Pope,
This is a name richly entitled to per- j
jdual in amy, and but for its compara
tive insignificauce, would doubtless he
faithfully recorded as such in the history
of this mighty “rebellion.” llis capaci
ty for lying is unsurpassed in the history
of men. Re lies without judgment,
without forethought, aud in most instan
ces, in the face of well known, self evident
facts, whiok testify to his falsehoods,
even before they are fairly uttered. His
dispatch from Corinth relative to his
brilliant “pursuit” of Qen. Beauregard
and capture of “20,000 prisoners,” even
put that bardened reprobate and disciple
of siu—Bennett of the New York Her
ald —to the blush; and the pious, negro
loving Greeley raised bis hauls in holy
horror at Pope’s mendacity. If Pope
has the aptitude of his master for lying,
he possesses his impudence also; for
scarcely had ho succeeded in getting out
of Jackson’s way at Manassas, by iuau
gunning a second Bull Run, than he tele
graphs the defunct concern at Washing
ton, that hr had achieved a signal and
complete victory, taking 1,000 prisoners.
“Upon what doth Cecsar feed that he has
grown so great.”
Puritanism.
“Puritanism” is a word of terrible
significance both in English and Anglo-
American history. It is not developed
into fanatioism by a long process of in
cubation. It is born fanaticism, fully
matured from the very moment of ilk con
eeptiou. It has shown itself capable of
great achievements, both for good and
evil; but even in its blandishments it
strikes terror into the hearts of those
upon whom it fondles. All uccouuts
agree that it first made its appearance in
England, in the form of a great pestilence
of living men, professing to bo heaven
descended. They wont forth to battle
with shaved heads, but with strong arms
impelled by the wildest phreuzy, and va
riod the monotony of murder by singing
psalms over their victories. The moral
depravity and high handed wickedness
of England in thedays of Cromwell may
have induced the AUwiso Ruler of the
Uuiverte, to visit it with this pestileuoe,
and the result may have been a purifica
tion, but tho medicine was not the less
nauseating to the patient. Puritanism
performed its work there, uud then par
tially disappeared, but leaving seed which
took root and which has not even yet been
eradicated. In the meantime, a sufficient
number for a colony were carried by an
unlucky wind to tho bleak coasts of New
England, where it has sprang up and
yielded seven told. Ii is doubtless a pes
tilence which was sent upon earth for a
wise purpose, but a merciful Providence
surely never designed that its power
should be perpetuated in any one couu
iry. Eternal punishments aro only in
Rioted by our benevolent Father in ano
iker world. „
Tho Puritans, or, us they are known
among us, \ ankoes, are a singular raoe
in many particulars. That they possess
some merits, none will doubt, arul they
may bo conscientious and clover in their
way, but then, hcavousl what a way—
thoir ways always have been aud always
will be different from any other race, and
especially different from those of tho
Southern pcoplo. They cau never be
reconciled to each other. You may as
well talk of roversing the primary laws
of nature.
liigH Praise of our Troops.
Tho Richmond papers have just pub
lished Gen. Magvudev’a report of tho bat
tle of Lee’s Farm, lie gives tlie follow
ing testimony of the valor, patience atul
euduranoe of his army :
1 cannot too highly commend the con
duct of tho oUiocrß aud men of my whoio
command, who cheerfully submitted to
tho greatest hardships nnd privations.
From tho Ith of April to to the 3d of May
this army served almost without relief in the
trenches. Many companies of artillery
were never relieved during this long pe
riod.
lt raiued almost incessantly; the
trenches were tilled with water ; the
weather was exceedingly cold ; no tires
could be allowed ; the artillery and in
fantry of the enemy played upon our
mon almost continuously tiny and night :
the army had neither coffee, sugar nor
hard bread, but subsisted ou flour and
salt meat, and that in reduced qunnti
ties; and yet no murmurs wero heard.
Their gallant comrades of the army of
the Potomao, and the Department of
Norfolk, though not so long a time ex
posed to those sufferings, shared these
hardships and dangers, with equal firm
ness and cheerfulness.
1 have never seen, and I do not believe
that there has existed an army (the com
bined army of the Potomac, Peninsula
and Norfolk,) which has shown itself for
so long a time, so superior to all hard
ships and dangers.
The best drilled regulars the world
has ever seen would have mutinied under
a continuous service in tho trenches for
twenty nine days, exposed every mo
ment to musketry and shell, in water to
the knees, without fire, sugar or coffee
—without stimulant, and with an inade
quate supply of uncooked flour and salt
meat.
I speak of it in honor of these brave
men, whose patriotism made them indif
ferent to suffering, to disease, to danger
and death.
Indeed, the conduct of the officers and
men, was such os to deserve throughout
the highest commendation.
The Columbia (S. C.) Guardian an
nounces the arrival of two more vessels

