THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR.

We print this morning those portions Of the
Report of the Congressional Committee on the
Conduct of the War which relate to the dis
aster. of Bull Run and Balls Bluff, and n
the Department Of the West while under the
command Of Gen. Fremont. They are subjects
Of great interest. and the Report of tho Com
mittee will be found TO throw considerable
light on several disputed points. .... -.
Concerning Bull Run there is little or
nothing to change the well.settled opinion that
the failure OF Gen. Patterson to check or fol-
I low Gen. Johnston so as TO prevent his re-
enforcing Beauressrd at tho critical moment
of the battle, was the immediate cause of the
defeat. But the Committee find earlier causes
than that in tho omission TO seize Manassas
when Alexandria was first occupied and in
the unreasonable and unnecessary delay in the
advance Of our army upon that position after
it had been chosen by the Rebels.
The report on Balls Bluff is elaborate and
satisfactory on some important points, but in
complete on others. 1t docs, nevertheless,
contain the materials for arriving at judg-
ment on the serious question of tho response.
biity for that disaster. We have no space this
morning for the full discussion which the sub
ject deserves, but since we have been supposed
by some OF his friends to have borne hardly on
Gen. Stones share in the blunders Of that day,
We hasten to say that this report relieves him
from much of the blame hitherto imputed TO
him. and that the Committee clearly intimate
that 10 the matter OF his arrest and imprison.
ment he has been unjustly dealt with. We
shall consider hereafter the merits of tho whole
case for there are few events in the history of
this war which excited deeper or more con-
tinuouS interest in the public mind than the
massacre ct Balls Bluff.
On the Department Of the West the Com.
mittee report very briefly. and with only par
tial evidence az basis for their opinion. They
declare, however, what few loyal men ever
honestly doubted, that tho administration Of
Gen. Fremont was eminently characterized by
earnestness, ability, and the most unquestiona-
bic loyalty, and that in the matter of re.en-
forcing Lyon and Mulligan, he acted with en-.
ergy and promptness--the failure being from
causes beyond his control.

TIE WAR NEWS.

Tn to ] O'Clock this morning we had no
further positive intelligence from Charleston.
The Government had nothing official as late az
10 O'Clock last night. Our special dispatch
from Hooker's army, states that the Rebels
are evidently uneasy, collecting constantly in
small groups, and talking vehemently; they
strictly refuse to exchange newspapers and
even 10 converse on the Charleston question.
Some. however, were said to have stated that
the Union forces had gained some success,
and that fort, not named, had been taken.
Richmond papers later than those heretofore
received contain no dispatches from South
Carolina; but The Wing Of Wednesday says
thas "ofiicial intelligence was made public
cary yesterday that the enemys iron.clad feet
hAd attempted to cross the bar at Charleston
and failed; but later in the day, it was an
nounced that the gunboats and transports had
succeeded In crossing, and were at anchor.
One iron-clad lay between the. forts quietly
awaiting the attack. A desperate conflict may
well DO anticipated"
Some important items reach Us from the
West. The Internal character of tho Rebel
guerrillss was shown fow days ago in shoot.

1t ranges itself on the side Of Conservatism

this Government Of Nicaragua has just given
another proof by its conduct toward the United
States. The Transit Company having failed to
fulfill their pecuniary obligations to Nicaragua,
the Government not only fastened, for the paltry
debt of six thousand dollars, to take possession
Of the warehouses, stores and steamers of the
Company, but, as The Panama Star says
hauled down and trampled upon the American
flags which were floating over the latter, and
hoisted the Nicaraguan flag in their stead
This stupid act of wanton insult is well De-
fitting the bad cause for which they intend
to take up arms. o'
The Government Of Honduras, on the other
hand, is expected to ally itself with Salvador.
1t had previously striveu to avert the war oy
strongly urging upon both Guatemala and saliva
dor the desirability of an amicable settlement
of their feuds, pointing to the invasion oil
Mexico as q fact fraught with the greatest
danger for all Central America. This counsel
was we'll received by President Barrios, who
consented to it, while President Carrera
bluntly declined to listen to any proposals tor
peace, as long as Barrios was the President
of Salvador. Her medatOry offer having been
declined, Honduras will aid Salvador In the
war fer maintaining her independence.
The issues of all these petty wars In Central
and South America have hitherto but rarely
secured lasting peace, from the simple rea'
son that both parties had but little respect Tor
the sovereignty of law and right, but were
ever ready to appeal to brutal force to Cd,
tain the ascendency. But the progress OF
material prosperity begins to pave tho way Tor
a better future. There are many signs OF tnS
kind of progress. The Panama Star says sna'
in Nicaragua, cotton growing promises 70 Do
very profitable, and that number OF persons
from the United States are now in Nicaragua
purchasing all that can be procured. Similar
Indications of progress have reached US from
the other States. This, We hope, will grad
uay work out revolution in the minds OF
the people, and make them more averse TO
war and more eager to enjoy the blessings OF
modern civilization.

