 CULpEppER, August 3.-I have great pleasure in transmitting, for the readers of the Picayume,, the following address of Generals Johnston and Beauregard, after the battle of Manassas, to the soldiers: HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc.l
 MANASSAS JUNCTION, July B, I86l.| Soldiers of he Contederate States:
 One week ago, countless host of men, organized into an army, with all the ap- pointments which modern art and practl- cal skill could devise, invaded the soil of Virginia.
 Their people sounded their approach with triumphant displays of anticipated victory. Their generals came in almost regal state. Their ministers, senators and women came to witness the immolation of this army and the subjugation of our peo- pie, and to celebrate these with wild reval- ".
 It is with the profoundest emotions of gratitude to an overruling God, whose hand is manifest in protecting our homes and your liberties that we, your generals commanding, are enabled, in the name of our whole country, to thank you for that patriotic courage, that heroic gallantry. that devoted daring, exhibited by you in the actions of the 18th and 2lst of July, by which the host ofthe enemy was scatter ed, and signal and glorious victory was acheived.
 The two affairs of the 18th and 2lst were but the sustained and continued efforts of your patriotism against the constantly recurring colors of an enemy fully treble our numbers, and this effort was crowned, on the evening of the 2lst, with a victory so complete that the invaders were driven from the field and made to fly in disorder ly rout back to their entrenchments, dis tance of over thirty miles.
 They left upon the field nearly every piece of their artillery, large portion of their arms, equipments, baggage, stores, etc, etc., and almost every one of their wounded and dead, amounting, together with the prisoners, to many thousands, ,and thus the northern hosts were driven by you from Virginia.
 Soldiers! we congratulate you on an event which insures the liberty of our coun try We congratulate every man of you whose glorious privilege it was to partic- ipate in this triumph of courage and truth. to fight in the battle of Manassas. You have created an epoch in the history of lib erty, and unborn nations will rise up and call you blessed Continue this noble de- votion, looking always to the protection of the just God, and before time grows much older, we will be hailed as the deliv CTS of nation of ten millions of people!
 Comrades! Our brothers who have fallen have earned undying renown, and their blood, shed in our holy cause, is precious and acceptable sacrifice to the father of truth and right? their graves are beside the tomb of Washington, their spirits have joined his in eternal communion. We shall hold the soil in which the dust of Washington is mingled with the dust of our brothers. We drop one tear on their laurels, and move forward to avenge them.
 Soldiers! We congratulate you on glorious triumph and complete victory We thank you for doing your whole duty in the service of your country.
 JOSEPH E JOHNSTON.
