The barbarities practiced by the Rebels at the
battle Of Bulls Run, were unparalleled A pri.
vate of the LIST Conn. regiment found wound
ed rebel. lying in the sun, carried him gent
ly to the shade and gave him drink from his
canteen.! The rebel revived and deliberately
shot his benefactor!
Another instance where number of our woun-

liberately fred upon by rebel cavaliers. - 4
The Michigan Regiments at one time marched
up W VI Iuc HEAVIEST Oh the HeDel batteries
which had been several tines unsuccessfu,ly
charged by the New York Fire Zouaves. They
were subjected to terrible fire by artillery and
rifles. They, as well as the Zouaves were with.
out support, and after three Intellectual attempts
!; were compelled to abandon the effort to take
the battery. In this charge Col. Wilcox, who
is reported wounded and taken prisoner, was re-
ported killed. The total number of killed in the
regiment is estimated at 40. 1t is the general
opinion OF nearly all the officers that the loss of
the enemy is nearly twice as great as ours.

Ter is in the city tonight. He says be knows
nothing about the Federal troops throwing up
entertainments at Centreyille.

Capt. Seymour of Anderson's command in
Sumter, was actively engaged yesterday in dis
posing the artillery in the defensive works in
Virginia to. the best advantage. Several fresh
Regiments were posted in the entertainments
lying on their arms all night, but nothing seen
Of the Rebels who have not ventured beyond
Ceiitreville. gH
1t is reported to-day that the Rebels are eva.
cuatng Manassas and moving towards Rich
mond. About noon long trains Of baggage wa
gems were seen going towards Manassas from
the enemies lines, showing that they were at
that time preparing for a backward movement
WASHINGTON July 24.-The Intelligencer this
morning says: We learn that two intelligent
officers in Elsworth's Zouaves, arrived here
last night One Of whom left Centrevilled at 4
p. m, the ether Fairfax Court House, l2m-
They both report that up to that time, at these
respective points, no rebel forces had appeared.
A fact which would seem sufficiently to indicate
that 1t is no part of their purpose to undertake
anything like ali advance towards Washington.
Affairs wear more cheerful aspect to-day
Fresh troops are corainually arriving. Baggage
wagons and Commissariat's supplies seem to be
as plentiful as heretofore. and altogether there
\ is a gathering up of army fragments
In the present confused condition of affairs,
it is impossible to procure full lists of the xii.
led and wounded. There cannot yet be any of.
fetal report giving the information. The names
OF such, however, as can be reliably ascertaned
are transmitted as soon as received.
