THE LATE BATTLES.

The following letter, which does justice to
two gallant oMcers who fought in the battle
Of the 18th, supplies an omission which was
by NO means intentional. It is gratifying to
publish any record Of personal bravery, and
we will continue to furnish our readers with
all facts a. soon rs they come into our pos
seesion
MANASSAS, July eth, 1901.
To the Editors Of the Dfspatch In the nu-
merous accounts of the recent glorious
achievements Of our army at manassas puo-
lished IN your paper, your correspondents AT .
often SO partial in their statements as to do
injustice to brave officers and men BY emitting
any men ton of their names. TINS Will no
doubt be rcmedied in tho cfhc1al reports
But. In the fight on Thursday at Bull Run,
in which the enemy in large numbers was
repulsed with heavy loss to them, by the
three Virginia Regiments under Longstreet,
there are two glaring instances OF omission
that should be corrected at once. Oaptaln
W. H. Dulaney, OF the Fairfax Rihts, and
Captain Il. II. Shackelford, of The Warren ton
Rifles, (the same that achieved fame At
Fairfax t-House when tho lamented
Mari fellJ are still lying disabled from
wounds received in that engagement. 1st
we have seen no mention made OF them and
the brave men they led into the conflict In
the commencement OF the hight Captain Du-
laney WAS seriously wounded, 80 as to be COM
PEELED to leave the field. Captain Shackel-
ford received a wound in the leg in the early
part of the Fight while in front cheering on
his gallant men to tho charge but without
retiring from the field, he bound up his
wounded limb with his handkerchief, and for
two or three hours stood BY tho side Of his
staunch boys till the battle had been won.
He then discovered that be was more disabled
than he had supposed. and had 10 be assisted
OF the field. This account has been furnished
by one of his men, who says that his gallant
bearing on the field inspired his company, one
and all, with determination TO stand till the
last man had fallen or victory won.
We are happy TO state, that both of these
officers will probably be again at their post
N short time, ready as before to meet tho
invaders Of our sOiI and drive them back.

Having had some opportunity of learning
particulars of, the battle of the 18th at Bull
Run. take the earliest opportunity of briefly
communica ting them to you. / believe they
approximate more nearly 10 the truth than
any that have yet been published. The state.
ment In the Enquirer does injustice to Gen.
Longstreet and the LIST Notwithstanding
ly, no doubt; but such misrepressn ia tions
ought TO be corrected. Gen Longstreet com
manded in person, and displayed a courage
ard n ilitary skill that astonished every one
No man exposed himself more. His smile and
commanding voice cheered the soldiers, .nd
i'm par ted life and vigor to our men.
the first battle at Bull Run was fought on
Thursday, as you are already aware On
"wednesday, the 4th Brig ide, commanded BY
General Longs treet, made a hasty march to
Bla csburn's Ford, on Rnll Run Greek The
LIST Regiment, under Col. Moore, crossed tn
thrown out strong picket, composed OF
companies B and X. The next morning the
regiment was ordered to re. cross the Run,
which we did. taking our position in 4 field
low table land-immedately to the right of
the Ford, and separated from the stream by a
narrow growth of trees The enemy advanced
and took the position which the LIST Regin en- {
occupied the previous evening. From an emil
rear of this field, they opened q heavy IRE
OF shot AID shell upon US from Sherman .
celebrated battery.
We could not observe their movements, but
~ was osoent tnat t0ey could see us, Judging
from their excellent range, and tho rapidity
OF their firing. directed chiefly at the Wash
ington Artillery, whose Battery Was about q
quarter OF D mile ia our rear After about
half an hours cannonading, their infantry
opened hFe upon US from hill, slcpin,,
gradually down 70 the edge OF the creex on
the opposite side. They were concealed from
our sight by ~ thick andergrowth, aud we
could only fire into the bushes In the direction
from which their hail Of bullets came, our
skirmlshsrs deploying along the tine and pick
