She can make them fearful and cringing, she
can make them modest OR impertinent, inge-

in childhood, and mother can reprsss or
bring them forth.
She is responsible for the principles which
her children enter tain in early life. For her

GEN. PATTERSON

II Is asserted positively, from two OF
three sources, that Gen. Patterson has been
superseded in the command Of the Federal
column nsar Harpers Ferry by General
Banks, and that Gen. Dix takes the place
Of the latter at Baltimore. It is reported
in Washington that Patterson has refused
to obcv Two distinct orders to advance.
Whether true or not, ii is evident that Gen.

BANKS AND McCLELLAN'S COL
INNS.

Our readers may look for reports Of vig-
crtus movements on the part Of General
I'anks's army. Il a portion Of the rebel
fierce under Johnston has effected juno
ticn with Deaurega1d at Manassas, as re-
ported, Gen. Banks will quickly rout the
Remainder an1 drive them out Of Wincles-
ter. Two or three days marches will

BtauregIrl's army, which would place the
rebel General between two fires, Mellow

left and rear.
The lates: report from NcClellaa's d;vis-
ion left its advance guard in the vicinity
Of Romney, which is On the high road to
Winchester, only distant 81 miles. 4 few
Gays marching would enable Mcclellan
10 form junction with Banks at
Winchester. The combined forces, num-
bering from 10000 to $4,000 troops,
would compel Beauregard to retreat with
cut risking general engagement, as he
would have to contend with more than
10000 ncn Of the Grand Army.
Our special dispatches las, night from
Gtn. McDowell's army, intimate that the
great pitched battle may not take place
for Eome days Jet. The removal OF Patter
SOL and appointment Of Banks to command
lie Northe1n Division, may have beer
made for the purpose Of ensurlng rapie
advance towards Manassas and turn Beau

GREAT VICTORY AT BULBS Run.

Mn II al ! H AVkA = "A - - @AA>A ~ ~ ~AN"
Our dispatches from Washington and
Centreville affirm that Gen. Mcdowell has
gained splendid victory at Bulls Run,
takirg the rebel batteries at that place and
putting their forces to flight at all points.
The battle commenced at an early hour on
Sunday morning by heavy cannonade,
ana was followed by an assault on the
1nt1ny's battery in front, while Col. Heint-
zelmar's division took them in flank. 1t
the lates, alvices, General Mcdowell was
completely victorious, and was pressing on
3ov ards Manassas Junction. The loss On
1x'th sides was heavy.
If We may place full reliance on this
news, the glorious results can hardly be
oyerestimated- Deprived of their supply
OF water, attainab1c only at Bulls Run,
the rebels must retreat to wards Richmond,
and Gen. Mcdowell will so arrange that
their retrcgrade movement shall be rapid,
If not mastery. JEFF. Davis's Congress,
which met at Richmond On Saturday, will
doubtless speedily adjourn back to Mont
.fmery, or dissolve without ceremony and
without day.
While, at tbs distance, there is every
present indication of a decisive victory.
we should remember that it is get too
early 10 make positive affirmation Of the
fact, or to predicate anything certainly on
its completeness. Doubtless We shall be
able 10 give The full particulars in our next
issue Gen. Johnston's movements are
still concealed. Il he should suddenly
spl'tar on he scene OF action the aspect
Of affairs might be seriously changed. Il

attack thus ea,ly to anticipate the arrival

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Trihune.l
WASHINGTON, Sunday, July Fl, 1861.
A battle has sen raging all along the line
oftLe march at Bulls Run since six O'Clock,
and the advantage 60 far is decidedly with
General Mcdowell. Our troops have crossed
Bulls Run, have captured the batteries that
he'd troubled us On Thursday, and are push
;pg on to Manassas. They meet with fierce
and determined resistance at eye-y inch Of
the way.
The latest dispatch from Fairfax Court
House, at 2.A5 r. n, states that the cannon
aiding has lessened and the mu=ketry firing
ire,eascd. Both were more to the left aud
somewhat more distant, whence it is In
ferred that we are getting the better Of the
enemy.
Whether Johnston's whole force has
Jet reached Manassas is yet open to ques-
tion. The railroad from the Gap cannot
carry troops very fast. Had any body but
Patterson commanded our army they would
never have reached that point.
General Scott considered the news eati:-
factory, and is confident Of victory. Others
feel more doubtful Of the result, but if we
can hold the ground we have already Hop,
ail will be well.

VIA WASHTNGToN.
There has been no military movement Of
any kind on either side since the battle OF
Bulls Run. The rebels stay closely in their
lines. They were plainly seen to be REIN
forced to-day, from Manassas Junction, by
car loaes Of troops. They are unquestionably
in formidable strength and position. It is
thought our Generals will await the arrival
Of heavy artillery, when the rebel works will
be reduced or carried by assault By flank
movements. Heavy attachments from Aox.
andria and Washington are constantly arri.
1irg. In Two or three days, when all are rested
and fresh, there must be brisk work. Mean
while, 1t Ii likely our batteries will be planted
on the hill commanding the enemy's lines,
,;sd earthw orks thrown up.
The troops are generally in good health and
eririts. THEE pore Of the Michigan wound

We fell In with the balance Of the 21st Ohio,
under Col. Nibley; the boys were then so
exhausted, having fought for three hours, and
exhausted every round In their cartridge
bcxee, that the attempt was given over.

those instantly killed we're Capt. Allen, Co.

frequent that officers on reconnoitering expe-
ditions remain out for a considerable time

be uneasy about them, at least till further in
