12 I a 45 58 fil 30 IS 39 4 53 43 3 SPIRIT OP THE PRESS. THE ISSUES IN THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR. (From the United Stalei Economist.) Tho foreign press has branded our unfortunate struggle, as a war withi ut issues." Noibing could more plainly show the sad ignorance of American affdits among the public writers of Europe, tl nn this strange imputation. Is it a thing credible, a priori, that a nation notoriously the most pacific of all on the face of the earth should enter upon a terrible domestic strife, -without any principle or any interest to Support the adoption of such an unwelcome arbitrament Are the people of America, pre-eminently utilitarian, and averse to everything that could interrupt the progress of their material prosperity, the people who, of all others, would he likely to he found deliberately risking the expenditure of hundreds of millions, in a wsr without a cause and without an object The war was underte ken with no lower object than this the preservation of our nationality. Every citizen felt that if the doctrine of tecession were permitted to pass unchallenged, and especially if it were allowed to be curried out in such a highhanded manner as was attempted in the cotton states, then the union is the least substantial Of all governments nnder the sun then we have no nation but a mere incohesive confederation of petty states, which may at any dsy split up into petty fragments, and involve the whole continent in anarchical chaos.

The doctrine of secession, os propounded and practised by the lcaieis of the rebellion, is therefore justly regarded as a decisive blow at our naiioBality and the war is undertaken for no purpose than to disarm secession and to save the nation. The people feel that the Lnion must represent something on which they cn relv as stable beyond all possibility of overthrow, relating to Bankruptcy and Insolvency will he productive of important advantage to the trade and commerce of her subjects. Her Majesty has given her ready assent to aets for consolidating and assimilating the criminal law of Ene-land and Ireland, and for promoting the revision of the statute law. ajesty has given her assent to important acts, which sh trusts will have the effect of opening more largely employment in tbs public service to the European and native inhabitants of India, of improving the means of legislation, of furthering the Cnds of justice, and of promoting the contentment and well-being of her Majesty's Indian subjects. Her Majesty has assented with pleasure to the act for the improvement of harbours on the coasts of the United Kingdom and for relitving merchant shipping from passing tolls, and alao to the act for improving the administration of the law relating to the relief and the removal of the poor.

Her Majesty trusts that the act for rendering more easy arrangements connected with the drainage of land will assist agricultural improvements in many parts of the United Kingdom. II er Majest has gladly given her assent to many other measures of public usefulness, the results of your labours during the session now brought to its close. Her Majesty has observed with heartfelt satisfaction the of lovalty, of order, and of obedience to the law which prevails throughout all her dominions and she trusts that, by wise legislation and a just administration of the law, the continuance of this happy state of things will be secured. On returning to your respective counties you will still have important public duties to perform, and her Mejesty fervently prays that the blessing of Almighty God may attend your exertions, and may guide them to the' attainment of the objects of her Majesty's constant solicitude the welfare and happiness of her people.

Up to the hour of three o'clock p.m. it was generally understood that we had hemmed in the enemy entirely, and that they were gradually retiring that Colonel Hunter bad driven them back in the rear, that Colonel Heinzehnan'a command was meeting with every success, and that it required but the reserve of General Tyler's division to push on to Manassas Junction.

From the statements of a prisoner, it appears that our artillery has created great havoc among the rebels, of whom there are from 30,000 to 40,000 in the field under command of General Beauregard, while they have a reserve of 75,000 at the Junction. The position of the enemy extended in three lines in the form of a triangle, the apex fronting the centre of our column. The area seems to have been filled with masked batteries. At seven o'clock this evening guns were still heard firing at short intervals. THE NORTHERNERS' ULTIMATE DEFEAT.

