A heavy cavalry charge by the enemy upon a broken column of ours which was resting near one of the hospitals, was one of tae disastrous events of the day, and immeiiately preceded the general backward movement. This cavalry bad been concealed in the woods and made a sudden and unexpected dash, in that direction upon oar troops. Two churches-Bethlehem. Church and Sad-lev Church situated at eilher end of the line, were converted into hospitals, with many other buildings. There was a great lack of ammunition on our part.

Our army suffered a heavy reverse, but by no means such an overthrow as panic stricken-civilians and the soldiers who fled in advance of the retreat, imagine and allege. The great body of our troops are slowly re- treating in remarkably good order, recovering most of the munitions, baggage, thrown away by those, stricken witn the panic.

The fire upon them, with artillery and musketry, often in solid column, was terrific. They seen to fall thick and fast, and were lying' in all directions upon the battle-field. "The fact that Beauregard did not follow up his' apparent victory -was supposed to be in consequence of being severely cut up and disabled.

It is believed he still remains with, his-whole army entrenched as before at Manassas Junction. He was evidently largely-reinforced by fresh troops after the battle had raged some hours, and to this is attributed his success. Whether this reinforcement was Gen. Johnson's command is not positively known, but generalty believed itwas. Soma roughly compute the whole Confederate army engaged and in reserve at Manassas, about eighty to one hundred thousand men.

Others think it was not so large. The Federal troops rose to about 45,000, though not over 15,000 to 20,000 were in action at ay one time. The reserve at Centreville sent for did not get up in. tirrie. -r There are different estimates of the Federal loss, ranging from three hundred untothre tbcnsapd in killed and "bounded!" A number tre're cut UP! at as they scattered' and may have'saveS themselves, the loss, when fully ascertained, will not provS by any means so large as imagined.

The New York Fire Zouaves, the 71st and the 69th, the let Connecticut, 1st Massachussetts, and some others, are reported as being immensely di-ministed, bnt duj ing to-day large numbers of" each come in, and more may be expected. It was altogether a terrible battle- and awful slaughter. Except the Federal stampede, there was really no decided advantage of one army over the other. There have been rumors and conjectures in reference to the present position of Gen. McDowell.

Some allege he has taken a stand at Centreville and there rallied his forces. This is doubtful, as the most reliable information induces me to think ha has drawn in his pickets, and is now with his entire remaining within the cordon of Arlington and Alexandria, there to remain until powerfully reinforced by not less than a hundred thousand men. The citizens of Washington have wholly recovered from their panic, and there are no apprehensions for the city'3 perfect security, or of Beauregard's making an advance movement. I learn Cap. Tillinghorst was mortally wounded.

D. Ramsey, of Lieut. Robert's battery, was killed. Col. B.

Wilcox ii dead. A son of Col. Craig, I learn, also fell mortally wounded. Dr. Russell, the correspondent of the London Times, was out to witness the battle of Manassas, and aaeongst the advance.

He has not been heard fiom this morning. Several other members of the press vrera professionally present, seme of whom made narrow escapes. A few are still missing, supposed to have been, taken prisoners or accidentally killed. Occasional. ADDITIONAL WAR IXE31S.

MOVEMENTS OP MAJ. GEN. PATTERSON. We learn from a passenger who arrived in the cars last night that Maj. Gen.

Patterson's army left Charlestowh on Sunday morning, and came back to Harper's Ferry. It appears he knew on Saturday night that Gen. Johnson had marched to Manassas Junction. There are now no Confederate troops at Winchester or that section of country. The men under Gen.

Patterson are much dissatisfied. A few days ago he appealed to 19 of the regiments whose terms are About to expire, to remain ten days longer, but only four consented. The 7th Pennsylvania regiment left yesterday for Hagerstown en route for home. The 23d, Col. Dare, Penna.

volunteers, the 8th and several other regiments are about to leave for home. Col. Irwin has received orders from Washington to immediately proceed to fill up the vacancies. Harper's Ferry is to be the headquarters of the federal army. THB WAR IN WESTERN VIRGINIA THE BATTLE ON THE KANAWHA.

The Cincinnati Cemmeroial of Saturday publishes an account of the battle fought oa Thursday last at Pokey Creek, a branch of the Kanawha, between a portion of en. Wise's command and the Twelfth Ohio Regiment. The report is furnished by an eye-witness. We copy as follows: On the 27th Gen. Cox ordered the 12th Ohio, Col.

Lowe, two companies of the 21st Ohio, tcgether -with the Cleveland artillery and, Captain Rogers' cavalry company from Iron-ton, Ohio, to cross the Kanawha river at the mouth of Pokey creek, twenty miles below Charleston, and recennoitre the rebel" camp five miles above, on the south side or right hand bank of tho Kanawha, three miles below the month of Coal river, and to cannonade and. draw them out in order to estimate their force, and, if easily captured, to take their batteries, the enemy being fortified. When within three hundred yards of the battery they were fired Into by Confederates under command of Col. Tompkins, from three to five pieces of artillery, when a general engagement ensued, lasting about two hours, when the Confederates were reinforced, and the Federal troops compelled, to retreat. Col.

