MANASSAS COKMSPONDENCS.
Camp Walker, Manassas, Aug. 11.
&rur 7\t*e* : I havo boon moving about bo
eoiistautlv since my last, that T have not had
an opportunity of writing to you. I might, per
haps, give you a better reason fir my silence,
that is the total absence of auything like news.
This is the locality to whi:h the public uiin<l is
attracted for great movements, but the last place
to find out what they are or aro to be is—Ma
nassas- an impenetrable mystery conceals every
thing. Beauregard knows what Beauregard in
tends to do, and Johnson is apprised of John
son's thoughts, but I doubt very much if the
outside of the brain of either has themo.-t in
definte idea of the internal cogitations of
either of articles of mental mechanism.- -
We have men by the acre and camps by the
quarter section, hut what camps or men, nobody
knows. Your best friend may be encamped with
in six hundred yards, and you may enquire for
the denizens thereof, in a half day’s ride and
not find anybody who can give you the least in
formation. The form divine, in these parts be
comes reduced to a mere piece of mechanism, of
which Beauregard and Johnson hold the. key,
and when the\ set it in motion it moves by ones
i*r one hundreds or thousands iu the precise
sphere to which they may allot them without the
slightest idea of what that sphere is or why it is
to be occupied, in short, the man that comes to
Mana-vaa to find out whnt is going on, discov
ers two things : oue that he can learn nothing,
and the other, that it is very hard to get here,
and perfectly impossible to get away. By dint
of labor and enquiry, I have found out a few of
our friends. I learned, for instance, that Capt.
W N Nelson, formerly of Columbus, but now of
the 2d Virginia regiment, who was shot at the
buttle of Maua.-*aa -the ball passing through liis
left breast.iust above the region of the heart, is
nearly well of his wound and will soon be able,
in another battle to give to his cavalry the bene
fit of hi* gallant presence. I saw Capt John A.
Jones and Capt. Strother, both in lina health,
accustomed to the routine of a soldier’s life and
perfectly ready to try the first field on which
honors may be won and services rendered.—
Sergeant Mims was elected to a 2d Lieutenancy,
which he well deserved for his faithful attentiou
to the arduous duties of Orderly. I saw in
Richmond, Col. Setmne.-’ regiment, it went
through battalion drill in presence of the Presi
dent, who expressed much .satisfaction at the
perfection of their drill, and as a Georgian, 1 was
gratified with their soldierly appearance and
deportment. Georgians, however, find causes of
pride and self-gratulation in overy department of
the public service, whether civil or military, for
Georgians do most certainly occupy a front place
in the great historical picture that is now receiv
ing the hold touches of a revolution’s startling
events. Here, at Manassas, where every State
is represented By its citizen soldiery, a practiced
eye, however impartial, must rest on the Ist regi
ment of Georgia Regulars, and give to them the
praise of being one of the best drilled regiments
in the service, if I were to speak alone from my
own personal observation, which has been ex
tensive, I would say the best drilled.)hut as there
are others which I have not seen, I think I am
safe in saying that there is no better dri.led regt
giment in the service, and when the hour of
tiial comes, if perfect discipline, complete harmo~
ny and a burning de#ireto do ordie for the causo
and Georgian’s honor be sufficient incentive upon 1
what to predicate for this corps a bright page in
the history of the revolution, then can 1 say in
the truth that ail these elements are here, and I
am more than mistaken if upon the first bloody
field, they do not write for themselves a name
which will redound to their own and their coun
try’s honor. I wish Miss Howard could be here
to soe tho beautiful regimental colors escorted to
the front of the regiment, and see with what
pride and love the officers and men regard It.—
She would be more than compensated for the
patriotic impulse that induced her te present it.
ft will never go down to the dust while there is a
man left to bear il to the breezo. God send that
it may ever be tho semblence of victory ns it is
now the ensignia of State right* and a Confeder
ate Republic. Id a word, Georgia may be proud
of the Ist regiment of Georgia Regulars. At
the officers of (he regimen! are entitled to great
credit for ita discipline and soldier like appear
ance, and as they will be responsible for Its con
duet on the field, I have thought that as the offi
cers <>f all the other regiments in the State have
been published, that I would take the trouble to
obtain a correct list of those in Commission in
this regiment. You will find it enclosed. (We
will publiab the list to-morrow—Ed.) The
health of the regiment is exceptionally good, and
T attribute this to the well regulated practice
which is so strictly enforced. The Ist Georgia
Regulars, Col.. Williams; 2d Georgia Volunteers
Col. Semmes; 16th Georgia Volunteer*, Col.
The#. W. Thoma*: and a battalion under Lieut,
Col W 1) Smith, will compose a part of Toombs’
Brigade. (Jones and Strother are in the latter,)
so that when the battle come# off in which
Toombs’ Brigade is engaged, scene* will be en
acted in whioh Columbu.i will have a deep and
abiding interest.

