Later from Central America and the Pacific. --The steamship North Star, Captain Jones, arrived at New York on Saturday, from Aspinwall, with Isthmus dates to the 5th instant, and passengers and mails from California. Among the passengers were Mrs. J. C. Fremont and family. The specie brought amounts to $1,244,000. The advices from California have been anticipated by the Overland Express: There is no news from the South Pacific or Central America, and but little from New Grananda, where it appears Mosquera was still holding his ground against the Government. Three more battles had been fought, but with no decisive result, and a number of superior officers of both parties had died of their wounds or been killed in action. It was suspected that Mosquera was tampering successfully with the Government forces, and had sworn disagreement among the leaders. Another batch of United States naval officers, who were attached to the Pacific squadron, had resigned. The U. S. ship W

e's Brigade could not withstand the fierce tornado of shot and shell sweeping through its ranks, and slowly retired, fighting bravely all the time. The 4th Alabama Regiment suffered terribly, all of its field officers being shot down, and two (Col. Jones and Major Scott) left upon the field. --Col. Jones was captured, but afterwards retaken during the rout. Falling back upon the position taken by Hampton's Legion, whose prowess can clearly be shown by the heaps of dead in front of their line, Col. Jones was captured, but afterwards retaken during the rout. Falling back upon the position taken by Hampton's Legion, whose prowess can clearly be shown by the heaps of dead in front of their line, a momentary check was thrown in the enemy's approach. They had now retreated to the brow of the hill, where the brigade of Gen. Jackson was lying perdu, and this was the most critical point of the day. Fighting for hours under a not sun, without a drop of water near, the conduct of our men could not be excelled; but human endurance has its bounds, and all seemed about to be lost. Our reserves were yet miles distant from the scene of action, whilst the enemy's reserve kept pressing on. From

wo batteries on the right flank of the position occupied by this regiment, supported by a full brigade of the enemy.--Colonel Jones, determined to ascertain the position of their batteries and the force of the enemy, detailed a small reconnoitering were understood generally, would have carried the day with a still greater lustre, if not a more complete victory. Col. Jones was ordered to send four companies up the hill as skirmishers, and to draw the fire of the batteries, while Brigadier GBrigadier General Jones from our right was to flank the enemy on his left. The reserve companies of the 5th, supported by the 17th Virginia, was to attack the enemy on the right. The skirmishers of the North Carolina 5th, headed by the Chaplain, charged up trnest that at no distant day she will carve for herself a name in the military annals of the Southern Confederacy.

ct, they are all good officers, and the best of this, the men are of the right scripe." General Jones' Brigade. A Manassas correspondent furnishes some particulars of the void and dangerous part performed in the Manassas battle by the third brigade, under Gen.Jones, which has heretofore been characterized as "unsuccessful." We copy a portion of the letter: The order, in the execution of which Gen. Jones crossed the Run, was to advance upon the enemy's left with three brigades, viz: Generals Longstreet, Jones, and F. Well. Gen. Jones only crossed the run, and got in reach of theJones, and F. Well. Gen.

but General Beauregard prevailed on me to prolong my visit until the following day, as he was desirous that I should see the "gory field of fight" once more, in company with himself. Accordingly, after breakfast, on the morning of Friday, the General and his staff, accompanied by a large escort of cavalry, prepared to set out for the purpose of inspecting the field and the various troops encamped around. The sight was an imposing one. By-and-by we were joined by Generals Johnston, Evans, Jones, &c.,&c., and as we all rode along, the country people we encountered turned up their eyes in amazement, under the impression, I very believe, that we were all going to enter Washington! At each encampment the troops turned out, cheered, and presented arms, when General Beauregard dashed along the lines in true military style, and, cap in hand, duly bowed his acknowledgments. When we arrived on the field of battle, I met a large party of Federal prisoners under guard, who had, during t

Regiment, and was cut down white at its head, in the desperate struggle made by it with the Northern Vanndale, upon the hotly contested field of Manassas. Col. Jones is an Alabamian by nativity and residence, and a lawyer by profession. For a number of years, although he has yet scarcely reached the meridian of life he has dismounted, and in the face of a terrible fire proceeded with the greatest coolness to examine his legs, in order to discover where he had been stricken. Colonel Jones was severely wounded in both hips, the two balls taking effect about the same moment. For some time his condition was considered extremely critical, but his friends will be gratified to learn that he is slowly recovering, and will, no doubt, soon be out of danger. Colonel Jones is a fine specimen of the physical man. About six feet, four or five inches in height, broad-shouldered, full-chested, and very erect; he looks in every sense of the word the soldier.
