Scnirn. Hi ' Tho Battlo-Tho Ropulso. Tho details oftlio sinfurtmiato (In Its tcrmliv allots) battle or Hull's Itnn, ns telegraphed nt Fort Kearney, show that the repulse was not so disastrous to tbo Federal army ns nt first re- sorted. Tho defeat might hava licrn more ills heartening, nnd Iho destruction of llfo ten fold greater. Tboy arc, however, altogether too sreat for Iho success or the tircslliro or the Fed crul army. In tho first battlo where thousands wero engaged the (Visits or victory are with the Secessionists, though It seems they were ob tained at n sacrifice or lire. So Tar as tho eleven hours fighting Is Involved, Iho laurels wero with tho Fiilernl regiments. They assaulted a position which tho rebels have ijccn roruiying lor months ; it was iicomei iy military men almost Imnresnnhlo against an niaull, yet a largo number of tho batteries wcro carried, and that too by regiments which hnd never before been under lire. In sddlllon to thu field works and batteries, tho location was nt the Junction or Iho railroad from Iticli inond to Mauassas Gap, and from Alexandria to the same point. This enabled the command lugonlccrof tho rcliels to concentrate within twenty-four hours all tho nvallablo forces he had In Virginia. Tho history or tho liatlle cstublhb: the fact that It was done. From the lime tho Federal troops bcgais to move towards uanassa jiincuou, tno rebel army was rein forced to tho extent or romo thirty to forty thousand men, Including tho column or John ston, who avoided l'attir.ou nud retreated In Slratburg In lime to bo transported lo Manassas jiinciioii miring mo progress ot tno iigni. iuc one hundred nnd fifty cars n ported by n previ ous l'ony to havo been sent tip from Itlchmond. It seems, wero so sent to convey Johnston's command lo tho Junction. It la evident that llcaurogaril was kept advised by traitors at Washington of the movements or Iho Federal army, ami was enabled to malco lil arrange ments accordingly. Tbo result was that Iho l literal troops ununited nil army nearly. If not quite, doublo In numbers, located behind livid works nnd batteries or great strength, and after eleven nours or ilesjienilo ligiiling vtero re pulsed, but not wllh very great slaughter. In n battlo of so Ioiil- duration In front of henvv and well served batteries, the wonder Is that Iho loss of life on the part of tho assaulting troops was noi greater. All accounts agrco In representing tho rebel loss as much heavier than that or tho Federal army. Tho Government troops wcro In tho open field, and wero forced to assail bnttcrle aud Intrcnchmcuts behind which Iho reliel army was posted; tho latter fought under cover ami from lehliid the r butter cs and breastworks. So situated, troops equally bravo ouaiu in repuiso uouuio sueir numuvr. to iks nblo to fight from behind breastworks and lot teries Is also of vast advantage to raw troops untried volunteers. Tho Secession army was so protected ; li was assailed by soldiers who had never been In battle ; who four months beforo wero following the peaceful pursuits ol civil llfo. and notwithstanding their inferiority Iu numbers and exposed position, captured several batteries nnd for eleven hours gained grouud steadily, while they maintained tho uucqual contest. Tho gallantry, dash nnd gen uine bravery wero exhibited by tho Federal troops ; thoy forced tho fighting at all points, and when finally compelled to retire, the enemy was to far exhausted as to bo unable to pursue In force, Dut tho result was a victory lo those who succeeded In defending their Intrenched position, and tho moral effect will operate greutly to tho advantage of Iho Secessionists. Hut Iho nstouudlng, as well ns huinllitatlug part of tho affair was tho panlo which first seized Iho teamsters and civilians In tho rear. Whilst tho tight was progressing In front, they com menced a cowardly and disgraceful retreat. The example and panlo spread ; tho battlo bad been a long and obstinatu ono ; tho regiments Iu tho rear, teeing thoso around them llvinir. iocm ( li'svo concluded that all was lost, ami ono after another, Including tbo reserve, which had not been In action, commcuccd nn unauthorized and disorderly retreat. Tho contugion Boon spread to over half Iho army, and tho retreat iK-cumo complete rout; anil strango to say, they wero llecfng but wero not pursued, except by n small body of cavalry. Tbo enemy did not pursue In forco ; had ho been nblo to do so, tho destruction orMcDoiycll's army would havo been complete. Dut tbo fact lint lm ,11,1 ,,ni shows that ho was either too much exhausted lo advauccor that ho entertained a wholcsomo dread of tho men who bad bravely stood for eleven hours licforo their Iwtterles. Had tho baltlo been fought Iu tho oen field, tho termi nation would unquestionably havo been very different. Tbo effect of this battlo will brlaMnn 11,. hopes or tho Secessionist, but: It wilt not de press nor dlsliarlen-tho Federal forces. Thoy will rally and slrlko again, aud with tha cer- luiuir 01 EUCCCS.4.

An irannlmml ,ir,..,t is an Incident of war ; one, two, thrco, or a hair dozen will neither cripple nor demoullzo Ibo l'odvral Government, but tho Southern Con federacy could not maintain Itseir against two ser ous defeats. The leaders risked their cause at Manassas Junction ; n defrat would havo de stroyed their army, caused tho loss or Itlch mond. and demoralized tbo Confederate Gov ernmeut. Hut matters bad progressed so far that a battlo was neeceuarv lo llirm II, m- knew that ono could not lonir bo avnMi',1 , fi was essential to regain tho prestlgo lost, and, f mvi wmu iiuvuu un mines upon meir strong position, they could tako the responsibility of lighting.
