l Scott to General McClellan, July 22, 1 A. M: After fairly beating the enemy and taking three of his batteries, a panic seized McDowell's army and it is in full retreat on the Potomac. A most unaccountable transformation into a mob of a fine appointed and admirable led army. These few extracts are enough to show the utter rout of the Federal army. Twenty-eight pieces of artillery, about 5,000 muskets and nearly 500,000 cartridges, a garrison flag, and ten colors were captured on the field or in the pursuit. Besides these we captured sixty-four artillery horses with the harness, twenty-six wagons, and much camp equipage, clothing and other property abandoned in their flight. Would that we could have ended at Manassas, and the thousands of lives of the heroic men of the South been spared. Adown the coming years did beat, The pulse of hope, life seemed so bright, That little recked we of defeat, Nor dreamed such days should close in night. Athens, Ga., May 24, 1902.

A Massachusetts Major. --Ben. Perley Poors, is a Major in the 2d Massachusetts Regiment. This man published a paper in this place some years ago.

At the time of his departure he was treasurer of the Athens Independent Lyceum, and carried the funds of the Society with him, besides other sums borrowed from our citizens. Mr. Poors has found his level at last — a Major in Lincoln's army.--Athens (Ga.) Banner.