Washikgtom, July 22. After the latest information was received from Centreville, at half-past seven o'clock last night, a series of events took place, in the in tensest degree disastrous. Many confused statements are prevalent, but enough is known to warrant the statement that we have suffered in a degree which has cast a gloom over the remnants of the army, and excited the deepest melon choly throughout Washington. The carnage is tremendously heavy on both sides, and on oars it is represented as frightful. We were advancing and taking their masked batteries gradually bnt surely, and driving the enemy toward Manassas Junction, when the enemy seemed to have been reinforced by General Johnston, who, it is understood, took command, and immediately commenced driving us back, when a panic nmong our tioops suddenly occurred, and a regular stampede took place.

It is thought that General M'Dowell undertook to make a stand at or about Centreville bnt the panic was eo fearful that the whole army became demoralised, and it was impossible to check them, either at Osntreville or at Fairfax Court House. General M'Dowell intended to make another stand at Fairfax Cuurt House but, our troops being in full retreat, could not accomplish th object. Beyond Fairfax Court House the retrat to kept up until the men reached their regular encampments, a of whom returned to them, but a still largsr portion coming inside the intrenchments. A large numbr of the troops in their retreat fell on the wayside from exhaustion, and are scattered along the route all the way from Fairfax Court House, The road from Bull Run was strewn with knapsacks, arms, Ac Some of onr troops deliberately threw away their guns and appurtenances the better to facilitate their movements. The latter part of the army, it is said, made their retreat in order.

General M'Dowell was in the rsar of the retreat, exerting himself to rally his men, but only with partial success. He was completely exnausted, having slept but little for three nights. His orders on the field, did not at all times reach those for whom they were intended. It is supposed that the force sent out against onr troops consisted, according to a prisoner's statement, of about 80,000 men, including a large number of cavalry. He further says, that owing to reinforcements from Richmond, and other points, the enemy's for was men.

According to the statement of two Fire Zouaves, they have only about two hundred men left from the slaughter, while the Sixty-ninth and other regiments frightfully suffered in killed and wounded. Sherman's, Carlisle's, Griffin's, and the West Point tones were taken by the enemy, and tho eight siege and thirty-two rifled cannon, the latter being too cumbrous to remove. They were two miies the other side of Centreville. Such of the wounded as were brought to the Centre- a 1 2 1 1 2 111 1 1 1 2 Lear a- m. a.

DEFEAT AND FLIGHT OF THE FEDRAL ARMY. The following lelepram, published on Monday, though to seme extent inconect, givts a general destription of tie great event The Federal army, under General M'Dowell, has sustained a disastrous defeat. Early on the morning of the 21st, the whole of the Federal army advanced on the Con federate batteiies at Bull's Run, three miles from Mana-'sas Junction.

Great bravery was displayed by the Federfl troopSj and after nine hours' fighting they succeeded in capturing three of the Confederate batteries, but with heavy loss on both aides. At this time General Bcauiegnrd is reported to have been reinforced by General Johnstone with men. The Confederates then aiticked the Union army, and drove them in disorder from the field. A panic from some cause seized the Federal tT.ops, and the whole army fled io open disorder towards Washington. General M'Dowell endeavoured to rally hia troops at Centreville and Fairfax Court-house, but 'ound it impossible to check their retreat.

The road from Centreville to Alexandria was strewn with men wonrded or isllen from exhaustion. The Confederates pnrsocd as far as Fairfax. The whole of the Federal ait'Te-y of rifled cannoD, and ih' Rhode Island battery, with largo quantises of arms, s'ore, were captured by ibe Confederates. PALLIATING CIRCUMSTAXCLa Washington, Jt'LY '2'2. It is estimated that only 20,000 in all of our troops were engased in the b.rttle yes terday.

and onlv 15.000 at anv one rime, includinsr C0j oi 700 of the Rhode Island 1st and 2nd Regiments. All communication with Alexandria has stopped, to prevent the soldiers from crossing over. The returned Boldiers are perfectly worn out. Many of them state that they went to the breakfasting. They were all engaged at the time, while tiic rebel strength was supplied with fresh forces.

