T'poa hearing of tho battle of ivich ^Fountain. and of the killed and wounded belonging to the 10th Indiana Regiment, among •whom were several citizens of the Star City," left immediately Ibr the bloody ground, lie says, after speaking of the condition of Col. Bryant. Major "Wilson, Capt Chris. Miller, and others, v.-liowere wounded in this engagement, who by the way, arc all rapidly recovering, that the 8th and 10th Indiana Regiments "faithfully discharged every duty assigned them.'' He further says:

Hien. Rosenerans told me that Col. Manson stood high in his estimation, .and he thought would prove a noble

Colonel. "He also made honorable mention of the valuable services of Major W. C. -Wilson. Upon leaving. Col. Manson and Major Wilson visited their wounded and with tears in their eyes expressed regret that they were compelled to leave them behind. '•Since the departure of the 10th regiment I have taken care of all their mail matter, and fehall continue to do to while I remain, and with the exception of the letters for those who I personal^* know, and to whom 1 can deliver on my return, shall send all others to Gov. Morton, so that the soldiers will be able to get them. 1 would re-i-.iuail them did I know to where and had I the "currency" to do so with. ViAll newspapers will be given to the "wounded, and I know inj course in this matter will bo approved of by those for whom they were intended.

On the morning of the battle, at early dawn, the grand army of the United '.States commenced moving in three separate columns—one going to the left and engaging the attention of the I enemy at Manassas unction, while the

led in a north west direction. Here

'this division separated, live regiments under the command of General Tyler going directly forward, while the larger portion, under the command of General McDowell in person, took the north-west road for the purpose of attacking the enemy by a flank movement. This division of the army had perhaps eight miles to move, while ill at under General Tyler had not more than two miles to go, until it came in sight of the enemy.

At about 10 o'clock. A. M. the enemy was plainly visiblo from the advance line of (Jen. Tyler, and an occasional shot from along 32 pound cannon announced to them the presence of the Federal army. The gleaming of the enemy's bayonetts, as they hurriedly marched and countermarched was beautiful and exciting, and an occasional shell thrown from their batteries came within close range of our lines. Carlisle's battery*, belonging to General Tyler's division, opened a severe fire upon a battery planted by* the enemy 011 the left, while two pieces of Sherman's battery were ordered to the point where rested* the Ohio regiments under command of General Sehenck, to dislodge the enemy, who was throwing shell and shot in response to the tire of Captain Carlisle.

to the field and remained there for four hours. Having to pass near to the enemy line in order to get to the field of action, it was feared we would be taken b}* our friends for the rebels, and Gen. Sherman ordered the stars and stripes to be brought forward aud placed in frontofthe column, and with it floating in the breeze wc advanced rapidly forward— Col. Corcoran's Irish regiment leading the head of tho column. Just as we approached within seeing distance of the battlefield, the head of tho column was fired upon by the enemy concealed in a thick growth of small pine trees 011 the left. The regiments at once halted, and after discharging several rounds, routed the rebels, and then proceeded rapidly to the field. As V.TO came upon the field the regiments were received with loud huzzas by our men, and rushed past the hospital formed in line of battle on thefield. Here I lost sight of Gen. Tyler's men in my anxiety to witness an advance upon the enemy that was at this moment being made by a largo body* of our troops, upon the enemy's left. The rebels had been driven before our infantry for half a mile, and the artillery was pouring a rapid fire into the thick grove of t.*ees where they had taken cover. The battle now_ raged furiosi}*, our infantry advancing all over the field in the most perfect order, engaging the enemy simultaneously at several different points, and driving them back on eveiy occasion. There was no single instance where our infantry engaged tho rebels that they did notdrive them back with great loss. Everywhere our soldiers were superior to theirs, but their artillery was equally superior to ours. Our guns were not heavy enough to take their batteries, and it was too hazardous to undertake to silence them with infantry. up to 3 o'clock p. m. the battle had raged most furiously, and everything indicated that w*e had gained a complete victory. Our whole army formed itself in different columns, and Gen. McDowell and staff rode up and down each column receiving tho congratulations of the soldiers for the victory already won. Just at this time, and almost before the General bad passed the whole length of the line, the batteries of tho enemy opened a sharp fire on our front. 11 was ovident that large reinforcements had been sent from Manassas Junction, and that tho rebels had not yet abandoned the contest.— Sherman's battery was ordered to silence somo of the enemy's guns that were doing us great injury. It advanced and cajened a well directed fire and kept it up*for some time, when it came back thundering over tho field, having suffered greatly, and with one of its guns swinging under the axles of its wagon. As the captain passed by wdiere I was standing, I asked him if he was 011 the retreat, and his reply

