Forty-tbree prisoners captured yesterday |
near Sugar Loaf Mountain, arrived to-day.
come Of them clad in uniforms stripped from |
the dead bodies Of our soldiers at Bull Rua.
They sny they got plenty of boots and
shoes at Frederick. General Hills force, ac-
cording to them, is eucamped at Hyattsvi1le,
rear Frederick, and numbers only about
10000. Several civilians we're also brought in
charged with prow1ing around our camps for
! the purpose Of giving Information to the
| enemy.
| TIE publication OF what purported to be
Pope's official repor! Of the late engagements,
| produced no little sensation in military cir
| cles. The New York Times, which first pub
| lished it, explains to-day that it is only
| careful and faithful abstract of the original
report, and adds that when this report comes
before the board OF enquiry, it will be
| accompanied by mass Of documentary
evidence, fully substantiating every enc Of
p pes statements. On the other hand, the
friends of the generals censured 10 the report
make loud complaints Of publication, as Sin
gularly il]-timed, and say that no sufficient au-
tho1ity was given for the publication. They
| declare that It is in no true sense an official
| report, but simply Popt's budget Of
EXCUSES and accusations, under cover
of which he seeks to change public and gov
erument opinion with reference to his con
duct, and that be wrote it before receiving
single report from his suborlinates. They
assert, too, that while Pope attributes the
1nisfortunes OF his campaign to subordiaate
generals, not single general served under
hin who does not charge them to his oWn in
competency. Gen. McClen ms friends EN-
Ihaticallg assert the fllsity Of Gen.
P:pe's charge, that Gan. McClel-
; Ian DELAYED sending up forage aud
ra1ions till Pope should send back from the
front cavalry escort for them. The who1e
; matter, it is hoped, will be speedily settled by
the board Of enquiry recently called to iaVes-
tigate-
/ It iB stated here that Fitz John Porter has
. written letter to the president demandiog
!, an Investigation Of his conduct in points con-
: cerriDg which Pope makes charges against
l him. Mcdowell wrote similar letter to Lin
coin, come days ag.,, demanding Investigation
into the charges current among the soldiers
, OF his late command against him.

g lishment Of q military dictatorship than any.

when the British Cabinet WAS opposed to him

; the radical taint which may again infnse it

OF The Herald ostepsibly demands the expu

,st Stories are in circulation here that the r
.n- cent delegations from Indiana and kentucl
w. w. came for the purpose of urging the appol1
pee ment OF Gov Morton as provisional govern
Of Of Kentucky, and representing that ual'
cd members of the Kentucky legislature dusiF
ao' such appointment. This version is not trl
but it is known that the delegations desir
to secure an arrangement By which the Sta
authority Of Indiana could provide for th
own troops without waiting to 60 throu
la the delay of the var office, and could SELF
their own generals for them. As the mat
~ is understood here, this was coupled with {
ar pressions OF dissatisfaction from both Fl
u lucky and Indiana with some features Of t
or present military management in that depa
I'u i;a ment, and with the request that Gen. Thoa
ar A. Morris, whose brilli mt services in Westt
: to Virginia have never been recognized BY
.a aea government, should be put at the head OF
n department. The whole request, both as
III latiog to Indiana matters and to affAirs Of
-rs department, met with fat refusal.

Il. suite Of Indians, arrived to-day. He desi
lntl an early Interview " til the president on u
