THE BEsT OFFICERS.

The apprehension felt by many persons that tho
best officers of the United States Army are among
the Rebels, Ia not, thus Ear, justified by facts.
striking evidence that the reverse may be true is
given in the action at Laurel Hill, both in the
plan of the attack and in its management.
Gen.-Iate Major, u. s. A.-Garnett was first
fairly OutdOno maneuyering on that occasion, for
before Morris's brigade approached and started
bin forward, Gen. Mcclellan bad occupied Bev-
erly, tho very place to which Garnett was almost
sure to retrea;. Finding himself thus between
two free, Mcclellan at Beverly aud Morris Mt
Bealineton, the insurgcnt general quietly crept
away at night from his camp at Laurel Hill in
tho direction of st. George, the only road now
left open 10 him. His fight was discovered in
the morning, and for eleven hours our forces
followed him without pause. After rest Of
only four hours the pursuit was again prosecuted,
and with such vigor that the enemy, late in the
day, was finally oyertsken. How utter ther out
was, with the less Of many men, beside Gon.
Garnett, the public knows already.
As commanding General, of course, the credit Of
this brilliant action is due TO Gen. Mcclellan. He
by his plan first entirely circumyented an officer
older and his superior in rank in the United States
Army. But the actual pursuit aud fighting seems to
have been done solely by the Ohio aud Indiana
troops under Gen. Morris. We observe that Me.
Clelan in his dispatch speaks Of Moris's Brig.
sde, Lut not of Morris himself. This may be acci.
dental but that is hardly likely. 1t is more probe-
bic that Gen. Morris himself was not present, as he
has been we know, confined quite recently to his
camp by illness Should tis have been ihc case,

A SHORT WAR.

The Stock Market went crazy yesterday under
TIE impetus communicated by the advance Of the
Union armies from all sides toward the focus OF
rebellion in Virginia. II seems to be the universal
and joyful conviction that this is tie beginning
" Of the end
We have never disparaged the valor nor the
efficiency Of those whose hearts are in the rebel
lion. We have presumed that they will fight,
and fight well. But we do not believe the
thousands forced into the rebel armies by con-
scrptiOn or terror of mob violence will choose to
sacrifice their lives for a cause they abhOr; and
herein we thick the Union forces have a decided
advantage. They are Volunteers; they are fight
ing in their own cause; they chose TO fight for
it; and we feel sure they win do so with res
olutiou which the censeripts in the rebel armies
VIII not and should not, parallel. Hence we
have been most anxious that this struggle should
be- submitted at the earliest moment TO the or
deal of fair, decisive battle. Aud our greatest
sollcitudc springs from the fear that the Union
ists shall be entTapped into ambuscades or hurled
against impossible intreDchlnents. Give them a
fair field, equal weapons and equal numbers, and
We ask no more.
If tie Rebels shirk q battle in the open field,
skukiBg beh nd embankments crowned with bat
teries, the war cannot be long one. Their
resources are very limited; their country lies
open and pcnetFable; and their hopes Of foreign
aid will be blasted from the moment that they
avoid battle. They have ,Haggered so loudly
OF their ability and eagerBess to whip the UnlOn-
Ists two, three, four or five 10 one, that tho mo-
ment they refuse battle the whole world will
jeer them. They will be the butt Of every
joker, good, bad and indifferent, from the mo.
ment they hy the open field. We do not soy they
riu do this: few days-possibly hours--will
show.
We know well that the issues Of war are
most uncertain, and that bclIigerents are too apt
to undervalue the proves of their enemies. We
do not anticipate an easy nor a blOodess triumph;
yet We do most heartily rejoice that the Union main
army has OF length been launched against tho
enemy. We certainly feel strong confidence
that the victory will be with the Unionists,
though it may be purchased dearly and even
preceded BY partial reverses. Aud should the
Rebel forces at all justify the vaunts of their
journalistic trumpeters, VIC shall candidly admit
the fact. II they can defeat double their num-
Der Of UniOnists, they can end the struggle on
their own terms. We concur, then, with the
Stock Exchange in its confidence that the strife
approaches its termination.

TnE LATEST WAR NEWS.

We have again stlrriug news from the grand army
now advancing Wednesday night Gen. Tyler's
column passed the night at Germantown, email
village about two miles beyond Fairfax station
Thursday morning they moved on toward Centre
vile, village of three or four hundred houses, on
The road from Fairfax COurt-HOuse to Manassas
Junction. At the same time Col Hunters column
was on the way to the point mentioned. Miles was
at the crossing Of BraddOeks road with the road TO
Fairfax station, going on TO CentreVile. Heintzel
man was at a point called Sangsters Station.
Early in the day yesterday, Gen. Tyler pushed
OF and passed through Centreyille, from which the
Rebels retired without firing gun. Two Or three
miles from that place is creek called Bun Run.
A party comprising two companies Of cavalry and
. part of battery took up position on this
crsek. and fired at barn where some Of The
Rebels were stationed. A company Of their e&s'

Capt. Benham of the United States Engineers, who
is Gen. Morriss principal staff officer. He also in
the United States service is Gen. Garnetts inferior
and junior. But whether the conduct of the pur-
suit was due to him or to Gen. Morris in person
also educated for the Army-it was as brilliant and
successful as the plan which drove the enemy from
his intrenchmeuts at Laurel Hill For such was
the vigOr Of the pursuit that the insurgents took to
crossroads and woods, and were finally driven to-
ward Rowlesburg, where, if they ever rally again,
they are likely to fall INTO the hands Of Gen. Hill.
II is certain that in this fair trial of skill in ma
newer and efficiency in fight we have far more rea-
son TO be proud of own officers than to feel any
apprehension of theirs.

INDER An ALIAS.

A curious fact has been related to us in regard
to Gen. Beauregard Of the insurgent army. The
name of that gentleman with the fighting chin,
az Mr.. Russell of The Times describes him, IL
not Beaurrgard, but Toutant-Pierre GustaVe
Tcu,ant. HIS father was o Frenchmun, and "as
toe eldest Of the family. The family had an
estate called Beauregard, and the elder Toutant
was in tho habit of signing himself Toulaot de
Beaurrgard-Toutant of Beauregard. When be
made the application to the member of Congress
from tue district in winch he resided ia LOuislnha
for a cadetshp at West Point for bis sou, he
signed himself IN this wdy-TOutant do Beaure-
card-and the assumed title was taken for tue
surname. The appointment for the lad therefore
was made out for Pierre G. L. Besuregard, aud
the name was retained from little vanity, per-
haps, in its more sOnOrOus quality. Beaurrgnrd,
however, is still known among his relations IN
Louisiana az Pierre Tontant
II, few months hence, one Pierre TOutant shall
be heard Of about town, seeking passage IN dis
guse and in some humble way for parts uu-
known, it will be understood that he Is the late
Gen. Beauregard, one Of the ringleaders IN the
Southern insurrection recently suppressed, flying
from the fear of halter.
