LOCAL NEWS An Infamous Secession Outrage ViU laiimui Trtalment of an Ohio Soldier. Wo hove to dny to recoid ono of the greatest atro-cities which Irs yet characterized this or an; other war, and that in pursuance of a deliberate and well matured plot against the life Of a soldier in tho Federal army. The victim was Alfted Lonian, a citizen of the United States, born in tha city of Luxemburg, Prussia, and a member oi Company second Ohio regiment, who had his arm broken by falling from car about six weeks since, and whowas just returning to hisregiment. Accordingtohisown account, ubout four o'clock on Saturday afternoon, he took passage on one of the steamers plying between this city and Alexandria, on the way to join hia regiment. As he.

was setting on the boat, two men, of rather, genteel appearance, camo nud cat down near him, and entered, into a friendly conversation, complimenting him upon his general appearamio, his military capabilities, and remained with him until the boat landed at Alexandria. Upon thoir arrival In thai city, they asked him to take drink with them, which he declined, stating that ho was going to join his regiment, and that it was already late. They all then walked to the depot together, when it was ascertained that the last train going out fon tha night- had already departed The men then volunteered to show him' where" the ivffinient was. Which offer Loman eladlv ac cepted, and they tall started off1 together, going in ft direction west of Alexandria both of the ASRIT.IL or TIIeTAMJJAN REGIMENT, JaCX- bon Goard.) This fine regiment, which is composed almost entirely 01 residents of the city of New York, arrived hero at six o'clock on Saturday uioriiiug. Thin ifglment numbers 1,046 men, is uuillruicd nearly similar to the New Yoikseventh -gray jackets and pants, trimmed with black, and bas been armoo, uui-formed, and equipped by the Union Defence Committee.

The men armed with the Springfield musket, and are accompanied by a full drum and fife corps. They bring withthem 13 baggage wagons and complete camp equippage.

In the conversation which ensued, Luman spoke fa.

vornbly of the Union, and all the others in favor of secession several of them calling him ft Union rascal," to which he responded that if it were not lor his broken arm, he would make them pay dearly for that word. Whereupon they all seized him one of them clapping hi? hands upon his mouth to prevent his giving the alarm, while the others stripped the clothes from bis back. They held both hii hands and feet, so that he could do nothing whatever, after which tbey dragged him to a post near at hand, such as horses are hitched to, which was very sham on the too. Thev then alternately lifted him up and pulled him down on the post, each time forcing the sharp point op the fundament until he fainted away from pain aud loss, of blood. He has no recollection as to how long he remained in this state, but the next thing he remembers was being in Emerich's European Hotel, in this city, which was some time between nine and ten o'clock on Saturday night.

Uc thinks ho ban dim recollection of being put on board of steamboat again, but cannot tell how he got to Emeilch's. He was either brought up to Emerieq's or walked up without knowing whero he was goiug. The first the occupants saw of him was at the front door, which he let go and fell. He was then picked up, "and placed in a bed, nud medical assistance summoned. About tan o'clock on Saturdav nlcht.

Dr. J. O. F. Haitian was sent for, who yesterday had Loman removed to his owu residence, nt tho the corner of Tenth and streets, where everything possible was done to relieve the intense agouy of tho sufferer.

This course was taken, an Dr. Holston was afraid that from the crowded statu of the iuGrmaries, he could not receive such attention as bis injuries demauded. At two o'clock yesterday afternoon, Justice Doon proceeded to the house, and took tho deposition of Loman, which is. substantially what wo give aboc. He is positive as to never having seen any of his assailants before Saturday, and is equally certain ho would recognise nny of them again, were he to see them.

The nrmaner was then in ereat Dnfn, and it was with great difficulty that he could make himself iinripmtood. 1 1 There i no doubt but that this whole pro- cceding was the result of a deliberate plot, much of which is yet iuvolved in. the most pro found mjstery. The matter has becu laid before the military authorities, and will receive a full investigation. It is very doubtful if Lorann can survive the injuries he has recoived, though everything that skill and kindness cau do is being done for him.

McRDm is' Georgetown. A Michigan Soldier Killed.

