t pressing exigencies on the Potomac and higher Mississippi, or the Tennessee; so that but about 3,000 of these, neither well armed, well drilled, nor particularly well affected to the cause, remained to dispute the advance of the Yankee invaders. Gen. David E. Twiggs had been rewarded for his stupendous treachery to the Union in Texas, by the command of the Confederate defenses of New Orleans, until stern experience proved him as incalable, superannuated, and inefficient, as even our own Scott. At length, on a plea of declining health, lie was sent home to die; and Gen. Mansfield Lovell, who had abandoned a lucrative office under the Democratic municipality of New York to take service with tlhe Confederates, was appointed his successor. On assuming command, Oct. 18, 1861. Lovell found the defenses of the great slavemart more pretentious than formidable. The variety of water approaches )by Lakes Pontchartrain and Borgne, and the Bayous Barataria and La Fourche, all needed d

Gen. John Pope, having been summoned from the West for the purpose, was selected by the President, after consultation with Gen. Scott, for the command of a force to be designated the Army of Virginia, and to consist of all the troops then covering Washington or holding the lower end of the Shenandoah Valley. This army was to be composed of three corps, under Maj.-Gens. Fremont, Banks, and McDowell respectively; but Gen. Fremont was relieved, at his own request, from serving under one whom he regarded as his junior, and the command of his corps assigned to Gen. Sigel. The entire strength of this newly organized army was

nly-peopled region — his hungry, foot-sore, dusty followers buoyed up with the assurance of plenty and comfort ahead. His cavalry advance, 900 strong, under Col. J. S. Scott, moving Aug. 13. from Kingston, Tenn., passed through Montgomery and Jamestown, Tenn., and Monticello and Somerset, Ky., to London, where it surprised .-Col. Topping and Maj. Conkling, 71st Indiana, had been killed. The rout was now total and complete; and, to make the most of it, Smith had, hours before, sent Scott, with his cavalry, around to our rear, with instructions to prepare for and intercept the expected fugitives. Manson, who had resumed command when Nelson fell, hathrough the fields; every one attempting to save himself as he could. Gen. Manson, with other officers, attempting escape by flight, was fired on by a squadron of Scott's cavalry; his horse, mortally wounded, fell on him, injuring him severely, and he was taken prisoner; as were many if not most of his compatriots in disaster.

Very naturally, the transit of negroes from Slavery to Fortress Monroe was thenceforth almost continuous. Gen. Butler wrote May 27, 1861. forthwith to Lt.-Gen. Scott, soliciting advice and direction. In this letter, he said: Since I wrote my last, the question in regard to slave property is becoming one of very seme in this morning, These fugitive slaves, at this rate, will soon prove more powerful in suffocating this Southern White insurrection than all the armies of Gen. Scott. This man Butler, in this thing, has proved himself the greatest lawyer we have between a prior of epaulets.--N. Y.

ad closed with the Union in mortal strife — a struggle which both could not survive. Hon. Elisha R. Potter, of Rhode Island--who may be fairly styled the hereditary chief of the Democratic party of that State--made a speech on the War to the Senate thereof on the 10th of August, 1861. After distributing the blame of inciting the War between the Northern and the Southern ultras, dilating on the resources of the South, and elucidating the no-fighting, anaconda mode of warfare proposed by Gen. Scott, and apparently acceded to by the Cabinet, he proceeds: I have said that the war may assume another aspect, and be a short and bloody one. And to such a war--an anti-Slavery war--it seems to me we are inevitably drifting. It seems to me hardly in the power of human wisdom to prevent it. We may commence the war without meaning to interfere with Slavery; but let us have one or two battles, and get our blood excited, and we shall not only not restore any more slaves, but shall proclai

with a view of avoiding the possibility of a collision of our own forces, which might occur in a general movement during the fog. Two of Gen. Hooker's divisions are in your rear at the bridges, and will remain there as supports. Copies of instructions to Gens. Sumner and Hooker will be forwarded to you by an Orderly very soon. You will keep your whole command in readiness to move at once as soon as the fog lifts. The watchword, which, if possible, should be given to every company, will be Scott. I have the honor to be, General, very respectfully, your obedient servant, John G. Parke, Chief of Staff. Major-Gen. Franklin, Commanding Grand Division Army of Potomac. whereas, a military order should be as precise and clear as language will allow, and as positive as the circumstances will warrant. it is very certain that a Massena or a Blucher could have found warrant in that order for attacking at once with his entire corps, leaving Hooker's men to defend the bridges and act as a r

. A. gillmore had joined the pursuit with 250 of the 7th Ohio cavalry and taken command: swelling the Union force to about 1,200 men. The Rebels are stated, in the reports on our side, to have been twice that number — a statement which is not confirmed by any returns, and is probably a gross exaggeration, explained by the efforts of the enemy to diffuse an extravagant idea of their numbers. At all events, they were very easily driven from their chosen position; and a charge on our rear by Col. Scott's Rebel cavalry, though it threw our forces into temporary confusion, was repelled with spirit by Wolford: when the Rebels renewed their flight, and were pursued 5 or 6 miles; and now they made another stand, and were not again attacked — night soon falling; under the shelter of which, they moved quietly off; crossing the Cumberland in squads, and making good their escape into Tennessee, with a loss of only about 100 Gillmore first reports their loss at over 300; and again says it will

e in existence — when a great and imminent public peril shall require such suspension — what then? To this question, no conclusive answer had been given, when, at the very outbreak of the Rebellion, the President authorized. April 27, 1861. Gen. Scott to suspend the privilege of habeas corpus, if, at any point on or in the vicinity of the military line which is now or which shall be used between the city of Philadelphia and the city of Washington, you fined resistance which renders it necessary. A similar discretion was soon afterward May 2. accorded to our commander on the Florida coast; the authority conferred on Gen. Scott was soon extended; July 2. it was next made Sept. 24, 1862. general so far as it might affect persons arrested by military authority as guilty of disloyal practices; and — Congress having at length by express act authorized May 3. such suspension — the President proclaimed Sept. 15 a general suspension of the privilege of habeas corpus
