 June lst, 1862 Hon. F. N. STANTON, Secy of War--
 Information was received on the evening of May Ed, that the enemy, in very large force, had descended on the guard at Front Royal, C ]. Henley lst Maryland regiment, commanding, bArning the bridges, and driving our troops to- ward Strasburg with great loss. Giving to what was deemed an exravagant statement of the enemys strength, these reports were received with spI0e dIslrust; but regiment of infantry, with elYong detachment of cavalry and a bat talion of artillery, were immediately sent to re- in,orce Co Henley. Later in the evening dis patches from ugitives who had escaped 10 Win chester, inf rmed us that Col. Kenley's force had b.en destroyed, with but few exceptions and the enemy, fifteen or twenty thousand strong, were advancing by rapid mar5hes on Wnches> ter.
 Orders were immediately given to halt the reiuf1rcometts sent to Front Royal which had imoved by different rIuIes, and detachments of itroops under experienced officers were sent in Severy direction to explore the roads leading from Front Royal to Strasburg MiddIetown, and Winchester, and ascertain the force, position and purpose of this sudden movement of the enemy IL was soon found that his pickets were in possession of every road, and rumorS from every quarter represented him in movement, in real. oi bis pioEeis, in lhe direction of our camp
 The extraordinary force of lhe enemy could 70 longer be doubted. It was apparent, also, that they had 3 more extended purpose than the capture of the brave little band at Front Royal.
 The purpose could be nothing else than the defeat of my own command or it's possible cap ture by occupying Winchester; and by this move ment intercepiing supplies Of endorsements, and cutting of all possibility of re.reat.
 It vas also apparent from the reports of fugi- tivts, priSoner>, nni"n men, and our own recon noiering parties, that all the three divisions of the enemy s troops known to be in he valley. and embracing at least 9 900 men. Were unir. d and close upon us, in some enterprise not yet developed.
 The suggestion that, had their object been q surprise they would not have given notice of their approach by an attack on Front Royal, was answered by the fact that on the only re-

fairly as other counties, and then, had he
proven worthy man and good officer, he
might have won her to his support; but as
it is he but widens the breach and but spreads
the disaffection. The men from this county,
though prejudiced against him, had made
up their minds, as they were going into his
regiment, 10 like him if they could, and we
feel assured bad it beeh possible for any body
of men to like Scott as military officer the
men from Black Hawk would have succeeded.
But the day for such hope is passed. First

in military matters; but Scott, too wiscto fol-
low precedence, adopts for his rule Of action
-" Last come, first served" So far as the
troops from this county are concerned, they
are eminently well satisfied now, though dis
appointed at first They will find position
in which to be Of service to their country,
and they feel assured that they cannot be
placed under an officer Of less military abili-
ty, or a man who will treat them with less
than John Scott. ........

CONFIDENCE IN McCLELLAN-Everyw
go find the most gratifying confidence in
the General, who has at length been reinsta-
ted in the command of the Army Of Virgin
ia. When the announcement was made in a
portion of Pope's army it was received with
the most rapturous demonstrations of joy
Men thew up their hats, and all seemed to
think there was yet deliverance in store for
the army. Wounded men threw up their
arms in their Civilizations. Those who want
to fight and see the rebellion crushed out are
joyous in the prospect that their strength
will not be thrown away by the misdiIccted
efforts of incompetent Generals.
There is no doubt that the most perfect
accord exists between General Mcclellan, the
Secretary Of War, General Halleck and the
President. The whole Cabinet is now uni
ted upon one policy, and all that is asked by
General Mcclellan is that he shall be allowed
to carry out his present purposes. In con-
versation to-day with friends, he said he had
no quarrel with any one. He desired to let
the past be passed. We have enough to do
to fight the common enemy, and all he asked
was to be let alone and he would put down
the rebellion.
Cedar Falls gazette. [volume] (Cedar Falls, Iowa) 1860-1895, 1862-09-19

The Hartford Courant says that at the
time Mcclellan was charged with dsreliction
of duty, in not sending forward troops to the
aid Of General Pope, he had virtually been
stripped Of all his troops, even to his body
guard, and that he himself was asking for
the privilege Of going himself, in almost any
capacity ; that, while the President was led
to believe from Pope's dispatches that all
was going well, Mcclellan was assured that
all was not well, and that when the Presi.
dent learned of the retreat of our army to
Centreville he called upon Mcclellan to take
command and save the army.

