The rtraina which reached this city Yesterday
evening from Manassas bring rumors OF strange
and tremendous import Gentlemen direct from
the late battle field assure US that IL is reported
and believed, in, the neighborhood of Manassas,
that on Tuesday the Federal troops, who had re-
treated to Alexandra after their deieat, fell TO
fighting among themselves, and that, after great
numbers had been alsin, the remainder took up
their line of march for Washington, or rt6
A special train was started from Manassas
Junction yesterday morning, freighted with over
two hundred of our wounded troops, who had
been struck In the late battle. Tney were dis.
tributed at the various stopping places'along the
ineef the railroad, IN the 1eighborhood OF their
homes, and q number were transferred1to the
train going Westward toward Staunton. q Be-
tween thirty and forty we're brought on to this
city q nd properly cared for and disposed of by
the Relief Committee. Among the number Of
our wounded we were delighted to recognize
private Massenbufg, Of the Thomas Artillery,
whom some Of our papers had 90 ruthleasly slain.
Mr., Massenburg, though painfully wounded In
the back of the neck by a fragment OF shell
which knocked him fat on bis face, was in foe
spirits IS p Ju 71ta.vI
The remains Of Lieut.. Edgar Macon, of the
same company, were brought down to Orange
Court House, and there delivered to his friends
TO be inferred in the family burying ground
Lieut.. Macon was native Of Orange, and q
grand nephew of President Madison ift15 a'-
Two cars in this train were appropriated TO
the transportatlonof wounded Yankees, twenty
three In number, the majority of whom belong
ed to Eilsworth's Fire Zousyes.l There were
among them, however, q great variety OF uni.
forms. Ore fellow, with bright red pants and
blue jacket, told US he belonged to the l4th
Regiment lof New York militia. They were
all wounded in the most horrible manner and
as their wounds had received no attention, they
were In a truly pitiable condition
b Their friends having run of and deserted
them, they had lain on the field just where their
injuries were received until picked up by our
troops, and our surgeons being more than busy
attending to our own wounded, their cases were
of necessity postponed till they arrived in this
city. The most OF them had been shot tn the
lower extremitiess Ohe fellow had both OF bis
Z iege crushed and several had one leg broken
3 One OF the zousyes presents most dreadful
spectacle, A ride ball entered Just below his
9 right eye. his whole face. and head were go
sweiled and distorted by Inflammation that " 70
- no great stretch OF language TO say that"hia
own mother would not have known him."lsH
III From another yof. Ellsyorth's zouayes' whose
q left leg had been shattered BY musket bullet,
butwho seemed at the time 70 be suffering little
