(Jur los* is small. At the Jiolivar fight, two Federal t'"! longed th.‘ line of batth^ far to the right, stretch ing beyond the line of the Manassas dap railroad. it is thus seen th;it ;i point on the Warrenton 'I'umpike, u mile and a lialf West of (Jroveton, was tlic centre ol our position, and the apex of our creseent, whose convexity was towards the We^t. It was here, in an interval between Jack.son’s right and Longstreet’s left that our artillery was jdaeed. Kiglit batteries were jdant- ed on a comm-anding elevation, and were greatly distinguished early in the battle by their bril liant execution. The enetMy’s line of battle conformed itself to ours, and took, therefore, a crescent form, of which the centre or more advance portion was at (rroveton, whence tlie wings declined obliquely to the right aud left. Their liatteries were in rear ol their infantry, and occujiied the hills which they hud held in the tight of July. LS()1, tmt pointed differently. Hattie w'as joined between the artillery about 12 o’clock; and ttie terrible execution of ours was evidenced by the mangled corpses of the enemy which our subsequent advance disclosed. A number of them lay in the road at (}roveton, and on the hills around. Not long after, Jackson’s wing became engaged, and about 1 o’clock P. M. the battle was raging along the whole line. I he bearing of our troops, as they pre.ssed for ward to the battle, is described as magnilieent. Jackson s lelt advancing more rapidly than his right, swept around by the Pittsylvania House and pressed the enemy back towards the turn pike; wh le Longstreet, making au analagous move on his wing, crowded back those in front of hiiii towards the Henry hills. Hoods Brigade formed ijongatreet’s left, and, of cotirse, charged next the turnpike. In its trdck it met Sickles . lijxcelsior Brigade, and al most annihilated it. The ground was piled with the slain. Pickett’s Brigade was on the right of Hood’s, next came Jenkins' Brigade, and next i riu- Crossinj into M'l ri//,i.—'I'ht* Kiiquircr ol the iUh says:— 'i’he general adviincc ot the army, 'elected from our combined lorces. took placc on Friday', and the ‘‘crossing ot the Kubicon” was accomplished in excellent order. On the Thursd.-iy evt-ninir preceding, (Jeneral Stuart advanced with liis com mand within eight miles of .-Mexandria, and made a feint upon the enemy's lines. Pope fancying that a general attack w:ia nuditJtted, placed his army in preparation, and held them in line of battle during the night, sleeping on their arms. When morningcame,(Jen. Stuart had disappeared. , 'J he intervening time had been occupied by our troops in pushing on to Fdw’ards' Ferry, where they cro.ssed with little difficulty, the I’otomac being very low, and no enemy appearing to oj»pose their progress. The men were exultant as they dashed into the stTeam, and became inspired with the most sanguine expectations of the speedy dis- enthrallment of Maryland and the downfall of the l^’ederal Capital. Of their operations after cross ing we can, of course, as yet give no account. The Examiner, same date, says:— I'hough we have carried an immense army into Maryland, we have still troops enough left on the South bank of the Potomac to J^eep the enemy within his lines. The poii.t at which our army will tirst strike in Maryland, is, of course, tvs yet a matter of conjecture, i'opular opinion has de cided that it will be the Relay House. The ad vantage to us and the injury to the enemy of our po8.session of this point, are obvious and al-* most incalculable. Here is the grand junction of the Baltimore and Ohio and the Baltimore and Washington railroads, the highways upon which the armies of Ijincoln mainly depend for supplies and reinforcements. By these roads are being hurried forward the myriads called unwillingly into the Northern service by the draft. In the event of our occupation of the point, their only chance of reaching Washington would be by tho single track railway, from Annapolis, or by the slow and circuitous routs of the Potomac river. The Yankee newspapers hint that G-eneral Wool, with seventy thousand men, is at the Relay House. rati- their assertion with some.-jhow of plausibility, that th- S'^uith >uini4 be coutjutrrd. f 'i xin tht IntrUij’- uctr.

Th' i iinhcf lir trent from Manassas.—The re treat of the enemy is described in its first stages as -A wild, frenzied rout; the great mass of the enemy moving at a full run, scattered over the fields and t-rampling upon the dead and living in the m:id agony of their flight. The whole army was converted into a niob; regiments and com panies w'erc no longer distinguishable; and the panic stricken fugitives were slaughtered at every step ot their retreat—our cavalry cutting them down, or our infantry driving their bayonets into their backs. In crossing Bull Bun, many' of the etiemy were drowned, being literally dragged and crushed under the water, w’hich w'aa not more than waist Jeep, the crowds of frenzied men pressing and tramp- ling upon each other in the stream. On reaching Centreville the flight of the enemy was arrested by the appearance of about thirty thousand fresh Yankee troops. The ma.ss of fugitives was here rallied, to the extent of forming it again into col umns, and with this appearance of organization the retreat was continued to W'^ashington, The scenes of the first battle of Manassas are said to have been excelled in the sublime and terrific drama enacted for the second time on thesa blood stained plains.—Rich.
