The Abuse orour state omcer..

The people of this age are prone to fault
6uding. And the acts of public officers
particularly are subject to this unlimited
censorship. In most cases this abuse Of
officers for corruption and direliction of do
ty is properly applied but there are some
honorable exceptions. The wholesale de-
nunciation of Gov. Yates and our State
officers, by the press, Republican as we'll as
Democratic, for the last mouth, we think,
is undese.ved. As far as we can learn,
our State officers, for the last four or five
weeks, have applied themselves unceasiDg.
ly to the task of relieving the State from
Its financial embarrassmen:s. They have
doubtless done their best to meet the de-
mands upon the treasury and to provide the
necessary funds for the exegincies of the
occasion. They have numerous difficulties
to encounter and shou Id not be condemned
too hastily.

Rebel Accounts Of the Battle
Near Manassas.
LouisyilIe. Jnlv DC

Louisville, July &c.
A special Richmond dispatch to the
Charleston Mercury on the 23d says: 'As
soon as it became evident that the enemy
meant to give battle, Davis FASTENED to the
scene Of action, arriving in time to take
part in the battle, and Immediately assum
cd command Of the centre. Beauregard
commanded the right wing. and Johnston
the left. 1t was against Johnston's COM
mand that the enemy concentrated their
best troops, and fought most obstinately.-
At one time our left was pressed 90 severe.
ly that the issue Of the conflict in that d.
rection seemed doubtful. twas here that
Bartnn's Georgia Regiment vas posted
which was so terribly cut up. A large
body of our troops from the centre was
sent at this critical moment to the assis-
tahce of Johnston, and turned the tide of
battle. The enemy broke and fed before
the impetuous charges of the southerners,
and the battle soon became rout."
The latest from Richmond, 22d, saws
Congress met at noon, and, after PRAYER
had been offered, the following dispatch
was read before that body:
Manassas junction, sunday night.
Inc night has closed upon hard fought
Geld. o.
Our forces Won a glorious victory. The
enemy was routed, and fed precipitately,
abandoning large amount of arms, am
munition, knapsacks and baggage
The ground is strewr for miles with
those killed. and farm houses aud grounds
around are filed with the wounded.
Pursuit was continued along several
routes towards Leesburg and Centreville,
until darkness covered the fugitives.
We have captured several field batteries
and regimental stands arms, and one Unit
ed States flag. Many prisoners have been
: taken.
Too high praise cannot be bestowed,
whether for the sKill of the principal eff
GERS, or for the gallantry of all our troops.
The battle was mainly fought on our left.
Our force was Is, 900, that of the enemy is
estimated at So 900.
Signed, JEFF. DAVIS"
Another dispatch says the entire Confed-
crate force was about 40 600, and the Unit
ed States force near $4,000. No particu-
lars are received of the dead and wound.

Lovejoy and his New Enemies,

The more moderate Republicans are very
severe in the denunciation Of Mr. Lovejoy,
for the introduction Of the irrepressible ne
groe into the special session of Congress-
His resolution in regard to the fugitive
slaves has stir ed up hornets nest; and
these moderate Republicans outstrip the
Democrats in their excavations of the SEN
timents advanced by the indomitable Love
Joy Indeed, to hear them talk, one would
suppose they had never voted for an Abo>
litionist in their lives. We have heard
some of them 20 so far as to wish that one
Of the shots from the rebel cannon had
struck him when he was a spectator at the
battle of Bulls Run, the other day.
Now, we protest against this. Owen is
entitled to better usage from his former
friends. He stands unfinchingly by the Re
publican platform. And though he is 4
radical Abolitionist, hs has done nothing
that the Republican majority in Congress
dare repudiate. His Abolition resolutions
received the votes of great majority Of
the Republican members, and one of them
was passed by strict party vote.
In view of these facts, We cannot ac-
count for the abuse of Loveioy by the Re-
puhlicaps. Ii il be true that they are
really opposed to his political sentiments
why do they suffer themselves to be used
as tools by such men as he isl Why is i,
thar Lnveiny and Sumner. and Hale. and
Pomerpy, aud Jim Lane, and such like rule
the Republican partyi
These very men who are so extravaganza
in their abuse of LovejOy. are equally as
responsible as he is for the existence of ouI
| appalling national troubles. For the las
eight years they have voted the same tick
ct with him, and swore by the same plat
form. Notwithstanding his whole soul has
been wrapped up in the negr the Repub.
leans of this Congressional district have
thrice elected him over true Democrats
They have kept him in Congress against
the appeals of the friends of the constitu,
tion-and supported all his infamous prop
ositions, by the vote of their party leaders
1t is supremely ridiculous to hear Re-
publicans abusing Lovejoy and men of biz
type. They dare not break loose from him
or his pernicious doctrines, yet pitch int
him with ferocity seldom seen. They
are afraid that the Republican party will
go by the board if they discard Lovejoy
When election comes around again they
will be all Lovejoy men.

The Speed of LoYefoy.

1t is said that our Congressman did some
tall running from Bulls Run the other

he did towards Washington after the great

left this camp about week ago returned,
after Remembering in the vicinity of Gen.
Watkins camp and ascertaining the num-
Der of men under his command, which
amounts to l,500, armed with old rifles and
shot guns, with no discipline or drill.
Yesterday evening three companies left
here to attack detachment of the enemy's

about IS miles from here in town named
Dallas. The detachment from this camp
are under command of Capt Bartleson of
your city. They took five days rations.
Day before yesterday, Col Marsh of this
regiment, sliced on the steamer Memphis,
bound for Carlo, some 5000 worth of medi-
cines belonging to Mr.. Kelly. of the firm
of Garnhart & Kelly of ST. Louis, destined
tor the Southern army. The goods were
secreted in trunks and valises. Kelly was
arrested and released on his parole This
system OF smuggling was carried on to
great extent until we came hero and began
to search the steamers, since then they are

ed. to leave the camp unless under the
greatest necessity. None of the inhabitants
are allowed to leave unless with a pass
from Headquarters. Five companies have
left to skirmish with the enemy. Orders
have been issued to the Home Guards to be
ready to rally around the camp at a mo
ments notice. There are about 1000
Home Guards in this city and vicinity.

To day we heard of the retreat Of the
Federal forces at Manassas junction. One
haif OF the men would MT believe it. while
the other half were for vengeance. fit is
true 1t is indeed sad news. But we must
not always expect success. Reverses will
occur but in the end victory will crown
our efforts.