Norton, of the 21st Ohio, was wounded, shot in the hip and taken prisoner: Capt. Allen killed, ball in the forehead just between the eyes; Lieut. Pomeroy was shot through the hip. He died on the Dunleith, when the boat was near Gallipolis. The remains will be forwarded to his home in Otto-wa, Putnam county, Ohio.

Lieutenant Pomeroy and Captain Allen were in company 21st Ohio, Col. Norton. During the engagement. Col. De Yillier, 11th Ohio, Col.

Woodruff, Lieut. Col. Neff, and several captains of the 2d Kentucky, mounted, rode up opposite thetcene of action, and bad not returned to their camp up to 12 M. on the 18th inst. The Confederates were reported to be 1,500 strong, i revious to being reinforced.

A flag of truce had been sent out by the Federals, asking the privilege of visiting the Confederate camp to gather the dead and wounded. OPERATIONS OF GBN. M'CXELLAN'S ARMY-. Gen. McClellan has issued an address to his army at Beverly, in which he says to them: You have annihilated two armies, commanded by educated and experienced soldiers, en-trenched in mountain fastnesses, and fortified at their leisure.

You have taken five guns, twelve colors, fifteen hundred stand of arms, one thousand prisoners, including, more than forty officers. One of the second commanders of the rebels is a prisoner; the other lost his life on the field of oattle. You have killed more than two hundred and fifty of the enemy, who has lost all his baggage and camp equipage. All this has been accomplished with the loss ef twenty brave men killed and sixty wounded on 3 our part. CONDITION OF THE CONFEDERATE TROOPS 1ST WESTERN VIRGINIA.

Several facts, says the Cincinnati Commercial, ascertained during Gen. McClellan's campaign in Western Virginia, have surprised people greatly. It is a surprise to most of us to learn that the transportation service, and the provisions, tents and blankets of the Virginians were superior to those of our troops. Their blankets and overcoats are said to have been of extraordinary excellence. wagons were a vast deal better than those accompanying our army.

Instead of the rebels being In a starving condition, they had flocks of sheep, and heaps of corn, and plenty of flour. The officers appeared to have indulged largely in sardines and champagne, from the multitude of boxes and baskets scattered about. PROM PORT PICKENS.

XLIX. NO. 55. WAR NEAVS. THE BATTLE AT BULL'S RUN.

Xiatest Great Strcagtli of the Confederates. AN EXCITING SCENE. DEFEAT OF THE FEDERAL ARMY BEFORE MANASSAS. TBE iEMY RETREAT TO WASHINGTON. GREAT SLAUSHTEROM BOTH SIDES.

Srmy of lie rctcraaeti) be Hccrganzeil. Gen. McCiellan to Command. The news from the army nnder Gen. McDowell was watched yesterday with intense interest, and every rumor, however ab3urd, was caught up with the greatest avidity.

At fn early hour in the morning a report was started that Manassas Junction had been captured by GeD. McDowell. This, however, was soon ascertained to be incorrect. Another report was tfcas the federal troops bad been defeated and were on the retreat from Bull's Run towards Washington city, after having sustained a very serious loss in killed and wounded. This report was confirmed by dispatch received from "Washington ab jut noon.

Subjoined will be found the news in detail: From the National Intelligencer.of Monday. The Battle of Sunday. Our advices from the seat of war in the neighborhood cf Manassas Junction, being up to six o'clock last evening, i urnisb informacion of a hard-fought batt yesterday between tnat point and Centreville. The division of Gen. Tyler was principally engaged on the side of the national army, and wherever it met the secession forces in the open field drove them tck with loss.

The engagement, which commenced about half-past tea o'clock in the moraio, was on-tinned until abms four o'clock ia the afternoon, when our troops, Hading their progress obstructed by masked batteries which large reserves of the enemy prevented them from turning', withdrew in good order to A portion ol our advanced troops, however, among whom were the two Rhode Island regiments and the bittilioaof Uaited States marines, continued to hold their groaad, while the powerful division of reserve was ordered up to strengthen the position at the latter point. The secession forces were at every point largely superior in numbers to those eng tged on ttie side of the nitionil troops, and the former were constantly reinforced during the right. It was also understood that Gen. Johnston had effected a junction with Gen. Beauregard.

i Our informant, who was an eye-witness of the battle and a voluntary participant in it, states that some prisoners were taken by oar troops, among whom he found'a captain of the Palmetto Guard, of Charleston, who confessed to him that the battle, in its effect on their side, had been exceedingly bloody. The loss on the side of the national army, according to the highest estimate which has reached us, is fifty killed and about two hundred wounded. Among the former we regret to chronicle the names of Col. Cameron, of the New York 79th regiment; Lieut. Col.

Nugent, of the New York 69th, and Col. Sloeum, of the 2d Rhode Island regiment. Gen. Han-, ter is among the wounded, and, we learn, was brought to this city last evening, from which, we infer that his wounds, two in number, are not serious. So far as we can learn, none of the national troops were made prisoners.

The battle was mainly kept up by artillery at the usual distance of that arm, though the contending forces frequently came to closer quarters, when volleys of musketry were exchanged on both sides. The engagement of yesterday having shown that the secession forces at and near the Junction are greatly superior in numbers to those present uiid-ithe command of Gen. ir may be doubted whether the battle will be resumed on his part until such reinforcements re received as shall enable him again to take the offensive. If attacked at Centreville his present force, with the reserves now called up, is considered ample to enable him to maintain his position and repulse any assailants. -A Great Stampede Teamsters, Civilians and Seldiers Frightened.