A murder was committed on the corner of Jefferson and Water streets, nbont eloveu o'clock, on Saturday night, by ft colored man named William Woodward, who it is said, without juy provocation, killed a young man named Frederick Swingingon, ft member of Company third Michigan regiment. From what we can learn, Woodward, who is a rain of tho worst class, having been a frequent subject of cur Criminal Court, and who has served out a full term in the penitentiary, deliberately drew a knife, with which he attacked the soldier, inflicting severe cut on the sido of his throat. Iho soldier immediately fell, but was picked up aud carried to tho bouse of a gpntlemau ou Congress street, whero medical assistance was summoned, and every possible attention which could be of nvail paid, but without success. He lingered until six o'clock yesterday morning, when death put an end to his sufferings. Woodward endeavored to escape by running, but was pursued by several citizens and Officer Drill, whoovertook him a short distance, from the sceue of the murder, and took him back to the station house.

Justice W. Albert King committed him yesterday to jail, to appear at the examination, at ten o'ciock to-morrow morning. The tlctim is apparently a young man, nud is said to ft highly esteemed member of his regiment, whithisnow In Virginia. Fionr, Yesterday morning, two citizeus of tho blxih ward, who were returning from Union-towu, where tbey bad been frolicking all night, when thev reached this Bide of the bridge. iquarred themselves, and went nt each other in a stjle which would have dono credit to tho champion of England aud America.

They fought for upwards of an hour, tearing them-selves aud their clothes in a shacking manner. At length, after they had become so exhausted as to be barely ftble to walk home, tbey left tho field.

E. Black, of the New York, Fourteenth regiment, (Brooklyn,) who was accidentally shot through tho lungs some ten weeks since, while cleaning his piece, nt their camp on Seventh street, died at the St. Charles Hotel on Friday night, where he has been since tho accident. It was thought, until day or two past, that he was recovering from the wound, and strong hopes were entertained that he would soon join his regiment, but in this they were disappointed. His remains were enclosed iu a handsome metalic coffin, and, yesterday nftnrnoon, sent to his family in Brooklyn.

Fatal Accidents. On Fridav last, a sol dier named Backentoes, a member of one of tho New York regiments, whoso residence is Geneva, New York, was killed by the prema ture discharge of a comrade's musket. His remains were sent, on in tho afternoon train, to his family. A young man named Uousington, from Fall River, Massachusetts, a member of a Massachusetts regiment, was accidentally shot, and instantly killed, at the camp on Friday afternoon. His body was sent off in the afternoon train on Saturday.

Navy Yard. At the navy yard, yesterday, evcryining uore an air ot tne greatest activity. A full force was at work in nearly all the shops, and war utensils, of every variety, wero being turned out with the utmost dispatch. Tho tug Reliance camo up on Saturday morning with two schooners as prizes the lling Dote, of Georgetown, and the Brunette, of Vienna. They have cargoes of iron and camp utensils for the rebels.

They were bronght up to mannas x'omi uy me lunncr, unu irom tbero by the Reliance. A number of troops wero seen from tho deck of the Reliance near Mulhias Point, on Wednesday evening, but were gone ou Thursday morning, and it is supposed that they left for Manassas Junction by railroad, on eduesday evenlug. The Freeborn has been taken off the stocks, and is now being painted. She will probably bo ready to sail by to-morrow. The Jersey Blue is still lying nt the yard.

Tho tug loung America saileo on Maturuay, about 12 o'clock, to join tho Potomac flotilla She carries two small mounted howitzers. She also has ou bnard a large 24 pound boat how-itier for tho Tanlee. Severul experiments were mado with a new brats howitzer on Saturday, which were very satisfactory. On the March. The Moiart regiment, Col.

Riley, broke camp near Alexandria on Saturday, and proceeded to join the main army be-youd Centreville. Centreville, July 21, 2 o'clock-We have successfully outflanked the enemy. At half- post two o'clock this morning the various regiments about Centreville were formed for march. At three o'clock they were in motion in the direction of Perry ville, leaving Bull Run io the left At six o'clock the first gun was fired by thirty pound rifled cannon sent ahead to batter the masked batteries that might he encountered on tho road. There was no reply from tho enemy's batteries, and the advance moved on.

