The Cincinnati Weekly Press
Having passed into new hands, its present
conductors have determined to reduce its
subscription price to such a rate, to clubs
that the poorest person in the land need not
be without paper.
The PRESS shall not be surpassed by any
Weekly Journal in the West, either in its
News or Literary Department. We are
determined that it shall be a faithful epitome
of the current events of the day, and that
what is not found in its columns will scarce
be worth looking for. Of course, we do not
expect to give elaborate articles on each
event of the day, but the reader may look
for a succint and intelligent account of every
transpiring event.
Particular attention will be given to a
faithful record of the absorbing topic OF
the day,

or four little stores and groceries, and quite a
number of log huts, situated just above steep

acknowledge that l felt lost in amazement al
such change, and to my greatest astonish
ment fou nd that my old and much esteemed

Adam Ogilvic near his old stand, with much
less change in his appearance than his tene
ment. Also, Pliny Fay, but very little olde,

WAR PAN1cs.-The panic at Centerville il
not novelty in warfare. The best disciplin-
ed troops Of Europe have been guilty of them
far less excusably than our men in Virginia.
Such was the famous flight of French and
Sandman troops from Castiglione to Brescia,
the day after the great battle of Solferino.
There the successful soldiers were resting
from the fatgues of the fight, when five Aus
TRANS who had been hidden in the bushes
came out into the .open field to surrender
themselves. Instantly the cry of the Aus
TRANS are coming!' was raised. From that
simple incident arose panic. For seventeen
miles, all the way to Brescia, the road was
filed with flying mass of horse and foot;
wagons and ambulances were emptied of their
and everybody seemed beside them
selves with terror. Some fifteen thousand
men were engaged in this panic, and the loss
# life from it was very considerable.-N. Y,

Southern Accounts Of the Battle
at Manassas.
JEFF. DAVIS OFFICIAL DISPATCH

LOUISVILLE, July ga special Richmond
dispatch to the Charleston Nercury on the
23d, says so soon as it became evident that
the enemy meant to give battle on Sunday,
President Davis fastened to the scene of ac-
ton, arriving in time to take part in the bat
tie, and Immediately assumed command of the
center. Beauregard commanded the right
wing and johnson the left. 1t was against
Johnson's command that the enemy concen-
trated their best troops and fought most OBJ
stinately. At one time our left was pressed
so severely that the issue of the conflict in
that direction seemed doubtful. 1t was here
that Barton's Georgia regiment was posted,
and which was so terribly cut up. A large
body of our troops from the centre was sent
at this critical moment to the assistance of
johnson and t. rned the tide of battle. The
enemy broke and fled before the impetuous
charges of the Southerners, and the battle
soon became a rout.
The latest from Richmond, 22d, SAYS Con-
gress met at noon, and, after prayer had been
offered, the following dispatch was read before
that body:
Manassas junction, Sunday Night-The
night has closed upon hard fought field
Our forces won glorious victory The enc
enemy was routed and fled precpitately.
abandoning a large amount of arms, ammuni-
ton, knapsacks and baggage. The ground
is strewn for miles with those killed, and farm
houses and grounds around are filled with
the wounded. The pursuit was continued
along several routes towards Leesburg and
Centreville, until darkness covered the fug- |
tives. We have captured several field bat
teries and regimental stand of arms, and one
United States flag. Many prisoners have been
taken. Too high praise cannot be bestowed
whether for the skill of the principal officers
or ofthe gallantry ofall our troops. The battle
was mainly fought on the left. Our force was
$4,000; that of the enemy estimated at 5000
Signed, JEFF DAVIS"
Another dispatch says the entire Confeder-
ate force was about 10000, and the United
States force near 10000 No particulars are
received of the dead az wounded, L. NJ.