The "Washington Republican (administra-tioB) of yesterday morning, after giving an at ccunt of the battle, relates the following: All onrmilitary operations went swimmingly on, and Col. Alexander was about erecting a pontoon across Bull Run, the enemy were seemingly in retreat, and their batteries being unmasked one after another, when a terrific consternation broke out among the teamsters, who had incautiously advanced immediately after the body of the army, and lined the War-renton road. Their consternation was shared in by numerous civilians, who were on th ground, and for a time it seemed as if our whole army was in retreat. Many baggage wagons W9re emptied, and their horses gal lopped across the open fields, all the fences of which were torn down, to allow them a more rapid retreat For a time a perfect panic prevailed, which communicated itself to the vicinity of Centreville, and every available conveyance was seized upon by agitated civilians. Wounded soldiers cried on the roidsida for assistance, hat the alarm was so great, that numbers were passed by.

Several similar alarms occurred on previous occasions, when" a change of batteries rendered the retirement of the artillery on our part, and it is most probable that the alarm wis owing to the same fact. The reserve force at Centreville was immediately brought up, and marched in double quick step, in. the following order: Colonel insteins's 27th Pennsylvania regiment, with two guns, the Garibaldi Guards, andBlenker's first rifle ragimant, with its batteries, followed, at several miles distant, by the DeKalb regiment. When our courier left, at half past four o'clock, it was in the midst of this excitement. Two new masked batteries had been opened by the rebels on the left llink, and that portion ot the division had had its liaes broken, and demanded immediate reinforcement.

The right was in good order. The battery, erected on the hillside, directly oppasite the main battery of the enemy, was doing good execution, and additional guns were being mounted. On his arrival at Fairfax Court House he was overtaken by government messengers, who reported that our army Wis in full retreat towards Centreville. They were followed by les3 agitated parties who stated that the report of the retreat was owing to the fact that the alarm among the teamsters had communicated itself to the volunteers, and even, in some instances, to the regulars, and the lines were broken; and that retirement of our forces across Bali Run was rendered necessary. CoL.

Hnnter passed at the same time, in a vehicle, wounded. Ayer's battery was also reported as-lost. Crowds of carriages and baersage wagons came rushing down the road. The telegraph office was closed against all private business, and in an hour the alarm had been communicated all along the road to Washington. The position of the enemy extended in three lines, forming a triangle, the apex frosting the centre of our column.

The area seems to have been filled by masked batteries. The head of the charger of Gov. Spraue, which be rode during the engagement, was shot off from his body, while1 the horse of General Burnside was shot from under h.m. KILLS.D AND WOUSDED The Washington Republicia estimates the number of killed and wounded, oa both sides, at lO.txo. PAPJICUL ARS OF THE RETREAT.

Batteries CapturedPrevisions Saved. Washikgtoit, July 82. After the latest in.) formation was received from Centreville at 7 o'clock last night; a series of events took place in the intensest degree disastrous. Many confused statements are prevalent, but enough is known to warrant the statement that we have suffered in a degree which has casta gloom over the remnant ot the and excited the deepest melancholy throughout Washington. i The carnage ia tremendously heavy on both ides, and' on oars represented aa frightfaL We were advancing and- taking their masked batteries gradnally, bat surely, and by driving the enemy towards Manassas Junction, when the nmy" seemed to have been- rein-forctd by Gen Johnson, who it is understood took the command -and immediately commenced drivtngns back, when a panic among nr troops suddenly occurred and a regular stampede took place- It is thought that Gen.

McDo well undertook to make a stand at or about Centreville, bat the panio was so fearful that the whole army became demoralised, -and it was Impossible, wf check them, either at Centreville or at Fairfax Court House, but our forces being in fall rsl entire route all the way from Fairfax Court House. The road from Bull's Run to Centreville is strewed with knapsacks, arms, etc. Some of the troops deliberately threw away their gans, the better to facilitate their retreat. Gen. M-Dowell was in the rear of the Tetreat, exerting himself to.

rally his men, but with only partial effect. The latter part of the army, it is said, made their retreat in order. He was completely exhausted, having slept but little for three nights. i His orders on the field did not at all times reach those for whom they were intended. It is supposed that the reserved force of the ene my sent against our troops, consisted, according to a prisoner's statement, of about 33,000 men, including large numbers of cavalry.

He further says that owing to the reinforcements from Richmond, Strosburg and other paints, the average effective force wa3 90,000 men. According to the statement of two of tae Fire Zouaves, tuey only havd about 200 men left from the slaughter! While the G9tb. and other regiments have frightfully suffered in killed and wouided. The number of the Federal los3 be knowc. Shermin's, Carlisle's and the West Point batteries were taken by the enemy, ant-the eight siege 32-pound riflea cannon, the lat- -ter being too cumberous to remove.

They were two miles the other side of Centre ville. Such of the wounded, as were brought to Centreville Hospital were left there.afier having their wounds properly dressed by Surgeon Frank H. Hamilton. The panic was so great that the attempt to rally the troops to make a stand at Centreville w'as entirely in vain. If a firm stand had been made there our troops could have soon bean reinforced, and much disaster prevented.