Legislature ratify the doings OF this, ana 'ne
People promptly vote Amen, the Volunteers
will be enabled to vote 10 November 1864!
But why not nert November We trust that
all who shall survive will be at homo TO vote
before the next Presidential Election, and 80
can vote without the aid of Judge Deans
amendment. What is desired and demanded is
that they shall be enabled to vote while de-
tanned in the South by their duty to their
country. ,.l..L.
But Judge Dean proposes the taking Of the
votes of soldiers in their several camps. How
can this be properly donei Here is regl'
ment made up Of citizens Of dozen counties
and of fifty or sixty townships. Who that is
present can say that John Stokes, who offers
to vote as q legal elector of Martlnsburg,
Lewis County, is really voter there' His
vote may elect Sheriff or Clerk for that
county: should not her citizens have chance
to scrutinize his alleged right to vote there
Judge Lows bill provides for all this. Each
vote under it is cast just where it is to be
counted--is cast subject to the scrutiny and
challenge of political opponents, who know
whether he resides and is legal voter there
or not. Illegal votes cannot be polled under
Judge Lows plan, they can be under Judge
Deans. The latter corrupts camp
with all the license and uproar Of a con-
tested elections the former does not. If there
should be battle or march on the day oil
our election, our soldiers would be disfran'
chised under Judge Deans plant while, under
Judge Lows, each voter prepares his ballot
two or three weeks beforehand if he chooses,
and just when he has leisure to do SO. lie
need let no ono in camp know how he votes,
and 30 need be brought into collision with
none. Do pass bill under which the soldiers
can really vote-cau vote this year-and DO
not follow those juggling fends" who - keep
the word of promise to the ear, but break II
to the hope" ....I.

TEXAS.

We are not OF those who blame the Admin
istration for not having attempted many things
which we should gladly have seen accomplished.
The main fault of our strategy has been its
difuseness. We have tried to do 80 much that
we have achieved but little. Had East Ten
nessee been occupied in force at tho outset OF
the struggle, the Rebellion would have been
speedily restricted, save in the far West, to
the region southwark of the Aleghanies. Had
the Mississippi been opened during the Autumn
and Winter Of 1862, the downfall of Seces.
sion would have been achieved ere this But
with half q dozen Independent armies, depart
ments, campaigns. ut once, we have exposed
our isolated attachments to attack in over
whelmng force, as in the case OF Gen. Foster
at Washington, N. c.; while the Rebels, fight
ing on an inner circle, with railroads and tele-
graphs connecting their most distant positions
with their capital and each other, have had us
at immense disadvantage.
Yet we think something ought to BIO done
for the prosecuted Unionists of Texas, and
ferveutly hope 1t may be done soon. Texas

TEE WAR IN CENTRAL AMERICA.

The latest intelligence from Central America
represents it as probable that the war between
Guatemala and San Salvador will assume
larger Dimensions by Honduras and Nicaragua
becoming involved in IT, Thus all Central
America WITH the sole exception of Costa
Rca would be once more the seat of civil war.
Generally the causes of these petty wars in
Latin America are so trfing and so much OF
a personal character as to be little or not at
all understood abroad. There lies, however,
10 most instances, at tho bottom the irrepres-
sible conflict between conservative party
with de.potic tendencies and progressive
party, which, though sometimes by wrong
means, wishes the development aud strengthen
ing of truly democratic institutions.
In tho war which has recently broken out
between Guatemala aud San Salvador, the
former is under the rule Of man, Gen.
Carrera, who is SO little devoted to democratic
institutions as to have overthrOwn the former
Constitution of his country aud made himself
dictator for life. On tho other hand the Gov
eminent of President Barrios of San Salvador,
is known for its sympathy with the progressive
party in Latin America, and is among the
most earnest opponents to tho European 10
reference in American affairs. Nicaragua,
which Nicaragusn exile, living in Saliva.
dor, intends to invade, is Ready to join
Guatemala against tho Government Of Salvador.
