ordinary
speed can run the gauntlet Of the guns on
Morris Island, and not incur the danger that
has been supposed to exist, except in landing
the men and supplies at Fort Sumter, when
they would, of course, be exposed to the bat
teries of Fort Moultrie.

The Eject az CharIestou.

The Charleston correspondent of the N. Y.
Tribune thus reports the effect Of the war
news at that city;
Now that this people are brought face TO
face with the Federal Government whose
strong arm has been raised against treason
and in defense of the Constitution, it becomes
interesting to observe the effect produced on
them. That men are rushing desperately to
the Notifications does not disprove what l am
prepared to assert to wit: that there is a
very general feeling like that which an indi-
vidual experiences when some long dreaded
calamity or stroke he had hoped might be
averted, finally falls upon him; a sinking
down and a ftheart-siek faintness' that gives
the lie to all brave words and looks. They
cannot reconcile the price they are about to
pay for Secession with the boosted benefits
Had they a right to expect anything less2
Did they suppose that the Government would
submit TO have the country torn in pieces and
itself destroyed In this way are the lead
ers now reproached, even by many who are
preparing to die in the breach. South Caro-
linians viii fight this battle because they
have said they would. 1t is not the kind Of
feeling that men like to have when they go
into such 8 conflict.

VII YirrInIn seoedss
a Washlngt0n Ga Rriter says:


By the by, this threat about Virginia going
out Of the Union, has become a bore. All
during the last session Of Congress, it was
constantly said that if old father Crittenden's
thirty-six thirty resolutions were not adopted
Virginia would 60 right out of the Union
And fools believed it. Again, it was said
that if Congress did not accept the ultimatum
of the Peace Conference, she would certainly
go. But, the Congress on Capital Hill paid
no attention to the ukase issued by the Con-
gress at Wizards Hotel, and Virginia staid.
And then, during the week or ten days when
the question was penqing whether Gov.
Chase should be called to the Treasury De-
partment men of truth and v~eraeity stood
ready to make affidavit if be did go into the
Cabinet, Virginia would go on of the Union
the next day. But, Chase did go in, and Vir-
ginia didn't go out. So now the same croak-
ers family suggest they have stopped blus-
tering,) thatif we attempt to feed our sol
diers in Sumpter an6 Pickens' or collect the
revenue at the mouth of the Mississippi, or
help Sam Houston drive the Mexicans and
Gamanehes out OF Texas, Virginia WiH Ger
taay 60 out Of the Union.
Perhaps she will. We shall seel
