NEGLECT OF THE SgREErs-A WORD WITH A
DIIATORY CONTRACTOR -When Hercules swept
the Augean stables no one cared particularly
what price he paid for his brooms. So, If
Hackley would but fulfil. his contract and keep
New York deoently clean, the general public
would not trouble itself in the least about the
wages he saw fit to pay his employees. But it
is evident that the work is not done. If it
had not been for the fall Of rain yesterday,
which washed away part Of the mud and dis
closed to view the long buried cobble-stones, the
streets would be in as bad condition as ever.
The ashboxes are not emptied, and in some por-
tons Of the city the rubbish, placed in barrels
for the car.men to remove, has been allowed
to accumulate until ii has become public nui.
sance. One cause this neglect is the reduction
which Hackley has made in the rates of wages
for removing the dirt The dirt and ash cart
men soy they will not work at such starvation
prices. Hackley hangs on to his tariff, as the
Pennsy lvarians hang on to the Morrill, blunder
and so the public suffers.
We certainly have q right 10 demand that
the strike shall be settled some way or other.
Let the cartmen be re-employed at the old
rates, or else let other men be engaged at Hack
ley's prices. The public wants the work done,
and that quickly. Snow and rain storms may
serve as excuses for neglecting the street clean
iDg,but the ashcarte can q. least go their rounds
regularly, in spite of the weather. The City
Inspectors corps shosld make note Of this;
and, if the work be not done regularly and
efficiently, we hope that Hackley will be kept
out Of the first ins:alnent of that s279, 900 for
some time longer. Already the contractor has
lost all claim to the title Of Hercules, and the
public has half decided that be deserves an
other by no means SO complimentary. Let
him take care Of himself and of his work.

PANICS.

The panic which seized Gen. Mellow
ellis army on Sunday night. brings t.
mind the still more frightiul panic which
seized upon the rear guard and reserves o
the French army at Solferino After the
victory had been won. and while the Aus
TRANS were in full retreat. body Of French
horsemen galloped down to the rear to de-
liver an order or to bring the news to their
comrades. Some one seeing them com
ing exclaimed 1.-THE Anstrisns: the Austri-
ans are upon us!'' Instantly a terrific
fight commenced, old and grizzly Zouaves
mounted artillery horses. cut them loose
and galloped of. In the space of a few
seconds some forty thousand men. infan-
try. cavalry. artillery. baggage trains. am
balances. stragglers. were rushing and
roaring down the road to Mantua. knock
ing each other down. trampling the dead
and dying under their feet. and hundred.
falling exhausted and breathless by the
wayside. In this way did whole divis

reason to believe that they hold communi-

The first reports of the defeat led us to
infer that it was much worse than Ia

of the rebels. We derive some consola.

The Chicago Tribune of yesterday. sums
mp the latest news as follows:
It appears now that Centerville and
Fairfax are still occupied by our troops.
and that the enemy have not ventured
across Bulls Run. Under all the circum-
stances. this news is about as startling as
fhc intelligence of our fatal defeat.
1t is reported by way of Winchester that
the rebel General Johnston was killed in
the battle. Doubtful.
The rebel estimate OF their own loss in
killed and wounded is 5000 On our
side the number is reduced to ], 900 by the
most careful reckoning.

ed may be placed at 1000 to 5000.
1t is represented in many quarters that
the Ohio regiments showed the greatest
CONSERVATION, probably from want of con-
fidence In their commanding officer.
1t is vaguely reported that Gen. Patter-
sons division arrived in the vicinity of
Manassas this (Monday) morning and
commenced an attack ON the rebel forces.
He was within 20 miles of the battle.
ground yesterday. but the exhausted con-
dition of his men prevented him from CON-
ing to McDowell's aid. 1t is also report
ed that 1000 Of our troops have been sent
to Fairfax from the other side OF the river.
1t is known that on the day previous to
the battle large number of the Ohio re-
giments publicly protested against being
led by Gen. Schenck, and it was only
through the opportunities of Col. McCook,
in whom they placed all confidence, and
other officers. that they were prevented
from making more formidable rebellion.
! 1t was known to our troops yesterday
that Johnston had formed junction with
Beauregard on the night of the first action
at Bulls Run. Our men could distinctly
hear the cars coming in from Manassas
junction. and the cheers with which the
Coufederates h,ilcd their newly arriving
comrades. They knew that the enemy
was superior in numbers and in their own
position. This was further confirmed by
prisoners taken. bat these facts were prob
ably unknown at Washington.
Gen. Schenck, as we'll as the older field
officers. acted admirably. He collected
his forces and covered the retreat, and UP
to the last movement was personally EN-.
gagged in the endeavor to rally his men to
make a stand at Centreville. 1t was the
arrival of fresh reinforcements to the ene-
my. in superior numbers. which turned tn,
scale of battle. The enemy before now
might perhaps have had more to boast o.
if they had followed their advantages ur
last night.

friend from California.

SEQ WASHINGTON. July %.
After the latest inform alton was receiv-
ed from Centerville at 7:30 last night. Sc.
ries Of events took place in the intensesi
degree disastrous. Many confused state
ments are prevalent. but enough is known
to warrant the statement that we have
suffered in a degree which has cast gloom
over the remnant Of the army, and excited
tho deepest melancholy thoroughout
Washington. The carnage was tremend-
ously heavy on both sides, and on ours is
represented as frightful. We were adj
vancing and taking their masked batteries
gradually but su rely. and were driving the
enemy towards Manassas Junction, when
the enemy seemed to have been reinforced
by Gen. Johnston. who. it is understood.
took command. and Immediately CON-
menced driving US back, when panic
among our troops suddenly occurred and q
regular stampede took place,
It is thought that General Mcdowell
undertook to make q stand at or about
centerville. but the panic was so fearful
that the whole army was demoralized, and
il was impossible to check them either at
Centerviile OF Fairfax, Court House.
General Mcdowell intended to make an
other stand at Fairfax Court House, but
our forces being in full retreat could not
accomplish the object. Beyond Fairfax
Court House the retreat Yves kept up until

To convince our readers that the knot Of

remarks Of two Democratic U. S. Sena.
tors. on the Goth inst.
Mr.. Latham Of California spoke npon
it, and alluded to his friends, Breckenridge,
Bayard. and others. who had charged the
President with violating the Constitution.
bat not aword in condemnation OF those
who openly trampled the Constitution un-
der foot. He said whatever necessity re-.
quirsd the President to do to enforce the
laws and the Goverpent. was right AMI
proper, even though he might have CON-
mitted an sinfrsction Of the strict authority
delegated to him; but he would not ssac-
ton the suspension of the writ of ka6eos
corpus in Maryland. because he Thought
that State hsss showed her allegiance by
sending members to Congress, and that
there was ne necessity for such Q suspen-
sion there. except it Was evident that the
Judiciary of the State was .disIoyal. No
man doubts the loyalty of the Chief JUS
Itice. He thought the increase OF the army
not warranted by the exigencies of the
the case: therefore be could not sanction
the act; but in regard to the blockade of
the ports. suspension Of the writ OF ha6eds
corpus in Florsds. and eli the other acts
enumerated in the resolution, he gave the
President his most cordial support; and
he would say here; IS the Representatives Of
q sovereign State Of loyal people, If the
President had not exercised these powers.
be would have voted to have him impesch-
ed as unfit and unworthy Of the place.