The whole battle on tha centre column was within a radius of a mile. It is believed that the rebels abandoned some of their batteries for the purpose of decoying the attacking force to advance to a position where a double fire could be directed at them anJ sweep their hues. In the grand retreat many of the Garibaldians acted like savages, firing in every direction. On their ran to Fairfax, country houses along the road were invaied, and innocent persons maltreated. They seem to have lost al' presence of mind in their rage over their defeat.

An agent of the Associated Press, who left Centreville clck this morning, brings information in rdatioI to at that time and subsequent to the retreat. Shersnan's Battery, or a greater portion of it, has retimed to the city. The reason why the other batteries were taken is that the horses attached, as weU as th reserve horses, were shot down, consequently the cannon could not be removed. Soldiers stationed near Bull Crosl Roads report that 500 of the enemy's cavalry have, sine yesterday, been seen within two miles of that place. The stragglers in this city are being gathered up and restored to their respective companies.

Some few got int the city after midnight. The number of killed and wounded is gradually decrease ing. Six hundred Zouaves have returned. RENEWED PREPARATIONS. Washington, Jcly 22.

General M'Clellan has been summoned by the Government from "Western Virginia to Washington to take the command of the army of the Potomac General Rosencrantz takes his place in command oi the army of Western Virginia. The corps cTarmee at Washington is to be instantly reorganised and increased. The orders have already been given. Offers of regiments already raised, and being raised, will be accepted with such rapidity as to ensure that will be accomplished in a few days. Large reinforcement from various districts aw on the way thither, orders having been telegraphed for them yesterday while the battle was in progress.

The Government entertains no apprehension for the safety of the capital. Preparations not oidy for the defensive but for the renewal of offensive operations are going on vigour-ously. General M'Dowell has returned to his head-quarters at Arlington Heights. The regiments comprising his army will resume their position. Most of them have already done so.

EXTENT OF THE LOSSES. Washington' Baltihokk), July 22. 1 havs spent eight hours in carefully questioning the returned eoldiers in varions parts of the city. Our losses are far less severe than was at first reported by scared civUiana and running soldiers. There are probably not killed and perhaps not 200.

For example the 2nd Connecticut Regiment, returned, which was renoTtedin tha morning as badly cut up, lost but a dozen. The New Haven Grej's havo all returned unharmed, yet this regiment was expo.ed to frequent volleys of cannon and musketry. The New York 7ist also reported aa tised up, suffered but little, and so of othars. Few of the vast number of balls fired bv the rebels took effact. On the contrary, all the instances detailed by onr men show thai the enemy suffered severely.

SECESSION ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE Richmond (via New Orleans), July 22. The report Of the killed and wounded was so unreliable last night, in Btatement, owing to the confusion following the victory at Manassas, I refrained mentioning them, being fearful of giving causeless pain to anxious hearts. General Beauregard is safe. General EeauregaTtl's horse wa. shot under him.

General Johnson commanded the left, where the enemy made their fiercest attack. General Beauregard commanded the right, President Davis reached the field at noon, and took command of the centre. When tha left was pressed the severest, the centre engaged a portion of the enemy's forces and decided the fortunes of tne day. No other reliable reports are received, but ore hourly expected. Richmond, July 21, via Nkw Orleans, July 22.

A fight commenced near Manassas at four o'clock tins morning, and became general about twelve. It continued till about seven, when the Federalists retired, leaving us in possession of the field. Sherman's battery of light artillery was taken. It was a torziblo battle, with great daughter on both sides. LocisriLLE, cly 22.

A special despatch to the Nash-ville Union, from Manassas 18th, says that at tho fight at Bull Run, General Beauregard commanded in person. The enemy was repulsed three times, in great confusion and loss. The Washington Artillery, of New Orleans, with eeven guns, engaged Sherman's 15 guns, and after making the latter change position 15 times, silenced and forced them to retire. Large quantities of arms were taken. Our loss was trifling.

