in thu interests of Jeff Davis ore trying to
nhow that a largo portion of the Northern
people nro opposed lo the war for main
taining the Government, by quoting reso
lution!! from printed proceeding of little
onc-horso meetings pollen up by sore-head
disciple of Rnvis in obscure corners all
over tho five Stales. Now the fact is,
there meetings arc not countenanced, by
our man in a hundred in the free Slates.
They nro all composed of men who have
ulwnys belonged to the disunion wing of
cither tho democratic or the abolition party.
No respcctuhlo abolitionist or democrat
ever thinks of attending them. They arc
gotten up by men who would rejoieo in the
destruction of the Government, and pub
lished by aneh weak sheets us tho Adver

Oi'knco. Tho doors of tho Court
Ilonso at Astoria were thrown open to
religious exercises last week. Tho consc
qiicncu was that there wus a general rush
or the ndvocales of diverse opinions. On
Friday and Saturday evenings Mr. Ed
monds, of California, held forth on Uni
versnlism. On Sunday following Rev. Dr.
McCarly, Episcopalian, delivered two dis
courses, 'ind Mr. Edmonds one. On the
evening ol the sumo day, Mrs. Hons, of
rortlaud, went into thu clairvoyant state
and spoke on tlio Mibjeet of spiritualism.

Miys tlmt a letter, directed to " Gen. J.
Lane," fell into tho hand or Gen. Jim
Lane, of Kansas. Upon opening the let
ter, it wus found to bo directed to Jo I.nne
of Oregon, uud was written by n man in
New Hampshire, nskiug Jo Lane's influ
ence (o procure him n commission, in the
rebel army. The letter was sent to the
Governor of New Hampshiro to cnublc
him to look after tlio traitor.
8 0. A. ltrownson, the renowned
Catholic author, hi n lutu number of his
Review, speaks us follows of the attempts
of tho rebels to subvert this Government:
" It is not against a despot, era tyrant, or
a foreign domination that they have con
Kpired, but against their own legitimate
Government, whnsc only defect, if defect it
have, is that it cluiuis loo little power for
itself, and leaves too much freedom to tho
citizen. The American citizen who seeks
to overthrow the American Government is
not only a traitor, but a liberticide, n dis
huinani.ed monster, not fit to live, or in
habit any part of this globe; lit hai no
iuilabU I'-'nct thit Mdtt hill."
ty Thu following language of tho Chi
cago Post, a Democratic paper, wo com
mend to such snivelers about here ns G. L.
Curry aud poor Slater: " This is no wur
nude by freaks or curried on to gratify tho
ambition of one uiua, but it is a wnr for
the preservation of republican form of
government on this continent. It h not
Lincolu's war, but the people's war."
w ISf The Post Office Departtueut makes
a handsome gain by th suspension of mails
to the Rebel States. Tho cost of trans
portation io that sevtion exceeded the iu
c'o.me by more than f 3,000,000

From 1813 lo 1835 Ih Government paid f IJ3,'
000,000 of National debt. Now U aiy nothing of
the grcau-r value of a dellar at that lime, and
nothing of the enorinom Increaae of all kinde of
wealth, ao vailly beyond llio increaae of pnpula'
lion, wo have the following: tho average pepula
lion of the perioJ rererred to wa about one-third
of the number of in-day; but $1.13,000,000 multi
p'ltd by 3 la $459,U0O,U0V-mere than rritidvut
Lincoln atked for, although really Ittt than whul
the Government p.iid in the abort period of twenty
yean of ahnott uuexamp'ed piotpcriiy. But
again; ono dollar in Ilia Unilrd Stales to-day, U
probably worth not more than half what it was in
the year 1H30 ay it ia worth iwo-ibirde at much.
Then $304,000,000 wjuU be required to repretent
the 8133,000,000. But independent of thia
consideration, the tctragt lain of to-day it proba
blv worth at leant onr-lhird more than the aver
age man of 1830. Hut we havo nearly three
timet at mmiy people at at that period and each

m ike the Uix ible capacity of tha United Statea to
day four timet grvatur limn at the former p.-riod

