For the Advertiser. Interesting Particulars from the 96 Rifles. VtE\A, VA., Aug. 2, 1861. Dear Colonl.-I will givo you an account of the movements and operations of my Company during the exciting days from the 17th to the 24th July inclusive. On the 16th, my Company was ordered to com plete an unfinished rifle-pit on the Flint Hill road, which we were to occupy. I was in command of a Regimental working-party on the 15th; so this was double duty for me and some of my men, but we went at it with spirit and finished by night. On the morning of the 17th, the cry of wolf was again heard, and the wolf appcarcd. We loaded our Company wagon and the train moved off towards Centerville (the Captains knowing that we were to retire.) The Regiment then formed. The 96 Riflemen turnedout 100 strong with new uniforms. W. P. BurTa, S. S. To3tPKxNs. Dr. WALCUR SAcEL and J. T. BACON joined us at the Camp. Maj. 11. C. WILLIASs and his son FRANK WLLtMts, of Fairfax C. I1., juinedus in the pit. We double-quicked to the trenches by order. Soon one of Capt. Kemper's guns ap peared at the pit, but there being no embrasuro for it, we grabbled one in short order. In a half ., hour Col. KEiSnAw'8 Regiment filed into our trenches and we out of them. Then commenced the retreat for Bull Run in real earnest. Capt. HODGES' and my Company, with Col. RADr'oRD'S Dragoons, covered the retreat of the 7th Regi ment, by the old Braddock road. We are under a thousand obligations to Col. RADFOInn's con mand, officers and mnen of which gave up their horses to the broken down men-walked them: selves, and carried our k"napaeks and yuns. At last we arrived at Centerville about 12, M. My Company and Capt. lloDGES' were deployed cn the old Braddock road to retard the onward march of the enemy. At 12,30 .A. M. (at night) it 'as discovered that the enemy was about to cut u. ol. Maj. SEIBRLS came up and ordered us to move towards Bull Run anietly, silently-which place we reached at 2& A. M., our Companies yet cover ing the retreat. We fell upon the ground and slept. - At 7 o'clock I was ordered to deploy my Com pany as skirmishers, near the Butler house, on the road, three-quarters of a mile in advance. We occapied a beautiful grove of Chesnut oaks under cover of an old fence. Capt. WALLACE, of KER su.tw's Regiment, was deployed on my right, ]Of yards in advance of me. at the Butler house. We had agreed to support each other. It was he, at this place and time, .that hilled the spy, with $750 in his pocket. At S o'clock, ordered back by Brig. len. RosI.I. I formed my Company. one half of it on the Illuff under coumnand of Lieuts. IIannIsoN and Wauv:n: the other hall was deployed under the bluff to join the left of Capt. SANEn's Company, which was upon the left of the 11th Virginia Regitmont. I did this to arnmplete our line. Thu fight opened at 9, A. 3'., lasting six hours, and reached the right o! Capt. SAsi:n's Company. We expected every :ua e::t to becue engaged : but it never came nearer. Tb h:attie of tl.c 18th closed with an arti!lery fi;ht of an hour's length. during which Capt. Eent:ln.iA of the New Orleans Washiugm ton Artillery was severely wounded. Ile, with another oficer, rode up to my Company under th the bluff and a: ked for a Surgeon. I presented myself, and with the assistune of W. 1'. UItrI::: and S. S. ToxtKixis, raised him from his horse and dre scd his wound u:idhr thu enceuty's fire o. shut and shell. During the dreeing, the Ollieet witl accotpanied the Captain asked for Dr. - Sof the -.ad Palmietto Rtegimtent. eliog inf-rmse~i of his whereabuuts, he was satisfiedl. I sent the wounded Officer ttpon a litter to the Generad 310. pital. At S o'clock we were ordered out ..n ideket. .t~d occupied the hattie fi ; I posted 5entineLls ii the rain, and had a watebful night of it. A Cap tain of an advanced picket cameo to me for ir:. struction, saying that he had ne.ver beien upl'on picket before. In two utintes after he *c:.hi Company fired and double quickedtowardls us. I Lformed Company and ordered my~ ::entinels in theC rortad to halt them, which Dten Tetat didi well. I persuaded them to go back. At 7 on the morning of the 19th, I was order ed to relieve this Company at the Chesautt ::rove; here we ha-l fine sport. I sent to Btutler'. house Sergt. AtisoN and ten meni