s. Mr. T. c. Grooms having had his
" say" we have word in reply. 1t will
be noticed that he denies but one of cur
allegations. How much his denial is
worth, and the value to be placed upon
his sneer at the men under his command,
may be correctly estimated by his ac-
acknowledgement that the fight had been
going on for one-third Of an hour before
he or his Colonel knew anything about
it. Where were you, gallant Mr.. Grooms,
during that struggle? Where was the
Colonel, whose business it was to make
the proper disposition of his forces be-
fore the attack eommencedP Were you
all enjoying the " hospitalities of the
Colonel" with his cousin, Mr.. Taylor?
"sHospitalities " is new name for it
We are in the habit of calling it some
thing else in this latitude We can tell
Mr.. Grooms that one of our informants
was soldier, and wounded one at
that b" There can be no doubt as to
where he was during the engagement
So long as the gallant Captain Howard
was upon his feet, the men fought with
out either Colonel or Adjutant How is
it that they did not fight after he fell?
We will only add that the Colonel had
ample warning of the impending attack;
and that his men were compelled to fight
twenty minutes without his knowledge,
seems to us to place his conduct in a
more odious light than ought we said
against him in the Journal The Colo
mel should spike his Adjutant. He is
far more dangerous than Johnson's six
FOUNDER.
We have nothing to say in defense of
Mr.. Dusouchet :" for violating the hospi-
talities of the Colonel The "hospitali-
ties it seems were nearly all gone, and
the Colonel felt called upon to apologize
for the scarcity. AS the vessel contain
ing the /" hospitalities was of good size
it is quite apparent that the hospitalitiesi
had been largely enjoyed prior to the ap-
pearance of the clerk of the Sallie List.
Mr. johnson, it seems, gave the Colonel
the information that he had 750 men. We
suppose that was vouehsafed when the
Colonel so heroically went forward in
front of the cannon's mouth-,citk tie
flag of truce. Mr.. johnson could just as
easily have made it 1000 Although
| he had $50 men it seems the hospital
robber felt called upon to. evacuate the
place upon the appearance of 500 or 600
men from Shawneetown. If our officers
are to take the words of ofguerrilla leaders
as to their forces, the Confederate army
will swell up, in the aggregate, to figure
perfectlysppailing.L u a .5.,ola :

The Situation on Thursday--Nati0nal
and Rebel Strategy.

News of the gravest importance ar
rives this morning from the field; news
so startling that almost hesitate to sum
up the reports, or to dwell upon their sig
nifcanee. But from different sources
come so much corroborative evidence
that the reports cannot be dismissed as
rumors.
That the rebels are still at Manassas
Junction; that they have destroyed Bull
Run bridge; that they are at Fairfax Sta
ton, at Burkes Station, at Fairfax Court
House, at Centreville, at numerous points
near Alexandria, whose names are fa-
miliar in last years history, seems to be
certain beyond question. They are even
said to have been seen at Hunters
Chapel, six miles from Alexandria.
5., Remaining at Manassas, and holding
the stations and railway for twelve miles
this side-holding their different posi-
tions with determination and ceolness--
they have been for two days interposed
between Gen. Pope army and Washing
ton, cutting off all direct communication,
and depriving the army in front of its
supplies. ~. aa eaaaE
But The vital question is, How large
is the force which has thus thrust itself
in the rear of such an army as General
Pope's? Is it only cavalry dash, or is
it the movement of an army?p There is
evidence on both sides, but / cannot un-
dertake to weigh it tonight. L only give
the substance of statements. Another
letter that goes to you with this will sup
ply numerous details. t~o.T
1t is believed on the one side that the
enemy have taken permanent possession
of Thoroughfare Gap, and of the country
on both sides the range of fmountains, and
entering at this. Gap and above, have
placed themselves completely in the rear
Of Gen. Pope. This account. makes the
main body of the rebels to have gathered
at White Plains. Then moving either
from that point, or passing around to the
north, they have advanced to Leesburg,
and have already crossed in small par
ties at Edwards Ferry ,aa, ssods s.s.
On the other hand, the belief is en-
couraged in official quarters, that the en-
envy have succeeded only in penetrating
through an undefended opening in the
lines of Gen. Pope, and that with the
temporary obstruction of communica-
ton, and the destruction and. damage
which can be accomplished by sudden
raid, their mission will be at an end.
But official communications to the pub
lie are SO brief and indeeisive that opin-
ious from that source must be based up
on differences rather than upon facts
The rebels, to make this movement,
must have left behind them all or most
of their own supplies and means of trans
portation, but counted upon supplies
from the stores to be captured at Manas-
sas and other stations The trains and
commissary depots said at first to have
been burned were doubtless preserved if
needed for the rebel army, and so far
their calculation is correct, and their ar
my for, the time provided If this means

MAJOR May OF THE 10Th INDIANA
The telegraph brings the painful intelli-
gence of the death of Major May, of the
10Th Indiana, in one of the late battles
near Manassas Major May was an ac-
complished soldier, and man of bril-
liant courage. He was promoted from a
captaincy for conspicuous merit, and was
the darling of his regiment He was a
native of Eastern Virginia, but emigrat-
ed to Indiana when quite youth At
the time of his death he was aged about
thirty years. Indiana has lost no better
soldier, or more skillful officer, since her
first regiments marched into the mount
aims of Virginia. Colonel Sol Meredith,
commanding the 18th Indiana, was also
wounded in the same action-the tele-
graph says slightly. There is not man
in the West more widely or more favor
ably known for his genuine manliness
than he. His bravery is unquestioned.

We do not pretend to affirm that Col.
Farrow had a large enough force to hold
the place. If he thought he hadn't and
could not get re-enforcements he ought
to have evacuated it and crossed the nv
er with his men, because it is in proof
that he had warning of the contemplated
attack.
1t will require many such cards as the
Adjutant perpetrates to place the con-
duct of the field officers of that little COM
mand above suspicion.
