BELLOWS FALLS. JULY &c, 1861.

ca The sad disaster to our troops at
Bills Run, proves to have been a victory
and but for the panic they would have held
their position. 1t appears that some OF the
artillery having got out of ammunition,
went back for more, when those in the rear
saw them coming, ard supposed they
were rctreating from their position, and
thus the stampede began, and could not be
stopped. 1t is now also asccrtained that
many of the rebels put for Richmond quite
as fast as our troops did for Washington.
If Patterson had been on hand our victory
would have been complete. The rebel ac-
counts at Memphis, Tennessee, put their
own loss at 1900. Many pieces of artil-
lery supposed to have been lost, have since
come in. Col Einstein of the Penn. 26th
regiment, returned TO the battle field about
al o'clock on Sunday night and brought oil
six pieces of artillery, and at that time the
field was cleas and not an enemy in sight.

es5 Gen. Patterson played to the national
troops at Bulls Run what Grouchy played
with the French at Waterloo, while the
rebel Gep. Johnston came up late in the
day and played most successfully the part
which Butcher played for the English on
the same memorable field. "Why was this r
isl question often asked. Our troops had
their first battle at Bulls Run on Thursday
of last week, and yet during all the time
there does not appear TO have been the
slightest effort on the part Of Patterson to
move his column 10 their support lie
seems 10 have watched Johnston as Grou-
chy did Butcher, and the result is already
before our readers. Instead Of giving any
succor to our army under Mcdowell, he
next turns up very leisurely at Harper:

wonder he was superseded by Gen. Banks
lie had $4,000 men who would have easily
turned the tide in favor of the national
troops, and they were not over thirty mite:
from the field of battle during the entire
time from Thursday of last week to the
disastrous result on Sunday afternoon. Ii
is said that more than a month since it was
talked over in military circles that Patter-
son was not fit TO command his column, that
ale was an old man II years of age, and
dhat Ele troops had no confidence ia him,
but frem 4moi;ves of delieacy1 he was per-
mitted TO remain, 1t strikes us that we
have now had quite enough Of ''delicacy.7
