1t appears, from the latest intelligence from the
seat of war; that the retreat of the Schleswg army
at the battle of Idstedt owing to want OF
ammunition than to the result of a hard fought
field, and no doubt exists that the retreat was per-
fectly orderly, and that the army will speedily be
ready for action, as at first.
The Danish report of the battle is published,
from which it appears that they lost twelve officers
killed and seventy four wounded; a hundred and
four privates killed and two thousand three hun
-dred wounded. Gen. Willisen, the Schleswig
general, does not state his loss but regrets the
large number of officers killed and wounded.
The Scheswig government has issued procla-
enation, in which il declares that its army, though
compelled to fall back, is not beaten-the courage
of the army is undiminshed, and the troops stand
prepared to renew the fight. Nothing is yet lost,
and the Fatherland expects that every man will do
his duty There has been no change in the rela-
tive positions Of the hostile forces since the 9th.
The Danes remain at and about Tropp, and the
Holsteiners behind the Wsttensee, at Schesmt, at
the junction of the Eyder with the Holsten canal.
The Hosteiners are making every effort to bring
their army again into condition to recommence
operations, and every battalion of the reserve has
been called in. Martial law has been proclaimed
for the Dushy of Schleswig

for any quantity Of discussion.
Tske the document altogether, AID we have the
history of one Of the most infamous pieces of public
robbery, ever perpetrated in this country. The
majority report is a special plea, the gather
ngs and scrapings of opinions long ago exploded
while the minority report is backed by testimony
that ought TO be conclusive. Mr.. L. Whtilesey
the fret Comptroller, who s an honest and consci-
eniious man-cne Of very few Of that class in

affair in proper spirit lie believes that the whole
Payment bare faced robbery Of the Treasury
and he hestates not to avow II. Mr. Whittles-y
and the Fist Auditor Mr.. Collins, are both matter
Of fact men, and have some correct notions with
respect TO the money in the Treasury, and the way
in which il should be taken OUTPUT they are al
most alone in deccncy. Washington is as foully
plagued with political sioolpigeens and robbers,
as New York is with torpedo makers and counter
letters. DIR. Secretary Crawford draws out hi.
hundred and fifteen thousand dollars, and would
have. ESCAPED with IMMUNITY, only that an accident,

II is time for come Of those families, which have
awaited justice Cor more than twenty years, TO get