from I860 to 1875 with the tains eo that we
could have piid $153,000,000 from 1815 to 1830.
Thie it no arguineut in favor of extravagance,
upon wh'eh we think every poiaibte check ehouM
be pluced, but only lothow our cipabiiity lo pay
all jmt it muuJt incurred for the support of our
Government in alt envirgencict.
The Right Spirit. Tho Pelroit F
frcst, a prominent Democratic pnper, thus
speaks in regard to putting down tho pres
ent rebellion. What a contrast it presents
to the whine of G. L. Curry and tho snivel
of toad-eating Slater:
The war, however, is npon us, nnd we
intend to givo tho administration a cordial,
hearty and patriotic support, in all just ef
forts to put down rebellion with tho strong
arm of power. In doing tit s wo will not
cavil nt small errors, nor higgle with nice
listinetion, go long na the great objects,
honestlv pursued, shall be the preservation
of tho government, tho upholding of the
constitution, nnd tho enforcement of the
laws. Ana wo intend in the mnin to post
potto all discussions, which may be con
strttod ns of a purty character, in regard lo
the causes which brought this wnr npon
iw, until after its close, confidently hoping
that when it shall bo closed, and party
passions shall hare subsided, nnd tho faith
ful pen of history shall record its events
nnd its causes, tho common sentiment of
tho country, regardless of prist divisions, or
overriding them altogether, will unito in a
settlement of the whole subject in some
manner which will really prove a finality."
A Reckless Zocave. Tho Richmond
papers tell of a Fire Zonavo who was
caught and taken to Fairfax. When car
ried before Rcatiregnrd, he manifested bis
contempt for that chieftain by putting his
thumb to his noso nnd gyrating witli his
lingers. Ruing ordered under confinement,
he turned about suddenly, kicked a Colo
nel who stood near in thu stomach so hard
tlmt he sat down, knocked thu corporal
who hud clutrgo of him head over heels,
nnd invited Renuregurd to " como on nnd
get lammed," declaring that " if bo didn't
have n muss he'd spile.'' Finding none of
the surprised lookct son started to meet him,
liu took to his heels down a lane. Several
shotii were fired nt him without effect. At
each successive dischnrgo he would turn to
make grimaces nt his pursuers, or jump
high in the nip and yell ns if struck. Sud
denly, a lieutenant with a drawn sword
sprang right before him from an adjacent
building. "Say, what arc you 'bont,
n p'intin' that thing at me?" exclaimed
Zouave. " Don't yer know ycr might cut
my bran new weskitf" Rcing marched off
to jail and put in u solitary cell, he signnl
izetl bis Drst eveninu's lodgment there by
setting it on lire. The rebels seem to ad
mire tho cool audacity of tho chap, nnd
Renuregar J laughed heartily at his pranks.
Titrv won.n iuve its there. A Ten
nessee secessionist writes tho Express that
us folks proposo to meet the Jorlh " steal
to steal." If so, wo may us well knock un
der at once. Flovd alono would be an
ovcrmuteh for the whole of us.
Soi'Nn. Hon. Anron Harding, Union
candidate for Cougrcss in tho Fourth dis
trict of Kentucky, is sound on the eagle.
He savs, if beted, he will roto to put
dowu the principle of secession, even if it
costs millions of money, oceacs of blood,
and a seven years' war.
So high toned and conscientious is
Gen. McCIellan, that, wanting to erect a
church for his soldiers, before using lumber
scattered about, he telegraphed to the Sec
retary of War for permission to use it.

McDowell helm veil admirably. He wn
active, cool, ami uttended to everything In
person, so far as possible; but ho had not
a sufficient staff, ami was not properly nip
ported by his subordinates. MaJ. Wads-
worth, of New York, one of ln nld,
showed the utmost gallantry nnd devotion
He exerted himself to rally tho force,
when they first fell back, and towards the
close, alter havtnir Ins liorsc snot unite
him, leijjrd the color of tho New York
Fourteenth, and called on tho bovs to rally
onco mora to tlio glorious otu nag. i ri

