A late number OF the Boston Post con-
tains what appears 10 MS well considered
and Just criticism of Russell's last letter
TO The Tfues, giving his account of the
Battle Of BulPs Run. We give an extract
as an autidOte to the letter which We pubs
lished some days ago;
The reputation of a sensation writer,
which Russell won in the OrimeA and In
India, has been wrecked 1pon the Ameri-
can shore. Perhaps circumstances
Of this has not helped 70 mitigate the feel :
ing against the North which be had preyi-
ouSly exhibited. The rout, indeed, rs far
a. fact is involved, was ali that Mr.. Russell
saw Of the battle. Taking matters very
easily, probably expecting that the COM
batants Would wait until be come up, Mr..
Russell did not leave Washington until
eight o'clock on the morning Of the 2lst

A despatch from Philadelphia announced
the seisure of the copies of the New York
DAILY Re,rs which had been sent to that
city. The United States Marshal also pro-
ceeded to the Office of the Christian O5ssr-
yer, another violent secession Journal, pub
lisbed in Philadelphia, seized its type, and
forbade its further publication. The Phil
adelphia Press gives the following partieu-
lars of these summary proceedings:
nTbe Ctrisiian obssrpsr, the single paper
in Philadelphia upholding treason and de-
nouncing Union, has been Of religious
character. II never maintained a high re-
pute among the denomiuationhl prints,
hayiug always been feeble ia sentiment and
tone, aud generally on the brink Of suspeu-
sion. Its only noticeable feature. for many
years, has been its advocacy Of slavery,
aud il is reputed TO have maintaiued an Of
| fee In Richmond, Va, where It lived a pre-
carious existence by appealing 70 the SYM
pathies of slave owners, receiving dona-
! tons for the support of its northern edition.
"Aarshal MiliWard proceeded 70 the Office,
/ in Fourth street, below Chestnut, yester-
day, and took all the type, paper aud other
appurtenanees Of tie place. He has also
closed up the Office, and warned the per-
sous conducting the 06seTUert that at any
attempt to revive the publication they will
be dealt With according 70 law. The in
dignation of the people against this sheet
was rapidly eliminating down to the time
of its stopping, aud Il was to have been
torn out on Saturday night next-a mater
of which the authorities were cognizant.
The man Converse has been several times
showd up in Union prints, and he addressed
n letter 70 the editor OF the BglistiH, some
time ago, complaining that his leaders

aBesides the seizure of all pereels OF the

city, those sent through Adams Express

hauled all newspaper bundles at the Ex-
press Office at noon.
A.highly interested crowd Was collect
ed there at that hour. The orders were 70
seize all comics of the New York Day Book
and JohSndI Of Commerce, but none of these
latter sheets were discovered.
s,The first bundle opened, which was
daected to A. Gunter, Louisville, Kentucky
contained twenty-five and half bundles
/ OF ffty each. Then came several large
bundles of New York papers not contra

to Il. Taylor, Baltimore; but small bundle
enclosed were for parties further south.

HFinally some eight bundles directed to
II. Taylor, OF Baltimore, which, with the
the smaller parcels, made up the number

