TIE TROOPS FOR THE WAR.
Those who have enlisted for the war feel DESTROYS
Of picking their fnts and trying again. The iniu-
sion Of new blood into the military veins, and par
t;ctlarly of such blood as that of Col. Wallaces
Indiana ZOuaves, which has already bounded with
victory, the improvement in the matter Of officers,
the influence and prestige Gen. Mcclellan, and The
additions rapidly making to the service cannot tiii
soon 10 more than restore the army to its former con-
dton. Within q month its numbers may be doubled,
its organization completed and its capacity for
active operations thoroughly tested 1t ir believed
that we shall before many days resume the positions
which we held before the forward movement was
iBaugurated, and Cen. McCellan's friends are con-
fdent that within two months he will establish his
fame upon far broader basis of achievement than
that on which it now rests.
TIE ATTACK ON WASHINGTON.
As for the enemy, the hope is that he will
venture an attack. -Four days ago the result
might have been doubtful. Now it is believed
that we are more than match on the open
field. aud still more from behind our ln'rench-
meats, for any force which the Rebels can mus
ter In weighing their strength and yalor, or
tie chances Of their success in an attack upon
Us, we must not forget that in both actions at
Bal Run the forces opposed to ours, and those
which suffered most severely, were from the Gull
States, the flower Of the South. South
Carolina, Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi, and
Louisiana contiogents, who were OF the best
material at the command of Mr.. JEFF. DAVIS,
aud have been drilling for months were
forced from their positions with great slaughter
week ago. They are not left now to form
fororn hope to storm ours.

THE DISASTER.
Military men still charge the disaster Of Sun
day upon the civilians who were with the army.
Perhaps the license which allowed them passes
through the lines may have been xdudicial to
the morals of the soldiers in some Eases, Jet it
is a fact that some of them rallied the men and
stemmed the retreat when no officers were to
be seen. Senator Lane of Indiana, First Assist
ant Postmaster General KassOn, and others, have
muskets in their rooms with which they strove
TO perform this service, nassisted by those
whose duty it was TO do it.

in Philadelphia and New-York. 1t is called
''CaIifornia Regiment " because accepted as
part of the quota which that State would have
furnished, but for her great distance from the
fighting ground. 1t is pronounced one Of the
most effective regiments here.
The 9TH Massachusetts Regiment went home
this morning.
