NEW YORK, July %.
A spectator of the battle of Bulls Run
says, that the single cause of the panic was
charge by large body of cavalry among
transfers and struggling soldiers, who were
in the rear of our main forces, between the
Run and Centrevlle. When General
Mcdowell found that the reserve was on
the retreat, it was too late to counterfeit
the mistake, and then commanded the main
body to fall back, which it did quietly and
in good order. The men who had been
fighting all day without water and food
were in a state of complete exhaustion.
A spectator, an Englishman, who was
present at all the Crimean battles, says
their fighing had been of the most splendid
kind. Such charges as the Fire Zouaves
and the Goth Irish regiment made be had not
seen at Inkermann or Alma.
The following dispatch from the Secre-
tary of War has just been received by the
Union Defence Committee of this city,
dated Washington, %:
Ia reply to the telegram, will say cheer our
friends to active eXertions that we may speed
lily retrieve our misfortune. We are making

bank of The Potomac are being well manned.
The capital is safe.

The enemy were very industriously en-.
gagged in picking up knapsacks, canteens,
&C., on the road. No prospects of the reb-
