Probably the mi lb in regard to tbe bat- j tie »t Bull’s Run, two miles beyond Con- ; tcrville, and twmty-sis miles from "Wash-j ingten, may be stated as follows: Tbe advance guard of tbe Federal army, Gen. Trier's brigade, attacked tbe entrenched poBS-ioa of the rebels at Bull's Bon, on Thursday, and, after a brief engagement, jttired with a loss of twelve billed and fsity wounded—the rebels being strongly reinforced from Manassas Junction. Since then tbe Federal troops have been rein forced by Gen. Scbenck’s and Cob Heint zelman’a brigades, and have been engaged in reconnoitcring the enemy’s position. The latest news from Gen. McDowell's camp is to 10i o’clock yesterday morning. AH reports giving details of bayonet charge*, pro and ccn y are probably canards. One report s’ates that the Massachusetts Ctli and the New York Fire Zouaves car ried tbe enemy’s battery at the point of tbe bayonet. Another declares that the enemy charged with bayonets and were repulsed by the New York GOih and 71st Both are probably fallacious. It is undoubtedly true that all the remaining regiments on tl.c left bank of the Potomac have been ordered across the river to reinforce Gen. McDowells column. It is reported in our latest dispatches that Gen. Johnston has probably effected a junction with Beauregard, and that Gen. Patterson, instead of following him, h<is fatten bock beyond Martinfsbury. So unac countable a movement on the part of Pat terson, if actually made, can hardly be accounted for on any hypothesis consist ent with Ids loyalty. Let us hope that it is not true. It would appear that the telegraph is not completed to Centerville yef, and that the main reliance for news in Washington is on the couriers, who are rapidly passing to and fro. TBE MMIIEEMfI. We leant by private letters from Col. Turchin’b Nineteenth regiment, that the boys have received their uniforms, and Minie muskets all around. These cir cumstances have improved the feelings of the regiment in a wonderful degree, and they are now ready to go “into the jaws of death ” on the shortest notice and the most reasonable terms. .Foigcry by Telegraph; About one month since the Chicago Tima experienced a change of editors. It appears also that with this charge came a novel system of . telegraph news, which may have been in vogue In Detroit, but which was certainly not known cm this tide of Lake Michigan. This paper 3%Rf* cf yesterday morning contains half a column of matter from Cairo styled “ special dispatch to the Chicago Time*.’’ The ancient ttsd muJfr character of this “special dis- dated July 18, led us to in fer thlmGpSsfeen selected from dispatches I to otherjoumals, cr received by due course of y-iafl, and thus palmed upon the public. An Inquiry at the telegraph office in this city sat isfied us that we were correctr-no such “ spe cial dispatch ” having been transmitted over the wires on the 18th of July of the present C Anothtr lingular special dispatch appeared in the Tima of yesterday, dated “ Centerville, Va., July 18—10 p. m.” This bulletinpresente a mulUulicity ol details coinciding with previ ous reports sent to the Associated Press, but sot & word about the battle which had been raging several hours, only two miles distant from Centerville. The dispatch in question, transmitted “though the kindness of Mr. Strause, the Superintendent of the Govern ment lines,” gave a very peaceful and cerule an hue to the situation around Centerville. «It is difficult,” says the dispatch “to give “a clear idea of the position of the Federal •‘troops at this moment,” So we should judge, At the latest advices, according to this perplexed telegrapher, a grand council cf war was being held at Gen. McDowell’s head-quarterr, and Gen. McDowell himself wan delivering the opinion that the enemy would make a stand at Manassas Junction. Obliging dogs! This dispatch may have come tom Detroit, or it may have been manufac tured here. It certainly did not come from “Centerville, Ye-, July 18—10 P. M.” This sjftcm of getting news Is obviously cheaper the one commonly employed. The presumption Is that it has been pretty ex tensively practiced by the new management of that sheet. That it is fraudulent, and de signedly so, it needs no argument to prove. The public will judge how much confidence Is tc be placed in “special dispatches to the Chicago Times.” GEN.

