Russell's Account or the Flight from Bull's Run . -J : The following extracts from Wra. II. Russell's letter to the London Timcs in which he .describes the disastrous panic and flight of our Army that suc ceeded the battle of Bull's Kun on the. 21st ult: :. ; ... ..: .; - :,:r .... .-As I turned down into the narrow road, or lane, already mentioned, there was a forward movement among the large four-wheeled tilt' wagons, which raised a good deal of dust. My atten tion was particularly called to this by the occurence of a few minutes after wards. I had met my friends on the road, and after a few words rode for ward at. a long trot as well as I could past the wagons and through the dust, when suddenly there arose a tumult in front of me at a small bridge across the road, and then I perceived the drivers of a set of wagons with the horses turned towards, me, who were endeav oring to force their way against the stream of vehicles setting in the other direction. By the side of the new set of wagons there was a number of com missariat men and soldiers, whom at first sight I took to be the baggage guard. ' They looked excited and alarmed, and were running by the side of the horses in front tho dust quite obscured the view. At the bridge tho the currents met in wild disorder. Turn back! Retreat!" shouted the men from the front, "We'er whipped, we er whipped ! I hey cursed and tugged at the horses' heads, and strug gled with frenzy to get past. . liun- ning by me on foot was a man with the shoulder straps of an officer. Pray what is the matter, sir ?" "It means we re pretty badly whipped, and that s a tact, he blurted out in puffi, and continued his career. I ob served that he carried no sword. The teamsters of the advansingN wagons now caught up the cry. "Turn back turn your horses," was the shout up the whole line, and, backing, plunging, rearing and kicking, the horses which had been proceeding down the road reversed front and went off towards Centerville. Those behind them. went madly, rushing on, the drivers being quite indifferent whether glory or. dis grace led the way, provided they could tind iL In tbe midst of this extraor dinary spectacle an officer, escorted by some dragoons, rode through the ruck with a light cart in charge. .Another officer, on foot, with his sword under bis arm, ran up against me. i MWhatis all this about V "Why we're pretty badly whipped. ;VVe7re all in retreat. There's Gen. Tyler there badlv wound ed ;" and on he ran. There came yet another, who said, "We re beaten on all points, lhe wholo army is in re treat." ' ''"-. ' Still there was no flight of troops, no retreat of an army," no reason for all this, precipitation. True there were many men in uniform flying' towards tne rear, but it did not appear as if thev were beyond tho proportions of a large baggage escort.1 I ; got my horse ud into the field out of the road, and went on rapidlv towards the front. Soon met soldiers who were coming through i tbe corn, mostly .Wltpou arms; and presently I saw-firelocks) cooking tins', knapsacks,' and "great' coats on the ground, and observed that the coriinsi ion and speed of. the baggage-carts be-, came greater, andthat many of them were crowded With soldiers, but it did not look as there Were many wounded.; Negro servants on . led horses dashed frantically past ; men in uniform. Whom it were a disgrace to the profession, of arms to call "soldiers," swarmed by on mules,' chargers,' and even draught horses,' which had been cut out of carti or, wagons, and went on with harness clinging to their heels, as frightened as their riders. Men literally screamed with rage and fright when their way was blocked up. On I rode, asking all, "What is all this about?", and now and then, but rarely, receiving the ant swer "We're whipped :" or "We're, repulsed." ' Faces black 'and .' dusty, tongues out in the heat, eyes staring- it was a most wonderful sight. -':. On they , came like him ' ; ; , , i " who having once turned ronnd goes on, . " And turns oo more his head, -.. For he knoweth that a fearful fiend Doth close behind him tread." . ' But where was the fiend 1 I looked in vain. There was, indeed, some, can nonading in front of me and in' their rear, but still, the firing was compara tively distant, and the runaways were far out of range. As I advanced the number of carts diminished, but the mounted-men increased, and tbe col umn of fugitivestecame denser. . Any way it was now welTestabUsKed that the retreat had really commenced: inougn i; f aw out lew.wounaea raeixj and. the, regjm eh tV. w h i c h r were.-. fallin back had not suffered rnncbiloss.' ' No one 8eeraed'tQ knOw anythlng'forieri lain, nrven tne cavalry; charge .was a rumor. Several officers said they had carried guns and linesr but then they drifted into the nonsense, which one reads and- hears, everywhere about "masked batteries." One or two talked more sensibly about the strong position of the enemy, the fatigue of their men, the want of a reserved, severe losses, and the bad conduct of certain regi ments. Not one spoke as if he thought of retiring beyond Centreville, The clouds of dust rising above the woods marked the retreat of the whole army, and the crowds of fugitives con turned to stealr along the road. The sun was declining and some thirty miles yet remained to be accomplished ere I could hope to gain the shelter of Washington. No one knew whither any corps or regiment was marching, but there were rumors of all kinds ."The 69th are cut to pieces ;" "The Fire; Zouaves' are destroyed," and so on. Jrresently a tremor ran through the men by . whom I was riding, as the sharp reports of some field pieces rat tied through tho wood close . at hand. A sort oi subdued roar. like the voice