THE REBELs' VERSION OF THE BATTLE.
RIcuMoND, July 29, via New Orleans.--
Tie reports OF the killed and wounded
were not reliable last nigh. owing to the
confusion following the victory, so that we
refrained from mentioning them, fearful Of
giving pain 20 anxious hearts. Gen.
Beauregard and staff are safe. Beaure-
CARDS horse was shot under him. Gen.
johnson commanded the left, where the
enemy made their fercest attack. Pres.
Davis reached the field at noon and took
command OF the centre. When the len
was pressed the severest he Gisengaged a
portion Of the enemy's force and decided
the fortune OF the day. No other reliable
reports are received, but are hourly ex-
peclod. II is stated that the enemy WAS
commanded BY Gems. Scott, Patterson and
Mcdowell, and it is reported that the lat
ter is seriously wounded.
