Dear Sister: / write you line, which will in-
FORM you that am we'll You haze doubtless,
heard and read Of the great battle at Manassas,
on last Sunday, in which participated from be-
ginning to ending. 1t commenced about two
miles to our right and 'oIr Brigade was ordered
TO the lcitwing, whidh caused us to run double
d'iiJS about seven miles. We finally reached the
'huttcry, md after hard lighting for several hours
we charged upon 1t, and then had hard fight to
hold tho piece. but finally the Cavalry come to
our aid and the Hessians dispersed in great dis
order. iGrand sight to behold) They pursued
fhe enemy for several miles, cutting them down
Nn the right and ON the left, taking, in all, about
1000 prisoners that day and many more the next.
Firing ceased about o'clock, and the horrors of
war were fully presented to our view, for the dead
and the dying were as thick rs hail stones. Many

Genera Bee, Lieut., Col. Booth, of our Regiment,
ANU. McCnity. Of our Company, killed. and about
zone dozen of them wounded. Our Company suf-
furet as much as any, for we were In the heat Of
battle, all occasionally retiring and again rally
ing. They had greatly the advantage of us IN
the position, as they picked it themselves. We
buried all our dead that we could find, in boxes
some we never found. Our army dug holes and
buried the most of the enemy's dead--some are
yet unburied, just lying on the field they fell.
We captured in ell about go cannon, 5000 prison
crs, many horses, wagons, guns, ammunition, and
many other things too tedious to mention. 1 refer
you to tho newspapers, for am at n loss to know
how to describe the battle. JEFF Davis came in
late in the evening and pursued the enemy with
the horsemen, and says it was the greatest victory
ON record. One shot cut my pants, another
cut the corner of little book in my breast

cannon balls grape shot and bomb shells fell thick
all around me. The way they whstled in the air
is understandable. Wben,the battle was over
so exhausted that IL L had been pushed over

my life was miraeuloasiy preserved, and felt
grateful, which might be attributable to the in

Russell's Apology for the Yankee
Defeat at Manassas.

Ntw York, Aug. 20.-Russell's letter
says the repulse at Manassas, decided as
it was might have had 20 serious effect
but for the disgraeeful conduct of the
troops. The retreat ended in a cowardly
rout, a miserable, causeless panic. such
scandalous conduct on the part of soldiers
| considered impossible. | have never
even among camp. followers, seen the
liSe. The North must put her best men
in battle, or she will inevitably fail before
the energy and superior military prowess
