Since the order Of fthe British Government

is almost disposed to declare war against

of o.lasi hostility, which, it appears 70 as
ought to have arrested all conference win

DWAsHrNaTOS, July IS.
Reports are prevalent and credited that
fight of minor Importance took place Of
Bull Run, four miles from Manassas juno
tiOn, and several were killed and wounded
on the federal side from battery. w
An officer from the seat Of war, who
reached here tonight, brings information
that the troops which marched from Fairfax
Court House appeared before CenLerville
aoout one o'clock this morning. They halt
ed within half mile of the enemy's en-.
trenohments, and, instead Of battle, they
suddenly saw the national flag hOisted over
the town, and q solitary man running down
the line announcing that the enemy had
fed. The band played the Star Spangled
Banner amid the cheering Of the Federal
troops.
1t is said there we're 1000 or 8, 600 troops
Of the Confederate army at CenterVille, but
the number Was probably much exaggera-
ted. They took their cannon with them.y
1t is stated, on the authority Of several
officers, that the news of Gen. MeClellsn's
victories was generally known at Man
assss.

TNTERRsTING INTRLLIGRNCE.

WAsHNGToE, July lS. %
Herald's camp correspondent says:
The fact is established that the rebel
force at Fairfax was composed of their
crack regiments. The retreat Of these men
without showing fight will demoralize the
whole force at Manassas Junction.
A signal dispatch from Gen. Beauregsrd
to Gen. Cooke, commanding the rebel force
at Germantown, was found. Heinstructed
him to keep particularly careful lookout
on Tuesday evening, thereby showing that
some traitors in Washington apprised the
rebels Of the time Of advance.
Late this afternoon, gentleman arrived
direct from there by way OF Manassas
Junction. He left there last night.
BE reports that there were at Manassas
last night only 1900 men. Their means
of defence were elabOrately prepared, but
it is his opinion that they will not with
stand an assault
They had at the Junction 100 railroad
cars on Sunday night. ~ ~
Besuregard went to Richmond. The
command at the Junction devolved on Gen.
CreWshaw, second in command at Rich
mond. There was military consultation
as TO what course would be pursued Il
was after this conference that the immense
train Of cars was sent up to the junction.
This is significant fact.
1t is now believed that the rebels will
leave the Junction and make their first
great stand at Richmond They have al
ready mounted 20 cannon of large cslibre,
and have some ten thousand whites and
negroes at work day and night on the de-
fences.

not reply TO our return fire for half an hour,
during which time they were receiving
large reinforcemehts. While we we're
again advancing, we were met with rsk-
ing FIRE. 0RF-guns we're again put in DO
sition, and we poured grape and cannisIer
among the enemy till the supply was ex-
hausted. Capt. Ayres, Of the artillery, lost
one man killed and three wounded, and
several Of his pieces were disabled. .-,-
The New York 18th suffered most, and the

to retire. .i,sf ia .4

time engaged. The force of the rebels was
estimated at 1000 -.s..t ..
Col. Wilcox's division, including the Fire
Zopaves, moved from Fairfax station to-
night to flank the enemy. This battery is
thought to be one of line of batteries from

The rebel army is a deceitful above all
things" and never falfls its engagements.
EEery day the place where the grand stand
is 70 be made, is removed from its place Of
the day before. The rebels were first to
attack and take Washington. Scott hlled
the city up with troops, and they didn't do
IL Then they filled up Alexandria, and
were going to make grand and desperate
stand there. Ghe Fire Zouaves and the
Michigan regiments moved ever there, and
the rebels fed. Then at Fairfax they had
sssotsd immense fortiioations, and planted
bstssries which EOuld sweep away our
troops, and there they we're to make their
grand stand But an army advanced
upon it day before yesterday, and the reb-
slssvac1ated precipiiately. So in the other
divisions. In Western Virginia, they took
possession Of The railroad from Grafton
coward Wheeling and we're to make a
grand stand a. Grafton; and yet gem
tassman at Grafton informed US, q few
weeks ago, that he never saw taller run
ming or more complete fear than there vas
there, when it was announced that the
"abOlitiOn army" we're coming down from
Wheeling. Then. at Philippi, at Laurel
hill, at BeelingtOn, and at Buckhsnnon,
they were to make grand standg; but
they didn't do it. In Johnson's division,
The style was thesa ne. He made " grand
ailad" at Harpsr's Ferry, and half dozen
other points, but from each one retreated
before Patterson fairly got at him. And
now We havs reports that after an the
boasts Of the desperate resistance to be
made at Manassas, sfter all the big batter
les there set up, the rebels havs prudenly
provided one hundred and fifty cars with
which to Zee to Richmond, where they VIII
make "grand stand1 certain sure. We
begin to despair of big battle, and shah
cork up the bottle Of red ink with which
we proposed 10 write the history of the
great saDguinsFy conflict.
