FROM ALEXANDRIA.

ALEXANDRIA, July 27.-A most wanton
murder was committed here o.day, about lo
o'clock, by VIM. Murray, of Co. +, I'd New
Hampshire regiment. The victim was an I'M
fortunate girl named Mary Butler, living in the
lower part of the city. Murray, who was
drunk, accosted her in the street, and after ex-
changing a few words with her, deliberately
shot her with his musket. The ball passed en-
tirely through her body, and caused her death
in. few moments. Murray will be tried by a
court martial on Monday.
The last of the troops stationed in this city
went into camp to-day, much to lthe relief OF
the citizens. Up to the present time, the pro-
vost marshal has destroyed upwards OF fifty
barrels OF liquor, Notwithstanding which, the
drunkenness among tue troops is fearful.
Gems. Mcclellan and Mcdowell, under es-
cort of cavalry corps, visited Alexandria this
afternoon to view Fort Ellsworth and the diff
ferent regiments.
Col. Keyes has been appointed to command
the 9TH brigade of the 4th division, comprising
the 18th and SSth New York, the I'd and Sd
New Jersey, the 18th Massachusetts, and the
Mozart regiments.
Gen. Mcdowell highly complmented Gen.
Runyon to-day, for zeal and efficiency in com
handing the reserve, during the advance on
Manassas. In order to keep his Zouaves
within their encampment Gen. Runyon de-
tailed guard last right from the Mozart regi
ment. A party of straggers from that regi-
ment arrived from Washington last night un.
der an escort of cavalry. Gen. Runyon retires
tomorrow, and Maj. Mcclellan assumes com

they have two guns on one battery and three
on another, and while a secession party from
Washington was in that vicinity, Saturday,
train Of cars, full of troops, is said to have ar
rived there. By way of amusement or expert
ment a few Intellectual shots were fired at the
distance of three miles. Some Of our citizens
were considerably alarmed, last night, by sue.
cessive reports OF heavy cannon, which proved
to be from the same steamboat with the above
excursion party.
The business of the executive sessions OF the
senate so far have been confined principally to
action on appointments. Those tor the army
under the new bill will be thoroughly sifted in
order to obtain efficiency.
Information was received this evening, rela-
tive to Arnold, Harris, and McGraw, who
went in quest of the body Of Col. Cameron.
The former was sent by the rebels to Rich.
mond, and the latter to Manassas Junction.
They did not accomplish the object of their
mission, Mr.. Burch who took them to Bulls
Run has returned, and reports that all the
dead are not yet buried, and that the slaugh-
ter on the side of the enemy is greater by far
than they represented it

Fort MONROE, July 26. - Last night at a
late hour, an order arrived here from WASH
ington directing four of the regiments here to
be Immediately transported thither. Col.
Bakers and Col. Duryea's regiments have
sailed, and the 3D. and 4th New York regi
ments will follow Their places at Old Point
will be filled by large number of recruits
The California and New York regiments will
form brigade under command of Col Baker.
In consequence of this movement the con-
templated advance to Fox Hill has been aban-
doned. Hampton is still held by a strong force.
Newport News will, it is believed, Withstand
any force Col. Magruder can bring against it.
1t is general believed that the rebels will at
tack Newport News within a few days.
During the last few hours the rebels have
extended their pickets i miles nearer Hamp-
ton This afternoon some 20 horsemen at
tackled one of our pickets who dispersed the
party and killed one of their number.
LaMountain made an ascension last evening
at Hampton, but, on account of high wind
he could not attain a great elevation. Col.
Aliens trial is in progress. He has been con-
fined some time to close quarters at Carroll
Hall. 1t is supposed several contrabands fol-
lowed the California regiment disguised in
uniforms.
An arrival from Hampton reports that Max
Weber expects to lie attacked tonight, the
rebels being already some distance this side
of New Market bridge, with strong force of
infantry and cavalry.
BALTIMORE, July 28.-The Old oint boat
brings the following: Three companies of
the four regiments ordered to Washington
will leave Old Point by the Baltimore boat i;
thirty sick go with them in charge of DIR.
Wainwright.
1t became apparent, last evening, that the
rebels mediiated an attack on Hampton. Gen.
Butler determined to abandon the town In
case of formidable ADVANCE and at O'Clock
an order was given for families and goods to
be removed within an hour. Orders were also
issued to burn the place rather than have it
fall into the hands of the enemy. The Gen.
era well understands that possession of
Hampton by the rebels would be of no partic-
ular importance.
A stampede of the negro population took
place all last night, and to-day the road has
been lined with refugees to the fortress, and
the army wagons and carts bringing in goods
from Hampton. Nearly 1000 'contrabands"
must have come in during the last twenty. -four
hours. For the present, those not employed
will be quartered in and around the seminary
buildings, lately the headquarters of Duryea.
About 9 O'Clock Friday night the naval brig
ade and the Massachusetts companies came in
and encamped near the fortress. Max Weber's
regiment came in Saturday morning, and will
occupy Camp Hamilton. An alarm occurred
this morning, and several buildings in Hamp-
ton were fired by our troops The rebels will
doubtless occupy the place tomorrow, unless
it be burned.
A flag of truce came in from the rebels pro-
Tossing wish to exchange Shurtlef and Capt

her thither. They employed her as a hospital
nurse. On Thursday she procured pass

She walked to Alexandria, where she arrived
this morning. Her husband she discovered
was not prisoner, but returned safe in camp

several messages from several of them to their
friends, and says the wounded are well cared
for. The offer of liberty has been rendered to
all, provided they will take an oath not again

their dead as fast as they could be recovered,
and that the enemy represent that their dead
number only fifty but that their wounded
exceed fifteen hundred. She saw many of our
dead unburied, as she passed over the battle
ground, and disting lshed some of them by
their uniforms. She says that the force of the
enemy at Manassas is very large, and that the
officers are very busy drilling their troops,
and that Beauregard is constantly on the
move, going from one part of the camp to an
other, AMI arranging, as they said, Tor some
great movement. She reports that large
force of the enemy is at Fairfax, with heavy

FROM RICHMOND.

LOUISVILLE, July ~. = The Richmond
Wing of the oath says the battle at Bulls Run
was opened by throwing out heavy artillery
and small field pieces at o'clock in the morn
ing. The forces of the enemy can never be
ascertained Our force was 10000. Men
never fought more desperately than ours. We
have captured Is pieces of artillery, and taken
some 800 or 400 prisoners. The number of
our killed and wounded can not yet be ascer
tained-estimated at 500 killed and wounded
while that of the enemy is not less than sew
eral thousand. The Oglethorpe Light Infant
ry of Georgia were cut to pieces, and Baylor's
fine regiment OF Georgians nearly annihAated.
BY the cars last night, president Davis re-
turned from the battle field. In response to
calls from an immense crowd, who had come
together to greet him, he alluded to the grand
absorbing topic of the day. The enemy, he
said, with the taxes they had been imposing
on us for twenty years, had fitted out an army
on magnificent scale. They had come over
to Virginia with plenty of arms and ammuni.
ton, and with ambulanees fitted up in such
style of luxury as though they thought they
were still taxing the south. They had five or
six hundred army wagons with them, and pro.
visions of every kind in abundance In the
whole campaign they mad over five hundred
hon sai nd ffien. Their finest parks of heavy
ht artillery, are ours They left every.
behind them they could throw away.
