EE We published yesterday the
bulletin OF Gen. Besuregard and Gen.
Johnston TO the Southern army Of Ma
nassas. Those high military officers
disgrace the epaulets upon their should
ers BY publishing, for the delusion OF
the men under their command, state
ments which they know to be untrue.
In saying that the U. s. forces in the
late battle we're at least three time as
great as the Confederate forces. they
utter a wilful falsehood unsurpassed il
not unapproached in the annals Of mil
itary bulletins.
Moreover, these two Confederate
Generals publisHto their followers and
to the world thaf the u. 8. forces had
been driven from the soil OF Virginia.
They know that this is shameful and
monstrous falsehood. They know that
the U. S. forces occupy Alexandria,
that Gen. Banks's army holds Harper's
Ferry, and is prepared to hold it against
all corners, that Gen. Buffers army
has possession OF Fort Monroe and
other locations in that vicinity. and
threatens an advance upon Richmond,
and that the army Of Gen. Rosecrans
has its own way in Western Virginia.
A falsehood is a falsebood whether
told by a man in plain coat OF in a
military one.
Gen. Beauregard disgraeed himself
as an officer and a gentleman in the es-
timation of all honest and intelligent
men when he published to the people Of
Virginia that the United States army
invading that State bore the motto Of
Beauty and Booty" upon its ban

~ The great speech Of the late
session OF Congress. was made by Sem
ator Baker in reply to the brilliant
polished treason of John c. Breckin-
ridge" The manner in which Breckin
ridge WINGED under the crushing ar
guments of Baker, and the lameness
of his reply, showed how complete was
the victory. At the breaking out OF
the Mexican war, Mr.. Baker was a
member of Congress from Illinois and
made great speech in favor of that
war. He was then a Democrat and in
favor of the South. willing to give her
all the territory she now wants to steal.
He was in favor OF the admission OF
Texas-of bringing her under the
Union flag-and out Of Mexican rule
and now he wants her TO be still under
the flag Of the Union, and out of Se-
cession rule. In that war he was as
he is now, commander of regiment Of
Union men. Senator Baker was not
many years since, a weaver in factory
in Philadelphia. He like Douglas,
Broderick and Johnson of Tennessee,
sprang from the ranks of the people
Injured to daily toil--self-made men
Who would rather MOTTO day be Baker,
the true loyal patriot. the self-made
honest man, than Breckenridge, with
his "high ancestral BIRTH" wealth,
and rank, connected as he is, with the
foul treason in which he seems to wal
low as if it was his only aim to so Gov.
er himself with iufamy, that on the
historians page he might appear con-
spicuous. That at least he will attain.

TIE REBELS KILLED at BULL's Run.
The New Orleans Picayune Of July 81
publishes letter from Manassas, dated
July %, which contains the following
important admission: mf
From a very accurate report just
placed in my possession, it would APP
near that our loss in killed on the field
was only between 500 and 500. This
is great loss,. it is true. for they were
the bravest Of the army, and from the
splendor with which they charged, were
the best targets of the enemy. Our
wounded will number between two and
three thousand. Very many Of them
are only slightly hurt in the hand, foot,

TWe agree with the Providence
Journal that the order Of Gen. McClel-
len. virtually commanding the officers
and soldiers iu his department 10 "mind
their own business" was not promul-
gated q moment too soon. We have
beard painful testimony respecting the
inattentlon OF men in high command to
the soldiers entrusted to their care
That the men should be tippling and
carousing in the low shops about Wash
ington. while their officers were SPEND
ing their time in similar manner in tbs
hotels. is not surprising. Some ofthe
officers have evidently yet to learn
that their places are not given them as
sinecures or for their mere amusement,
but for hard work. for careful attention
to their men. to their health. their COM
fort. their spirits, their proficiency in
drill and that discipline which makes
them act together effectively in battle
Gen. MeClelleh shows that he sees
and intends to remedy one Of the chief
evils in our volunteer army. We have
no doubt that he will take measures TO
guard us against the peril Of lOosing q
great battle and the lives Of thousands
through the drunkenness of high off,
GERS. Whisky has been almost as much
our foes as secession.
The General is also thoroughly organ
izing the brigades, putting each bri-
gade, into camp by itself. and accus-
toming it to the proper drill. He is at
tending to duties. as every good General
does. His soldiers who were under
him IN Western Virginia testify to-
his uncessing personal care of them.

| WHY THE MYsTERY!-Is there not
something significant in the following
from the Richmond correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury?
The government seems zeGLously to
conceal essryfkiRg they con from the pub
lie here. Up to this LAY (the 4th.I
since The fight, no report is made of the
scounded or dead; nor will they allow
those who have sons and brothers at
Manassas to go to ascertain their fate,
and administer TO their necessities If
wounded. All we learn is from the
newspapers, which obtain their informa-
ton chiefly from the wounded who are
brought here. The death of Col Fish
er. OF North Carolina, was not known
until bis body arrived on its way to
North Carolina. @
The same writer gives the following
sad account of the neglect Of the wound
ed soldiers at Manassas: re
Surgeons and others who were at
and who have been to the battlefield
give the most distressing accounts Of
the sufferings Of the wounded, and Of
the want Of means to alleviate the mise
~ of these brave men. The incapaci-
ty, neglect, or want of organization of
the Surgeon Generals and Commisss-
riat Departments is vehemently con-
demned. A surgeon, who went to the
battlefield to render his services, and
who returned with number Of sick and
wounded, informed me that little pre-
paration had been made TO take care Of
the wounded; that they suffered intense
Iy for the want of food, water, aad
proper medicaments. For two days
this gentleman could not gel anything
to eat. though he was there performing
the most faliguing duty. Nor could he
get the proper and necessary things
for his patients. There we're not suf-
icient number Of medical men and sur
geons to do the duty required; and
among those there, many were inexpe-
rienced and inefficient. With the
greatest abundance Of materials and
provisions captured from the enemy,
besides what had been supplied by the
Departments, both the wounded and
their doctors were starving. Nurses
were much needed, too. There is some
thing radically wrong in all, or nearly
all, branches of the War Department.
When the doctor 10 whom / have al
lnded went to the Surgeon Generals
Office in Richmond. to represent that
state OF things, and to make some re-
quisitions, he met two or three prim,
scented dandies, who hardly treated
him with respect. When be asked for
The Surgeon General. he was told by
lhese exquisites that they were ''sll
Surgeon Generals there" They SEEM
ID 10 treat the matter very coolly, and
quietly promised to take the wants Of
he doctor into consideration.

seS. As every patriotic citizen has, or is
apout to display the glorious ensign of our
nationality, and as we have noticed large
number that are entirely wrong, few re-
marks in explanation would no doubt be
acceptable to many about making flags
The American flag properly should consist
Of thirteen stripes, seven red and six white,
oae for each OF the original States. The
Gag should be one-half longer than wide,
70 matter what should be its size. The
Dlue or Union should cover seven stripes
starting with and ending with red stripe
should be one third longer than wide,
and contain one star for each State in the
Union (thirty y-four)
In number of flags recently made the
blue only covers five and six stripes. Now
flag of thirteen stripes, and the Union
covering six stripes, would be entirely
wrong, as it would not be red, white and
blue, but white, red and blue, or blue, red
and white, Again, by making the flag
sight, thirteen stripes, and the Union COW
ering the stripes, one-third longer than
vide, would save some time in making,
besides being correct copy of the Ameri-
can flag as adopted by Congress,
