turn our left flank, and to reach the railroad
leading hence ia the direction of Winchester.
To do this, he extended his lines, which he
was enabled to do by reason of his great num-
bers. This was unfortunate for US, as it re-
quired corresponding extension of our own
lines to prevent his extreme right from out
f1anking us-a movement on our part which
weakened the force of our resistance along
the whole line OF battle, which finally extend
ed over q space of two miles. 1t also render
ed it the more difficult to bring up reinforce
ments, as the further the enemy extended his
right, the greater the distance our reserve
forces had to travel to counteract the move
ment.
This effort to turn our flank was pressed
with great determination for five hong, weary
hours, during which the tide of battle ebbed
and flowed along the entire line with alter
nate fortunes The enemy's column contin-
ued to stretch away to the left, like huge
anaconda, seeking to envelope US within its
mighty folds and crush US TO death; and at
one time it really looked as if he would
succeed.
The moment he discovered the enemy's Or
der of battle, Gen. Beauregard, it is said, dis
patched orders to Gen. Ewell, on our ex-
treme right, to move forward and turn his
left or rear. At the same time he ordered
Generals Jones, Longstreet and Bnoham, &C.
cupying the centre of our lines, to cooperate
in this movement, but not to move until Gen.
Ewell had made the attack. The order to
Gen. Ewell unfortunately miscarried. The
others were delivered, .but as the movements
of the centre we're to be regulated entirely
by those on the right, nothing was done al
all. Had the orders to Gen. Egell been re-
ceived and carried out, and our entire force
brought upon the field, we should have de-
stroyed the enemy's army almost literally
Attacked in the front, on the flank, and in
the rear, he could not possibly have escaped,

On Sunday, the 2lst day of Jnly, 1861.
this great battle was fought, and great vic
tory won by the Confederate troops. Heaven
smiled on our arms, and the God of battles
crowned our banners with laurels of glory.
Gen. Johnston had arrived the preceding
day with about half of the force he had de-
tailed from Winchester, and was the senior
officer in command. He magnanimously in
sisted, however. that Gen. Besuregard's pre-
vious plan should be carried out, and he was
guided entirely by the judgment and superior
local knowledge of the latter. While, there
fore, Gen. Johnston was nominally in COM
mand. Beauregard was really the officer and
hero of thetday.
At half-p six in the morning the enemy
opened fire from a battery planted on a hill
beyond Bull Run, and nearly opposite the
centre of our lines. The battery was intend
ed merely to "beat the bush," and to occupy
our attention, while he moved heavy col
umn towards the Stone Bridge, over the
same creek, upon our left. At ten O'clock
another battery was pushed forward, and
opened fire short distance to the left of the
other, and near the road leading North to
CentreVille. This was a battery of rified
guns, and the object of it's fire was the same
as that of the other. They fired promiscu-
ously into the woods and gorges on this, the
Southern, side of Bull Run, seeking to create
the impression thereby that our centre would
be attacked, and thus prevent US from send
ing reinforcements to our left, where the real
attack was to be made. Beauregard was not
deceived by the maneuVre.
1t might not be amiss to say that Bull Run
or creek is North of this place, and runs
nearly due East, curving around the juno
ton, the nearest part of which is about 81
miles. The Stone Bridge is some seven miles
distant, in Northwesterly direction, upon
which our left wing rested. Mitchel's ford is
directly North, and distant four miles, by the