and they exchtat-gedh several shots with the enemy's piekets. Thtis be ittg rather an exposed poitiion, Col. L~ty ordered meo to call them int, but the tempt'atio~n to kill be ing very great, I slipped up C'.rp. FAtnt andh two men with long range gutns, eneh of whotn g"t: shot. At 12 M[. thueCnemy was reflmrted in a ra vine on our right-I rormned Compatny t.ut thecy failed to appear, and Capt. ]h~t-::: reporting about thtis timte for pitcket dutty, we matrched back to the blut. The other Companies were ali this time working upon their trenchee. We slept th a day. On the 201th went in~ work uipon "tur 1thile-Pit, which we nearly comIdjeted by 10 A. 31. Ott the 21st wo worked all of the morning under fire of shot andl shell. At 12 31, a detail of eightt mten was ordered fromt the t ifilles, as sharp shooters to fire fn>:c balls into the ceonuw of the enemsy's batteries, to bhow themi up. The call was answ':red by Corp. MrIns, Corp'. l ~s J. P. Itotnissoy, JAS. .Samn.v. 3i. U uai.:. Tnos. STcvE:sox, A. SwEA1:1u30is, C. M1. GnAv, Jr., and ninety others ;butt thte Lbove natmes were -first out oif the pit. About 31 o'clock P. 31. we were ordered to advanee antd attack the eneuty in front. We filed out of the pit for fifty yards, when the ordeor was cotuntermia:a'led. What a mis take !The f.. ire of the battte iproved this to ho the momtent to strike themi int front. At 4 1F. s!. the itegiment or Brigade was ordered to ft-rca the centre. We yelled, and stucht a sell ! It of itself wats sufficient to break the centre without bayo nets. We moved forward to within one mile of Centreville, eupituring several prisoners. We haltedl. Getn. lBosnzan apj.rotached me and said he wanted a reliable Comany f'or picket, and de tatiled the ija Ritles fir the ,ervice.

HAtMrrox DESTRoYED BY THE CoNFEst rATES. -The Savannah Republican has the following: GnEAT ]3-rHT,, Aug. 9.-The town of lininp ton was destroyed on Wednesday by the Confode rate forces under Gen. Magruder. Every house, including the old Colonial Church, the oldest on the continent, was burnt. The Federal pickets were driven in by the Virginia Cavalry and In fantry, and five of the enemy killed and one of our men wounded. The torch was applied to Harmpton by the Virginia troops and Iamptoni a'Is. Fac three days Magruder offered battle in front of Newport News, showing himself plainly to the enemy, who refused to come out, though twice our nuiber. Our camp was within tiro miles of the enemy's entrenchmnents and in sight of the ships, where they could have shelled us, but not the slightest demonstration was made. We could not attack their entrenehments to any advantage, for if taken they could not be held in the face of a bombardh:ent from the Federal fleet. If the enemy should come out of his works, he will be whipped off the peninsula. A telegram, as follows, confirms this intelli gence : "Riens:osn, Aug. 12.-It is generally admitted here that the Confederates burned Hampton." This is strange, as the loss of private property must have been disastrous to many citizens. Bat we doubt not the matter admits of satisfactory r:alacat' in. From the Congress. The Charleston Xerery has the following: Ricnstoysr, August 10.-Congress will certainly adjourn on Monday, the 19th inst., to meet again in Novenber. The -pirstion of placing an embargo on'cntton, tobacco. &c.. is said to be now under discussion in Congress. Th: measure is likely to be defeat ed, owlrg to the want of "erre. It is feared thI t Enghlnd, France. nnd Spain might think it im politic in the Confederate States not to allow an arrangenment between the United States and them.-. -elves for obtaining these necessary articles. Therefore Congress will probably not prohibit the sxportation of these articles. The question of l.ying discriminating duties upon irports brought South from Northern ports for the purpose of encouraging direct trade with Europe, will also, probably, be decided negative ly. The Governuent is said to be opposed to both these measures. From Richmond and New Orleans. Rrcusaust, August 10.-A report was current here yesterday that Admiral Dundas had received urliers to bring the hlritish fleet urler his coot a:and into Ch:arleston harbor, regardless of the t'-,e*.le. The report is now thought a hoax-or, ,.iea: t, premuature.