Late Vaukee New*—The Uattlc* at
Manassas—Tli* Yankee* Break and
Run.
A correspondent of the Herald gives
the fallowing account of the battle of
Tour lay near Manassas :
On Wednesday morning, 27th instant,
i.t about eleven o'clock, General Taylor’s
brigade, of Major Genera! Slocum’s di
vision of the army of the Potomac, con
sisting of the First, Second, Third and
Fourth New Jersey regiments, were or
dered to proceed to Manassas by vail
from their cimp near Fort Ellsworth,
Alexandria. _
The brigade arrived at Bull Run bridge,
about seven o’clock in the morning. The
troops landed and crossed the bridge
with as little delay as possible, and
marched towards Manassas. After as
cending the hill emerging from the valley
of Bull Run, they encountered a line of
the enemy’s skirmishers, which fell back
before them. The brigade marched on
in the direction of Mauassas, not seeing
any of the enemy, until within range of
the circular series of fortifications around
the Junction, when heavy artillery was
opened upon them from all directions.
The enemy was concealed within the
earthworks, and the brigade having no
nrtillory or cavalry—the artillery and
cavalry of the division not having yet
arrived from Newport News—General
Taylor retired beyond the range of the
enemy’s guns to tho rear of a sheltering
crest of ground, where he was attacked
by a brigade of rebel infantry, and a
shari) musketry fire was kept up for
about twenty minutes, when the General,
perceiving a large cavalry force advanc
ing towards hi t left rear, apparently with
I ho intention of cutting off his retreat by
Bull Run bridge, retired by way of
Blackburn’s Ford. Crossing tho ford,
ho was pursued by the rebel horse artil
lery, who fired into him, occasioning con
siderable loss. General Taylor was
wounded very severely in the leg, and it
is thought that amputation will be neces
sary. Ilis son, Lieutenant Taylor, aid
de-camp, was also wounded. Several
other oifioors were killed and wounded.
Among the former was Lieutenant Wil
liam Ii Plume, who was killed by a can
non ball, his head bciug entirely sevored
from bis body.
The brigade retreated in all haste to
wards Fairfax, followed by the Bnemy,
who pursued them beyond Cenlreville.—
Our loss is said to he very great in hilled,
wounded and missing, but our informant is
unable to give an accurate account.
There are a variety of reports as to
the force of the enemy. A surgeon says
that he saw three Brigadiers and ouo
Major General, thus inferring that a
whole division of the enemy were en
gaged; others, that the infantry which
was there wus only dismounted cavalry
of Gen. Stuart’s, about 3,000 strong,
with a couple of horse batteries.
Taylor’s brigade did not number more
than 1,500 meu. There wore but few of
ficers engaged, a groat number having
been capiurcd in previous engagements.
Tho 11th Pennsylvania cavalry are re
ported to have aeled very cowardly on the
appearance of the enemy in Ihe neighbor
hood of Manassas. It is said that they
put spurs to their horses and “skedaddled
nnd that the artillery cut the traces of their
horses and folloiced them.
Tilt; SPOILS —LARGE CAPTURE OF SUPPLIES.
All the Northern ac.ounls admit that
our army captured an immense quantity
of supplies See. Tho correspondent of
the New York Tribune writes:
ihe amount of property fallen into
tho hands of the ijebels at Manassas is
immense—several trains heavily laden
with stores, ten first-class locomotives,
fifty thousand pounds of bacon, one
thousand barrels of beef, two thousand
barrels of pork, several thousand barrels
of flour, and a large quantify of oats and
corn. A bakery which was daily turn
ing out fifteen thousand loaves of bread
was also destroyed. Next to Alexan
dria, Manassas was probably the largest
depot established for the army of Vir
ginia.
Another correspondent writes :
A released chaplain says the enemy has
captured engines and ears in such numbers
that they looked “nearly a mile long”; and
that they have captured clothing enough to
furnish an army.
EFFECT OF TIIE NEWS IN THE NORTH.
The money and slock market—that
infallible barometer of popular feeling
and confidence of tho North—wus much
excited over the news of tho battle, and
