UOO at any one time.
The soldiers are completely worn out
They complain Of the want Of food, having
had nothing for breakfast yesterday, and
entire engagement, while the rebel strength
was constantly supplied with fresh troops.
The whole battle on the centre column
was within radius of a mile.
1t Is believed the rebels abandoned some
OF their batteries Tor the purpose Of dccoy-
| ing the attacking force to advance to DO
sition where double fire could be directed
at them to sweep their lines in the grand re-
treat.
Many Of the Garibaldians acted like sava-
gcs, firing in every direction on their run
In Fairfax county houses were invaded and
innocent persons maltreated They seem to
have been completely crazed in their rage
over the repulse. .-r .'
Sherman's battery, or the greater part of
it, has returned to the city. The reason
why the other batteries were taken, was be-.
cause the horses attached, as well as the re-
serve horses were shot down, rendering their
removal impossible.
4 Variants battery will be mustered outof
service at New York, where it will arrive to-
morrow afternoon.
The soldiers stationed at Ball s cross roads

since yesterday evening, been seen within
