He was shot at the first onset. The whole Of
our forces on the left were now rallied. They
sent missiles of every conceivable kind into
the thickest of the Hessian columns. Next
came ..clarge 5ayonas.u A thousand souls
nerved each arm. Wheat's Tigers threw
away their guns and rushed upon solid col
umn of II or $1,000, telling them right and
left, tossing their bayonets aside and coming at
once to the meat and marrow of the business.
Our men bounded forward with yells and
shouts. The Hessians could not stand our
"cold steel." Our st6ei. and shouts went to
their very bones. They shrieked like madmen;
broke ranks; threw away their weapons,
coats, cartridge boxes, everything that i'm
peded the run which they now commenced.
1t spread to the whole army, and to the wo-
men, aud chicken hearted Senators and Con-
gressmen, and lying reporters of the North
ern press, who had come out to see us whip
ped and subjugated. They went back in all
directions and in every fashion. They left
enough on the field aud on the roadside to
sustain an army of threefourths their num-
beers for twelve months. From my own OBJ
servation, and from what can learn from re-
liable sources, there were from 3 to 5000 of
the enemy left dead on the field, aud a fourth
of that number on the different routes of
their retreat. They had nearly 5000 wound
ed. and the same number of prisoners left ON
our hands. Our loss in killed did not exceed
400, and wounded not more than 800. AS
to numbers | am satisfied that we had not
more than 20,0J0 in action during the day,
and that they had from so to 60, 900, consti-
tuting the best drilled and equipped army
they could bring to the field.
Portions of the principal regiments en-
gagged on our side were, the End, 4th, 9Th,
9Th, Sth, 11th, 18Th, 10Th, 9th, and 18th, Vir-
ginia; 4th and 9Th, Alabama; End, 18th and
9Th Georgia; 2nd. 18th, I1th and 18th Missis-
sippi; End, 3rd, 4th, 5th, It'll and 9Th South
Carolina; 5th and 9th North Carolina; 3rd
Tennessee; 9TH Louisiana and Wheat's Bat
tallion; Hampton's IS. CO. Legion; and Rad
ford's Virginia Battalion; besides our artil-
lery and Cavalry. Very probably | have
omitted others that were conspicuous on that
day, but have no memoranda of them.
The vandalism of the Hessians ON the way
to Manassas was signal. They destroyed ev-
cry thing of any value to the citizens. They
every principle of humanity and
religion. The country is one vast ruin from
Bull Run to Manassa. ! am spending this
day with family who have just returned to
their home to find it only wreck.
Their wounded still occupy our churches
and houses by the-way. Two of their physi-
clans, taken as prisoners, were stationed at
Centreville on parole of honor, to attend
their wounded aud dying. AMI the cowardly
and heartless wretches deserted them and
fed. They were recaptured, however, and
sent to Richmond.

Public Sympathy In the West Indies.

To the Editor of the Charleston Mercury:
SIR: The Northern press, in order to dis
engage, if possible, the Lincoln Government
from the fearful position in which it has
placed itself towards the South and several
European powers, is makiEg desperate efforts,
first. to enlist in its behalf the prejudces of
France as against England; and, second,
threateHs Spain with the loss of Cuba. Now,
sir, the enemies of our peace and of our do
nestle institutions-the Abolition host-are
utterly deceived if they ever expect any re-
spectacle portion of the Cuban people to side
with them in the Ubiquitous war they are
waging against our homes and our rights as
freemen. Far from doing SO, the people of
the West Indies would hail with pleasure the
re-establishment of Southern institutions in
all those islands which, prior to the birth of
Aoolitionism, were ruled by European ma
tions.
am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient
servant, A j. GONZALES.

Further Particulars ofNeIson,s
Arrest.

ge learn from undoudted authority, only
a few moments before our paper goes TO press,
that there is no remaining a0aa as 10 Nelson's
arrest. He was arrested in Virginia by Vir-
o::,,ians. under the authority of that State.
Mans containing careful aud accurate de-
Iiueatiou OF all the mountain passes in East
Tennessee, from Chattanooga to Bristol, were
found in bis possession. This is no sensation
;tem. II il now knos0B to be true. Had be
sueceeded in passing through Virginia and
rescsing Washington, the authorities there
would have been put in possession of full
and accurate statement OF our strong and
weak points In East q. ie Gnmhsrland u rsncs
would have become known 20 Scott and the
Federal army. His arrest does seem ike
timely interpretation of Divine Providence, az
il may yet save East Tennessee from being
dreucbed with the blood of our own citizens,
and prevent our soil from becoming the
arena Of strife between the Northern and

something Rich!

Simon Cameron, Secretary of War of the
United States, has been singularly exercised
about the body of his deceased brother, Col.
Cameron, of the New York volunteers, killed
at Manassa. Actuated by silly pride about
addressing Gen. Johnston on the subject in
the latter's proper official capacity, just as
the British authorities were towards our
Washington, he has resorted to every device
to secure this object. Some are already
known to be public. A day or two ago, a
flag of truce came to our pickets and sent in
the following to Col. ]. E. B. Stuart, of the
Cavalry, commanding at Fairfax Court
House:
WAR DEPARTMENT.
July Both, 1861,
The bearers Messrs. German, of Baltimore,
Apologize and Sterling, visit Richmond for
the single purpose Of obtaining the remains
of the late Col Cameron.
All United States troops will show them
the utmost courtesy and protection going
and returning. SIMON CAMERON,
Secretary OF War.
Col. Stuart returned the communication
with the following endorsement:
HEADQUARTERS, FAIRFAX, C. H.,
August 2, 1861
The within communication has been sent
me, but being addressed ito sohom ii naay con-
eern,v is returned for the reason that is OBJ
ject does not concern me, nor any one else
that am aware OF, in the Confederate States
of America. ]. E. B. STUART.
Colonel LIST Cavalry, Commanding.
The gentlemen were also informed that
Gen. Johnston, when properly addressed on
the subject, would give any aid in his power
for the recovery of Colonel C's. remains.-

ture of the United States steamer Crusader

Powder and Lead in North CaroIIns

We learn from the Raleigh Journal that
Gov. Clark recently ordered Prof. Emmons
on an exploring tour, with view to aseer-
tain whether and where supply of lead and
the essential elements of powder, suited to
the present exigencies, could be obtained;
and the result is most cheering. Professor
Emmons reports, that he is fully satisfied that
enough of these munitions of war can be OBJ
tanned to shoot all the Yankees and tyrants
in the world. In view of this, 80 satisfactory
are the prospects that company has already
commenced, or will soon commence the cree
ton of a powder mill at suitable point in
North Carolina, Gov. Clark having contract
ed for large quantity of powder at a fixed
price.-Rich. Eng 9M.