I just made the trip to St Joseph and back, and I hasten to acquaint you with the condition of things on the line of the import ant thoroughfare which connects these two points. The bridge across South Biver that was burned by the rebels is nearly repaired. Trains will pass over It to-morrow noon. The small bridges that were fired were not dam aged much, and a few hours’ labor made them passable for trains. At Cadwell ; Station and near there the rebels burned some ■ 1,200 cords of wood. At every station they ‘ burned the water tanks. At Monroe Station 1 they burned nine passenger cars and eleven freight cars and the depot buildings. This is I the place where Col. Smith’s Regiment is en- i ccmped, and where they were surrounded. } They have possession of the schoolhouss i here, and have named the place Fort Monroe, 1 CcllegeFort. At Crooked Creek Bridge there is a camp. There is also a camp at Macon ' City, the junction of the North Missouri Rail- [ road. At Severe, the Union men, knowing i how easily the rebels are frightened, have ; mounted a stove pipe on wheels. At a dis- } lance it looks very like a cannon, and the peo- ; pie there told me they have no trouble, that . ft answered os well as a 9-poxmder to frighten . rebels. * I On the Charidon Bottom there Js another 1 camp of about 100 men to protect the bridge i there. At Mnsclfork Bridge, about 100 miles j west of Hannibal, there is a camp of the 16th • nimois Regiment, They have named it Camp ! Johnson. On Madison Bottom there is a i camp of the lowa 3d Regiment; also at Chll- 1 V.ccthe and St. Joseph. Wednesday there was i a company of 40 Union men came to Chilli- t cothe under command of Capt. Robert Me. j Ferric, from Carrollton, Carroll county, to be i sworn in as Home Guards. They were stout farmers and their sons, and were armed with sporting rifles and shot gnus. The Captain I informs me that he thought there were about BCO Union men in the county who would come | forward as soon as there wag any show for ; protection. j I I had almost forgotten onr Chicago Zouaves i who surprised the Missourians with their j drill. One old man. when he saw their red pants, exclaimed, “Oh! we shall all be mur dered; them clothes means blood.” The boys are camped at and near Palmyra. Thev were a little short of rations. So they went to work to get a supply. 1 saw two of them dig ;• mg potatoes. They told me they were dig ging cn shares, giving the owner the vines, while they took tbe roots. Another artist bad two children which he said he found out there, and they refused to swear in for three years. Lieut. Thomas L. Jobe, of Capt Allard’s Company, from Virginia, Cass county, Ilk, i was accidentally shot this morning. The | company were out for drill, and he was in stxneting them in the use of their arms, when one of the muskets fell, aod on striking the ground was discharged. The ball struck Lieut. Jobe on the buckle of his belt, carrying in with It a piece of the buckle, and lodged near his spine. He lived but two hours, lie was laid out In his uniform, and will be taken to his friends to morrow. ‘ There are several camps of rebels about Hannibal, Palmyra, and Monroe. They do their fighting on a run generally, and most of them are fanners or poor drunken wretches, who will do anything for whisky. The trains on the Hannibal & St. Jo. R. R. will ran regularly after to morrow. With the force now on the line of the rood the Super intendent feels confident there will be no fur ther obstruction to trade and travel, if the force* are properly distributed. H. S.

There are no iroops at Dumfries, cave a lew scouring the country and impressing the men. Several young men from Fairtux Court House also lied hither, after a long tramp through tho woods. They fled to escape impressment in the Confederate army. The enemy are not only impressing all persons able to bear arms, tut are confiscating all the stock of the citi zens in that locality. . FBOM WASHINGTON. Ad Exciting: Day In Conerea*—Tariff pebate—~AnoAlxer Nortnern Traitor •—War and Slavery Discussed, [Tel- Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial.] Washington, July 18,1801. The proceedings in the House were very in teresting to-day. The committee on the case of .Henry May, of Baltimore, reported that there was no evidence against Mm, and May rose to a personal explanation. The House indulged him, but he proceeded to attack the Government. There was deep excitement, and he was compelled to proceed In order by a vote of the House. Ex-Governor Thomas, of Maryland, replied most eloquently to his attack, defending the Government. There wss great excitement throughout the debate, which lasted three hours. May. Burnett and Vallandigham consulted throughout the de bate. The action of the Committee of the Whole yesterday, reducing the proposed duty on cof fee and sugar, was to-day reversed, and the original (Stevens’s) amendment carried by 30 majority. The hill as passed by the House will pass the Senate. The Senate will not be ready to adjourn be fore next Thursday. The advance of the army has quickened sluggish Senators,and it is now considered certain that Congress will adjourn by Thursday next. Ancona of Pennsylvania, to-dav joined the rants of Northern traitors, and tried very un becomingly to prevent Gov. Thomas, of Mary land, from replying to May. A bitter feeling against him exists among the Pennsylvania members. The Senate indulged in an cxcitingdebate on the war and slavery. Jim Lane, Towell, Caiiffe and others participated In it. Bright of Indiana wallowed In dougtfaceism. sensu al. Browning,of Illinois, made the best speech of the debate. The general sentiment of Nor thern speeches seemed to be, if shivery stood In the way of the Union, it must fall. The Missouri State Cenvsmtlon. We notice already the presence of several numbers of the State Convention in this city. That body does not meet until Monday In Jef feison City, and we die card altogether the idea (bat there will be a failure to attend. Ex cept those who are out pf the State by accident, the probability is that there will bo a general attendance, and if euch is not the case the backsliders will be found to be Secessionists. It has been stated, and not without plsusibO itr, that threats were made to deter members of the Convention from being present at any called session, and that Gcv?

