On Sunday morning We left bone for Che purpose OF
visiting Mauassas junction. Wien we were within
about two miles and a la Z Of Sudley Mile IN Prince
William County, heard the firing Of Caunon aud
were met in the rosd by party Of ccn,ltuen, who
Informed us that further progress was imPJs47o' a.
large body of Federal troops was then pacing be-
tween us and Mills We afterwarj, however, pro-
ceeded TO within half a nile of Sudley.
The body o troops that we saw approaching Sndley
had been marched by crtltous route nom Centre.
Vile with the evident de-ign Of Ranking BcaUregard

cavalry WIS appri-o OF their approach by couple OF
gentlemen who preceded them N their march. The
Colonel was reinforced by boly Of infantry and tho
fight became general almost along be entire road from
Sndley 10 within few miles Of he junction die

the evening the enemy rama gave way ana they re-
treated in tho gtmo. c0n!u on, tie cavalry leading IA
the chase and our cavalry pursag tAcm los s1ne dis

We entered Sudley about half-psst seven Monday
morning. The church at That place. and the grove
surroundng H. had been used on Sunday O hospital
by The encny, for st0eiug away their Killed and
wounded, numbers Of whom, IN their prcCpitaie re-
treat they lett behind. On Monday our troops took
posession Of the ground, and when we let Lad num-
Der OF our wounded and some lev oil our dead also
there Quite u number Of tie enemy who hsd been
taken prisoners held by our troops, aud on
return home we paEsed teen Fedeials, ho were be-
ing marched back to Colonel Stewart, prisoners.
Inc scene around that little church h sad one
In pes of three and four lay the dead bodies Of Fed
eral soldiers, who had lcit their Northern homes TO
carry misery and death 10 the land they invaded
while their manged bodies and shattered nbs covered
the earth around. The involuntary prompting Of hui
nany made US almost shudder al the yht; but when
We remembered that gu that sane field had fallen
not 20 manybut Drawer, nobler, worhier, defenders
of our Tights our liberties our hones--we sorrowed
that every green lef that then shaded their ieyer,d
brow had not been legion OF soldiers, ten times arm
ed 20 breathe death and destruction upon their heads
The prisoners with whom we conversed told the
L. Iawa ham Yf.rA aFratraa
their Wills TO invade the soil OF Nirgini, ana invoked
loud and deep curses upon the heads OF thslr officers
who they sad threatened them with death If they
fused 10 come. Others can believe as much OF this as
they please.
We learn that on Sunday during the progress Of the
fight several Of the Northern soldiers marched into
the ward surrounding the Sudley House, and threw
down their arms saying that they had been deceived
and would fight iongeri that fourteen millions Of
men could never subdne people who fought as the
Southerners had done that day" These are tho men,
probably, that Abraham thinks capable Of forming a
Cabinet. We would advise him 10 take them TO his
bosom.
