courier was overlaken by the Government mes
sengers, who reported that our army was in full
retreat towards Cenuevlle They were followed

the alarm among the transfers had communi-

strongly entrenched OH sarcey Hill with mask
ed battery of two guns.
On reaching the creek our men we're fired upon

The Retreat from Manassas,
Origi of the Panic in the Federal
Army.
the ORIGIN OF TIE PANIC.

WAsniSGroN, July 22.-The following is an
account Of the Inauguration of the panic which
has operated so disastrously to our troops. II
receives unusual interest from the SUBSEQUENT
events
All our military operations went on swimming
ly, and Col. Alexander was about erecting a
ponton across Bull Run; the enemy we're seem
ingy in retreat, and their batteries being IN
masked one after another when a terrific con-
sternaton broke out among the teamsters who
had incautiously advanced Immediately after the
body of the army lined the Warrenton road.
Their CONSERVATION was shared in by numer-
Gus civilians who were on the ground, and for n
time it seemed as ii the whole army was in
retreat.
Many baggage wagons were emptied of their
contents, and the horses galloped across the
open helds. AL the fences were torn down to
allow them more rapid retreat For a time
perfect panic prevailed, which communicated
itself to the vicinity Of Cenireyille, and every
asa IVY conveyance was seized upon by agita-
Inc wounded soldiers on tho roadside cried
Tor assistance, but the alarm was so great that
numbers were passed by
several similar alarms occurred on previous
occasions when n charge Of batteries rendered
necessary the retirement of the artillery on our
part, aud II is most probable that the alarm was
owing to the same fact.
The reserve force AT Centreyille was immed-
mteiy brought up and marched IN double quick
step in the following order:
