CANDID ADMIssIoN.-Notwithst
Pope's lying dispatches to his master claiming an
immense victory, the New York "Trbune's"
special army correspondent, writing from Alex
andria, September makes the following candid
admission of ''dsastrous defeat -
The details Of the battles of Thursday, Friday
and Saturday are too heart-rending to relate and
yet nothing is to be gained by conceaIing the
truth Alexandria is vast hospital. The streets
are crowded with ambulances and barouches filled
with the dead, the dying and the wounded. Boat
load after boat load is moving off from the wharves
for Washington-train after train is leaving the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad with their bloody
freight. All day and all night the sad procession
moves. Soldiers who cannot be carried in ambu-
lances walk and limp by the side of the roads or
lie down until some friendly hand comes to their
relief The first kilograms from the first battle Of
Bull Run were favorable, and all Washington and
nearly the whole North were reoiced
Gen. Pope's dispatches received in Washington
on Saturday, the day of disastrous defeat,
filled every heart With joy. The telegraph had
hardly clicked the joyful news before hundreds
began to have presentiments that all was not we'll
with the combined armies of Virginia and the
Potomac. The roar of artillery towards evening
could be distinctly heard from the tops of the
public buildings in Washington, and began to in
dictate that the conflict was approaching the Po-
tomac-that our troops were being driven and the
battle lost. Hundreds who had been closely
listening to the cannonading all day retired at
night fully convinced that the battle was lost, and
yet but few hours had passed since the posting
Of the bulletin announcing great victory by
Gen. Pope,
Our loss has not only been great in officers and
privates killed. wounded and taken prisoners, but
the destruction of property by our own hands has
been immense. The Orange and Alexandria
Railroad has lost more than one half its rolling
stock. Two hundred and fifty new cars, heavily
laden with stores and 10 frst-class locomotives
were burned or blown up on Thursday and Friday.
BY Gen. Pope's orders, l40 cars and engines
were destroyed last Saturday to prevent them from
falling into the enemy's hands, who had crossed
the Rappahannock, and advancing upon
Bristow Station, under the immediate command
Of Gen. Lee.

FuNNY.-Brigadier General Robert Toombs of the
army has publicly denounced Major General Daniel H.
HUI, also OF the army, ga coward and liar This is
a good joke! Gen Daniel H. Hill-Bethel Hill-a
coward! Daniel H Hill, the Presbyterian Elder whose
plety has been hitherto unimpeached-a liarl And all
because the said General Hill declared that in his opin
ion Teombs chad taken the field late and left it
too early, at the battle of Malvern Hill and because
when Toombs challenged Elder Hill to fight him a
duel therefor Elder Hill replied that ''he would not
make himself party to course of conduct forbidden
alike by duty and the laws which they had both sworn
to observe"
If either of the two Generals be "coward and liar
which we will not pretend to say the public can
scarcely be at loss to decide which is the man.
Fayetteville Observer.
Wherever Gen. Hill is known, Toombs denunciaton
will be laughed at. Gen. Hill has never faltered when
on the field of battle while of his comrades were
falling by his side-he has shown that he is no cow
ard hundreds of times and it was not necessary to
fight a duel with ToOmbs anybody else to prove his
courage. If Gen. Toombs had planted large crop
of Cotton this year and had followed the noble exam
pie of thousands of farmers in trying to make bread
and meat for our army and people, the country would
have thought better of him. We hope Brig. Gen.
Toombs will turn his attention to killing Yankees and
not want to take the lives of true southern men,