notwithstanding the efforts of the papers
to make out a “victory,” price's suddenly
declined. The panio that seized the
market shows that it was well known in
tho North that the government had suf
fered a defeat. The Philadelphia In
quirer says:
There has hardly boon a siuglo day since
the war began when there were so many dis
couraging rumors about the army movement;
“Ihe base of supplies and lines of retreat'’
have again assumed an all-important interest,
and the question whether our army under
Pope lias had these cut off is so difficult to
answer, that men hesitate in their operations,
and in consequence the late buoyancy has
changed into nervousness, and speculative
stocks especially show a tendency to decline.
United States O s, 1881, sold at 101, a deeline
of 1 j ; the 7 30 notes blank, at 104, and the en
dorsed at 103—both about 1 3 lower: Pennsyl
vania .Vs at 90, a decline of }4. The New York
Herald notes the same decline in prices in
that city. Its market report s»ys:
Rumors of the defeat and disaster, yester
day, caused a decline in prices. There was a
general though not an extensive decline—
The decline in the general list was as follows:
Government sixes, one-quarter: Seven-thirty
notes, one-quarter; Tennessoes, one-half, Vir
ginias, one-quarter: the following being the
last quotations: United States sixes, regular,
lssi, one hundred aud one; United States
sixes, coupon, 1881, ou« hundred and one;
United States fives, 1874. ninety ; seven three
ten Treasury notes, one hundred and four;
Tennessee sixes, fifty; Virginia sixes, fifty
six: North Carolina sixes, sixty-six ; Missouri
sixes, forty-seven.
The Panic In tile North—Fears of
our Army Moving Against Wash
ington.
Tho news of the advance of our army
from Manassas, had caused a great panio
in Washington—equally as bad as that
after tlio battle of Manassas. It was
feared our army would cross over tho Po
tomac and move against Washington
The Washington correspondent of thcN.
York writes :
It is stated that tho Potomao river is
now fordable at any point above Wash
ington, and much excitement prevails
throughout Western Maryland, arising
from tho fa ir that a portion of the rebel
army may make a desperate and destruc
tive raid in that quarter.
The enemy has not yet appeared on the
Upper Potomao, although indications
have pointed to such au event, and the
excitement on both sides of tho line con
tinues.
This morning there was a great excite
ment, not only in military circles, but
throughout the city, occasioned by the
information that a large rebel force had
been thrown between the army of Gene
ral Pope and Washington, and was mov
ing against the city. The postmaster at
Fairfax Court House arrived here at an
early hour this morning, haviDg packed
up his goods and mails, and left last eve
ning, iu apprehension of a Confederate
raid upon that point. He saw a bright
light in that direction after be left, and
thinks some buildings had been fired
there.
The Washington Star tries to arrest
the alarm in Washington, by putting out
the following paragraph, which shows,
very clearly, that an attack was appre
hended by our army :
Tho fears for the safety of Washing
ton should be dispelled, as the defences
of the capital are perfect an 1 impregna
ble. We may add, not improperly, that
not only are the fortifier ions around
this city so garrisoned, equipp 1 and pre
pared a3 to enable them sucm .jfully to
withstand any attack that sucu in army
as that of the rebels might m&ke upon
them, but that there is also a large re
served force of disciplined veteran troops
iu such a position with reference to them
as to make the assurance of their secu
rity doubly sure, even without the cer
tain co-operation of the large Union force
lately upon the Rappahannock.
It is evidently the intention of the reb
els to assail us in and about our fortifica
tions ; or clso to attempt to cross over
into Maryland, marching via Leesburg.
Twenty-four hours, at farthest, will sure
ly solve this problem of their present
aims. It matters not what schemes the
rebels have in view, as either must inev
itably fall, met, as it will be, by our two
united great armies, and the troops in
the fortifications immediately surround
ing this city.

