teamsters unhitched their horses and abandon
ed the wagons, when there was not the slightest
necessity. The rebel cavalry was the terror of
the volunteers, who were compelled to keep the
woods to avoid being charged on by them.

WASHINGTON, July 22-The Herads dis.
patch says the rebels outnnmbered US three to
one. After the day had been won by us, fresh
rebel troops were substituted for those who
were defeated. The ammunition of our artillery
had been expended in the contest, and as the
scaissons were rushing at full speed to the rear
for new supplies of ammunition, the movement
was construed by teamsters and civilians there
into retreat. A panic among them occurred
They ran for their horses, and without waiting
to ascertain the facts cut the traces of wagon
horses and commenced precipitate retreat
The CONSERVATION thus created was commune
Gated to the soldiers in the rear of the column
u
from Manassas was made upon them. 1t was
nothing more nor less than stampede. The
enemy themselves were unaware of it. The re-
suit is, in great measure, attributed to the tar
diness Of Gen. Patterson.
Gov. Sprague, during the whole day, chal-
lenged universal admiration; and aided by Mr.
Caster, Paymaster of the New York 14th, sue
ceeded in bringing some degree Of order out of
this chaos. These brave Rhode Islanders were
formed in the rear to oppose the advance of
the pursuers.
The number of killed and wounded has been
greatly exaggerated. r@
Gen Mcdowell behaved with the greatest
bravery, but this was unavailiEg to arrest
panic in the rear. eao9 f

& NEw YoRK, July ga spectator of the bat
tie of Bulls Run says the single cause of the
panic was charge by a large body OF cavalry
among the teamsters and struggling soldiers who
were in the rear of our main forces, between
the Run and Centreville e h8
When Gen. Mcdowell found that his reserve
was on the retreat, it was too late to counterfeit
the mistake, and he then commanded the main
body TO fall back, which it did quietly, and in
good order. n -
