less heavy guns and more light artillery as I can judge.3 P.M,\u2014The firing has ceased ten minutes since.3.45\tP.M.\u2014The firing has almost entirely ceased and can only be heard with difficulty.I shall telegraph no more unless there should be a renewal of the battle which has been so gloriously fought for ths old stars and stripes, and from all indications here our troops have at least stood their ground.3 50 P.M.\u2014Our courier has not returned.Quartermaster Barton, of the Michigan second regiment, has just passed, and says that the officers, men and citizens at Centreville say a general engagement of the whole line had taken place three and-a half miles this side of Manassas, and that onr troops had driven and forced the rebel line back to Manassas.We expect a courier every moment.Sunderville, 4 P.M.\u2014General McDowell has ordered the vessels now here, under Col.Miles to advanee to the Bridge over Bulls on the Waterloo Road, having driven the enemy before him.Col.Miles is now 3 or 4 miles from here directing operation near Blackburnford.Fairfax Court House, 4.25 P.M.\u2014Two of our Couriers have returned, but were unable to communicate with Gen.McDowell.Gen.McDowell was in the field of battle in person.He says our troops have taken three masked batteries and forced the enemy to fall behind and retire.He says the battle was general on Bull\u2019s Run for some distance.One of the batteries taken was in a wheat field and another some distance from it and the third still further on.ff|5.20 P.M.\u2014Another despatch says that the Federal troops had won the day.The loss on both sides is heavy, but the route of the rebsls is complete.The batteries at Bull\u2019s Run are silenced, and two or three others taken.4.45\tP.M.\u2014The firing had ceased.We shall send another currier in a few moments.The Colonel went out at 4 o\u2019clock and will be back soon.A still later report, not official, but from an apparently reliable source, says that the column under Col Huntzeman had followed the rebels to Manassas Junction, and opened fire upon their entrenched camp, and was then shelling them.The cannonading can occasionaly be heard in Washington from the Georgetown Heights.The headquarters of the army is inaccessible the President and Cabinet being privately with Gen.Scott and staff, and other distinguished gentlemen.The most intense excitement is existing throughout the city of Washington to hear from the field of battle.The many unauthenticated rumours which prevail serve to confuse the truth.AND job PRiNTijyra OF EVERY KlflD DONS AT THSI HERALD JOB iffiSS, June 4.\t133 GEM TEUNK BAILWIY.m imsmmamga.&EDUÜTMMÏ of FâMES to t$üE-daring the stay of tfee «SKIT EASTEIiM.\u201d Return tickets from Montreal to QUEBEC, good by any Train until the 3tst instant, will be issued at the following rates :\u2014 FARE TO QUEBEC AND BACK :] First Class\t$;3e®tS Sesoai Class - $2.0® W.SHANLY, General Manager.July 20.|\t1 173 GALLERY OF PMNT1MS.Ancient and Modern, NOW O P E N at the BONAVENTURE HALL, from 9 to 12 A.M.and from 2 to 6 o'clock P.M.Entrance 25 Cents.July 6.161 m.w m- a - \u2018 ' ¦;