At General McDowell's headquarters, ihreo miles beyond Centreville, the greater part of the army moved to the right, to avoid a bridge somo distance beyond said to have been undermined. They will pass over upon pontoons prepared by Capt. Alexander, of tho engineers corps, and who has inspected the country minutely in previous reconnoisances, and to whom, iu great measure, the plan of campaign is due. A gem ral battle is expected to day or to-morrow, aud which will probably decide the fate of tho whole campaign. If Johnson has not yet formed a junctiou with Beauregard, he will be entirely cat off by this mnnoevre and thrown hack upon tho mountains, his army will be utterly demoralized, and probably fall into the hands of McClellan, who is advancing beyond the Blue Ridge and if has formed a junction with Beauregard, it opens our communication with Patterson's colnmn; and thus reinforced, the Federal army can crush out opposition.

If we are driven back, the army can retreat upon Centreville, and keep open commnnications with Washington. If Beauregard remains where he is, his commn nications in the rear are endangered and Manassas, being nituated in the apex of a triangle formed by railroad, a movement in his rear would destroy his communications with Richmond. Tho only danger the Federal troops run by this flank march would be by the sudden advance of Beauregard upon Centrevill, interposing communications and cutting offonrsupplies. But this manceuvro would be desperate as cutting himself off from supplies, and place himself in an exhausted country, and between the Federal troops and the Potomac. The sixty-ninth New York regiment was assigned the post of honor in advance.

The members of this regiment have agreed unani mously to serve, although their time is now out. All the New York regiments will follow this example. For fie hours, one steady column of troops passed through Centreville. The morale of the soldiers is excelent, and all are anxious for a battle, and when informed of the purpose to advance the enthusiasm was beyond all description. It is supposed that Beauregard's forces are larger than ours.

A battle is imminent at any moment. It may not take place till to-morrow night. Tele graphic wires aro rapidly following the army, and offices were opened this morning at Fairfax court-house, with Messrs. Buell and Benton as army operators. LATER FIRING COMMENCED.

Fairfax, C. 3.60 P. AT. Our courier has not yet returned. Quartermaster Barton of the second regiment of Michigan hat just passed, and says that officers, men, and citizens, at Centrevill say a general engagement of the whole Una had taken place three and a half miles this tide of the Manassas, and that onr troops had driven and forced the secessionist's lines back to Manassas.

We expect our courier now every moment. COL. MILES PROCEEDS TO THE BRIDOE. Centreville, 4 P. Jf.

General McDowell has ordered the reserves now here under Colonel Miles to advance to the bridge over Bull Run, on the Warrenton road, having driven the enemy before him. Colonel Miles is now about three or four miles from here, directing operations near Blackburn's ford. THREE MASSED BATTERIES TAKEN REBELS RETIRE. Fairfax, 4.45 P. M.

Two of our couriers had returned, bnt were unable to communicate In person with General McDowell. One of the couriers was on the field of battle. He says our troops have takeu three masked batteries, aud forced the rebels to fall back and retire. Ha says the battle was general on Bull Run, for some distance. One of the batteries taken was in a wheat field, and the other tome distance irom it, and the third still further on.

LATER BATTERtll AT BULL RUN SILENCED. 6,20 P. M. Another dispatch says that the Federals have won the day. The loss on both sides is heavy.

But the rout of the rebels it complete. The batteries at Ball Ran nre silenced, and two or three others taken. STILL LATER DEINTZLEMAN FOLLOWS TO MANASSAS JUNCTION. Still later report, not official, but from appar ently authentic source, says that the colnmn under Heintxleman has followed the rebels to Manassas Junction, and has opened fire on their entrenched enmp, and was then shelling them. The cannonading can occasionally bo heard from Georgetown heights.

Colonel Cameron, commanding tho seventy-ninth regiment, and Colonel Slocum, of the second Rhode Island regiment, were killed and Colonels Heintzlercan, Hunter, Burnside, Tyler, and Schenck, badly wounded. TILL LATER PARTICULARS. Tho strugglo at Bull Run bridge was, in every respect, a severe one, aud it is estimated that the number killed and wounded cannot be much less than 12,000. The con flict continued over nine hourfl. The foregoing programme was observed nntil the troops met a succession of maked batteries, which were attacked with great loss of life.

