From a.c Pt:{afeipfta Enquirer. Republicans
When the history the conflict comes to be
written by the dispassionate historian, the
ses of our defeat NAV be summed up briefly in n
few words. Masked batteries. inexperienced of
ficcrs. the unaccouniabie aud unobstructed cs-
cape of Johnson $ column from the upper Poto
mae and fhc wild and fanticai Glamour of the Tri-
hume and its allies for an unreasonable advance;
these arc tie pcruicious iuhlences that did the
fatal work
Fhe disgrace must be wiped out this defeat
must lie retrieved by victory before which this
uf the rebels will pale. But, to achieve this
gr, ut result. troops must have generals who
know how to deal with masked batteries, who
are able fo estimate tie numerical force of the
enemy and the strength of his position anl above
all, these generals must be protected from the
Grceleys and other mischief makers of that ilk
who responsible for much of our present

From TIE PAiadeIpais Ereatsg Baltctin
War is an iron business; and in the matter of
the discipline proper to he exercised by generals
there are not many new fashioned improvements
possible. The rebels follow old fashioned styles
IN this respect. They allow no full reports Of the
proceedings, no unnecessary hangers on; in short
follow the old iran style com f!etey.

The news from Washington, announcing the

so great the desire to get the news, that
the newspaper Offices were crowded At an early
hour, and continued to be through )ut the day.
In all circles, the news had most depressing
effect, except among the parties engaged in re-

sent out, headed by drum and ffe, and a num-

too, were gathered here and there lamenting the
