The Ilichmond papers of the 24th, contains the following account of the great battle fought on Sunday last: We are able to give the reader an authentic statement of this battle. General Beauregard disposed his army along the banks of Bull Ru~ from Union Mills Ford to the Ston Bridge Ford, the stream being be tween the two armies, and our Brig ades so arranged as to guard the va rious fords between the two points above named. The enemy advanced withingrang, at 8 o'clock, P. M., opened a heavy fire on Gen. Bonham's command al Mitchell's Ford, and kept it up some time to deceive our troops as to the real point of attack. It was soon dis covered to be a feint, and the left wing of our line found to be very heavily pressed. The enemy con centrated on that point, by rapid marches an overwhelming mass ol troops of all arms, and at 10 o'clock the battle raged to its height. Gen erals Beauregard and Johnson ar rived on the scene nearly at the same time, and both exhibited great per sonal prowess and courage in the en gagemrnAt. Gen. Beauregard rode up and down the line till his horse was killed; Gen. Johnson seized a stan dard and rallied a wavering regiment. 'T'roops were rapidly moving fromnthe right and center to the relief of the left,' and by 3 o'clock 15,000 of our men were there in the furious action against :35,000 of the enemy. At that hour Gen. Kirby Smith's Brig ade arrived on the railroad from Win chester to Manassas Junction, at a point within two miles of Stone Bridge. Seeing the violence of" the contest there, this general stopped the ears, and dismounting his mien, marched straight on the enemy, with out orders, and without going; to the Junction, thereby saving a tive mile nmarch. Gen. Bea]:uregard did not at first recognize this brigade, and he lieved it a flank movement of the en emy, till they came near enough for the flag to be distinguished. On their arrival in line, a general charge was mad,-, and the enejmv broke and fled precijpitately. When the armies reached ('C'ntreville where' McDowell had 15I.000 fresh men and heavy guns in position. he made a desperate rally. But another charge of the ('onfederates broke the new lines, and his disaster became complete. About half the memnhers of the Federa:l (Congress were distant spec tators t!' the .great battle. At C(ln terville was found a table bounteous ly spread. -turroinded by eaipty seats and twenty baskets ut' ehamupagne, whlere Senator W\ilson was in the ant of evntertaining a large dinner patrt yo ,our arrival. lie himself narrowly escaped. the get ouit of thl village in the di::guise of a driver of a mar ket c-art.
