ALEXANDRIA, Va, Sunday, Sept Z, 1862.
Alsxandris to-day presents . very different
appearance from that which is presented last
Sunday. One short week has made great
change oAweek ago to day this city was the
great absorbing point Of interest All eyes
were turned toward il and many of them pain
fully. All news furnished from here was looked
for and read with deep interest Our great ar
mics had not then fallen back beyond Center
vile, and vast reinforcements were moving up to
their assistance, every ono predicted that Jack
con and his, 'forty thousand" were in . tight
place, and that he would be surely bagged if not
utterly anDihilated. If any one predicted that
the ''forty thousand" would drive back our grand
armies who must have numbered over one hun
dred thousand men, to their Entertainments and
Notifications before Washington, who would be-
lieve himl And yet this is exactly what has
happened, and why! Because 'some one had
blundered." One of the greatest military blum
ders believe that ever happened was that of
which the poet sings about the "five hundred,
but the future poet will have to sing of greater
blunder about the hundred thousand" who,
under the command of Pope, gave way before
Jsckson's "forty thousand"
Every soldier believes that We had more troops
tnan the rebels; every soldier believes our men
fought better; but every soldier knows that it
was not they who lost the battle, but the incom.
petent commanders who had our troops scatter
ed and in long narrow lines aud not within sup
porting distance of each other, instead of mass
ing them as Jackson had massed his troops, and
bringing mass sgainst mass, when the SUPERIOR.
ty Of our men would soon show itself by routing
the rebela But every one knows that when q
solid mass Of troops engage detached lines, VIC
tory must in most cases be theirs.

Special Cerrespoadeaes Of the N. 7. Tribune
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4, 1862.
From an officer of high rank in Gen. Sigels
army, who has just arrived here wounded,
gather the following facts, which seem to me
important enough to repeat a.,.
The first fact is that Sigel, on Tuesday, the
26th Of August, gave notice to Gen. Pope that
the advance guard Of the enemy had passed
through Thoroughfars Gap, and that the main
body of the army Was ct White Plains and Sa-
lem-his rear at Orleans. This was the frst
authentic information received BY Pope, snd by
the Information the army was saved
The second fact 10 that Gen. Sigel did all
within mis- power to induce Gen. Pope to change
his front, in order to throw bis whole force from
Warrenton, Greenwich, and Warrenton juno
ton to Gainesville, for the purpose Of breaking
the enemys lines, which moved in half circle
to Manassas, and to attack jackson in the rear.
Pope adopted this maneuver, and Jackson would
have been lost the different commanders had
acted promptly in conjuction. 80 1fe %
The third fact 10 thst Sigel engaged the enc
my, consisting of the corps Of jackson, Ewell
and Hill. for eight hours, and that the battle,
90 says Sigsl bimself, would have been won II
Mcdowell bad at noon attacked the enemy on
tic left, and Porter on the right But Mellow
oil appeared at St o'clock p. m, in front, and
Porter did not take part in the fight at all Aud
even ON the next day these corps did not per-
form the requested movements Pope delayed
his attack till 8 o'clock in the afternoon, and
this defay gave the enemy time 70 throw hi,
main force from his left wing to the right. OF
this movement Gen. Pope was informed BY Gen.
Sigel, who had anticipated IN attack from that
side, and Who had sent the Alb New York Cav
airy on reconnaissance.
These facts ore important am given TO un-
dsntand that they can be substantiated Il con-

SCIENTIFIC PARADoxEs The water which
browns us. as fluent stream, can be walked
upon as ice The bullet which, when fred from
gun, carries death, will be harmeless when
ground to dust, before being fired. The crys-
talized part Of the oil of roses, so grateful in
its fragrance-a solid at ordinary tempera-
lures, though readily volatiIe-is a compound
substance, containing exactly the same ele-
ments, and in exactly the same proportions as
the gas with which We light our streets. The
tea which we daily drink with benefit and plea
sure, produces pa!patation nervous trembling
and ever paralysis, if taken in excess yet the
purely organic element called thiene to which
tea owes its qualities, may be taken by itself
without any apprecia5le effect. The water
which alays our burning thirst, augments it
when CONCEALED into snow so that Capt Ross
declares the natives of the Arctic regions pre-.
fer enduring the utmost extremity of thirst
rather than attempt to remove it by eating
snow. Yet if the snow be melted it becomes
drinkable water Nevertheless although ii
melted before entering the mouth, it assuages
the thirst like other water, when melted in the
mouth it has the opposite effect. To render
this paradox more striking, we have only tc
remember that ice which mets more slowly
in the mouth, is very inefficient for .allayine
.he thirst.

merits of this implement in the following man
ner ::

Is it because they are not disposed to bestow
the extra amount of labor involved in rolling
their fields, or is it because they do not under
stand its use and beue6ts Do they not know
that roller is almost Indispensable on light
soils, because it presses the earth closer around
small seeds-that it is equally useful on heavy
soils, because it crusbes the clods, aud brings
Che pulverized earth in direct contact with the