It is supposed that all the provision trains belonging to the government are saved. Some regimental wagons were by accident, or their wheels came off and nad, therefore, to be abandoned. Large droves of cattle were saved by being driven back on the advance of the retreat. It is supsosed to-day that Gen. Mansfield will take command of the fortifications on the ether side of the river, which are able, it is said by military engineers, to be held against any force that may be brought against them.

Large rifled cannon and mortars are being rapidly sent over and mounted. The Latest from the Virginia Side of the Potomac. -An officer just fjom Virginia, reached here at li'X o'clock reports that the road from Centreville to the Potomac, is strewed with strag-glers. The troops are, however, resuming their occupation of the fortifications and entrenchments on the line of the Potomac. Col.

Marston, of the New Hampshire regiment, reached, here this morning; he was wounded. Col. Heintzleman was also wounded in the wrist. In addition to those reported yesterday, it is said that Col. Wilcox, the gallant commander of the brigade, was killed.

Also Capt. McCook, brother of Col. McOook, of Ohio. The city this morning is in the most intense excitement. Groups are everywhere gathered to inquire the latest news.

Wasons are continually arriving bringing in the dead and wounded. Soldiers are relating to anxious listeners the deplorable events of last night and early this morning. Both telegraph and steamboat communication with. Alexandria is suspended to-day to the public The greatest alarm exists throughout the city, especially among the female portion of the population. -Northern Accounts of the Battle of Bull's Run.

The New York papers have accounts of the fight at Bull's Run on Sunday. The correspondent of the Herald writes From Ledley's Spring to Blackburn's Ford, near which, latter point are located the famous Bull's Run batteries, it would seem that for" live miles the rebels have erected defences and planted-cannon. The scene beggars description. Upon the extreme right the deep voices of the tbirty-two pounders are heard from time to time, responded to in similar tone3from batteries close at hand, while the whole hillside for mUes seems bristling with cannon, the smoke of whose discharges was plainly noted from the hill near Centreville. Several attempts were made during the day to turn the left flank of our Bodies of rebel cavalry and infantry were observed passing in that direction through the timber, and Hunt's, battery and the rifled served by Lieut Edwards, were kept busy in driving them back.

Towards the afternoon Col. Miles, who with a Colonel's commission is performing the duties of a Major General, concluded feel wita la-fan try the woods in front of the position occupied by Col. Richardson'3 brigade. Skirmishers were deployed under the concealment of the timber, and the scene of the terrible contest of Thursday was revisited. Two privates were wounded; one belonging to the Second Michigan Regiment in thsarm.

Some four or five hundred shells and shot were thrown by our batteries at this point, without eliciting any response whatever. It could not be decided whether the bitte-ries had been vaca-ed by their recent whether this manouvre was ioten led to inveigle our men again Into the same trap into which they had on ce fallen. During the day it wa3 reported that General Beauregard had turned our left and was marchinsr upon Washington with bis whole force. This occasioned, mucb anxiety and apprehension in the crowd of civilians watching the progress of the fight upon the hills of Centreville. About four o'clock the first couriers from the columns of Hunter and Heintzleman arrived.

They stated that the contest bad been a terrible one, attended with great loss pf killed and wounded upon both, sides, and brought a request from General McDowell that General Bleoker should, without dslay, take his brigade to the front, which he immediately proceeded to do. The great feature of the immense military movement of the day was the battle of Ball's Run, which was commenced at five o'clock this morning, by Colonel Helntzleman's, Ty-lei's and Hunter's divisions. The scenes on the battle field were terriffic. The shrieks of the wounded and dying were agonizing. Our troops fought like tigers and manifested the greatest bravery.

The Fire Zouaves distinguish themselves," but were sadly thinned out. Lietenant Tie-bout is also known to be dead, of this corps. The New-York Seventy-first, Col. Martin, also distinguished himself. The Colonel was wounded but it is believed not mortally.

Capts. Ellis and Hart were killed while leading their commands. The Eighta, New York State Militia, Col. Lyon suffered terribly, as they always maintained a bold froat. The Second Rhode Island regiment was in the severest fire during the "entire engagement, and lost CoL Slocum, Captain Tower, of company Lieut.

Prescott, of company and a number of privates. The correspondent of the Trbuns also writes: Col. Heintzelman moved with 5,000 men to the left the road, as a feint to draw the enemy to that Col. Hunter witn his division, 6,000 more, moved to the right. The central column, of men.

was to commence the conflict on the road to Manassas Junction. Gen. McDowell started an hoar after from Centreville in a carriage with Dr. Armsby; of Albany, Henry Bercans, Gen. father-in-law, and Caleb Lyon, of Lyonsdale.

After mounting the hill, two miles from Centreville, some. obstructions delayed the-centre column for a short time. It marched on until about at the Run, when the bridge over it, which had been mined and covered with tar, blew np and burst into -flames, as our troops approached. Here Jen. McDd well mounted his horse and joined his staff.

