ith great interest. Miscellaneous. A correspondent of a Yankee paper, writing home from the defeat of Manassas, had actually spirit enough left to indulge in a grim and dismal joke at the expense of William Howard Russell, L. L. D., whom he saw scampering from the battle field as fast as his horse would carry him. He said he could account for the name of the place--"'Bull's Run, ' John Bull's! Russell showed good horsemanship." Captain Doubleday was, it seems, in charge of General Scott's favorite pocket pistol, his famous Parrot gun. The gun is taken!--Where (asks the Wilmington Journal) is the invincible Doubleday? Won't he write some more braggadocio letters to his Yankee friends? Ye glorious Capita-ing Doubuelday, Who writes all night and fights all day. In one of the Massachusetts regiments there are or were 336 shoemakers, of whom 87 belonged to one company. This company at the Manassas fight was awfully troubled in its soles, and waxed too feeble towa

it will be a useful lesson for the future. We should hope it might be. The sorrow, the suffering, the misery entailed upon our people by this sad battle has filled our land with grief. Our citizens are shuddering to hear the details. There are few who have not friends among the killed and wounded, but it is remarkable how general is the unanimity among all classes, except the most rabid Republicans, that this slaughter has been occasioned by the reckless Abolition newspapers who drove General Scott, contrary to his earnest protestations, to make a forward movement. But of the past it is no use to speculate.--What of the future? Where are we now? Let us see. The terms of about 80,000 of our troops expire within a very short time. They are the very flower of our army. Their places cannot be filled by any better men, if so good. This defeat must prolong the time of another advance movement until fall. A large force and an immense sum of money are to be raised in the face of

A military Dictator. --Maj. Gen. McClellan, who supersedes Gen. Scott, was the President of a railroad in the West when he was appointed a Maj. General by Lincoln.--He graduated with high distinction at West Point, and was in the army for several years, in which he gained considerable reputation as an officer. After the Mexican war, he resigned his commission in the army and accepted the Presidency of a railroad at a salary of $12,000. It is said that, when he accepted the commission fromthe Presidency of a railroad at a salary of $12,000. It is said that, when he accepted the commission from Lincoln, he stipulated that he was to retain his salary as President, thus evincing characteristic Yankee zeal to look after his wages. If he should not, in turn, like Scott, be superseded and disgraced, we should not be surprised to see him at the head of a military despotism, and to see him superseding the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States.--Nashville Union.

The crops. --In a recent trip through Russell, Scott, Lee and Wise, we took pains to inquire as to the prospect of the crops. Rye, Oats and Wheat are all harvested. The Wheat crop is represented to be one of the finest ever raised. The Rye is equally good, but the dry weather in June cut short the Oats: though generally well filled and heavy, the straw is short. The prospect for Corn is unusually fine. Having heard many conflicting reports from farmers in this county, we are unprepared to venture an opinion as to the general result.--Abingdon Dem.

red to repair to Washington and form a junction with General McDowell about the point of time that Johnston joined Beauregard at Manassas. Washington, August 3.--Letters have been received here from Commodore Eagle, who was ordered to bring home the Hong Kong fleet, (which was under the command of Commodore Stribbling, of South Carolina,) stating that the fleet was not there, but it was supposed it was not far off. Secretary Cameron goes to Pennsylvania to recruit his health. Thomas A. Scott will act in Secretary Cameron's place. The special correspondent to the New York Herald says that it has been observed for some days past that the Confederate engineers have been making observations near the Chair Bridge. General McClellan has visited the neighborhood himself, and is posting himself in regard to their movements. Washington, Aug. 3.--A movement is in operation to deprive the press, either by mail or telegraph, of any intelligence in relation to any matters, exc
