turn our left flank, and to reach the railroad
leading hence ia the direction Of Winchester.
To do this, he extended his lines, which he
was enabled to do by reason of his great num-
bers. This was unfortunate for US, as it re-
quired corresponding extension of our own
lines to prevent his extreme right from out
hanking us-a movement on our part which
weakened the force of our resistance along
the whole line of battle, which finally extend
ed over space of two miles. 1t also render
ed it the more difficult to bring up reinforce
ments, as the further the enemy extended bis
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 enemy's column contin-
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. kwell, 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-
cupying the centre of our lines, to cooperate
in his movement, but not to move until Gen.
Ewell had made the attack. The order to
Gen. Ewell 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,

except at the loss of thousands of prisoners
and all his batteries, while the field would
have been strewn with bis dead.
Finding that his orders had in some way
failed to be executed, Gen. Beauregard at
last ordered up portion of the forces which
were intended to, Cooperate with Gen. Ewell.
1t was late, however, before these reinforce
aments came up. Only one brigade reached
the field before the battle was won- This
was led by Gen. E. K. Smith, of Florida, for
merly 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 accf-
dent on the railroad. They dashed on the
charge with loud shouts and in the most gall
liant style. About the same time, Maj. Ei.ey
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 the country, and, as gracious for
tune would have it, he encountered the ex-
treme right of the enemy as he was feeling
bis way around our flank, and with his brig
ade struck him like q thunder-bolt, full in the
face. Finding he was about to be out-fanked
himself, The enemy gave way after the second
fire. Meanwhile, Beauregard rallied the GEN.
ire and dashed into the very thickest 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, and finally in much confusion. At
this point, the cavalry were ordered upon the
pursuit. The retreat now became a 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

szOn Sunday. the 21st day of Jnly. 1861,
this great battle was fought, and a great vic
tory won by the Confederate troops. Heaven
smiled on our arms, and the God of battles
crowned our banners with laurels of glory.
Gen. Johnston had arrived the preceding
day with about half of the force he had de-
tailed from Winchester, and was the senior
officer in command. He magnanimously fn-
sisted, however. that Gen. Beauregard's pre-
vious plan should be carried out, and he was
guided entirely by the Judgment and superior
local knowledge of the latter. While, there
fore, Gen. Johnston was nominally in COM
mand. Beauregard was really the officer and
hero of the.day.
At half-past six in the morning the enemy
opened fire from a battery planted on bill
beyond Bull Run, and nearly opposite the
centre of our lines The battery was intend
ed merely to "beat the bush, ;" and to occupy
our attention, while he moved heavy col
umn towards the Stone Bridge, over the
same cretk, upon our left. At ten o'clock,
another battery was pushed forward, and
opened fire short distance to the left of the
other, and near the road leading North to
CenIrevile. This was q battery of riHed
guns, and the object of its fire was the same
as that of the other. They fired promiscu-
ously into the woods and gorges on this, the
Southern, side of Bull Run, seeking to create
the impression thereby that our centre would
be attacked, and thus prevent us from send
ing reinfOrcements to our left, where the real
attack was to be made. Beauregard was not
deceived by the maneuvre.
1t might not be aniss to say that Bull Run
or creek is North of this place, and runs
nearly due East, curving around the juno
ton, the nearest part of which is about 81
miles. The Stone Bridge is some seven miles
distant, in North-westerly direction, upon
which our left wing rested. Mitchel's ford is
directly North, and distant four miles, by the

We are continually receiving evidences
from the border States of the existence of
strong Union sentiment among the peo-
Pile This does not show itself in clamor-
Gus and excited harangues, but in orderly
meetings, and the adoption of patriotic
resolutions. 1t will be proper to refer to
a few of these
Alta public meeting in Hawkins county,
Tennessee, resolutions wore adopted which
recount the blessings of the Union, and
add
"That we regard these ms real benefits
which will compensate many fancied evils
and imaginary wrongs; that it is better to
bear with something Of unfrnternnl feeling,
something Of unkindness, something un-
generous, rather than submit to the evils
of anarchy, the terrors of insecurity, and
the horrors OF civil war
"ThNt We deny tho doctrine of the seces-
SION and diSuuiOn party, that any State
may secede from the Union at its pleasure,
bnt we maintain the doctrine of James
Madison, .that the constitution required
an adoption in toto and forever, and that
IL was adopted by the States with that
understanding. We endorse the views of
Andrew Jackson, that secession is treason"
In Randolph county, North Carolina, "a
large meeting on the 2sth of December
adopted this resolve:
"ThHt, in the opinion of this meeting, it
would be unWiSs and suicidal to the best
interests Of North Carolina for any cause

