ith twenty thousand men. Patterson had, on Monday, marched down from Martinsburg to within a few miles of the entrenchments at Winchester, and had, on Wednesday, suddenly fallen back across the Potomac. Johnston at once determined to reinforce Beauregard, having no doubt that Patterson had been ordered to join Mcdowell. The result proved the correctness of this surmise, for Patterson's column constituted a part of the enemy's fighting force on yesterday. The centre of our line was commanded by President Davis in person; the left by the glorious Beauregard. President Davis, with the energy and gallantry that belongs to his character, had no sooner delivered his Message to Congress in this city on Saturday, than he commenced his arrangements for sharing the fate of our army in the field. He accordingly left this city early yesterday morning, and arrived in time to take a decisive part in the battle. The heaviest onset of the enemy was made upon our left, under Gen. Johnston, an
hed this city, however, information had reached them at Gordonsville that the engagement had become general, and that a terrific battle was progressing. Private dispatches of the most reliable character were received at a late hour in the evening, informing us that the attack was made by our forces about four o'clock, in consequence of an attempt of the enemy to throw up breastworks under the disguise of burying their lead. In the general engagement President Davis led the centre, Gen. Beauregard the right wing, and Gen. Johnston the left wing of our army. The Lincoln army was completely routed. Hampton's Legion suffered considerable loss. Sherman's celebrated Battery of Light Artillery was taken by our troops. The fight was very severe and fatal on both sides. Among the prominent officers who are reported to have been killed are Col. Bartow, of Georgia; Gen. Ber, of South Carolina, Gen. Kiery Smith, and Col. Johnson, of the Hampton Legion. The following di

In obedience to your instructions, I left the city of Richmond on the morning of the 7th July, at 6 o'clock A. M., as bearer of dispatches to His Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. At Manassas I received from General Beauregard a letter to General McDowell, commanding the U. S. forces at Arlington. From Manassas I proceeded to Fairfax Court-House, where I was furnished, by General Bonham, an escort of fourteen cavalry, under the command of Lieut. Breckinridge, oflington, my arrival was telegraphed him to Washington City. About 9 o'clock P. M., Col. Van Renslaer, senior aide-de-camp to Gen. Scott, was sent to convey me to Gen. Scott's headquarters, where I found General McDowell, to whom I delivered Gen. Beauregard's letter. After reading Gen. B's letter he passed it to Gen. Scott, who being informed in this letter, that I desired to deliver your communication in person received it of me.--After reading your communication to Mr. Lincoln, General Scott

a complete frustration of the enemy and his plans. A more complete and glorious victory we could not have asked, and must add another leaf to the chaplet of Gen. Beauregard's fame. When 7,000 men are thrice repulsed by less than two thousand, with over ten times the loss sustained by the attacked; when the 2,000 attacked has no ning at roll call. They have been all day burying their dead, and we don't know whether they are done yet or not. It is rumored just now, at 11. A. M., that Gen. Beauregard was hourly expecting a night attack. Besides the killed and wounded, and the ten prisoners we took, we have taken two 32-pound rifle cannon, some four orh remarkable regularity, but with little effect, as the result proved. A rifle cannon ball went through the house occupied by our men as a hospital, near Gen. Beauregard's quarters. Dam. P. S.--July 20, 6 A.

degree of love and undying devotion for their country, merit a higher panegyric than we are capable of conferring upon them. We feel satisfied if the gallant sons should ever meet the enemy, that their colors will be seen floating triumphantly after the conflict. A variety of cases of sickness have been reported at the hospital within the last few days. It is ascribed partially to the water, which possesses some very extraordinary properties. The intelligence of the success of Beauregard at Bull Run, created much enthusiasm here. We have long entertained the most favorable opinion of his great military genius. His career during the Mexican campaign gave him a position which will culminate during this crusade of the goths and vandals of the North in great renown. A detachment of Col. Hampton's Legion will probably leave here to-morrow or next day for the West. They are well drilled, and woe to the Lincolnites when they meet those chivalrous sons of Carolina in battl
