it. will"IIrobably require weeks to learn a1l
the particu!irs of that great trial of strength
between Northerr and Seouthern arns, which
touk jiiace on .Sunday last, near Manassas.
So tar. we have heard but a tithe of what
will vet be developed, and already much has
reached ns of a most p ainfully .interesting
character.
We had it conver.alien, yesterday, with
gentlemen pasing throub trom the Nourhern

and from them le.arn mne particnlars not

It has been already stated that the " brunt

p..sed of some :1,000 men. under the Gen.
Johnstou. This was the nuumher brought
down by Gen. J. from Winchester, but he was
doubtless reinforced after reaching Mfanas~as.

Coul. F"isher wva; Lille, in fr~ont of his regiment,

The Colinel dismnonted, divested himselfof
his watch. sword and coat, and swinging a
carbine aeross: his shoulder, called to his meon
to fo;w him, whic'h they did with great er.- I
thusiasma. This occurret between :3 and 4
o'clock 1.. m., during the critical hour of the
hattie', which has been already referred to.
The Colonel was truck by a conical musket I
ball, just over the left eye. which p assed '
throuih his but at the base of the brown. and
went entirely tbhr,;gh the skull, coning cout

had been struck by a hall, acud bent so as to

the great force of ball:( ejected from improved

Capt. York of Company 1, encountered one
of the enemy within ten step, of him, with
rifle drawn,'but the Captain was too qnick

The Alabama Fourth Regiment were in tl.e

played their most inspiring airs, and thousami
of eitizens and strangers poured fourth to wi

'clock Gen. Scott and staff' crossed the rive
preceding the most of the regiments. TI
ght was m-st impressive and grand. Th
aged General seeted to have renewed hi
youth. His snowy lucks were the only ev
deuce of his venerable age. Ills eves sparkle
with the fire which a confidence of his cat
had enkindled, and his almost giant statnr
rendered hint conspicuous anong the o eer

The demonstration, considered only as pt

. The Washington correspondent of' the New

ire enecainped-in great force between Fairfax
Uomt House and Centreville.
The number of killed and wounded is grad
nally decreasing. Six hundred Zouaves have
returned.
It is now understood that Col. Wilcox re
ported killed, is living, though badly wounded.
The Comnnecticut regiment, heretufbre re
ported badly eut m, have nearly all retirned.

It is estimated that '.':' bu) of our troops
were engaged in- the battle, and only 1>,000
at any one time. The whole battle occurred
within the radius of a mile.
It is n w thought. the enemy left some of
their batteries for the parp.se of - decoyino
our troops on.
Sherman's battery, or the greatest part of
it, has returned to WVashinugton. The reas.n
of the capture of other batteries was that the

aid of his own surgeons, and also of f)r. Josi

that he will need mitch of skill to restore him
very speedily to hi: Legion, which he led in
the terrible battle until a te.ry short te h.,
lore the e*nemv retreated. lie escaped very
narrowly on thiree several occasions, having
had his horse shot from under him and a ba
to unss thr.ugh his coat. The wound he re
eeived is a slight one on the head, which his
strgeons rega rd as trifling, and hu caused
him hit little pain.
His and our preservation truly secems mi
racuilons. The L.eor w:s for five bours un
der Iiro and hits sn!Tered sevcrely, but they
have covered themselves with glory, and have
received the praises of Gen. Beauregard and of
the President. I need not say that Col. l famp

his body a moment after,
His remains have beeu broutht he;a to be

we would have contributed still more to the
terrible defeat which has been inflicted upon
