e an enemy whom they but a few hours before affected to despise, after sustaining a loss of only 1,200, would affix a lasting stigma which no subsequent heroism could wipe out. And yet they claim to have fought with unexampled bravery. The "grand army of the Union" is still disorganized, demoralized, paralyzed. Numbers of the volunteers leave by each train for their homes. Those who have money and cannot get away provide themselves with food and keep aloof from headquarters:--General Geo. B. McClellan will arrive, it is expected, to-morrow, and, upon reporting himself to the Department, will immediately be assigned duty. So soon as he takes command, the men will be obliged to report themselves, unless they can previously get away. The Confederate pickets extend a considerable distance this side of Fairfax Court-House. They are doubled and frequently relieved.--Much fear exists in this city of an invasion, particularly among officials. I have noticed, for two or three days

Scott, and it is, perhaps, the only thing that can infuse life and spirit into our now drooping soldiers. If we had had in the field and upon the spot a General like Beauregard, the disaster would not have reached its present fearful proportions. There could have been no rout; no loss of cannon; no throwing away of muskets and knapsacks. He continues: Destitute of artillery and cavalry, it is impossible for
