Tho Bull's Run Battle. ! 11 Interwting Details by an Eye Witness. r Our Readers will find below n very ' * graphic description of the fight at Boll's | ( Itun, three miles from Manassas June- c • tion, on last Sunday week, as written by a Hon. II. J. Raymond, editor of N\ Y. a Times. The American people should e be familiar with the particulars of this j a j remarkable "battle ; it being the first in { which the National Army has been do- I ^ fcated with so 'large a force. Let every j one remember, that never upon these 1 | shore* hps so mighty a number of hu* s man beings met in mortal combat : '■ Washington, July 22, 18<»i. 1 The battle yesterday was one of the " . most severe and sanguinary ever fought ' on this continent, and it ended in tho ' failure of the Union troops to hold all s the positions which they sought to carry, s imd which they actually did carry, and in their retreat to Ccntreville. The nttaek was made in three columns, two of which however, were 1 mainly feints, intended to amuse and occupy tho enemy, while the substantial work was done by the third. It has 1 been known for a long time that the ^ •range of hillx-whtdi border-the stnnll, ' swampy stream known ns Bull's llun, 1 Imd been thoroughly and extensively * fortified by the rebels ; that batteries ' had been plutrtcd at every available j point, usually concealed in the woods and bushes which abound in. that vicinity, and covcrtog every way of approach ' " to tbo region beyond. These are the advance defences of Matinassns June lion, which is some three tuilss farther ' off. U "lil these were curried no approach could be made to tlin£ place ; mid nfirr ' tlo-y f.lniul.1 be corned other* of a airai- ! lar character would have to be overcome ' nl every poiut where they could be erected. ' * 1 The utmost dial military skill and In- ' ingenuity could uccuinpliah for the dct ' fense of this point dune. Gen. j McDowell was unwilling to make tin attack directly in the face of these batteries, as they woulll f.c of doubtful issue, and most inevitably result in u very se- ; rloos loss of life. After an attack had ' been rcsolvetl Upon, Iberefore, lie endeavored to find some »ny of turning the position His first intention wns to ' do this on the southern side — to throw ; a strong culuuin into * tho place from that direction, while a feigned a' tack should be made in front. On Thursday, wlieii the troops were advanced to Centreville, it wns found thai the roads ou the south side of these positions were almost impracticable —that they were narrow, -crooked and ston^, and that it | would be almost impossible to- bring up ' enough artillery to be effective in the , lime required.— This original plan was i ' therefore, abandoned ; and Friday was ' 1 devoted to an examination by the topographical engineers of the northern side ! of the position. Mnj Barnard and (Apt. Whipple rcconnoitered the place for ntlles around, and reported that the ; position' could be entered by a path ! coming from tho north — though it was somewhat long and circnitous. This ' was selected, therefore, us the mode nud I point of attack. On Saturday the troops were all brought closely up to Centrcville — and 1 all needful preparations were inodb for J * the next day. Yesterday morning, j therefore, the army marched — by two j roadi — Colonel Richardson with his | f command taking the southern, which j leads tu Bull's Run. and Gen. Tyler the , !. ! northern — running parallel to it «t a . dnfcance of about a mile and a half, ! Thd movement commenced at about 8 j . ' o'clock. I got up at a little before 4, , „ ; and fi^ind the lung line of troops rxten- ; - j ded 4ar«ul on either road. I took the j : j royfby wh'ch Col. Hauler with his camI mjpid, and Gen -McDowell and staff' - i h/d gouc, and pushed , directly for the ■ IVuut.. After going out aboat two J

milc-.v Col. Hunter turned to the right— I i marching obliquely towards the Run, t j which he was • to cross some four mile* t : higher up and then come down upon t | the eutfenched positions of the enemy f on the other side. Col. Miles was left f at Ccntreville and on the road, with re- | s . serves which he was to briug up when- t .ever they might bo needed. Gen. Ty- '< ler went directly forward, t » engage the i anemy in front, -and send reinforcements t Colonel Hunter whenever it should - ' 1 seen that he was engaged. I went out upon tho northern road. ' is hilly, like all the surface of this section. ^After going .out about three ' miles, you come to a puipt down which 1 ; the road, leading through a forest, «ic- 1 Bceud# ; then it proceeds liv n succcs- ; ' sion of rising and falling knolls for u quarter of a thiie, when it crosses n 1 stone bridge and then ascends by a steady slope to the heights beyond. At 1 the top of that slopo tho rebels had ' planted heavy batteries, and the woods 1 below were filled with their troops and 1 with concealed cannon. We proceeded 1 down the road to tho first of .the small 1 knolls mentioned, when tho whole col- c umn halted. The 30-pouuder I'arrott 1 1 ' gun. which lias a longer range than any 1 other in the army , wns plained directly I in the road. Copt. Ay res' battery wns & stationed in the wopds a little to the ' ; right. The First Ohio and Second 1 • New Yerk Regiment* were thrown into 1 the woods iu advance on the left. The J Sixty-ninth New York, the First, Second Third Connecticut Regimenis. wi re ' ranged behind them, and the Second ' Wisconsin was thrown into the - woods 1 on the right. At about hall past six . ' o'clock tho thirty-pounder threw two '• T shcilirtlireelly - into the battery nt the I Hiimniit of the slnjie, on the opposite ' height, one of which, ns I learned after- ; wards, struck ntid exploded directly 'tu " i ihs midst of the battery, an j occasioned « the tilmost havoc nud confusion. After about half uu hour Captain AjfeS threw i ( ten or fifteen shot end tdicli from his i battery into the same place. But both failed to elicit any reply. — Men could - ' be seen moving about the opposite slop I but tbo