The presihent and the Bnitle.

The following is tho article from the Ma
hoah Republican Of Washington, alluded to
in our telegaphic dispatches Of yesterday. It
speaks Of Richardson's attack upon the Presi-
dent in the House:
Mr. Richardson, who had witnessed tho
the action at Bulls Run Of July 18th, and
who hcd examined the ennmy's position with
n military eye, was SO profoundly Impressed
with the hazard, of a second attack, unless
preceded by great preparations, involving
time, that he felt it to be bis duty to present
his views personally TO the President, either
on the Friday or Saturday preceding tho bat
tie Of July 81. He can not have forgotten
the reply he received from the President, and
il he has forgotten it, Others have not, TO
whom he has reported it.
That reply was, in substance, that the Pre-.
sjdeRt must ieaye h TO Gen. Scott TO deter.
mine The time and place ofgiVin7 5dtle 10 The
enemy. The President, we believe has held
no other language from first TO last, or upon
any occasion.
1t has sometimes been doubted whether
'rhcrc is such thing as fact ia the world"
but if there is one, established hcyoDn all pos.
sibity Of controversy, it is tbs one, that
Gen. Scott was uot hurried u single day, by
the President, into the action of July q.
That battle was lost by the junction (unex-
pected to Goo. Scott, and for which he is not
primarily rcsponsihlc) o the forces Of General
:, huston with Gen. Beaurcgard. There were
other difficulties, but this was the turning
point of the battle. Gen Scott aid not over
estimate tue value and efficiency Of his
troops, who would have triumphed over all
the other obstacles, great as they were.
Tho charge against the President upon
which VIC have commented, is not one which
Gen. Scot, either has or will make. He has
disclaimcd it, and it is not to him that We
are replying but to politicians likn Mr.. Rich
arlson, sho are seeking to make party capital
against the President at tho expense of all
tairno =, unss it be true that 10 politics every
thing is fair,

Only little while longer, mother,
