Plausible Version Of tise BULBS
Fe1N Dia;ksfSr,

WASHINGTON, July %, midnight
most authentic version of the affair is as fol-
lows:
After the repulse Of the enemy at Bulls
Run last night, Gen. Tyler pursued them to
Manassas junction, and opened a fire upon the
left Of their entertainments. Three of their
batteries were taken by the assaults of the
Fourth Brigade, under gallant Col. Richard
son. Night then coming on, and the enemy
having received strong reinforcements, it was
deemed prudent to withdraw, and the troops
fell back on Centerville. About 10 o'clock at
night they were unexpectedly attacked at this
point by large force under Gen. Beauregard
in person. A battle cnsued of about an hours
duration, our troops maintaining their position
with the utmost obstinacy. The loss on both
sides was immense, many superior officers
falling while calamity leading on and cheering
and encouraging their men. Being overcome
! finally by superior numbers, they were driven
| back to Fairfax Court House, the retreat be-
| ing accomplished in excellent order At
Fairfax Court House Gen. Mcdowell attempted
to rally his men for another stand, but the
panic had spread along the whole line, and the
men were beyond control. They fed precipi-
lately towards Washington in the widest con-
sternation and ALARM refusing to be quoted,
and utterly deaf to the efforts of their officers
to restore order. So great was the panic that
Gen. Mcdowell found it impossible to procure
men to bear his orders and dispatches The
rout was complete; the troops were flying in
all directions, throwing away theirgu KNAPP
sacks, blankets, and even their coats, in Or
der to facilitate their progress; every battery
was left prize to an enemy which it does not
appear was even pursuing in any considerable
numbers. Col Heintzelman' division, which
occupied the left of the line, behaved much
more coolly than the others. A portion Of
his division, including the second brigade, I'M
der Col. Wilcox, organized rear-guard to
cover the retreat They marched with con-
siderable order, beating back the few detach-
ments of the enemy that from time to time
came upon them. In retaining his men in or
der, and thus protecting the whole army from
: slaughter, it was that the gallant COL Wilcox
r received most severe wound from which it is
5 doubtful if he can recover The army have
| nearly all reached the Potomac in broken frag
ments, and in the state Of complete demoraliza
ton. Never was rout more complete, nor {
4 defeat more inexplicable.
The conduct Q; Mcdowell is severely crit
cised. and orders have been received suppressed
: ins him in the command of this division, an(
assigning Gen. Mcclellan to his position.

~ Gen. Beauregard, in his famous pro-
clamation, said that the Federal troops "pro-
claim by their acts, if not by their banners,
that their war-cry is beauty and booty" Such
gasconade comes with bad grace from Gen
eral of the Confederate army, after sending his
wife to the North for protection during the
war. But the rebels, from the highest to the
lowest, are so given to lying, that it is hare
for them to tell thetruth. Stealing, lyingand
running, seem to be the chief characteristics
of their warfare

southern officers who do not allow lati-

action, begin to complain that the

suspiciously towards them, and to de-
prive them of the privileges and marks
of confidence to which their rank and
