Tho Day OF Trial.
TYro.

We hope never again to see such . day as
yesterday. The morning, indeed, was gilded
with the news Of victory, but every man who
did not allow his wishes to warp his judgment,
could see that ii was q victory bought with
such an exhaustive draft on the energies Of our
troops. that ifthere remained surplus fresh
antagonists, it must inevitably turn into the
ashes OF disappointment and defeat. But the
hours wore on with such steady accumula-
ton Of details conhrmatory Of the triumph.
that the thoughtful who caught up the extra
issue Of the press with breathless interest began
to settle down in the conviction that all ,rds
right. Then there came an appalling rumor,
through private sources-then the first public
admission Of a repulse, blackening into rout,
with oil its horrd details. The revulsion in
the community was like the shadow Of the PAN
10 itself, and men were ready to hear that the
horde Of traitors were rcsistlessly pouring in
TO Washington, that Baltimore was in arms,
and the officers Of the Government flying for
their lives.
But the clear and candid statement Of our
special Washington correspondent served to
arrest this feeling Of dismay, and turn atten-
ton to the fact that though the field might be
lost, all was not lost. II was recollected that
the first accounts were probably derived from
the panie-stricken, and at any rate might be
exaggerated by the prevailing excitement. 1t
was seen that up to the moment ofthe repulse,
the victory was clearly on our side, in spite OF
the enormous odds Of numbers, position and
batteries. aud that the hnal reverse Was an un-
ayoiiable incident Of all the facts in the case.
This consideration suggested both that our
troops would not be disqualified from making
an effective stand in their entertainments, aud
also that the rebels were probably disabled
from following up their advantage. As moth
ing further transpired to discourage the dispo-
sition to take the best view OF the matter, the
day closed upon our community with some
rays Of confidence amid the gloom.
And now where do we stand On the next
day, we verify believe, after the turning point
in our national destiny. What might possibly
have been done yesterday by the assassins Of
our Institutions cannot be done to-day. aud Il
arerted forever. The nation has been shocked
into an earnestness which nothing can lull,
pervert, or withstand. Those who have essay
ed the life Of this great republic must give up
theirs q. the penalty. And with them perhaps
will fall their cherished institution. We know
the high stake for which We are playing, and
VIC shall carry Il through to the end. The
integrity Of our country must and shall be
preserved.
The people OF the North are now called up
ON 10 exercise those virtues which Arc charsc-

BODIES REcovHRED.-The body Of Mr..
Chas. T. Patten. one Of the young men drown.
cd by the upsetting of q pleasure boat in our
harbor on the 3oth Of May last, was recovered
on Wednesday evening last. 1t was found on
Stage Island, near where tho boat went down,
by Mr.. Lyman F. Verrill, who resides on the
Island. The corpse was carried up river in a
boat on Thursday morning, and landed at the
Saco Cemetary, where the funeral services were
held at 0 o'clock. in the presence Of large as
sembly ofp"ople. This young man was son
Of Mr.. James d. Patten, on whom and his es-
Unable family the loss falls heavily. He was
in the Goth year Of his age.
The body found at Cape Elizabeth (of which
we gave On account last weekly was identified
as that of Mr.. James W. Emery, who was
drowned by the same unfortunate occurrence,

Our Disaster.

