lCry.
1t is vaguely reported that Gen. Pattcr.
sons division arrived in The vicinity of Ma.
uassaS this morning, and commenced on at
tack on the rebel forces. He was within
% miles Of the battle ground yesterday,
but the exhausted condition OF his meu
prevented him from coming TO MuDoMelpS
aid
It is also reported that 400 of our troops
have been sent to Fairfax from the other
side Of the river.
Lieut.. Col. Fowler, OF the N. Y. l4th,
Wounded ; Col. Lawrence, Of the MasSa.
chusetts 5th, Capt Ellis, OF The fist \. Y,
badly wounded Farnham and Maj Lozier,
Of the y. Y Zjuaycs.
II is probable that the number of killed
and wounded is maguifed by large numbers
who ale missing.
1t is represeted in many quarters that
the Ohio troops showed the greatest con.
steruatiop probably from the want of con.
fdence in their commanding officers.
1t is known that Oh the day previous 10
to the battle q large number of the Ohio
Regiments publicly protestested, against
being led by Gen Schenck, and it was real.
ly through the opportunities of Col. Nc.
Cook-in whom they placed all confidence
and other officers, that they were pTeven
ted from making more formidable rebel
lion.
1t was known to our troops yesterday
that johnson had formed a junction witt
Beauregard on the night Of the first action
at Bulls run Oar men could distinctly
hear the cars coming in from ManasSa,
Junction, aud the cheers with which tht
cOnlederateS hailed their newly arrived
comrades. They knew that the enemy wai
superior in numbers and in their own posi-
ton. This was further confirmed by prison
ers taken, but these facts were probably un
known at Washington.
Gen. Schenck, as well as the older felC
officers, acted admirably. He coIecte,
his forces and covered the retreat, and up t
the last moment was personally engaged il
the endeavor to rally his men to make
stand At Ceuterville.
1T was the arrival Of fresh reinforcement
to the enemy in superigr numbers, which
| turned the scale of battle.
The enemy before now might, perhaps
have more to boast of if they had iollowe,
up their advantage last night,
LATER.
The number Of killed and wounded i
gradually decreasing. 600 Zouaves hav
returned.
1t is understood that Col. Wilcox, report
ed killed is living, though badly wounded.
Late accounts show that the number 0
our killed is much less than supposed OF
fetal lists are preparing.
Col. MtTstGn, OF n. H., member Of Con
gress, lost an arm
Gov. Sprague of r. l., was in the thick
est Of the battle.
A great number Of members of Congress;

The number Of our troops actually en-
gagged in the contest did not exceed 20,
600.
The balls found on the battle field show
that the rebels arms are of Englisl
manufacture. Some Of the light batteries
and single pieces of cannon before reported
lost are being sent in, among them the riaeC
30 DOuuders left on tho field
The entire loss, killed, wounded and miss
ing in the Ohio lst and Cd regiment is re
ported forty.