COLONEL SCOTT AND BLACK HAWK
COUNTY.

The first company raised, the first compa-
ny reported, the first company in camp, the
first company to draw rations, from that por-
ton of the 9th Congressional District east OF
the Des Moines river, was the Cedar Falls
Reserves, Capt. Speer. One thing, however,
it was not first in, and one only-it was not
first to be accepted in the SD Regiment
Three other companies raised in this county
were, in all these particulars, not far behind the
Reserves, and in advance of companies from
every other county, save Butler, in that por-
ton Of this District above designated, which,
by General Order, was to furnish the SD Regi.
ment. Only one company of the four was
accepted-that, Capt. PEBBLES company, from
Waterloo-while from other counties, every
man they had raised was taken, many COM
panies being accepted incomplete and unor.
ganized. John Scott is Colonel of this Reg,
iment. We never. before came in contact
with a public man who was possessed of SC
much eagerness to cut. his own throat on ev.
cry occasion that offered itself as John Scott
He had the. authority from the Governor to
select his own companies, and his treatment
toward Black Hawk is fully explained by the
one. word-Spite!
As Lieut.. Col of the Third Iowa, he was
no favori:e with the men from this county
and opposition finally became so great that
he resigned his commission and came home
though it is persistcntly stated by some
that his resignation was prompted merely tc
get his name before the Congressional Con
vention, which conclusion may be not fal
from correct when we consider that during
the entire time of his Lieutenant Colonelcy
he was with his regiment not over a six
month, and therefore not KEEP. from home by
his commission. And then, again, when his
name appeared before the Convention for Con
gressional honors, the delegation from Black
Hawk did not see fit to support it. The eye:
Of John Scott were now fully opened to the
fact that Black Hawk did not take super
abundance of stock in him.
Failing to get the nomination for Congress
he again sues the Governor for eagled shout
der-straps, and receives commission as Col
of the SD Regiment. An opportunity here
presents itself for retaliation, and John Scot
is not the man to let it go unimproved. A
his home in Story County, he selects his com
panies, save one, and makes his fegimenta
appointments, from among his friends in tina
portion Of the District. On his arrival al
Dubuque he accepts, from sheer necessity
as the tenth company, Capt. PEBBLES, and in
forms the rest that they must look elsewhere
and applicants for Office from this portion o.
the District he notifies as altogether too late
as his favors were disposed of two weeks pr
or. "Thus," we imagine says the disap
pointed politician, with pompus pride, sam
revenged upon the county of Black Hawk !?
r Under the circumstances We consider the
action of Col Scott in this matter as wholly
inexcusable, and altogether unworthy mar
occupying his position. His true course wo'd
have been to have treated Black Hawk as

THE VICTORY In MARYLAND,

Our army in Maryland evidently achieved
a great victory over the rebels under Long
street and Hill on Sunday We have no re-
liable particulars beyond the official dispatch
es from the Commanding General, but there
was no doubt very hard fighting and great
slaughter. We have no definite statement Of
the losses on either side.
Up to the present writing 6 p. NJ we have
no news of subsequent events, except that
our troops were in vigorous pursuit of the
flying rebel host towards the potomac, which
we hope is so swollen by the recent rains that
it will be impossible for them to cross before
being captured by our army. There has
probably been more hard fighting, ere this
if not, there soon will be.
We have no reliable basis upon which to
estimate the number of troops that were en-
gagged in the recent battle. On our side,
Hooker's, Franklln's and Rurnside's divisions
are mentioned, and, on the side of the rebels,
Longstreet's and Hills. 1t is probable, how
ever, that other divisions had part in the
conflict.
There is much anxiety as to the Federal
position at Harper's Ferry, which was threat.
ened by the rebels on Sunday A cavalry
force cut its way out, and reports that the
position could be held until yesterday noon,
and. if reinforcements came up by that time,
it would be safe. 1t Is altogether likely that
Franklin's forces reached that point before
yesterday Eoon.
Further news from the operations on the
Upper Potomac is anxiously looked for, and
we expect additional news mementarily.