Major Harrison and two privates were killed; Captains Dulaney, Chittman, and three privatoa were wounded. STATEMENT OF A SPECTATOR. The A ev York I'ost giveB the statement of a spectator of the battle, to the effect that the single cause of the panic was the charge of a large body of the rabe! cavalry among the teamsters and straggling soldiers, who were in the rear of our forces between Bull Run and Centreville. This charge started the notion that our army had been overwhelmed, and that the enemy was driving in full force on onr reserves. Immediately the unarmed soldiers aud teamsters ran and spread the alarm at Centreville, when the order was given for a retreat.

All the organised companies withdrew in perfect order. When General McDowell found his reserve was retreating it was too late to correct the mistake, and he commanded the main body to fall back, which it did quietly and in order. The men had been fighting all day, without water or food, and wer completely exhausted. They would have been called) back from active service in a short time even if the panic had not occurred. Onr losses have been greatly exaggerated.

It is now ascertained that the killed fell short of 1,000. The rebels did not follow our retreating forces beyond Bull Run. Colonel Einstein, of the Penn. 26th, returned to the battlefield about eleven o'clock on Sunday night, and brought off six pieces of artillery, which he delivered to the commanding officer on the Potomac last evening. He reports the field clear, and not an enemy in sight.

The President and Secretary of Wax are vigorously at work re-organising a powerful army. Within the last 24 hours over 60,000 fresh men, with a number of batteries of artillery, have been accepted. A number of regiments have arrived, and every day will bring immense reinforcements to the national capital. Ten new regiments will be in Baltimore by evening. The response from every quarter has been most gratifying and truly patriotic.

At eight o'clock on Monday morning Centreville was almost deserted. All at the hospital who could limp started away. The road from Centreville to Fairfax Courthouse was covered with evidences of the retreat. At Fa'r-fax Court-house the inhabitants were p'undering tho deserted baggage. General Blenker destroyed all the important bridges to prevent a sudden pursuit.

Tho loss is estimated at not over five hundred. A private taken during the battle stated that he had no fears of the result, and that Davis was in command of the right and left wing, tmd about 100,000 men. A special despatch to the foiif, Bays that Senator Line of Indiana estimates our loss at 1,500 killed and wounded. The regiments which suffered most were ths New York Fire Zouaves, 69th, Conn. 1st, and Mass 1st.

Mr. Raymond telegraphs to the 2ew York Times, as follows It was now half-past two o'clock. I was at the advanced point of the front of our column, somo hundred rods beyond the woods, in which the few troops then there were drawn up, when 1 decided to drive back to the town, for the purpose of sending you my despatch. As I passed up the road the balls and shell from the enemy began to fall with more than usual rapidity. I did not see tho point from which they came but meeting Capt.

Ayrcs, lie said he was about to bring up his battery, supported by the Ohio Brigade, under General Schenck, to repel a rumoured attempt of cavalry to outtlank this column. As I went forward he passed down. General Schenck's brigade at once drawn up across the road, and Capt. Ayros's guns were planted in a knoll at the left, when a powerful body of reMs, with a heavy battery, came down from the direction of Bull Run, and engaged this fjree with tremendous effect. I went to Centreville, sent off my despatch, and started with all speed to return, intc nding to po with our troops upon what had been the hotly contested field, never doubting for a moment that it would r- main in th ir hands.

I had gone but a quarter of mile when we met a great number of fugitives, and our carriage soon became entangled in a mass of baggage waggon, the officer in ciiarge of which told me it was to go in that direction, as our troops were retreating. Not crediting the story, which was utterly inconsistent with at I had sueh but a little time before, I continued to push on. I roo'i met Quartermaster Stretson, of the Fire Zouaves, who toid me, bursting in'o tears, that his regiment been utterly cut to pieces, that the Colonel and Lieut-Colonel "were both killed, and that onr troops had actually bejn repulsed. I still tried to proceed, but the advancing columns render, it imi ossible, and I turned a'tout. Leaving my I went to a high point of ground and saw, by the cloud of dust wuich rose over eich or the three roads by whicti the tmve columns oi the army had advanced, that they were being pursued.

