Further Details of the Manassas Af
fair,

The rebels outnumbered US three to one.
After the day had been won by us, fresh
rebel troops were substituted for those
who were defeated.
The ammunition of our artillery had
been expended in the contest. As the
caissons were rushing at full speed to the
rear for new supply of ammunition, the
movement was construed by teamsters and
civilians there into retreat. A panic a.
mong them occurred; they ran for their
horses, and, without waiting to ascertain
the facts, they cut the traces of the wagon
horses, and commenced prccipitate re-
treat.
The CONSERVATION thus created was COM
municated to the soldiers in the rear of
the column at the very moment when a
charge of fresh cavalry from Manassas was
made upon them. 1t was nothing more
nor less than stampede. The enemy
we're themselves unaware of it. The re-
suit is in great measure attributed to the
tardiness of Patterson. -----

The War Worth all it Costs.

!; War is an expensive luxury However
humanely or discreetly waged, it is a seri
Gus drain upon the life Of q nation. We
shall come out of the present struggle I'M
poverished in many ways. With the best
success, We shall expend hundreds of mil
lions Of treasure and sacrifice thousands
Of lives. We shall feel the bruises of the
conflict for years after the rebellion has
been crushed and peace has been restored.
Thousands of fortunes will be wrecked
thousands of bright careers will be arrest
ed. The mourners will go about the
streets There will be sorrow and an
guish-there will be despair that no hu-
man sympathy can assuage-in many q
gentle bosom. The wrecks will lie thick
around us-the charred and battered ruins
OF high hopes and sublime endeaVOrs-will
attest how severe has been the trial through
which the country has passed.
VIII it pay the cost? Yes-a hun
dred-a thousand fold-if we come out of
the struggle conquerors! If We sHcceed in
crushing out this miserable rebellion-if
VIC shall succeed in convincing the world
that We have Government, strong enough,
vigorous enough, determined enough, to
overcome all combinations and attacks,
whether from conspiracies within or inya-
slons from without; if we shall be able to
impress Christendom with the conviction
that our Western Empire is built upon
rock, which no eonYulsiOn can shake and
no tempests undermine; if we shall be able I
to do this, and do it effectively, the war,
no matter how long or how desperately
wagcd. will be the cheapest enterprise up
on which the nation has ever embarked. /
Every drop Of blood that has been she'd
every dollar that has been expended-eye-
~ purpose that has been banked, and
hope that has been erushed-will fructify
into future blessings. We shall emerge
from the conflict stronger in all that goes
to make up the life of great people We
shall resume tbs calm pursuits of peace.
chastened by the trial through which we
have passed-purifed by the affliction with
which we have been visited. We shall
lind ourselves elevated to a higher plane,
and quickened by noble impulses to the
of nobler deeds. We shall
ind ourselves purer. more self-reliant, more
self poised, more able to grapple with fu-
-ure issues, and avoid future dangers. We
shall find ourselves less bound up in self
shness, less the slaves of toll and busi-
ness. less groveling in our tastes, less earth

The successful termination of the war
will be the dawn Of new era in the his.

THE KANAWHA EXPEDITION.
Correspondence of Gin Gazette.
CAMP POGO" Kahawha River.
Thursday Night, July Is, 1861.


Information having been received a
headquarters that the rebels we're prepar
ing to make stand at Scaryville, eigh, o.
ten miles above this point, where Scary
Creek empties into the Kanawha, Gen. Cox
ordered the Twelfth Ohio Regiment Col.
Lowe, portion of two Companies of the
Twenty first, Cleveland Light ARTILLERY,
Capt. Cotton, with two ri2ed six-pounders,
and small cavalry company from Ironton,
in all about one thousand men, under the
command of Col. Lowe, to proceed up the
river by land, on a reconnoitering expedl-
ton. The instructions to the commanding
officer were, that if he found the rebels in
a position from which they could be easily
dislodged, to drive them out; if not, to
take position and hold it till the main
body of the army could advance. Col.
Norton of the Twenty-frst, who had ex-
plOred the ground the day previous, accom-
panied the party, but was only permitted
to take with him a fragment of his COM
mand.
The army is encamped near the mouth
Pocotallico Creek, or "Poco." as it IS gen.
orally called, the advance thus far having
been made mainly by steamboats,, four of
which have been chartered by the Govern
ment for the transportation Of troops and
stores up and down the Kanawha. On
one of these the reconnOitering party sup
piled with forty rounds of ammunition,
embarked about nine o'clock in the morn
ing, and were landed on the opposite bank
of the river. at point a few hundred
yards lower down, where there is road
leading across the country to ScaryIille
The distance from the camp to the village
is eight or ten miles by the river, but not
more than four or FIVE by land.
The column moved cautiously, the scouts
thoroughly securing the country on both
sides of the road as they advanced. About
three o'clock the party reached the vicinity
of Scarytown. when the fragment of the
IrOnton Cavalry company, which had some
how fallen in the rear, was ordered to ad- |
vance. They had no sooner rounded the
brow of the hill. which gradually slopes
off to the creek. but runs bOlder spur in
the direction of the river, than they were
met by discharge from a battery
on the opposite shore of the small
er stream, which killed one of their men,
and caused the company to retreat in great
disorder.
Capt. COtton's company of artillery,
which fought like so many tigers, was at
,nce ordered to advance, and took position
near the top of the hill. under a clump of
rees. The principal fortihcatiOn of the
.nemy, huge breastwork of earth, was 1
visible about half way up the {
opposite slope, and seemed to have been 1
prepared with considerable skill The dis [
ance from our battery was about five {

,ieccs of artillery. both rifed Founders, |

Editors Clroaicle:-I have nothing of
interest to write, from the fact that We
are eneamped on the same hill where we
were when last wrote. The enemy have
fed, leaving US nothing to do but guard a
camp. when there is not foe within t1eu-

performed, although the soldiers dislike it
more than any other duty they are called
upon to perform We send pickets out in
all directions Some of them a distance
of four miles We have about one hun
dred and thirty guards including pickets
to protect seven hundred men. You see
we are not to be caught mapping. The men
of the entire regiment are anxious for an
other march; in fact they are getting de-
cidedly discontented at this long rest. Idle
ness in a soldier begets discomfort, and dis
content begets mischief So if a soldier
is not at work. he is pretty sure to be in
mischief We are every day expecting to

out those prisoners and shoot them like
dogs? On the other hand is it safe to ad-

RETRIBUTIoN-There was an instance
of just retributiOn for treason at Rich
Mountain. Hon. John Hughes of Beverly,
a member of the Virginia Secession Con-
yention at Richmond, heard by some
means that our troops were endeavoring to
turn the flank Of the Rebels. He mount
ed horse and sped up the hill rapidly,
to convey the information to Col Pegram.
When near the summit, he was suddenly
hailed by pickets. SuppOsing they we're
Federal pickets, he cried out "hold, am
a Northern man" The next instant he
fell into the road a corpse, riddled BY
thirty balls. He had lied, and his own
friends, the rebels, whom he was striving
to save, believing they we're killing an en-
emy, put an end to his career. So may
they all perish-excepting those who die
by the halter Cincinnati Com.
