They got within half a mile of the "Red House" in Maryland, where were stationed about 3,000 of the enemy, before they knew it. They took to the "laurel," and laid for two days and nights within fifty yards of the Yankee pickets, afraid to draw a long breath or stir a limb. On Tuesday they took to the mountain without guides or roads, and made their way to within eight miles of the Pennsylvania line, where they met a friend, who advised them to stay a day or so at his house, which kind invitation they took advantage of. After resting two or three days, they commenced their march for Petersburg, Hardy county, which they reached Tuesday night, having been three days and two nights on the route, without rest and with little or nothing to eat.

Captains Tompkins and Sargent, and Lieutenants Ludeman and Baber, arrived in this place yesterday, having been separated from the Army in that disgraceful retreat of Saturday, 13th.

Manassas, July 26, 1861. To the Editors of the Dispatch:--Your correspondent, "D. G.

It was the 4th Alabama and 2d Mississippi Regiments, and they sustained the shock for one solid hour of the entire force of the enemy. I hope the correction will be made, and that men who fought so bravely may receive their due. An Alabamian.

The engagement lasted about four hours, during which time in; our side, one--a young Sharp-Shooter. The conflict was ably managed by the company officers, and too much praise cannot be given to that noble young man, Capt. Tompkins, for the solicitude and devotion paid the security of his men. But for the able manner in which his command were deployed, their loss must have been heavy. His our all, and should he quit the service or be killed, good bye, Sharp-Shooters.