In tho Atlanta Intelligencer, of the 14th we j
find a rich correspondence between the Hon. Ja- |
red I. Whittaker, and his Excellency, Joseph K j
Brown on the subject of nominating Conventions
for Governor and other offices. This correspon -
deuce was, doubtless, a private concoction of the
Governor, to enable him to offer himself a candi
date for the third term of the Gubernatorial of

strate ths /act, that he means to run for the office.

Richmond, August 12, 1801.
There in apparently a lull in active operations
in the army, yet Richmond is full of rumors
about projected Movements. We feel assured
that Beauregard and Johnston are about to do
something startling in Maryland; that Lee is
not idle in Western Virginia, and that Magru
der has frightened the Yankees on the peninsu
la. The spynx-likesilence of the Government
about future military movements is very proper,
and no good Southerner will find fault with the
policy. All we know is that a large quantity of
scaling ladder- have l>een .went down to Magru
derj ‘hit Beauregard has made a heavy
requisition for wagons upon the counties near
Manassas, and that every traiu from Richmond
carries him numbers of these moveabUs, and
that troops aro being constantly sent West to
the White Sulphur and thereabouts, where Lee
is organizing the army of Western
These are floating tacts and we can draw from
them any deductions that may suit our fancies.
The impression is, however, that in the course
of a couple of weeks the country will he convul
sed with another euddeu movement, another
great battle, and probably another great viotorv.
Heavy bodies of troops are concentrating, I will
not state where, and though Washington City
may not be the scene of the conflict, it will Do
less feel the shock and consequences of the con
diet.
Treops continue to arrive from the South by
every train. Kicbmondi and the suburbs is tilled
with fresh regiments. They come silently. Not
even the enterprising little Dirpateh itemizes
their advent. They sojourn a few days aud
then depart as silently os they came, lor some
unmeutionably locality or localities.
About every other regiment arriving here
from the South seems to come from the little
State of Louisiana. 1 believe the I'elieans have
done better in proportion to their population,
than any other Confederate State outside of Vir
ginia. They are generally the handsomest uni
iorrned of our regiments, aud there is a Fretich
ly flavor pervading the whole of them. Two
regiments, lately from New Orleans, are made
up slmostly entirely of Frenchmen. Not mere
ly the Americanized Gaul of thirty years’ stan
ding or descent, but the genuine, unadulterated
article from the banks of the Seine. The Zou
aves are commanded by officers who have served
iu Algeria, the Crimea and Italy, and there are
oven followers of Garibaldi in bis last campaign
in our armies.
The fUU buster os who filled the world with lo
much angry declamation a few year ago, aro
figuring prominently in the Southern armies at
the present time. The tall an martial Henning
sen left to-day for the Wost, to assume the Col
onelcy of the Third Regiment in Wum'* Brigade,
Frank Anderson will bo his Lieutenant Colonel.
Col. Charles Carroll Hicks is Lieutenant in a
company of Col. McLawa’ Georgia Regiment,
now at Yorktown. General Bob Wheat greatly
distinguished himself as commander of a New
Orleans artillery oorps at Manassas. Major
O llara, of Cuban fame, has a commission in the
army. Col. Rudler, I see is raising a company
for the war, in Georgia. An English filllbuster,
one Major Atkins, a tall, big whiskered, loose
trowsered, “haw haw” specimen of a Londoner,
who was with Garibaldi in Sicily, and who is
“just over,” fought gallantly by the side of
Wheat at Manassas.
Lori Lyons’ Sinjialrhm Rrliting to Maosss.*
W e had a telegram a few days ago, through
the Associated Prr .that Lord Lyon -‘dfepatoh
os relating to the battlo of Manassas had been
seized as “contrabiud,’’ aud that he bad deman
ded his passports. The following extract from a
letter received in St. Louis, published iu the Bul
letin of that city, and regarded by that paper as
entirely reliable, is an intelligible explanation of
the telegram
WasirrauTox, Aug. It.
Among tho on Jit#
circulated in this city L one of much importauco
us showing tho wisdom of our Premier in his,
conduct of foreigu negotiation*.
It appears that the day of tho battlo of Ma
nassas w:> that fixed for tho sailing of the Ca
nard steamer. The news at first received was so
much in favor ofthe Federal#, that certain prom
inent Northern men raised SISOO to pay tho ex
pense# of detaining the boat till Monday, and
telegraphed the arrangement to this*city When
the tide of battle turned, ami it became evident
that tho “Forward to Richmond” meant “Back ■
to the Potomac,” an imperative message wn# sent
by the authorities, here to send the steamer off
immediately She sailed therefore without any
new#.
The British Con ul at New York immediately
telegraphed this fact to Lord Lyons, who in
turn dispatched to Halifax to detail the steamer
nt thnipoiut until hi i dispatches should arrive
there.
When he had received correct information re
garding tho battle, he took a dispatch to the tel
graph offico and supposed it would be rent im
mediately. Something occurring to arouse hi#
uspieions, he, accompanied by hi# secretary,
drove to the telegraph office, nud requested that
his dispatches should be repeated from Halifax.
Thin forced the operater to acknowledge that
they had not been forwarded. “By whose order#
are my dispatches suppressed 7 ” quoried the in
diguaut Briton “By those of Secretary Sew
ard,” was tho reply. The British representa
tive drove immediately to-the State Department,
and inquired of the Premier if such orders had
been given. He replied in the affirmative. “My
passport#!” wn# the stern demand of Knglaud
Seward hesitated. A Cabinet consultation was
hold. Tho dispatches were sent, and Lord Lyons
reluctantly withdrew his demaud, but informed
the astonished Cabinet that he should refer the
mutter to his Government.