[Special Dispatch to the N. T. Tribune,] Washington, Wednesday, July 17. Another bloodless victory, another seces sion village captured, without the firing of a gun, the rebels retreating in hot haste—the cavalry ordered to the front and pursuing for three miles without catching. Such is the history of the day at Fairfax Court House. About 7 o’clock this morning the center col umn, CoL Hunter, fairly took up the line of march for Fairfax, by the Leesburg turnpike, from their camps, between BaUey’s Cross roads and the turnpike, a distance of nine or ten miles, Colonel Burnside’s brigade in advance. In the night the rebels had approached within 300 yards of the camps, but had fled before the skirmishers. The soldiers were full of fight, anxious to know how much far ther it was to the enemy, and occasionally breaking out intopatriotic songs. The first sign of the enemy was some three or four miles from Fairfax, where trees had been felled for several rods, for the purpose of obstructing the road. They could not have been there a week, for the leaves were bnt slightly withered. Another obstruction of the same kind was put there on Saturday. The column went round through a meadow up a steep hill a mile farther,and the approach WjS cautiously made, as it was the highest ground on the road, and there, if anywhere, it was thought would be resistance. For a mo ment there were signs of forming In line, but the usual absence of rebels became soon appa rent The alarm was caused by the driving in of a rebel force of two or three hundred men by our skirmishers. At 9or 10 o’clock they went off in such a hurry as to leave their horse bags, from which «our men fed their horses with corn. About half a mile from the Court House, on the top of the first hill, an excellent position, was a line of fresh earthworks extending on both sides of the road for, perhaps, half a mile between the woods. The hitherto slope of the hill was cleared of trees and fences, as if to al low range to the artillery; but there were no guns, and no traces of guns, unless wheel tracks near one of the four embrasures be so interpreted. The slight embankmeat was of earth,except at the embrasures, which were strengthened by sand bagswith Confederate States or Quar ter-master’s Department of Virginia stamped upon them. There was abundant evidences that the works had been left in haste. Camp kettles, hams, a little flour, and plenty of shovels and axes, make up the testimony. Therejwere no ditches in front, which left them exposed to a flank movement Fresently the troops were moving up a steep and narrow street, between broken down Virginia houses. It wa&hard even for officers to beUcve that this was Fairfax Court House already, as it proved. Before the second Brigade began to file up the street, the Cavalry were ordered to the front, and galloped at the top of their speed, carbines in hand, forward. They pursued the rebels three miles on the CentreviUe road, and then gave up the chase, because there were no signs of the foe, and their horses were wearied. It was ascertained that the rebels had left at about 9 o’clock this morning; that they were under the command of. Gen. Bonham, late member of Congress from South Caro lina, and were about 6,000 strong, consisting of Booth Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia reg iments. They had occupied six camps near thetown, some in tents, others in hastily con structed shanties. The few persona who were to be found in town said that they had expected them to make a stand, haring always asserted that there would be a battle, and that all who wish ed safety hod better'leave.' Bat they formed on the hill behind the town only to tarn tail the instant onr columns came In sight,those of General Tyler and CoL Ileinlzdman flanking them aa the center approached. In the camps, as in their headquarters in town, were irtsh evidences of hasty depar lure. In one were fire quarters of fresh beef, eleven muskets; in all were spades, shovels, camp-kettles, knapsacks, and pistols in abund ance. A number of tents were left entire, and aud the ropes which held others had been cut without pulling up the stakes. In one was a table set for the officers 1 breakfast. Sick soldiers were left in hospital with nothing to eat; in the Quartermaster's rooms a medicine chest, the Quartermaster’s mess chest, and plenty of excellent whisky were Uft; the latter was a most striking; proof of a rapid flight. In the knapsacks were Terr precious things, such as a letter from