| WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.
| Official dispatches to Gen. Patterson will
show that the entire blame for the defeat o
our forces at Bulls Run isdue to his neglect o
positive orders He was directed, first, to ell
gage and defeat Johnston second, if unable
| to engage johnson, to get between him ant
Manassas, and prevent junction of his forces
with Beauregards third, if unable to fulfil
either of these, he was to harrass Johnston ir
front and keep him before Winchester fourth
if he could do neither of these things, he was
to make all haste to Washington and joi1
Mcdowell as soon as johnson could Join
Beauregard. 1t will be seen that Gen. Patter-
son disregarded each of these orders, and that
had he obeyed either he would have prevented
the disaster at Bulls Run, and at once have
entirely destroyed the rebellion, or removed
the seat of war beyond the confines of Vir-
gnia.
