should go delegate to the State Convention

Convention, Judge M-and Sani-e
j--each had ballots printed with tho
names of their friends upon then The
Judges delegates were beaten, and before
retireing no consoled himself by lo,3;n1
his hat with bricks. Next morning in rood
season, acting upon tho principle that q
hair of the dog is good for the bite" he
went IN pursuit of q hair just as 50 lie
was calling for tho decoction, Billy Ne
Barney stepped into the saloon and saia-
ted the Judge, waeG the following dialogue

The Correspondence Of the Baltimore
dmertcaR, under tute Of Washington,
Sept Sd. says
The whole nuraber of killed and woun-
dei in ali tho battles up to the present
time does not exceed II ,0)D In Tho first
battle on Friday at Bull Run, the loss on
the Federal side did not exceed 4, coo, al
though Gen Pope announced it at 5000
What the loss Of the enemy has been, OK
whether any Of their prominent officer
have suffered, il not known 1t il. how
ever, believed to ba equal 4 not greater
than ours
In conversation with the wounded who
are constantly arriving here, | find tilet
they have no faith in Gen. Popos capaci-
tY to command j great army, and ridicule
the pretentious announcements he put
forth st the commencement of the esn-
paign, with headquarters IN the saddle
&c. They complain Of bad eeneraiship,
and say that the whole campaign has been
without plan or strategy, and that he h.s
walked into every trap they se. for him,
without foresight or common prudence
As to Gen Mcdowell, bis uithdrawsl
from the army Of Virginia is a necessity
that the President can no longer rlsisf
Not only his own command. but every

that those fighting under him complain
that his orders led them constantly to dis

ton and ther commanders charge him
with having failed 70 properly guard sid
protect the points assigned to him. Ia
fact, his longer presence, whether th-se
charges are true or false, viii have moss
demoralizing tendency.
The facts are that the army CT Virginia
has been outgcneraled out-fanked and
50 d;sheartened By the daily and hou-ly
eg gdences Of superior genoralship on tho
part Of the rebels that il is now on the
