We notice that some one FROM Wheeling
has sent to the Baltimore Catholic Mirror,
a copy OF Judge Thompsons pronuncin-

pamphlet by the Hon. Judge Thompson,

that the Judge still contends that he has

We learn that intelligence, OF an
authoritative character has beenre-
ceived at Manassas, to the utter de-
mobilization of the Federal troops in
Washington, and that they are now
in open rebellion-defying both their
officers and the government. Thou
sands of those who participated IN
the "sraed retreat" from Manassas,
on the 21st., have left their regiments
and gone home, while those who rsT
main fail to pay any attention what
ever to the order almost daily issued
for their orga nization. Conflicts OF
a quite serious character have occur
red between many of the volunteer
and regular corps, and everything, 1t
is said, goes to show that the ''grand
army" which was to have marched
uninterrupted to Richmond, is now
perfectly demoralized, and that it is
impossible to infuse into it the least
vitality.

bore message to the President from

battle, in which the Southern forces

probably do more for our cause at the