The following letter has jusi been dispatched
to Gen. Butler by the Secrotary of War
\Vahhinutx, July 8. IB6i.
Genhrai The important question of the pro
per ‘disposition to be made of fugitive# from ser
vice in Htute# in insurrection against tbe Federal
Government, to which you huve anain directed
my attention in your letter of July 30th. has
received my most attentive oonsiderution.
It is the de#ire of tho President that all cx
ixting right# in all the Slate# be fully, respected
and maintained. The war now prosecuted on
the part of the Federal Government is a war for
the Union and for tho preservation of h>! the
constitutional rights of State# and of the citi/.en*
of tbe State* in the Union. Hence no question
can arise as to fugitive# from service, within the
States and Terr.tor.es in which the authority
of the Inion hi fully acknowledged. The ordinary
forms of judicial proceeding, which must be run
posted by military authorities alike, will suffice
for tbe enforcement of legal claim*. But in
States wholly or partially under insurrectionary
control, where tho law# of tho United States
arc so far opposed and resisted that they cannot
be effectually enforced, it is obvions that rights
dependent on tbe execution of those laws must
temporarily fail, and it is equally obvious that
rights dependent on the laws of the Htatc® within
which military operations are conducted, wind
be necessarily subordinate to tho military ex
igoncies created by the insurrection, if not wholly
torfeited by the treasonable conduct of parties
claiming them. To thin general rule, rights to
service# can form no exception.
The a-t of Congress approved August <ith,
1801, declares that if persons held to service
shall be employed in hostility to the United
the right to their services shall be for
leited, and such person# shall be discharged
therefrom, it follow# of necessity tout no
claim can be recognized by the military author
ities o! the Union to the services of such per
sons when fugitives. Auiore difficult quettiou
is presented in respect to person# escaping
from tiie service of loyal masters.
It is quite apparent that the laws ofthe State
under which ouly the services of such fugi
tives can be claimed, must needs be wholly,or
almost wholly, suspended un to remedies by
tbe insurrection and the military measure# ne
cessitated by it; aud it i# equally apparent
that tire substitution ofthe military for judicial
measure#, for the enforcenionl of such claim#,
must be attended by great mcouvenierices, em
barrass luonts ond injuries.
Under these circumstances it seem# quile
elear that the substantial rights of loyal mau
lers will be best protected by receiving such
fugitives, a# well as fugitive* from disloyal
masters, into the service ofthe United Stales,
and employing them under such organization#
and such occupations as circumstances may
suggest or require. Os courses record should
be kept, showing the name uud description of
the fugitives, the name aud the charucler a#
loyal or disloyal of the master, aud such facts a#
may be necessary to a correct understanding
of the circumstances of each case after tran
quility shall have been restored.
Upon the return of peace, Congress will,
doubtless, properly provide lur all tue persons
thus received into the service of the Union, and
lor just compensation to loyal masters. In
this way,only, it would seem, can the duty
and safety of the Government and the just right#
of all be fully reconciled and harmonized. You
will, therefore, consider yourself instructed to
govern your future action in respect to fugi
tive# from service by the principle# heroin sta
ted, and will report from time to tirns, and ut
least twice in each month, your action in the
premise# to this Department.
You will, however, neither authorize nor
permit any interference by the troops under
your command with the servant# of peaceful
citizen# in houseor field, nor will you, in any
way encourage such servants to leave the law
ful service of their master# ; nor will you, ex
eepl-in cases where the public safety may seem
to require it, prevent the voluntary return of
any fugitive to the service from which he may
have escaped.
I am, Generul,
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