a wife to a husband Inclosing a lock of hair from a sister to a brother, asking him to “kill a Yankee for me.” There were also maps of various parts of 'Virginia. In some were let* ters even inclosing money. The Confederate mail bag stolen' froin the United States was made a prize of by Cob Bnrneide, As for the town, it looked like a deserted Tillage; hardly any persons bat women and negroes were to be seen, the houses, some ot them, looking as if the Tillage had seen better days, were shot np and scarce ly anything was to be had for lore or money. : Tea and coffee have, we were informed by a I female resident, been unknown for a long I time, and of other things there appeared to 1 be no superfluity. The Court Bouse itself, which was where Gen. Washington’s business was. transacted, locks like a Yankee academy on the exterior. Within it is not so capacious nor convenient; many a police justice North would regird the Tocm, as it now appears, as beneath him. One of the Rhode Island Regiments camped on the grounds'of Dr. Gunell, and made them selves soon acquainted with his ice-house, bee hives, garden beds and running chickens. We regret io say that several deserted build ings were broken into and pillaged, and that eix, mostly barns, on the outskirts of the town, were burned, some by secessionists and tome by our troops, on the rumor that a Un ion man bad been shot from one of them; the officers tried to prevent these excesses by set- i tirg guards at the houses, but in a number of cases they were too late; the arrangements ehould have been mide beforehand, and Gen. McDowell should see to it that these things are not repeated. There Is this to be said, however, that so far as our observation extended, only deserted houses were touched, and the soldiers might well infer from the fact of leaving that the owners were rebels. Many of them were touched less for love of plunder than from a desire for trophies. A cannon was fired at a party of rebels who were scouting, from Gen. Tyler’s column, between 8 and 9 o’clock. This is supposed to have been the first alarm given, and was soon followed by the retreat. Three of our men were slightly wounded. We understand that a carefully drawn topo graphical map, prepared by a clerk nowjjoi. ployed in tbe War Department, was found|ia one of the buildings. Among tbe civilians who entered Fairfax with the army was a daughter ol Thurlow Weed, who bore away a secession flag and other trophies. Among the members ol Congress who were there were Senator Lane of Indiana, and Colfax, Yerree, Nixon, Frank, Porter, and Washbume, of Illi nois, of the House. Mr. Yerree brought home an empty sand-bog,, with the words “The Confederate States” printed upon It, which he presented to Gen. Mansfield, to be given, by him to Gen. Scott, as one of the ma ny trophies of .this victory. Most of tbe column of tbe center rested for the night at Fairfax. A portion of that and of Gen. Tylers pushed on three miles toward Centerville, where It is thought that they will make a stand, as the position is a strong one. Gen. Scott will not leave the city to-night as reported, but bolds himself in readiness to join the inarch if any disaster should make his presence necessary. It is believed that the army can be in Richmond in five days If It do not tarry at Manassas. No apprehension is entertained from the batteries at Manassas Junction. The nine 64- pounders, with the James projectile, with a range of four miles, would soon dismount or silence the light metal ot their batteries. Sixty-five of the sixty-seven who deserted from the Garibaldi Guard returned, very peni tent, to the camp of the regiment last night, just after the army moved toward Fairfax. They wUI be reequipped immediately, and sent | to join the regiment The spirit of the troops who are in advance 1 to Richmond is most exultant The enthu siasm broke out on their march, in national sirs, floating in fall strains upon the tempered air of a July day, cooled oy the northern winds and rains of last week. “ Yankee Doodle,” “ Dixie,” “Am Rheim,” and the “ Maraellaise,” mingled in the chorus of the races who strike for freedom at the capital of Richmond. Everybody here is buoyant and joyful. Capt Wm. T. Barry’s splendid company of United States light Artillery arrived here at 8 o’clock last night from Fort Pickens, and joined the advancing column to-doy. Lieut. Col. Devlin’s New York regiment of Cavalry are expected here to-morrow morning to join the grand army. AUDIT IN WESTERN VIBGINIA.

