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 correspondent of the New York Post has telegraphed to his paper that Gen. Banks has superceded Gen. Patterson, and that Gen. Dix has succeeded Gen. Banks. From Mr. Craig, who had just reached Washington, the correspondent learns that up to seven o'clock last evening at Bull's Run, and up to six o'clock this morning from Fairfax C. 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.

Taylor's column, and distinguished himself by his bravery in the battles of Palo Alto and Reseca de la Palma. In August, 1846, he was made 1st Lieutenant, and called by Gen.

The matter was, however, quickly settled, for without any parley, Wooldridge ran his bayonet through the Yankee, killing him instantly. A Federal officer then rode up, who had observed the affair, and while Wooldridge's bayonet was still in the body of his victim, ordered him to surrender. The proposition, however, did not accord with Woodridge's idea, for in an instant his bayonet was withdrawn, when he let the officer have the full benefit of it, and, killed him instantly also. Two more Lincolnites were just then rushing upon Wooldridge, but observing the fate of those who had preceded them, immediately turned about, and, taking to their heels as fast as they could, left our hero in possession of the much coveted tree.

The soldier threw him from the sidewalk to the street, and tripped him before succeeding in retaking his musket, which it appears he wanted in order to resist the guard. At this juncture the guard was ordered to take him. One of them advanced and assisted him in rising, when Bowman advanced towards him. He drew his knife and rushed at him, Bowman retreating, commanding him at the same time to halt, which Wilson did not do, when Bowman fired the shot which wounded him, from the effects of which he died on Saturday morning at 5 o'clock, July 20th.

Bowman was not postponed in 'consequence of the absence of a material witness,' nor 'was he sent to jail to await the result of the wound inflicted on Wilson,' which statements plainly contradict themselves, as either was sufficient without the other to remand him.--Neither were both parties drunk at the time the affair happened — Wilson alone being intoxicated.
