The Likes and Disiikss OF Military Lead
ers.--Thsir Effect upon the Result Of
Campaigns'
In Gen. Milroy's report of August 30, to
Gen. Sigel, of operations at the last battles Of
Bull Run, we ind the following:
"At one time, not receiving assistance from
the rear, as | had right to expect after having
sent for II, and our struggling battalions being
nearly overcome by the weight and persistence
of the snsmy's attack, flew back about half
mile to where understood Gen. Mcdowell was
with large part of his corps. ! found him,
aud appealed to him in the most earnest man
ner to send n brigade forward at once TO save
the day, or all would be lost. He answered
Coldly, in substance, that It was not his busi
ness to help every body, and he was not going
to help Gen. Sigel. told him that was not
fighting with Con. Sigel's corps; that my brig
ads had got out of ammunition some time be.
fore and gone TO the rear, and that had been
fpbting with half dozen different brigades,
and that had not inquired where or to what
particular corps they belonged. He inquired
of one of his aids II Gen. - was fighting over
there on the left. His aid he thought ho was.
Mcdowell replied that he would soon help him,
for he WAS good fellow"
These particular statements may admit Of
some explanation and qualification, but the
public believe that the second Bull Run disas-
ter is attrlb to quarrels among our general
officers. If they had all desired the success of
Gen. Pope, be would have been victorious 10
stead Of being defeated. '

Fanckon-Cricket-MagRis.

The military and sanitary necessities Of the
Government, sequens Of this unholy rebellion
and fraternal warfare, have brought about the
appropriation by the Government of nearly
every church and place Of public Sunday wor-
ship In the FEDERAL capital for hospital uses
Thus are our people deprived Of their needed
moral and spiritual pabulum. But he who
wrote not for an age, but for all time, has said
that there are " sermons in stones, books In the
running brooks, and good ineverylhng." in So,
too. II any Of our good people require moral
teaching, let them visit the church In Tenth
street, under the charge Of one Master Ford,
where he Or she can nightly hear goodly les
son from the mosL eloquent lips OF the most
fascinating preacher Of the day, vsriously sy yled,
Fanchon, Cricket, Maggie. We caunot pretend
to give even synopsis Of the nightly discourse,
full, complete and saluiary as It is, nor detail
the lessons 1t teaches; though We may be par
doned, perhaps, for giving one OF two sentences
to prove its moral and even religious tone and
character: "Hs only is an honorable man, who
keeps his word" Prayer Of pure maiden,
to the Holy Mother Of Grace; so long as wear
this prayer upon and feel it in my heart, Hsa-
ven knows who am. and that is enough for
me" "He is IN obedent son; and be who
honors his parents, will ever honor bis wife.
Who has ever seen him gamble or drink :"
" Do not oiier me money; do not sell my heart
for gold. You think worse of us poor people
than your conscience will admit" The dis
course under consideration abounds in good
sayings, which come trippngly from the elo-
quent tongue Of Fanchon, who has most compe.
tent and able assistant eyhorters in the persons
of Landry and Father Barbeaud, without " hose
aid, indeed, Fanchon would not be able to get
on half so swiulmngly as now. Master Ford
has much cause for praise and Thanksgiving,
that he has been able TO secure for nightly ser.
vices in his temple, u preacher 80 popular as
Fanchon; for even the aisles are filled with de-
voted, rapt and rernuuerating listeners. Vive
10 Fauchon, vivieux!

The STORES CAPTURED AT BRIsTow STATION
We are satisfied, upon inquiry. that the amount
Of stores left undestroysd at Bristow Station,
when Gen. Banks rstrsatsd from 1t to Centre
vile, has been greatly exaggerated. Muchthe
largest portion of the stores were brought away
safely by Gen. Banks among other things, one
hundred and sixty light wagons loads Of am
munition. He ordered the burning of long
train Of freight cars, but, with characteristic
humanity, he directed that few cars, immedi
ately near rebel hospital, should not be burn
ed, lest the hospital might be thereby fired. Ol
these cars, which we're spared for this reason, a
large portion Of the contents were taken away
by our troops, and the amount falling into the
hands Of the enemy was small. The destruc-
tlon OF the locomotives attached to this train
which Gen. Banks ordered, was not executed
so thoroughly az it ought to have been.

THE POsITION, MILITARY AND PO'
LITICAL.


