We could do nothing but roll on the floor shouting, easy, "Jeff Davis," "Johnston," "Jackson," the 21 Regiment are coming; then we talked of preparations to be made for Southern troops, that we believed approaching. All night the same confusion. Doubleday's battery (on which every foreigner "shwearsde victory") acted the double-flying artillery.

the purpose of obtaining from you a permit for Mr. H. S. McGraw and myself to pass your times to obtain the body of Col. Cameron, who fell in the action of yesterday. My solicitude in this matter is an impulse of private character. The rigid rules established in Washington with reference to flags of truce prevent me from carrying out my wishes without proceeding as I am now doing. I believe General B. will recollect me while a resident in New Orleans; but if President Davis, Gen. Lee, Gen. Johnston, Gen. Wigfall, Colonels Miles, Keitt, or Withers, are present, they will not hesitate to vouch for me. General Bouham, and in fact nearly all your officers, know me. In addition to the gratification of performing a sacred duty. I would be highly delighted to meet in your camp many of my most valued friends.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the Newtown Artillery in the battle of Manassas. Frederich Co. Va., July 30, 1861. Hearing much said in praise of the Newtown Artillery, attached to the Fourth Brigade of General Johnston's Army, by the infantry who witnessed their bravery, and the good service they rendered on the battle-field on the 21st, and not seeing any notice of them, I think that justice demands these few lines, knowing, as I do, that no town in Frederick county, sent forthe answers to the question, how is the battle coming off? Some would say, it's a hard time, boys; others, we are whipped; our men are falling back; our men are cut to pieces; but we pushed on. We stopped on a hill to get orders where to go, Gen. Johnston being there observing the movements of the enemy. There we first caught sight of the Yankees, on a hill about a mile off, and shooting at us with rifle-cannon.
