Sergeant, will you come and look
at this mans pass called out sen
try at the Long, Bridge, the other day
do you think I'm going to shout my.
self hoarse tor you ? ....-
And when the sergeant did arrive
the sentry who had been sitting down
when l came up, used bad language
and threatened to report him
Yesterday evening, as I was riding
through Georgetown, l saw an officer
fall in his men to go on some patrol
or relief. They We're drawn up by
the side of the street.

said the officer to one Of his men.
Whisky
Let's have a drain quoth the af-
fable subaltern.
Don't take it all, them responded
the proprietor, producing from his
haversack the black bottle, which had
been detected by the eagle eye of his
superior.
The officer held it up to the light,
guaged the contents, smelt the mouth,
and then took long pull, which was
followed by a sounding smack Of the
lips and Il :tust-rate' Of great inteu-
Sitv.
The bottle was restored, and then
Shoulder arms-by the right-wheel

1t would be very unfair to assert
that such officers are common, and
such practices usual; but that there
is on questions of discipline an eN-
traordinary deviation in principle,
sentiment and practice in the Ameri-
can people from those of any other

see Col. Richardson. in an official
document respecting the conduct of
his troops at Manassas, accusing his
senior officer. Col. Miles in reply,
publishing statement which appears

says he was not drunk, and pravs

The Expected Battle.-The Wash

The city to-day has been filed
with excitement. At sunset last even
ing the impression was general that
this mornings sun would rise upon
battlefield on the Potomac, where
the two great armies, for so many.
weeks gradually approaching each
other, would be met in the thunder
ing shock that would conyulse the
whole country, and decide the result
Of the contest between the Govern
ment and the rebels.
That attack was confidently ~ex-'
pected to-day. Il has probably been
prevented only by the heavy rain that
began this morning and has lasted
nearly all day. It cannot be mueh
longer delayed, and will probably be
begun with to-morow's dawn. H.
would be absolute folly for the enc
my to make serious attack upon our
front, defended as it is by chain I
Of fortications, and more than hun
dred guns, so placed that their fire
can be directed upon any one point

to slavish obedience to the commands O
Abraham Lincoln and promises to call on
as many troops to help in the "su jugatio

In Justice to Mr. Mcconnell we will say that
he is worthy of the support of overy seces-

not give him any Union support Before he
was nominated for Govirnor, he was in this
city and stated his position thus:
"Elevatng the forefnger of his right

it, first to the right and then to the left. and
accompanied the gesture with nearly the fol-
loving words: 81 STAND JUST THAI

Now he pledges himself to obey Abraham