Cannonading had commenced on the left at eight o'clock, and gradually extended along the whole line, and continued from nine to ten o'clock almost without During this the bead of the column almost reached the Run, bat the bridge -having been destroyed, did not attempt to cross, but tamed to the right and appeared to be entirely sta- -tionary, head being a quarter a half of mile from the bridge from 10 to.12 o'clock, while the cannonading continued very lii.to 1 o'clock the cannonading wia-intermittent i The centre column moved about this time to the right, was joined by tns rtgut wing, and crossed at toe turnpike bridge-. Cms was held by a body of our troops that crossed last night ovtr a bridge which ha taku. with them ready constructed, to throw across the stream above. The left column of Col. Hein'zelmankept up the feint -by occasional coanonading, while 1,000 of his men, wi axes, were cutttn th.ir way through the very deasa woods, making a road atd marching to cut off the coaxmuaitja tion by rail to--Richmond.

Col. Lleiatzelmaa had carried the heights, which they had neglected to lortify, and was doing terrible exeeu-' tion among the rebels at Manasas inaction itself. An observer, judged that it would ordinarily take three months to do whit thess lumbermen did in half a day. At 1 o'clock six points were strongly attacked by forces, and heavy cannonading at all sras going on. During the whole of the engagement the rebels were retreating, but stubbornly -nd determined, resistance: At' and the various regiments of his command are resuming their former positions.

All apprehensions for the safety of the Capital are deemed groundless in Government circles, IN alarm need be felt on that score.

Some had their full uniforms and accoutraments others were minus guns, knapsacks, Not a few had thrown off their coats and were stampeding it in their shirt sleeves; a good many were shoeless and hatless, walking lame from sore feet and apparently much fatigued. As the day advanced the number of these stragglers increased, some arriving in bo Jiesof twenty to fifty, and up to a hundred and fifty. They appeared completely disorganized and at sea, withont any one to command or as-eume control over them. In almost every street, at the corners, in hotels and other pub- lie houses they were congregated. Wherever a few or many such betook themselves, large groups of anxious spectators clustered around -to.

hear incidents "of the fight. Scarcely one could be found to tell the same story alike, whilst many were eloquent in narrating daring exploits of their own or of the companies or the regiments to which they belonged. It would not have been diflieulc for a credulous individual to imagine they were all heroes. They were by their own showing the last men to run, but by some skillful engineering the first to reach Washington. It was really ridiculous to hear their improbable stories, i have no doubt imagination painted many wonderful scenes to their eyes so vividly that tbey mistook the shadow for the substance.

To make the best of this feature of events, it was oEe of unmistakable demoralization. I suppose, speaking within reasonable bounds, not less than three to four thousand of such troops made their appearance at varions times' in Washington to-dy. It was evident that they were much fatigued, and laboring under great consternation. Many of them told truthful, and ceitainly very pitiful tales. It was heart-rending to hear of the slaughter and suffering of their companions in arms, of hairbreadth escapes, wonderful exploits, Not a few wefe especially severe upon their commanding (militia) officers, asserting they first flinched and run.

Imputations of this kitdwere loud and strong. One fact is certainly very these soldiers, by their wonderfnl tales, aided greatly in prodacing alarm and excitement. To so great an extent, did this exist that the government found it necessary to take meaus to prevent them cross- ing over the river. Parts of several regiments, including a portion of the New York Fire Zouaves, companies and parts of companies, without discipline or command, took possession of the board tents in Franklin Square," formerly occupied by the Twelfth New York volunteers, Col. Butterfield's regiment.

They had nothing to eat, and seemed dependent upon public gratuity. In a word, and with--out further detail, speaking truthfully, I never beheld so utterly a demoralized, so forlorn a scene. Quite a number of captains, lieutenants and officers ct lower grade, were also amongst this heterogenous military melange. An officer of the regular army, high in rank, a graduate of Weet Point, who went through the Mexican war, and a soldier in all respects, who commanded five companies of cavalry, and was in the hottest of the fight on Sunday, from its commencement to the ending, gave me some reliable particulars, and a very intelligible account of the whole affair so far as it came under his notice. The Federal troops coming into battle were much fatigued from want of sleep and severe marebirg.

They came up well at first and did good service, generally speaking, at the onset. The attack upon Boll's Run battery was vigorous, and, after much hard fighting, successful. It wa carried with heavy loss. The field artillery aid good ser also the siege guns. This being taken, the enemy retreated, apparently a short distance, assuming another position.

He was pursued with spirit by the advarice troops, and again attacked. however, was replied to by another masked battery pouring -its deadly vollies into the federal ranks, causing terrible slaughter, Efforts were made to deploy and out flank, but in so doing another concealed battery gave nttice only of its secret location by a blaze of fire atd iron hail. When it was suppressed, Bull Run and two other similar, but even more formidable batteries were secured and the Confederates retiring, they only retreated in decoy, drawing our troops after them, to deal out death from another unseen battery. By this time, some of the regiments, Eeveral charges haying been made with comparative success gave signs of falterin They seemed confused and panic stricken. Their commanders partook of the same feelia and either from want of military experience or proper control over their men, could not irep them in line.

Officers, however, of other divisions were seen and heard urging their m-n onward, -whist the enemy appeared greatl disabled. Disorder, however, became apparent, and this quickly manifested itself in some regiments giving way. Others soon after followed, which, doubtless, being observed by the animated them with renewed courage. A turning point here took place. Reinforce ment3 came up, cavalry and infantry, with strong artillery, when the Federal troops were drawn back until all they had gained in taking Bull's Run was lose From this time the assault grew more vigorous.