The later reports from the Upper Potomac
are to the effect that only a small portion Of
our army has crossed the river at Harper
Ferry. The remainder are in heir old posi-.
ton, near Sharpsburg. Eartlworks have
been thrown up, commanding tie ford there,
and eiiectually preventing the recrossing of
the enemy at that point. He SENS to be in
force Immediately on the south bank of the
Potomac there, and yet it seems to be the i'm
preston that the larger part of his army is
withdrawn to Winchester, for tn, greater con-
venience of subsistence We shall find out,
with certainty, where he is, wher we advance
upon him.
The reports from Kentucky Indicate that
those who got up the panic about an at
tack upon Louisville are beginning to be
ashamed Of it, 1t is admitted that the i'm
mejiately preceding panic abou, Cincinnati
was sheer humbug. What new alarms may
be started there, it is impossible to foresee.
The best way to put an end to them, is for
our generals to drive the rebels olt of Ken.
tucky altogether. They have srperabund.
ance Of soldiers wherewith to accomplish that
object, if they will only set about il.
The .4meriedn, at Baltimore, does not sus.
tain the Presidents proclamation, as it would
do if it truly reflected the opinions of the
loyal men of that city, instead Of political
influence in Washington, which bad staked
itself uponp preserving the institution Of slavery
intact. Two months ago, in one of the
greatest and most enthusiastic mass meetings
ever held in Baltimore, the loyal men there
unanimously demanded that the slaves of all
rebels should be made free. That was Balti
more sentiment then, and is so to-day. The
Presidents proclamation is heartily az.
proved OF III that city Why does moi
the dwsrican, which aspires to be an organ
of the Union men of Baltimore, come out
maninlly in support Of measure which these
men themselves had long ago demanded at
the hands of the President?
The .Amer,can, it is proper to say, does moi
oppose the proclamation. 1t admits that
slavery was already doomed" in Maryland
aud that in many portions of it. the negroes
are as good as free already" 1t does not ap.
prehend any mischief to its own State from
the proclamation, and if the cotton State
rebels suffer by it, the american thinks they
only get their deserts. All this is very well
said, but the public would like little more
decided support of the policy OF Congress
and OF the President, at this crisis.

From Havana and Mexico.

New YORK, Sept. 27.-The steamer Phlladel.
phia, from New Orleans on the 18th, via Hs-
vans on the 20th, has arrived.
New Orleans was quiet and healthy.
BY the steamer Mexico, which left Vera Cruz
on the l1th instant, we learn that Admiral
Jaurrein had arrived in the iron-clad frigate
Normandie at Sacri6cios on the 4th.
The vomito was making dreadful havoc ct
Vera Cruz, and the crew Of the French veesels
were suffering severely. Many physicians had
died, and only two were left In the whole aset
General Ferry was expected to arrive on the
goth.
Great anxiety was felt for q convoy with
100000 for the payment Of the French
troops at Orizaba, which had not arrived,
though ten days overdue. Ths authorities at
Vera Cruz had given out that it was stuck In
the mud, and that q river on the route was
swollen TO such an extent % to be unfordsble.
It was presumed by we'll informed persons In
Vera Cruz that the guerillss had captured the
convoy and the specie 1t conveyed, as they
knew Of its departure.
1t was currently reported that the French
were about to attack Jalaps.
No yellow fever Of consequs snce prevailed at

: The LOYAL GovERNoRs.-A good deal Of
gossip about the action Of the loyal Governors
at Altoona, is disposed OF by the following par.
agrsph in the New York Post Of Saturday
evening:
THE statement that Governor Andrew was
asked TO modify the letter to the President
which he drew up at the request of the con.
ventiOn Of Governors, is false. He drew up the
letter at the desire of the other Governors, and
It was at once signed by all but Governor Brad.
ford, who may yet sign 1t. Itwas not changed
or modified In any way and WAS signed by the
Democratic Governors hrst OF ALL"
The cue OF the clique now is to hold these
Northern Governors responsible for the non
destruction Of General Lees army, by alleging
falsely that they are holding back troops. +

"Ths Ma,ks Of . KevoIution.ry Period

The IateLliigsncer of Saturday last has some
criticism on the London Times perversions
and Misrepresentation of our Revolutionary
period
To show that the Iimss is peivsrss and at
fault in its miserable diatribes upon American
affairs, 1t inquiries:
"Under what Administration has the Presi.

From the Baltimore American Of Saturday evening.
We this morning couversed with a gentlem man
who left Harper's Ferry at five o'clock last
evening, who reports one OF the pontVon
bridges up and another in the course OF con-
struction, whilst large force is engaged on
the railroad bridge.
A large force Of cavalry and artillery, num-
bering over five thousand men, under command
Of General Sumner, started on areconn noissancs
from harpers Ferry at three O'Clock, on Friday
afternoon, towards Charlsstown. A mile from
the Ferry they started up picket OF one hun
dred and fifty rebel cavalry, captured some of
them and were In pursuit Of the balance. At
five o'clock in the afternoon cannonadipg was
heard in the direction of Charlestown, but no
intelligence had been received at the Ferry Us
TO the result Of the reconnaissance, which was
intended to feel the position of the enemy up
towards Shepherdstown and Msrtinsburg.
We also had the pleasure Of On interview
this morning with Captain Prime. Of the New

Maine Fills Both Quotas.

PORTLAND. Me-, Sept. T.-It appears from
authentic official statements that Maine has
filed her entire quotas under both calls for
three hundred thousand men. Her quota
under the first was seven thousand, and all the
men have been In the field for four weeks past.
Under the last call for drafted men, Maine hsa
nine thousand men ready, all raised by volun.
teering. and they have all been in the camps At
Portland, Augusta, and Bangor since the 18th
Instant. They are all ready to move the mo-
ment they are uniformed ana equipped.
PrioOto these contributions Maine had sent
over eighteen thousand mel, and, including the
four thousand seamen she has given to the
navy, she has raised forty thousand men for
the Union. The total population Of Maine Is
six hundred and twenty eight thousand. She
claims the proud presminsncs OF being the
Banner State in raising volunteers. She sends
no drafted men to the war.
