The ABOLITION Faction SNuBBED AoAM-In
an incidental discussion Of the slavery question
in the United States Senate on Thursday, In.
volving the issue of reducing this war to war
for the suppression Of slavery, the sense of
the Senate was tested on a proposition of
Mr.. Sherman, to wit:-"That the purposes Of
our military establishment are to preserve the
Union, defend property, and maintain the con-
stitution and authority Of the Union," which
was approved by yeas 50, nays four. These
four nays were from Kentucky and Missouri.
The Senators casting them are no doubt in "a
vor of an unconditional surrender of our 60
verntnent to JEFF. Davis. They are evidently in
the wrong Congress.

ing to Richmond despatch to the Charleston
Courier, Hon. Henry May, quasi secessionist,
while in the former city, had "been in confer
ence with President Davis and the Confederate
authorities, looking probably to the deliverance
of Maryland" On the other hand, Mr.. Thomas,
the Union colleague in Congress of Mr.. May,
emphatically declares that Maryland has been
delivered and that the people Of the State are
very thankful for what our government has
done and is doing to secure them from ruff
fan despotism. When Mr.. May next goes to
Richmond, his mission will probably be in re-
ference to the deliverance Of Virginia.

TIE BAYoNET THE WEAPON OF THE Brave
Montecaculi, in his day one of the ablest of
generals, said the pike was "the queen Of wea-
pons;" and that was then as true as what Louis
Napoleon, in the Italian campaign with Austria,
said to his troops ia reference to more modern
arm-"the bayonet is the weapon of the brave"
And 80 his Zouaves proved it to be at Solferino.
The great success Of the British arms Is owing
to the use Of the bayonet which was always the
chief reliance of Wellington. Now, sinoe the
war commenced between the rebels and
the United States forces, we have observed that
the bsyo6et has bseh bit little used, and more
dependence appeats to have been placed on
firearms, large aud small We believe that the
rebels have few, If any, bayonets, which gives q
decided advantage to ouf troops If properly
used. The bayonst is the weapon with which
70 win battles and to make them decisive In \
ihekt time.

terday, and the whole Of Tyler's brigade was pre-.
pairing to move at noon, it being asssrtatned that
the rebels had abandoned their first battery.
General Mcdowell has his headquarters at Centre

space Of two miles around.
We give to-day graphic account Of the engage
ment from our special correspondent who was
present in the action.
The description Of the affair as it appeared in o
Leesburg rebel paper-which we also publish
elsewhere-is very amusing. It describes the
Union troops a. being Slaughtered like sheep,
and among them several field officers" The loss
Of the Union is put down by this oracle at
1880 killed and 1000 wounded and taken prison
ers-not a bad record for the rebels, considering
that there were not more than thousand actually
in the engagement.
General McClellans division in Western Virginia
is keeping up its reputation. A despatch was re-

ing that General Cox's Second Kentucky regiment

Is THERE REAcrIoNf-The organs Of the
rebels and their sympathizers at Nyack
meetings and such gatherings tell us that there
is reaction, that the war spirit has subsided,
and that the desire for peace has become very
general. The effect of the news from Bulls
Run yesterday upon the people here did not
indicate any such thing, but, on the contrary,
elected their determination to continue the
struagle till II Il crowned with victory.

A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITsELF.-The rebel
forces, we learn, are sadly demoralized in West
ern Virginia. II is said upon apparently good
authority, endorsed by tho Wheeling Advertiser,
that short time before the retreat of the rebels
from Laurel Hill, a desperate fight took place
between the Virginians and the Georgians. The
latter, we are told, made the former do all the
rough work, while they stood looking on
in the character of overseers. This was too
much for the blood Of Old Virginia, however
much she had dirtied her hands in the mire of
secession, so she threw down the shovel, and,
throwing discipline and decorum to the winds,
rushed upon the offending Georgians and In
ficted summary punishment. She was deter
mined to show that the excuse Of the men who
said they were gentlemen, and unaccustomed
to hard work" should not save them from her
wrath How much she herself suffered in the
fray is not mentioned; but fifty newly made
graves were found on the top Of the hill not
long after 1t was over The Georgians appear,
however, to have had tho worst Of It, and there
is general complaint among them that, as they
came to help Virginia out of sorape, 1t is at
the least inhospitable to ask them to dig her
bitches. 1t is . bad align when rebels begin to
quarrel among themselves. But we apprshend
we shall soon hear of some more quarrelling,
and on much larger scale. The seeds of dis
sension are sown broadcast oyer the South

ExCELIzn VI GENERAL ARMY ORDER AGAINST
OUTRAaEs.- General Mcdowell has issued an ad-
mirable order against the few men of his troops
who have disht uored the army, injured the 60
vernment and W eakeued the good cause by the
outrages they has . committed on persons and
property during th cir march to Fairfax Court
House. Houses ere broken into by some,
and by others one or two houses were
burned. As the Ge neral very properly OBJ
serves, "the whole varmy is disgraced" by
the conduct of few, and 1t is neces-
sary, therefore, to make signal examples and
visit condign punishment on the offenders.
General Patterson had to issue similar order,
threatening death to any of his corps who should
repeat the outrages some Of his troops commit
ted at Martinsburg. General Butler, too, at
Fortress Monroe, was obliged to take measures
to prevent the horrid violence perpetrated by
some of his troops in that vicinity. All
successful generals have been rigid on
this point. The Duke of Wellington
showed the guilty no mercy, and Napo-
leon the Great never permitted his troops
TO pillage or plumber. The only instance in
which Bonaratse suffered II was once, and that
early in his career. II was in the case of Pavia,
in Italy, where his little garrison was treacher-
ously murdered lie gave the town up to plum
der; but after three hours be said he could bear
such scenes no longer; and he never allowed
repetition of 1t afterwards. He said "policy
and morality are equally opposed to the sys-
tenn; nothing is 20 certain to disorganize and
completely ruin an army" 1t is notorious that
battles after being fairly won have been lost
again by the indulgence Of the victorious troops
in this propensity. The tendency of war is to
blunt the moral sense of those engaged in it,
and it is absolutely necessary to hold tight
rein upon troops, and visit their outrages
upon unarmed citizens with the most severe
punishment. But, from the enthusiastic manner
in which General McDowell's order was re-
ceived by the troops when it was read to them,
we judge there will be no further trouble. Our
men 60 forward to preserve the integrity Of the
Union, and not to plumber

DR.. Hughes, Card.

Doctor Alfred Hughes, a homeopathic
quack, of this city, whom have on a pre-
vious occasion described as personal, PO-
Iitieal and professional charlatan, publish-
ed a card yesterday, which he distributed
in circular form on the streets. relative to
his slanderous libel on John c. Tallmau, of
Bridgeport, a man whom this community,
and his own, will unite in pronOuucing
gentleman in every relation of life. In
that card, he takes occasion to sllude to
me as the champion of Mr.. Tallman, be-
cause I expressed my regret that Mr.. Tall
man had, through these columns, been
made the subject of his mendaciOus and
malicious ISLANDERS, and to transfer por-
ton of his epithets from Mr.. Tallman to
me.
It is sufficient to know that this "Oily
gammoned hypocrite," as have before all
luded to him in this paper, was excluded,
by his own confession in his card, from the
columns of the Daily Pres, as well as the
Inteliigsnetr, and that he has no social re-
cognition in the city anywhere, either
among the medical fraternity or among
respectable people. His common charac-
ter has been that of on iuplacable extor-
toner and dishonest emp'ric.