The following from that virtuous sheet,
the Richmond Dispateh, is the latest and
the biggest programme of the JEFF. Davis
ties that has yet made its appearance. To
prevent needless alarm, it will be observed
that the " Secretary of War has simply
" urged" the raising of the 500, 900 men
When they have " eagerly rushed as the
Dispateh says they will, We suppose the
country will hsar of it. The whole pro-
gramme depends on the rushing together
Of this army. In that event the Dispateh
lays down the following:
Determined to wage this wVr with prop
er yfgor, the Secretary of War has urged
the raising Of 500, 900 men At once. Re-
spending TO the call, our people will ca
gerly rush to arms at once, andy the 10th
of September. at latest, an army of $4,000
men could be concentrated upon the Mary
land border, leaving $4,000 men to guard
the approach 10 Richmond, and nppropri-
ate forces TO defend AcquiA Greek, Nor
folk and all other needed points.
Our column could then take up its
march, not for Washington, but for Phila-
delphia. Let us strike at the-fountain
head, and vast receptaeles Of northern
stores, and the workshops from which they
ct out their armies. II wouldbe far easier
for us to take Philadelphia than TO cap
ture Washington. Even If we should
give them notice of our intention TO pursue
this course, they would not believe us,
and our army would be far on its road
through Pennsyivania bsfore the wise moo
dies at Washington would wake to the reali-
" of our movement. They think they are
safe so long US Washington is in their
power. Even the giant intellect Of Nc
Clellau will not save them. The combin-
ed genius OF their acknowledged best gem
erals, Scott, Mansfield and Mcdowell, could
not withstand the blighting touch of Snu-
thern prowess Let us not talk of taking
their fortified places any longer. Leave
Washington, like Fortress Monroe, Fort
Pfckens, Fort McHenry, Tottugas and 9th
Their places to other consideration
II We take Washington We gains moral
yictory-not a substantial one; aud VIC
have still the onward movement to make.
There we shall find nothing bat cumbrous
masses Of stone, which can be of no SER
vice to Us. In Philadelphia We shall find
vast stores Of everything, and the material
and workshops wherewtth TO support our
armies in the future. Then our revenge
would not be sweet enough unless
we could tread with martial step through
the broad streets of New York, quarter in
the palatial mansions of the merchant
princes, who have rioted in dreams upon
the possession of the to be conquered Sou
therners. New York must be humiliatsd
beyond all other cities, for she has grown
fat and insolent upon the wealth which the
South has poured into her lap.

reached England on the 18th inst. The
7Taes accepts this battle as proof that
the North cannot resist the rebels Of the
Southern Confederation. The IShes, It is.
clear, knows nothing Of the spirit, cour-
age, moral and physical force Of the IN
ion. and the eager cotlon-lords who have
made a show Of subscribing their shiliings
for testimonial TO General Beauregard,
NAV find, little earlier than they antiei-
pate, that il would have heen just as wise
for them to keep their money TO buy bread
for the white slaves of the cotton factories,
who have n hard winter coming on, with a
shor; work and scanty wages. Mr.. Rus
sells one-sided account OF battle
which lie did not see, no doubt has fos-
tered the hostility to the United Staies
which the respective Governments
Of England and France undeuiAbly enter
tain. His statement Of our loss, SO TAR
beyond the truth, forms the basis upon
which is constructed the jeering review in
the London Times which wepnblshed yes
terday. His eight thousand lost muskets
have dwindled to a few hundred. Dis five
batteries Of artillery to two. His immense
quantities OF baggage and provisions to a
score of broken down wagons Heis as far
from the facts as JEFF. Davis was when he
spoke Of having taken provisions enough

at the same time his General at Manassas

We give elsewhere the latest edition of
the secession programme, as laid down BY
the Richmond press, in which it is prOpOs-
ed 10 march at once to Philadelphia, in-
stead Of attacking Washington. The hint
seems to have walked up the Philadelphia
ans to a consideration Oftheir position.
The Inqrarer, in an article on the subject,
has the following:
But sudden actions, sudden reVerses, the
very uncertainty of the times, cause us,
as patriots and Philadelphians, TO cast n
glance at our position, and see what we
have available, II Rebel threats OF carly
ing the war into Pennsylvania, or bidding
Phiiadelp hia PTspare,f should ever approach
their realization. When the enem.r is at
uur gates there is no time to prepare; and
while it Is vastly improbable, il Is not i'm
possible that they may be there.
In any event OF war or peace, OF sePara-
tion or Reconstruction, Philadelphia, With
al bel sacred memories to guard, is from
tier city, and should be permanently de-
tended. The Committee Of Safety OF the
city have a great responsibility resting
upon them.
It was understood that an oHicer Of the
Uuited States Typographical Engineers
had been ordered here to make thorough
reeonnoiSance Of the Southern approaches
TO Philadelphia, hut be WAS recalled with
out doing It. Again, We repeat, we are no
alarmists we do not anticipate attack; we
would only prepare for It. Public aud
private action should be taken TO surround
Philadelphia with defenees, and TO supply
3her With cannon. Men we have, and will
always have we want entreneliments and
guRs, aud We want them AT OScE.

The Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot gives the
following account of an important seizure
Of rebel correspondence in that city:
"Yesteriay morning Governor Curtin

stating that three men had crossed the Po-
tomac below the regular ferry under sus-
picious circumstances; and gone in the de
rection Of Hagerstowu. Governor Curtin
Immediately gave notice to the Mayor, who
detailed police force Mt the depot, and
Immediately on the arrival of the train the

They gave the names of Thos. s. Carson,

Kelly, who claimed no particular place of
residence. Carson exhibited pass conn
tersigned by General JSmes Cooper, dated
In June, sud Pegram had pass signed w.
a. Seward, and dated the same month.
Kelly had pass signed by the British Con-
sui at Ctenfnegos. When asked by Capt.
Biddle, who appeared for the government,
why they had not approached our lines and
come through by the ordinary route, Car
son said that their passes being old they
feared they might be revoked besides, it
was Just as near. for them to come one
route as another. Carson aud Pegram
werp both Communicative, and appeared
to look upon the arrest lightly, bnt Kelly
maintained logged silence and was III
az ease. The Mayor ordered a search OF
their carpet bags. which resulted in ind
ing nothing TO eonvict them
at was next intimated that their per-
sons must be searched. For this purpose
Carson was taken into a private room and
thoroughly examined. a number of passes
were found in bis possession, signed by
rebel officers, allowing him to pass Tie lines
of the rebel army, but forbidding his visit
ing any Of their camps. These, he said,
we're obtained in order to enable him to see

dispatch to that paper day or two ago.
This may mean the project mooted by the
Richmond papers-a project which We are
sure Is not for one moment entertained by
the rebel commanders, as it is not their
habit to give notice Of contemplated
movemeat through the public priuts-Or
it may mean something else. Our own
judgment would be thatit don't mean any
thing. 1t is only snOtherPieeeOftbat inap-
6roaehabie impotence, bravadO and hardi-
hood that has characterized the rebellion
from the first. 1t is OF the same piece as
the stories circulated here by the aiders
and abettors of treason to the effect that
Wheeling would be in ashes and the streets
red with the blood Of Union men in short
time-simplY nm expression of their own
desires, calculated to Brighten none but wo-
men and children. For downright lying,
Boosting and clustering, the rebel confed-
crates, from highest to lowest, excel all
the rest of the world and if ever they are
acknowledged a frst-class power it will
be in this respect.
tbs not impossible tbassome important
rebel movement is going on, but it seems
altogether probable that ]. Davis and pos
Sc are eating for something to turn up

The Valley of the Tygart River r-
rests OF Prlsoners--The Weather Be
coming Wlntry.
We are having II very pleasant aud quiet
time here in camp. The valley where we
are is beautiful beyond comparison. We
are surrounded on all sides by lony hills
and heavy timber. To tue west of US IS a
range Of bills towering up like young
mountaint, Rich Mountain being cOusptcu-
Gus in the range. To the east of US we
can see brunch of the Laurel Hill range,
towering one above another until they are
lost among the clouds. To the south the
Cheat Mountains stretch out in similar
manner.
Through the valley runs the Tygart
River, which is indeed a beautiful stream,
not quite so large as the Little Miami, but
the water is clear and cool, being an eX-
cellent stream TO battle in. A highly. civ
ilized people would transform this wild
uncultivated valley into a paradise.
Our regiment now Is in good condition,
there being but little sickness in it. We
have the greatest Abundance of black
berries and hncklebcrries, the hills being
covered with them. We think them whole

Our scouts bring in prisoners nearly
every day We are beginning to put the
rebe:.s to more severe ordeal. We arrest
every man that we can find who has had
anything to do with tue REBELLION. We
have now in the Jail here Colonel and II
Major. Of the rebel militia, who came out
with rart OF a regiment 10 blockade road
and prevent our forces from passing. Our
seouts bring 10 word that the rebels are
entting road through the mountains so
that they can come-in behind us. Bot if
they do not come With more than two to
one of us, we can manage them.
Our regiment mounts a heavy guard; and
we find it no child's play to stand guard
twice or thrice week. We are Obliged to
keep our eyes open to prevent spies from
entering our camp.
The weather is becoming little wintry.
Fires are comfortable in tie evening. But
our Colonel is disposed to keep us busy,
and TO warm US up with substantial work,
was ont yesterday with party of six,
searching the principal houses in Beverly.
We were looking for papers, aud other
proofs of treason. We found nothing Of
importance, save Eve or six trunks belong
ing 70 rebel officers, filed mostly with
clothing, which they had left in their hasty
flight.