Coming back* about one mile and a half to the point where Gen. Schenek's brigade was posted and had remained during the entire battle, 1 met several gentlemen from Indiana who were resting at the hospital, where the wounds of several soldiers of Gen. Schenek's regiments wero being dressed. Passing along about one mile from this place, towards Centerville, I was overtaken by Gen. McDowell and staff, going rapidly from the army, and in a few moments the head of the retreating mass of horses, wagons, and straggling soldiers came up. I saw in a moment that the men were panic stricken. The teamsters who were drivingthe wagons stoped, and cutting the saddle horses loose dashed off at full speed, when the other horses were taken by other men and hurried along as fast as they could press by the crowd. No one seemed to know the cause of the panic, and in fact there was no sufficient cause for it. A body of rebel horse, it is true, dashed across the roid. killing several as they passed, but they retired as rapidly as they came. The panic appcard to prevail mostly among the men who drove the army wagons, but as the mass increased tho excitement became more intense, and when it reached Centreville it was altogether beyond the control of any body of men. Rushing by and through Centrevilic,the panic reached Gen. McDowell's camp, and the men there taking tho alarm they emptied the wagons of all the army stores, and pell me!! heltcr skelter, they dashed on to Fairfax Court House.

In tho panic, at this time, the soldiers from the battlefield, except those who were straggling, did not participate.— They, or the most of them, were three miles in the rear, and had not yet quit the field. Between five and six o'clock, however, the different regimen ts began to leave the field in much disorder (this I did not sec, but there is no doubt of thefact,)and the retreat became general and confused, but not in any case followed by the enemy. I left Centreville between six and seven clock for this city. All along the road for four or five miles was covered with all kinds ofarmy stores and army wagons. Here wc meta column of 3000 men advancing from Alexandria, and it was pushing the runaways back at the point of the bayonet. The panic now ceased, and many of the men willingly went back, joined their regiments, and then came on to the fortifications across the Potomac in good order.

The enemy did not pursue our retreating army any, for a gentleman arrived in this'city'last evening, who left Ccntreville at S o'clock yesterday morning, and he says there was not a rebel there, nor had "there been one since the battle. They were, I apprehend, in 110 condition to follow us.

That our army retired in disorder from the field I must confess, but that there was any good reason for it, I take the responsibility of utterly denying. A skillful General would have retired beyond the reach of tho enemy's heavy guns and remained until sufficiently reinforced and strengthened to take them. In this position tho rebel infantry would not have dared to attack us, for AVO had driven them before us on

not be moved. We could have remained in sight of their lines as long as we desired to, and until we had received guns sufficiently powerful to silence theirs. Willi the bayonet and musket we were always their superiors.

To have expected, or to expect in the future to silence the masked batteries, of the enemy, with our ordinary field pieces, is, in my humble opinion, a great mistake, to say the least of it. This mistaken opinion lost to tho Feperal Government tho greatest battle ever fought on the Continent, & will lose us another if the folly is persisted in. I know that it is easy to find fault, and point out errors, after an important event has transpired and failed, but I equally wroll know*, for I witnessed the trial, that Gen. McDowell's force, particularly in artiller}*, was never sufficient to take the enemy fortificat ions. No army of men ever went to a battlefield who fought better, more determinedly and more heroically than did the Federal troops, but they had not enough cannon and none 011 the field of sufficient metal to be effective. It is true there was one 32 pound riflccannon that occasionally throw shells and shot attheeneniy,bu'titwas never within one mile of the battle-ground, and never in position to bear on the battery which was doing us the gratest injury.

