They liavo threatened that if tho Government refuted tln.-ir m.id schemes of rebellion, " t!ic very first drop of blood died1' would bo a signal for mus tering the chivalry, when wo might export to fco tho North ' subdued,' if they hud to rock the firmament, pull down the titan, und tear their shirts off, to do it. As examples of tlio prowess of negro whipping chivalry, they struck down nn iiiiariiii'd United Stulcs Senator with n bludgeon o:i the floor of the fviinlo cham ber, and beat him till life was nearly ex tinct, for saying that freedom was prefera ble lo slavery; they surrounded tho house iu which ltrown of Kauris hud taken ref uge, nineteen of them, all armtd, and of ter enticing him out by pledging their Ann or that bo aluiuM have a fair trial, fell upon him with hatchets mid knives and cut him to pieces then rolled and kicked his mnnglcd body soino twenty rods to a wagon, pitched it in, and hauling him to the door of his own house, threw him bleed ing and dying into tho middle of tho floor occupied by his wife and children. They murdered tlio sou of old Ossawolainie I'rotvii by loading him with chains and marching him burc-hcadcd and hare-foot for twenty miles over a dusty rond, under n scorching rain. They took six unarmed men prisoners iu the southern part of Kan sas, mid ufter marching them eloso to the Missouri hue, halted and thot Hum down iu their trucks. They surrounded tho pulpit of l.inhop Janes in Texu, with bowie knives and pistols in their belts, nnd drove him out of the State hceuu.-u ho was a Northern Methodist. They pursued the Kev. Mr. l.owly, a until e TVnncMiccaii, with blood hounds into Mii-sntiri, strapped him on n horse, nnd carried him back into the forests of Aikansas, where thev hung him to n tree for expressing tho con viction that slavery was not n divine insti tution. They stripped the Ilcv. Mr. Sut ler nuked, covered him with tar and feath ers, nnd then sent him down tho Missouri river on a raft, for saying ho intended to vote or u freo constitution for Kansas. They tied no old Mr. Potncroy, a demo cratic preacher In Texas, and whipped him on the bare back till tlio blood rati down into his shoes, for preaching that masters ought lo treat their servants l.ko human beings Instead of cattle. They hung n Kenliickian by the heels till h0 was dead, in Arkansas!, for expressing nn uttaehnieiit for the Stars and Stripes. They have shot down, hung up, nnd cut to pieces with the i.i.sh and knife, besides burning ut the sluke, enough poor defensch n slaves, and such northern democrats with amalgamation an tecedents as poor Curry and SI iter, to inaho a bloody pool deep enough to flout n frigate. These acta have been matters of newspaper notoriety for tho last twenty years, keeping up in certain quurters an exalted idea of the bravery of the cliivulrv, while tho lanibl.ku patience of Northern men in submitting to be nited by them, added totho oft-repeated statements of such vagabond sheets as the Portland Ad vertiser that oir tym'ialMa are with the J! )ut!i," have very naturally impressed them w ith the conviction expressed by Senator lirowii of Miss'sdppi that Northern men are " M'uJwr, Ivtrtiuug, and cotrvrd For uionr vtari we have men that it wai tho ruri.oe of the firewater to sub jugate tho Fr.e States, or overthrow the Government. Tho Intention! of the Have power first began to bo apparent to any rotulderablo number of tb American peo ple when it tore down the Miwourl Com promise, and Iho withered hag Invaded Kan'ai with (Ire and iword, acourgee nnd bludgeons, and Inaugurated In-r reign over the ruins of the thctlvo franchise. The history of the Government aim 1854 down to lhochiso of lliichannn'a reign, has been a dark and despairing one; and, wero it not for a few waymaik along the road, we ahould have agreed with the fire-eaters, that cmirago had entirely forsaken tho North. That Northern mm, when ciifl.d, khked, ou l snubbed, up to the fighting iwilut. were more than a malrh or tne chivalry, was ihown hi a few luch instance as lit backing down of bully IJrooki by nurliugnmc, tho cowardly retreat or Vtjt b furo tho bowic knlfo of Potter, tho back down of Atchison when Jim Lmo offered to uiett him with a hundred picked mm on a aide and retllo tho Kamas d mcuMui in an hour-after this, the cowardly flighl of twenty five border rulDans, who ran I ke ao many rotlon ihecp, before fifteen Free Statu bono fido ictlh rs of Kniisa nnd last, thouirh bv no means least, the tak'ntj nf Virginia by Old liiown vith $frtnltrn whim and firt nipg'ri, Sinco Iho rebeU liavo inaugurated the present civil war they have had abundant opportunities to redeem their character for braverv. but how liavo they improved them? Tho shooting of Klhworlh In the back bv Jackson. niUit have augured a chlvnlrom future for tho r.-ltel, if ho had been ouick enouijh to dodge tho bayonet of tho Northman who pinned him to the earth. The Government troops hare now hail about n dor.cn different tkirmishes iu Virginia, besides being fired upon by ping ugly assassins under rover in J.dlimore. In every hand to hand conflict our troops seem to bo much more thnn a match for the rebels. Indeed, the chlvulry. so far, in stead of coming any where near up to thoir own cstunnto or their figlilmg qualities, seem to us lo fight littlo better than Iho Mexican. Our troops have been victori ous in every conflict in tho open field, and Iho enemy seem in u fair wny to deserve to bo nil mustered into Gen. Brnggadoc.os flying cavulry. They must do better down in Virginia thnn they hare done, or F. F. V., instead of standing for " First Families of Virginia." will pet to mean tho " Fast Flying Virginians." Taking down nnd whipping to death a poor defenseless slave woman, or a cringing Northern amalgama tion democrat l.ko Slater, may bo a very pleasant pastimo for the soft-handed, whUkv-bloated chivalry. hut when it comes to bin king against Nortlicrn labor -rs rallied under the Stars nnd Str'pes, with "God axii Liuiurv' for a motto, lluy will find it hard to " kick against th - l.Wtry at llravcu nn lUe Dull. If you want to hear sermons on honesty, go lo a thief disquisitions on chastity, listen to a harlot if you wish to purchase a homily on honor, you will ulwnys find it iu tho pocket of a pirate, or if you wish to read any amount of whiuo about " Lin coln's (rumpling on the laws" to put down rebellion, you will find it in such rotten or gans ol treason as tho Portland Advertiser. Tho border rulliins alio invaded Kansas from Missouri, and instituted mob law in place of statute law, enforcing their brutal behests with bowie-knives and bludgeons, inscribed on their bnunirs "Law awl Or der party." lJnchanan, when ho sent in tlio l.ceoinplou Constitution and begged Congress to force slavery down the throats ol tho people of Kansas against their will, urged that such a villainous procedure would be strictly carrying out the great principle of " popular sovereignly." Sena tor I l.iinmon J, when he told us in tho V. S. Senate, March 4, ISoS, that a minority had ruled this Government six-scventlis of tho time since its organization, thought n minority rule the very essence of democra cy. The rebels in all tho Southern States, after having stolen tly; Government forts, robbed tho mints nnd arsenals, spit upon and trampled tho Constitution under foot, und set every law of tho General Govern ment nt defiance, proclaiming them all to bo null nnd void, nro constantly whining about Lincoln's " unconstiliition.il and il leil uc.v." Tho violation of every law, human und divine, on the part of the rebels, is more than winked nt by the half-breed organs of treason in this State, but let the Adminis tration suspend tho habeat corpus writ, when it is attempted to wrest u traitor from tho hands of tho only effectual and Constitutional power that can save the Government in timo of n revolution, and these oj-guns nro thrown into a lockjaw by stepping upon an imaginary sliver lorn from o Constitution shattered by the guns that defend the national capital from the torch of tho traitor incendiary. The Ex ecutive of this great nation, backed np bv nu irresistible power, will probably con tinue to execute the laws and support the Constitution as understood by him', 'instrud of asking traitors to define tho limits of his constitutional powers, notwithstanding the whino of G.