[Special Dispatches to the Chicago Tribune.] ■Washxkgton, July 19,1861— n00n. The affair at Bull’s Run, yesterday after noon, was more serious than was at first an ticipated. 1 havejest heard from the Ups of the Secretary of War that the mortality this morning foots up fifty killed and a great num ber wounded. In the former list are five cap-' tains, five lieutenants,- and one chaplain. TUB much is official. A current report on the street, said to have been brought by a citizen from the scene of action, is that the position of the enemy was carried by the Massachusetts sth and New York Fire Zouaves at the point ol the bayo net. This admits of doubts though It is un questionably true that the rebels were forced to fall back. I am enabled to state on the highest official authority that the division moved on to Ma nassas last night, and that the battle would begin this morning by artillery. Our forces have a siege train with* which to attack the entrenchments of the enemy ; but amid the multiplicity of rumors it la impossible to get at the literal truth. I heard Cameron say, hut a moment ago, that the news had bad look. Later.— The reported taking of the battery is confirmed, but the loss is not known. The South Carolina regiment retreated in good or der. Railway men, just in from Fairfax, say heavy cannonading is heard in the direction of Manassas. It is probable that the great fight is going on, though the War Department do information of the fact. Intense excitement prevails here. Gen, Scott Is waiting the reports in his office. The War Department is besieged by anxious in quirers. SECOND DISPATCH. Washington, July 19—2 p. m, Representative McCicmand has just return ed from Bull’s Run. He left there at eight o’clock In the morning. From him I have these facts : that the position was not carried, and that no move had been made towards Manassas. After reinforcements came up be fore the rebel entrenchments the firing on both sides ceased, and onr troops slept on the ground. A negro • came in who says the slaughter of the enemy was great. CoL Foun tain (on their side) was killed. It is not known how many more. Latze. —Last evening Gen. Schenck’s bri gade left Centerville to flank tbe battery on the right by the Gannsville road. Nothing had been heard of their progress Mc- Ciercand left. CoL Heintzelman’s division came up to Centerville lost night to join Gen. Tyler. His men were full of enthusiasm, waiting for the order to march. Gen. McDowell’s official report was brought by McClernand. It reduces the number of killed to twelve and the wounded to twenty one. The army this morning was occupying its old position, of move-' meat. Depend upon it these are facts. Hence the report of firing at Manassas is a canard. The enemy were reinforced during the engage ment by fire regiments. The taking of Ma nassas Junction with a loss of only one hun dred and fifty, was announced in the Hoose this afternoon, amid thunders of applause from the floor and galleries. McClemand’s dispatches spoil that story. Mac says that the Federal troops stand nobly. THIRD DISFA.TCH. Wabqikqtov, July 19—Evening. The latest from Centerville, at half-pasture o’clock this morning, says no fight had taken place at Manassas, nor had any further move* ment been made against the rebel battery at Bull’s Bun. Probably the day has been spent In reconnoisanee. This Is the latest from the scene of expected battle. Intelligence Is, how ever, hourly expected. Patterson, we hear tonight, without orders, under the a pretense of want of forage, has fallen back upon Hartinsbnrg. If he were a secessionist, he could not do the enemy bet ter service. His is a case for removal or court martial and shooting. The most of our delegation are off for Ma nassas, namely, Lovejoy, Arnold, Washbume, Richardson and McClemaud. The House was very thin to-day, and business was done with difficulty.. The battle absorbs everything. There Is great excitement in the town, and the most exaggerated reports exist among the soldiers here, aU of whom want to have a part in the fray. FOXmTR DXSPATGE. Wkssmorov, July 19—IDtf o'clock.

[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] CsKTBEmiA, Va., July 19. A very sharp engagement fsras fought yes terday afternoon, by the brigade under CoL Eichardfion of Michigan, composed of the second and third Michigan, J!be fint Massa ch the twelfth New York .regiments. The action occured at Blackfcro Ford, three miles from Manassas, with force of re* feels entrenched in the wooss behind three mi i&eked batteries. Oar troc-ps first opened fixe from two rifled cannon, tending ont three hnndrcd skirmishers to ont the enemy. Immediately a tremendous cross-firing of the batteries was opened, accompanied by than* dering vollles of musketry. • This threw the New York 12th into some £onfoslon, which b; ' jroke.our lines.

