A Washington dispatch of the 18th

A great deal of valuable testimony has
been obtained by officials and others touch
ing the evacuation of their Bull Run en-
trenchmeuts by the Rebels from loyal fug
tive blacks, white, and colored residents
and papers found in and about the late
headquarters of the Rebel Generals. Al
engineer on the railroad between Manassa:
aud Richmond testiies that it is at least q

namely;

ANOTHER "VIoroRY. What splendid "reb-
el victory" that was at New Madrid What n
pity that they hadn't killed few hundred I'm
ion soldiers before breaking for the swamps? Is
Gen. Pope to be court t-martialed?-1oI Blade.
The idea of comparing our victory at New
Madrid, where Gen. Pope drove the enemy from
their entertainments at the cannon S mouth, cap
turing all their guns, munitions of war, provis-
ions, and camp equippage to the evacuation Of
Manassas where the enemy left nothing behind
but few blackened logs as seare-crows for Nc
Clellan, is worse than comparing the devil to ar
angel-unless it be fallen angel

That was fnc as well as true phrase in
John Stuart Mills recent essay: "a fight against
Slavery is a fight for God" Just now howev-
er, there is in this country great effort to con-
vert the war, which Slavery began, and which
has hitherto been more or less waged against
that accursed institution, into a means of
strengthening and perpetuating it. This effort
can't succeed. "The stars in their courses fought
against Sisera."
