Battle of Stono Bridge
This famous butilo was fought on Sunday tho
21st July, 1801. That our1 rendors may tho
bolter understand ibu topography of thc country,
tho various positions and operations of tho
Southern army, wo propose to give in this sbnpo
that which would otborwiso appear aa Ml?dito
rial Correspondence."
To bogin : After loaving Fairfax C. II. on
tho 12th of July, wo returned direct to Manns
sos. Rnquiring at Headquarters, wo loamed
that tho 4th Regiment had loft Loosburg, and,
by short mavobos, was falling down on Bull
Hun-tho base linn of tbo wbolo Coiifoderato
army. On, tho 13th, by tho kindness of a friond,
Wo roaohed tho 4th Rogimont,- in a hard rain,
*whioh WW cncamp?d five milos w.ost of Contrc
villo, nine milos from Steno Bridge, and fifteen
from Mantissas. Wo woro kindly received by
friends, both ofTieorsand men, in tiiis^noblo Rog
iiuont, and shared thoir hospitality during our
stay. Tho .mon, with tho exception of a good
many casos of incastos and mumps, woro goner"*
ally onjoyiug "ory good health. Tho boys bad
thoro onjoyed themselves linoly. "Hard (Unes,"
however, woro now apparent ; but thc Yankees
woro coming up, and this kept all in a good hu
mor, fino spirits, and a gun in band. ' Karly on
tho lGtb, a despatch from (?en. BKAUREOARD
'admonished Ibo officers to bo on tho " alert,"
and, after breakfast, tho tents wcro struck, and
tho wbolo column marched under orders. At
<ibout 0 o'clock, P, M., alter a dusty and tiro
some tramp of nine milos, tho Rogimont en
camped near tho .Stone Bridge. As soon as
orri CPS W^ro givon to "stack arms," tho mon
3 hurriedly' prepared a frugal meal; and thou,
without stretching their tout cloths, took their
guns by their side, tumblod down on their blan
kets, and wcro soon at rest. Wo shared the
blankets of agk'md friond, but it was long before
.Bicep closed our oyes. Tho scene before us
moved our heart. Hero was a gallant band ol
bravo and dovotod mon, hundreds of milos awny
from friends and homo--all that good mon pri/.o
i that is earthly-without many of tho substan
/ tiala of lifo-nono of its comforts-and upon tho
ovo of a groat baHlol But the reality of their
situation changed them pot, and wc wei o proud
to sharo oven thc scanty faro and fate of our
friends and noighbovs in a strange land 1

? . b?ing bcroaliout a succession of bills, gentle
slopes and linleys. Thc soil is clay entirely,
with liniostono appearances. Water is scarce
and bad; timber dwarfish; and mu ob of it has
boon cut down?. Agriculture is tho principal
omploymont of tho population. Whont is thc

Bull Run is a small stream, nnd would b<

On thc 20th, wo wont down to Manassno to

roliablo information of what was transpiring in
thc country generally ; for, it wil' bound strnngo
whoi'i wo inform tho roador, that roliablo news

In fact, it was rolatod to mo that tho 'Uh Rogi
*mont received their earliest information in rela
tion to tho war and ovoids trnnspiring around
thom from their District pnpors, publishod nt j
homo. From our short oxporienco of camp life, j
wo havo no doubt of tho truth of tho remark.
I.oaviug Mnnnssus, wc proceeded in thc direc
tion of Thursday's battle-field ; but, on arriving
Ot 'Mitcholl's ford, wo wore informed that no !
ono was permitted to cross tho Run, on account !
of tho proximity of tho Yankees, who were in
sight. Returning to Stono Bridge, we passed .
Col. KEHSHAW'S Regiment, to which tho Rutlor j
Guards aro attached. They woro busy throw
ing up embankment? and in fino spirits.
Wo returned to camp late Saturday ovoning.
Tho brigade stationed at Stono Bridge was com
manded by Con. N. G. EVANS, of South Caroli
na. It was composed of Col. SLOAN'S 4th Reg
iment ; Maj. WHEAT'S Louisiana Battnlion, six
companies ; two pieces of Flying Artillery nnd
two companies of Virginia Cavalry. Saturday
night waa ono of anxiety. Tho enemy wore in
motion, nnd the mon slept oil their arms.'
Before sunrise Sabbath morning, nnd boforo
the men could propnrc a morsel of food, they J
were summoned to the battle-field, nnd formed
in order of battle. Tho turnpike leading from j
Centreville to Gainesville runs through tho '
camp, and, it was on this road, that thc Stone j
bridge was built ovor Bull Hun. Tho Road
herc runs north and south. At tho bridgo, a
largo body of timborhad boon felled to prevent
the enemy from crossing. Tho rond was com
pletely blocked. Thc Artillery wns posted to
thc right of tho turnpike, commanding the
bridge nnd tho road beyond for a considerable
distance. Tho 4th Regiment wa3 formed to tho
loft of tho road, looking towards Gen troy lllo.
WHEAT'S Battalion occupied thc Run above,
this position, our mon received tho first cannon
shots of tho enemy, which foll in their roar
sonic fifty yards. About 0 o'clock, Capt. Kn.
PATRICK'S company was detached from thc Keg
imont and was posted on the left as skirmishers.
Capt. ANDERSON'S company performed thc samo
duty on tko right. Tho Palmetto Rillcmcn. Lieut
C. E. BAULK commanding, and Cnpt. ORAN'S
company wore ordered to hold themselves in
readiness as a reserve. .Soon after, Capt. Kit.
IUTRion's company oponed tire on tho enemy.
Tho onomy returned tho fire with shell and ball
siam afterwards. Cen. Kv ANS ascertained that
tho Yankees, under Cen. MCDOWELL, wore turn
ing Iiis loft. They crossed tho Run about two
miles above tho Stone Bridgo, and marched di
rectly for Mai.-issus, six miles distant, mainly
hy tho Leosburg vend. About 8 o'clock, (len.
EVANS ordered tho six remaining companies of
thc 4lh Regiment and'WHEAT'S Battalion to
march upon thc left Hank of thc enemy, near
ono milo north-west from Ibo bridge, where tho
first fire of musketry was opened by our troops.

