The Rebel Loss at Bull Run.

From the Louisville Journal
The Richmond Dsspatch, in narrating
the achievements of the Sth Georgia regi-
ment at the battle OF Bull Run, closes a
graphic account OF their valorOus conduct
under the fire of the Federal troops as fol-
lows: cat length they withdrew from the
fight Their final rally Was with some sixty
men OF the six hundred they took IN. Bal
akiava tells DO more heroic tale than this
Into the valley of death marched the six
hundred. AS they retired, they passed
Gen. BE uregard He drew aside, lronted,
raised his hat, and said Il salute the 9Th
Georgia with my hat off, "After the re-
tirement OF this remnant OF the 9th regiment,
the Despatch goes on to tell how the Ge0r-
gia It'll was brought up to sustain the posi-
ton they bad occupied, and how bravely
they fought, but they were slaughtered very
much in the same manner, the; Colonel
(Bartow) being killed immedis~ - upon
taking position. These detailed cunts
of the losses sustained by each ..giment
show much greater loss Of the rebels than
the papers which publish them have ever
been willing to admit in the aggregate.
Here are over five hundred Georgians ad,
mitted to have been killed, while the Louis.
ianians claim to have lost over three hum
dred, and the South Carolina Legion, whose
Colonel was wounded, and their Lieutenant
Colonel killed, are officially reported to have
been completely cut up" and to have had
more than two hundred killed and wounded.
The North Carolina regiment lost one hun"
dred and ten men, and every other regiment
suffered more or less and yet the rebel au-
thorities claim that their loss was less than
that OF the Union army.

the crews of five merchant vessels recently
captured by the Southern pirates, and ia

men after being taken were placed in irons
and treated rather roughly by the pirates ;
but they state that the citizens of Beaufort
acted kindly towards them. One of the
Captains had five hundred dollars IN gold
taken from his pockets, and thermometer
also taken away; others had a greater por,
ton OF their money and watches taken.
The returned men repor; that every
male person which they met in Beaufort
was in uniform, they not seeing man in

off their prisoners, remarked to them, Tell

Northeast Missouri.

We are grstifed in being able to state
that the difficulties which have heretofore
existed in Northeast Missouri-aIoDg the
line of the North Missouri and Hannibal
and st. Joseph Railroads.&c. rapidly be-
ing quoted. The people OF Marion county
have undertaken to put down any excuses
in that county, with every prospect OF eff
fecting permanent peace. 1t is not ap-
pretended now, that any further attempts
will be made to destroy the Hannibal and
ST. Joseph road, or to fire upon passenger
trains. In the counties of Lewis, Clark,
Adair and Scotland, heretofore much excl
ted by divisions between secessiOnists and
Union men, there is probability of the
early restoration of quiet. A great mum.
Der of secessioDiss have already left those
counties, and it is believed that, by judi
cious measures, an era of good feeling may
be introduced among those who remain.
There ought to be no difference OF opinion
among the people of those counties /; and
our earnest wish is, that they may be sue
cessful in restoring harmony to that section
of Missouri.-&. Louis Republican, 10Th.

John Nj. Glover furnishes additional

particulars of the fight on the bank OF Fa>
bus River, to the Quincy Wing. The reb.
els lost forty men killed, and something over
eighty wounded. The Union forces had
marched thirty miles to meet the rebels,
and came upon them unexpectedly, they
being secreted in ambush. The>6re of the
traitors was too high, both from their can
non and small arms. The Union loss was,
as stated, but one man killed.

Ill now, the defeated party has acquies-
ced the announcement Of the result has
been the signal for a cessation Of hostili.
ties. and all the departments of the gov
eminent have moved on in their accus-
toned regularity. What has caused the
difference now +? We know very well
that the cry is raised that g sectional )"
victory has been gained, and that the
rights of the South have been denied
them, but is there any truth in such
statements :? None at all. The rea!
ground of the difficulty at present, is that
the minority will not suffer the majority
to rule. They have lost the control OF
the government, which they have had
almost uninterruptedly since its founda-
ton, and forthwith they declare them
selves out of the Union. AS natural
consequence, panic ensues-the stability
and certainty of pecaniary affairs are
broken up, and a loss, is Of course sus-
tanned. But whose fault is it? Is it
the fault of those who exercised the sa-
sacred right of suffrage, as prescribed by
the laws of the land ? Certainly not,
for that rights as dear, and as strongly
guaranteed by the Constitution as any
other. The Herald's correspondent ad
mits that no one could reasonably expect
that President, no matter by whom
elected, or upon what platform, could be
otherwise, in practice, than conservative
He must take solemn oath to preserve
and defend the Constitution. He must
take care that all the laws are faithfully
executed, whether they bear hard upon
abolitionists or secessionists, and regard
less of their appropriately in either sec
ton. 1t has never been commended thai
Mr.. Lincoln would do otherwise.
How mean and contemplate it is, then &c
charge the loss to the country, whatever
it is, upon The Republicans! They are
in no way responsible. They have in
iured no man, nor have they sought to
do so. They have asserted great prin-
ciple in reference to the slavery question
aud have succeeded in organizing the
government upon that basis. In doing
so, they have deprived no man of his
Just rights, nor will they. The slave
holder and the slave interest will have
all the rights which the Constitution
gives them, just as they have always
had-no more and no less. And when
ever the Democracy will point to one
act of Lincoln's administration, which is
in opposition to the letter or the true
spirit Of that instrument, then we viii
join them in condemnlng 1t most hearti.
ly-bul until then, we shall contend
that the responsibility be fastened where
ii belongs-upon the secessionists OF the
South, with their allies of the North.
