Runaway Officers.

MACK" writing to the Cincinnati CONNER
cial from Washington says:
The city is full of officers and men who ran
away from their commands in the late engage
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, i
am confident, would not have stopped even here,
If they had not been reminded by stumbling
against the Capitol building that they were tar
enough to the rear. | saw a Major yesterday,
who, | an told by a surgeon, had no wonnd ex-
cept a 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. 1t 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 burt 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 hat is melted out to sneaks and runaways
10 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
cancies for the promotion of worthy fellows who
have stood up to the work like men and soldiers.

The Situation

BY request Of the Secretary of War we have
refrained from making any m upon the
late movements OF General GRASr. As loyal
citizens We desire to acquiesce most unhesita-
tingly with the insimations that may come from
headquarters. Nothaving any information what
ever Of the movements of General GRANT, ex-
cept what we get through the official dispatches
of Mr.. Secretary Of War, STANTON, IL is impossi-
BILE for US TO convey Intelligence to others Of
which we are not possessed ourselves. All we
know Of "the situation" ut the present writing,
is just what Mr.. STANTON permits Us to know.
In his dispatch of yesterday date he very frankly
and decidedly informs one General DIX. not ire,
the people. that Mr.. LEE and his ragmufin army
are between the North and South Anna rivers,
bu, that il will take several days to develop the
exact situation of the enemy. Is not that as clear
as mud
For the past few weeks, or since Gen. GRANT
commenced moving upon the enemy's works
Mr.. Secretary STANTON has issued daily, semi
daily and tri-daily, dispatches announcing the
situation of %affiirs. officially. Subsequent facts
nave DEMONSTRATED most cOnciusiNelN tuat eltuel
Mr.. STANTON has taken the job of h~umbugging
and deceivirg the people, or else he has been de-
ceived himself. What horn of the dilemma he
will take we will leave to himself. but he must
hang upon one or the other.
According to the reports of the Secretary of
War, General GRANT is rapidly advancing upon
Richmond. If this is reall, so, the news will be
encouraging to every loyal heart. But we must
admit that the exaggerated and sensational re-
ports of Mr.. STANTON in regard to Federal sue
cesses heretofore have created a very considera-
BILE distrust in the public mind in regard to the
truthfulness and reliability of his official war
bulletins, and the fact that they are filtered
through General DIX in New York does not add
to their credibility or value. We have learned
from some little experience that it is somewhat
difficult to convey that information to Others Of
which we have no definite idea ourselves, and
hence we refer the reader to Mr. SrANroN's dis
patches in the telegraphic columns for an appre-
ciative idea of the situation.

The Corruption in washington.

The Springfield Republican, which is the lead
ing Republican organ of New England, and
which supports the Administration, speaks as
follows of the corruption at Washington: at is
a sad, a shocking picture of life in Washington
which our correspondents are giving us. A bu-
reau of the Treasury Department made a house
Of seduction and prostitution. The necessities
of poor and pretty women made the means of
their debauchery by high government officials
Members of Congress putting their mistresses
into clerkships in the departments. An honora-
BILE Senator knocked down in the street by a
woman whom he had outraged. Whisky drank
ad hbitum The government cheated in con-
tracts and openly robbed by its employees. Writes
OR careful correspondents long resident in the
capital: Washington was never quite so viii
lainousiy corrupt as at the present time. In the
palmy days of Southern rule of slavery. there
was not half the corruption there is now We
do not doubt this is strictly true. and we repeat,
it is a sad, shocking picture"
Such language from a loyal administrator
paper, which labors in the interests of God and
humanity" needs no common from US. We
accept it as a truthful picture of the Characters
tics of the leaders of the party founded on a
great moral idea"
