rces from Jefferson Barracks and from St. Louis, with which Gen Lyon had been hectoring for two months over the people of Missouri had been brought to the Potomac. The three batteries of the regular army that had been sent to aid the column of Patterson in its projected march into the valley of Virginia — a march, however, which Patterson did not effect — had been brought down for the work of Sunday, by a cunning stroke of strategy. The whole forces of regular troops that had been collecting Patterson did not effect — had been brought down for the work of Sunday, by a cunning stroke of strategy. The whole forces of regular troops that had been collecting by degrees in Washington since February last, had been marshalled for this special service. All had been crossed over the Potomac and formed into the advancing column which was to precipitate itself upon our left flank on Bull's Run, and enforce success by an irresistible coup de main. In the column of thirty-five thousand men which charged upon Johnston's division, not less than ten thousand were thoroughly trained soldiers of the regular army, including all the finest batteries of the Fe<

The loss on our side in killed and wounded is variously estimated at from 1,500 to 2,500, though in the confusion succeeding the battle it was utterly impossible to ascertain the number accurately.

Patterson, of the Federal Army, is taken prisoner, also, another high officer whose name we understood to be Wilcox. The body of Col. Fisher, of the North Carolina Sixth Regiment, who passed through here a few days ago at the head of a splendid command, was brought down on the train last night, also, three others, whose names we did not learn. A considerable number of wounded soldiers also came down. The train started, we were informed, with some three hundred, but left many on the way
From Washington Washington, July 21 --Gen. Patterson's division is moving on Winchester slowly and cautiously, and is said to be under the command of Brig. Gen. Zeigle. [This is doubtless all gammon, for it is strongly believed that Patterson's entire force was engaged in the Sunday battle near Manassas.] The correPatterson's entire force was engaged in the Sunday battle near Manassas.] The correspondent of the New York Post has telegraphed to his paper that Gen.

H., the fighting had not been renewed, except by the pickets, who are very close, as the armies are only about one mile from each other. Gen. Tyler made a recognizance on yesterday, but discovered nothing worthy of note. The largest house in Centreville had been burned down.
