LETTER FROM rHURLow WEED.

Thurlow Weed writes to the Albany Eve
ming Journal, from Washington, on the disas
ter at Bulls Run, and discusses the cause of
it. He holds that Gen. SCOTS admirable plan
of the campaign was inerfered with
by "prominent individuals whose coun-
ellis and clamors'' demanded precipiiate action
and caused forward movement that should
not have been made. He asserts that the EN-
bsrrassments OF the commander-in.ch were
aggravated by the persistent hostility and eve
ry day aspersions of the postmaster general
whose brother a prominent member OF con
dress. assailed him from the stump. Con-
gressmen caught the same spirit, and there
was reason to apprehend that measures essen
tial 10 the prosecution of the war might fail, it
their clamors were not needed. Gen. SCOTS
plan was to keep the position near Washing
ton as a base of operations and first work
southwark with the western wings OF the
army. His plan would have made short work
of the war. But
:" For once, in his life, his purposes were
thwarted-for once, his mind became the
mind of other men, The result has shown
that it was Il fatal weakness. And yet, who
knows what would have been the effect Of an
adherence to his plans The New York Tri-
bune was educating millions to distrust the
wisdom OF the administration and the fidelity
Of the commanding generals. Every day EN-
boldened its audacity-every rail and wire
disseminated its treason-and every hour
augmented the popular discomfort. Congress,
though its session opened auspiciousy, began
to falter The Blairs-one in the cabinet and
the other in congress-were organizing an
"ON, TO RICHMOND" faction. To have re-
sisted these demands ,UouLd have overthrow
the adminisiration-an might have destroyed
the government. Madness ruled the hour,
and battle at Manassas, right or wrong be-
came, not a military, but a political neces-
sity.'"
rates the poioer of that clamor. 1t was not SO
dangerous as he thinks. 1t was very noisy.
Coarse violence was never more audacious.
But great deal more was conceded to its in
fueDce than it could have won by its own
force under any circumstances. 1t was easy
to see that the course pursued was doing more
harm to the violent leaders of faction them.
selves than to anybody else. AT any rate, it
was not in their power to break down the ad-
ministration, or take control of affairs, unless
all others should withdraw and give them the
field. Public sentiment was not on their side
and could not have been made to support
them; and the congressman who should have
failed to vote for such measures as are essential
to prosecution of the war, would have done
well to make his will Immediately afterwards,
and have all the papers publish circumstantial
reports Of his death.
1t is frequently the case that few pleading"
and noisy men, assembled at Washington, mis-
take themselves for the whole country, and
with astonishing self-delusion, speak of their
own violent utterances as "the voice of the
people," Yield to them and they may becomsu

with the more ardent cardinals and prelates,
propagators of the Catholic cause in its purely
religious point of view, are Of course persuad-
ed that the death of Count Cavour was a
stroke of divine vengeance; but it will be
perhaps more startling to British ears that the
same dignitaries should ascribe the present
supposed illness of queen Victoria to spiritual
yearnings on her part after the church of
Rome, into the bosom Of which they are fully
pursuaded that she will finally enter, as they
are quite convinced that her mother recently

FATAL ACCIDENT AT SoUTHBoRo'.- "A sad
accident occurred Tuesday forenoon, at the
residence of Joseph Burnett, Esq, in South.
boro, which was attended with fatal conse-
quences. The oldest son loaded his fathers
gun with shot, and placed it in a closet, out of
the way, as he thought, of the youngest mem.
bers of the household. 1t was found, however,
in the morning, at about nine o'clock, by
another son of Mr.. Burnett, a lad of only eight
years, who, not dreaming that it was loaded,
aimed the piece at one of the female domestics,
and pulled the trigger. The gun went of, and
the girl received the full charge of shot in her
breast. She survived but few moments. The
extreme youth of the lad, and his affection for
the deceased, preclude all thought that the act
was anything more than needless playing
with loaded weapon. His parents and fami-
ly and the friends and relatives of the deceased
will have the werm sympathy of all at this
fatal result of this unfortunate affair-BOSton

RETURN OF THE FIFTH.-The fifth regi-
day, arriving in Boston little after noon.
Col. Lawrence, to the great delight of his
friends, appeared quite well. He persistensly
declined the invitation of the city government
of Boston to ride with the authorities, saying
he had not left his regiment for a moment,
except under orders, since he left Boston.
Their progress through Boylston, fremont,
Beacon, Court, and State streets, to the COM
mon, was a constant ovation. COL Lawrence
was struck by ball upon the knee, and his
limb, though not shattered, was for the time
paralyzed. His regiment bore itself admira-
bly, under the pressure of enthusiastic affection
which encountered it everywhere till it was
safely Quartered for the night.

The regiment after the collation. was MUSTER

Ter started, under escort of their towns people,
for home. Three tcontrabands" came with
the regiment-two men and woman. At the
late battle the regiment lost twenty five killed.
twenty-six wounded, and five missing. The
national flag borne by this regiment bears
marks of hard usage. The eagle is missing
from the staff, and there are three holes in the
flag, two made by bullets and one by trag-
ment of shell. This flag at the beginning Of
the fight was borne by color-bearer Lawrence,
who was shot dead, receiving two musket balls
in his breast. The bearer of the Massachu-
sets flag, G. w. Wallace. of the Haverhill
company, was at his side, and seizing the na.
tional flag as it fell from Lawrence's hands, he

will probably arrive here Thursday morning,
by way of Norwich. They would reach New
York this morning. and leave this afternoon
in Norwich boat Without knowing exactly
how it will be, we presume they will not reach
Worcester as early in the morning as the regu.
lar steamboat train usually arrives, They, with
the eighth regiment, and the Boston Light Ar
tilery, are to have a great reception in New

the sixth regiment.
The escort of the third battalion, when they
arrive, will consist of the old City Guards,
Emmett Home Guards, Light Infantry Home
Guards, two companies from camp Scott, and
one company from camp Lincoln. The Ma
tional Band has been engaged by the city, for
the occasion, and the escort will also probably
be accompanied by the regimental bands Of
