prosecution for the forfeiture OF lot Of WOOL valued at

by Beach Co., Of Hartford, Conn, by the ship Devon
SHIRE from London in July last and entered by Messrs.
Davis Brooks Co., of this city the agents OF Messrs
Beach Co. As soon the entry made 100 bales Of
wool were delivered to the importers, and the remaining
five bales sent to the public stores for examination by
the government appraisers. On examination the APP
prasers found the value Of OF the wool (a Of which
nvoced at nine pence and three arhngs per pound)
TO be more than ten pence sterling per pound, which
subjected that portion Of the wool duty of twenty
four per cent ad palorem costing more than twenty
cents United States currency per pound The Collector
hereup0n instead OF imposing the duty informed Me3ers
Beach Co. that he should seize the whole i'm
portaton The importers then asked the Col
lector not TO commence legal proceedings until

ton to the Hon. Mr.. Thomas laying all the facts before
him The Secretary Of the Treasury subsequently in
structed the Collector Mr. Sche to release the seizure

more. We checrfuIIy insert the simplcannounce.

Mutual Retreat.

There is no doubt that the rebels were actually
retreating towards Manassas junction at The
very time when our soldiers were running to-
wards CenterYle The reinforc9menS from
Manassas were probably intended to cover the
retreat Of the troops that had been engaged in
the action. Long before the panic on our side
occurred, the wagon train of the rebels was
vending its way from the field, plainly indicat'
ing their intention to retire. This train was
followed by large bodies of infantry, End it is
probable that if our men had stood their ground
even fifteen minutes longer, they would have
had iudisputed possession Of the field.
1t is stated BY Virgjrian, who came from
Manassas into our lines to.dvy, that the order
for the retreat Of the rebels had been already
issued. 1t is evident tina. the enemy did not
Immediately understand the movement on our
side They thought themselves whipped, and
the sudden retirement Of their victors undoubt.
eddy aSonshcd them This is apparent from
the fact that no pursuit was attempted for any
considerable distance.
Now if this he true, it would seem that those
who have been ceu,uriug the administration so
severely on account Of this iII-star,ed expedition
are altogether in the wrong According TO this
account, Gen Scott was mistaken in his opinion
altogether The Nexcaus complained Of Gen.
TyIor that he d1 mt know when he vas licked
bat 1t seems that our American sodlcry, who
can fight brayely and win victories don't know
When they have conquered. Both parties get
pstoni,hed, and run from each other as fast as
;heir tried legs would permit them
"What a terrible thing is fear, y or some
thing like it, used to be the exclamation Of
the trapper in Coopers Prairie, aud probably
some of our valiant NJ. C's, who advised the
expedition, and urged it on may have occasion,
in their cooler moments to make use OF the
same exclamation.
We know not how much reliance should be
placed in these contradictory statements but if
1t be true that victory was won, what pity
it is that VIC had not wit enough 10 avail our
selves Of it. The truth, however, probably is,
that 3here has BIN no decisive victory won,on
either side, that it was a hard fought contest,
that both sides were willing to cease offensive
operation, and that both parties were glad the
other had run awey. We are not yet prepared
to believe that Gen Scott has been very mich
mistaken LolccN Patriot