The alarm gained greater intensity, and the falling back and consternation of the Federals increased. Whole regiments now broke and fled, some one way, some another, in irregular, confused retreat. The pursuit and fighting was kept up until demoralization became so patent and unconquerable that divisions under command of gallant, experienced officers, ready and willing to contest every inch of ground, seeing noihing else remained for them save unconditional surrender or utter annihilation, were dbliged to retire. Thus the whole army become amoving, confused mass, indescribable, towards Centreville. Baggage wagons, ambulances, horses, artillery, cavalry, infantry everything was in motion, and in such disorder as to challenge all power of controlling it.

The field batteries, owing to unfavorable ground, could with difficulty be moved, though the officers and some of the men remained by until hope vanished, nobly performing their duty. Some six or seven pieces of Sherman's celebrated battery, it is believed, were saved, and probably a half dozen guns of the Rhode Island. CoL, Sprague acted bravely, displaying great skill and ceur-age. The six large size guns, wMch had done great execution, were also abandoned and became a prize of the On the retreat men could be "seen running in terrible disorder, throwing away their guns, knapsacks and ether cumbersome trappings. Some, of the regiments, however, behaved better, and retired in as good order as could be expected under the circumstances.

The road or track of this retrogade movement presented a scene beggaring description. It was filled with baggage wagons, drivers frightened and flying at full speed. Wagons were here and there turned over, blocking up the road, whilst-teams were left unprotected, destitute of Ambulances were likewise 'in a similar condition, with boxes and stores of every description at all-points. Teamsters were frightened terribly, and to the noise occasioned by them, whether true or not, is attributed the first cause of the panic. Many soldiers certainly put the blame on their shoulders.

All along the route, from the scene of action to' Alexandria, was but a repetition of what is above described. Unfortunately the dead were; to a great ex- -ten, left upon the field, untouched, and the' wounded and dying withont a kindly hand, to care for them. The scene of distress and tne groans of the wounded, were truly awful. Dead horses, dead and disabled men of both sides lay strewn upon the same field together. Retreating, for some distance, the Federal army was followed by the Confederate "Black Guard," composed of some five hundred cavalry arid artillery, who as they fled mowed them down in great numbers.

The artillery would move onward in the rear to a convenient range, unlimber their guns, discharge volley after volley, whilst cavalry would rush troops with deadly effect. This was continued for several miles. In the meantime large numbers of prisoners could have been, and It Is supposed were, captured. If the federals were not thus taken prisonsrs, it, was only because they were not wanted. 1 Whilst the hottest of.

the fight was raging, adetachment of regular cavalry brought in -five isecessian prisoners, one of whom was Major- General George H. HvSteUart, of. Bal-. timore. He proclaimed: his neutral or nou-.

Ia By last Night's Washington Train. The Retreat Two Rhode Island in Return to- A Rhode IfcJand Battery Captured and Recaptured The. Killed and Wounded, We mnke up the following from the Washington Republican (extra) of last evening: The two Rhode Island regiments reached here at 10 o'clock this, morning, and marched out to their camp, Gen. Burnside at their head Gen. Burnside has his hat completely torn to pieces with bullets, but is himself uninjured.

Among the regiments that suffered most are --the New York 2d, t39tb, 79th and the Fire Zouaves. Nothing like the exact number can be ascertained of coarse. The loss of the Connecticut regiment was also quite heavy. Our men all fought with a zeal which knew no bounds, and inaae terrible inroads upon the ranks of the enemy, and only when their am- munition had given out, and when there wis-Z0 a chance of aocsmalishing any- tbhig, oid they taKe a oacnwu.ru sp. Slocum, of the second- Rhode Island regiment is not killed, as at first He received a severe, though not dangerous snapshot wound in the leg, and is now at the In-fiimary, on street.

The Fire Zouaves made three distinct charges on a battery, with but one regiment to flank them. The Zouaves fought with a desperation never before known, driving all before them; but not being properly flanked they were compelled to retreat with a loss of between two and three hundred killed and wounded. They were last 6 ordered back to this At 11 o'clock this morning about three hundred had returned. The New York sixty-ninth and seventy-ninth also behaved with the greatest gallantry, taking battery after battery in rapid succession, and with great loss. Much blame is attached to the field officers: for not furnishing proper flanking forces when batteries were ordered to be tafeea.

We refrain om mention ng any names until fuller and more reliable iniormaiion can be obtained. We are assured by taose who were in the "hickest of the fight, and nearest the enemy, that their los is immense. Behind their batteries the dies of their killed completely cov ered the giound iu every direction; but reinforcements were t'arown into their entrench, xnents so rapidly that the number kilid would hMrdly be missed by those a little distance off. The battle continued until most of the ammunition expended by Tyler's division, and the enemy's cavalry had made sad havoc ouotirline3. Finding it impossible to nold their ground, and after remaining until it was evident lhat-to Temain would be suicide, several of the Federal regiments rapidly retreated.