Wc were not prepared to march on Manassas Junction—we had neither men nor guns sufficiently ample.— Cannon of tho heaviest metal will be required to take the fortifications there, and no less than one hundred thousand men should be inarched in different division to the attack. I hope the American people will now be patient, and wait until everything is ready, and then Bull Run will be ours, and Manassas Junction taken.

S'iiiceil in Command. WASHINGTON, July 29. The statement that Gen. Banks has been reinforced by double the number of three months men. who have left him, is without foundation. According to an officer who left him yesterday, the whole force is only from lU.fo'OO to 12.000.

It is understood that Gen. McClellan is to be entrusted with almost plenary powers, substantially those of tho com-mander-in-chief. within his division.

The Assistant Secretary of State has gone to New York as a special messenger from the President and Gov. Seward to invite tiie prince Napoleon and the Princess Clothilde to pay a visit to Washington, and while there to make the White House their homo.

Advices received here to-day, from a sourco not proper to mention, state the rebels are not contemplating an advance 011 Washington, but are moving towards Harper's Ferry.

It is believed in military circles that both Gen. Wool and Gen. Harney will be promptly placed in command of columns of the grand army, now being so rapidly assembled here.

It is stated that cartridges found on thefield ofbattleat Bull's Run, had marbles instead of balls and that some of the shells were filled with clay.

Advices received here to-day, from a source not proper to mention, state the rebels are not contemplating an advance on Washington, but arc moving towards .1.1 ar-por's Ferry.

It is believed iii-^iilitary circles that both Woo! and Ilarney v. iil bcrproniptly placcd in command of columns of the grand army now, being so rapidly assembled here.

It is stated that cartridges found on the field of battle at Bull's Run had marbles instead of balls in them, and some of the shells wore filled with clay.

The following officers have been designated as a portion of Maj. Gen. McClellan's staff:

Maj. S. William's. Ass't' Adjutant General Capt. Van Viic-t, Ass't Q. M. General Capt. 31. F. Clark, Ass't Commissary General: Maj. W. F. Barry, Chief of Artillery.

Nothing has been reCeivetl by the "War Department to justify the report that Gen. Banks had evacuated Harper's Ferry.

He has no sue!) orders, but is instructqj&fee position, which is a strong one.

Gen. Johnson with his army, when last heard from, was 011 his way to Winchester.

Whether he intends to move his column towards Harper's Ferry to give battle is not known.

Such was the impression, under the belief that our forces there had been much weakened by the withdrawcl of the three months' men.

The Fcdera!Govcrnment is prepared for this. The Fire Zouaves, since the retreat, have been in a state of almost complete insubordination.

On Saturday the feeling "broke out in open revolt. Acting Brigadier MeCunn ordered out one of his regiments, and by bold

CHICAGO, July 30.

A special to the Tribune, from Cairo, says: Eumors of the approach of the rebels and intended assault are keeping the town and camp in a ferment of excitement—but aro never traced to a reliable source.

Scouts reportlargo bodies of mounted men coming up through Sykesville, the terminus of the Cairo and Fulton railroad, and concentrating near Watkins' camp, 40 miles from hero.

They threaten our position at Bird's Point. Our encampment there is doubly vigilant, and in numbers and war munitions are thoroughly prepared to defend their position.

A special to the Tribune, from Quincy, says: The Second Begimcnt has been withdrawn from the west end of the Hannibal ct St. Joseph E. E.

Cols. Hecker and Eoss' regiments have been withdrawn from.the North Missouri road.

This leaves two regiments of infantry and 0110 company cavalry guarding the road between Hannibal and St Joseph.

The removal of these troops, nodoubt, has close connection with the recent reports from Cairo and Bird's Point.

The UST. Y. Times' dispatch says that both Col. Hunter and Col. Heintzelman, wounded in the late battle, are so rapidly recovering that they will be able I to report for duty 011 Monday next.

Gen. McClellan expresses the opinion that this will be an artillery war, and asks for as many batterys as it is possible to provide. i-A regiment has been sent by (Jen.

This will insure carly notice of any movement of the rebels there, and will put an end to their correspondence with Maryland.

DISTRESSING SUICIDE.--Wm. G. Wharton, Sr., wcli known in the city and county, committed suicide about noon to-day by shooting himself.
