he had been engaged. The Administration at Washington has shown more weakness, vanity and presumption in its refusal to exchange prisoners, than we had supposed it capable of it has planted itself upon an abstraction — could not exchange prisoners because that not would be an acknowledgment of the existence of the Southern Confederacy. This is tomfoolery, and a stickling for dignity and etiquette, that can only render them ridiculous. There is such a thing as a Southern Confederacy, or Southern Party, or Southern Army, or whatever we may choose to call them, with 200,000 troops in the field, and they made themselves felt at Manassas, to such an extent, as to at least entitle them to be regarded as belligerents, and an organization that the Washington Government might afford to exchange prisoners with!" There is some hope for Brownlow. With the aid of time, repentance, reflection, Beauregard, McCulloch and Zollicoffer, he may be licked into decency.--Charleston Courier.

The Southern field officers fell in leading their troops to the charge, and the example inspired their men with great ardor, even when they were inclined to give way. We read that Beauregard and Johnston themselves were in the thickest of the fight at the decisive moment — Beauregard having his horse shot under him; and throughout the day these Generals exposed themselves continually to death, by galloping a long the front of theirBeauregard having his horse shot under him; and throughout the day these Generals exposed themselves continually to death, by galloping a long the front of their lines to observe the development of the battle. Where were our field officers during this period? We are almost ashamed to tell. We know that there are gallant exceptions — such as Sprague, of Rhode Island; but it must be confessed that our field officers, on the whole, reflected but little credit upon the army or upon the loyal States, and the chief part of the fighting was done by brave privates and company officers on their own hook.--N.

n camp to catch a glimpse of his "form and features," but his presence was not regarded as that of an extraordinary personage. Remarks not delicately complimentary were uttered by some of the soldiers who had perused the morning journals containing abstracts from his letter to the Times. The late stampede — what brought it about. Near Fall's Church, Fairfax county, Va., August 23d.--We have just learned the cause of the sudden stampede and consequent instant withdrawal of all of Beauregard's troops from the east of Fairfax Court- House, that took place a few nights ago, as you published It seems that two of his night-scouting parties, both pretty numerous, who were out, one from the force of thousand at Vienna, and the other from the force at Fairfax Court-House, accidentally came into collision in the dark, and both fired away for some minutes with hearty good will, as each took the other for U. S. troops. Both, however, got away as soon as possible, and hurrie

Likenesses of distinguished men. --Messrs. West & Johnston, booksellers, Main street, have received a lot of beautiful photographic likenesses of President Davis and Lady, and Generals Beauregard, Johnston, Lee, Magruder and Huger. The pictures bear the imprint of a New York firm, showing that the Yankees are determined to make money out of our Generals in private, if they cannot beat them in public. They have succeeded in making admirable fac similes of the distinguished parties referred to.

strous for belief. Gen. Johnston, who was represented to be at the head of a large division of the army and actively engaged in throwing up fortifications at Falls Church is quietly remaining at his headquarters, situated within a half mile of Beauregard's, near Manassas Junction; and the assaults upon Arlington and other operations looking to the immediate occupation of Washington have only been executed as yet in the vivid imagination of those who plan battles and conduct campaigns on paper. by large additions of infantry, cavalry and artillery, and is now the largest and most formidable of the army. Its commander is an ex-United States officer, rigid in discipline, a great General, and enjoys the almost unlimited confidence of Gen. Beauregard. Col. James L. Kemper, who is remarkable as well for his business tact as his military and legislative ability, was rendered, a few days ago, the chief position in the Quartermaster's Department, a most lucrative and honorable place, bu
