The division of Gen. Anderson l.ad not.,yet arrived, and the corps of Long street had nut. been fully placed in position. The eiety, probably aware of our tmi. ve tuente selected this opportunity to Mmake an iutaek'tipoh iaekson, hoping thereby to turu t-ur left,: d'estrpy our combinations, and dis c.aricert the plans which had already become apparent:!O. the Federal Comnanders. After heavy cannonading and skirmishing. which c .mt:uenced early in the morning, the em-nay at 4 o'clo.k. P. M. moved in force against J.ackson's. line. TLhe-\asingtonl Artillery of NewOrleanis and 'several other batteries were planatedi uipon a high hill that cotnmanded the exteusive ground over which the enemy weraradvan eing, and ju'st in front of this, perhaps a lit 11-: to the left, the fight began.

The position was ab"ut the centre of the entire army; a:d cer tstiniv it wa, the most confmiintiig ground that eouid have been selected for the pt pose.

The enety had till the strong points, and our ariyance was a+ oftenl up hill as down. I have said that. the troops were all eager, anxietus, and in the till bthief that the battle won:'d commence tstan early hour in the mnornine. The wakint eof a portion of " ur buttu-ries inte life spon aller daylight, and the frequ.-it cannot:uitding thereat:er, the al. -nist icessantt skirmii-hing in front with its ..xcititng voil.-y: of nusketrv, all conspired to prodect this inipres-iein. It is my owl sin' mise, he'wever, based upon certain facts which I c&taiot relate, that it. was not the intention of (fel. Lee or Longstreet to give the enetny battle. on. that day, but ,imply to nacke a feint a' tack, and while thus et'ngaged to allow Gen. Jack-on to slip out, continue his onward movement on the. left and towards the rear of tie F-leral coluitn, and thereby se-cnre a p s:in:n where say in twenty-four hours. the r..ult of a battle would have been the ep'ure and dt'moralization of the entire Fed eral atny. In this, however, our Generals wete disappoineted. After waiting until three o'<lack,- P. M., the enemy himself took the initiative. and marched boldly to tbe attack, :inha their blow, as on the previous day, at thle line of Jackson. It happened to be my fortune to be in the heights occupied by Lee's battalion of artillery, and to wttuess the open iug of the ball. All the morning we had been watching a tuvttent of the enemy to the left, the low black masses immediately in front of us, and the clouls of dust from columns moving in the re::r. itd.eatiti their purpose at a glance. i .:ring this time our. hatteries were pitching their shot and shel!-iflit the Federal ranks. and returnitg the fire of their artillery tn the brow of an op+poi.eLdill'fonetiwes it was lietce, but generally It was a debberate, casu aM interchange of wairlikabcourtesies, aS if each took pleasure in making the other spas modically .uncomfortable. Suddenly there beoed forth from every brazen throat in our .battery a volley that seetmed to sihake the very earth. For a tmo menit every thing was swallowed tip in the tiery grey mantle of battle pbut as the sport ng whirls of smoke drifted away. the cause of the te.utmuh. was at otece.:evealed. A dense colututn :f inf..nry, aeveral thousanzd a:rong. which had b,en na-sedl b'1hind andc near at strip s f wood.s, had moved out to attack Jack sot , a hose men were c:onoealed behind ain ex evazitonl oin the railroad.

As the light progressed Lee moved his batteries to the left, until reaching a position only four hundred yards distant fruitm the cnemy's lines,- he opened again. The spectacle was now tmagti liicent. As shell af ter shell burst ini the wavering ranks, and round sholt ploughed broad gaps amnotig them, you could distinctly see through the rifts of .muoke the Federal soldiers falling and dlying en-every side. With the explosion of every bomb, it seemed as it scores dropped dead or writhed in- agony upon the field. Somte were crawling ott their hands and knees, some were pled tup tagether, and someI were lyiing scat tered around itt every attitude that inagima not: can concetVe.

