How To GUARD AGAINST THE HEAT.-As
the heat of a Southern sun is one of the hard
ships our boys will have to encounter, per-
NIT an old soldier to state in what way the
French army in Algiers guard themselves
during the day when on the march or stand
ing sentry: Take a yard of thin, white fan
mel, fold it together once, and sew up one
end; ribbon or tape may be inserted to
draw it around the neck. This thrown over
the cap or shake, and falling behind, COM
pletely shields the head and shoulders from
the rays OF the sun. Wooden is preferable to
linen or cotton, is equally light, costs less
than the former, and is easier washed and
kept clean.

THE SEVENTH REGMENT.-One of the men,
bers of the New York Seventh Regiment
reached this city on Saturday afternoon, en-
route for his home. He stated that when
they offered their services TO the Govern
ment, it was for the defense of the capital,
and not to engage in warfare against State
or States. Fifty of the members refused to
take the oath after reaching Washington,
and the remainder took it conditionally that
they were not to be called on to go out of
the District of Columbia. The gentleman
who came to this city says that the feelings
of the regiment towards the people of Balti-
more are of the kindliest character, and they
would not be induced to invade the soil of
Maryland, or of the South, for hostile pur-
pose. Several of the members of the regi-
ment are natives of Baltimore. and the re-
spect of the whole body for Baltimore is very
strong.-Bdltimore Sun.

FRIDAY, MAY 3. 1851
The Louisville Journal, of Wednesday con.

The Louisville Journal, of Wednesday con-
tains, in an obscure part of the paper, let
ter from DIR. W. R. HURLEY, dated at Wash
ington City on the Esd ult.. with an encIo-
sure of a memorandum" from the hands of
Mr. G. NJ. CLAY, from which it would appear
that DIR. 81. and NJ. G. have undertaken to
save the Union. However earnest and sincere
may be the motives which impel the former,
it is tolerably clear that in the selection of
the latter as an fundamentally, he is most
unfortunate. 1t is known to everybody that
Mr.. c. NJ. CLAY's antecedents of public
character are mainly confined to a cordial
and active opposition to the Institutions of
the South. He is thoroughly identified with
tbs anti-slavery movement in this country,
and with the origin, progress and success of
the anti-slayery party, as well as with the
war which has been inaugurated to subjugate
the South in violation of the Constitution,
and to make the Chicago platform the para
mount rule in the public administration of the
government. His superior claims in this be-
half have associated his name prominently
with the position of Major General in the
army of subjugation. In choosing such an
instrument, DR.. a. certainly permitted his
zeal to outstrip his wisdom. The memo
randum" is as follows:

rotary of State of the Confederate States, a

courtesy and kind feeling which prompt the
act was duly appreciated, and in return, a
copy of President Davis, proclamation in re-
ference to privateering has been forwarded

Brigadier General WEBB, of the N. Y

Courier and Enquirer, says.
While Virginia and the traitors of the
Gulf are to be closely watched, the only
course for Maryland, through her Legisla-
ture, is to come out flat-footed for the Union,
or expect to be treated at once as an enemy,
which will be taken in hand Immediately.
Neutrality in this contest will not do, for
such neutrality is but the masked highway
man of treason and rebellion, just such a
masked highwayman as Secession rejoices to
see spring up. For the Union or against it,
is the only watchword!-For it, and over you
shall be thrown the shield of the Union;
against it, and before you is its sword. 1t
has come to this: Treason has brought such
an alternative, and the Government of the
United States must accept it or sink forever.
And what we say to Maryland, we say to
Tennesree, Kentucky, and Missouri. As for
little Delaware, We congratulate her on her
loyalty.

me that in the prayer of Mr.. Wise, who is an
Episcopalian, he left out the President, when
Mr. Drexel, one of the leading members, rose
and demanded that he should repeat the
prayer correctly, which the clergyman re-
fused to do. He was then compelled to leave

