now THE BATTLE WAS WON.

now iHb hA LIN was WA
DR.. j. Mott at South Carolina writes to
the Charlie ton News a highly colored account
of the hattie al Bull Run. After speaking of
the disasters which the rebel forces sustained
in the early part of the battle, till their rein
forcements came pouring in, with the rapid,
ty and eagcrness OF Il lex chase" he says =
"No one eau imagine such a grand glorious
picture as these patriots presented, rushing to
the field through the masses OF wounded bod
les which strewed the roadside as they passed
along. For half mile behind me the road
passed down gradual slope, and through an
old field, as i looked back, | could see a re9i-
mem Of infantry coming IN a trot, Nth their bright
muSketS giittermg in the sun; then would come a
battery of artillery each gurca,rdge crorded aoih
men, and drd,cn by four horses IN full gddop.
Nert came troops Of cdrahy ddshtng with the
speed Of Mpat: after these foLloued, icih almost
equal speed, wagons loaded with ammunition,
Sc, screaming all the while, "Push ahead,
boys" "Pitch into the Id Yankees" "Drive
them into the Potomac" This kept up from
about midday till dark, and felt as il the
Alps themselves could not withstand such a
rush" X n sour troops are pouring in
toery dag from the south, and if Beauregard and
Johnston choose to lead them, they can plant
the hated palmetto tree beside the Bunker Hill
Monument, which was erected TO conmeuio
rate the same principles for which we are now
fighting, and to which degenerate race las
proved recreant."
MUNCHAUsEN ON THE FIELD.
L. w. Spratt, whose name has sometime
been conspicuous in the discussions for the
slave trade, writes to the Charleston Mercury
the following horrible fiction: "When the
enemy 1.-THE union truops) came to Manassas to
bury their dead slain in the battle OIL the 18th,
they commenced entrenclling themselves
| They formed their entertainments Of human bodies;
took their dead comrades and piling them one on the
other, duq trench and Mrew the dirt up their
bodies to form a breaStUork" The same writer
| comes up from the internal pit of talsehood
with the following "The enemy crossed the
| Potomac with grand army. Gen Scott, an
splendid carriage dra,rn BY Sir horses, passed part
| of the dav at CentreuMe-MrS. Senator WILSON
| of Massachusetts, and other ladies Nth him.
| One was iady of CentreUitLe, Wih ,ohom Gen.
| McGoWan ajterUdrds spent the evening"" n
| Senator Wilson had arranged for dinner par
| ty at Cenreville, and had, among other things,
| about twenty baskets Of champagne, which he
was compelled to leave behind him. He fled
in the disguise of the driver OF Il cart"
OUR woUNDED AT RICHMOND.
Some of our wounded soldiers here have
been taken as prisoners to Richmond, and

Examiner lies as follows about the brave fel

| porches as suits their pleasure. An ar OF
neatness pcrvades the whole establishment,
and tile order is only broken by the occasional
| curses OF Il "Pet Lamb" With the exception
| of the Ne,c York Zouares, the prisoners express
regret at taking up arms against our people. Some
say their newspapers aud politicians had led
them to believe that southerners were semi
barbarians and were preparing 10 overrun the
north had been persuaded that the masses OF
the people here were held in subsection by
few unprinciplcd men, and desired The aid OF
the norh to regain their Independence; and
many enlisted with the understanding that
they would only be employed in the defence
OF Washington City. They are very grateful
tor the kind treatment they are receiving at
our hands But the FIRE Zouares are incorrgi-
Die. They seem perfectly oblivious to every
sentiment of honor, gratitude or decency.
They have nothing but the human form and
faculty Of speech to distinguish them from
gorrlllas.
