THE SITUATION.

The position Of the army around Washington re-.
order deprccating the violation of Mount Vernon
by the rebel forces and expressing the hope that
should the necessities of the war throw the Union
army into that precinct, the tomb and home of
Washington will be respected.
1t is said that the government has made ar
rangemsnts with four manufactures to have sixty
tracts have been made with one foundry to manu-
facture three hundred in given time. If this be
true. General Mcclellan will be supplied with all
the artillery he SO much needs in re-openipg the
campaign.
, Intelligence was received at the War Depart
ment,yesterday from Captain Rowan, of the Paw
nee, which leads to the suppositon that the rebels
around Aqua Creek were meditating mischief It
appears, stat ted that Captain Rowan received an
anonymous communication from Alexandria to the
effect that the rebels at Aqua Creek had taken all
the upper works off the steamer Page and
planted six guns on her, and also that all the
fatboats on the Rappahannock had been taken
over to the Potomac. On the receipt Of this infor.
nation the War Department at once ordered the
Pawnee to proceed to Aqua Creek and reconnoi.
ter the movements of the rebels, it being supposed
that these atboats were intended for some purpose
threatening danger to the alphabetically the
transfer of troops.
The intelligence of Governor Wise's defeat in
Western Virginia by the troops of General Cox,
which we showed yesterday by series of collateral
circumstances to be probably true, has proved to
be complete fight of General Wise, by an official
despatch received at the War Department yeyter
day from Brigadier General Rosencrans. Accord
ing to this report General Cox, with his Union
troops, who was following Wise, reached Gawley
bridge on Monday, the 29th ult., where the Gawley
and New rivers conjoin to form the Kanawha
and that Governor Wise fed before them without
showing fight, leaving 1000 muskets and several
kegs Of powder in the hands of General Cox,s
troops. Wise destroyed the bridge behind him to
prevent pursuit. It was said that Governor Wise >
soldiers were deserving him in large numbers, in
consequence of the destruction of property which
he permitted on his march. General Rosencrans
says that the Kanawha valley is now entirely free
from rebels.
From other quarters of the seat of war there is
nothing Of Importance to report. The position of
Gen. Banks at Harpers Ferry is represented to be
very strong, nor is there any reason to suppose
that the rebels are concentrated in large force in
the neighborhood, although their pickets some.
times show themselves.

SHARpsHosrING NoHya AND SourH.-PreSious
to the commencement Of hostiitics for the sup-
preston Of rebellion, loud boasts were made in
the disloyal States, that Southern superiority, as
artillerists and riferaen, would enable them to
fight us with odds in their favor Facts have
not borne out this raunt. In the battle at Bull
run, although defeated, we did not lose single
general, and but one colonel. On the other
hand, though iatrcnched, the ins,,rrection;sts
had two generals killed one colonel fell ON
Jobnstons staff, and another was badly wound
ed. and seven other coloaels OF regiments were
either killed or wounded. Moreover the rebel
loss was far greater in proportion than ours
Notwithstanding the rout, our killed and
wounded numbered but thousand, while theirs
according to their own account was twice az
many. Our troops are, in reality, 50 much bet.
ter marksmen than those Of the traitors, that
their triumphs are achieved with greater loss to
themselves than TO U.s.

WHO APPOINTED GENERAL Mcdowell THE
late commander of the Union troops, beyond
the Potomac, has been severely censured for
losing the battle of Bull run; but we believe
no one has questioned his courage, general
ability or personal character. 1t is simply evil
dent that though an admirable colonel Of a
regiment and late General Of Brigade, he was
totally untitled for the position of Commander
in-Chief. That he was 50 unduly elevated was
owing to the solicitations Of Secretary Chase,
who demanded his appointment so strenuously,
that the President gave way to it, and General
Scott was compelled to assent to it, This is
another proof Of the wickedness as we'll as folly
of permitting civilians and politicians to inter-
fere with department Of which they must ne
cessarily be wholly ignorant, and in which their
advice should be rejected as an insult to mill
tary knowledge andexperience.

Now it is rumored that the respective sumo
that have been placed at the DISPOSAL of those two
important committees-the latter composed en-
tirely Of the moneyed aristocracF-haye all been
expended. Isit any more than just to the, public
that both committees should forthwith publish
full, detailed and concise statement Of their
expenditures If the money has been honestly
expended it can harm no one, but on the con-
trary relieve both bodies Of great deal Of sus-
picion and injurious rumors that are current
everywhere. Their long silence only confirms N
the public mind the reports that are in crc,l-
lation.
The Union Defence Committee, at recent
meeting, had great deal to say about tho
Cabinet, and were loud in their charges against
some of the members. The Cabinet officers arc
able to take care of themselves, aud will,
we presume, answer the charges in their own
time but the Union Defence COMMITTEES
have been entrusted with the distribution Of a
large amount of money and the public have for
long time been calling for full statement q
the disposition made of it; but for some cause
or other it is just as hard work to obtain bill
of items from these moneyed men as it was TO-
obtain report in detail from the japanese
Committee Of the Common Council. We trust
that the aristocratic gentlemen Of the Union
Defence Committee have not taken Boole and
his associates for their models.
