The latest reports from Washington
represent everything as quiet at Washing-,
tor. The fear of an immediate attack
6Lt,ms to have abated.
THIS ABlifdL MIOON.
A dispatch in the Associate Press report,
U'. ; s morning, saying that the attacks on
the Administration in the 2sew York jour
nals rre though*-to hare been ms;:gated
by the secessionists, is one of Cameron’s
lii.cst touches. The Administration has
not been attached. The dittuibea against
1 1.0 mtoiagement of the War Department
—that means Cameron—hare been bitter,
frequcir and well deserved; and tf they'
aioihcworh of secessionists, the whole
c< urlry has been tampered with; because
evf ry man of whom we hare heard, from
ilaine 1o Iscbraska, utters his name only
wilh objurgations. That story won’t do.
XilE LASfcSr Lie.
A story that Lee and Kosecrans had
had mi encounter in "Western Virginia, and
that Lee was routed, losing sixteen pieces
of cannon and all his military stores, was
circulated on the street last evening, and,
cn the faith of a real or bogus dispatch
posted in the Tremont House, was gener
ally believed. It is unquestionably false—
one of those canards recklessly invented
and greedily believed in a time of high pub
lic excitement like the present. We can
not too strongly urge upon our readers the
observance of a proper degree of caution
in regard to baseless stories which
thoughtless men put afloat to hear theta
s'lves talk and to make others wonder.
ABZUS fOK £A.SI' riiMSESSEE.
Again we hate the assurance from
Washington that the loyal men of Ten
nessee are to be armed, and this time the
assurance is accomp mied with deeds. The
men cl" Kentucky, and the Tennessee
fugitive?- in that Slate, have now 13,000
s;ai)d of arms, and a comprehensive plan
is said to be in progress for the complete
fulfillment of the hopes of lids brave but
beleaguered people. Lei it be done now,
ani thoroughly done, and what has been
Lst by delay may yet be recovered. Gen.
Zcllicofler, and other rebel emissaries,
have doubtless made considerable head
way in “ harmonizing differences,” (as they
call i,) In this portion of Tennessee,
though the sweeping assertions of a
Memphis dispatch this morning are
rather ahead of the truth, if not quite re
freshing as falsehoods. Wc seem to see

VOLUME XIV.
BATTLE OF BULLETIN.
Mr. Bussell’s Account of the Fight.
COMMENTS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS. 1
Our rearers are not enough interested in j
Mr. Bussell to care about the difficulties he '
encountered in getting to ‘Cectreville. We j’
copj his letter about tbs 801 l Ran disaster,
beginning at the point where he first saw it.
On our left front a gap in the lowest chain
of ihe hills show id the Gap of Siaoaseas, and
to the lelt and nearer to tia lay the “Junction”
of the same name, where the Alexandria Rail
way unites with the railway from the west of
Virginia, and continues the route Dy rails of
various denomir ations from Richmond. The
ectne was sp peaceful a man migne wed doubt
the evidence of one’s sente that a grca„contest
was being played cut below in Dioodthsd, or
imagine, as Mr. Seward eomcttmeß does, that '
it was a delusion when he wakes in the morn- |
ingacd finds there is civil war upon him, 1
But the cannon spoke out loudly from the ;
green bushes, and the plains below were mot- 1
tied, so to speak, by pnffc of smoke and by j
white rings irom bursting shells and capricious ’
howitzers; It was no review that wa* going !
on beneath u«. The thello gave proof enough •
of tta:, though the rush of the shot could I
cot be heard at the distance. Clouds of dost
esnreup in regular:lints through the tree
tops where Infantry were acting, and now and
then their wavering mists o» light bine smoke
curled up, and the splatter of musketry broke
through the booming of the guns, with the
glass I could detect now and tnen the flash of
arms thiough the duet clouds !n the opening,
but n* one could tcli to which side the"troops
who were moving belonged, and X could
only judge frem the smoke whether the
gun* were fired towards or away from
the hUh It was evident that the du=t ia
the distance on our right extended Ucyond
that which rose from" tie K&ilon&U. Tae
view toward tic lelr, aa I haye w«ss later* ]

tiers than cn ihe from -or right fia&k, pad a
glade was pointed cut in the' threat as tije be-'

