The Situation Ia Tirgtnia lee on the Old
Bull Run Battle Ground.
New YORK, Oct. 16.
The Worlds Washington dispatch says the
rebel army occupy most of the old Bull Run
battle ground and the road leading into Lou
don Valley. Last night at six o'clock, under
cover Of the coming darkness, he attempted
the turning Of Meade's flank and getting be-
tween him and Washington. The % corps re-
sisted most vigorously, being obliged to en-
counter treble its force, but defeating the reb-
els intentions. and driving him from the field.
The rebels will probably have TO await supply
trains. Onr forces effectually destroyed the
railroad in their retreat, though bringing off
all their supplies
Officers engaged in accommodating report
the enemy in large force. The rebel loss in
yesterdays fight is known to be much larger
han ours.

CITY Defencss.

For some time before the lao attack on Charleston,
tn. Mercury contained, day after day, appeal. to the
pcopls TO come forward With heir slaves ar help to
s.-engthen the de!enceS Few listened to the appeals
scarcely any responded nearly all believed the city was
ui.e secure The consequence is that the enemy have
eR.c:ed very important Judgment On Morris Island,
have not only clrred the imperecty entrenehed sand
hill, on the southern psr Of the isltud. but have Ad
yanced to its centre where they erecting works for
lo,T range guns, with whic if not driven of, they vi |
reduce batteries Wagner and Gregg, CD ain position
to assai Sumter by mud well sea- and at the same
Ii ne she'll the cay AL this is the result OF Southern
Incidence aud false security.
We in Richmond may prof. by the Charleston les
son. VIII we? II will not, the day Is not far dis
tant whe We will rue folly. As first step in the
right direction We should at institute rigid
animation into the defences of this city The presump
ton that the Confederate authorities are perfectly
ou tinted with the condition of these daences, and
even now hard at work perectng them, would be tena
bic If We did not know that they representatives of
INDECENT forethoughsss people aud could forget that
at the time of the first attack Drowrys Bluff but
single gun was mounted One would suppose that the
authorities being vitality interested would be the very
first to ensure he safety of themselves and the Capital
in which their families reside bui facts are facts, and
they show that they who should be the fret almost
always the last to know the condition of either
armies or cur Notifications This fatal ignorance ndif
ference or whatever il may be called, demands now
precisely uha. it demanded when Richmond first
attacked BY the gunbOats. The people must entrust
their salvation to nobody but themselves.
We warn the citizens Of Richmond that not moment
il TO be lost There no fear Of the gunboas now as
candng the river; but they the vanguard of what
is to come The force on board the transports may be
landed below ChaHiu's Bluff it may be heavily rein
forced and that within a very few days our defences
