New York, Aug, 2O.-Russell's letter says
the repulse at the Manassas, decided as 1T
was, might have had no serious effect, but

cradle. causeless panic. Such scandalous
conduct on the part of soldiers l considered

put her best men in battle, or she will inevi-
tably fail before the energy and superior
fighting powers of her antagonists.
