"An Abolitioaist is any man who does
not love slavery for its own sake. as di-
vine institution; who does not worship it
as the cornerstone of civil liberty: who
does not adore it Is the only possible So
oial condition on which permanent ro-
publican government can be erected; and
who does not, in his Utmost soul. desire
to see it exscnded and perpetuated over
the whole earth, as means of human. re-
formation, second in dignity. importance

ligion. Hc who does not love African
slavery with this love is an Abolitionist. -

war not a sDecfacle

From the n. Y. Evening Post
One of the most repulsive features of the
late advance of our army into Virginia was
the large number Of civilians who accom-
panied it, We are told that not less than
Thousand persons having no military en-
ploymeDt went from the city Of Washing
ton in the wake Of the troops to witness the
expected battle. Only few Of them who
were connected with leading journals as
correspondents, had any business or call to
ue there, and went purely from motives of
curiosity. Congressman, clerks of the
government, hotel visitors, and il is said,
multitude of secessiOnists among them,
crowded the thOrOugbfares, as they do in
England on Derby day, or as in our country
paTts, the rural people fOck to general
training"
Phe scene was disgraceful in the ex-
IRENE. The sight Of a great battle field is
one OF the most dreadful that is ever pre-
sented to human eyes, and we cannot envy
the sensibilities of those who rushed to it,
as they would to a spectacle in theatre =
Bot apart from the brutality of the Incl
dent, 1t appears to have been main cause
or the serious disaster Of. Sunday alters
neon. Our pOble soldiers had already
made themselves virtually masters Of the
position; they had carried three of the
heaviest batteries-silenced others, and
prepared to advance upon the remainder,
or, at the most, to hold their advantages,
when senseless panic was produced among
the teamsters by charge of cavalry. This
was Immediately communicated to the
large number Of civilians, who spread their
terror among the struggling soldiers wher-
ever they, passed. They destroyed the con
fdence Of the soldiers in their own sue
cesses, and turned what would be tri-
umph, shortly into a defeat.
The crowd of seeessiouists which formed
part Of the "mGb e gentlemen were not
Flow in rreceiying their opportunity they
added to the clamors; they exaggerated the
runors ct daEger and they too brought
the first intelligence to Washington of a
complete decentralization and route Of our
forces, transmitted by telegraph. Never
theless, 1t would now seem that in spite of
the CONSERVATION Of the teamsters nnd
civilians, and in site Of the enormous
tales of the secession rabhie, our men Ie-
hused with wonderful GOODNESS, and made
their retreat in good ORDER
We hope when the next grand movement
is made, measures will be taken to prevent
another occurrence Of this kind; our SEN
ators and representatives are better in
their seats ;ban hanging about the camps ;
aud the idle visitors TO the Washington
hotels might easily be kept by the authori.
Ties from passing over the bridges O. the
Potomac.

The bravery OF our Troops.

The slurs of tine Washington correspon-
dents of the larger portion of the Northern
press, in regard to the conduct of our
troops who took part in the desperate fight
at Bulbs Run, on the Dist ult, are entirely
uncalled for. Indeed, these scribblers and
fault finders should be driven home. if they
cannot emf loy their time to better advan-
tage than slandering and lying about cur
gallant soldiers.
We see no reason to find fauls with the
conduct Of our officers in the terrible battle
The blame for our disastrous defeat rests
upon those who were the cause of The order
being given to advance. The officers had
to obey their superior commanders, and
they fought bravely, and it is said by those
scieneed il war who were witnesses to tho
struggle that they conducted their con-
mand1 skillfully. It was not their fault
or the fault of their men. that they could not
accomplish an impossibility as an attempt
to drive. the enemy from their cntreneh-
ment at Manassas proved to be. History
gives few examples Of successful attacks
upon entertainments. Bunker Hill and
New Orleans are instances among many
that could be cited of the defeat of superi>
or and well disciplined armies by undisci-
plined forces protected BY breastworks.
The truth Is. our soldiers fought with
unsurpassed bravery. For many hours
they faced the masked batteries, and the
shot and shell moved down their ranks
like grass. There they fought in the midst
of death and obstruction, until overpowered
by an enemy whose numbers aud position
gave him an advantage almust insuperable
And when they retired from the bloody
field, they did SO, fighting every inch Of
the way, until the stampede and panic
amongst the teamsters and civilians threw
them into disorder.
Let us hear no more insinuati0ns about
the exhibition of cowardce by our troops
at Bulls Run. Instead of showing symp-
toms OF cowardice, they exhibited disre-
gard to personal danger and a power OIL
endurance that is really amazing. For
thirty hours they fought and marched with
only little food aud drink which they car
ried with them. Give such men fair
chance, and nothing will stand before
them. Let our country award to them the
due need Of praise.
