) A Gbaphic Accot'?iT.—a Georgia Cftptaln thus de
scribes what he saw of the battle of Mauassas; —
1 We were made to lie down just behind the bat-
■ tery, in order to escape in some measure the shot,
shell, bombs, grape and cannister and every d^d-
ly mi,s.sile the inventive genius of the infernal
j Yankees could suggest. For two hours we lay there,
; three fires converging right over us—two rifled
batteries and 800 of Wood’s sharp-shooters—who
got to pouring it into us before we were ordered
to charge. For the whole two hours, without
any cessation, the air was filled with grape and
cannister, and the fragments of bursting bomba
and shells—sometimes a shell would burst just
over us and bring death by the wholesale—one
shell burst over Edmund.son’s company, killing
five men, mortally wounding another, and killing
' one man in the 27th. To add to the horror of the
, scene, and, if possible, to try the men’s nerves, to
' the utmost, just about the time the enemy’s fire
i was hottest, a bomb struck one ot our caissons,
igniting the ammunition in it and causing it to
i explode with a tremendous noise; the scene was
' indescribable, and yet our men remained firm as
their own native hills—not a man in any compa
ny changed his position. For two long, two mor
tal hours, we endured this terrible ordeal, ex
pecting every moment to be mangled out of the
form of humanity.
At last, the welcome^ words came from Jack
son’s own lips—“r/> 4fh, and charge.” And
I what a relief it was to spring up and feel that we
i could strike at least one blow in self defence, that
' we could meet death fighting and not be killed
lying helpless on the ground. Tp sprang every
man, and the direction being indicated where we
were to charge, we went, under three fires as I
. have already told you, SCO Fire Zouaves imme
diately in front, backed by the New York 69th,
a battery in their rear and a little to their right
in the same field, another battery in a cornfield
still farther to the right. On the men went
steadily and firmly; my company had two low
fences to cross, we sprang over the first without
let or hindrance, but when we came to the second
the tnost terrific volley of the whole day was
poured into us just as we were getting over; five •
I men fell dead around me, in a space I think, of
less thai\ 20 feet square; they were men of other
companies, got mixed up with mine in crossing
the tence. I never heard any thing like the
whistling of bullets just at this point; the very
air seemed laden with iron hail ail around me;
I they tiew to my right, to my left, and over my
head, scattering death around about me, yet not
one touched me. The homely language of Craw
ford Stevens very well describes the battle as we
crossed the fence. He crossed the fence by my
side, under that fearful volley. Recounting bis
experiences ot the battle to me, afterwards, he
remarked “well Captain, the. »hotirpr wan powerful
thirk thar ahnr we crossed the fence.” Craw
ford told the truth, the shower was powerful thick.
But, notwithstanding all, our men sprang over
the fence lietennined and vndaitnfed. As soon
as they got over, they answered the volley with a
cheer that was good to hear; it sounded defiance,
and the Yankees knew full well what it meant,
for the sound had not yet died away, when they
cut dirt and ran as never men ran before. But
thc3' were too slow for our swift messengers of
death; seeing no chance to reach them with the
bayonet, our men commenced to fire upon them,
and strewed them thick all over the field. The
celebrated Fire Zouaves were almost annihilated
before they could get beyond the fatal aim of our
mountain boys. We soon clearcd the bushes of
the rascals, and saved our battery. The remnant
of our regiment pursued and engaged ttio 79th
N. Y. in the cornfield.
Fresh regiments on our side came up quickly
and engaged the other Yankee regiment'^; they
began to retreat, the cavalry were ordered to
charge, the retreat became a rout, and the sun
went down on a bloody but gloriously won field. I
can speak knowingly of my own men; they fought
more like veterans of an hundred battles than
men who were never under fire before.
The lih'^'hnde Qtipsfinii.—The Ijondon Globe
and the Shipping (lazette attack the details of
the blockade.
The IVst .‘^ays if FiUgland drifts into the Ameri
can (]uarrt'l, tlie fnn1t will bo with Lincoln, who
has attempted a blockade which he cannot render
complete.
The London Times ridicules and laughs at the
threats of a j)rominent Xew York journal against
England’s going into the ports.
it fears th»4que'tion of blockade in America
may involve England in some difficult complica
tion. And remarks that there is a little cloud
which, although only as large as a man’s hand,
mnji/ come to overshndoic the whofe sky.
On the last day of the session Lord Palmerston
stated his views on the question of blockade. He
said, in efTect, if the blockading force should al
low nvy onp vessef to enter n hforkndrd port hy the.
pat/ment of duties, the blfu knde from thnt mo
ment h raiatd—A belligerent may seal up a port,
hvt if he lets one vessel /n his rii/ht is tjoue. It
follows, therefore, that when a Federal cruiser
willinsly allows a ship to pass a blockaded port up
on payment, of customs, the blockade icIU he at
an end.

,Seressio7iists in Washini/fon—The New \ ork
Herald, of Saturday, say®: “Treason is rampant
in Washington, and there is no denying the fact,
humiliating and ungrateful as it may be to the
loyal citizens of the f’nion.” The Herald then
gives enumeration of 1 “known seeessionists,”
and 75 “suspected,” in the different departments.
This is a pretty good showing, under the circum
stances. It will be a great deal better when we
^et there.—Richmond Whiy.
Rather Close.— A Yankee rifletnan in the late
fight seeing a cannon ball bury itself in a bank
near him, sprang to the hole it had made, saying
“Shoot away; you can’t hit twice iti the same
place.” Instantly another shot struck a tew feet
distant, covering the fellow with sand and gravel.
Emerging from his new quarters, he continued
the unfinished sentence, “but you carne so pesky
near it that the first hole is unconifortable.”
One effect in the establishment of our Gov*
ernment of an independent system of patents has
been to throw the va.st number of Yankee parent
monopolies, many of them of the hugest kind,
into public use. All of the vast India rubber
Sewing Mslthines and Colt’s patent pistols, upon
which Yankee inventors and hordes of lobbymen
have made immense fortunes, are thrown open to
public manufacture «nd use.—A’.tawjner,