Our paper to-day contains intelligence
from our Army in Eastern Virginia of pain
full interest. Our readers will perceive that
Con. MeDowell's column in its advance upon
the rebel troops at Manassas Junction, after
aseries Of successful engagements at Bulls
Run, when attacking the troops OF the Con-
Tolerate States at or near the Junction when
in almost the moment Of victory, were TO
pulsed, driven back, by the probable arrival
OF the frosb rebel troops Of Gen. Johnston
command, who joined the enemy, and that
large loss in munitions Of war was sustained,
and q considerable loss in killed and wound
cd. The first accounts received made the
rcpulse much more disastrous than it really
was, but the more reliable ones received sub
soquently make il sufficiently painful to cause
the heart OF the patriot to mourn. and to
cause II to summon to its aid the couraSea aud
con.tancy which it should ever possess as
well in the hour Of disaster a. in the flush oil
victory. We have given tho dispatches Ms
they have been received, not attempting the
almost impossible task Of sitting them out
reconciling their contradictory statements,
and cndcayoring to ascertain the exact truth
OF this matter, and to these dispatches our
readers are referred. We arc truly thankful
thu. tho accounts first received, in all their
appalling extent have not been corroberated
and tina. our troops in the main behaved nobly
aad that the disaster is not OF character to
shake belief in the ultimate success OF the
cause of the Constitution and tho Country.
The Federal troops, so far as we can learn,
fell back to the vicinity OF Fairfax Court
House where they made stand, and where
they will most probably be reinforced and
strengthened. The record OF the events con-
ncctcd with the advance Of the troops, and
which trauspircd previous to the day on
which the disastrous engagement took place
as we'll as those which were the immediate
causes Of il were given. Our troops it seems
behaved nObly, taking and silcncius battery
aftor battery Of the rebels, and everything
was going on well until a panic originating
in the FIRST instance with the transfers and
civilians accompanying the army extended
70 tho troops finally producing confusion and
retreat Of q poi tiOn Of the columns in dis
order. The loss Of several batteries Of can
non, and other war equipments, Is serious
enough. but they can be repaired. While
tho heart Of the pa,riO, will mourn over this
check, il will cause No faltering in the deter
minatiOn to stand by the Country, and tia
principles Of the Constitution.

Re .o,u,io.. ON the Death orc. F. ra..en

At a regular meeting Of the Saco Zouave Ca
diets holden on Friday evening, 10Th inst, the
following resolutions were unanimously adopt
cd
Whereas it has pleased God. in his infinite
wisdom, to remove from our midst much es-
tecmcd friend and efficient officer, c. I. PAT
TEN
Therefore, Resoired. That VIC, as Compa-
ny, sustain in his removal from our midst. an
irreparable loss.
Rssolrei, That while we deeply grieve at
his loss, yet we shall ever remember with feel
ings of highest respect, the quiet AMI engaging
manners and manly qualities which endeared
him TO all his friends.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathile with
the bereayed family and friends in this their
hour of SORROW, and respectfully beg to ten
der to them our heartfelt expressions OF con-
dolence aud grief for their great loss.
Voiei, That copy Of these Resolutions be
sent TO the editors of the Maine Democrat,
Saco, and of the Union and Journal, Bidde-
ford. for publication In their respective pa

teristicslly theirs-patience, courage, forth
tudc. Notwithstanding this reverse, We have
much to encourage Us in the victories already
achieved. We have TO remember that while the
flag of the Union has heretofore steadily ODD
vanced into the rebel States while Western
Virginia has been emancipated and Missouri
disenthralled, the ports Of the rebel States
blockaded and their communication cut of
we have lost battle but not our position. We
still hold Washington and are likely to. We
have not begun to put forth our strength,
while that Of the South has been we'll nigh e.
hausted in this its FIRST effort to oppose our
arms. We have thousands of volunteers under
arms AMI ready to march to the seat OF war;
while they have already been compelled to re-
sort to drafts and enforced enlistment. with
men, money and all the snews Of war. and a.
hove all an unconquerable will. We shall soon
roll back the tide Of battle, make the rebel tri-
umph short-lived and turn the fruits Of their
victory into the ashes Of bitterness.
To this end we draw auguries even from the
bloody field Of Sunday. In the valor OF our
outnumbered and exposed troops we see assur-
ances which immeasurably overshadow the in
cidental mishap which followed. The Capital
is saved. Our determined soldiers, made wiser
and more eager by the sacrifice Of Their breth-
rem, are rushing forward by thousands and
tens Of thousands. We still have our gallant
and competent leaders. who will set an immor.
tai seal Of vengeance on this transient success
Of the conspirators. Let us, then, calmly re-
view all the events Of the one day Of trial
Our duties are paramount, and thanks to
Heaven, our hopes still 60 hand in hand with
them.
