Article Text: Originally submitted by: L. Schmidt The News. It is reported from Washington that Gen.Patterson is to be superceded in command of the army in north-western Virginia, by Gen.Banks, and that Gen. Dix will succeed Gen. Banks in the command at Baltimore. WE hardly think the report has any foundation outside of the reporter's imagination. A steamer arrived at Washington on Saturday, from Fortress Monroe, bring the intelligence that there are no rebel troops at Mathias Point or Aquia Creek. All the troops have been sent on to Manassa Junction to take part in the great battle to be fought there. Mr. Sanderson of New York has undertaken the supervision of the cookery of __ the N.Y. regiments, and declares that he has succeeded in reducing the number of cases of diarhaea among troops from 20 to 2. Another Battle at Bull's Run! Centreville, July 21, via Fairfax C.H. - We have successfully outflanked the enemy. At 2 1/2 o'clock this morning the various regiments about Centreville were paraded for a march, and at 3 o'clock they were in motion in the direction of Perryville, leaving Bull's run to the left. At 6 o'clock the first gun was fired by a 30 pounder rifled cannon sent ahead to bother the masked batteries that might be encountered on the road. There was no reply from the enemy and the advance moved on. Gen McDowell's headquarters are three miles beyond Centreville, the greater part of the army moved towards night to avoid a bridge some distance beyond, said to have been undermined. They will pass over in pontoons prepared by Capt Alexander, of the engineer's corps, and who inspected the country minutely in a previous reconnoisance, and to whom in a __ measure the plan of the campaign is due. A general battle is expected to-day or to-morrow, and which will probably decide the fate of the whole campaign. The 69th New York regiment was assigned the post of honor in advance. Members of this regiment have agreed unanimously to serve, although their time is now out. All the New York regiments will follow their example. For five hours one steady column of troops passed through Centreville. The morale of the soldiers is excellent and all are anxious for a battle and when informed of the purpose to advance, the enthusiasm was beyond all description. - It is supposed that Beauregard's forces are larger than ours. A battle is imminent at any moment. It may not take place till to-morrow night. Telegraphic wires are rapidly following the army and offices were opened this A.M. at Fairfax Court House, with Messrs. Buell and Benton as army operators. Tribune's Dispatch: Washington, July 20. The number killed and wounded at Bull's Run and since died of their wounds is, according to Lieut Tompkins, 59. - Seventeen belonging to the Massachusetts 1st and New York 12th. A Connecticut man who had been impressed into the rebel army, arrived in our camp, estimates the enemy at from 70,000 to 80,000 strong, including Johnson's army of 17,000, who marched in last night. 27 companies of cavalry formed part of the force. He says a very large number of rebels were killed in the action. The first shell from our batteries burst at the feet of Lee and Beauregard and killed a number of officers. It is believed that reinforcements were received from Richmond, or that Johnson's army had arrived. McDowell thinks the latter most probably, which, Scott don't believe Johnson has left the vicinity of Winchester. Since the engagement on Thursday, the United States troops have been busy erecting batteries and mounting long range 32 pounders. Gen Scott in conversation, is represented to have said the United States forces were strong enough. Gentlemen from Bull's run, at 4 o'clock, this P.M., state the total number of deaths there were 16. The body of Lieut Smith was not only pierced by bullets, but by bayonet wounds. The Rebel who was caught stabbing some of our men who fell in battle was hung in sight of the Rebel pickets, and remained there to-day with face as black as a negro. Four New York regiments have been ordered to join Gen Patterson's command. Two of them are Col McCune's and Col Murphy, the whole forming a brigade under Col McCune. Washington, July 21. A most severe battle was fought to-day at Bull's run bridge. The conflict was desperate, lasting over nine hours. Our troops advanced as follows: Col Richardson, who distinguished himself in the previous engagement, proceeded on the left with four regiments. - The 4th brigade to hold the battery on the hill, on Warrenton Road, in the vicinity of the place where the last battle was fought. The flak movements were described in first dispatch. Schenck's and Sherman's brigade of Gen Tyler's division, advanced by Warrenton's Road. Col Hentzleman's and Hunter's divisions took the fork of the Warrenton road to meet between Bull's Run and the junction of Col Key's brigade remained at Centreville. Information was received by General Tyler's command of the existence of the enemy's battery commanding the road. - Our troops were then formed in battle array. The 2d New York and 1st Ohio regiments on the left, and the 2d Ohio and 2d Wisconsin, and 79th, 13th, and 69th N.Y. regiments on the right. Colonel Miles' division following in the rear. The first range gun was fired by Sherman's battery at ten minutes to seven. - The rebels did not return his shot until an hour afterwards. When colonel Hunter's division came up another battle became general. Col. Hunter's movements to gain the rear of the enemy was almost a success. The enemy's position was opened on by several of Carlisle's howitzers, followed by a slight skirmishing. The rebels rapidly received reinforcements from the Junction after the attack was opened. The battle consisted of a succession of fires from masked batteries which opened in every direction. When one was silenced in its place was supplied by two in the