THE NEWS.

The grand army which left Washington
last week under such favorable auspices, and
the advance of which toward Richmond in
spired such bright hopes, on the part of loyal
citizens, has been forced back to the point
from which it started, in disorganized con-
dition. This disastrous result was as unan-
tieipated as it IS inexplicable. The reports
as TO the cause of the retreat are conflicting
and unreliable, but as tho confused accounts
give place 10 more reliable details it becomes
manifest that the disaster was mich less seri.
Gus than the first reports indicated 1t is
certain that during the protracted engage
ment which preceded the retreat our troops
fought galantly. we're more than d match for
tic enemy at every point, ana to all appear
ances had achieved i splendid victory. when
some mishap rs yet not satisfactorily explain
cd threw portion OF them into confusion,
which speedily communicated 10 the whole
army, resulting in a panic and regular STAN
pede. There is every reason TO believe that
the loss of the enemy was Ear more serious
Than that on our side; and that they were Ell
ther net conscious Of the dispersion of cur
forces or not in a condition 10 make our re.
treat decisive victory on their part, is man
ifest from the fact that they did not attempt
10 follow up their advantage. The reinforce
ment of their force by the column of John
son, from Winchester, gave them the decided
advantage in point Of numbers, ard doubt
less as the cause of the fortunes OF the day
turning against US at the time when victory
was apparently accomplished and why Pat.
tcrson, who was in his immediate vicinity
with force amply sufficient to have engaged
him, should have permitted him 10 depart and
join Beaurcgard, is entirely incompreh ensible
and g.vcs rise to serious suspicious as TO the
loyalty Of that officer. The scattered army
is being rapidly collected together again and
being rcorganized, while large additions are
being made by the constant arrival Of addi-
tiol.al troops. When it again advances it
sill be in force sufficient to defy successful op,
position.
Gen. Mcclellan, having thoroughly accom-.
plished his work in Western Virginia, has
been ordered 10 Washington, to take COM
niand there, Gen. Rosecrans succeeding him
Gen. Patterson has been superseded by Gen.
Banks, and Gen. Dix succeeds the latter at
Baltimore.
A portion of the forces under Gen. Rose
Grams in Western Virginia has been detailed
TO aid Gen. Cox in the Kanaw ha Valley and
reports from Richmond are to the effect that
Gen. Lee had started with large force for
the Western part OF the State with the view
Of endeavoring to ain their lost ground in
that section.

The Haste with Which the Rebels Re-
treated from Fairfax.

Mr K ,yman'l, f Ii or of the y. Times
says;
Everything We sec here .h,5vs that ue
Il -bclr left the place in the greatest imagina-
HE hasir. Judging from the camps in the
vicinity, as well as fP' the stat :m-nts ar the
inhabitants, ;here must have been from 5000
10 5000 rebel troops here this morning. il
is said that Gen. licanFcgard was here in
person last night and lrlt word l,r the troops
" no we're commanded by Col Bonhain, to re-
tire il attacked 10y a superior E,rcc. They
arc sad to have commenced the retreat at 9
O'Clock. when onT troops were nbDut five
miie off. Why they should have gone in such
extreme haste, it is not easy TO see. The in
irrnchments thrown up a milo in advance of
the town were so hastily abandoned, that pro-
visions of every kind, rice, bacon, -four, etc.,
with blankets and clothing OF the officers,
were left behind. 1t was not very apparent
that any guns had been mounted here, though
the Engineers thought that some light guns
had been placed in position. ] saw no evi.
dcnce Of this except tb. marks of what might
have been artillery wheels, though they seem
ed 10 me quite as likely 10 have been the
wheels of wagons used to bring the sand bags
with which the embrasures were lined Ii
any were there, they were moved off With
great rapidity.
But The strongest evidence of haste was
found in the abandoned camps In that of
the Palmetto Guards, lying nearest the side
of the village at which our troops entered.
almost cyeryihing remained untouched. The
uniforms Of the officers, plates, caus, dishes
and camp equiPpage of every kind, ans i'm
menSe quantity Of excellent bacon, blankets,
ovcrcoais. etc. etc, were left behind. and the
tahlts of tie officers, spread for breakfast,
remained untouched. In a vest pocket of
one OF the officers was found gold watch
in another was roll of ten cent pieces
amounting to ten dollars LETTERS, papers.
books, and everything collected in a camp
which had been occupied foF some days, were
abandoned without the sjghtest attempt to
take them away. In another camp in field
at the extremity Of the town, occupied by
another South Carolina regiment, the same
evidences Of extreme haste were visible. I'm
opened bales Of blankets were found scarce
ly any Of the utensils of the camp had been
removed, and bags of -four and fitchss Of ba-
con we're scattered ever the ground.

The sniveling Of certain Democratic papers a
bouts 'subjugating the South is thus disposed
cfby their late Secretary of War, Holt of
Kentucky.
"It is in vain for the revolutionists to ex-
claim that this is ''subjugation. 1t is 80,
precisely in the sense in which you and and
all law abiding citizens are snhjugatcd. The
people of the South arc our brethren, and
while we obey the laws enacted by our joint
authority, and keep the compIct, we only ask
that they shah be required to do the same.
We.believe that their safety demands this; we
know that ours ioes- We impose no burdens
which we ourselves rlonOt bear; we claim no
privileges or blessings which our brethren of
the South shall not equally share. Their
country is our country, and ours is theira; and
that unity both OF country and of government
which the providence of God and the oompacts
of men have created we could not ourselves,
without self irnmolation, destroy. nor can We
permit it to be destroy ed by others .

about its probable results the crowd in some

gave way to sunshine and JOY. But at noon
came dispatches announcing disaster and as
the intelligence spread, the old crowd Of the
morning resumed their places, with new adj
