Facts and Reflections from the Battle
Field.
Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Gazette1
WASHINGTON. Senta;nbar 12fe

WASHINGTON, September !, 1862.
The gallant5y and bravery OF our entire
srNy vas worthy Of all praise They fought
20 the admiration Of their commanding OIL
GERS, and deserved victory which they had
almost won when the order OF Gen. IL :Do .el1
compelled them to leave the field. The tens
ct thousands of soldiers, whom I SAT- on S lb-
bath, rbi1e they had 4 sad aud disappointed
look, Jet not cEe with whom we talked felt or
saiu u word but what indicated. courage aud
hope Of dpal success 4 number in !: Wis
consin regiment and in other regiments,
wEen te1lIDg us Of the uneX pected result on
Saturday hight, shed tears, and affirmed tn 1t
it was a1l owing to bad generalRhip- This is
almost the universal sentiment OF our aFing,
as it is Of public sentiment here. I dare not
state what l heard many soldiers say OF the
military management Of GeD. Mcdowell oa
Saturday night, but the mildest wnrd eau use
is, that there Is in the army of CeutreYi1e
general disapproba: ion and indignation at his
c1pduct. All things, they said, indie sted
slu'lous Victory, till be ordered his division
to tall b4ck.
Can the people Of the republic keep Silence
longer at The gross mis,nanagement Of this
yer. Never in The history of nations had any
gev' rIment such nob1 army, or such ample
ineans placed at its disposal to suodue its
thenies and their y1ct Ories, as the American
govs 1nment, and never has there been su .a
b'urderlng, even gross mismanlgement, and
iicompeteDcy on the part OF cur military
officers. Il public sentiment does not declare
tfs, then ne are mistaken in what We hear
NJ d read.
Yesterday saw nearly if not quite 200 900
OF American soldiers, aud Napoleoa the Great
would have been proud to have led such an
| army. Manly and Intelligent, brare aad un-
| Gauntcd in their acts, and ready aud eager to
| be led against the enemy, and On to victory,
and yet to tee], as the army generally does,
thst they are under Incompetent Iead:rs, aud
to be sacrificed without winning victories aud
| crushing out this terrific rebellion, is sad to
them and discour9ging to the nation. These
| brave IDen feel they are Ii fyhting for the holy
eause-for the life Of the republic itself, aud
art willing to suffer aud die Tor it, but they nc
longer desire 20 be sacrificed to bad geaer4l
| ship. There is q most fearful resp ,asipility
somewhere, ard NEST awful account to be
! rendered to the American people.
In the late battles, aud especially On s Satur-
day night. the rebrls fought vita desperation
They feel that their opportunity is now OF
ntver, and hence their fer, ,1cious energy and
desperation The testimony OF all Who were
in the hattie on Saturday Is, that the en.my
about 6 o'clock, became furious and tou..at
like tigers. They msrched up within te =
3srds Of our ranks, and poured their deadly
rotlies 60 thick and fast that, to use The words

Partisan Rangers.

Capt. Chas. H. Snead, of Johnston county, has
been authorized by Maj Gen. Holmes and the Sec
retary of War to raise and organize company of
Partisan Rangers for the war. Some prefer to call
them Gueras but the law fixes the title partisan
Rangers" and we like it better. Our people are
neither Spaniards mixed bloods, but of the old
revolutionary stock of Anglo-Saxons, who triumph
ed against fearful odds over the British lion. Let
,onr good riders and brave men rally to Capt snead.
If we do not mistake the man, he will make good
leader.
The Rangers are entitled to the same pay as other
soldiers in the army, and as an additional stimulus
to great daring and bravery they are entitled to the
"spoils" captured, !. e., the government will pay
them extra for all arms horses and equipage which
they may capture. Wehave no objection to apply
ing the party axiom "to the victors belong the
spos,' in the case of our Rangers, but as this IS
no time Cor partyism or demagogueism, we detest
the principle as applied by the administrators Of
public affairs, by which many of the wsest safest
and most reliable men Of the country are set aside
as unworthy Of confidence. ~ e.S5'ss e.S5's

The COnscriptiOn Bill.

We give in another column the regulations or Or
ders of the Secretary of War, under the conscrip-
ton bill, and explanatory Of the method of its
forcement and of the law of exemptions. Our
readers, most of whom are either directly or indi-
rectly interested in it, will therefore carefully note
these rules and explanations. We have seen no d.
rect statement from the Secretary of War, whether
or not the conscrpts are to receive the bounty al
ready allowed to volunteers for the war; but we pre-
sumo every ore entering the service under the
script act will be equally entitled to bounty with
the rest, as the law contemplates that every one
shall remain three years in the service, unless this
war should end sooner.
The following suggestive and well-tmed remarks
from the Salisbury Watchman are worthy of con-
sideration:
1--WE accept and submit to this measure as ne
cessty for the present tme sour great business
being, to whip our enemies and SAGE our homes"
We believe the people will accept it on that account
as present necessity. Nevertheless, the people are
jealous Of their berties and so far as our observa
ton goes, they regard this measure with little
apprehension as emanaiing from that class Of men
in the South who are on the point of desparing of
mans ability to govern himself There has been
good deal of loose talk about monarchy or Die
tatorship &C., for the South and it is easy to see
how the plea of necessity might be employed to
complish sudden and radical change in the form
of our government, if indeed, (Which we doubt
there be party amongst us which desire such a
change But as the price of liberty is eternal vig-
lance, and as all encroachments are sure to begin
with and emanate from our rulers, we shall take
this occasion to warn the people that are in the
very midst of perils, not only from the common
enemy, but also from those whom we have delegated
to transact our public business. Our National Con-
stitution, cradled, nurtured and perfected in the
very arms of war, has, by the conscripton, been
set aside or overridden the plea Of scar neces
sity. But yet, the people seem disposed 10 yield
this inch-they will do it. because they believe in
the necessity. But let them look out, henceforth.
If our rulers are honest they will not abuse this
usurped power: But on the other hand, if an over
throw of our Republican government is the object,
and this bill is TO be the lever employed for the pur-
pose, you will soon hear Of other stern necessities
still more imperious, and more seriously invading
the rights of the States and of the citizen"

Whole NUMBER 1414.

The last Wilmington Journal complains in strong
terms At the policy which keeps SO many troops at
camp Mangum, near Raleigh. The Journal is
alarmed as well it may be, for the safety of Will
mington, and is anxious to have the troops nearer
that place. The Journal asks. can it be that a
grand panjandrum is to be kept up there to swell
the consequence of that man of many Offices, Major
General, Adjutant General, Quarter Master General
Commissary General and every thing in general of
the military establishment Of this Stateg" We an
swer, We do not know But we will say to the
Journal that the town and camp rumor IS, that the
troops referred to to constitute DIVISION to be
commanded by Major General Martin.
But the Journal. waxing wroth, does injustice by
saying, ut surely cannot be as reported that these
camps of instruction are intended as BODY guard
tor the Convention, and all men under authority
about the State Capitol and the Capital generally"
The journal is at last alarmed at the prospect of
military despotism, bu: it looks in the wrong d.
rection for it Let it look to Richmond, and then
reflect upon the conscrption and the order for the
impressment of arms. But the Journal does the
Convention and the officers and soldiers at Camp
Mangum great injustice Those brave men could
not be degraded by being made "body guard {"
for any one or any body. They are above that
They are gentlemen and patriots, and not likely to
become the tools or "body guard" of any power,
here or elsewhere
