HERALp's DISPATCH.

EEISAlR .
An officer of Sigeis staff says the bat
tie of Bull Run on Saturday began with
heavy firing with artillery on both sides
in front of General Sigels corps. The
effect of the firing from General Sigers
batteries was terribly. effective upon the
enemy, literally creating winnows in their
ranks. This is proven to be so from the
fact that shortly after temporary cessa-
ton of our fire in Sigefs line, long after
the Confederate batteries had been
silenced, therebel General jackson sent
two staff officers withwhite flags to ask
permission 70 bury his dead This per-
mission was granted. "
it seems that the announcement of the
substitution of General Halleck for STAN,
ton as Secretary of War, and the resto-
ration of General Mcclellan to the posit-
ion of Commander-in-Chief of all the
land forces of the United States, was pre-
mature, at least, if not incorrect, although

front of our army to day six or eight
miles DISTANT, from our most advanced
out posts, clouds of dust and other ap-
pearances indicated activity among the
enemy The sound of cannon for some
time seems to confirm this. Whatever
may be the fact, no damrge has resulted.

nothing new from the front to-day. Our
troops are still occupied in getting into
position, and have for the greater part
resumed the localities held by them pre-
vious to their leaving for the Peninsula,

setms to be no doubt that the Maryland
side is now free from armed rebels.
Five rebel scouts and spies crossed over
yesterday at the ferry and were seen at

the most part worn out or invalid soldiers

rebels in the recent engagements did not
fight with their entire forces, having a
powerful reserve to be made use of as
the exigences might require. The most
reliable among the conflicting rumors
were that 100000 men were still move
yesterday through Thoroughfare Gap,
branching off into the Valley and stretch