Up to two o'clock the enemy wiro driven nearly two miles, fulling back from one position to another, equally strong nt every point. Frh reinforcements poured in, almost without number. The Zouaves wero terri bly cut up. While drawing up to make nn iitlnck, they were u.'siiled by concealed I nttcries with n strong support, on their flank, nnd forced to I r.-nk.

L'nough is known to warrant the statement that wo suffered in a degree which cast n gloom over nil, nnd excited tho deep-e-t melancholy throughout Washington. Tlio carnngo was tremendous on both sides. Ours is represented us frightful. We wire advancing and taking their mask ed batteries, driving tho enemy slowly nnd surely towards Manassas, when they seem ed to bo reinforced by Gen. Johnston, who it i' "pears took tho command imme diately, und commenced driving us bnck, when n panic among our troops suddenly occurred, and a regular stampede took place; though Gen. McDowell attempted to make a stand nt Ceutcrville, but the panic was so fearful that tho whole nrmy became demoralized, nnd it was Impossible to check them nt Ceutcrville or Fairfax Court House. The retreat continued till they reached tho regular entrenchments. A lurgo number fell by the way from ex haustion. Gen. McDowell was in the rear, exerting himself to recall the men, with only partial success. The latter part of the iirmv is said to have made tho retreat iu order. A prisoner says the force sent ngninsl us CotiM.stcd of about 30,000. including n large number of cavalry. Ho says, ow ing to reinforcements from liichmond, Har per's Terry and other points, tho enemy's effective force was 00,000. Our Fire Zouaves, New York 10th nnd other regiments suffered frightfully. Several of our batteries wero taken by tho enemy; also tho 82-pounder rillo siege cannon. Our provision train is supposed to be saved. Largo droves of cattle wero saved by being driven bnck. It is supposed that Gen. Mansfield will take command of the fortifications on the other side of tho Potomac, which are pro nounced by miiltary engineers able to hold out ngainst nny force the enemy may bring against them. Largo rille cannon nnd mortars nro be ing rapidly moulded. Tho city is intensely excited this mor ning.

The panic which resulted so disastrously is said to have broken out among the team sters ninl civilians, nnd communicated to the rear of the nrmy. Washington, July 22. It is said that the black horse eavnjry attacked our rear in the retreat, when a remnant ol the Fire Zouaves turned nnd fired, killing ail but six of them. Tho corps oTitrmee nt Wnshiacton is to bo organized and increased. Offers of regi ments nlrei.dy raised are being made, nnd will bo accepted with rapidity. The number of killed nnd wounded is gradually decreasing. About 40 wagons of our army fell into the hands of the reb els.
