plan. At Warrenton Gen. Lee formed the bold design of sending one of his corps (Hill's) by a rapid detour to seize the heights of Centreville, while his other (Ewell's) should fall upon our flank and rear. It was on Wednesday morning, when our whole army passed Cedar Run at Auburn, Gen. Warren's corps (Second) bringing up overing the trains of the army, which were much delayed in the crossing by the pontoons. A critical moment. The occasion was now an extremely critical one Ewell had begun pressing severely on our rear and already on Wednesday morning, at Auburn the rear guard became engaged with a portion of his force. A double necessity e glad to make off, leaving a thousand dead and wounded and five hundred prisoners in our hands! It was well that night came on as it did, for just as the sun set Ewell, who had been following in Warren's rear, came up, but had only time to form line of battle when the darkness interrupted further operations, and the rear guard wa

l, who had been following in Warren's rear, came up, but had only time to form line of battle when the darkness interrupted further operations, and the rear guard was able to pass on and join the main body of the army. Lee's plans disconcerted. The repulse at Bristoe completely disconcerted Lee's plans, so far as they embraced the view of getting on the communications of Gen. Meade or reaching Centreville before him. Lee had no longer with him that unmatched executive officer, Stonewall Jackson, unequalled at a rapid march. Hill proved slow and feeble, and instead of striking the head of the Union column he struck its rear, and got badly handled in consequence. The rebels halt. From this moment Lee abandoned all purpose of giving battle, and never advanced the main body of his army much beyond Bristoe. Detachments were, however, sent to follow up the Union force and make demonstrations. On Friday at 11 o'clock A. M., the enemy appeared in front of Blackburn's and

t of the railroad, on the instant jumped his men unseen, into it. More prudence on the part of the rebel commander, or less sagacity on the part of the Union commander, would have proved the destruction of that corps. The rest of the army had all gone ahead. The 1st corps (Newton's) had already reached Manassas. The last one but Warren's — namely, the 5th, (Sikes's)--passed beyond Bristoe simultaneously with Warren's coming up, and just as he got engaged with the enemy he received from Sykes the comforting intelligence that he "was moving off slowly and in good order." Gen. Warren had formed his troops under cover of the cut and embankment of the railroad, constituting ready made breastworks. On the left he placed a defensive crotchet. Down rushed the enemy, charging on this flank, when suddenly the troops under cover rose up, and at close range poured volley after volley of deadly fire into the advancing and presently retreating rebels. After twenty minutes fight th

To this commandeHill's corps had reached Bristoe about simultaneously with Warren — in fact, had just got ahead of him sufficiently to form ng by the flank and met by the enemy in line of battle.

is more connected and intelligible than any we have yet seen published. After Meade had ascertained to his satisfaction that Gen. Lee was endeavoring to flank him,uard became engaged with a portion of his force. A double necessity was upon Gen. Meade; first, he must move with extreme celerity to reach Centreville in advance ofs plans, so far as they embraced the view of getting on the communications of Gen. Meade or reaching Centreville before him. Lee had no longer with him that unmatchedn pursuit was, of course, hopeless, and has for the present been given up. Meade's Anxiety to give battle. As to the imputation that Gen. Meade was, during Gen. Meade was, during the retrograde movement, trying to get away from Lee, and manœuvring throughout to avoid a battle, it is utterly false. He tried repeatedly to get battle, and would a different stamp would not have been able to compel a battle, I know no.; but Meade was not only willing, but eager to bring such a result about, and did all he co

ts further Developments. In the meanwhile the Union army lay at Black burn's ford, Bull Run, Chantilly and Centreville, awaiting the development of the enemy's, plans. Headquarters were on the old Bull Run battle field itself, by the woods through which the regulars made their charge. A forward movement. On Monday, the 19th, the forward movement was begun, the army crossing Bull Run on pontoons. The 2d corps took the road toward Auburn, the 6th toward Warrenton, the 3d toward Catlett's, the 1st and 5th toward New Baltimore. Tuesday, 20th, found the army on the line indicated — the line of Cedar Run. It had been expected and hoped that we should meet the enemy, but they were far ahead, and nothing but small cavalry parties appeared. On Wednesday, our cavalry returning, gave the intelligence that the rebels were all across the Rappahannock and the Rapidan. In this situation pursuit was, of course, hopeless, and has for the present been given up. Meade's Anxie