Charles .1. Faulkner,'ex-Minister to France,
wu arrested to day, by order of the Govern

so far as the public is conoemed, mere matter* of
speculation, but something ha# been said about
hi# having a commission a# a Brigadier General
iu the Confederate Army.
A formal examination into the case will, how

done an) thing to justify these proceedings, and
but for thorn he would have had his account# *ot

BICIIMIIMI CORRESPOSRIXCB.
Richmond, Aug. J 4.
Congress met at the usual hour, Vice-I*re#i
dent Stephen# in the Chair. The secret *o*.
sione were immediately resumed.
There i# some bustle to day about A ;tiia
Creek. I cannot find out it# character or ex
tent, but have been informed that the Mourn
tug Yankee, coining 100 close upon tho t Jeorge
Page, lying at Aquiii Creek, was yesterday
sunk by that gallant little Southerner. All 1
caii learn to-day ia, that several vessel# of war
have made their appeurauce in the vicinity ot
the creek, and the rumor is they mny have re
newed their hitherto unsuccessful attack# up
on our batteries there with the expectation of
being able to land their troop*. The 2d and
12th Georgia Regiment#, and one or two North
Carolina Regiment# left at S o'clock this morn
ing in the Fredericksburg car#. They had on
ly a few hours notice, and yet they moved and
marched as briskly as if they were ordered to
Washington City. Four companies of Wig
fali’s Texas Battalion also left in the aaine
train, but for u different destination.
The movement* on the left of our lines, es
pecially those directed from Fairfax Court
House, are viewed with a suspicion which be
trays much alarm, by McClellan and Banks;
they are stationing pickets all along the line
from Harper* Ferry to the left ofthe Arlington
fortifications, on the Maryland ride. These re
ceive no notice from our advancing column*,
who command the whole county from Centre
vllle to the Potomac, and within a few miles of
these fortifications.
The most extraordinary efforts are now being
made to guard against any Invasion of Maryland
on the lower Potomac. All tha towns and villa
ges along the river, and back in tbe country from
Upper Malbro to Leonard town, the former 16
mile# from Washington, the latter near the mouth
of the Potomac, are oooupied by Federal troops
and pickets kept up along the whole linos. This
will prove a fearful hardship to the loyal people
in that region of oountry, as tbey*aro all loyal f
and aiooe tha war commenced, have rendered
Invaluable aid in furnishing means of transmit
ting from shore to shore men and munitions of
war. Whatever programme our Guard* have
adopted will neither be interrupted by an attack
on Acquia Creek, was changed by the Potomao
pickets. Os this I have positive assurance
Nearly the whole of Western Maryland is as loy
al at tJouth Carolina, and she mast be be'ped,
that she may be able to help us.
Kly is ia tear# and terror since tbe outrage
perpetrated by Seward in the arrest of Mr. Faulk
ner our late Ministgr to France. Home weg In
Congress here told Ely that it was decided to
hang him in 48 hours if Faulkner was not releas
ed, and sinoe then the cowardly Yankee aboli
’ tionist 1# wholly unmnaed. IU raves, scolds,
and cries alternately. Before being released on
parole, Nelson, the reformed traitor tookthooath
of allegiance and proinisod to issue a circular to
the people of East Tennesse# advising them to
submit to tho deoided majority agftinst them.—
I am not at liberty to say whore the two Georgia
Regiments were sent this morning; but by this
time, they aro the companions in arms of the
Walker Legion or the 2d Tennessee Regiment