1 wahed half an hour or so, to observe the troops and batteries as they arrived, and then started for Washington, to send my despatch and write this letter. As I came past tha Mil on which the Secessionists had their intreachments less than a week ago, I saw our foice taking up positions for a defence if they should be asr.iled. About a mile from tb-s side Cortreville, a stampede tc ok Place among the teamster-; and others, which threw everything into the cnfnsion, and inflicted some very serious injuries.

a ionajife nationality, a home for all their succeeding KenerBtions, a cohesive and indestructible government, capable of contlucting the population of this continent to the most splendid dtstiny realised in the history of civilisation, and it is because they clearly foresee that to legalise secession would prove ruinous to all this, that they have reluctantly, though resolutely, taken up arms to extinguish the accursed doctrine for ever. There is no one theory that could possibly prove so fatal to the existence of the republic, aa the heresy of secession. Its essential tendency is to disintegrate; and not to the disintegration of the Federal Union merely, bnt of the states themselves, and of the towns and counties of the states, until there is no tie by which society can be held together, and the whole population is reduced to barbarism. The greatness of the republic has been built up on the principle of amalgamation and, by a converse process, its destruction would bo inevitably accomplished by the principle of secession. That word Union stands for more than the mere name of the republic it represents the great principle on which our national existence and power are based.

The inauguration of war against the rebel states means nothing more than this, then that the principle of union shall be preserved intact, and with it the perpetuity of onr nationality. There are, however, other issues which, though less prominent, are yet inseparably associated with the war. This is a rebellion against the sovereignty of majorities. Mr Lincoln was eletted to the presidency by a legal majority of the people and yet it is declared by the seceders that his election is a justifiable cause of separation from tho Union. This is cleaily nothing less than a rejection of the only principle on which tho United States has been or can be governed.

It is, moreover, a denial of tho essential principles on which democratic institutions arc founded, tending directly towards an oligarchical domination. The government and the people of this country refuse to acknowledge the rebellion of any section base 1 on defeat in a constitutional election, and least of ail do they consent to allow that such a defeat is a sufficient ground for the secession of the defeated. Nor can it be said that such a refusal on the part of the government is an a coercion." It is but compelling the South to fulfil its agreement with the rest of the United The Southern States, in common with all otherp. have bound themselves by the constitution to submit in all governmental matters to the control of the legal majority and that, not merely when it might suit their purposes, hut at all times, and in perpetuity when, therefore, they refuse to Bubtnit to carry vut theit solemn covenaut with the rest of the States, tbej commit a flagrant injustice, and in so doing are rightfully subject to the use of force for compelling the iuitiiment of their compact. If they employ force in backing the renunciation of their engagements, they render their crime all the more flagrant, and only the more necessitate and justify the resort to arms on the part of the Federal government.

Another great issue involved in the war is the question of the national territories. This, in fact, may be said to he the secret cuuse of the whole affair. The South has suspected the North of a disposition to vote away from them for the purposes of free labour territory which the Southrons consider they have a right to for the use of slave labour. Hero again they show au indisposition to submit to the decision of the majority. The disposal of the Fedral domains, as well as all other matters, is required by the constitution, to which both North and South are equally consenting parties, to bo decided by the vote of the majority, and in no other way.

The Constitution makes, no such provision as that if the decision of the majority shall be displeasing to any part of tho Union, eucn section shall have the alternative of submitting or seceding. Cn the contrary, the only alternative presented is submission. And yet, before a majority has pronounced upon a division of the territories, aud on a bare jealousy that a majority may some Uay decide ad-veretly, we have a wholesale attempt at separation on the part ot the Southern States. A government that would tacitly submit to such injustice, such faithlessness, and such reckless precipitancy oa the part of a section of its people, is unworthy of beiug considered the protector of its own rights, and the friend of sound aud honourable "overnment. The loyal people of the United States think thus, and hence they are determined to extinguish this wicked rebellion.