of distant breakers, rose in front of us, and the soldiers, who were, I think, Grermans, broke into a double, looking now. and then over their . shoulders. There was no choice for me but to re sign any further researches. '. The mail from Washington' for the Wednesday steamer at Boston leaves at 2:30 on Monday, and so I put my horse into a trot, keeping in the fields alongside the oads, as much as I could, to avoid the fugitives' till I came once more on the rear ot the baggage and storo carts and the pressure of the crowd, .who, concious of the aid which .the vehicles would afford them against a cavalry charge, and . fearful nevertheless, o their proximity, clamored and shouted like madmen as they ran. lhe road was ;now literally covered with bag gage, it seemed to me as it tbe men inside were throwing the things out purposely. ' "Stop," cried I 'Id 'the driver of one of the carts, "everything! is falling out,7 you, shouted a fel low inside, "if you 6top him 1 11 blow your brains out." , My attempts to save Uncle Sama property were then and there discontinued. On approaching Uenlrevillo, a body ot Uerman infantry of the reserve, came marching down and stemmed the current in some de gree ; they were followed by a brigad of guns and another battalion of fresh troops. . I turned up on the hill half mile beyond. The vehicles had all left but. two my buggy ' was gone, battery of field guns was ' in position where we had been standing. The men looked well.. As yet there was nothing to indicate more than a retreat and som ill-behavior among the oners and the riffraff of different regi ments. : : ' Centreville was not a bad position property occupied, and I saw no rea son why it should not be held if it was meant to renew ' the. attack, nor any reason why the attack should not be renewed, if there had 'been any' why it should', have been made. I swept the held once more. The - clouds dust were denser and . nearer; Tha was all. . There was no firing no raus ketryl .1 turned my horse's. Bead,' an rode away through the village, after, got out upon the road the same confus ion seemed . to prevail. Suddenly the guns on the - hill opened, and at th same time came the thuds of artillery from the wood on the right rear. The stampede became general. What oc curred at the hill 1 cannot say, but all tne roaa irom uentreyille for miles pre sented such a eight as can only be wit nessed in the track of the runaways, of an utterly demoralized army. Drivers flogged, lashed, spurred and beat their horses, or leaped down and abandoned their teams,1 and ran by the side ot-tn road mounted ? men, servants, -an men in' uniform, ' vehicles of all sorts commissariat wagons thronged the narrow ways. At every shot a con fusion as it were seized upon the morbid mass of .bones, smew, wood and lronj thrilj'ed tli rough, it," giving, new epergy: ana Action, to ,,us. : uesperaie hotiSj iw get freedom jtsel?.,iAgain the cry.;pf CayalfyYarose. i ;!v;y hat., are jyow fraidof?" said I to a "man who' wast running beside, me. ; ,"L am not afraid 01. you, repuea tne ruuiau,.ieveiing ins piece at rae and pulling the trigger, it was not loaded or the cap was not oh for, the gun- did not go off. -.-I. was: un armed., and.

But mounted men 'still rode faster, shouting but cavalry are coming." 'It was most surprising to - see how far the foot soldiers had' contrived to get in advance., After sunset the moon rose, and amid other acquaintances I jogged alongside an officer who was in charge of Colonel Hunter, the com mander of a brigade, I ' believe, ; who was shot through the neck,' and . was inside a cart, escorted by a few. troops er,s. . 1 his olhcer .was, as 1 understood, the Maior or Second in command of Colonel Hunter's Regiment, vet he had considered it right to take charge of is chiefs, and to I leave his battalion. lie .said ihey had driven back the ene my with, ease, pad hotbeen sup ftorted.' atid-'bUmed as' ha 'hffieerA and good 'ony will do-thfe cohdocibf tbe"gBB8ratSo' mean a fight I never sav." ., ur friend J h?4een, without food, but not, I suspect, withbuidFhrt; and that, . we know, affects empty that morning.

This was his cry to teamsters, escorts, convoys, the offi cers, and men on guard, . m ; . Mr. Rnssell's Letter. Mr. Russell's letter, to the London Times. ' the greater part of which we transferred to our' columns, yesterday morning, is, in many Tespects, a remark able paper. 'We enjoyed the privilege of riding from a point a couple ot miles east of Centreville, to another point a mile oast of Fairfax Court House, -with Mr. Kussell, anq when he tells what took place on that bit of road, we are competent judges of his truthfulness and tairnessias a descriptive writer. We do not know and do not care what he saw, or says he saw, of the fight and the flight, before, we found him; but from the errors and misstatements in that portion of the narrative with which we are immediately concerned, we should be justified in believing that he ws not at the battle at all, and that the materials for his letter were gath ered from some Fire Zouave or a pri vate of the Ohio second, who left, ter ror-stricken, in Hhe. early part, of the fray, and carried the fatal news of the rout and race to -the credulous rear. We left Centreville without knowing that a repulse1 had ' been felt, or that a retreat to that point' had been ordered. Jogging leisurely down the Washing ton .roada perhaps, ten, minutes cer tainly not more ahead of Mr. Russell, we saw nothing of the flogging, lash ing, spurring, beating and abandoning that he so graphically describes. The road was as quiet and clear as it no army; were. an -the . vicinity. A-mile from, Centreville) " we met the New Jersey regiment, , a private of which, Air.