Our troops advanced in the following order A most severe fight was fought to-day at Bull Run Bridge. The conflict was desperate lasting over nim hours. The programme as stated in the first dispatch, was carried out until the troops met with a succession of masked batteries, which were attacked with vigor and partial success, after severe loss of life. Our troops advanced as follows Col. Richardson who distinguished himself in the previous engagement, proceeded on tho left with four regiments of the fourth brigade to hold the battery-hill on Warrenton road, in the icinity of the place where the last battle was fought, the flank movements were described in the first dispatch.

Infermation was received by Tyler's command of the existence of tho enemy's battery commanding the road. Our troops were then formed in battle array. The 2d New York and 2d Ohio on the left, the 2d Ohio, and 2d Wisconsin and 79th, 13th and 69th New York ou the right. Col. Miles' division followed in the rear.

Schenck and Sherman's brigades, of Tyler's division, advanced by the Warrenton road, while Heintzleman's and Hunter's divisions took the fork of the Warrenton road, to move between Bull Run and Manassas Junctiou. Keyes' brigade remained at Centreville. The first range gun was fired by Sherman's battery, at ten minutes of seven. The rebels did not return his shot until an hour and half afterwards. When Hunter's division came up, another battle became general.

Col. Hunter's movement to gain' the rear of the eueuiy was almost a success. The enemy's position was opened on by several of Carlisle's howitzers, followed by slight skirmishing. The rebels rapidly received reinforcements from Manassas Junctioa after the attack was opened. The battle consisted of a succession of fires from masked batteries, which opened In every direction.

When one wot silenced, Its place was supplied by two, in the daring charges of infantry in unmasking them. The 2d Ohio and 2d New York militia were marched by flank through the woods by a newly-made road, with a mile of the main road, where they came on a battery of eight guns, with four regiments flanked in the rear. Our men were immediately ordered to lie down on either side of the road, in order to allow two pieces of artillery to pass through and attack tho work. When this battery opened upon us, and killed, on the third round, Lt. Dempsey, of Co.

11th New York Infantry, and William a drummer, and wounded several others. Our troops were kept for 16 or 20 minutes under a galling fire, not being able to exchange shots with the enemy, although within a stone's throw of their batteries. They succeeded In retiring in regular order, with their battery. The most gallant charge of the day was made by the New York sixty-ninth, and nineteenth, and thirteenth, who rushed upon one of the batteries, firing as they proceeded, and with great eclat, and attacking it with the bayonets' point. The yell of triumph teemed to carry all be fore it.

They found that the rebels had abandoned the battery, and only taken one gun but this success was acquired only after a severe loss of life, in which tho sixty-ninth most severely suffered, and it was reported that the lieutenant colonel was among the first killed. The Zonaves also distinguished themselves by their spirited assaults on the batteries at the point of the bayonet, but it is feared that their loss is immense. Up to the hour of three o'clock P. it was generally understood that we had hemmed in the enemy entirely, and that they were gradually retiring that Hunter bad driven them back in the that Heintzleman's command was meeting with every success, and that it required but the reserve of Tyler's division to push on Manassas Junction. A Mississippi soldier was taken prisoner by Hasbrourk of tho Wisconsin second.

He turned ont to be Brigadier Quartermaster Pryor, cousin of Roger A. Pryor. He was captured, with his horse, as he by accident rode into our lines. Ho discovered his position, by remarking to Hashrouck: We are getting badly cut to pieces." What regiment do you belong to, asked Hasbrouck? The nineteenth Mississippi "was the answer. Then you are my prisoner," said Hasbrouck.

From the statements of this prisoner, it appears that our artillery has created great havoc among the rebels, of whom there are from 30,000 to 40,000 in tho field under command of Beauregard, while they have a reserve of 75,000 at tho Junction. He describes an officer most prominently distinguished from the rest by the white horse as Jeff. Davis. He confirms the previous reports of a regiment of negro troops in the rebel forces, butsaya it is-difficult to get them iu proper discipline for battle array. All our military operations went sniugiugly on, and Col.

Alexander was about erecting pontoon across Bull Run, (he enemy were seemingly in retieat, and their batteries being unmasked one after another, when a terrific consternation broke out among the teamsters, who had incautiously advanced immediately after tho 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 our whole army was in retreat. Many baggage wagons were emptied, and their horses gallopped 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 roadside for assistance, but the alarut was so great, that numbers were passed by.