| except at the loss of thousands of prisoners
and all his batteries, while the field would
have been strewn with his dead.
| Finding that his orders had in some way
failed to be executed, Gen. Beauregard at
last ordered up a portion of the forces which
were intended to cooperate with Gen. Ewell.
| 1t was late, however, before these reinforce
ments came up. Only one brigade reached
] the field before the battle was won. This
was led by Gen. E. K. Smith, of Florida, for
merly of the United States Army, and was
part of Gen. Johnston's column from Win
chester. They should have reached here the
| day before, but were prevented by an accl-
dent on the railroad. They dashed on the
charge with loud shouts and in the most gal
liant style. About the same time, Maj. Elzey
formerly of the Augusta Arsenal looming
, down the railroad from Winchester with the
| last of Johnson's brigades, and hearing the
firing, Immediately quit the train and struck
| across the country, and, as gracious for
tune would have it, he encountered the ex-
treme right of the enemy as he was feeling
his way around our flank, and with his brig
ade struck him like a thunder-bolt, full in the
face. Finding he was about to be out-hanked
himself, the enemy gave way after the second
fire. Meanwhile, Beauregard rallied the CEN
tire and dashed into the very thickest of the
fight, and after him rushed our own brave
boys, with shout that seemed to shake the
very earth. The result of this movement
from three distinct points, was to force back
the enemy, who began to retreat, first in good
order, and finally in much confusion. At
this point, the cavalry were ordered upon the
pursuit. The retreat now became perfect
rout, and it is reported that the flying le-
gions rushed past Centreville in the direction
of Fairfax, as if the earth had been opening
behind them. 1t vas when Gen. Beauregard
led the final charge, that his horse was killed
by shell.

Orr MUy1c1P.L AFF.rRs-In the midst of

Our MUNICIPAL AFFAIRs.-In the midst of
war, and the general arrangement of bust
ness consequent thereupon, our strictly mu-
nicipal affairs, under the faithful and ener-
getic management of Mayor CHEATHAM, pur-
sue the even tenor of their way. All the de-
partments of the city government bear testi-
mony to the industry and fidelity of his adj
ministration. The quiet and good order of
the city is equal to the most peaceful times
of the past. The police have shown their
wakefuiness to the demands OF the occasion
by increased diligence to the welfare OF the
city, while the Mayor has prosecuted all ne
ceseary improvements. He has had unusual
counter, springing not only from the extra
ordinary condition of the country, but from
his duties as trusted servant of the people
as a member of the Legislature. He has met
and discharged these duties with the utmost
alacrity and firmness, and we may add with
entire satisfaction to the public. Whilst he
has decreased the current expenses of the
city, he has not diminished the comforts and
conVeniences of well-managed city govern
ment. We bear this voluntary testimony 10
the fidelity and efficiency of Mayor CHEAT
Fam, that We may express our qualification at
the fact, which we announce this morning,
that, at the instance of the people of the
city, he consents to serve them another
year We believe that he should be re-elect-
ed by reclamation, and trust that he will
have no opposition.
Let now the people select the most relia-
BILE and Trustworthy men to represent them
in each Ward, and they need to have no fears
as to the proper management of our munich
pal affairs for the next year to come.

( road leading to Centreville, which is seven
miles from the Junction. On our right is
| Union Mills, on the same stream, where the
| Alexandria and Manassas railroad crosses the
Run, and distant four miles. Proceeding
from Fairfax Court House. by Centreviile, to
Stone Bridge, the enemy passed in front OF
our entire line, but at q distance ranging
] from five to two miles.
At 9 o'clock our left under Brigadier Gen
erals Evans, Jackson and Cooke, and Col.
Barlow, with the Georgia Brigade. composed
| of the 9TH and 9Th regiments, had been put in
motion. and was adv ancing upon the enemy
with a force of about 5000, while the enemy
himself was advancing upon our left with a
compact column of at least 80, 600. These
approaching columns encountered each other
at IL O'Clock.
Meanwhile, the two batteries in front kept
up their fire upon the wooded hills where they
supposed our centre lay. At quarter past
IL, Johnston and Beauregard galloped rapid
ly forward in the direction of Stone Bridge,
where the ball had now fully opened.
The artillery were the first to open fire, pre-
cisely at IL o'clock By halfpast IL, the in
fantry had engaged and there it was that the
battle began to rage. The dusky columns
which had thus far marked the approach of
the two armies, now mingled with great
clouds of smoke, as it rose from the flashing
guns below, and the two shot up together
like huge pyramid of red and blue. The
shock was as tremendous as were the odds
between the two forces. With what anxious
hearts was watched that pyramid of smoke
and dust When it moved to the right, we
knew the enemy were giving way; and when
it moved to the left, we knew that our friends
were receding. Twice the pyramids moved
to the right, and as often returned. At last,
about 2 o'clock, it began to move slowly to
the left, and thus it continued to move for two
mortal hours. The enemy was seeking to