You now see scores of dead and wounded- I all Confelcrates. for the tire of the enetnay's .saarphoo.tera has been fatal. Reaching the vicinity of the Chinn house, the eye at once embraces the entire vista of b:at tt-at least that portion of it which is goint on in front of' Longstreet. Some of our mel are i~ the wools in the rear, and; s:.me ini thes open field which stretch"s its nuteulating surface far away towards Bull Run. The old hattle ground is plainly dis- I cernaele less than two miles distant, and to the right and left as well as in front, the country is conparative'ly unobstructed -by heavy woods. Just before you, only !re'e or four hundred yards away, are the infantry of' the enemy, and at various points in the rear are their reserve. and batteries. Hetween the aruties, the ground is already covered with the dead and wounded, for a distance length wise of nearly a mile. Our own a'rtillery are likewise upon con. manding positions and you hear the heavy rush of shot, the terrible dumps into the ground, and the crash of trees throngh which they tear with resistless force, on every side. The Federals. according to their owl. state ment, are under command of Gen McDowell on the left, Siegel in the centre, and Kearney on the right. Their troops are the best dis ciplined in the Yankee army, and for a little while most obstinately do they contest every inch of' ground over which we advance. Noth in., however, can withstand the impetuosity of our boys. .very tine of the enemy has been broken and dispersed, but rallies again upon some other position behind. Hood has alrealy advanced his d;vi-ion nearly half a mile at a double quick, the Texans, Georgians ad I ampton Legion loading and tiring as they run, yelling all the while like mradm':en. They have captured one or two batteries ard various stands of c'lera, and are still pushi:g the enemy before them. Evans, at the head of his brigade, is following on the right, as their -upport, and pouring in his effective vlies. Jenkins has come in on the right of the Chinn iou-e. and, like an avalanche, sweeps down upon the legions before him with resistless force. Still further to the t i:ht is Loangstreet's old brigade, en osed of Virginians-veterans of every battie .ld-all of whom are fighting like furies. The First Virginia, which opened the hall at Bull Run on the 17th of July, 1861, with over six hun dred nen, new reduced to less than eighty members, is winning new laurels; but out of the litth- handful more than a third have al ready bit the dust. Toombs and Anderson, with the Georgians, together with Kemper and Jenkins, are sweeping around on the right, flanking tky Federals. and driving them towards their centre and rear. Eschelman, with his company of the Washington Artil lervy ; Major Garnett, with his battalion of Virginia batteries, and others of our big guns, are likewise working around upon the ene may's t-I, and pourng an enfilading tire into both their mufianatry and artillery. It was a task of almost superhuman labor to drive the enemy frot these strong points defended as they were by the best artillery and int'antry in the Federal army, but in less than four hours from the commencemtent of the battle our indomitable energy had ac cmuplished everything. The arrival of R. H. Anderson with is reserves soon after the engagement wan fairly opened, proved a time. which nte bra ught his troaops into position elhowed the cool and skillful General. Our' Gewrals, Leue, Lohgss~rees' -Jackson, Hlood, Kemitper, Evanas, Jones, Jenkins, and others, tall shared the dangers to wvhich they exposed their men. II.,w well th ir Colonels and the subordinate officers performred their dutty is best testified by the list of kil!ed and wound ed. South Carolina alone lost four as noble spirits as ever graced thme earth--Ex Goy. beans, who fell while gallanttly leading his regiment inito action, Cols, Gadberry, Glover, andl Marshall ; while Cols. Moore, Benbow, Edwards, and McGowan received wounds wich. disabled them f'romi further participa tion ini the fight. I have, however, forwarded .seve'td lists ot' casualties, whicht renders it unece'ssary for mec to particularize thema fur ter at this time. The battle ragted in the manner described until after dark.Candl when it was imzposible to tse firearms, tlhe heavenis were lit up~ by the still continued flashes of the artill-ry, anel the meteor flighat of shells scattering tl'eir irn spray. By this time the enemy hail been f'orced across Bull Run, and their dead covered every niere from the sta'rting point of the light to t'he Stone Bridge. TH : FiiEt.D) A FTEa THl E DATTLI.