Governor Brown's letter.
This l# the richest production of the age. It
i put# all the Governor's messages and State pa-
I per# in tho shaJe. Gov. Brown repudiate# a
I Convention to nominate a candidate for Govern
j or. He says that “under existing circumstan
ce” there i# no necessity for such a Convention,
lie denounces Conventions because they are
gotten up by “cliques of village politicians, wire
worker*, and oflico seekers, moerting together
in small numbers without tho knowledge of the
honest, laboring masses of the people” etc. All
such Conventions are, in the present estimation
of Gov. Brown, corrupt and dangerous instru
ments in the hands of a few, to dictate to the
many, and to destrory the public liberties—and
yot, will it be believed that Gov. Bruwu owes all
his distinction, hi# present elevated office and
hi# comma luting position to just such a Conven
tion, gotteu up in the very manner and orninat
iug from tho very sourco which ho now 30 loud
ly condemn# ? Who and where wa# Joseph E.
Brown in 1M57? He was un obscure circuit
Judge and scarcely known or hoaad of outside
of his judicial circuit, lie wu# nominated by a
convention of that year Governor of Georgia aud
elected. In what respect did that convention
differ from the one now proposed or any other,
in the mode aud mauner of electing or choosing
the delegates to it ? They wure appointed by
primary meeting# in the sevoral counties, gen
erally caliud through the newspapers or in some
other public method. Whoatteuded them? It
may be solely asserted ‘hat on an average not
fifty inou iu each county selected tho delegates
to that fatitou* convention at Milledgeville to
which Gov. Brown owe# all his public position.
Gov, Brown was the nominee of that convention
and accepted the nomination. Where then was
his virtuous indignation against the cliques of
small fry “village politicians, wire workers and
office Beekers” who g t up the convention ? and
the convention in 1859 by which ho was again
nominated. What was there to redeem that from
Gov. Brown'# wholesale and retail charges of
selfishness and corruption now exhibited by him
against nil such bodies? How many men in
each county met to elect the delegates ? notone
in ten of the people or party whoso convention
it was. And yet, Gov. Brown accepted the
nomination of that body and was re-elected to a
second term. He has availed himself of those
corrupt and dangerous instrument* to ride into
power aud give himself a name.
But now, when he apprehend# or fears that a
convention oi the people may not nominate him
a third time, Conventions “stink in his nos
trels,” and he can see nothing in them but cor
ruption and ft th, and all uucleanness. They
aro u “raw head and bloody bones” which will
destroy the liberties of the people. “Obconai#-
tency, thou art indeed a jewel.” Os all* men in
Georgia, Joseph K. Brown is the very last one
who ought to turn his back or spit upon oon
venti ns. But lor those condemned and con
temned assemblage#, He would probably never
have ranked higher than a Circuit Judge, a cir
cuit court lawyer or member of the Legislature.
Gov. Brown labors hard to prove that conven
tion# are objectionablo and ought to be discoun
tenanced because'of tho alledged manner of se
lecting tho do egates. The counties, according
to his version, “are represented by delegates ap
pointed by cliques of village politicians, wire
workers and office seekers, meeting together in
small number# without the knowledge of the
honest, laboring masses of the people, for whom
they assume to act, and in inauy cases appoint
ing such delegate# us will undertake so to cast
the vote of the county as te serve their political)
views.”
There is not a word of truth or sincerity in
this wholesale charge. It is a wilful slander up
on the people hik! rertuiuly an ungrateful denun- |
oiation of those through whose favor be was
brought into notioe. It may he safe to assert that
no meeting bus ever been held to appoint Dele
gate# to niiy Convention in Georgia, that was ■
not culled in a public manner and full notice giv
on to the people. All are invited to attend and i
alt have the Id or y and opportunity to attend j
The 01./tci of lie .meting i# always stated, and
if the majority of tho people of the County are
opposed to the Convention, they can readily at
tend and vote it down, ns wu# attempted at the
late meeting held in Columbus. It* nay he, that
in many instances only a few attend the meeting
and appoint the Delegates. They feel more inter
est in the subject, they h ive warmer xel in the
cause, whilst others from indifference, businesx
nr other motives stay away, willing to acquiesce
in the proceedings. The writer ha# been present
and seen many of these meetings, und iu every
cute they represented truly the public sentiment
of the party or people of the Couuty, aud were
probably a# far from the imputations east by
Gov. B ah any meeting ever held in any county.
Aud certainly now, when there are no parties
and no man in Georgia except dor. /frown is
seeking the office of Governor It would lie strange
if tile people cannot meet in printury assemblies
and act without the controlling intrigues of “vil
luge politician#, wire worker# aud office seeker#/
There never was a greater variety of opinion in
regard to who shall be the next Governor of
Georgia, than exist# at present. More than fifty
name# huve already beeo suggested in tho pub
lie Fre;- e. It is the only time for years that no
political combinations or personal arrangement#
can be brought to bear in County uioetinga in
favor of aspiring leader# or selfish demagogues’
Patriotism aud the public harmony demand that
the public voice should be concentrated and set
tled upon someone of the great number presented
and this can only be done through a Convention.
But the inconsistency of Gov. Brown’s course is
equalled only by his extraordinary egotism.—
More than one half of this long letter of Gov.
B. is taken up in praises of himself apd argu
ments in favor of his own re election ! True tboy
are put in the mouths of others; but who does
not see through the thin veil? It presents the
most striking, I bad almost said, disgusting in
stance of ambition, vanity and egotism which
has ever been exhibited by any publio man, and
notwithstanding all tbegood aets of Gov. Brown,
in my opinion the presumption and arrogance
exhibited In this letter ought to be condemned
aud rebuked by a general repudiation of Gov.
Brown's extraordinary claim to an election for a
third term.