reply to the fihahs thrown mb ttdr cover
earjy_ia the momir-g. -TTiew-«eesaccrtt> oe a
xjcmuDUoue line, which was held by the enemy,
from which came steady, ©olid fifiogArainat
what might be supposed to be heads c* col
umns eutioaed at vjoloub points or advancing
ngaii si them. It w>-6 uoccseaiy to feed the
‘•cists and give thus wine rest sifter a hot
drive cf some twcnty-xiic cr twenty seven
miles, or I would have- preceded-at once to
the frost. As I was was watching the faces of
the Senators and Congressmen, I thought X
had heard or read of ouch a scene as this—
but there was much more to come. - T ae sol
diers who followed each shot warn remarks la
El glich cr German, were not as eager as men
generally are in watching a fight. Once, as a
cloud of thick smoke ascended from the trtes,
a man shouted out, u That’a good—we’ve
taken another battery*; there gees the maga
zine.” But it looked like, and I believe wa?,
the explosion of a caisoo. la the midst of our
little reconnoisance Mr. VizeteUy, who has
been living and, indeed, marching with one of
the regiments as artist of the liluttraUd Lon •
don -Yews, came np and tola ue the acnou had
been commenced in splendid style by I eFed
eraliete, who had advanced steadily, driving
the Confederates before them—a part ot t-*e
plan, as 1 firmly believe, to brieg them under
the range of their puns. He tfeileved the ad
: vantages on the Ft derall&i side were decided,
though won wlihtard fighting, and he hid just
conic np to Ceritrcvihe to look after some
thingto tat and diitk, and to procure little ne
cessaries, in case of need, for hit comrades.
Dis walk very probably caved his life. Hiv
ieg seen ali that cou>a be discerned through
cur glasses, my friend and myself had made
a least on cur sandwiches in the shade of tne
bugfey *, my horse was ca’ icg an resting, asd I
w*s"lorrea to give him hall an hour or more
be erc I mounted, and meauvime tried to
mats out the plan of battle, but all was ob
scure and dark. Suddenly up rode an officer,
with a crowd of soldiers after him, from the
Tillage, ‘‘We've whipped them on all points!”
he shouted. “We’ve taken their batteries,
snd they’re all retreating!” Such an uproar
as followed. The spectators and ths men
cheered again and again, amid cries of
“Bravo!” “Bully for us J” “Didn’t I tel you
&o ?” and gutteral “hochs” from the Deutsch
land folk, and loud “hurroos” from the Irish.
Soon afterwards, my horse was brought up,
and my friend aiffi the gentleman I nave al
ready mentioned set cut 10 walk towards the
front —the latter to jria his rerritnent if pos
sible, the former to get n closer view of the
proceedings. As I turned down into the nar
row road, or lane, already mentioned, there
was a ferward movement among the large
four-wheeled tilt wagons, which raised a good
deal of dust. My attention was particularly
celled to fbla by the occurrence ot a few min
utes afterwards. I Lad met my friends on the
road, and after a few words, rode forward at a
loxg trot as well as I coaid past the wagons
and through the dust, when there arose a tu •
1 mult In front of me at a small bridge across
s tfce road, end then I jferctivcd the drivers
. of a set of wagons, with the horses turned
' towards me, who were endeavoring to lores
» their way against the stream of vehicles setting
i in the other direction. By the side of the
new set cf wagons there were a number of
commissariat men and soldiers, whom atfifet
5 fight I took to be the baggage guard. They
i looked excited and alarmed, and were ranting
- by the side cf the horse*—-ru front the dust
, qcl e obscured the v’ew. At the bridge the
* currents met in wild disorder. “Tarn back!
Btfreai!” shouted the men from the front ,
“We’re whipped, we're whipped!” They
. cuistd stdtutged at the horses’ hcvk?, and
struggled with frenzy to get past. Banning
9 by me was a man with toe ehoulder-sirips of
> t an officer. ‘Tiny w bat if the matter, sir “It
means wc at* pretty badly whipped, and
“ iutl’s a fact,” he blurted out in puffs, and
- c**eer. I observed lint n-: Cif
r ii<d:os*ord. The teamsters of ilie aiv.rnc
imr wrgens now caught up the cry. “Tiira
back—jury your korst*,” was the shout up tbe
wb le lice, and backing, pinning, faring

tude, an officer, o-corttd by some dra
gcons, rode through the ruck with a light cirt
in c-c.ge. Asomcr officer ou loot, with his
it fffUG UiO?-r his arm, ran up against me,
“What a 1 this?” WcVe all in ryt-uat.

