Battle OF Bulls Run.-incidents, &c.
We have collected large number Of in
cidents Of the battle of Bulls Run, which
we publish below, some of which will be
read with deep and thrilling interest,
Public opinion in Washington centers
very nearly to the conclusion that our de-
feat was caused secondarialy, by the con-
duct of inferior officers, but the primary
cause was the failure of Gen. Patterson to
/ fulfil the orders Of the government and
prevent the reinforcement of Beauregard.
The Indignation against him is universal,
and it will be more so when the facts are all
krown.-Rev. S. Ii. Lancey Of Connecti-
cut, who escaped after being captured by
the enemy was told that the rebels had ta-
ken a solemn pledge to kill all prisoners
An escaped fire Zouave confirms this state
ment. He says the Zouaye prisoners we're
all handcufed, their arms pinioned, and
they were subjected TO the most barbarous
and inhuman indignities, which they were
told was preliminary to killing them. 1t is
now said and believed that the enemy kill
ed more of our wounded soldiers by bayo-
netting them as they lay helpless on the bat
tie field, after the termination of the fight,
than were killed during the regular engage
ment. 1t is reported that at the same time
the panic seized the union troops, similar
one seized the rebels and that they enacted
scene quite ike that on this side of their
lines.
The removal of Gen Patterson was in
sesponse to strong remonStrances from Pill
adelphia, from men who questioned his loy-
atty. 1t will be recollected that after the
surrender of Sumter, the people of Phila.
delphia demanded that certain persons
should display the American flag, and that
the first house visited by the excited popu-
lace was that of Gen. Patterson. The un-
erring instincts of the mob pointed him out
then, as sympathiser with the rebels, and
later events 60 far to prove they were COR
| rect.
William Wilson of New York was carry
ing a wounded comrade, Hantz GLADDEN.,
from the field, yhen GLADDEN. implored VIII
son to leave him. Il shall die at any rate,'
said he, and the rebels may overtake and
Kill you; they will not hurt me when they
see that am wounded So he left him
on the ground, and looking back when the
rebels came up, he saw one of them take
out his knife and deliberately cut Gladden's
throat from ear 10 ear, almost severing his
head from his body. Wilson and GLADDEN.
were members Of the fire Zouave regiment.
A letter was received in Washington on
Tuesday from lady in Richmond, in which
she says There Is no rejoicing in Rich
mond. The number of killed and wound
ed brought into Richmond is fearful" This
aorroborates statements made by others that
the mortality among the rebels is much
greater than our loss.
The New York fire Zouaves were won
derfuly effective in all their movements
They literally decimatea the Black Horse
cavalry, the celebrated rebel troop. About
the middle of the battle they fred by plat.
oons upon the rebel infantry stationed in
the woods. After they had fired they dis.
covered troop of horse coming down on
their rear. They carried the American
flag which deceived Col. Heintzelman, and
made him believe they were United States
cavalry, and he so told the Zouaves. AS
they came nearer, their true character was
discovered, but too late for al the Zouayes
to reload. The regiment faced and recei-
Yed the cavalry as they came down with
leveled bayonets, which threw them into
confusion. Then away went muskets, and
the Zouaves went in with their knives and
pistols. They seized horses and stabbed
their riders. In this hand TO hand conflict
the Black Horse troop were handled in
theF own professed way of fighting. The
sequel showed the ZouaYes to be the most
expert handlers of the knife. When the
fight was over there were not twenty Of the
four hundred cayalry left alive. Men and
horses had been cut to pieces by the infuri-
ated red-shirts. This troop of cavalry had
boasted they would picket their horses in
the grounds of the White House. When
the coloys Of the sixty-ninth were captured
by the Virginians, two of them seized the
flags and were going off with them, when
Lieut.. Msiihews, Of company l., FIRE Zou-
ayes, fired and killed both the Virginians
