se headquarters, of the impending movement; and in exact accordance with my instructions, a copy of which is appended, marked "A," their withdrawal within the lines of Bull Run was effected with complete success during the day and night of the 17th ultimo, in face of and in immediate proximity to a largely superior force, despite a well-planned, well- executed effort to cut off the retreat of Bonham's brigade, first at Germantown and subsequently at Centreville, whence he withdrew, by my directperior force. This was especially the case with the position of the 5th Alabama Volunteers, Colonel Rodes, which that excellent officer had made capable of a resolute, protracted defence against heavy odds. Accordingly, on the morning of the 17th ultimo, when the enemy appeared before that position, they were checked and held at bay, with some confessed loss, in a skirmish in advance of the works, in which Major Morgan and Captain Shelley, 5th Regiment Alabama Volunteers, acted with intellige

The Express brought three passengers and $20,000 in gold dust. The United States troops, seven hundred and fifty in number, who surrendered to three hundred Texan Rangers, eighteen miles from Fort Fillmore, have been released on parole. The Texans retained their arms and the horses belonging to the companies of mounted rifles. Gen. W. Petham, formerly Surveyor-General of New Mexico, and Col. Clements, were arrested in Santa Fe and confined in the guard-house, by order of Col. Canby, commander of the Department of New Mexico. They were suspected of giving improper information to the Texan troops. At Fort Bliss, below El Paso, Col. Clements took the oath of allegiance and was discharged. Gen. Petham refused to take the oath, and is still confined in the guard-house. The Hon.

Floyd, late Secretary of War,) with a column of 15,000 troops, raised in the Southwestern counties of Virginia, had been moving in the same direction. On the 10th of August he was at Newbern, on the line of the Great Southern Railroad, where he finished the organization of his division, and started on his way to the North. On the 12th, his column was at Paris; on the 15th, at Union, in Monroe county, and on the 17th, at Lewisburg, in Greenbrier county. From that point he crossed over the Flat Top Mountains, by the same route taken a few days afterwards by Gen. Lee's army, and proceeding to a spot near the Gauley Bridge, awaited the arrival of Gen. Lee. Joining their forces on the 24th instant, it would seem from accounts that the two Generals proceeded along the Gauley river, crossed that stream, attacked Col. Tyler at Summersville, and defeated him with heavy loss on the 26th. We have no further
