SPEgoH OF HoN. J. HoLT.-On our first page
will be found the speech of Hon. Joseph holt,
of Kentucky, delivered on the occasion of
public reception at Lexington on his return
home from Washington. The speech is worth
perusal. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Holt was Postmaster General during Presi-
dent Buchanan's Administration, with per-
haps two months, during which time he was
Secretary ot-W War and therefore, should be
good authority on the subjects which he dis
cusses. When such men as Holt of Kentucky,
johnson of Tennessee, Robert j. Walker of
Mississippi, Rosseau of Kentucky, and Fos-
ter of North Carolina declare ssthat the Union
must be preserved at all hazards it is time
that those in the North who sympathize with
Secession should reflect on the subject. In
deed, the loyalty of such Southern men, as
we have named, should cause the cheeks of
every Northern Secessionist to blanch with
shame.

THE LAVE pErEAr Nor SO RAp.

The report of the repuse of our troops at
Manassas Junction, published in our last issue,
turns out to have been greatly exaggerated.
After obtaining the facts, there is but little to
discourage our men or to help the rebels.
1t appears that the rebels numbering about
10000 were strongly entrenched, under the
command of their ablest Generals, Beauregard,
Johnson and jeff. Davis. Our army under
Gen. Mcdowell numbered near so 900, attack
ed them, but not more than about %, 900 were
brought into the fight. The attack was begun
on Sunday morning and lasted nearly all day.
Our soldiers fought most bravely. They were
successfully carrying one battery after anoth-
er and repulsing the enemy wherever they
met in the open field. Everything was going
on prosperously, when the rapid return of
some of our soldiers to the baggage wagons for
ammunition, made the impression on the team
sters that they were retreating. Suddenly a
panic seized on the teamsters, and the civilians
who were there as spectators. They rushed a.
way with horses and wagons as fast as they could
go. The panic soon comm unicated to the
troops, and portion of the volunteers fed in
wild disorder. Others, however, fell back and
retreated in good order. The enemy made but
little pursuit at the time. 1t is alleged that
they were badly cut up and thought of retreat
ing themselves and either were unable to
make vigorous pursuit, or supposed our re-
treat to be mere feint to draw them out from
their entertainments.
The loss of the enemy in killed and wound
ed was about 1000 whilst that on our side does
not exceed 1000. We however, lost some
prisoners. But this will still not make our
loss as great as that of the enemy.
When we consider that our soldiers fought
at great disadvantage against an enemy su-
perior in numbers and posted behind strong
entrenchments, we have reason to be proud of
their bravery and efficiency.
One good effect resulting from the defeat is,
that immediate steps have been taken to re-
organize the army so as hereafter to exclude
all incompetent officers from command. A
commission has been appointed to examine
into the conduct of those engaged in this bat
tie. The incompetent, if any, will be dismiss
ed those who did their duty retained and
those who distinguished themselves, promoted
Gen. Mcclellan has been appointed to COM
mand, and his presence infuses new life and
| hope into the army. Fresh troops are pour
ing into Washington by thousands. All Off
GERS are hereafter to undergo a strict exami-
nation by Board of military men to ties,
their qualifications, and if found incompetent
they are not to be commissioned. New vigor
and watchfulness are to be instilled in every
department pertaining to our militcry service
Thus, we believe, that this repulse will turn to
our advantage, and temporary defeat pave
the way to a permanent victory.

The Sarah Starr,

We copy from the Charleston Courier an editorial
article in regard to the above brig, embodying also
report OF the capture of the vessel made to the owner
we believe by Mr. Monroe, of this place. passenger
and chief owner of the cargo AS to the character of
the vessel and the validity of transfer, and change of
flag there appears to be no reason for doubt.
We deem it due to Mr. Monroe to republish this state
ment here as we know that rather strange rumors re-
fecting upon him have obtained currency-though to
what extent we can hardly say The seizure of the
Sarah Starr, carried to New York, and the Herald,
carried to Philadelphia, will test some pretty delicate
questions between the Lincoln and British governments