road leading to Centrevile, which is seven
miles from the Junction. On our right is
Union Mills, on the same stream, where the
Alexandria and Manassas railroad crosses the
Run, and distant four miles. Proceeding
from Fairfax Court House. by Centreviile, to
Stone Bridge, the enemy passed in front OF
our entire line. but at distance ranging
from five to two miles.
At 9 O'Clock our left under Brigadier Gen.
erals Evans, Jackson and Cooke, and Col.
Barlow, with the Georgia Brigade. composed
of the 9TH and 8th regiments, had been put in
motion. and was advancing upon the enemy
with force of about Is, 900, while the enemy
himself was advancing upon our LETT with a
compact column of at least 100000 These
approaching columns encountered each other
at III O'Clock.
Meanwhile, the two batteries in front kept
up their fire upon the wooded bills where they
supposed our centre lay. At quarter past
II, Johnston and Beauregard galloped rapid
ly forward in the direction of Stone Bridge,
where the ball had now fully opened.
The artillery were the first to open fire, pre-
cisely at IL O'Clock. By halfpast IL, the in
fantry had engaged and there it was that the
battle began to rage. The dusky columns
which had tins far marked the approach of
the two armies, now mingled with great
clouds of smoke, as it rose from the flashing
guns below, auu the tWO snOL up toSe5ner
like huge pyramid of red and blue. The
shock was as tremendous as were the odds
between the two forces. With what anxious
hearts was watched that pyramid of smoke
and dust When it moved to the right, we
knew the enemy were giving way; and when
it moved to the left, we knew that our friends
were receding. Twice the pyramids moved
to the right, and as often returned. At last,
about o'clock, it began to move slowly to
the left, and thus it continued to move for two
mortal hours. The enemy was seeking to

turn our left flank. end to reach the railroad
leading hence ia the direction Of Winchester
To do this, he extended his lines, which he
was enabled to do by reason of his great num-
bers. This was unfortunate tor US, as it re-
quired a corresponding extension of our own
lines to prevent his extreme right from out
hanking us-a movement on our part which
weakened the force of our resistance along
the whole line of battle, which finally extend
ed over a space of two miles. 1t also render
ed it the more difficult to bring up reinforce
nents, as the further the enemy EXTENDED his
right, the greater the distance our reserve
forces had to travel to cOunteract the move
ment.
This effort to turn our flank was pressed
with great determination for five long, weary
hours. during which the tide of battle ebbed
and flowed along the entire line with alter
nate fortunes. The enemy's column contin-
ued to stretch away to the left, like huge
anaconda, seeking to envelope US within its
mighty folds and crush US TO death; and at
one time it really looked as if he, would
succeed.
The moment he discovered the enemy's or
der of battle, Gen. Beauregard, it is said, dis
patched orders to Gen. Ewell, on our ex-
treme right, to move forward and turn his
left or rear. At the same time be ordered
Generals Jones. Longstreet and BnOham, oc-
cupying the centre of our lines, TO cooperate
in this movement, but not to move until Gen.
Ewell had made the attack. The order to
Gen. Ewell unfortunately miscarried. The
others were delivered, but as the movements
of the centre were to be regulated entirely
by those on the right, nothing was done at
all. Had the orders to Gen. Ewell been re-
ceived and carried out, and our entire force
brought upon the field. we should have de-
stroyed the enemy's army almost literally
Attacked in the front, on the flank, aud in
the rear, he could not possibly have escaped

except at the. loss of thousands of prisoners
and all his batteries. while the field would
have been strewn with his dead.
Finding that his orders had in some way
failed to be executed, Gen. Beauregard at
last ordered up portion of the forces which
were intended to cooperate with Gen. Ewell
1t was late. however. before these reinforce
ments came up. Only one brigade reached
the field before the battle was won. This
was led by Gen. Z. X. Smith, of Florida. for
merly of the United States Army, and was
part of Gen. Johnston's column from Win
chester. They should have reached here the
day before, but were prevented by an acci-
dent on the railroad. They dashed on the
charge with loud shouts and in the most gal
liant style. About the same time, Maj. Elzey
formerly of the Augusta Arsenal looming
down the railroad from Winchester with the
last of Jobnson's brigades and hearing the
firing, Immediately quit the train and struck
across the country, and, as a gracious for
tune would have it, he encountered the ex-
treme right of the enemy as he was feeling
his way around our flank, and with his brig
ade struck him like thunder-bOlt, full in the
face. Finding he was about TO be out-Hanked
himself. the enemy gave way alter the second
fire. Meanwhile, Beauregard rallied the CEN
tre and dashed into the very thickest OF the
fight, and after him rushed our own brave
boys, with shout that seemed to shake the
very earth. The result of this movement
from three distinct points, was to force back
the enemy, who began TO retreat, first in good
order, aud finally in much confusion. At
this point, the cavalry were ordered upon the
pursuit. The retreat now became perfect
rout, and it is reported that the flying le-
gions rushed past Centreville in the direction
Of Fairfax, as if the earth had been opening
behind them. 1t vas when Gen. Beauregard
led the final charge, that his horse was killed
by a shell.
