GENERAL M'powxLL's IrpoRr.


in-Chief, embraces forty pages Of manuscript,
without the division, brigade and regimental
reports accompanying IL, which In all number
one hundred and seven distinct papers. We have
only space to-day in which to say concerning Il,
that 1t sets down our killed and wounded Of the
disastrous day as follows. Viz:
kiHed-l9 officers and 49, non-commissioned
officers and privates
Wound.d-8i officers, and 947 non accumulation
officers and privates.
He says: Many of the wounded will soon be
able to join the ranks, and will leave total OF
killed and disabled nom further service, under
one thousand.
The return OF the missing 10 very mace urate;
the men supposed to be missing having fallen
into other regiments and gone to Warrington
many Of the Zouaves to New York In one
brigade, the number originally reported at GIG
was yesterday reduced to ia. These reductions
are being daily made"
According to this report Major James 9. wads-
worth, of N. Y, had horse killed under him In
| the engagement.
General Med concludes his report az follows
viz
I'm conclusion, | desire to say In reference to
the events Of the 2lst ult, that the General Order
for the battle to which have referred was, with
slight notifications, literally conformed to; that
the corps were brought over Bull Run in the
manner proposed, and put into action as before
arranged; and that up to late in the afternoon
every movement ordered was conveying us sue
cessfully to the object we had proposed before
starting-that Of getting to the railroad leading
rom Manassas to the Valley Of Virginia, and
going on IL far enough to break up and DESTROY
the communication and interpose between the
forces under Beauregard and those under John.
SON. and could we have fought day-yes, a few
hours sooner, there is everything to show that we
should have continued successful, even against
the odds with which we commended
Nots.-It strikes us that the misfortune was the
failure OF Gen Tyler's division or force OF some
hSe OF SIX or seven hundren men-cavalry, infant
ry, and artillery-or Of even less numbers to push
oy forced march, on frst reaching Germantown
Tor Gainesville, via the excellent and then unde-
Tended " Gum Spring" road, to or about Gaines.
Vile, (seven miles north Of the Junction. and
there to burn and destroy one two, or three neigh
boring Manassas railroad bridges 1t might have
cost the loss OF the small force sent to perform the
servicei but would probably have effectually pre-
vented Johnson's junction with Beauregard

NAVAL NOMINATIONS REJECTED
The Senate In acting the naval nominations
recently made by the President, rejected those OF
Commander Samuel Lockwood to be a Captain,
anu IT. "m n BAH u q IIIIauuvI.
While there may be reason for such action In
the case OF Commander Lockwood, we can con-
ceive Of no reason whatever for according such
treatment to Ii Ball, Of the very frst officers
Of the service, and though every inch Vir.
gilman, Of unquestionable loyalty to the United
States.
The fact Of his relationship to the Fairfax
Balls" some Of whom are disoyal, may have
brought about the rejection Of his nomination
through lack Of knowledge Of his personal an
secedent The Senate will, however, doubtless
correct this mistake Of theirs next winter, we
presume.