batteries were silent. An hour i or so afterward* we heard three of* four , heavy guns from Colonel Richardson's column at Bull's Ron, .and these were continued at intervals for two or three ; hours, but they were not answered, even ' by a single gnu. It was very clear that : the enemy intended to take hi# own time j in paying his respects to us, and that he j tucaut, moreover, to do it in his own ; way. Meantime we could hear in the • distance the sound of Colonel Hunter's axemen, clearing his way, and awaited ' with some impatience the souud of his ; cannon on the opposite heights. Time 1 wore along, with occasional shots f-o:n i our gttns, as well as those of Col. Rich- j I urdsou's column, but without, in a siu- I ; gle instance, receiving any reply, i At a little before 11 o'clock, the 1st I Ohio and 2d New York, which were ly* ■ ing,ln the wood on the left, were order- : cd to advance. They did so, passing out of the road and climbing a fence j into a wood opposite, when they were 1 i met by a tremendou* discharge of a four gun battery, planted at the left in : the woods, mainly for the purpose of ' sweepuigjho road perpendicularly and , i the open field ou its right by which I alone troop* could past forward to the ! opposite bonk. They were staggered I for a moment, and received orders to retire. Capt- Aryes' battery (formerly I Shermau's) was advanced a liltl?, so a* to comuund this battery, aud by twenty minutes of rigorous play upon it, silenced it completely. ( j At half-past 1! we heard IDnntcr's | • guns on the opposite height, over a mile 1 | to tbe right. He was answered by bat- ' tcries there, aad then followed the sharp, : rattling volley* of musketry, a* their in- ! ! fantry becamo engaged. The firing was | ; now incessant, lluutcr had come upon ■ ■ theia suddenly, and formed his liuc of

I battle in an open field at the right of#tc 1 * ; road. The enemy drew np to oppose : u him, but he speedily drove them to re- li and followed them up with the : . greatest vigor and rapidity. Meantime, ' 0 some three hours previous, we had t| | sccn*lotig lines of dense dust rising from ! the road# leading fmm Manassas, and 0 with tin glass wc coutd- very distinctly ! , pcrceite that they were raised by the - constant and steady stream ol reinforccmen is, which continued to pour in near- | ly the whole day.* The Sixty-ninth, ;^ Seycnly-nituh. Second aad Kigth New j York ; the First, Second and Third ^ ' Coniicticut. ond the Second Wisconsin, ' S were brought forward in advance ol tbe j ^ wood atsd marched across the field to the ' ^ , right, to go to Col. Hunter's support. ! | They crossed the intervening stream and j ; drew up in a small ojn-n field, separated j from Col. Hunter's column hy o dense ; wood, w hich was filled with batteries and < infantry. Our guns continued to play j ^ upon the woods which thnptbncealed ; ^ the enemy, and aided matcrplly in clear- J ( ing them for tho advance. Going down ^ to the extreme front of the column, 1 could watch tho progress of Col. llun- | ' ter, marked by the constant roar of ar- ' tillcry ami the roll of musketry, as he ' pushed the rebels buck from point to ^ -firoinL * At- (o'clock lie bud driven them • out of tbe woods nnd 'across tbo road j - which was the proluiigntiou of that on ' which we stood. Here, by the side of • " their batteries, the rebels made a stand. ' They planted their Hag directly in the road, ami twice charged across it upon our iiien, but without moving them an I Inch. Tiny we're met by a destructive ; fire, nnd were 'compelled, to fall t- lilt farther buck. Gradually the point of fire passed further away, until tho dense ^ clouds of smoke which marked the pro* i { gross of the combat were at lenft half a v tpilc to the left of what bud been the j ^ central position of the rebels. , It wns now 2} o'clock. I was at the ; j advanced point of the front of onr col- ( umn, sonic hundred rods beyond the ,, woods, in which the few ttoops were , , drawn up, when 1 decided to drive back : £ ! to tbo town. As I passed up the road j ( the bulls and shell from the enemy begun i | to full with more than usual rapidity. 1 did not see the point from which they i . came, but meeting Captaiu Ayrcs, he said. lie wns about to bring up his battc- j ry, supported by the Ohio brigade uu- ] j dcr Gen. Schenck, to repel a ratnorrd j ( : attempt of cavalry to outdank ibis col- 1 , I nmn."- As I went forward he passed , down. Gen. Schenck'* brigade was at 1 once drawn up ngjoss the rood, nnd ! ' Capt. Aryes1 gnns were planted oti-a j ' knoll nt the left, when a powerful body ' of rebels, with a heavy battery, came ' down from tbe direction of Bull'* Run, ' nnd engaged this force with tremendous . f j effect. I went to Centrovillc, sent off , 1 my dispatch, and started with nil speed ' , I to return — intending to go with our troops upon what had been the hotly contested field, never doubling for aiiiomeiit that it would remain in their ; hands. \ 1 hail gone but a quarter of a milo when we met a great number of fugitives, and our carriage soon became entangled in a mass of baggage wagons, the officer in charge - of which lohl me it was useless to go in iliat direction, as our troops were retreat-. j ing. Not crediting tho story, which was! utterly inconsistent with what I had scou a j ! little while oefore, I continued to push on. ! I soon met Quartermaster Stetson, of the I j Fire Zouaves, who told me, banning into i tear#, that bis regiment bad bean utterly 1 . cut tu pieces, that tbe Colonel and Lieu- | tenant-Colonel were both killed, and that I our troop# had pctnally been repulsed. 1; still tried to proceed, bat the advancing ; columns rendered it impossible, and I turn- ; ! rd about, leaving my carriage. I went to ' ' a high point of griuud and saw, by the dense clunds of dust which rose over each | of the three roads by which the litre? eol , iinuis of the army had adranced, that they . | were all on the reti cut.— Sharp discharges 1 of caoni-n in their rear indicated that tliey f were bwiug purseed.
