w up his advantages and making good this immense rout, all the advanced camps must have fallen in his power, and the safety of Washington itself would be doubtful.--This has been, moreover, fully appreciated at the seat of Government. All the reinforcements within reach, both in men and guns, were ordered at once to the Virginia shore, to stop the progress of the enemy. These new troops, protested by the entrenchments at Arlington Heights, will alone be able to face the enemy. As regards McDowell's army, it must, for the present, be considered as entirely annihilated. After such a rout, an army cannot be reorganized in one day. It would be superfluous and impossible to attempt a description of the consternation produced by this news — the more dreadful in its effects that it followed without transition the glad tidings of a false victory. With the emotions of the public event, is blended the peculiarly terrible anguish that the soldiers who fell to-day were the citizens of ye

imore Exchange writes (July 31) as follows: Gen. McClellan took official command this morning. In company with Gen. McDowell, he passed through the camps of the troops, and, after a slight inspection, returned to this city to consult with Genbrother officer. The order for retreat from Blackburn's Ford, as communicated by my staff officer, emanated from Gen.

Gen. McDowell just afterwards came on the field, and I appealed earnestly to him to permit me to command my division, and protested

ssage on the Union being older than the States, he had better gather a few facts from some twelve-years old school boy. A more miserable lot of trash than the last Presidential message was never before published. It is a mass of absurd statements — statements which have not the least shadow of truth about them." The Portland (Me.) Argus says: Then the unprovoked burning of the village of Germantown, and other outrages committed by our troops. (though promptly reprimanded by Gen. McDowell,) unveiled a looseness of discipline calculated to ensure defeat, rather than victory. Several correspondents of the New York Herald suggest that the next grand army on its march to Manassas shall fire the woods, and thus smoke out the masked batteries. At an enthusiastic, so said, meeting in New York, a German proposed to have a regiment raised, to be armed with scythes, to mow down the Black Horse Cavalry. Why, we thought the Fire Zouaves killed all them long ago — at least
