THE GTEAT HaTrEE AT WANAs-
EaR.


We publish this morning the latest informa-
ton received by mail and telegraph in regard
to the result Of The recent great battle at Ma
nassas. Some days must elaPse yet before
full returns Of the killed and wounded can be
published, and until this is done the public
suspense and anxiety cannot be allayed. The
battle was very desperate and holly contested,
extending over q space Of eight miles. The
dsv succeeding that on which the battle was
fought, it rained heavily and necessarily from
G2,light to dark. This added greatly to the
difficulty OF collecting and caring for the
wounded, and the sad task Of burying the
dead was no fairly entered upon till Tuesday.
The Geld was so extended that the confusion
uRavoidabIy incident to a battle was greatly
increased, and those who left the scene Of ac-
ton Tuesday, say that hundreds who were at
first supposed to have fallen, have since re-
turned to the ranks from which they were
temporarily separated. # is not to be ex-
pected, therefore, that accurate muster rolls
could be made out for some days after the
fght. We have 10 doubt the authorities are
using all diligence to furnish reliable informa-
ton TO the country, and that in a few days
the anxiety Of those whose friends were en-
gagged, will be relieved as to their fate. In the
meantime, we must possess ourselves with pa
tiencs, resting under the assurance that oil
which kindness and at ention can do to relieve
the sufsrings Of the wounded, has been done
while those who have fallen in this glorious
contest are beyond the reach Of want or suf-
fering. They sleep

they are deficient. In the fourth Alabama

Resoived, That the committee on finance be

once comforting upon the Government Of the
Confederate States the power to control the
cotton and tobacco crops Of the country by re-
ceiving whatever supplies in kiRd or by pur-
chase from individuals, at a price fixed, or by

The Richmond Examiner gives the follow
ing interesting incident. After describing the
progress of the fight, it says:
Troops were rapidly moving from the right
and center to the relief OF the left, and BY 3
O'Clock, 5000 Of our men were there in
the furious action against $4,000 Of the enc
my. At that hour General Kirby Smiths
brigade arrived on the railroad from Win
chester to Manassas Junction, a. a point
within two miles Of Stone Bridge. See
ing the violence Of the contest there,
this general stopped the cars, and, dismount-
ing bis men, marched straight on the enemy,
without orders, and without g ing to the
Junction, thereby saving a Gve-mi'e march.
Gen. Beauregard did not at FIRST recognize this
brigade, and believed it a 1ank movement Of

Scrofula. or Kings Evil.

= constitutional disease, q corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
Peryades the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease on any part of it. No organ is free
nom its attacks nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending I" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation {" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, II
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubereles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupton, which genders in the blood, deprssses
the energies Of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined BY it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
