The Battle at Cedar Mounsa in-- w as

The Washington correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Press writes as follows:

tice a great difference between the official
report OF General Pope and the letters of
army correspondents. happen to know
that there were but three reporters actually
present at that battle, and many of the
especial reports" published were written by
persons stationed somewhere between WASH
ington and Culpepper. These reporters
picked up their statements from stragglers,
Just as Bull Run Russell used to 10, and
made their own additions wherever hiatus
in the account presented itself, but did the
latter without Bull Run Russell's regard

Mountain was military mistake-a fail
urea battle that should never have been
fought in the manner it was. Common
sense will tell any man that while General
Banks sacrificed two splendid brigades to
keep the enemy in check all day, Mellow
ellis men, and Sigel's men, who could feet
the artillery causing the earth to trembIe
beneath their feet, should have been REIN
orcing their fighting brethren and execu-
ting at least two flank movements upon
jackson, rendering bis crossing the Rapidan
impossible, and the capture of the whole
army probable. The fact that Jackson
was allowed to recrcss a swollen river with
o large army, leaving scarcely straggler
behind, or the moral effect of cannon shell
whistling in his rear, can never reflect credit
upon our Generals. The heroes of Slaugh-
ter's Mountain, were Banks, Geary and
Prince, and the people will remember them.
We sent the fag of truce to the enemy, asking
permission to bury our dead, and he left the
field at his leisure unmolested, with Brig

other valuable prisoners, but not until he

The following, from the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Times, will
show the reason of our not having any
truthful account of what is transporting on
the Rappahannock:
The immense enterprise of the New York
press has met with admirable and astonishing
success. When the representatives of all other
papers knew equally WELL but were restrained
from mentioning, the movements of Gen. Nc.
Clellan. the New York papers could not resist
showing the world how much they were in adj
vance Of all contemporaries, by publishing daily
accounts of the movement, commencing al
most with the very day that McClellan's ad.
vance struck their tents. 'r't* q
The result of this has been that the authori-
ties have ordered that no news whatever shall
be telegraphed which has the slightest rela.
ton to war movements. If today we should
learn that Richmond were taken, JEFF. Davis
captured, and the whole Confederacy broken
into fragments, we could not give you the in
telligence. Neither the movements of the reb
els nor of our own troops-in short, not q
word relative to war movements Of any kind
can be sent by telegraph. '2 lips5 ga
