the chief cause was the prematnre hounding on of

“On to Richmond.’” was the coutiuual cry; and
it w as insisted on by the leading republican 1 kets dull at that
journals here that it must he captured before the
Sitlth of July, in order to prevent the meeting of
the rebel Congress, w ithout taking into account
whether such an achievement could be accom
plished in so brief a space of time. The season
is unfit for the operations of Northern troops in
the South, and it would have been far better to
have postponed the advance till the fall. The
government could afford the delay. They ha 3
ample resources at their command: but every
hour's delay to fighting only tended to disorganize
and demoralize the Southern army. There was
no necessity, therefore, for such evident haste,
and those who urged it are responsible for the re
sult. Bonaparte used to say that Providence was
always ou the side of the heaviest artilh ry, and
we believe that has been the case at Bull’s Run.

It is with the profound,-»t emotions of gratitude to an

our homes and our lit, ities, that we. your Generals
commanding, are enabled, in the name of our whole
country, to thank you for that patriot ie courage, that
heroic gallantry, that devoted during exhibited by you
in the actions ,»i the 18tli and 21»t, by which the hosts
ot the enemy were scattered, and a signal and glorious
victory obtained.
The two affairs of the 18tli and 21st were but the
sustained and continued effort of your patriotism
against the constantly recurring columns of nu enemy,
fully treble your number: and lh< ir efforts were crown
ed onthe evening of the 21st with a victory so com
plete that the invaders are driven disgracefully from
the field, and made to fly in disorderly route back to
their entrenchments, a distance of over thirty miles.
They left upon the field nearly every piece of their
artillery, baggage, stores, Ac,, and almost every one
of the wounded und dead, amounting, together with the
prisoners, to many thousands. And thus the Northern
hosts were driven from Virginia.

The desperate manner in which the drowning j
Lincoln Government has caught at the McClellan

peculiar "from hand to month” expediency char
acteristic which has marked the political course of
the Northern people from the civil revolution of
Infill. I know McClellan well : we crossed iu the

The herd ot civilians that followed the grand

embarrassed by the Congressmen and other indi
viduals, who "wanted to see a battle.” * * *
We hope our fussy Congressmen, who have beeu
so ill-informed and impatient, and so anxious to
smell gunpowder, have had enough of it.
There is an amusing story of Congressman
dined at the same table (at the Great Britain Hotel j Gurley, from the second Ohio district, going the
or cafe) almost daily for three weeks, when other | rounds of the laughter-loving circles of the city,
special invitations did not separate us. I have a j Gurley was one of the “fussy Congressmen” that

Clelian comes of a good cross—Scotch Irish, but j
of the breed I know nothing.
The animal prepondeiates over the intellectual
to such a decree as to destroy his mental intellect.
He has light hair, with a reddish tinge in it. sandy
whiskers and an intensely nervous organization.
I mention these tilings, because they indicate the
tempeiament of the man, which is an important
matter in a commander. McClellan is a rash
man, that is, he has a great deal of “dash” about
him. But I do not believo that he can manage a
large army. He does not possess that peculiar
organization essential to long-continued effort.—
McClellan’s forte consists in his knowledge of
Prussian and Austrian tactics, his through infor-
uation in regard to the military habits of the Ger
man militia and his familiarity with that language.
After leaving Paris. 1 believe he went to the
Crimea na Berlin and Vienna, making German
military affairs his speciality. If he is ever
dangeroustonsatall.it will be after he has had
ample time to organize nu army of Germans from
the West,commanded by German officers.

| Toledo tells that, being anxious to see a “rebel
rout," he hired a buggy at Washington, got a pass
and put (or the battle-field. When he arrived
there ho hitched his horse in a ravine, near an
eminence, where were collected some fifty or sixty
Congressmen, und other civilians. He had not
been in position long before Dr. McMillan, a sur
geon of the Ohio troops came and advised the
spectators to leave, though unable to give any
satisfactory reason for his advice. Very soon,
however, the eyes of the civilians saw a sight that
was not iu the bills, and which inspired them with
a sudden desire for leave taking. They saw, in
tiie distance, men tumbling with great energy the
couteuts of wagons into the road, and whipping
the horses forward with great fury, while others
were cutting the traces, mounting the horses and
putting Washington ward with all the speed they
could command. But, worse than all, they be
held further back an immense body of cavalry,
with drawn sabers, approaching, aud which they
knew were not Federal troops.

Wfio are Responsible the Defeat?
There can be no longer a doubt about the disas-
it from assisting in the. repulse of Gen. Lee. The
result of this strategy is regarded as certain.
| Washington and its archives must fall into the
hands of the insurgents—the President, Congress,
and the officers of Government only saving them
selves, if they escape at ali, by embarkation on a
man-of-war and a (light dowu the Potomac.
Independently of the proofs we have that this
plan has been adopted by tho rebel leaders, there
is au intrinsic probability, a priori, which impels us
to receive it with some degree of credence. The
rebels have proved th»ir superiority in general
ship. in numbers, and have doubtless satisfied
themselves of their superior prowess. Although
so strongly in force, as events have shown them
to have been, it was not they who left their in-
-treuchmsuts and sought a conflict w ith an enemy,
of whose strength and position t ey were entire
ly ignorant. The invaluable prestige of success
is theirs; nnd having inured their men to the bat
tle-field, they may reasonably assume the offensive,
while our forces are still disorganized, and before
reinforcements in any important number cun be
received. Indeed, there has beeu no moment for
several weeks past, when tiie military authorities
at Washington have not been apprehensive of a
movement like this. It was the fear that John
ston's retreat toward Manassas Gap might he a
feint to draw Patterson so far forward from Mar-
tinsourg as to enable the rebels to leave him in
the lurch, by taking tho railroad back to Harper's
Ferry, and marching directly upon the capital
along tho west bank of the Potomac, that caused
the alteration of plans, which moved our troops
laterally to Charleston, rather than directly for
ward to Winchester. Aud should telegrapli com
munication with the Capital he suddenly suspen
ded, we shall bo authorized to indulge the pro-
fouudest fears as to its safety.
In view of this perii, it is hoped no energy will
be spared by Government and people to provide
every possible defence. * * * Pow
erful as we hourly congratulate ourselves upon
being, we are not strong enough,in tho public opin
ion of tho world, to permit the loss ot the Capi

