THE STU.

Order is being rapidly restored among the army
at and around Washington. The orders of General
Mcclellan and the active cooperation of Provost
Marshal Porter have succeeded in gathering in the
stragglers and restoring discipline among the
troops
Congress has taken another bold step in the
prosecution of the war. The Tariff and Direct Tax
bill passed both houses yesterday, providing for
direct tax of twenty Millions The bill imposes
tax of three per cent on incomes over $500 per
annum. The duty on sugar is fixed at two cents
pound on coffee at three and half cents, and
on tea at fifteen cents.
1t having been observed for some few days past
that rebel engineers were making observations
near the Csan Bridge, it was thought possibly
with view to attack in that direction General
Mcclellan, accompanied by his usual body guard
of cavalry. who escort him upon all occasions.
visits that vicinity daily, and has made himself
thoroughly acquainted with the entire locality and
bells can assail the capital from that quarter.
flag of truce together with two dispatches,
was brought yesterday by two or three officers of
the rebel army TO portion of Colonel McCunn'S
brigade. near Bailey's Cross roads Lieutenant De
Lacy, of the engineer corps, Thrty-seventh Irish
Rifles, received the rebel officers, and conducted
them to headquarters, where they were detained
while Colonel McCunn bore their dispatches
TO Washington. One of them, it appears, was ad-
dressed to General Mcdowell and had reference to
a rumor prevalent in the rebel camp that some of
their officers captured at Bull run were to be
hanged. The other despatch was addressed to
General Scott and the purport of it has not trans.
PRED. 1t was thought that the whole embassy
was ruse to obtain information.
From Harrisburg we learn that the entire re-
serve regiments of Pennsylvania, eleven thousand
of whom have already been sent forward, by order
Of Genersi Mcclellan, have been placed under
command of General Mccall
Dispatches from Springfield, Missouri, inform us
that hundreds of Unionists are flying into that
State from Texas and Arkansas, to avoid the per-
secuton 81 the rebels, and they state that if the
government would only provide them with arms
the Unionsts in these two States would fight for
the constitution and the Union.
No military movements of Importance are re-.
within the past twenty -four hours.

ILL TREATMENT OF Our TRooPs.--It was i'm
possible for any troops to hold out long under
the circumstances in which our soldiers were
placed at Bull run on the 2lst of July. The
right wing had marched sixteen or eighteen
miles on a cracker to the battle field, under
broiling sun, and without water. They fought
all day without food or water. Human nature
could not stand it. Some of the troops bit
their lips to cause the blood to flow, in order
that they might moisten their parched tongues.
Others took handfuls of clay, which seemed to
be moist, and put it into their mouths to cool
them. Others laid down and painted and fOamed
at the mouth like horses overcome with heat
Many in order to obtain relief from the enemy,
surrendered themselves prisoners of war; On
the other hand, the Southern troops were well
taken care OF. Wherever one of them was shot
he was found with drink in his canteen and
bread and meat in his possession, while the
good clothing of the Southern troops put to
shame the filthy raiment of our ragged regi-
ments. There is no excuse for this while there
is so much money at the command of the 60
vernment. The effect upon the troops engaged
is very bad. sIt has demoralized and disor-
ganized them. We hope it will be the last
time that such treatment of our gallant troops
will ever occur. 1t issalready once too often.

A HINT FROM GENERAL BEAUREGAID TO THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENTAL the statement of Mr..
Julius Bling, published among our Washington
dispatches yesterday, there is fact which we
trust will not escape the notice Of the War De-
partment This gentleman, who was taken pri-
soncr by the rebels at Bull run, but who was
liberated on the ground of being British sub
ject, states that he had intended coming back
from Manassas by way Of Centrevile, but was
advised by General Beauregard that that route
would be dangerous, and that he had better go
by way Of Richmond and Matthias Point whence
he could cross to the Maryland side and pro-
coed safely to Washington. Our Washington
letters have frequently called attention to the
fact that it was by way Of Matthias Point, where
the Potomac is narrowest, and where small
boats can easily cross unobservel. that the cor.
respondence Of the rebels with Washington has
been carried on. When the hate Cartain Ward
attacked their batteries there, it was said tina
he had risked too much for small object. Tha
he had not unduiy appreciated the importanc,
of.the position is now made evident by Genera
Beauregard's admission and we would recon
mend to the governm, nt to lose no time in act
ing upon the hint End stopping all further tran
sit y tie enemy by this route.

THE NEWS.

The steamship Fulton, which left Havre on the
23d and southampton on the oath ult., arrived of
Cape Race at four o'clock on Friday morning. Her
advices are three days later than those previously
received.
The political news is unimportant.
Three ships had arrived from Australia, bringing
one hundred thousand ounces of gold.
In London consols and American securities had
advanced the former to S976 a 90 for money and
90 9016 for account
At Liverpool the cotton market was buoyant at
an advance of one-sixteenth to one-eighth OF a
penny per pound. No material change had oc-
Cured in breadstuffs or provisions
The steamship Northern Light, Captain Tnkle.
paugh. from Aspinwall arrived at this port yester-
day with two millions in specie and over four
hundred passengers. She brings the mails and
passengers which should have come by the steamer
of the 23d ult. The Union sentiment is represent
ed as very strong all along the Pacific slope. In
Peru Judging from the tone of the press the strong
est sympathy is felt for the present administration
in their efforts to re-estabsh the Union. The
Concrete, of Valparaiso, expresses the wish that
the war may eventuate in the utter destruction Of
slavery. The last news from Lima represents that
city as on the eve of serious disturbance from po
litical causes. All the troops were under arms.
The war in New Granada appears to have taker
q turn, and fortune now smiles on the government
side. Mosquera's chances of success are very
much diminished. The last n ews from the int
ror represents him in retreat, after an unsuccess
full attack upon the government forces, whicl
had been few days previously repulsed from hi
Entertainments.