Tlie Latest from the Worth.
Colonel Wm. 11. Forney of the tenth
Alabama regiment, wounded and taken
prisoner at the battle of Williamsburg,
and Col. John Bratton, of ill* sixth S.

er iu th* battle of Seven Fines, yester

To Colonel Forney wc are indebted for
Northern papers of the 30th inst. In
the Philadelphia Enquirer, under darn
ing capitals, we find the following die
patch of General l’ope:
Washington, Aug. 29 —The following
dispatch from General Pope lias been re
ceived :
Majussas Junction, Aug 28,10 o’clock, R. M.
—To Major General H. IV. ilallork, General-in-
Chief: As soon as I discovered that a large
force ofthe enemy was turning our right to
wards Mauassas, and that the division I had or
dered to take post there two days belore had
not yet arrived there from Alexandria, I im
mediately broke up my camps at Warrenton
Junction and Warrenton, and marched rapid
ly hack in three columns.
I directed McDowell with his own and Sei
gel’s corps and R*no's division, to march upon
Gainesville by the Warrenton and Alexandria
pike; Keno and one division of Hointzelman
to march on Greenwich, and with Porter’s
corps aud Hooker’s division I marched back
to Manassas Junction.
McDowell was ordered to interpose between
the forces of the enemy, which had passed
down to Manassas through Gainesville, and his
main body which was moving down from
White Plains through Thoroughfare Gap.—
This was completely accomplished, Long
street, who had passed through the Gap, be
ing driven back to the west side. The forces
sent to Greenwich were designed to support
McDowell, in case he met too large a force of
the enemy.
The division of Hooker, marching towards
Manassas, came upon the enemy near Kettle
Run, on the afternosn of the 27th, and after a
sharp action, routed them completely, killing
and wounding 300, and capturing Gi«ir camps
and baggage and many stands of arms.
This morning the command pushed rapidly
to Manassas Junction, which Jackson had
evacuated three hours in advance. Ho re
treated by way of Controville, and took the
turnpike toward Warrenton.
He was met, when six miles west of Centre
ville, bo McDowell and Seigel.
Late this afternoon a sovero fight took plaee
which has been terminated by the darkness.
The enemy was driven back at all points;
and thus the affair rests.
Heintzelman’s eorps will move on him at
daylight from Centroville, and I do not see
how he is to escape without heavy loss.
We have captured a thousand prisoners,
many arms «nd one piece of artillery.

I am here, with five parts of companies,

The men are absolutely so naked, it is in
decent for any person to see them, they can’t
hide their nakedness. If authority can be
had from Capt. Terry, at the Gap, my Quarter
master can have clothing brought to us from
Lexington.
I wish you or Capt. Campbell, would see
Capt. Terry, and have him to authorize Capt.
Brown, at Lexington, to supply us clothing,
which he will haul to us.

quired, to keep the men trom showing their
nakedness.

now. I am, Ac.,

The following pass from the U. S. Pro*

the man reported olsewhere as having

The Provost Marshal at New Market
writes ts day that the Yankees evacuated
Winchester night before last, burning all
their stores and blowing up I lie magazine.
They also burned one whole square in

that late Baltimore papers report th*
death of McClellan. We have Baliimoie
papers of the Ist and 2d inst. They re
port the Federal loss in the battle «f Fri
day to bo net less than 8,000 killed and
wounded. They claim a victory of Sat
urday’s fight. The “American” says the
advantage remained with the rebels.—
The “Sun” styles it an utter route.
Their losses up to Friday night were es
timated at 17,000. Gens. Buford, Hatch,
Taylor and Patrick were killed. Genß.
Sehucek, Tower, Kearney and Seigel
were severely wounded. Col. Fletcher
was killed. Col. Farnsworth was wound
ed. The American has a list of more

The following extract from a letter of
John Forney to his paper, the Philadel
phia Press, shows what he thinks of Jeff'.
Davis’ retaliation order:
I am glad that Davis has so promptly
accepted the challenge of Tope. The
Administration has pledged itself to the
course of tho bold General; the peoplo
will stand by Ihe Administration. His
course is the true one. History justifies
it; the example of the'greatest captains
of Christendom may be quoted as an
illustration and an argument. If we are
in war, let us plunder, burn and destroy,
for war means plunder, burning and
destruction. Pope is in earnost and Da
vis is in earnest; let us see whoso earn
estness possesses the most meaning and
power. Sword point at last crosses
sword point—now for the parry, the
grapple, the death thrust. An eye for
an eye, a tooth for a tooth, limb for limb,
life for life, liberty for liberty—this is
the earnest way to fight it like earnest
men. Then th* drums will beat harshly
and the bugles aouDd shrilly, for the
music is that of battle, and no longer a
dress parade.
Recalling onr “Foreign Minister*.”
The Savannah Republican editorially
urg*s the rrtnll of ourministsrs to France
and England. We wore in favor of that
step long ago—not in the way of pettish
ness but from solid considerations of
what is due onr own dignity and self
respect. Having presented our claims
for admission to the family of nations,
and successfully vindicated them so long
by the arguments of reason and of force,
is it compatible with the dignity of a
great power (which the South may with
out any presumption claim to be) to hag
gle and chaffer for what is plainly our
due ?—to cool our heels outside the door,
knocking with a patient self-abnegation
for admission to the family fireside?
Will it not be every way better for us,
having unsuccessfully tendered our com
pany, te wait hereafter for an invitation ?
