Who is Responsible for the Late Dis.
ss az aster? i @ Il a..ia =


The events of Sunday last, which forced.
the Army of the Potomac to- resume its
old quarters near Alexandria, show that
General Scott knew what the occasion of
taking Richmond demanded, much better
than did Greeley, and those Republican
members of Congress, who were con-
stantly progging him to forward move
ment. There can. be no doubt that
forward movement of this time did not
meet the full consent Of Gen. Scott's
mind. He was not ready for it. But be
could not be insensible to the constant
efforts that were being made to destroy
his reputation as Commander in. Chief,
and to belittle him in the eyes of his
countrymen. by leading Republican jour-
nails. He was represented as "a red.tape
General'-as unwilling to move if one
wagon was wanting-as waiting to get o
cavalry horse shod, and requiring this and
that, ridiculous in themselves, and calcu.
lated to bring him into contempt.
1t was expected also that if no did not
meet the public expectation by moving
without delay upon the enemy, he was in
danger of being superseded by mob,
and more active person put in his place.
Not only that, but his apparent backward
ness was contrasted to his disadvantage,
with the gallant and successful movements
of General Mcclellan, who was eulogized
to the utmost limit of hyperbole for his
rapid and energetic movements.
&bo A
tient as Greeley and company. Indeed,
they had been tormented by outsiders to
hurry up "the old fogy General and
given to understand that they might be
driven into the Potomac, and military
dictator put in the chair of the President.
General Scott resisted as long as he could.
he knew that he was now engaged in the
most momentous event of his life, and on
the success of which depended SO much,
and he was anxious to be fully prepared
for the occasion He knew what he
would have to meet, and, therefore, felt
keenly the responsibility that was upon
him. But he would have been more o,
less than man to have withstood all these
proggings. He was spurred forward by
Greeley and company, and the result is
before the country. The whole thing will
have to be gone over again A fresh STAR
will have to be made. Troops will have
to be disciplined month or two, horses
for the field batteries will have to be
trained, and new guns and artillery stores
be provided.
tits to be hoped that Greeley and com
pany will hereafter let General Scot
alone. The late battle may be called
theirs. They are entitled to the credit O
it. Let the credit of the next belong sole
ly to the old Chief. He knows what b.
is about, and understands more thor
oughly than any one but the rebel lead
ers themselves the resources of the enemy
and what he has to overcome. He has
the confidence of the country; let hin
have the silence of Greeley and company

Mr.. Lovejoy and His Niger

That funereally facetious gentleman,
Mr.. Owen P. Loyejoy, is, in common
parIance, at it again. .sa
The unfortunate Nigger. one would
think, has made disturbance enough in
this country already. The Rebellion, ct
which he is the remote origin in great
degree, is very serious fact, and it seems
to behoove Congress called expressly for
the purpose of quelling it, to attend to
that matter at once, without dabbling in
small side-shows. p-'-
But Mr.. Lovgoy thinks otherwise
His whole system is full of the Nigger
1sr~se.. Not as cause Of trouble. Not
as the foundation Of differences that have
led to insnrrection. But as a Niger
He thinks Niger; be talks Niger; he
dreams Niger :. he even seems to see
Niger. taste Niger and hear Niger.
Very possibly he smells Niger. At all
events, he has never given evidence in
public, of the slightest cousciousnt SIS of
any SUBJECT whatever, that had net a Mig

SOME OF THE INCIDENTS.

esting scenes occurred. Col Cowdin, of
the First Massachusetts Regiment, was
leaning his back against tree in very
exposed position, when friend expostu-
lated with him for his recklessness. The
Colonel said the bullet was not moulded
that would shoot him that day. In few
seconds after another personal friend came
up, and reaching out his hand to the Col
onel, the latter stopped little to grasp it,
when conical cannon ball struck on the
spot where an instant before was the head
of Colonel Cowdin, shattering the tree
into splinters. The Colonel turned about
calmly and remarked, "that he was GER
tain that the ball that would kill him was
not yet cast" and proceeded to issue his
commands.
Your correspondent saw Colonel Jame-
son, of the First Maine Regiment, fall.
He was as brave soldier as he was an
accomplished gentleman.
Colonel Cameron seemed to have pre-.
sentiment of his death. In eonversa.
tion with him, at his tent. on the evening
prior to the battle, he said that he had
accepted the command of the gallant
Highlanders because he admired them, and
inasmuch as he had only a short time to
live, he might as we'll devote it to his
country. He asked your correspondent
whether he was going to the battle field.
Receiving an affirmative answer he said,
'good bye, God bless you. We may meet
again, but an afraid not in this world"
Some sixteen hours afterward the gallant
Colonel was shot from his horse and Kill
| led.
Your correspondent was leading his
horse over numerous dead bodies, when
his attention was attracted by deep means.
Turning about he saw q Virginia cavalry
officer, with both legs shot off. He point
ed to the canteen. A deep draught ol
water seemed to revive him, when, in an.
swer to questions, he said that he was an
officer of the Fairfax cavalry, and his
horse being shot under him-the bal
taking off botn of his legs--he crept few
yards to lie down to die. He said the
rebels had upwards of one hundred and
twenty thousand men at Manassas Gap
and that, according to his Judgment, they
could not have less than from four to five
thousand men killed and wounded in this
battle This man shortly after expired
Proceeding few steps further, an off

lace, was seen, and having on his breast

Colonel Miles division, who intimated to
the responsible editor of the Times that
there was danger ahead, when the caryall
containing the hero of the Mincio was
turned about on short cut and executed
a double quick" toward Centerville which
the famous Chicago Zouaves could not
have executed, nor did he stop until he
arrived safe in Washington. leaving the
Long Bridge in bis rear.
Colonel Miles in the mean time had
received instructions to move his reserve
forward. and the German Brigade, under
Colonel Blenker, following Green's, Hunts
and Tidball's Batteries, started on quick
to the scene of battle. The. brigade,
however, had scarcely advanced three
miles from Centerville before the entire
army came along, every man looking out
for himself Through the frmness of Col
Blenker a short stand was made at Gen.
terville, and the flying troops somewhat
reassured. All the threats, promises and
denunciations were of no avail, and the
only course to be pursued was to cover the
retreat as much as possible in case.of a
pursuit. The troops reached Fairfax in
safety, and those regiments that were sent
into Virginia on Sunday were ordered
back and joined the column of the re.
treating forces. Between Washington
and Alexandria all travelling communica-
tion was cut off by the Government, SO as
not to allow the panic stricken soldiers to
push into the capital.