8everal 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 tho alarm was owing to the sarno fact. The reserve force at Centreville was immediately brought up, and marched in double quick step, in the following order. Colonel Eiusteins's twenty-seventh Pennsylvania regiment, with two guns, the Garibaldi Guards, and Blenker's first rifle regiment, 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 now masked batteries had becu opened by tho rebels on the left flank, and that portion of the division had had its lines brokeu, aud demanded immediate reinforcement.

The right was In good order. The battery, erected ou tho hillside, directly opposite the maiu battery of the enemy, was doing good execution, and additional gnus were being mounted. On bis arrival at Fairfax Court-Houtc, he was overtaken by Government meiMngtri, who reported' that our army wat in full retreat towards Centreville. Tbey were followed by lest agitated parties, who statod that 'the report of the retreat 'was owiug to the fact that the alarm, among tha teamsters had communicated itself 'to the volunteers, and even, in tome instances, to the regulars, and the lines were broken and that a retirement of our forces across Boll Bon was rendered necessary. Got.

Hunter passed at tha same time, In a vehicle, wounded. Ayer's battery was also reported as lost. Crowds of carriages and baggage wagons camn rushing down the road. The telegraph offico was closed against all private business, and in an hour the alarm had been communicated all along the road to Washington. Bat this state of affairs is apparently without sufficient causa for agitating the pubtic mind.

The movement was a grand one, and could only succeed by a desperate-straggle. The heavy loss of life, which is shared by the rebels, ouly tends to) show the brilliancy of the movement, and, with the Immense reinforcements' sent forward from Washington, will doubtless entirely succeed. The unfounded alarm will probably prevent a continuance of visiters to the scene of conflict, as their conduct on this occasion tended greatly to inflame it among tho teamsters. The position of the enemy extended in three' lines, forming a triangle, the apex fronting the centre of our column. The area seems to have been filled by masked batteries.

At 7 o'clock last evening) guns were still heard firing at short iutervals. THE VERY LATEST. Rumor says that Heintzleman's division, late yesterday afternoon, mado a cirooitoos march of seven miles, turned the enemy's flank, and at last accounts was shelling them in the The head of tho charger of Gov. Spragoe, which ho rode during the engagement, waa shot off from bis body, while the hone of General Burnside was shot from under him. Gone into Vikoinia.

The first Maine reui- ment, Col. Jacksou, marched over the Chain Bridgo into Virginia about 6 o'clook on Satur day afternoon. It is generally understood that they marched directly to Centreville, to join the main army. The thirty-seventh New York regiment, CoL McCunn, marched over into Virginia yesterday morning. The fifteenth regiment, (sappers and miners,) Col.

J. McLeod Murphy, broke camp yesterday afternoon, and proceeded by steamboat to Alexandria. Tho New York twenty-second regiment, CoL Phelps, left their camp, near Glenwood, and marched over the Long Bridgo about 10 o'clock last night. The sixth Maine regiment likewise marched from their quarters during the day. The thirty-fifth New York, Col.

Brown, west over about 11 o'clock last night. As we go to press, the beating of drams in various patts of the city aunounce that others are on the way. The Secession Loss at Bull Run. A Bal-timorean belonging to the Confederate army arrived in this city to-day, having in charge the body of a personal friend, another Baltimorean, who was killed at the battle at Bull's Run on Thursday. He says the number of killed on the Confederate side was threo hundred, among whom were forty members of the Maryland Guard, and some others of them badly wounded.

Patriot 20M. Gone to Dixie. We hear that Mr. Samuel Thomas, who was removed from the Patent Office, a few days ago, left on Saturday morning for Dixie. We trust that the Departments will look into all such cases, and if they have more of that stamp left in their employ, they should dismiss them.

Axnoyinc. We hear frequent complaints of late from residents in the neighborhood of Twelfth street and Massachusetts avenue, about the disorderly manner in which troops congre gating in that usually quiet neighborhood be-ave. Will the proper authorities look into it? Nearly Completed. The new iron bridge between Washington and Georgetown Is now nearly completed, and will soon be open for travel. Gone into Camp.