: Felloto Citizens of Ohio Comfy
Having been desi mated by portion nj
my fellow citizens, as candidate for the
. forthcoming Convention, I deem it due to
+ you, in view Of the monentous Issue that
is upon US, to declare IN all sincerity,
without reservation and without ambigui-
! " or circumlocution, my sentiments in re-
gurd to the present crisis In our national
affairs.
I LIST. believe, in the language of the
Z Constitution, that "the Constitution aud
+ the laws Of the United States, which shall
be made in Pursuance thereof, are the
| Supreme law Of the land, any thing in the
Constitution or laws" or OTd'HaRees, "of
any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
! I'd. recognize no right OF forcible Sc
cessiOn in any member of this COnfeder-
ncy, but believe with jackson, that 'sdis-
union-hy armed force treason.
3D.. Au unaltera6ly attached to the
Constitution and Union of the States, and
shall cling TO il under all circumstances,
as the last hope of my country.
4th. believe that the powers aud pro-
visions of the Constitution, when rightly
and dpcerely invoked, are adequate to the
redress of every grievance which may arise
under the operation of the general gov
ernment.
5th. believe that the preservation OF
the constitution aud HlI the powers of the
government intact, is our only security
for "life, liberty and the pursuit ofhappi-
ness"
9th. In the next place, am not willing
to surrender this security for anything that
secession or disunion has to offer.
18th. Whatever grievances exist 1 would
have them redressed within the Union, and
by the remedies provided by the Constitu-
ton, and believe that so soon as we sur
render these, VS. give up the only instru
ment for the redress of every wrong.
9th. believe that the general govern.
mentinits PAsthistory has been beneficentin
its operation, and that it has conferred uu-
told blessings upon the whole country,
and that the people Of this country will
then come to estimate its value Alright. il
they should madly destroy it, aud 90 off,
they know not where-Nfter an object,
they know not what.
9TH. Finally, nm opposed to secession
in principles am opposed to it as meas
ure of P0licyi am opposed TO it as a
sensible remedy for anything that man
may be called upon to fear or suffer.
Such. fellow citizens, as plainly and
succinctly as can express them, are my
sentiments in regard to the great and over
shadowing question which now agitntes
tho country, and upon the proper settle
ment OF which ou7 existence as a nation,
depends.
| observe, however, that the community
hre somewhat interested in the questions
OF nm dd rOIOrea taxation OF property, and

DEAR SIR;-YOur response to the ques-
lions propounded to you in the IntelligeReer
newspaper, aud which you answer in the
same paper of the 2lst, is not satisfactory
to your Union loving feIlow-citiLens, and
what makes it the less so is because it
gives great satisfaction to those who ara
known as unqualified disunionists; as it
does also, TO that class calling themselves
qualified disunionists, or those who main j.
tain that the State of Virginia ought to
dissolve its connection with the Federal
Government, unloss Crittendan's resolu-
lions are adopted. Now, Sir, as, in my
judgment, the question before us is one
of life or death to Western Virginia,
cannot afford TO hc deceived, for into the
hands Of the Convention 10 be convened
at Richmond, on tue 18th of February, and
TO which yOn aspire to be delegate, is to

self, or for you, simply as friend, l ask you

convenience, by a simple yes or no appcn-

in your opinion il would be TO the interest
of Wheeling for tile State of Virginia to

you are in favor of secession unless Crit

great twclve-inch Columbiad, the largest
gun made, loaded with twenty-five pounds
of powder, a shell of lie pounde, and the

has made range only of 5000 yards, the

BY increasing the elevation to 80 degrees
only 100 yards more was gained in the
range. The guns of Fort Sumter can only
be raised to au elevation of 30 degrees on

ly could do no damage beyond about two
