The Reporter for the Associated Press
did not, as is alleged, rpfnrt or circulate
the report that Gen. Mcclellan dismissed
the charges brought by Brig. Gen Rose
Grams against Gen. Benham, nor has be
until now said a single word upon the
subject. The facts are briefly these
The charges inysiye the conduct of Gen.
Benham as to the pursuit Of Gen Floyd
and the cause Of the escape of The latter
with his army. Gen Benham has denied
tho truth Of the charges, and asked for a
court martial, but this was refused at the
present time from the fact that the
chief witnesses are attached to the army
Of Western Virginia, and are now serving
in Kentucky, and cannot be withdrawn.
In other words the trial is postponed to
await the convenience of their attendance

Buell. was packing all the Government property,
and would remove il with his army towards Lou

Was confidently expected by the rebels that they
woald be able to capture Buell's entire army. We
give the above rumOrs as we heard them, without

Bragg is following in the wake of hsretirlng ar

GEN nanson's Orders a, Richmond

sscu. WaOsO0S Ordcrs al Iticn IN Onus
We call attention to the following justification
of Gen. MANSON, which we copy from the Gin
cinnat Gasette. The injustice of the attempt to
throw the responsibility of the disaster of the
gagements at Richmond, Kentucky. upon Gen.
Manson, must be apparent to all. The gallant
Indianians who fought under General MANSON
against such fearful odds, stand by him and cor
daily approve of all he did If Gen NELSON had
had not appeared upon the field just he did.
and stopped the retreat which Gen. MANSON had
ordered, fully realizing. as he did. the hopeless
ness of further contest, nearly all the subse
quent disasters would have been prevented The
facts in the case will fully relieve Gen. MANsSN,
and we say let the responsibility of the disaster
rest where it belongs. The Gazette SAYS:
70 correct false statements which have been
made public in this city, respecting the engage
ment at Richmond, authorized by General
Manson to state that previous to the engagement
he had ao orders to fall back or avoid an engage
ment The order of General Nelson advising
retreat by the Lancaster road. reached Gen. Man
son on Saturday, after the fight had been going
on for five hours, and when he had formed his
second line of battle. and the enemy were adj
vancing in line to the attack. A retreat could not
have been made then without a fight After he
had been driven from that position he rallied the
men into line between his camp and Richmond.
At this time General Nelson came on the ground
and took command.
Gen. Manson subject to the duties Of his
position as representative of the Government and
commander of the troops, and was under no or
ders, general or special, to seeking or avoiding
engagements, or falling back. Only prompt
rtfr AZ before tho invading column cbeI him
could have taken his troops safely the
Kentucky river. Had he retrea,ed thus aud if
it had turned out subsequently that the rebel
force was nconsderable, he would have been
dismissed in disgrace, was the officer who
treated from Paris Gen Manson's report will
show Why he marched To the position he took to
meet the enemy.
