tall running. --The American, edited by a valiant parson, says there was some tall running from Bull Run. Lovejoy, the abolition member of Congress from Illinois, was the first to reach the White House, almost breathless from his rapid flight, and announced to the President the disaster to the Federal force. The American, a rabid Republican print, gives the following additional account of the distinguished Republicans who concluded that the better part of valor was discretion, and therefore showed their heels to the enemy: It appears that other distinguished Indianians than State Agent Hudson had the pleasure of participating in the Bull Run affair. A bird from the scene of action informs us that foremost among the participators were Hon. Henry S. Lane, and John Peter Clever Shanks, whilom of Congress, but now of Gen. Fremont's staff. They had gone down to snuff the battle from afar, (we think the farther off the better for such soldiers,) and had the pleasure of participat

there are no important intrenchments. With a few guns in position there, and the masked batteries on all sides, the people feel secure. There are several strong batteries at Acquia Creek, and the force there is rapidly increasing. Both at Manassas and Richmond the talk was that a strong force will be concentrated at some point or points on the Lower Potomac, and a descent made into Maryland. They boast that they already have a large number of boats collected at Acquia Creek and the White House for this purpose. This assertion is corroborated by information received at the Navy Department to-day. The rebels expect strong cooperation from their friends in Maryland. It is understood that Beauregard clamors for permission to make an immediate advance, to which Davis is strongly opposed.--N. Y. Tribune. Incidents of the retreat after the panic was stopped. * * we were comforting ourselves with an old oaken bucket which hung by a well near the fence: the rather cross-loo

hither to run the machine, Disguised in Scotch cap and in full Lincoln green, There's the devil to pay in the whole d — d concern, As from Cameron, Seward, and Chase, you will learn; Yet, though every thing here of a burst — up gives warning, I'm certain you'll put it all right in the morning: So to do as I tell you, be on the alert, For the panic's fictitious, and nobody's hurt. I have started no war of invasion, you know; Let who will pretend to deny it — that's so; But I saw from the White House an impudent rag, Which they told me was known as Jeff. Davis' flag, A-waving above Alexandria high, Insulting my Government, flouting the sky; Above my Alexandria, (isn't it, Bates? Retrocession's a humbug; what rights have the States?) So I ordered young Ellsworth to take the rag down, Mrs. Lincoln, she craved it, to make a new gown; But young Ellsworth, he kinder got shot in the race, And came back in a galvanized burial case; But then Jackson, the scoundrel, he got his desert; The pani<

A song sung in Norfolk. Jeff. Davis is a brave man, He will lead the Southern force, I pity Lincoln's soldiers, For I fear they will fare worse; He will show the Union shrickers, The Union it is done-- The secession flag, ere many months, Will wave o'er Washington! Jeff. Davis in the White House, What glorious news 't will be! Abe Lincoln in an inglorious flight, In a baggage car we'll see; With Seward as conductor, General Scott as engineer, Old Hicks, the traitor governor, Following panting in the rear.

n firesides, without a stain of blood upon their bayonets, although they might miss, in consequence, those laurels they desire, and which, if opportunity presents, they will win. At 8 o'clock A. M. the New York troops formed on Pennsylvania avenue. Col. Schwartzwaelder, with his regiment, (the Fifth,) was first in position. In thirty minutes the whole column was in marching order. The Twelfth Regiment in front was detailed to take possession of the avenue, immediately in front of the White House, for the space of some three hundred and fifty feet. A stage of convenient height had been erected, which was literally bathed in banners. Every available unreserved space was densely packed with people. At about 9 o'clock President Lincoln, the members of the Cabinet, accompanied by General Scott and his staff, took their places upon the stand amid the tumultuous cheers of people and soldiery, and the roll of a multitude of drums, followed by the martial strains of a brass band, playin
