sas, arriving there Saturday, perfectly broken down after a very fatiguing march, having had very little to eat, and very little sleep. On the next day they were awakened by the booming of cannon, and were soon ordered to fall in. They then stood there on their arms, expecting every moment to be ordered into the field, until 1 o'clock, when they marched in double quick from the extreme right wing of the army to the left wing, a distance of eight miles. Though the enemy fired into their ranks a great part of the way, they pushed on unflinchingly. After they arrived on the battle-field, Walker's Battery, of the brigade, opened fire upon the enemy, doing great havoc in their ranks, causing a panic, and finally the grand rout. The firing was so fine that Gen. Beauregard inquired the name of the young man who fired the first shot, and complimented him publicly.--Their cavalry also did their duty, killing a great many of the enemy, and taking a great many prisoners and canon.

rue soldier and a brave man. He is an example rarely to be met--Lieutenants Richardson and Whittington, both with this battery in the engagement of the 18th, were in this battle, and bravely did their duty. Lieut. W. M. Owen, Adjutant, and Lieut. James Dearing, Virginia forces attached to this battalion, accompanied me. To them I am indebted for invaluable service upon the field. Frequently were they ordered to positions of great danger, and promptly and bravely did they each acquit themselves of any duty they were called upon to perform. I could mention individual instances of bravery and daring on the part of non-commissioned officers and privates, but this would be invitions where all behaved so well. In conclusion, General, I can only say, I am gratified to know we have done our duty as we were pledged to do. With great respect, I am, General, Your obedient servant, [Signed,] V. B. Walton, Major Commanding. To Brig. Gen. G. T. Beauregard, commanding division C. S. A.
Herald. The Herald knows it to It knows that the pitiful loan of five millions offered the other day could not be negotiated even in New York on any terms. What should John Bull trust the Yankee Government for? Where are its means of raising revenue, now that it can be longer plunder the Southern States? "All that is wanted," says Sawney, in contin- uation, "to rain the rebel chiefs, is to make the blockade sure." If we may be allowed to say so, this is begging the whole question. How is the blockade to be made sure? There's the rub. But even could it be, by any possibility, made sure, it would not have the effect desired. The blockade of all our ports will not prevent Johnston and Beauregard from driving every Yankee that ventures to poke his nose out of Alexandria into the Potomac. It will not prevent them from marching upon Philadelphia, or from consigning to the flames the modern Sodom, equalling it in fate with its prototype, which it greatly surpasses in infamy.
How they stood. --Gen. Irvin McDowell, of Ohio, who commanded the Federal army at the battle of Manassas Plains, is a graduate of West Point, in the class of 1838. He was twenty-third in a class of forty-five. General Beauregard, of the Confederate Army, was second in the same class.

iftness of the wind, was a splendid body of Cavalry, numbering probably a thousand. These came rushing on like a mighty torrent, with drawn sabres glittering in the evening's bright sunbeams, mounted on steeds who seemed to be maddened by the contest that was being waged by man against his fellow man. I soon recognized this to be the splendid body of Cavalry commanded by the gallant Col. Stuart, of which the excellent company from Augusta (Capt. Patrick's) forms part. In the meantime, Gen. Beauregard appeared on the field in person, and approaching our regiment inquired who we were, and on being informed, he addressed us in the following cheering language: "Fight on, brave Virginia boys; the day is ours everywhere else, and it must be here also," He then commanded us to follow him, and, with a loud cheer, we rushed forward, determined to do as commanded, or die. By this time Sherman's battery had evidently become somewhat disabled, and had slackened its fire a little. Our cour