Our reserve is now beginning to arrive, and by Friday night Manassas be confronted by an army of fifty thousand-men. We lost thirty killed, and a few more wounded. Half the loss are from the Michigan troops, who behaved with magnificent courage, standing calm and unbroken under a pouring hall of shot, and returning the fire up to within pistol shot of the enemy’s entrenchments. On the whole, the action creates more enthusiasm than discouragement in the ranks of the army. , from gtiisor. [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] QcihCt, July 19,1661.

Washington, July 19. —CoL McOlernaad of the House of Representatives left head-quar ters at Centremb at 9 o’clock this forenoon, bringing the official report of the battle at Bull’s Run. He arrived here this afternoon. Last night after the firing ceased, General Schenck’s brigade proceeded up the Gains viile road to flank the position ot the three more prominent batteries which had opened cn our troops. The confederates who fought the federalists at the Run are those who were driven back from various places between Fairfax Court House and Centre vine, In addi tion to a reinforcement of five regiments who were brought up from Manassas during the ac lion, which continued about five hours. In spite of the various rumors, the condition of a Hairs At the close of yesterday may be char acterized as a drawn battle, were being no decided result, the confederates nowhere showing themselves during the battle, they being altogether concealed oy the woods, ra vines and entrenchments from which they di rected their fires. The members of the House who witnessed tbe fight were Messrs. McClernand, Richard son, Lovfjoy and Logan of Illinois, Noell of Missouri, Duon of Indiana, Hoard of New York. It is CoL McClemaud’s belief from what he ascertained while at the seat of war, that the Confederates had yesterday up wards of 50,000 men at the Junction, or who could soon ba concentrated there. Washington, July 19.—An official dispatch, to the War Department received to-day, an nounces that the advance of Gen. McDowell had not moved on Manassas to-day. An offi cial dispatch to the War 7 o’clock this morning, gives the parucolars of the Ices of the Federal forces at the engage ment at Bali’s Run yesterday. It states that our loss is only twelve killed and forty wouad ed. The contending armies were in sight of each other, tip to the hour the dispatch was closed, there had been no fighting since yes terday. The Federal forces were reconnol tering the position. A gentleman just in from CentreviUe, at six o’clock this morning, reports that all was quiet during and that no movement was anticipated to-day; and that the only alarm during the night was by the picket ?uard. It is ascertained that about 30 of our roops were killed and wounded duriug yes terday’s engagement at Boll’s Run. The re bels are still & possession ot the batteries, and it is expected that they will make a stand at that point CoL Wilcox’s Brigade arrived ft Centro ville from Fairfax Station last night. The Federal forces lay over to-day to reconnolter. It is expected they will attack the batteries again to morrow. A negro from the secessionist’s camp re ports that his master, CoLfFountaln, of War renton, was killed, together with a large num ber of rebels. This statement is corroborated by a member of the Ist Massachusetts Regi ment, who was in the engagement The hat of our killed and woundea has not yet been made out. Later and Conflicting Accounts. New Tork, July 19.—The Commercial^ ays information has been received at the war de partment that the rebel battery at BuU’s Run has been taken by our troops. Particulars have not yet transpired. A special dispatch from Mr. Raymond to the Times says our loss is 100 killed and wounded. This wUi hasten the attack on Manassas, which will doubtless be made to-morrow. The Reb els had rifled cannon. They lost a few men. A special to the Tribune says the Secretary of War says there are more than 50 kiUed and wounded, among them five Captains and six Lieutenants. Another source reports that tbe works were carried by the Zouaves and Mas sachusetts sth. There is no doubt the enemy are now falling back, and the rumor that Ma nassas is occupied is perhaps only a Uttle pre mature. A special dispatch to the World says there is no truth m the report that a battle is going on at Bull’s Run to day. An official dispacth to Gen. Scott says the army has made no new movement yet; nor is it likely to before to morrow. A special dispath to the iW says the offi cial report states that twelve of our men were killed and- forty wounded yesterday. It is thought more of our men were killed and wounded in the woods near the creek. Th<b rebel loss is supposed to be a heavy one. . Philadelphia, July 19.—-The Inquirer of this city has a special dispatch saying that a terrible battle was going on all night at Ma nassas Junction, and that the Stars and Stripes now float over it. Another special to the In quirer says that the capture by Federal troops of Manassas has been announced in Congress. Another dispatch to the Associated Press eajs that the fight waa still going on at Boll's Run. WASmKQTON, July 19.—C0l Richardson Representative from Illinois, arrived here at two o'clock to-day, from the seat of war. Up to the time he left Bull’s Ron (8 o’clock this morning) there had been no general fight since ye sterday. At six o’clock there were oc casional shots by skirmishers on both sides. General McDowell Informed Col Richardson that he should first examine the location of the enemies batteries before again engaging the foe. Col Richardson says Gen. McDow ell thinks forty will cover the number killed and wounded, and of these, three were killed, twenty-nine wounded, and the roet missing. The Affair on tbe', Kanawha—Good PlucJc of the.Oirio Boys.

