We are advised of proposition which has al
ready obtained the attention Of Congress, and is
likely to be favorably considered by it, to organize
an intelligence off ;e" in conjunction with and IN
der the supervision of the War Department, TO
maintain communication, through special agents
with all the grand diyisions of the army, and to
furnish to the public, through the press, such in
formation particularly of the losses and calamities
In battle as Adjutanl General Cooper may deem
proper and available.
Such an adjunct to the War Department would be
of great utility to the press would relieve much of
the distressful anxiety Of those having relations in
the army, who comprise in their numbers nearly
every citizen of Richmond; and might certainly be
conducted without detrilent to the public service
and with positive advantages both to it and to the
people in giving full and authentic intelligence Of
the results of battles in place Of rumors, which
y distract and often needlessy distress the public
mind a Richmond ErImiRer.

Affairs i'm Missouri.

Judge CATRoN, which we print in another column,
that the State officers are determined to resist this
and other aggressions upon their rights to the bitter
end. The people Of the South cannot but feel a
lively interest in the struggles of the patriots of
Missouri, to maintain their rights as freemen.
The tone of Lieut.. Gov REYNOLDS letter indicates
that he and his compatriots in Missouri are deter
mined to make the court, which would hold them
up as traitors to their country, parties this war
upon whom retaliation is Justfable and will be en-
forced In this they will be sustained by the moral
sense of mankind and by international law.
Our columns this morning contain very full de-
tails of the Great Battle of Manassas On the first
page will be found the Northern account of the en-
gagement up to about two o'clock. II is singular
fact that the New York papers of Monday morning,
the day after the battle claim that the LINCOLN forces
achieved brilliant victory 1t is very certain that
the dispatches announcing the utter defeat and rout
of the invaders were not allowed to go to New
York in time to be published in the Monday morning
papers. If they had whipped our forces, we are
quite sure the New York papers would have been
appraised of It in ample time for their issues of the
following morning.
The New York World grows jubilant over the
news, ana informs It's readers tnaL the dlspa6cnes
=" tell the story which the people have waited and
longed to hear" and that, after bloody a9d
terrible, but glorious days fighting have turn

tage, while our brave troops were flushed with
" the ardor of victory we have encountered and

" the rebels truly felt that the fate of their new
tangled Confederacy staked on the issues of
" yesterdays contest, and they disputed the ground

This is but sample of the stuff with which the
Republican press was filed on Monday morning.
The World of the 23l has hemily about "the de-
- feat, in which it declares 1--WE now paying

" portion our means to the mighty objects we have
undertaken. 1t is of course too early yet to fix

means necessary to its success and efficiency.

for its suffering or failure in consequence OF
its want of clothing or means of transporta-
ton, it is not Gen Fremont who should
suffer the penalty. Another instance which
shows how the zeal of Adjutant- General
Thomas causes him to scatter in his charges
is one which accuses Gen. Fremont in one
place of hurryng the purchase and inspection
Of mules, and in another charges him with
incompetency for ordering Gen. Hunter to
move with forty-one wagons, when Gen.
Hunter had but forty mules, Gin. Gaz, I'd