Mrs. GENERAL GAINES FOR THE UNION
A Washington despatch says that Mrs
General Gaines has just returned to that
city, from New Orleans. "a strong Union
woman" that 'she considers the Southern con-
federacy already failure, and says that such
is the general feeling in New Orleans" We are
inclined to believe in this report for Mrs
Gaines is very intelligent person and close
observer; and, in her late visit to New Orleans,
the terrible pressure upon the South of the
Davis despotism, and its bankrupt treasury, Of
this war in all its aspects, of the blockade Of
the Southern seaboard, the Mississippi river,
&C., could not have escaped her attention and
her searching inquiry into all the gloomy mani
festations of this rebellion, passing in solemn
review before her, from Tennessee to New
Orleans. Before six months are over we hope
that the mass of the people down South will be
convinced that their Southern confederacy is a.
failure."

that he sent out foraging parties in every direc-

could not get otherwise. The people, he says,

pie out West call " whopper"

CHINA AND THE WESTERN NArIoNs-The
British government has received from its Am
bassador to China reports of the most satisfac-
tory character relative to the reception of the
mission at Pekin. The authorities there had
acted in manner so friendly that there was
every prospect of establishing commercial in
tercourse with the Flowery Land on much bet
ter footing than has hitherto existed. This,
while extremely gratifying to Great Britain, is
not without advantages to- Western nations
generally, and particularly our own country.
The moral effect of the recent British victory
over the Chinese has paved the way for the adj
vancing civilization of the West, and broken
down more than ever those barriers against
foreign intercourse which the Chinese, adhering
to their old policy of exclusiveness, strove to
maintain. Born of the same race, and speaking
the same language as the English, we shall be
received without suspicion and admitted with
out bloodshed to those facilities of trade and
transit which the British have acquired only by
a succession of wars. 1t will be strange, too
if we do not command a larger share of the
good will of the people than those who have
moved them down with Armstrong artillery
and impoverished them by the exaction OF
heavy indemnities.

AFFAIRS IN JAPAN.-Our latest correspondence
from the far Orient does not present to us
very fatecring picture either of the commercial
condition and prospects Of foreigners in Japan
or of the domestic harmony there prevailing.
The policy Of the government is represented as
exclusive and hostile to the extension Of foreign
trade, as, indeed, the request which it recently
made to the representatives Of all the treaty
Powers to defer opening the new ports would
indicate. Trade at Kanagawa appears to be
dull and Improbable for the most part
although some valuable cargoes of tea and
silks had been shipped to San Francisco The
demand for steam communication betNeen the
latter port and Japan was much felt |and talked
about, and the probability is tkt monthly
line, calling at the Sandwich Islands en- route,
would pay. 1t is not likely, kjwever, that just
now any enterprise Of the Bind viii be under
taken. ~ -

WHAf Losr PIE BArrLz or Be. VI RUN, MIS-.
MANAGEMENT or WHIsKErs-Thcre is a great
deal being said in varions quar- ters as to
who was to- blame for the defe vt of the
Union troops at Bull run. Now it is put
upon the shoulders Of one person, II. w upon
those of another-she last victim being
Colonel Miles, who commanded the ra serve.
II is charged that the disaster is due to- hrc be-
cause he drank glass Of whiskey during sshe
engagement II is very probable that iie was IN, vt
the only man on the field who drank 4 glass q
whkskey on that day. Byail accounts the rebels,
VINO we're victorious, were brimiull of tlAt en-
ncing stimulant. The truth is, however, that
although Colonel Miles might have comfo7sed
.ne inner man, nc was quite as capable of psr-
forming his duties after it as before Whsken,
IN TACT, hadno more to do with the defeat thang
the muddy water of Bull rum IL was caused
by the bad management of the commanding
officers
Providence was on the side of ourtroops, and
Providence knew that the reconnaissance in
force, attempted as it was, would only lead to
greater loss of life If pushed too far. But tho
generals did not know that they were defeated.
The men knew it 81 great deal better, and they
acted accordingly by leaving the field in q
hurry, to gather strength and wisdom for an
other and more successful effort.
1t is all nonsense, however, to be indhlging
in laultfnding and reorimination. or shifting the
blame from this one to that. What we have to
do now is simply what Henry Clay once add
vised the Kentucky hunter to do-'pick our
flint and try itagain."

We had only space last week to notice the or
ganization of this regiment, which Is to be mod
eled after the famous sixteenth regiment OF Brit
ish Lancers This regiment will be supplied
With all the arms furnished 70 cavalry regiments,
and in addition will be armed with that terrible
weapon, the lance.
We take the following statements with regard
TO the regiment from the Detroit Tribune ::
"A new feature, as tar as practicable will be
introduced into this corps. To induce young
men Of character and means to join, and furnish
first class horses, forty cents per day for thei'
use will be paid, besides the allowance Of $s pei
month for keeping = being about $3.50 per an
mum for the use of the horse alone. Owning
the horses, the men will take greater interest
in getting good horses, and taking better care o.
them.
ITO al who require it horses will be furnish
ed.
"The greatest care will be exercised in the
selection of . superior grade OF horses, which
will open to dealers in the States and adjoining
provinces An opportunity Of selling good stock
at fair prices.
ITO perfect all necessary arrangements, obtain
arms, equipments, &C., and secure the services
of competent officers and drill sergeants, the
Colonel (who with the Lieutenant Colonel have
been comissirned at Washington will proceed
soon to Europe, being absent for this purpose
not over six weeks"
1--WE should do great injustice to Governor
Bingham, did We not add that TO him very much
of the credit of this undertaking will belong
He adopted the suggestion promptly and heart

associated with him it will prove decided sue