On reaching the creek, four miles from Gen. Cox’s head quarters they discovered the enemy, number ing 1,500, strongly entrenched on leaving HUI, with a masked battery of two guns. On reach ing the Creek, our men were fired upon from ibe masked battery, and from a log house. Our men, after firing 40 rounds, crossed the Creek and silenced the masked battery, bat their ammunition giving out, they were com pelled to retire. Claib.

THE ADVANCE OF THE ARMY: 1 Engagement at Bnll'g Run. FEDERAL TROOPS STAHD NOBLY. REBELS PBEPARUG TO LEAVE HASASSAS. WASHZssros, July 18.—A number of tro phies were brought here to-day taken in the rout of the rebels, including tire commissa ry’s tents of 3d South Carolina Regiment, a lot of clothing, hats, boots, guns, palmetto buttons, &c. The dreaded masked batteries turned out to be only ill-constructed breast works. Reports are prevalent, and credited, that a fight of minor importance took place at 801 l Run, five miles from Manassas Junction, and several •were killed and wounded on the Fed eral side, from a hatter;. An officer from the seat of war, who reached hereto night, brings information that the troops which marched from Fairfax Court House, appeared before Centreville about one o’clock this morning. The; halted within half a mile of the enemy’s entrenchments, and instead of a battle, the; suddenly saw the national flag hoisted over the town, and a solitary man running down the line announcing that the enemy hid fled. The band played the Star Spangled Banner, amid the cheering of the Federal troops. It is said there were 7,000 or 8,000 confederates at Centreville, but the number was probably much exaggerated. They took their cannon with them. It is stated on the authority of several officers that the news of Gen. McClel lan’s victories were generally known at Ma nassas. The army was to march on Manassas Junction this evening. The EeraXd'i camp correspondent says, the fact is established that the rebel force at Fairfax was composed of their crack regi ments. The retreat of these men without showing fight, will demoralize the whole force at Manassas Junction. A signal dispatch from Gen. Beauregard to Gen. Cocke, commanding the rebel forces at Germantown, was found. He instructed him to keep a particularly careful look-out on Thursday evening, thereby showing that some traitors in Washington apprised the rebels of the time of the advance. Late this aftemoona gentleman arrived direct from Richmond by way of Manassas Junction. He left their.last night. He reports that there were at Manassas last night only 12,000 men. There means of defence were elaborately pre pared ; but It is his opinion that they wul not withstand an assault. They had at the June- tion 150 Railroad cars. On Sunday night Beauregard went to Richmond. The command at the Junction devolved on Gen. Crewshaw, second in command. At Richmond there was s military consultation as to what course would be pursued. It was after this confer ence that the immense train of cars was sent up to the Junction. This is a significant fact It is now believed that the rebels will leave the Junction and make their first grand stand at Richmond, They have already mounted TO cannon of large calibre, and have some ten thousand whites and negroes at workday and night on the defences. Gen. Tyler’s column moved at four o’clock this morning and passed through CentreviUe without firing a gun.. They halted abouttwo miles beyond, while a reconnoitering party went to a creek called BuU’s Run. A con- cealed battery opened on our troops, wound ing a ecrgeant. Two of our heavy guns were brought to bear on them, and soon silenced the rebel battery. Col Richardson’s brigade were then sent out skirmishing, and soon woke up the rebel batteries on the other side, which were followed by a heavy fire of mus ketry, which was returned by our men. The engagement lasted half an hour, but they were too well protected and were too much for the small force oppoeed to them. Oar men fell back somewhat, but in good order. The rebels, whose flag floated from a mill, cheered lustily. At this moment, a shell from the new battery to the left, hitherto silent and urknown, burst on the top of the hill, where our first battery had been stationed, and where there were a number of civilians. Sew* era] casualties occurred, but no one was mor tally wounded. Several were wounded by bullets. Edwin Morse, Go. A, 3d Michigan Regiment, was struck by a bomb in the knoe. The wound is regarded as severe, bat not dangerous. AH on the hill, both civilians and military men, deemed it prudent to with draw. The telegraph operator at Springfield sta tion, however, reports