Leesburg is passing through an era in its ex istence which, predictedionea' year ate, would have been thought the idle dream of a ihap sodist. its peoile are itnessing a gnlious reality. After enduring for months the thral d'om of a ha:ed foe, the yoke has baen re tnoved, and they are tv-.ay once unre in the -ljoyttentof their rights, protected by the arms and brave bearts of Confediarcte troops. Three days aign the staid old burg waa aiwakened from its letharey by dhe sud den a.ppesaaiee of a body of our cavalry, un der Col. Munford. Federal troops and horse nen were ini the town. feeding upon the forced libspitality of the citizens, and enj.,yiog a fancied s.'eurity. Their first intimation of our presence was our appearance. Instantly the whole place was in an uproar. The "home guards," consisting of native irginias-s and renegade Marylanders, rallied in thi: it reets and on the outskirts, and, aided by the Yankee cavalry, attempted to make a stand. Manford, witeu' ado, dashed at once into their ranks, shot and sabred those who did not escape, and the ia-mainder took to tlight. nerss tie Potomac. The dlelight of the people at the arrival of t his nne.xt'e tel succor knew no bounds. They roan into the -treetis, took the cavalry by the hand, kiss. ai ri e horses, threw open their hrouses. fed awd clothed the men, and vented rnthuaiasm in a thousand ways. Since then until the present hour the town has been in the same wild whirl. The ad vance guard of Jackson entered yesterday, and to-day the main body of his army have been marehing through. The street.s are thronged with ladies. The doors wave and curb-stones are like living bouquets of beau ty. Everything that wears crinoline or a pretty ftee is out, and such shouts and wav ing of handkerchiefs and hurrabs by the overjoyed gender, never emanated from liu man lips. Every residence is literally an "open house," where is obeyed the scriptural injection, " Come ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Ta bles are spread, soldiers are called in, the ladies stand aroinid and bring to bear upon the keen appetites whole batteries of bread, batter, honey, milk and meats. No mar who enters there goet; away hungry or with out ati eruption of " God speeds" and "lea:. en bless you's" that ought to supply him fr a life time. " Wha t regiment is that?" "Sixth Geor gi, Ewell's division." " Hurrah for you ! Kill all the Yankees I" screamed a bevy of girls. " Hurrah for the gals ! Coming back to marry the whole town." shout the tnnfed erates. ~ "Got any tobadeo?" another. "Got any shoes? Give us a slice of bacon and bread. Hoop. hi, hi !' and then the whole crowd break out into a series of yells and screeches that only require the addition of an Indian war dance to complete the scene. I never heard such tumult or saw such enthu siasn in my life. It is the only time when, without poetic license, one might say truly that the people were perfectly wild. Flags .waving, drums beating, dust flying, canons rumbling, men marching, trains tugging behind-these are the skeleton frame work of a picture which I leave the reade- to fill up for himself. Long. street is at Drainsville, and passes here to morrow. Maryland is in sight, and in a few hours its soil will be consecrated by our foot steps, if not our blood. September 5.-Maryland! Our army is rossing the Potomac. No enemy in sight. Fron thke Riurmond (lu.) Enquirer, Sept. 11. Reports from Maryland. The city was replete with fresh rumors on yesterday concerning the movements of our army in Maryland. From several parties who have arrived from the lines of the army on both sides of the Potomac, we have been able to gather'the followin5 informnatiou. The prs;, , ," J ,s.. na.me R cbamenccd oni htursay last, and was conducted..t- LI.. columns, one crossing at Edwards' Ferry, about three nmiles fromr-Lesburg, anioth er crossinig att Li'ttle Seneca Falls, aind the third at Point of Rocks, all concentrating af ter the entrance iuto Maryland, at and Dear Frederick City. Since that time other portions of our army have crossed, and on Sunday last, Gen. Lee had renfoved his headquarters from Leesburg to Frederick City. Th'e main body of the ary having pushed op, this step seemed in evitably necessary to btotd an attack upon Leesburg in front or on the flank, and on the rear. Add to this the fact that it was ex tremely difficult as well as dangerous, to keep up supplies fromi any avrilable point south of Leeburg and the mcvemnent appears to have been one of the greatest importance. The report brought dovn by two 'citizens froa Bianmore, that a lemonstration had se maade in that city hi) Southern symapa ze.- und t hat the bridges leading tow~ards Philtdephii h~ad lbeen desroyed, is ;;enerally cr-red.