groat spirit, Soon after, Gen BARTOW wont on
tho field north of tho turnpike, and commenced
tho fight in oarnost- falter, Gen. .JACKSON,
with a much larger forco, came upon the ground
on BAHTOW'S left. By this time, the Confoder
erato forces engaged must have numbered near
7,000 men, and the fight was general; but,
owing to tho overwhelming numbers of the on
omy, tho Confederates were forced from point
to point, without, however, leaving tho field.
i Tho Confederates fought with groat bravery,
i desperation and spirit; and it was this in thc
end that gave us tho victory. Between ll and
i 12 o'clock, Con. JoHNStON, with large :cir.f;irec
monts, entered tho field at thc head of fho enc
\ my's column ; and his WOR tho first troops, fiann

t at this time was terrific, and '.ho killed nm

and was resolved with ii shout that almost shook
thc can li. Krcn (lie wounded, who wcro unable

to Kiohmond Tuesday morning.
1 Along tho lino of thc Run, from early in thc
" morning, a heavy cannonading wn3 kopt up bj
tho Ytinkoes upon our troops, probably to divorl

through tiic centro bf tho Yield. Tlio federalists
entered ?bo field in fino fctylo, with (lugs flying and
drums boating. To do thurn justino, they fought
well; but were not' a iimteli for our own men,
nit hough wo wcro outnuinborcd tinco to ono.
Many feats of daring and personal prowess were
witnessed upon rids ensanguined field, but wc hayo
uoithcr timo nor spnoo to recount them. Suilico

Tho Confederate force engaged on tho .field was
about 16,000 mon. That of tho Yankees <it least
40,000. They also had largo reserves. Our loss
was nenv 2,000 killed and wounded-one-fourth
being killed. Tho federal papers acknowledge ft
loss of'20,000 in killel, wounded nnd prisoners.
Gen. HtiAUIiKQAliD paid a high compliment to tho
4th Regiment on tho battle tieid, for lt? persever

Whon tho contest was over, the reality stared us
in tho taco. Tho scone was beyond description.
Tho doad, dying and wounded wore on all sides,
in agonies never to bo forgotten. Tho ground
was covered willi uniforms, caps, guns, and equip
ments of all kinds.
Wo woro unablo to obtain a correct list of tho
killed and wounded in thc 1th lloglniout; but wc

of tho .'.cene of th? engagement nt Hull Hun,

" Tho action was commenced by General Ty- ?

while thc New York Twelfth and Massachusetts j '

that Manassa? cannot bc taken with lilly thous

and discipline, but in their fighting ipinlitics
-rushing as they did into hallie, willi a shout !
w hich rose above the roar of tho camion, whilst
their nriillory w as coi ved in unsurpassed style.
Ono ball fell directly amidst a group of Congress- i
men, amongst whom was Owen Lovjov. which
caused a ludicrous scampering and dodging be
hind trees, very unbecoming these dignitaries.
Une romarkablo feature which impressed it-elf
rm thc minds of the Congressmen, during their
route to the scene of action, was Ibo absence of!
ill the malo population capable of bearing arm.".
The few whom they saw were a few decrepit
)ld men and women, whoso eyes " fairly (lashed
ire at thc sight of tho Yankee .soldiers." The
otter concludes willi tho opinion of Honorai Mc
