THE RATTLE FIELDS OF MANASSAS.

From gentlemen who lately visited the scenes OF
the recent engagements on the plains of Manassas
represent the spectacle of carnage exhibited :here
as almost exceeding the possibility Of description OF
comprehension. The ground is packed by feet win
the enemy's dead. The ghastly Evidences on tne
battle field indicate that the enemy's loss was a.
least ten times our own, and these statements, we
would remind our readers derived from lnteiii
gent and reliable sources not likely TO De oscolo'eo
by ignorant prejudices.
We are informed that in Saturdays action our
forces had possession of all the hills WITHIN the I'M
its of the field, and that our artillery, when crown
ed these submits, poured into tne enemy ianAs
filed for several hours with the roar of cannon and
the bursting of shells. The general disposition OF
onr forces is described representing the form OF
a v the enemy being in the open space, and when
he cot down near the end of the figure literally cut
to pieces 1t was at this point, probably, where the
scene of battle is said to have suddenly changed,
our infantry pouring down from the left and right,
and where occurred the magnificent bayonet charge
of our troops, described in the Yankee accounts,
where the long and solid masses of our men emery
ing from the dust advanced upon the enemy with
grim and terrific energy taking his fire without
halt. and then dashing on at the sound Of their
bugles We doubt whether any battle field has
shown such magnificent picture of close conflict
and devoted courage.
Inc retreat Oh lne eueHy Is ueSCTiOeu Ill IN utst
stages as wild, frenzed rout the great mass of
the enemy moving at full run, scattered over the
fields and trampling upon the dead and living in the
mad agony of their flight The whole army was
converted into mob; regiments and companies
were no longer dstinguishable; and the panic
stricken (ugtives slaughtered at every step Of
their rereat-our cavalry cutting them down, or
our infantry driving their bayonets into their backs.
In crossing Bull Run, many of the enemy we're
drowned, being literally dragged and crushed under
the water, which was not more than waist Deep by
the crowds of frenzied men pressing and trampling
upon each other in the stream. On reaching Cen
trcville the flight of the enemy arrested by the
appearance of about thirty Thousand fresh Yankee
troops. The mass Of fugitives here rallied, to
the extent of forming it again into columns, and
with this appearance o. organization the retreat was
continued to Washington. The scenes of the first
battle of Manassas said to have been excelled in
the sublime and terrific drama enacted for the second
time on these blooddrenched plains.--Rich. Ell.