him. ond tho reiriment Milieu to nnninei

Fatrrux Court House, and Uevotcn iiinwe
to purchasicg everything needful for the
wounded, ol whom auotu a nonurui aim
Gfty were at that place
FoREDomxns Rtronit the Fioiit. The
New York Post says: A distinguished
member of Congress, who spent Saturday
niulit iu tho camp below Ccntervdle, saw
Gen. McDowell and several of his stuff.
After talking for somo timo with them, he
turned aside ond wroto the following upon
a letter envelope; "Saturday night, 10
o'clock After full conversation with somo
of the principal officers of our army, I nm
convinced that they liuvu little cxpectntioii
of winning this battle, which it has been
decided to offer to the enemy to morrow
morning; uud I am already prepared for
defeut." McDowell remarked lo ono of
his officers who opposed thu proposition to
open the liro on tho enemy Sunday morn
ing: " Wo must bo willing to run great
risk (or tho sukonf the benefit to be de
rived at this particular juncture."
A Hair ureaptii Escape. Dr. J. II
Erwin, surgeon of tho Second Wisconsin
Regiment, was chnscd by one of tho Islnck
Horso Cuvnlry who fired when within ten
feet of the surgeon, at the snme time shout'
ing, " Surrender, von d d Abolition
scoundrel!" Tho ball grazed tho head ol
Dr. L, who, ot the same time, made a big
leap into a clump of woods. Tho trooper
rodo around to head htm off, but his nppo
nent meantime managed to load his r.llu
and when tho trooper next appeared, shot
him through tho chest. Ho fell sideways,
the saddle turning with him, nnd the fr:i;h
tcned hnrsc galloped off with its dead or
wounded ruler dangling by tho stirrups.
Col. Cajierox. C(l- Cameron seemed
to hare a presentiment of his death. In n
conversation with him nt his tent, on the
evening prior to tho battle, ho said he had
accepted the command or tho gallant High
landers because he admired them, nnd in
asmnch as ho had only n short timo to
to live, bo might as well ucvoto it to his
country. He asked your i respondent
II ho wus going to the battle-field. Re
ceiving au nQiririntive answer, he said,
" Good by, God bless you. Wo may meet
again, but 1 nm ntrmd nnt in this world."
Somo sixteen hours afterwards the gallant
Colonel was shot from his horso nnd killed.
No Aristocracy im Death. Gen. Scott
said n good thing tho other day to a gen
tlcmnn who called upon him to nsk the
privilege of n (lag of truce, under which
togo after the body of Col. Cumcron, bro
ther of tho Secretary of War, nnd late
commander of tho Seventy-ninth cw
York Milita. Tho General declined his re-
finest, saving that ho never sent a flag for
such purpose during the Mexican war, and
intimating very distinctly that ho did not
believe iu nny aristocracy of death or burial
among soldiers, "Sir," said the Lientcn
ant-General, " Col, Cnmeron can achieve
no higher honor than to bo buried in the
tmc ditch with the bravo men who fell
around him."
A IIeroini. Miss Augustine Foster,
daughter of tho Second Mttino Kceiincnr,
from Augusta, Maine, was upon tho battle
held on iMinuay, had her horse shot from
under her, and walked all the way from
the scene of action to Alexandria, where
she was ministering to tho wounded nt the
hospitals, where there are fifteen wounded
of the Minnesota First.
Goon Shot. When tho colors of the
tilth were cupturcd by tbc irmninns. two
of them seized tho (lugs tuid were going off
with them, when Lieut. Matthews, of Com
pany K, Fire Zomivcs, fired and killed both
the Virginians and recovered the (lugs.
The Loss. Reports, unofficial, place
our loss in the battle of Manassas, nt about
3S0 killed und COO wounded. Tlio rebel
loss was 400 killed and 1200 wounded.
What Gf.s. Scott Thinks. Gen. Scott
is reported, upon excellent authority, to
have said to tho President that he hud acted
like a coward for the first timo iu his life,
in yielding to the nrgency of the public,
the press, and members of Congress, and
advancing upon Manassas before ho was
ready. Yet, probably every Congressman
and there were many who was in Gen.
McDowell's camp, was opposed to the con
templated attack, nnd they would have
preferred the plan favored by some subor
dinate officers, to send for reinforcements of
infantry and artillery, and ehell the rebels

labor-saving machine. No better recom

inbi History of Jiapolcoo, citrs the b

t!ic question of how much time Is mpim!
to miiko a reliable soldier. In s routrna
tion respecting the nuvnl conscription, Tor
got observed: " Much longer time d r,.
quired to form a sailor than t aoKIirr.
The latter may lie (ruined in all hiidctin
in six months." Napoleon replied;
" Thcro was never io great a mistake.
Nothing can be more dangerous than to pro
pagate such opinions; if acted upon, ur
would speedily I ad to tho diswlulioa el
the army. At Jcmnppe there were 50,-

troops of the Monarchy and tlie d
charged veterans whom the Revolution '
pellid to the frontier.

Why havo tho Romans done such rtst

Panics. Wo see many people win) r
disposed to attach undue importance to tin
fact that our defeuted troops wrro triird
with a causeless panic and retreated in dis
order from the field. It should he mot
hered, that pinics seized upon tho oklfel
nnd best drilled troops In tho world at diff
erent thncs, from causes of the most Iritial
nature. After tho battle of Solftriuo, tie
necideutiul overturning of an ammnnitioi
wagon started a panic in the victorious
French army which spread to a whole di
vision, nnd infantry, cavalry and artillery
rushed pell-mell from the field, nhaiidouiiij,
arms, provisions, ammunition anil enrj-
thing, and only hulling at lust from ihtrr ,
exhaustion when miles away from the bat
tlefield. All this happened when the Ini
tio hud been won ami thcro was no enemy
in sight, and yet the French troops are un
questionably eqnnl to nny in tho torld
both for courage and discipline.
5T Fuels clearly show that tho rcbrb
were retreating toward Manassas at tin
sumo time tlmt our army wcro flying kck
to Washington. Tito rebel cavalry wa
left lo cover the retreat on their side, nl1
they had then no idea that they had won a
victory. If our fugitives could have bn
formed in order in the renr of tho position
occupied by Rlenkcr' reserve, they migw
havo returned during tho night or next
morning and triumphantly occupied tho
very fluid of bnttlo on which they m
fought so well. Not a gun or a wg"
would havo been lost on our side, hat tw
heavy guns In tho enemy's batteries wonM
all have been captured.
When tho report of tho conduct of Blea
ker' brigndo was made at headquarters,
Gen. Scott expressed his gratification to
tho brigado for its bravery and stcadinw.
nnd its protection of tho rear at a tiu
when all opprchended o furious ass1"
from a pursuing enemy. .