that heavy cannonad ingwaa heard there between five and six. We have mentioned above the names of all the wounded whom we saw, but there is do dobt that a considerable number of our men fell, who were taken to the rear otter we left. LATER DISPATCHES. Washington,’ July 19. —News from Centre ville, of yesterday, is received with full partic ulars of the engagement at Boll's Ron. There are but tew additional items of interest. Three companies of the Massachusetts First Regi ment were the first engaged, and were cross* lug a ravine, when they they received a rak ing fire, killing a number. They gallantly sustained their position, and covered the re treat with a brass cannon of Sherman’s Bit* tcry, the horses having completely dis abled by the fire, until relieved by the Michi gan Second and New York Twelfth. The federal forces then took positions on a hifl. Two rifled cannon were planted In front sup ported by Capt. Brackett's Company C, Sec ond Cavalry, with a line of infantry composed of the Second Regiment of Michigan and the Twelfth New York Regiment in the rear. A steady fire was kept up on both sides in this position. The rebels had two batteries of eight pieces in a position commanding the road. They used their guns well. They did not reply to our return fire for half an hour, during which time they were receiving large reinforcements. While we were again ad vancing, we were met with a raking fire. Oar guns were again put in position,and we poured grape and canister among the enemy till the supply was exhausted. Capt. Ayres, of the Artillery, lost one man killed and three wounded, and several of his pieces were disabled. The New York 12th suffered most, and the Massachusetts Ist next. Total loss on our side estimated at 30 killed and 40 wounded. At half-past nine Gen. Ty ler ordered to retire. The day was excessive ly hot, and horses suffered for water. Only about 1,000 of our forces were at oue time en gaged. The rebels were estimated at 4,000, Col Wilcox’s division, including the Fire Zouaves, moved from Fairfax Station to-night to flank the enemy. This battery is thought to be one of a line of batteries from Aooutmk Creek to Manassas. Our troops did not re treat, as represented in some quarters, but only retired for a more effectual engagement Flag Presentation. Boston, July 18.—A splendid banner was last evening presented to tbe Massachusetts 12th (Fletcher Webster’s) regiment. Edward Everett making the presentation. The Regi ment is ready for immediate service. Burnett Denouncing (lie Stan and Stripe*. [Correspondence of the N. T. Tribune.] Caldwell Co. tKy., July 12,186 L I noticed in the proceedings of the House of Representatives, the other day. a protest from the Hon. H. A. Burnett, of Linn Boyd’s old district, in this State, against the unjust and fratricidal war which the Administration Is waging against the Rebels. There is an in teresting chapter in Mr. Burnett’s life, which the people should know, in order to properly understand what this M. C. means by an un just war. Some days before the straight-out Union men bad raised a pole and run up the national flag, which was flying on Breckinridge’s arri vaT. A large crowd was in town, the rebels being largely in the majority. Barnett ad dressed the crowd in front of the tavern, and denounced the national flag as the infamous Black Republican Lincoln banner, and said it was an outrage and an insult that such a flag should be suffered to pollute the air of Ken tucky. Me called on the croud to tear it down and trample it in the dust / A large number of Union men, many of them old men, instantly fathered round the flag-staff, with pistols and nlves, determined to kill the first one who should attempt to follow the counsels of Bur nett. Undoubtedly blood would bare been shed bad not several persons of both parties gone to Breckinridge's room and asked him to put a stop to the jphtn which was about to be put in execution. Ho-came ont and advisedthe crowd to desist from their attempt. Hr. Burnett, since his election, has been in NashvOl in con ference with the leading traitors there, and, I have no doubt, Is now sending intelligence to the rebels of all that he can pick np in Wash ington. He is the most dangerous spy at the Capital. It is not at all strange that he pro tests against voting men and money to carry on the war and vindicate the honor of a flag which he said should bo trodden under The Union men ofhis district firmly believe that Burnett has no more business in Congress than Jeff Davis, or Cobb, or Beauregard. They regard him as a spy and traitor. A Kentucky Siaybholdub. The Scrimmage Near Fulton, into, The Rev.