•Shull the profits arising trom our immense trade with
Foreign countries continue to flow into the hands ot
those who are inimical to our peape and welfare, or
shall tiie benefits arising therefrom be retained by
us and transmitted as a neli legacy to our chil
dren !
A mighty an.I systematic effort has been made by
Merchants aud Bankers at the North to transfer to, arid
engross almost the entire profits of Southern trade in
their own hands. Our institutions have beendeeried
to the world in the hope that by this means they might
drive from us the sympathies of other commercial na
tions. and obstruct, if not wholly prevent direct inter-
course between us and them.
With these facts before us, is it not time we should
awaken to the vital importance of instant, wise and
derided action upon thissuhjeet ’
One of the greatest obstacles ill tlie way of the es- ;
tabiisiinieiit of direct trade with foreign countries—j
immediately tipim the opening of the ports of our j
Confederacy—is the fact that our Merchants are com
paratively unknown in foreign markets, and have no
credit established there. Although, the products of
the Southern States have constituted the basis of cred
its and exchange between the late United States aud
those nations for more than a half Centura’: in a
financial and commercial sense, wc are unknown
to each other—our bills of exchange having been
drawn by Northern houses, and the vast amount of
their productions consumed by us—imported through
the same channel—so little have we been known in
these transactions, that years would be required iu the
ordinary course of events, to buildup that trade and
establish that confidence which is absolutely necessary
in commercial transactions, which are founded on a
system of credits.
It is clear, therefore, that some extraordinary meas
ures must be devised, to enable us to free ourselves
from these impediments to oiircmninercial credit aud
independence, nnd prevent our falling hock into the
old channel as soon n« our ports are again opened. It
is, moreover, desirable that our products, other than
onr great staple, should be fully made known to the
world, and the great advantage to foreign nations of n
direct trade with us, and we should all unite our efforts
in the promotion of this great work.
We, therefore, cordially invite tbe Merchants, Bank
ers and others of the Confederate States, to meet us in
Mass Convention, in (lie city of Macon, on the J4tli
day of Octolc-r next, for the purpose of devising some
pliin for establishing a system of credits between the
Confederate States of America nnd foreign countries,
which may he practicable und available to all desiring
to use !t, dud wtik-lt will also command the hearty sup
port of our whole country.
We earnestly invite the assistance and co-operation
of the press of the Confederate States, in bringing the
subject Inlly liefore the people und the presence ot its
members on the occasion named.
We would h!'(>, respectfully suggest to the various
Chambers of Commerce und other Societies within
the Confederacy, organized for similar purposes—the
propriety of appointing Committees nt an early day for
the purpose of a due and deliberate investigation of
this important subject, and proposing some plan to be
submitted to the Convention at its meeting.

Baltimore,July 25, 1861.
It is reported that General Beauregard has gone in
the direction of Harper's Ferry.
A private letter from Gen. Patterson, dated Har
per's Ferry, 22d insL, says: “Gen. Johnston retrea
ted to Winchester, where'behad thrown up extensive
retrenchments and had a large number of heavy guns.
I could have turned his position and attacked him in
the rear, but he had received large re-iuforcements
from Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, a total force
of over 35,0>>U Confederate tioops, 5,CC0 Virginia
militia.
“My force is less than twenty thousand—nineteen
regiments whose term of service was up, or would
be within a week, all refused to stay one lour over
their time bat foar, viz: two Indiana regiments: Frank
Jarrett's (tbe Eleventh Pennsylyania,) and Owen’s
(tl). Twaoty-foarth Peaujrlvania) Vive regiments
: aud prisoners, the loss amounts, probably, to twen
ty thousand, including many of the best officers
together with the whole of the splendid artillery.
In fact, it was a rout rather than an orderly retreat,
and was produced, it appears, by a panic, such as
sometmes unaccountably seizes onthe bravest of
armies. The Roman veterans of old, who con
quered the world, were sometimes subject to it,
and it our raw troops have been seized hy it, it is
ouly what has happened in all other nations; and
these panics have often arisen from a slighter
cause than the running sway of a few teamsters.
It has been a Waterloo defeat. General Patter
son is the Grouchy, who neither came himself nor
prevented the junction with Beauregard of the
force of Johnston, who appears to have played tbe
part of Blucher on the occasion. Bnt tbe defeat
is in a great measure due to other than accidental
causes. The troops were not officered as they
ought to have been. Mere politicians held impor-
tlian so many tailor* or bricklayer*. This eould
