It appears now that Centeryille and

and that the enemy have not Ventured

cu,nstances, this news is about as start
ling as the intelligence Of our fatal de-
feat.
It is reported by way Of Winchester
that the rebel General Johnston was killed
in the battle, Doubtful.
Tbs rebel estimate Of their OWL loss in
killed and wounded is 5000. On cur side
the number is reduced to 1000 by the most
careful reckoning.
Col. Bu1nside's Rhode Island Battery Is
saved, and fix other guns have been Sc
cured by Col Elnstein Of the Pennsylva
nia a7dL, uAo tcent1ae1; to the field Of battle.
The gallant Col Wilcox Of the Michi-
gan 1st is !. prisoner and only slightly
wounded.
The New York Herald correspondent
alleges that The rout was the result Of 8
stampede among the teamste1s and civil
1ane, caused by cavalry charge Of the en-.
envy upon them, communicating panic
to the rear guard and reserves. Also thai
tie retreat OF the main body under Gen.

doubt not that the receipt Of the repulse
received By the Federal troops at Manassas
has awakened but one sentiment throughout
the entire North. In this place, since the first
iutelligenc was made known here, all busi-
ness waa suspezded, citizens Of all classes
gathering in knots upon the street corners
and IN all places Of public resort, hearing and
discussing the news. There is but one feel
ing. The rebellion must put down. II all
eur nrst army falls, their places shall bs filled
By tento1d their number.
Already recruiting is going on brisk1y ard
many names enrolled. 4 public meeting haa
been called and there Will be perfected az
rangements for the immediate mastering Of
new regiment Of th.tc years' naen from Lee
county. There will be little delay in the INST
ter, and q splendid regiment will be furnished.
There is ro longer any doubt as to whether
our regiments will be accepted on their ten-
dsr, and this removes at once the most se1i-
Gus recent check, and disheartening one, to
cur recruits. If the Government. will accept
and arm the regiments offered, there will be
no lack Of men, Could you see the feeling
that possesses our citizens, doubtless the
same with you, you would believe 1t no rash
pledge that the new Illinois regiment from
Lea county will within a month hence be
ready to march. Drilling has already begun
among its enlisted men. G.

TIE TWO Policies,

When the army crossed the Potomac
last May, this paper had the audacity to
say delays arc dangerous now is the
- time to push forward and occupy Mauas-
"sas Junction, and seize the mouth Of
"AQuia Greek before the rebels eau pos
"sess them, in force, and fortify themselves
t' in those important positions" To our
uunflitary judgment this course looked
like common sense and was exactly like
what Mcclellan end Lyon were doing
elsewhere. The Post, Times and
Journal said, don't move while
the enemy is 1nprepared; delays are al
ways safe. Wait until the rebels have
orean.zed andffooncentrated their strength,
and tLcn drive them from their entreach-
meu,s-the glory will be 10 much the
greater. No matter about masked batter
les: brush them aside with the bayonet,
but be enre you move a1owly:
Tie TRrprsE m guilty Of not perccivine
OF apprcciating this wonderful plan o
campaigning, and doubly guilty in no
advocating it. We preferred the mor'
comprehensive. policy Of Lyon and Nc
clellar. even II contrary to the plan Of th'
xT,u7rcl 74tas and Post.

Lay ing aside all that may be said in re-
gard to the condition and preparation of
the army which Gen. Mcdowell command
ed, to meet the rebel forces under Bcaure.
gard, this much may be safely assumed to
be true: TINT the immediate cause of the
defeat vas the failure Of Gen. Patterson to
co-operate with Mcdowell. Had he obeyed
Gen. scott's Instructions. "to engage
Jthne!on's division at whatever odds" to
follow and to harra<s his retreat, and to pre-
vent his junction with the army at Manas-
sas, and if he effected such junction, to
then attack oi1n on the flank at the same
moment that Mcdowell fought the rebels
in frent we repeat, had this been done,
the result Of the battlt would haFe been
victory instead of defeat. Who doubts
it?
Suppose Gen. Mcclellan Or Lyon had
Leen in command Of Patterson's division
Of $4,000 men, does any one believe that
he would have allowed Johnston to join
Beauregard? Would he not hare routed
that rebel column, and cut off its retreat
through Manassas Cup, and pursued its
flying fragments down the Shenandoah
Valley?
Eingle-handed, McDowelrs army had
demonstrated its superiority orer Beaure-
guards forces, il the fighting on Sunday.
The enemy were badly worsted, and on
the cvc Of signal route, when Johnston
unfortunately came suddenly upon the
field with 10000 fresh troops, which not
only powerfully reinforced the exhausted
rebels, but re-inspired them with hopes Of
triumph at the very moment their hearts
were sinking and defeat stared them in
the face.
On Gen. Pattetson's head rests the blam
Ct the defeat Of Our army.
