When we reached the open field beyond, we opened upon their disordered and wavering ranks volleys of musketry. They turned and fled for their lives, throwing down their guns, knapsacks, and everything that would encumber their flight. The battle was fought and won. From that moment victory was ours. We drove the enemy from the field at every point. Immediately after the Battle, General Beauregard meeting with our gallant Colonel Elzey, (late a Captain in the U. S. A,) who commanded the 4th Brigade, said to him on the battle-field, 'Sir, you are the Brucher of the day, and have turned the tide of the battle.' On the same day, Col. Elzey was commissioned by President Davis Brigadier General." K. [Our correspondent appends an extract from a letter written by Captain Parker, a gallant young officer, bearing similar testimony.

But we rawn up in line and received the thanks of Gen. Johnston for what he termed our "extraordinary and desperate stand." Gen.

The prisoners must also be counted by the thousand. In the a word, not only have Centreville and Fairfax Court-House fallen into the hands of the Confederates, but the routed regiments quivering under the goading of fear, made one straight dash towards the fortifications of Arlington Heights If General Beauregard had it in his power to follow up his advantages and making good this immense rout, all the advanced camps must have fallen in his power, and the safety of Washington itself would be doubtful.--This has been, moreover, fully appreciated at the seat of Government. All the reinforcements within reach, both in men and guns, were ordered at once to the Virginia shore, to stop the progress of the enemy. These new troops, protested by the entrenchments at Arlington Heights, will alone be ab
