m the Capital to defend it. Many of them complained that only freight and stock care were provided for them, and so great was the objection of numbers that they climbed to the tops of the cars, where, they said, the beat of the sun would not be so intolerable as the fetid atmosphere within. As the train moved off the band played "Home again from a Foreign Snore." Throughout the whole day the trains were passing toward Philadelphia. The Baltimore Sun Effects of the War upon England. Gore's Liverpool Commercial Advertiser, of July 16th, in an article upon the war in this country, says that "even the balance of power in Europe may be disturbed by its controversy." Also "that its influence upon British industry and commerce greatly surpasses that which would be executed by a European war." The Advertiser, in conclusion remarks; "We are reluctant unbelievers in the possibility of any compromise that would reconstruct the Union on its original basis, and we can discover no so

which his interrogator replied, calling him by name: "You're a coward, sir." cannot be Relied upon. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says: There are military men, of European experience in war, who say that those who have been part and parcel of the route from Bull Run, cannot be relied upon hereafter for offensive operations. the schooner Tropic Wind. The London Shipping Gazette of the 8th, grumbles not a little at the recent decision of Judge Dunlop, confiscating the British schr. Tropic Wind, for breach of the blockade.--The editor hopes the Supreme Court, to which the case has been carried, will reverse the decision, because to "press the law of blockade so promptly and severely against the shipping of a friendly power, is a species of sharp practice which is unworthy a great maritime power, and would be quite as well avoided in these times, when all nations within the circuit of civilization are agreed upon the propriety of exempt

Between Sunday morning at three and Monday noon, our brigade accomplished at least fifty miles of marching, including their share of the battle, without rest or sleep. the New York Sixty-ninth. A few days ago we published a telegraphic dispatch from Washington to the effect that Abe Lincoln had visited the 69th in Alexandria, presented them with a complimentary letter, and that they had consented to re-enlist. The following, from the New York Express, of the 25th stamps that dispatch with falsehood: The various Societies are requested to hold themselves in readiness in their regalia at 6 o'clock to-morrow morning to receive the 69th Regiment on their return from the seat of war. For place of rendezvous, see morning papers. the British Regiment. The New York

After the repulse of the Fourteenth a perfect avalanche of glittering steel came pouring out of the woods in the direction of the Manassas railroad, bearing down upon our shattered, wearied columns with triumphant cheers. Then commenced a scene of the most disgraceful confusion, entirely indescribable, and truth compels me to state that the chief officers of our division were the first to ride off the field, and left the different regiments to look out for themselves. Col. Burnside, Gov. Sprague, Col. Martin, of the 71st, and one or two others, were for making a stand against the enemy, but the example of other demoralized scattered regiments threw all into confusion. After retreating a mile or so, Col. Burnside formed the brigade to cover the retreat — not by the orders of General McDowell, I believe, as I do not think he was seen again by any of our force after he left the field. The brigade was soon thrown into confusion again by cavalry and artillery coming from the rear wi

es current in the Northern newspapers is too much for even the New York Times. The Washington correspondent of the paper writes: Much has been said about Col. Einstein's returning to the battle-field at 11 o'clock on the night of the battle, and bringing off a battery. As the story is told, it implies that the rebels were not within reach of the field, and that we were unpursued. I don't know about the latter, but Einstein did no such thing as is told. His brigade was detailed to cover the retreat. The battery of the Eighth Regiment was left at Centreville, at the camp, and in the retreat this was not looked after. When Einstein brought up the reEinstein brought up the rear, with German frugality he picked up the Eighth battery, and brought it into Alexandria. Social life in Washington.

ments, than they have yet confessed to; greater than reported on Monday. Griffin's battery. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says, speaking of Griffin's battery, that in three discharges, or less than two minutes time, he lost forty five men and sixty horses, and, unsupported as he was by infantry, was compelled to retreat, leaving all his guns but one. A Drunken Colonel. The same correspondent writes: Our disaster on Sunday is ascribed to Col. Dixon H. Miles, who commanded the reserve, and failed to come up at the critical moment. The evidence of his drunkenness is over whelming, and his command has been taken away from him. He will probably be court martials. A Lie Exploded. One of the stories current in the Northern newspapers is too much for even the New York Times. The Washington correspondent of the paper writes: Much has been said about Col.

Governor Morgan, of New York, has issued his call for 25,000 more volunteers from that State. It is easier to call than to get them. who is Responsible? The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune thus flings the whole responsibility of the Hessian defeat upon Gen. Scott. Mr. Moses H. Grinnell does Secretary Cameron great injustice when he places upon him the responsibility of refusing regiments of mounted men. We have pretty good reason for knowing that Secretary Cameron has accepted regiments that have been refused by Gen. Scott, who, with his peculiar it ration of manner replied, "I don't want any cavalry, sir; I don't want any cavalry, sir. My plan of campaign doesn't require cavalry, sir." --It is but justice to the President and Cabinet that the country should know t

If that is true, it ill-becomes him, as chairman of the Military Committee of the United States, to censure an inferior officer for doing the same thing. the Rich Mountain "Heroes." A dispatch from Wheeling, July 25th, says: The Tenth Indiana Regiment, Col. Benton. three months volunteers, passed through here to-day, on their way home to be mustered out of service. They were introduced to Gov. Pierpont, who made a telling speech, thanking them in the name of Virginia for their gallant conduct at Rich Mountain.--They were the recipient to of a fine dinner, prepared by the patriotic ladies of Wheeling. the Battles of Manassas. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger (Black Republican) says: As to Gen.
