roar Of the battle. During the day
there could not have been much less
than 10000 or 10000 on one side and
been 60, 1000 and $4,000 on the side Of the
enemy. Gen. Johnson commanded our
left wing and "the glorious Beaure-
gard" the right wing. Gen. Mcdowell
led on the Yankees. Gen. Scott Is on
the field at safe distance-we sit now
in a beautiful clovered apple orchard,
in full view Of the house where he ate
his dinner; and Lincoln, large num-
ber Of senators and congressman and
two or three hundred Washington
ladies, are said to have been ear wit

the credit Of turning the tide OF battle
to Davis, who drove a wedge into the
enemy's centre and dislodged a large
portion of themi others give to Beau

less than Spartan valor, Roman firm

the side of the enemy being not less
perhaps more, than 100 killed, and 20C

The first design of the enemy seems
to have been to force a passage at
Blackburn's ford, which they attempted
on Thursday evening with every ad-
vantage of numbers. position and artil-

at IL o'clock, and a sharp artillery
fight was kept up on both sides till near
one, when the infantry began to parti-
cipate on both sides. AS we were only
very short distance from the field,
and expecting a flank attempt upon our
ford every moment, we lay still under
cover Of bushes at the foot Of the hills,
bordering upon the south side Of the
Run, and had every opportunity to
take notes Of the engagement. The first

Dear ENQUIRER: Last Sabbath, the
21st was perhaps the most solemn,
stirring and eventful day ever witness
ed on the American continent. We have
fought a long and hotly, even desper-
ately contested battle; and won great
and signal victory, by the stout arms
of our soldiery, the towering genius of
Johnson. Davis and Beauregard, and
the gracious blessing of Heaven.
Though thousands of tender hearts
must bleed at the south. yet thrill of
ioy at the success of arms will pervadc
millions We pray that we may teach
our enemies the folly of their bloody
designs and lead them to the paths of

The Standard correspondent tele-
graphed from Dieppe under date of
last Wednesday: "A visit to the field
of battle Of the Marine shows the de-
vastating power Of the French 3-inch
field gun to be something Of which we
hitherto had not dreamed. Entire Sec
tions and companies Of Germans have
been struck as If by simultaneous thun-
derbolts, reminding one of nothing so
much as the wholesale extinction of
the populations of Herculaneum and
Pompeii.

Further on, an officer on guard lies a
few yards from his men with loosened
belts and lying in their blankets. Two
of them still hold playing cards in
their hands. Those sleeping and those
walking were swept out Of life together
without apparently having had time to
move.
Even more extraordinary is anoth-
er group of sixty dead lying about a
small haystack, as If in sleep, their

shells can be traced in a direct line by

them in front, from behind and at the
sides with the same sudden death, and
yet none Of them bears any outward
wound. There they are, stretched face
downward or staring up at the sky,
seemingly paralyzed by the mere force
Of the explosion.
The same mysterious results were
seen in many of the trenches, where
Germans were piled in rows. The Ger
man army to the east and north of
Rheims was stated to be strongly in
trenched in deep cuttings, with bomb
proof shelters and rest houses UNDER

Will This Country Help?
Reports to the Belgian legation at
Washington of the miserable condi-

captured country, whose fields and