IMPEKIAIi PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS Monday. The dying session was represented by the amount of business which was got through. Sixteen bills were read a third time and passed, and the Commons' amendments to the Royal Naval Reserve Bill wera considered and ac ceptcd. Lord Shaftesbury also obtained an agreement for an inquiry into the employment of children in trades and manufactories not regulated by Act of Parliament. All this business was transacted in one hour, from two to three o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS Mostdav. The Commons also sat from two to three o'clock, "but their labours were by no means so important in appearance as those of the Lords. The principal subject before the House was a complaint on the part of Alderman Copeland of the way in which the Ecclesiastical Commissioners transacted their business, and an admission was obtained from Sir George Grey that it was desirable that a Eelect committee should inquire into the matter. HOUSE OF LORDS. Tuesday.

PROROGATION OP PARLIAMENT. Both houses met for the purposes of prorogation. In the House of Lords, as is usual when the Queen is not present, the attendance of peers was very scanty.

The Lords Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, Earl of St.

AGRICULTURE. REVIEW OF TH CORN TRADE. The past week, with the exception of occasional showers was mostly fine and favourable to the crops. The hay harvest may now be considered as completed, varying much in the yield, but on the whole being about an average, and where the mowing was early a second cut is nearly ready, but perhaps nearly half tho crop lost colour by the fieoueDt rain, and some damaged. Harvest work has beguu in many places, and some Talavera wheat from Essex, weighing 63jlb to 641b per bushel, was sold on Friday iu London, at 72s per quarter.

No certain conclusion can yet be arrived at respecting the yield in this country, accounts continuing to vary very matertblly frim the same county but as new samples will soon be plentiful, a fair estimate will ere long be arrived at. There is little diifereuoe about spring corn, which continues to be well reported. Tho most important continental news is from France, where the exhaustion of the old stocks, as wtll as a poor yirld and quality of the new (where gathered), has brought a further important rhc and large demand ior flour aud wheat on our own stores, bet on the I direct orders to America and other places, no less than 15,000 quattera of the latter being taken by ou house for Nantes, in Bond, at from 50s to 5Ss per quarter in red spring and white qualities. Advices from the ceutre and south speak of a yield of only wo-thirds an average, hot the ncrthern depaitments are better, and in full harvest. Italy has quality, but perhaps an equal tletioiency, and the maize in the centre ii said fcd be lost ami Spain is below the usual quantity.

America still has stores of old on hand st low prices, and is in full ncrk with the otw crop, nearly if not quite as abundaat a2 the last. The sales noted last week were 62,150 quarters of wheat at 51s 2d, against 58,4 quarters in 1860. The Loudon averages wtre 5'is 3d on quarters. The impoits into the priacipal ports of Great Rrttain for the i vt-fik eodiug 24th Julv in wheat and flour, were equal to 160,540 quarters of wheat, of which quarters were colonial. Fobejgn.

The Paris flour market, notwithstanding some improvement in the weather, has continued advancing during the past week, the range of prices for tood marks being from 12 to 80 francs (46s 4d to 51s lJJ per 2801b English), aud choice SI to 82 Iratfcs per 159 kilos (552s 4d to 53s per 2801b.

The adjourned inquiry into the cause of the death of the twenty three men and boys who lost their lives in the Clay Cross, pita on the 11th of Jane laet, was brought to a conclusion, after a protracted investigation, st a late hour on Friday evening week, at Clay Cross, before Mr Bushby, corner for tho HisfnVt tr 1 suvuiumtuuuJucLWi ui mines Messrs.

A gloom hangs over Washington which is indescribable. THE ROUT DESCRIBED. WASirrNGTON, July 22. Tho following is an account of the inauguration of the panic which has resulted so disastrously to our troops. It receives unusual interest from the subsequent events.

All our military operations went swimmingly on, and Colonel Alexander was about erecting a pontoon across Bull Run. The enemy were seemingly retreat, and their batteries being unmasked one after another, when a terrific consternation broke out among the teamsters who had advanced immediately after the body of the army, and lined the Warrenton road. Their consternation was shared in by numerous civilians who were on the ground, and for a time it seemed as if onr whole army was in retreat, Many baggage waggons were emptied and their horses gallopped across the fields, all the fences of which were torn down to allow a more rapid retreat. For a time a perfect panic pnsvjulcd, which communicated itself to the vicinity of Centreville, and every available conveyance was seized upon by agitated civilians. Wonndcd soldiers cried on the road side fur assistance, but the alarm was so great that numbers were passed by.

