A BATTLE ON THE 0CC0QUAN,
LAST NIGHT.
A DETACHMENT OF THE NEW YORK
THIRTY-sEvENTH SURPRISE A DE-
TACHMENT OF TEXAS RANGERS.
THE REBELS FIGHT UNTIL ALL BUT
ONE ARE KILLED!

This morning, the dispatch that will be found
below, from Gen. Heinizleman, was received at
the headquarters of the Army Of the Potomac
here. 1t tells Of the most desperate and bloody
engagement that has so far marked the history of
the war, in which both parties, too, stood up with
equally-unfInching courage; but one Of the
whole rebel detachment falling to sacrifice his
life In the affair:
[Per Telegram from Fort Lyon.l
Gen. Seth Williams, Assistant AdjHtaat Cen
sraI, &C.: Last night force of fifty men of the
37ih New York, under Lieut.. Col Burke, (sent
out by Gen. Hientzleman,) surprised the enemy's
Texas Rangers" at Mrs. Lees house, at the
head of Belmont, or occoquan bay. The rebel
force was about thirty men, and they fought until
all but one was killed, whom Col Burke took
prisoner.
Our loss was one killed and four wounded He
thinks that none escaped, as the house was sur
rounded. S.P. HEINTzLRMAN,
Brigadier General Commanding.

THE REPORT OF THE POTTER INVESTIGATING
CONMIrrEz.-This document, which has just
been published, Is creating quite a commotion In
our midst, arraigning, as Il does, many citizens
Of Washington, among others, who protest their
loyalty TO the cause Of the United States as In
volved In the current war.
While II demonstrates to the satisfaction Of all
fair men, we take 1t, that there surely must be
much disloyalty among some employed by the
Government, that should be rooted out, 1t no less
clearly proves that portion Of the testimony re-
He'd on by the committee In framing their bills Of
Indictment against individuals, Is Of parties no.
toriously the personal enemies Of those they seek
to arrsign; and I'm some cases Of persons whose
testimony In open court would not be regarded
by any jury Of their fellow citizens, as being
worth straw. In all cases the testimony has been
ez pdrfc; no accused person having been permitted
to be heard directly even indirectly in his own
defence, and no pains seems to have been taken
by the committee 10 ASCERTAIN the animus Of wit
nesses in volunteering their testimony.
This fact accounts for the declension of the FIX
ecutive officers Of the Government In many cases
to act upon the committees representations con-
corning persons accused by 1t. On permitting
them to be heard, they have produced testimony
overbalancing that secretly produced against
them.
Nevertheless, we regard the report as demon
strating the necessity for Kidding the public ser
vice Of all who are not heartily loyal, and at the
same time for hereafter guarding against the pos
sihilty Of doing injustice to individuals through
star chamber trials, in which the accused are
wholly deprived Of the RICH Of self-defence.
The cause Of the Union requires a resort to no
such practice as permanent American ''institu-
lion"

GRIZZLY LAMENTs.-The New York Tribune
continues its brief but touching lamentations
the recent orders Of sundry general officers Of the
army Of the Potomac, putting stop to the scheme
OF abolition electioneering in the Union camps,
under The pretense Of giving free concerts by the
HutchlnEon family. 1t Of course sees in 1t the
persistent determination Of the regular army off,
GERS to wage the war for the benefit OF slavery
and all that sort Of thing.
To people Of common sense, however, itappears
In very different light. II the camps Of the
Union army are to be turned into arenas for po-
Htcsl electionesring and pow-wowing, one party
has a. much right to avail themselves Of the op-
portunity to make capital out Of the Governments
collection Of men In masses convenient to be thus
approached, as another. The result would be
the Immediate and entire Decentralization of the
service; to which the Generals in question are of
: course opposed. Hence their refusal to permit
any party to come into their camps and destroy
discipline.
In the case In point, II was fortunate that the
abolition powwowing Of the Hutchinson cleo
pioneering scheme in the camps was thus sum-
marily stopped; insomuch as from the start Il
bade fair to generate naturalization, rows, &c
three-fourths Of the men upon whom Il was es-
sAyed, having made 1t the occasion for violently
exhibiting their distaste to aboltionism in that or
any other guise.

SUI rED5To THE TIMES.

Now that we are in the mlst of war, our
people are in doubt what the financial effect
will be upon us as individuals. 1t does seem
that the west must in measure prosper.
We must feed the army, and our products
will be bought and paid for then again, the
soldiers who are fighting our battles will re-
ceive liberal pay, and their families will have
money, perhaps, in majority of instances,
more plentifully than heretofore this money
will be circulated. Under these and other
circumstances, it appears to us, we shall not,
at least, all be ruined. Yet we must make
the money we get go the farthest it will. II
we can buy, for $50, as good and serviceable
an article as we can for $50 or S75, why we
must not neglect to do So We have a case
in point: Elliot's ImproocI Pearl SEQ
ing Machine, sold for $50, we believe to be
as reliable and as scrviccable as any $50 or
S75 machine in the market. word to the
wise being sufficient, we refer our readers to
