TIE FATE OF TRAlToRs.-Thcrc is no
doubt that the v!cSt lrcachcry was p-acticrd
on tho Manassas railroad ~ defeat Il junction
between the inrccS of Gems. Johnston and
Braurcgar,l. The train conductor when
seized and charged with his treason, confessed
to having been tampcrcd with by The enemy,
and to have received the sum OF eight hun
drcd dollars to contIivc TO defeat tho union
of our forces So soon as he reached Manas-
sas, he was tried, and ordered by Gen. Beau
regard to lie shot. 1t is only by such stern
and severe examples that treason can he put
down and our soldiers preserved from dcstruc.
ton. Had the bribed wretch accomplished
his purpose. we might, instead Of recording
victory. have been compelled to chronicle a
fearful and disastrous defeat, cutailing conse-
quences sickening to dwell upon.
Our informant learned that on the same
day like stern visitation of Justice was mcted
out to recreant German, caught in the act
of plotting the enemy in their march on our
lincs.-Richmond Examiner.

aluding to the property found on the field of
battle, says:
~. the battle Of Manassas the large siege
thir,y.two FOUNDER, over which the Yankees
made such great brags, was captured. This
gun is 70 feet long. The Yankees only saved
two small pieces out Of all their field artillery.
These were fixed ON three wheels, and were
the only pieces taken through Centreville in
their ilish,. Residents of Centrerillc con-
firm this statement.
In addition to the 10000 stand of arms,
$4,000 handouts, four wacun.load5 Of horse

with sauces, sardines, preserved meats, peach
preserves, olives, &c. Our army is said to
have captured provisions enough TO last twelve
months.
Some Of the Yankees say the handouts
were intended for the negroes which they ex.
prc,cd 10 capture. 1t is believed, however,
that they were intended 10 be used in mana.
