The tacts, then, are these Tlie “open letters

Msfeaeitl of Jeff Thompson.
Me have ana a private letter from General
Thompson, t<>a g*mk man m this < ity, dated
the 2.'4, in which lie stales that every day ol
the previous two weeks hail its adventuris and
history. Alluding to the astir of the 21st he
says: “We had a very pretty little light on
.Monday which will be m tgnified into a battle.
I allowed it to gratify the men and try their
pluck in an open field, andern more than pleas
ed with their performance.”
After the fight tbe infantry encamped at In
,|;an Ford and Bloomfield. Tbe cavalry wire
moved to anew field of labor, under General
! Thompson’s personal command. Os course any
: -txtemunt made as to their designs would be ln
judicious.
and, , , T. considers hi* little campaign one of
complete success, al bough in consequence of
unavoidable accidents, all was not accomplished
that was originally intended. Tbe Hiver Bridge
wbh burned, thus cutting off communication by
rail between two important positions held by the
enemy, Cape Girardcan and Filet Knob. The
cavalry performed a march of 275 miles within
tbe ten days, and the infantry over ISO—dis
tances unprecedented in the history of the move
ments of armies. This energy hows what can
be accomplished by men fighting for privileges
they are determined to secure.
The enemy had become alarmed at the rapid
m vementf of Gen. T’s command, and brought
out 7,000 men to overwhelm him. Referring to
j the fight he says: “We met. them with 1200 men,
j and after fighting them fer two hours retired in,
good order. We ambushed them at every turn
~f the road, cornfield and thicket, and are here
at Greenville, M 0.,) with more men than we
started with, and tbe whole force is in one thou*
sand per cent, better spirits than when tbe
campaign commenced."— M< mphit f Appeal of

a strong position near Leesburg, if you can kuep

Borne days since a communication appeared
iu one of our eotemporariuH, giving what pur
ported to be a synoptfia of General Boauregard’*
official report ol the 21 t July. The writer
stale* tlmt he Ini* boon permitted by (but officer to
read this report, and, as wu may inter from the
fact of it* publication, without any restrictions
to hucrecy. The whole tiling look* very much
like an attempt to occupy the public mind in ud
vaace of the regular publiaati-.n of the document
anil is hardly consistent with tbe underslio"*
rules of military etiquette Me n jr*t mu
such an unesHtrieM it* t.. Li- lej-utution as te
evinced by Gen. Bmur urd in thi* somewhat
ouiiou j mod* . : Np|.eariug before tbe public.—
After strangely <h laying for three months to make
a report of this battle, >n which tbe oouniry wa*
to ‘deeply iut rested, and thereby ddiying the
promotion of so many meritorious oflioerH, who
ooutd otherwise havo be. n appi.inted for gal
lant conduct iu actii n, it is hard t understand
why this General could rod have waited, ut least,
for a brief period, bet.-i. m- liing into print.—
We can readily imagine Unit too very worst
consequences will emue if ilii* cm?® is to f*.rm
a precedent for other e< niiua:, i’ 1 < in their cor
respondence with the department. Every sound
rule of public policy requires that this corres
pondence should bo confidential and published
only when tbo department shall deem It prudent
to do ao.
In this synopsis, which wo belie vo lube a
faithful owe, we find it staled that anterior to
the I .attic, Gun. Beauregard submitted a plan to
th* Goiorument for a junction of thu urtnius of
the Mionandoah and tin Botomae, Slid an ad
vance upon Washington, and that this plan wa*
rejected by the Bierideut. Tbo connection be
tWHunsuchu point and thu incident* of the sec
ond engaguuKut at 11)11 Run, is not very uppar
etat, .414.1 tho introduction of wbat cannot be re
gariied otburwiftu tbaii a t making up hii issuo

completely routed: when his army was demoral
ized when he had not had time to complete his
his v,orkn aroun I Washington, why wuh it ilia*
due advantage was not Bum taken of this state
of things'/ Tbia isu question upon which public
opinion is in arly unanimous in its answer, but
whilst the failure to advance is regretted by al|
as a deplorable oversight, we ure certain that
there is a disposition to believe tlmt. those who
have the control of tbe matter have anted with
the best motives, und perhaps have had sufficient
reasons for an inaction which, with the lights be
fore us, appear* totally inexplicable.

Gradually we are arriving at the truth about
the action near Leesburg on Monday last,
though many fact* are stilt misstated. The of
ficial telegram put Baker'* forces at only 1,736,
when the very same authority shows that the
entire 15th and 2()th Massachusetts regiments,
at least 2,000 men, participated, and that 680
ol the California, together with detachments of
the 13th Massachusetts, and New York Tam
many regiments. Col. Van Allen’s cavalry, and
two I. ittoriu* of artillery were also on tha
ground.
It in itnpoMftiblo to place llih force at less than
•1,000 nx'ji, which must havo buun the number of
I the brigado ot Geucral Evans, which made
the .1 nek. The loss in the California Regiment
iilone whh 227, and thu total must hava been
much greater than 020, as acknowledged ia thu
official reports.
By thu latest advices last night wu learn that
Gen. McClellan had returned to Washington,
and that Gun*. Banks nnd Stone, intimidated
t.y the threatening front presented by the Con-
Kb era tea, had rec roused tho river on Wednesday
night, and wore all day yesterday on the Mary
land ide. It is said that Gen. McClellan would
“end to day very heavy reinforcements to Batik*
