New YORK, July 10.
A special Washing ton dispatch to the Com.
mercial says information has been received at
the War Department that the Rebel batteries
at Bulls Run have been taken by our troops.
A special dispatch from Raymond to the
Times, says that our loss was 100 killed and
wounded. This will hasten the attack on
Manassas, which will doubtless be made to NOR
row. The Rebels had rihed cannon. They lost
but few meE.
A special Washington dispatch to the Irlb-
une states that the Secretary of War says there
were not more than SO killed and wounded,
among them captains and LieutonantS.-
From another source it is stated that the enc
my's works were carried by the Zouaves and the
Mass. 9Th moving on the flank.
There is no doubt that the enemy is now lall-
ing back, and the rumor that Manassas is occu-
pied by our troops is perhaps only little pre-
mature
A special dispatch to the Post, states that
advices from Richmond say that Gov. lIetcher

Gen. McDoWell's Advance.

The Federal forces under Gen Mcdowell are
advancing into Virginia between 10000 and
30 600 strong and though at first extending
from the Orange and Alexandria Railroad north
to Vienna, as they proceed they are convergipg
toward Manassas junction. One line of ad
vance is along the railroad, and in this column,
undcr the immediate command of Col. lIeintzle-
man. is Col. Howard brigade, in which the ID
Vermont Regiment has place. This brigade
Al the last intelligence had advanced, as long
ago as Wednesday last, to Sangstcr's Station
eighteen miles from Alexandria, and about ten
MeS from Manassas Junction. Since then we
have heard nothing from them, but they have
unqnes tionably proceeded still further along the
road. and must now be in the immediate vicni-
T. OF the Rebels.
Tie whole of Gen. McDowells command
must be advanced now at least twenty miles
into Virginia, and will very soon,--f it has
MT already compeIled,-compel the enemy to
.ll back from Manassas junction toward Rich
mOnd, or try the hazard Of battle on a large
sale at Manassas, at which place they are re-
ported to be in force, So 600 strong We do
not yet believe that the Rebels will abandon
this position without desperate battle, in com
parison with which the engagement at Bulls
Run is onlya preliminary skirmish. Of course
We have no doubt of the result of such battle
il will carry the Stars and Stripes onward toward
Richmond. But if a general engagement
should occur here it must bring with it much of
the horrors of war. Our brave troops are prepar
ed for it, however, and will fight resolutely in
their Country's cause, and those who fall on
the stricken fields of this war will die in de-
fence Of the Flag that represents the last hope
OF free government to the world Here as we'll

painful anxiety to hear the next news from G en-

A PET LAMB AsToNlsHEs THE SEcEssroN1srs $3.50
The Richmond papers tell of Fire Zouave who
was caught and taken to Fairfax. When car
ried before Beauregard, he manifested his con-
tempt for that cheftain by putting his thumb
to his nose and gyrating with his fingers. Be-
ing ordered under confinement he turned about
suddenly, kicked Colonel who stood near in
the stomach So hard that he sat down, knocked
the Corporal who had him in charge head over
heels, and invited Beauregard to g come on and
get lammed,' declaring that . if he didn t
have muss he'd spile." Finding none of the
surprised lockers on started to meet him, he
took to his heels down lane. Several shots
were fired at him without effect. At each sue
cessive discharge he would turn to make grim
aces at his pursuers, or jump high in air and
yell as if struck. Suddenly Lieutenant with
a drawn sword sprang before him from an adj
jacent building. S-a-a y, what are ye about,
a hitting that thing at me-" exclaimed the
Zouavc. ''Dont yer know yer might cut my
bran new weskit?'' Being marched off to jail
and put in solitary cell, lie sgnalized his first
evening lodgment there by setting it on fire.
The Rebels seem to admire the cool audacity of
the chap, and Beauregard laughed heartily at
his pranks

The Battle at Bulls Run.

The teegraphc news respecting the engage
mcnt between the Federal troops and the Rebels
at Bulls Run, Va, the 18th, are so conflicting
that it is not easy to come at the real state OF
facts. AS nearly, however, as we can judge at
this writing, they are as follows
Bulls Run is situated about half way between
Fairfax Station and Manassas junction, north
of the Orange and alexandria Railroad and
about four miles south of Centrevllle on the road
to Manassas, and three miles from the latter
place. The division under Gen. Tyler was about
10000 strong. but much the greater portion of
this force remained in the vicinity Of Centre
vile. Three companies of Massachusetts troops,
forming accommodating party under Col. Rich
ardson were first engaged, assisted by Sherman S
battery. The horses of this battery were, how
battery withdrew from the action, the Massa-
chusctts companies sustaining the fight until
they were relieved by the Michigan I'd and the
N Y. 18th Regiments, witha company of cavalry.
The Rebels had battery of eight guns com
handing the road beside several other batteries
which they used with destructive effect upon
our troops. The Rebel force is supposed to have
been as large as 5000 during the latter part of
the engagement, as they received reinforce
ment of five Regiments from Manassas during
the day. Only about 1000 of our troops were
at any one time actually engaged The battle
lasted five hours, and according to what APP
pears to be the most authentic news had no de-
cided result, except that the Rebels maintained
their position. Our loss must have been nearly
or quite 100 killed and wounded the heaviest
blow falling upon the Massachusetts troops
AT night, after the firing ceased, brigade un-
der Gen. Schenck was dispatched to flank the
enemys batteries. and we expect to hear as the
next news that the Rebels have either abandoned
their POSITION or that 1t has been carried by
our troops.

The Battle at Bulls Run Official Repor


Washington. July 10. Col McCernand Of
the House of Representatives, left headquarters
at Centrevie at clock this morning, bring
ing the official report of the battle at Bulls
Run. He arrived here this afternoon.
Last night after the firing had ceased, Gen.
Schenck S brigade proceeded up the GAINESVILLE
road with view to flank the position OF the
three most prominent batteries, which had
opened on our troops.
negro came into headquarters from the en-
emys camp, representing himself to be Il SER
want of Col. Fontaine, who he says was killed
together with a large number of the enemy
The Confederates who fought the Federals at the
Kun, are those who were driven back from va
rious places between Fairfax Court House and
Cen,revile, in addition to a reinforcement of
five reg iments which were brought up from Ma
nassas during the action which continued about
five hours.
Despite the various rumOrs, the condition of
affairs at the close of yesterday may be cbarac-
terized as drawn battle, there being no dec-
ded result.
The Confederates during the battle, were al
together concealed by the woods, ravines and
entrenchments, from which they directed their
fires.
Col. Netherlands belief is, from what he
ascrrtained at the seat of war, that the Con-
tederates. yesterday, had upwards of $4,000
naen az the junction, or where they could be
easily concentrated.

Rebel prisoner and drove three more INTO the
hands of party of the 5th Maine Boys who
were ont scouting near Fairfax Court House. The
prisoners say they belonged to the 5th Alabama
Reg iment. They ran from the Zouaves to the
Maine Boys, prelering to be prisoners in their
hands, as they expected nothing but death if
taken by the former.

we came here, and if we were obliged to remain
inactive, for one, should be loath to leave this

suit, although we expect something of IA brush.

left there yesterday, states that he had already
commenced the line of march toward Winches-

great circumspection.