And on re ier. There caroe another, wno
tola, “V'. c‘ie bti-tvii ca aU pcimta.’’ The
wLi;b: ormy .a in retreat.” Still there was no
flight o I troops, no retinal of an army, no rea
son for all fti? precipilaticn. True, then
were many men in uniionn flying sewards the
r<tr, tut it not appear as !f tb*y werd
b;yond the proportions ot a large baggigs es
coi t. I got my horse up into the field out of
the road, and went on rapidly towards the
f-ent. Scon I met soldiers who were coming
U. rough the com, mostly without arms; aod
presently I etw firelocks, cooking tins, knap
sacks, and gtcat-coats on the ground, and ob

bagerge-corfr, became greater, aua tbit miny

with harness clinging to their hods, as fright

blocked up. On I rode, asking, “What is aU

But where was the fiend V I looked In vain.
J.® There was, indeed, some cannonading in front
z'f cf me and in their rear, but still the firing
was comparatively distant, and the runaways
i- were lor out of range. As I advanced the
J? number of carts diminished, but themoontec
ii T men increased, and the column of fugitives
Jr became denser. A few buggies and light wag
7T ons filled with men, whose faces would have

gtther with their arms, and closing up the ■
1 stragglers of the first regiment. I turned,
i. and to my surprise, saw the artillerymen bad
1 gone off, leaving one gun standing by itself
They had retreated with their hordes. While
we were on the hill, I had and point
ed out .to my companions a cloud of dust
which ro?e through the'trees on our right
front In my present Dosi'ion, that
place mus bare t>een onthe right reir, and It ’
occurred to me that after all thererooily might :
be a body of cavalry in feat ‘dfraption, but
Murat himself would not hare
wagons in that deep, well-fenced lane. If the ;
dust ceme, as I believe it did. from field artil- i
Itry, that would be a Different’ matter. Any
; way, it was now well established' that the re
| treat had already commenced, though 1 eaw
j but few wounded men, and the regiments
: which were falling back had not suffered much j
j less. No one seemed to know anything for
I certain. Even the cavalry charge was a ru-
I mor. Several'officers said they had carried
| guns and lines, hut the© they driftedinto the
j nonsense which one reads and bears every
-1 ; where about “masked batteries,” One or
I | two talked mote sensibly about the strong
t I position of the .enemy, the fctigae of their
* i nun, the want cf - a reserve, severe
1 1 lessee, and the bad conduct or certain
i ! regiments. Net one spoke as if he thought
sj o: rstiring beyond Centrevlile. The- clouds
ft I of dust rit-ing above the woods marked the re
f j treat of the whole army, and the crowds of
5 j fugitives continued to steal away along the
| 1 road. The sun was declining, ami womb SO
1 i miles yet remained to be accompilshtid. ere I - -
2 i could hope to gain the shelter of
1 ' Noo*eknew whither, any.corps or regiment
1 ; «is marching, buc-tbete were rumors or all
i j kinds—'“Tbe Sixty-ninth arc cat to,pieces
e ; “ Ihe Fire Zouaves are destroyed,” and so ou.
* j Presently a tremor ran through the men by
f j wfiom I was riding, as the sharp reports of
rattled through the wood
j-'s at band. A sort of subdued roir, like i
c j ihs voles cf dißissiv breakers, ro=e. in ‘rout of I
n ! U3,&nd the foldiefs, who were, I |
c ! nats, broke into a doable, looking now and 1

X and tearful, nevertheless* d their proximity,
clamored and shouted lute madmen as they
-1 10m The road, woe now iitoraiij covered with
bsggsge, It seemed to me as if the men in
f-ido were throwing the things out puruosely.
“Stop,” med It® the driver of cne'of the
carte, “everything ia falling out.” “ ——
you,” shouted a i«3low inside, “if you Stop
him I’ll blow your brains out ” My attempts
to cave Uncle Sam’s prc-peity were then
and there discontinued. On approaching {
Ostreville a body of German infantry I
of the reserve came marching down ami I
stemmed the current in some degree, they ;
were followed by a brigade of guns and anota
er battalion of fresh troop?. I tamed up the
hill half a mile beyond. The .vehicles had all
left but two—my buggy waa gone. A ba-tery
or field guns was m pcevtlc-n where we bad
been standing. The men looked well As yet
there was nothing to indicate tnolre than a re
treat and seme ill-behavior among the wagon
ers and riff raff of different regiments. Cen
-1 Irtville was not a bad position, properly oc
-1 culled, and 1 saw no reason why it should sot
be held, if it was meant to renew the attack,
scr any reason why the attack should not be
renewed, if there had been any why It should
have beer made. I swept the field once more.
TLe clouds ol oust were denser and nearer.
That was all There was no Snog-mo mus

