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.

I McCLELLAM.—The following sketch of the new ■ leader ot Lincoln’s “grand army” will, at tin? ! present juncture, he read with interest: The desperate manner in which the drowning j Lincoln Government has caught at the McClellan stiaw, exhibits, even in their military affairs, that 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 same steamer when he was en route to Europe, with Mordecai and Deb-field, lo visit the Crimea. 1 saw a great deal of McClellan in Paris. We mercial sense of the word, we would imme diately dispatch a tleet which would effec tually open to our commercial navy every harbor of the South. 1 Northern (ongressman In the great Panic. The Cincinnati Enquirer tells the following The herd ot civilians that followed the grand army, and contributed to the confusion and rout, should never have been permitted to cross the river. Wc have no doubt the at my was greatly 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 distinct recollection of the man ; and as compared i was “anxious to smell gunpowder,” and who, if with Davis or Beauregard, ho is nothing. M 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. ] the story is true, and it is abundantly vouched for, had enough of it ” A prominent citizen ol | 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.

From the New York Herald of the 23d. 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 tal to follow closely upon the heels of a disaster •« aIuuuoIuI im tLat of Sntt^BV 1/ist. Richmond Va., August 7th.—Resolution of thanks to Gen. J. E. Johnston. Gen. G. T.

Takixo a Fair Start.—Lincoln’s Congress seem to have no idea of being caught napping.— With the fear of Johnson and Beauregard beiore their eyes, they adjourned precipitately yesterday, and mado a stampede for home, not even taking time to endorse the acts of their President. A letter received here from Baltimore states that the members have been sleeping in that city ever since the battle of Manassas We hope the Marylanders will keep a close look ! •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.

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.