The battery of the Second Rhode Island regiment was fcurrounded by the enemy's cavalry and many of the members being killed, but they afterwards rallied and retook it with much loss; losing during the engagement air but pice or ten men. Alter retaking the battery, it was found that the bridge had been blockaded by wagons, which had to be cleared; the men then turned in with, a will and succeeded in getting 'their pieces out, bat on account of not having the horses, taey left all their guns with the exception of one, a few miles this side of the run. It is probable that they have by this time fallen into the hands of the enemy. The death of Colonel Cameron, of the Highlanders, is confirmed. The Ohio regiments were advanced on a masked battery, lrom which they drove off the rebels, killing a large number of them and losing many of their own men.

The first regiment was then advanced another battery, by a flank movement, the second remaining as a support to Whipple's light artillery, which, was engaged with the battery. The enemy's cavalry, by an opposite flank movement, then charged the second regiment, drivina them off and capturing the guns. which had been. hastily turned upon them but without much succes. Among the killed are about 160 United States marines.

The New York seventy-first also suffered very greatly. Chaplain Lahcey, of the second Connecticut, is among the wounded. He is now in this city, and was among the first to take a rebel prisoner. i General McDowell was reinforced by 10,000 men before morning, and has made a stand near Centreville, which is the rallying point for the other divisions of our troops. At five o'clock yesterday afternoon, General McDowell ordered a retreat to Centreville.

He had a reserve at that place to cover the retreat, who were drawn op line of battle. We hear that General Scott afterwards gave an order Tylei's division to retreat to this city, wt iih was followed, and the men are now rapidly coming in. Lieut Colonel Gardner, of the Georgia foTceF, is among our prisoners. He wae bre-vFttt-a by our government for services in Blexico. The aid of General Beauregard was tat en atcne time, but it is believed that he has eince escaped.

Sherman's battery is undoubtedly taken. Gen. ifhfrman is reported killed, but we as yet have no confirmation of the fact. One O' Clock, P. M.

We bear various conflicting reports from Centerville, but it i3 generally believed that our troops aTe now rallying to that point. A further advance towards the Junction will not be made for several days, unless something unforeseen should occur. It is expected that the District militia will be ordered to hold themselves under arms. More About the Stampede. WHAT AJf ETEWrrSTESS SAW.

A correspondent of the Washington Star, who wisneesed the stampede of the teamsters and soldiers, writes as follows: Passing along the road towards Fairfax Court House we saw the carriage way completely strewn with different articles thrown away by soldiers and teamsters. The panic among the teamsters was increased by an accidental explosion of some cartridges, and they apparently thinking the enemy was upon them hastened to throw away bags of grain, blankets, barrels of provisions, knapsacks, spades, which were broken by the heavy wheels, and presented the most singular medley imaginable. It is estimated that not les3 than S5.000 worth of grain was thu3 thro wa away within a distance of four or five miles. In many instances the-drivers cut the horses loose from the vehicles when there was a block, and hurried on. Soma of them actually prick- -ed their horses with bowie knives to accelerate their speed.

The squads of demoralized soldiers were meantime adding their quota, to the panic, by thr win away guns, knapsacks, trying to mount upon and into private carriages, as a means of escape. Half way to. Fairfax' Court House a dragoon met the line of fugitives and ordered all to go back, that large reinforcements were hurrying up, and that all who attempted flight would bi BhOt. i 1 I a The First and Second New Jersey Regiments now approached from the' of the Court House, turning the heads of the teams, setting the stream of fugitives back upon Centreville at the point of the bayonet. Later in the evening ihi3 check upon the fugitives seems to have been relaxed, for.

about ten o'clock a body, perhaps two or three thousand strong of them, reached Fairfax Court House from Centreville wsy, and proceeded on in the direction of Washington. which stretched out its straggling length for along distance, making it appear much more numerous than it really was, doubtless caused the report that our whole, forces were in rapid-retreat from Centreville, which was not at all the case. This party, or stragglers was com--posed of brcken-np, officerless, or otherwise -disorganized regiments, who had done some of the hardest fighting of the day. There were many of the 69th, who sustained bravely througb the day, and who, "mourned the logs of their Lieut. Hag--, gerty; the Fire Zouaves," according to general testimony, performed prodigies of valor, and who made five distinct -charges in.

Much caution was exercised by the troops 'In passing these points, for fear of tn ambuscade, and Captain Thos. F. Meagher, who accompanied the 09thi detachment, caused scouts to be sent out to reconnoiter the neighborhood of these suspicions looking traps. The probability is, however, that the newly felled trees were designed only to impede a retreatof the Federal forces, and were jelled by'secessionists residing in those localities.

I ed-for this city's security on the other side of. the Potomac. In the belief of Gen. Scott they are impregnable, and this city is as secure from the enemy as it was a fortnight agor quite notwithstanding yesterday's disasters at a point twenty-eight or thirty miles distant from us. We may not.

inappropriately add that at 4 P. M. ytsterday the victory was clearly ours. The retreat movement is ascertained to have been caused by an accidental and trifiing panic in one of the regiments, to which it spread from confusion among its own teamsters. The fresh troops under General Mansfield and those of General McDowell's reserve not in the engagement, together, make an army quite as large, we apprehend, as that under Gen.

McD. in yesterday's engagement. From sunset last evening up to this hour they have been steadily getting into position, as amauer of precaution, and we ha ye ascer-' tained that measures have been taken ti coa-, censratfc here still another great army, now scattered at various points distant less than twenty-four hours from us by rail. They will doubtless commence pouring into Washington within a few hours. According to the most reliable information received at headquarters, the enemy mad no effort whatever to pursue our retreating army.

