Mack " writing to the Cincinnati CONNER
cial from Washington says:

ment in Virginia There is a much larger pro
portion of officers than OF men. The hotels are
full OF Colonies, Majors, Captains and Lieuten
ants. who, though severely wounded as they say
managed to come here on the double quick, a
distance of some sixty miles. Some Of them, |
am confident. would not have stopped even here,
II they had not been reminded by stumbling
against the Capitol building that they were far
enough to the rear. | saw Major yesterday.
who, am told by surgeon, had no wound eY-
cept bruise in the forhead. which he had re-
ceived by running against a tree in his blind
zeal TO get away from the rebel bullets. Ii may
be set down as a we'll established fact in surgery
that men who are able TO run sixty miles from a
battle field are more scared than hurt when they
start. But am very glad TO know that the
cowardice Of such officers will meet severe pun
ishment at least, though not the more righteous
penalty of drum-head court martial and summary
death that is melted out to sneaks and runaways
in the armies of other nations. The dismissal of
several has been noted. and when the "full re-
turns" are in there will be found plenty of va
cancles for the promotion of worthy fellows who
have stood up TO the work like men and soldiers.
