The retreat from these places was in accordance
with ORDERS Bull Run being selected as the battle
ground. Our troops, after firing several hundred
rounds withdrew in order before advancing on the
foe, and fell back on Bull Run. Here the retiring
forces were met by the Eleventh, Seventeenth and
FIRST Virginia regiments and waited, expecting to
hght at daybreak. AT four o'c pck the afternoon
the main body of the foe advanced to within half
mile OF Bull Run and made several attempts to ad-
vance, each time being repulsed with great saugb-
ter. Ihe retreat had every appearance of signal
rout, they leaving their dead and wounded behind
and losing six Pieces OF artillery. Two Virginia
regiments pursued some distance, capturing num-
Der of prisoners.
The enemy in their several advances behaved
at hrst with great spirit, quickly rallying and
closing up their worSted columns, but finally broke
and gave way under the murderous execution of |
our musketry and artillery.

ALEXANDRIA, July &c.
The Lincoln hirengs in our midst have shown by
their conduct that they are wholly unworthy of
the kindness shown them by our citizens in the
hour of their distress and humility. Yesterday
one of these so-called soldiers, in state of
ntoxicaon, after abusing and insulting several
Irish women went to the house of a respect table !
colored woman, beat down the door, and pro-
ceeding to commit other outrages, when he was
seized by one OF our citizens, who had been prom
nent 10 his attentions to the wants of the soldiers
on Monday. While undertaking to take him to the
gusrd-hOuse, the citizen 50 set upon by a
crowd of the friends of the drunken wretch,
knocked down and then arrested. Another citi-
zen on the opposite side of the street was, with
out the slightest rrovocaon, attacked By the same
party of soldiers, knocked down and shockipgly
mutilated about the head.
Yesterday afternoon, as Mr.. Robert Jameson,
President of the Exchange Bank, aud his WIFE were
walking out Columbus street, one of the New York
35th men, who had previously sworn that he would
shoot some one of the id Secessonists before
he lett, discharged his piece the ball taking effect
in the OF Mrs Jameson, nhicting a wound
that will, in all probability, render amputation
necessary.
The residence of Rev. Mr.. Sprigg (whose father
is a Baltmorean) entered yesterday by an
officer and seven men, and his furniture broken
up-beds ransackCd and cut to pieces, and the
most wantnn depredations committed. The house
OF Sheriff Castleman sso seized as a barracks,
and the furniture in it ruined
The officers here in command seem to have no
control whatever over their men. The man who
shot Mrs. Jameson was arrested by a X1uave who
threatened himself to hang the scoundre bat an
officer arriving the spot, had the Zousve and the
assassin both to- all, and there, n all proba-
biiitE, the matter will rest There is no means of
dress for grievances, aud the screws aru being
turned tighter and tighter on our citizens The
Confederate troops said to be within a few
miles Of the city, and their pickets nightly take off
several HesSans. The desertions continue nune-
rous, and IL will be difficult matter to get the
remnant of the "grand army" to meet the South
ern again. Green's Mansion House. which
taken by the soldiers for barracks, is in the
most filthy condition already. 1t was one of the
cleanest and best hotels in the country but in
days has been defled that it will take month
to put it again in order The liberty of speech is
now denied our citiZens-a declaration in favor Of
the South being deemed sufficient cause for arrest.
On Wednesday afternoon, Messrs. Miller and Gre
gorv, the latter the President of the Farmers Bank,
while ConversiDg, arrested by squad of SOL
diers, without authori v, for expressing Southern
sentiments, and taken before the Provost Marshal,
who dismissed them, but did not rebuke the ofcious
soldiers. | could fill two columns of the Exchange
with instances of the grievances of citizens, but
the above are sufficient to give you some idea of
what we have to endure. We trust, however, that
God, in His good time, will relieve from now
almost unbearable yoke of oppression. No commu-
nifty could have borne itself more nobv than has
this one in all their trials With your dOwn-trod-
den community We can sympathiZe. z.