their horses, or leaped down and abandoned

convulsion as it were seized upon the morbid
mass of bones, sinew, wood and iron, and
thrilled through it, giving new energy aud ac

arose. “ What are you afraid ot ?” said
I to a man who was running beside
me. “ I’m not afraid of you,” re
plied the ruffian, leveling his piece
al me, and pulling the trigger. It was not
loaded, or the cap was not on, for the gun did
not go off. I was unarmed, and 1 did go off
as fast as I could, resolved to keep my own
counsel for the second lime that day. And sc

our certainty about it, and shouted at isolated

an hour, however, we seemed to bs traveling
along a road which in nil its points iar and

the silent grim wood forever by onr sides.
Now and then in the proiouod gloom, broken
only oy a spark from the horse’s hoof, came
a culi bet lamiliar sound like th“ shnttleg of
a distant doer. As I approached Washington,
baling hit the Colonel and his escort at e Jme
seven miles on the south side of the Long

quiv tit a under the steps of a rabble of un
armed men. At the Washington end a regi

over into Virginia, tinging and cheering. Be
fore the morning they received orders, I be
lieve, to assist in keeping Maryland quiet
For the hundredth time, I repeated the cau

edge was true. There were men, women and
soldiers to hear it The clocks had just struck
11 p' M. as I passed Willard’s. The parera-at
itUront of the hall was crowd-d. Tue ru
mors of defeat had come in, but few of the
naanywho had been fed upon lies, aod the re

could credit ihe intelligence. Seven hours
had not elapsed before the streets told the

Then came a most difficult operation—to
withdraw this, army, so constituted, out of

tepu £fcd it. Toe retirement of the baggage,

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS OJT THE BATTLE.
[From the London Times, Aug. 7.j
“ The dleserstons which arose some months
ago In the United States of North America,
Lave unfortunately assumed the cha-acter of
open war.” Such Is the tranquil comment of
the Royal speech upon the events in the New
World, which have fallen so unexpectedly up
on the tar ot Europe. Our Qaecu has reflect
ed, with an excellent fidelity, the feeliugs ot
her people. Auer the first surprise was over, ]
and when ihe “ Ged bless me! you don’t say !
sc?” had been said, we think we never heard
of a baffle in which 75,000 men seem to have
been engaged on each side, and which fell so
hlrnk upon the public ear, and engaged so lit
tle European interest. The face is, that we do
not like to laugh, and the sense of the rldicu
lour cemes too strong over u* when we would
he serious. It is a great battle without the
dignity of danger, or the painful interest ci
gn a f carnage. There are all the ridiculous in
cidents of stark fear and rabid terror, without
much real peri', and with very little ac
tual sudsing. We begin, to feel that
we ia.e been cheated out of our sym
pathies. ‘When this war broke out we
English all pictured to cur.'rives two

•certs that “the killed aud wounded, on cur
side will be between three and five hundred”
It is very difficult to gauge the solidity of
aovthing American—even oi a great battle.
■ We know that there was a great rant in front
of that gap which runs up into the hills, for
we were represented in the ruck, aud may eay
that we saw it with our own eyes and heard tae
cannonade with our own ©its. There is a
, : probability, also, that the number of men, pres
ent at the battle ©mounts to the high figure of
1 150 COO, for both accounts seem to agree upon
i this. Beyond these facts, however, everythiar
i : seems vegue and uncertain. The advance of

’ ; pragreKs of Xerxes to the Hellespont. Too “
great National victory of Ball Run, which 1
s was flashed over the Northern Slates and re- ▼
s corded in the Northern papers, was a thlag J
i , hovering for hours, while yet m print, upon «
the confines cf fancy and possibUity. The
a object rout, the ultimate reality, was what we a
o could have least ballcved. Perhaps we ought *
r to have anticipated that the same ferocious J
it men who bad burnt up the homesteads on t
)f their line of march would speed back over the c
•t , embers with pale laces in their panic flight I
3 But this never did occur to us. It requires 1
the testimony cf the Americans tbeniEcVrss J
and the witness of our own correspondent to
eue'sest to us that 75,000 American patriots
fli.B for 20 refits in a* agony of fe?.r, although
u-"* ocewas pursuing thcm,and that7s,ooo other
American patriots abstained from pursuing
three 75.000 mrules because they were not !u
--ed hew stark frlgatened these were. Even
the artillery were cot captured, but picked up.
The guca were Icil behind, because they Im
peded the flight cf the artillerymen, anl they
might have been to a great extent carried off,
if tic apprehensions of the gunners would
have allowed thereto tike advantage of the
ki.-rrs which the prudent conqueror was so
rer.dy to afford. On the other hand oar cor

right to the ht art of tbs North, that if Gee.

