against our left. A short time afterwards Gen. Johnston and Gen. Beauregard, with their staff, rodGen. Beauregard fought the battle and that Gen. Johnston yielded to preconceived plans. Whilst accogher admiration as a General, it is due to Gen. Johnston to say, that he planned the battle. Pre-eminently a modest man, General Johnston, perhaps, would never claim the high honor, which is his due,s of hope. Essentially a man of judgment, Gen. Johnston has never risked during the campaign any bour proud Republic in its inception. When Gen. Johnston, (who has always been in correspondence wilating to a semicircle. On Saturday night Gen.

They were first ordered to support Pendleson's Virginia Battery, which they did amid a furious storm of grape from the enemy's.--Inactive as they were, compelled to be under this fire, they stood cool and unflurried. They were finally ordered to charge Sherman's Battery. To do this it was necessary to cross an intervening hollow, covered by the enemy's fire, and establish themselves in a thicket flanking the enemy's battery. They charged in a manner that elicited the praise of Gen. Johnston. Gaining the thicket, they opened upon the enemy. The history of warfare probably affords no instance of more desperate fighting than took place now. From three-sides a fierce, concentrated, murderous, unceasing volley poured in upon this devoted and heroic "six hundred" Georgians. The enemy appeared upon the hill by the thousand. Between six and ten regiments were visible. It was a hell of bullet-rain in that fatal grove. The ranks were cut down as grain by a scythe. Whole pl

red. [Cheers.] I do not expect the latter to take place, Such men as we have can never be conquered, [cheers.] because they are fighting for that which is dearer than life itself — their rights [Cheers.] I have left behind me wife, children, home, everything that is dear to man. My men are in the same condition.--We would be worse than cowards if we gave up the contest with anything less than life. [Loud cheers.] In the great battle lately fought — the battle of Davis, Beauregard and Johnston — our men exhibited a foretaste of what Lincoln's menials may expect in every contest that is to follow. Any set of raw troops who can, with nothing but bowie knives, charge upon the bayonets of regulars, as our men did in the late battle, can never be whipped. There is no instance upon record where raw recruits were known to make such bold, daring, slashing charges right up to the mouths of cannon, manned by veterans, and take them, as did our men on that occasion. Nor was an army with <

From Gloucester Point. [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Fort Brown, Gloucester Point, July 22 1861. To-day has been a day of rejoicing. Military enthusiasm is at its height. When the news of the victory of Davis, Beauregard and Johnston combined — the mighty trio of warriors-- reached us, there was cheering among us all; each congratulating the other upon the success of our Southern forces. Eleven guns were fired in honor of the victory, one for each of the States of our glorious Confederacy, the last of which was fled by the Colonel of this post, Chas. A. Crumpt. The largest battle ever fought on the American continent has been decided to the honor and glory of the brave sons of the South. But how else can it be when our soldiers are cheered on by the many blessings and favors of the fair sex of the Old Dominion. For when beauty declares her preference and asserts her away, men, too, must leap to her assistance and rescue and defend her cause. No
