TEE BATTLE OF Bulls RUN.-Up to l. IN ,
to-day, the Government had received no official
communication whatever from the other side of
the river, since Gen. McDowelrs dispatch an
nouncing the occupation Of Fairfax Court House
Our latest reliable news from Gen McDowell's
advance at Bulls Run is up to 5, D. m, last
evening, though, as will De seen In this issue of
the Star, our correspond snts over the river send
Us somewhat later news
We do net believe that the firing heard at Falls
Church this morning took place at Manassas 1t
WA st Bull Run, we think; a continuation of
the engagement there OF Yesterday From all the
thousand rumors brought hither by persons who
have crossed the river day, we gather that
when the regular engagement ceased, at ., p. III ,
yesterday, no serious impression had been made
upon tie enemy's entertainments at Bulls Run
We are also Of impression that our loss up to
O'Clock had been perhaps thirty, all told, killed
and wounded.
10 seems to be thought at the War Department
that BsauregaId, late In the evening and through
out the nigh, advanced considerable bodies of
his troops from the Junction to Sustain those pre-
viously engaged at Bull Run, and It is alleged
general eng agement occurred there soon after
light tbs morning, with what result no one
here yet knows
The dislOd cement Of the enemy from lis works
at Bull Run can only be, with such an army as
Gen Mcdowell has, question of hours, though
the sacrifice Of life on our side to effect II NAV be
comparatively severe.
We hope for later reliable news ere bsias
forced to go to press.
P.s-Just as we 60 to press, we have positive
and fun adyices from Bull Run, up to a. m to-
day.
Bee, for them, Second Edition of this after
moons Star, to be Issued In an hour after this

going forward on the flags that the recents viii

peen some very low figures talked of as coming
from Boston and New Notwithstanding as low as
ehree and half millions of bales. We do not pay