Gov. Sprague, of Rhode here this morning with remnants of his two-regiments, and at once retired to his room- at Willards', being prostrated by fatigue. The First and Second Rhode Island regiments came in abDut 10 o'clock, about one-hali tfce number beiug in the line. Their splendid battery, with the exception of one gun, is utterly destroyed. The Second New Hampshire regiment, which numbered 1,010 men, arrived soon afterwards, bringing in between GOO and 700 men.

The Fire Zouaves which have got here thus far number 150 men. The Twenty-second, Thirtieth and Thirty-third New York regiments received orders to advance over the river, and left camp ubout 9 o'clock last night. They returned between 11 and 12, their orders having been counter-manded. Furttcr Interesting Details from Washington. Another edition of the Star, received late last night, contains the following: EEOEGANlZATIOIT OF THE AKMY OF THB POTOMAC.

The army of the Potomac will be immediately reorganized upon a basis of over 100,000 men. Regiments are offering and being accepted with such rapidity as to insure, this beieg accomplished in a very few days. Gen. McClellau has been summoned by the government from Western Virginia to take command of the army of the Potomac at Washington. Reinforcements telegraphed for on Sunday night are now on their way hitter, from various directions, in large force.

KKTUEHISa SOLD1EE8. -During the morning the soldiers engaged in the battle of yesterday were straggling into the city, by way of the Long Bridge, in squads. A company of U. S-, marines, numbering about 35 men, came over, reporting the loss in killed, so far as they could learn, of their force of 45, but many missing. In all of the marine force which have arrived here thus far, there are about 75 or 100, out of near 400 that went forward.

About 11 o'clock this morning several bun-. dred horses were sent over to our forces on the other side, to supply the place of those killed and lost in yesterday's engagement. Delay in getting over was occasioned by ths advance of the stragglers and teams above alluded to. Stragglers of the First Michigan regiment continued to arrive in town all the They make their headquarters at Woodward's buildings. There are in all of those arrived about fifty.

The Second New York regiment arrived in the city by way of the Georgetown Aqueduct They have lost about 150, in killed, wounded and missing. The regiment i3 in good coadi-tion, and the men in fine spirits. They led the advance and assisted to protect the retreat, and were desirous of remaining behind with Gen. McDowell, but were nevertheless ordrr. ed to barrack in the city, having lost their camp equipage, which had been sant far forward, to be out of the way of the field maneu-VTes.

THB FEDERAL LOSSES. We believe that our loss In artillery ha.3 been about 30 pieces, smong them Ricketts', Hunt's, Carlisle's, Arnold's and the Rhode Island battery, except one gun. Most of them were abandoned in the retreat, the roads being so blocked up as that they could not be got away. At o'clock this morning, no advance of the enemy was visible in the vicinity of Fairfax Court House. Major James S.

Wadsworth, of New York, one of Gen. McDowell's aids, refused to leave Fairfax Court House this morning, declaring his purpose to be to remain with, the wounded. He was at his own expense supplying those around him with everything they required that could be purchased at Fairfax Court House. The great mass of our wounded were neces-' sarily left (as usually happens in a retreat) on the field or wherever they were first carried. Our loss in small arms is believed to be about 5,000.

We however think it will reach 7,500. In wagons the loss has been very small, as but few moved with the army, and most of those proved to have started on the retreat from Centreville in time to get ahead of the pressure of the confused crowd. The loss of horses was even more inconsiderable than that of wagons. LATER PARTICULARS OV THB BATTLE SUM-BER OF KILLED AND WOUHDED. General Schenck was neither killed nor taken prisoner, but was slightly wounded.

Two. ol his regiments, the Second Ohio and Second New York, (Tompkins,) -are said to have been among the first to give way to the panic. The panic was commenced in a light battery commanded by a fat lieutenant. He was proceeding under to flank one of-the enemy's a detachment of their cavalry made a dasb at them. Instead of ua-' limbering and essaying to receive the charge' with grape or he turned and in-' stantly fled, leaving two of his pieces on the field.

The Second Connecticut and the Minnesota (of Gen. Schenck'e brigade, which were exposed to the fire of the battery which the fat Lieutenant had started to flank,) then broke and run into the Instantaneously it seemed that the panic was communicated in' all directions. i The most careful Investigations that it has been possible to make, so far, lead to the belief that our total loss in killed and wounded is between 3,500 and 3,000, while that of the ene-. my is supposed to be equally lirge, if not larger: as, up' to 4 P. whenvthe panic' oc-'.

'enrred, the advantages were nearly all on our Bide. Mr. Russell (of the London Timss) is said to estimate it at not more than 1,200. We hear, incidentally ere going to press, 'that the real loss of the two Rhode Island 1 regiments is not more than 100 in all IHOIDKSTS OF TBI BATTLE.

Among the disasters of the-day were two 'very 'serio'as ones from' the firing into each other by mistake of our own regiments. The eighth New York regiment was badly cut up thus by either the fourteenth, or twenty, fifth regimeat of the same State. The sixty-ninth; New York regiment had one company destroyed almost to a man by a fire from, oar own forces. Col.