[From the London Telegraph.]
The battle of Ball Ran was a battle which,
:’f fifccond to Magenta or to Solferino in actual
flaughter, was marked with more envenomed
hostility. Tne dominant feeling in England
in this unhappy quarrel is one of unfeigned
and bitter sorrow. If Americans labor for one

most grievously mistaken.

The lower part of Delaware is tilled
with rebel 8,“ There are companies
of rebels oigamzed and armed there, as well

Quantities of arms aid muaitlbusofwarhave

or by vessels seaward, and landed on ihe
coast of the Eastern s’,ore of Virginia, con

It is estimated that there is now la that sec

CONDITION’ OF TEE POTOMAC.
In connection with the rumors of a con.

OEFICIAL REVIEW OF THE TROOPS.
This morning President Lincoln, accompa

by Gen. McClellan and £t:-ff, reviewed Gen.
McCall’s brigade, at Arlington. The party
were gone nearly all day. They inspected
nine infantry regiments, two batteries of ar
tillery, and a squadron of cavalry. General
McCall is the new Pennsylvania officer who
succeeds: McDowell in the command at Ar
lington, and thus far he has shown admirable
qualities. He was formerly, it will be remem

BARTLETT’S NAVAL BRIGADE.
A Union Coast Guard has been organized at

-REPORTS BROUGHT BT AN ESOAPED PRIS
Caxto>* Coppee Mixes, Franklin Co., Au
gust 20.—The correspondent of the Sh Louis
Democrat famishes the following intelligence:
“A sergeant belonging to a company of the
2d United States Dragoons arrived here to-day,
having escaped from the rebels by whom he
was taken prisoner at the last battle, near
Springfield. He reports that McCulloch was
mortally wounded, and died at Springfield the
morning after the battle. His bady wa? placed
in a tin lined coffin, which was filled with
whisky and closely sealed and sent Southward
on Thursday evening, accompanied by his
body guard and a few completes of soldiers.
He says Gen. Price was badly wounded, and
thinks he will not be able to tike command
again soon. The rebels were reinforced Sat
urday night after the battle, by 9,000 men nn
der Mcßride, very many of whom had no arms.
It was current among the reb .Is that 10,000
of their army wou.d make forced marches on
Jefferson City and take ft. His informant says
that the last charges by the Kansas and lows
regiments and the dragoons forced the enemy
three miles, where they waited sill
night, in constant expectation of again being
siticked. He says two more-regiments would
have driven the rebel army into Arkansas;
the terrible havoc made by Tettsn’s and Du
bois’ batteries having filled them with dismay,
lie thinks 6 OCO a low esiima f e of tbeir killed
end wounded. The troops with whom this
dragoon kept him in ignorance of the route
they pursued.bat told bim they were going to
join Gen, Pillow. From the description oflke
country through which they moved, it is be
lieved they were making for some point near
Pilot Knob.

the recent hot weather in the getting up of
the Twenty-Ninth' regiment—making two Wa
trips to Columbus, and traveling and speaking
all over the county—by which his physical
strength has been over-taxed.”
Raped Communication between Wash
ington and Richmond. —There are plenty of
active agents in Washington. It will be re
membered that when President Lincoln made T ,
his first call for seventy-five thousand men, Mj
Jeff Davis on the following day issued a pro
clamation calling for a hundred and fifty thou
sand ; and now that the President has issued _
proclamation interdicting all commercial ia- tt
ercoarse by sea or land with the States In re- 3
b&IUon, we find it as actively responded toby
the rebel chief who commands all Northern
ers to leave the Southern States within forty
daj s from the date of Ms proclamation. These ? i
are public facts, it is true, but they show that
before Washington news is well promulgated
at the North it is known in Richmond. The t (
Government ought to organize a detective <
corps to prevent these facilities of communi
cation being enjoyed by the insurrectionists,
and it would be desirable &t the sauce time to A
look into the several department? and sweep
the secessionists, some of who'll are doubt
let & rebel agents, out of the service. Tre-.i uteu
are aiding and assisting the re’oels under the
very eye of the Federal Gove mmsrit at Whsh- _
ington ia notorious, and tV -lr not having been ?
frustrated in their destiny., bciore this shows \
that there is great of duly somewuera. '
