Bad State of Affairs.

--The Northern papers publish the following:

‘ Alexandria, July 26.--The conduct of some of the soldiers in Alexandria to-day was very bad. Drunkenness predominated and all the guard-houses, slave pen and jail were nearly full. The Provost Marshal Guard visited three drinking-houses which had been selling liquor after having been notified, and destroyed all the remaining stock on hand--Gen. Runyan has issued an order to arrest, after to-day, all the soldiers found in the streets after 5 o'clock, excepting those having passes.

John Hughes, of Company A, Mozart Regiment, New York, broke away from the guards about dusk, while they were endeavoring to handoff him, and being called to halt, he refused, when he was shot down dead by a member of his own company.
