PROMOTE THE DEsERvING.-Gen McCIell
an has issued an order directing the Gener-
ais OF Brigades and Divisions 10 forward 10
his headquarters the name of every nom
commissioned officer who, in the late "Sev-
en- Days Battle, may have been distin-
guished for galantry and good service on
The baule field, with view 10 immediate
promotion of The deserving. Over two
thousand names Of young and old heroes
havs been handed in, and will no doubt
soon receive deserved promotion as re-
ward for their faithful services. There are
men serving in the ranks who are far supe-
rior as soldiers 10 the political demagogues
who pretend TO command regiments in
some cases, and these should not be lost
sight OF when officers for The new levy are
TO be selected. Let US show, in this crisis
of our counuy's greatest peril, that the no.
blest of all republics was not forgetful OF the
deeds of her patriotic children, and reiure
the general charge that "Repablics are un..
grateful.

horses came down to drink. The young
men mounted several of them and had
fine frolic, Presently one OF The animals
became frighlened. and set of with his III

NEVER MIND.

What's the use of always fretting,
Al The trials We shall find
Ever strewn along our path way?
Travel on, ard "Never Mind"
Travel upward, working, hoping,
Cast no lingering glance behind
AT the trials once encountered,
Look ahead, and Never Mind"
What is past is past forever,
Let all fretiing be resigned,
1t will never help the mailer,
Do your best, and "Never Mind"
And if those who might befriend you,
Whom the ties OF Nature bind,
Should reGnse 10 do their duty,
Look 10 Heaven, and "Never Mind
Friendly words are often spoken,
When the feelings are unkind,
Take them for their real value,
Pass them by, and Never Mind"
Fate may threaten, clouds may lower,
Enemies may be combined,
If your irus, in God is steadiast,
He will help you, "Never Mind"

Gen. Mcclellan and the Army.

One OF the best answers 10 the charges
brought against Gen. MCCLELLAS by poll
liclans is to be found in the unbounded con.
fdence of the army. The officers and SOL
dieIs of the army of the Potomac, WHO have
the best opportunity OF knowing General
MCCLELLAN, are unanimous in expressing
their love and confidence for their COM
mander. From private letter written ty
all officer who participated in the six days
battle, we extract the following:
Little Mac. is more beloved than ever
in This army, and there is much bitterness
of feeling al the injustice with which they
believe he has been treated. AS it was,
their lives and limbs were risked by The
hearlless and lraitorous course OF some of
The politicians. They naturally have pretty
lively sentiments on the subject and If
you could hear The unction with which they
talk OF a rope and the necKs OF certain per-
sons, who are believed To have been active
agents in preventing his reinforcement in
proper time. you would think so too"

Our losses and Our Dead at Bull run.

! Correspondence offhe New York Tribune.
| WAsHINGToN, Sept. 7-Up TO last night not
less than 1000 of our dead at Bull Run still
lay unburied-lO00 corpses, black, swollen
and decomposed by a week Of hot suns and
beating showers. were still refused cover

and more painful, The wounded lay days
long days and long nights-among those
pu:rid cofpses, wanting care for their
wounds, wanting food, wanting water, call.
ing in faint voices TO occasional passers by
friend or foe, for help, and receiving none.
These are facts, disgraceful as they are
stubborn. Last night, new regiment from
Pennsy lvania marched under a flag OF truce
upon The battlefield for burial daty. Sur
geons and party of nurses from this city
have been there since Monday attending 10
the wounded-an insufficient party OF but
ten or fifteen men. whose utmost exertions
but sufficed 10 reach and partially relieve
the host of the wounded on the seventh
day.
Although under flag OF truce, our parties
were permitted to go and come al pleasure.
All this arduous work, which should have
been done in day, was devolved upon
those few humane surgeons and nurses
Although our authorities must have known
that the dead still remained on the field an
entire week passed before adequate means
we're taken to hide in the earth the revolt
ing spectacle. Somewhere there has been
gross neglect OF duty.
The party who were upon the field the
entire week gathered and sent to Centre
vile and on 10 Alexandria over 1900 wound
ed 925 were sent from the field on Friday
aud Saturday, all OF whom had lain where
they feli three or four days before succor
came. The search for The poor wrelches
presented the most heaItrending scenes
My informant says, as he approached the
poor lads, they would look eagerly at him.,
and in tones of touching impunty say !:
"Doc,or, come TO me you look like good
man Doctor, for Gods sake, come 10 me ~
He says, in one small clearing, and in the
edges Of the woods aroond and along the
excavations for an unfinished railroad
where had been some OF the heaviest work
of Friday Schurz, and Kearney, and Ste
vens fought, lay ridges of mangled bodies
where they fell, the blue clad corpses of our
dead soldiers,and among them were wound
ed men, still uncared for, some of them dy-
ing. Some of the gentlemen who were on
the field Tell US that for some time they
were so overcome by the unpleasant sighls
and smells that reached their senses, that
they could not sci themselves about their
benevolent labors.
The surgeons had provided themselves
with food, lint and bandages before leaving
Washingion-hence were enabled to do
justice TO each case when reached. The
slightly wounded had been paroled and
sent within our lines some days previously.
The cases which remained were, conse-
quently, of most serious nature.
There remain now upon the field, in care
OF DR.. Coolidge and assistants, $50 who can.
not be removed.
The losses during the week of battles in
killed and wounded will sum up not far
from 10 600.