daring charge of infantry in unmasking them. The 2d Ohio and 2d New York State militia were marching in flank through the woods by a new made road within a mile of the main road, when they came on a battery with four regiments flanked in rear. Our men were immediately ordered to lie down on the side of the road, in order to allow two pieces of artillery to pass through and attack the work, when this battery opened upon us and killed, on the third round, Lieut Dempsey, of Company G, N.Y., 2d, and Wm. Maxwell, drummer and seriously wounding several others. Our troops were kept for fifteen or twenty minutes under a galling fire. They not being able to exchange shots with the enemy, although within stone's throw of their batteries, they succeeded in retiring in regular order, and with their batteries. The most gallant charge of the day was made by the New York Sixty seventy[sic], Seventy-ninth, and Thirteenth, who rushed upon one battery, firing as they proceeded with perfect eclat, and attacking it with the bayonet's point. Their yell of triumph seemed to carry all before it. They found that the rebels had abandoned the battery, and only taken one gun, but their success was acquired only by a severe loss of life, in which the Sixty-ninth most severely suffered, and it was reported that Lieut Col Nugent was among the first killed. The Zouaves also distinguished themselves by their spirited assaults ion the batteries at this point of the bayonet, but it is feared that their loss is immense. Up to 5 P.M., it was generally understood that we had hemmed in the enemy entirely, and that they were gradually retiring, and that Col Hunter had driven them back in the rear, and that Col Heintzelman's command was successful, and that it required but the reserve from Tyler's division to push on to the Junction. A Mississippi soldier was taken prisoner by Hasbrouck, of the 2d Wisconsin regiment, and he turned out to be Brig Quartermaster Pryor, it is said cousin to Roger A. Pryor. He was captured with his horse as he by accident rode into our lines. He discovered himself by remarking to Hasbrouck, "we are getting badly cut to pieces." "What regiment do you belong to?" asked Hasbrouck. "19th Mississippi," was the answer. "Then you are my prisoner," said Hasbrouck. From the statement of this prisoner it appears that our artillery has created great havoc among the rebels, of whom there are 30,000 to 40,000 in the field under command of Beauregard, while they have a reserve of 75,000 at the Junction. He describes one officer the most prominent in the fight distinguished by his white horse, as Jeff. Davis. He confirmed previous reports of a regiment of negroes in the rebel forces, but says it is difficult to get them in proper disipline in battle array. The position of the enemy extends on three lines in the form of a triangle, the apex pointing to the center of the column. The area seems to have been filled with masked batteries. At 7 this evening guns were still heard firing at short intervals. A still later report not official, but from apparently a reliable source, says the column under Heintzelman has followed the rebels to Manassas Junction, and has opened fire on their entrenched camp - was then shelling it. Cannonading can occasionally be heard at Washington from Georgetown Heights. Headquarters of the army are inaccessible to-night, and the President and Cabinet being privately with Scott and other distinguished Generals. It is stated with confidence in all quarters that col. Cameron of the 79th regiment, brother of the Secretary of War, and Col. Slocum of the 2d Rhode Island regiment were killed. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Article Text: Originally submitted by: L. Schmidt Eighth New-York Artillery We desire to call the attention of those persons who are desirous of enlisting in the army, and who are as yet undecided as to what particular branch of service it is best for them to enter in, to the company now in process of organization in this County by Lieutenants Bailey, Ludden and Robertson, to be attached to the 8th regiment of Artillery, N.Y.Vols., or as it is best known to our readers the "129th Regiment," now stationed in Baltimore. Apart from the arm of service to which this regiment belongs, we know of no company which we can so cordially recommend. Possessing as it does, so many advantages over Infantry or Cavalry, this regiment in particular is amount the "crack" regiments of the army. It is the best regiment in the Department of Maryland. Lieutenant Bailey was connected with the "old 28th," so well and so favorably known to all for its earliest organization. He passed with honor through the entire two years of service, receiving promotion for meritorious conduct. Lieut. Ludden needs no praise at any one's hands. He is too well known to all for that. He, too, served with honor through a two-years' campaign on the Peninsula. Lieut. Robertson entered service as a Sergeant in the 27th N.Y.V., and left it when his regiment was ministered out, as a First Lieutenant, having earned his promotion solely by his individual merit and bravery. Let the young men of Genesee County, if they are desirous of enlisting anywhere, let them enroll their names in the Company which these officers are organizing. By doing so, they will be sure of being under officers who have been under fire, and who have passed through the trying ordeal of a two years' campaign, receiving the encomiums of both their superior officers, and the men who served under them. They offer to men who have served over nine months, a bounty of $852. To others a bounty of $677. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com

Constables. - L H Olcott, P S Davis, M W Heal, Wm Matoon, Lyman Rice, J T Buxton and Carlos A Hull. Appeal Cases. James Craft, Resp., vs Jonathan Phillips App. - Judgment affirmed with cost.