Several similar alarms occurred on previous occasions when a change of bntttries rendered the retirement of the artUlery on our part necssary. and it is most probable that the alarm was owing to the same fact. The right was in good order. The battery erected on the hill side, directly opposite the main battery of the enemy, was doing good execution, and additional guns were being mounted. On a courier arrival at Fairfax Courthouse, he was overtaken by a Government messenger, who reported that our army was in full retreat toward Centreville.

They were followed by less 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 a retirement of our forces across Bull Run was rendered necessary. Ayre's battery was also reported as lost. Crowds of carriages and waggons came rufhing down the road. Washington July "22. The Rhode Island battery was taken by the rebels at the bridge across Bull Run, where their retreat was cut oft Their horses were all killed.

It is reported that the Black Horse Cavalry made an attack on the rear of the retreating army, when the latter turned and fired, killing all but six of the assaulting party. The 71st New York lost abont half their number. It is probable that the number of killed and wounded is magnified by large numbers who are missing, probably wandering througn the woods. Two New York regiments have gone over to Virginia. It is vaguely reported that General Patterson's division arrived in the vicinity of Manassas this morning, and commenced an attack on the rebel forces.

He was within twenty-five mdes of the battle ground yesterday, but the exhausted condition of his men prevented him horn coming to the aid of M'Dowell. It is represented in many quarters that the Ohio regiments showed the greatest consternation, probably from want of confidence in their commanding officers. It is known that on the day previous to the battle a large number of them publicly protested against being led by General Schenck, and it was only through the importunities of Colonel M'Cook, in whom they placed all confidence, and other officers, that they were prevented from making a more formidable rebellion. It was known to our troops, at the time of the battle yesterday, that Johnson's force had formed a connection with General Beauregard on the night of the first action at Bull Run. Our men co'dd distinctly hear the cars coming into Manassas Junction, and the cheers with which the Confederates hailed their newly-arriving comrades.

They knew that the enemy was our superior in numbers and in their own position. These facts were further confirmed by prisoners taken, deserters, and spies but these facts were not probably known at Washington, and the onicers in leading our men into action only obeyed orders. It was the arrival of fresh reinforcements to the enemy in superior numbcra that tnrned the scale of battle. The enemy before now might perhaps have more to boast of if they had followed up their advantage last night. SENSATION AT WASHINGTON.

Washington, Jrt 22. The news of the tremendous revulsion was not fully confirmed among people at large until to-day, though the fact was well established at midnight last night. The course of the Government in not allowing the first despatches of a brilliant victory to be contradicted was no doubt determined by the best motives. It is enough to know that we are completely defeated and routed. The entire army of the Potomac now occupy tho same intrenchments opposite AVashington which they did one week ago.

The retreat of the first regiment yesterday was disgracelul beyond all descriution. For ten miles your special correspondents and others describe the loads as being strewn with everything pertaining to the advauce, or rather retreat, of an army stores, guns, blankets, ammunition, Ac, arc lying in every direction from Centreville. THE DEFEATED ARMY. WAsniSGTOX, Jci.y 22. Pursuant to orders our forces have retreated to the intrenchments opposite Washington, General M'Dowell occupying his old head-quarters at Ar.ington.

The city is perfectly safe from attack. Tha enemy is not pursuing. There arc at least thirty thousand troops occupying positions opposite the city. Some of the remnants have coma into Wash ngton. Hon.

Edward Wade, of Ohio, arrived here at ten o'clock this morning, leaving Centreville at daybreak. He says that two divisions of the army are at Cjntreville, and that the enemy still remain in their entrenchments. General Tyler had thrown tip just hi front of Centreville, and had made a stand there with fresh trojps, but with no prospects of an attack.
