Taking into consideration the topography of the country, it was a signal success. The road is skirted by high, precipitous hills, and the ground covered with thick bushes to the very road side, with but little cleared land along the road. The regiments under Cols. McCauslin and Tompkins participated in the fight. Our loss was three killed and ten or twelve wounded, as I am informed. Gen. Wise's brigade being on the opposite side of Gauley river, and some eight miles distant, took no part in the action. W. Our army on the Potomac. Rumors were plentiful yesterday in regard to the movements of the army under General Beauregard, but, beyond some successful skirmishing, we incline to the belief that nothing has yet taken place. The Northern papers, it will be seen, are considerably exercised about the occupation by the Confederates of a position of great strategic importance, overlooking the famous Union works at Arlington. They doubtless have some cause for alarm.

Gen. Beauregard's official report of thebattle of Bull Run.foughtJuly 18, 1861. Headquarters, First corps,army of the Potomac, Manassas. August, 1861. General: --With the general results of the engagement between several brigades of my command and a considerable force of the enemy, in the vicinity of Mitchell's and Blackburn's fords, of Bull Run, on the 18th ultimo, you were made duly acquainted at the time by telegraph. But it is my place now to submit in detail the operations ofof battle. The rendition of this report, it is proper to say in conclusion, has been unavoidably delayed by the constantly-engrossing administrative duties of the commander of an army corps composed wholly of volunteers — duties vitally essential to its well being and future efficiency, and which I could not set aside or postpone on any account. I have the honor to be, General,Your ob't serv't, G. T. Beauregard, Gen. Comd'g. To Gen. S. Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector General, C. S. A.

Gen. Beauregard's account of the combat of Ball Run. We lay this paper before our readers this morning. Nothing can be clearer or more forcible than the style in which the General conveys his thoughts. In every respect, this is a model for all future dispatches, it is so intelligible, so impartial, so truthful, so unpretending, and so comprehensive. If the distinguished author should think proper to write a narrative of the war, it will take rank with CÆsar's Commentaries. The public ccess"--to use the booksellers' phrase — will be small in comparison with the forthcoming description of the "battle." All those who are desirous to possess a narrative of this campaign, at once clear comprehensive, and elegant, should preserve Beauregard's reports as they come out.--They will be invaluable to the future historian. It will be observed that we make a distinction between the "combat" and the "battle" of Bull Run. It was not invented by us, but has always been employed by wri

f Wednesday evening, says: Washington is full of rumors of the near approach of a battle on the other side of the river. The circumstances on which they are based amount to little more than the gradual advance of the scouting outposts of Beauregard's army to points almost within range of the guns of the fortifications of the United States, which, however, have not attempted to be hold (by the enemy) so far, for more than sufficient time in which to make reconnaissances It is by no mecClellan, who is constantly in the saddle, is well informed as to all the movements and plans of the enemy, and certainly prepared for them at all points — from Harper's Ferry to Point Lookout. We may add that it is utterly impossible that Beauregard contemplates a serious movement against the fortifications on the other side of the river. From Gen. Banks' column.

ible to subdue them. The corps which went from Winchester to Manassas under Johnston is put by the federalists at 40,000. Let us take it at half that number. Beauregard and Lee are said to have had 60,000 at Manassas, including, I presume, the forces between it and Richmond. Divide that again. There were certainly 20,000 betwd be condemned to greater isolation. Philadelphia itself would be in imminent danger should the Confederates attempt greater aggression. But, for one, General Beauregard will consent to no pian of operations in which success is not rendered as certain as may be by all possible preparations, and he might not favor a proposal ent of a Confederate officer, in the advance of Fairfax Court-House, which must have been sent to him as soon as it was ready. It is also asserted that General Beauregard knew beforehand of McDowell's advance; but the Confederates left in such haste that much credence cannot be given to the statement that the enemy were fully

t be borne in mind that it is now five weeks since the defeat of our army at Bull Run; that that defeat has had the effect of an electric shock throughout the whole South; that it has aroused the enthusiasm of the South to a higher pitch than ever; that, during the last five weeks, troops have been pouring into Virginia from all the other Southern States; that the Confederates have now in arms, according to their own accounts, forces distributed about as follows: No. of men.

Army of the Potomac. For some days our army under Generals Johnston and Beauregard has been getting into close quarters with the enemy. Advanced detachments have had sharp skirmishing, in which there has been a considerable number killed and wounded, (fewer on our side than on that of the enemy,) and we have a few prisoners. We have gained several important positions — especially one which is understood to command Arlington. The enemy will soon have to make up his mind to fight a serious battle or retreat across the Potomac. We may therefore look daily for stirring events. We know what our officers and men can do, and we suppose there is nobody here who doubts what the result will be when the expected collision takes place.
