Beauregard the right wing, and Gen. Johnston the left wing of our army. The Lincoln army was completely routed. Hampton's Legion suffered considerable loss. Sherman's celebrated Battery of Light Artillery was taken by our troops. The fight was very severe and fatal on both sides. Among the prominent officers who are reported to have been killed are Col. Bartow, of Georgia; Gen. Ber, of South Carolina, Gen. Kiery Smith, and Col. Johnson, of the Hampton Legion.

He had his horse shot from under him while leading Hampton's Legion into action. Gen. Johnston seized the colors of a wavering regiment and rallied them to the charge. It is impossible to estimate the number of the dead and wounded. It is reported that the Federal Commander, Gen. McDowell, was mortally wounded. On our side, Col. and acting General, Brigadier General Francis Bartow, of Georgia, was mortally wounded, and is since reported dead. The battle commenced at 8 o'clock A. M., and closed at 6 P.
