pers got out an extra, the other day, which we
have before us, announcing the utter destruc.
tion Of Gen. Patterson's army, in the following
glowing terms:
"Prvate letters were received in this city
yesterday from the most responsible and rel.
q BILE sources, confirming the report of Gen.
Pstterson's Federal lorces) surrender. The
letters all agree in saying that after the refusal
of Gen. Patterson to surrender, (he having
previously consulted the authorities in Wash
ington ON the subject, and they having disap.
proved of surrender,) Gen. Johnston, of the
Confederate forces, sent a flag OF truce into
Martnsburg, with a notice to remove all the
women and children from that place. This
was done, then the battle commenced.
"The letters say the slaughter was most ter
rible on both sides, between two and three
thousand soldiers being killed and wounded.
Msrtinsburg was destroyed finally, and the
Federal forces captured. Gen. Johnston CAP.
tured their entire baggage and camp equip

A TRIUMPHANT TVINDICATION OF THE
PRESIDENT.

In the House, last Thursday, Mr.. Blair, OF
Missouri, efectually unmasked the tortuosity
and inuendoes and suppressions to which Mr..
Richardson, of Illinois, had resorted. on pre-,
vious day, to produce in the country the i'm.
preston that Gen. Scott had charged the Pres.
ident with forcing him, in some way, into the
battle of July 81. And Mr.. Blair went one
step further, and affirmed, what nobody has
since presumed to question, that the President,
so far as he interfered at all, did so by the sug
gestion to Gen. Scott that the battle should be
postponed, until the force of Gen. Patterson
could be brought down to cooperate with that
of Gen. Mcdowell.
Although determined always, as he had de.
clared in another conversation with Mr.. Rich.
ardson, to leave to Gen. Scott the sole and
exclusive power and responsibility of determin.
ing the time, place, and manner Of the then
less, as matter Of opinion and suggestion,
urge certain considerations upon Gen. Scott,
not, however, in favor of precipitating the con-
test, but ol postpontng it, until we could have
the same advantage of junction of our armies
on the Potomac which the enemy had.
These revelations entirely upset that theory
of affairs, which the enemies of the President
and the Administration eudeavored, and with
some success, to impose upon the country, by
a contrived and systematic clamor, immediate.
ly after the disaster of July 2l. Lies are more
nimble than the truth, but the truth has got on
her boots at last, and will soon overtake and
demolish her adversaries.