Adgate and Joseph Adgate, Appts. - Judgment affirmed with cost. Harriet Clifford,, Rep., vs Sanford Emery, Appt. - Judgment reversed, with out cost. Criminal Cases. The first criminal case tried was an Indictment against Azel Deming, a farmer of Bethany, we believe, for an indecent assault upon a young woman who was then a hired girl in his family. The Jury brought in a verdict of guilty; and the Court sentenced Deming to pay a fine of $25. The case which occupied the most time, and about which the greatest amount of interest was felt, was the Indictment against the notorious Henry H Norton, for passing counterfeit money. We heard but little of the trial and therefore cannot from any knowledge or information of our own, question the correctness of the verdict of "Not Guilty," which was the result of the Jury's deliberations. We however feel warranted in saying that it literally took every one by surprise. Bar. Spectators and Court seemed alike astonished that the Jury could have hesitated on such evidence as that adduced to pronounce Norton possessed of guilty knowledge in passing the bill in question. Such a verdict must have been refreshing intelligence to the numerous blacklegs, men about town, and "gentlemen of leisure," who swagger and bluster through our streets, and - so far as they dare, - haunt and infest our Hotels and other public places. Norton will be tried at the next Oyer & Tominer, for the rob! bery and intended murder of Mr Stevens, of Corfu. Thomas Johnston, indicted for stealing a horse from the Indians, at Tonawanda, was found Not Guilty. The evidence it is claimed failed to justify the defendant as being the real horse thief. Hiram Gay, indicted for selling liquors to the Indians, plead Guilty and was fined $25. Other liquor indictments were, for cause shown, ordered to be nolle prosequed[sic]. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Hopper, a citizen of this county, and his brother, a resident of Kentucky. It seems the elder brother of the Hoppers died in Kentucky, a few years ago, a bachelor. He had some property, which a younger brother desired to keep, without making any division with his other brothers. The other brothers including A.C. Hooper insisted on a division, and had the property administered upon and sold. This greatly enraged their younger brother, who was a desperate character. This younger brother having threatened to kill or burn up those of his brothers who interfered in the property affairs of his deceased brother. A day or two previous to the 18th A. C. Hopper learned that his younger brother was in ambush, secreting himself in the woods, around about his plantation and was armed as he suspected for the purpose of ssasinating him. A.C. Hopper procured one or two of his neighbors, armed himself, and with one of his sons proceeded to ascertain the whereabouts of his brother, and drive him from his lurking place. The company finally discovered him by the popping of a cap, snugly camped in the woods, with implements of death, one or two horses. Immediatley after popping the cap, he seized his rifle and fired upon A.C. hopper. The Contents taking affect. A.C. Hopper recivering somewhat rom the effects of the shot fired on his brother having a double barrelled shot gun, he discharged the contents of both barrels, which took mortal effect. Both mortally wounded now closed in on each other, A.C. Hopper breaking his gun over the head of the other-cutting with knives, etc. The younger brother expired instantly. A.C. Hopper only lliving a few hours after he was carried to his residence. Thus ended this most tragical and desperate affair. if accounts be true, society lost nothing by the death of the one from Kentucky; but A.C. Hopper was one of our most industrious citizens. He leaves a wife and alrge family to mourn his premature and untimely death. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
