road leading to Centreville, which is sey zen
miles from the Junction. On our right is
Union Mills, on the same stream, where the
Alexandria and Manassas railroad crosses the
Run, and distant four miles Proceeding
from Fairfax Court House. by Centreviile, to
Stone Bridge, the enemy passed in front of
our entire line, but at a distance ranging
from five to two miles.
At 9 O'Clock our left under Brigadier Cen
erals Evans, jackson and Cooke, and Col.
Barlow, with the Georgia Brigade. composed
of the 7th and Sth regiments, had been put in
motion. and was advancing upon the enemy
with force of about 15 600, while the enemy
himself was advancing upon our left with
compact column of at least 10000 These
approaching columns encountered each other
at ii o'clock.
Meanwhile, the two batteries in front kept
up their fire upon the wooded hills where they
supposed our centre lay. At a quarter past
II, Johnston aud Beauregard galloped rapid
ly forward in the direction of Stone Bridge,
where the ball had now fully opened.
The artillery were the first to open FIRE, pre-
cisely at IL O'Clock. By halfpast III, the in
fantry had engaged and there it was that the
battle began to rage. The dusky columns
which had TINS far marked the approach of
the two armies, now mingled with great
clouds of smoke, as it rose from the flashing
guns below, and the two shot up together
like huge pyramid of red and blue. The
shock was as tremendous as were the odds
between the two forces. With what anxious
hearts was watched that pyramid of smoke
and dust When it moved to the right, we
knew the enemy were giving way; and when
it moved to the left, we knew that our friends
were receding. Twice the pyramids moved
to the right, and as often returned. At last,
about o'clock, it began to move slowly to
the left, and thus it continued to move for two
mortal hours. The enemy was seeking to

except at the loss of thousands of prisoners
and all his batteries, while the field would
have been strewn with his dead.
Finding that bis orders bad in some way
failed to be executed, Gen. Beauregard at
last ordered up a portion of the forces which
were intended to cooperate with Gen. Eweli.
1t was late, however. before these reinforce
ments came up. Only one brigade reached
the field before the battle was won. This
merIy of the United States Army, and was
part of Gen. Johnston's column from Win-
chester. They should have reached here the
day before, but were prevented by an acci-
dent on the railroad. They dashed on the
charge with loud shouts and in the most gall
liant style. About the same time, Maj. Elzey
formerly of the Augusta Arsenal looming
down the railroad from Winchester with the
last of Johnson's brigades, and hearing the
firing, immediately quit the train and struck
across country, and, as gracious for
tune would have it, he encountered the eX-
treDe right of the enemy as he was feeling
bis way around our flank, ana with his brig
ade struck him like a thunder-bolt, full in the
face. Finding he was about to be out-hdnked
himself. the enemy gave way after the second
fire. Meanwhile, Beauregard rallied the CEN
ire and dashed into the very thicEest of the
fight, and after him rushed our own brave
boys with a shout that seemed to shake the
very earth. The result of this movement
from three distinct points, was to force back
the enemy, who began to retreat, first in good
order, aud finally in MUCH confusion. AT
this point, the cavalry were ordered upon the
pursuit. The retreat now became IA perfect
rout, and it is reported that the flying le-
gions rushed past Centreville in the direction
of Fairfax, as if the earth had been opening
behind them. 1t vas when Gen. Beauregard

ed over a space of two miles. 1t also render
ed it the more difficult to bring up reinforce
ments, as the further the enemy exterded his
right, the greater the distance our reserve
forces had to travel to counteract the move
ment.
This effort to turn our flank was pressed
with great determination for five long, weary
hours during which the tide of battle ebbed
and flowed along the entire line with alter
nate fortunes. The enemg's column coutin-
ued to stretch away to the left, like huge
anaconda, seeking to envelope us within its
mighty folds and crush US to death; and at
one time it really looked as if he would
succeed
The moment he discovered the enemy's or
der of battle, Gen. Beauregard, it is said, dis
patched orders to Gen. EWell, on our ex-
treme right, to move forward and turn his
left or rear. At the same time he ordered
Generals Jones, Longstreet and Bnoham, oc-
cupyiug the centre of our lines to cooperate
in this movement, but not to move until Gen.
Ewell had made the attack. The order to
Gen. Eweil unfortunately miscarried. The
Others were delivered, but as the movements
of the centre were to be regulated entirely
by those on the right, nothing was done at
all. Had the orders to Gen. Ewell been re-
ceived and carried out, and our entire force
brought upon the field, we should have de-
stroyed the enemy's army almost literally
Attacked in the front. on the flank, and in
the rear, he could not possibly have escaped.