lating to the recognition of the Etuthern Con
lederacy and the iffictency of the blockade.
Tbe Washington correspondent of the Balt.-’
more Exchange writes on tho same subject as
follows:
The Cabinet has been evidently to-day, in a
*tate of most uneasy excitement. It Is privately
rumored that udispateh has been received from
Nova Seo.iu, giving intelligence that England
and France have taken decided grounds upon a
speedy rooogniiion of the Southern Conleder
acy.
A well known gentleman, holding office un
der the Governin'nt, remarked to-day in the
presence *t wy informant: “The statement Is
too true. Our worst four# are now realized, and
wu shall huve the whole world to fight.” This
appears to be rather p euiature, ns the news of
the defeat of Manassas hud nut been received in
England nt the time of the departure of tho
Nova Hcotia. Men who ought to know speak
confidently, however, of its truth.
RgcoqjuTioN or run Southern Confbdeb
aov.—The Blunter*’ Advocate, published in Up
per Marlboro Ugh, Md , quotes from Eufof eao
paper# upon American affair#, says:
Os the Hume character and tone are the re
mark# of the other journal# —indicating, beyond
u doubt, their settled and rational opinion that
t)u> pending contest cun have ouly that solution
which inevitably settles all the uttempts to sub
jugate a free people. These remarkably expli
cit declaration# from the principal English pa
pers—some of them supposed to boos an effi
oiil character—may be regarded as
ion shadowing the speedy recognition of the
Southern government—a rosu t, by the way,
that hu# been steadily prefigured from tho bo
ginning. n ought to be remembered that the
articles to which wo rofer, and from which wo
have quoted a# above, wore alt published before
tbe new# of the recent great battle had reached
England. Wo can well imagine what a thorough
confirmation of the view# of the British press
will bo found in tbe details of that appalling
Federal defeat, whioh wont out on the Wednes
day after the battle ; nor i# it unreasonable to
expect that so thorough and masterly a triumph
will so far evldennec tho ability of tho Confed
erates to hold its own, so perceptibly to hasten Its
inevitable recognition.

Bring in No More Reports.— The N. York
Express, in an article on tho ofiiciul reports of
the battle of Mariassus, remarks :
Tbe moro wo hoar of the conduct of dome of
our officer# and men at Bull Run, the more we
arc inclined to let tho curtain drop on the whole
affair, and cry out with the Thane of Cawder,
“Bring in no inure roporta.” . * * •
With disclosures of this discreditable clmrac
cr crowding upon u#, wo think tho reader will
sympathise with the wish wo havo already ex
pressed, that Bull Kuo should drop as soon as
possible into oblivion. The country has heard
enough of It, “Bring iu no more reports.”
Thk DihANTRR TO THK FEDERAL# IN Mli
bouri.—-The New York Herald uses the follow
ing language in regard to the defeat:
Tho now# from Missouri which we publish this
morning, giving au accouut es the dufeat of Gen.
Lyon’s army, and or the death of tho General
himself, is an additional reaaon for the prompt
exertion of the utmost vigor. If from went of
vigilance or want of energy and skill, the eauee
of the Union would be diinaged almost beyond
the power of recovery. Tho country will not
tolerate a long war. The conflict must be short,
sharp and decisive, nt fail altogether.
