On Sunday. the 2lst day of Jniy. 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
othcer in command He magnanimously in
sisted, however, that Gen. Beauregard'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 Gf thesday.
AT haif-past six in the morning the enemy
opened fire from battery planted on a hill
beyond Buh Run, andsnearIy opposite the
centre OF our lines. The battery was intend.
ed merely to 'beat the busb,'' and to occupv
our attention. while he moved a 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 Il short DISTANCE to the left of the |
other, and near the road leading North to
CentrevIlle. This was a battery of rifed
guns. and the object of IFS fire was the same
as that of the other. They fired promiscu-
ouslS into the woods and gorges on this. the /
Southern, side OF Bull Run, seeking to create
lhe impression thereby that our centre would
be attacked, and thus prevent US from send
ng relnforcements to our left, where the real
attack was to be made. Beauregard was not
Ieceived by the maneuYre.

it was late, however, before these reinforce

the iield before the battle was won. This

merry OF the United States Army. and was
part OF Gen. Johnston's column from Win

New RIVER, April 4, 1861.

NEW RIVER, ApTIl i, IoOl.
Mr.. d. Z. GORDON- Dear Sr;-The present
influx of miners at this early season Of the year
rather tends to verify the assertion that the hu-
man family is composed of two classes, namely,
the Gulls" and g Gullibes" | do not wish to
imply, however, that the present immigration
have been guled, but | blame them for their
precipitancy. That there is gold in paying guam
titles on this river and its tribut tares is beyond
the cavil of doubt but in justice to my fellow
miners, wish them to know that the present
season is unfav vorable for prospecting or working
claims on any part of this stream, owing to the
high stage of water; besides the merchants have
not yet received their principal supplies, cOnse
quently there is great scarcity of every species
of mining and cooking implements, aud | am
much afraid, should the present immigration
continue, we shall have to add 10 the above cata-
logue of wants-provisions
l would therefore recommend those who are
not prepared to purchase claims now open, to
postpone their visit until the middle of next
month, at which time the merchants will be able
TO supply their wants, and they will have better
opportunity Of prospecting to advantage.
