GENERAL BRAGG's KENTUCKY CAM.
PAEGN.

Some Of oar contemporaries are publish
ing Gen. Bragg's official report of his cam
paign from Tupelo, Mississippi, through
Tennessee, and into and cut of Kentucky, in
the summer and autumn Of 1862. The Mem
phis Builesn speaks Of it as containing the
highest evidence Of Gen. Bragg's superior
military ability. on the contrary, the Lou
isville Courier looks upon it as weak de-
fence Of a series of military blunders, that
should have consigned the commander to
immediate obscurity as a military man. It
is too late to accomplish any good by reopen
ingthediscussiono fthe course and Termination
ola movement, that was so disastrous to Gen.
Bragg, and the cause in which he was engaged.
However interesting il might be to some of
our readers, the pressure upon our columns
is such that We do not feel justified in re-
publishing il in full Any report of that
expedition, the consumnate failure Of which,
in its manner and form, deprives il of the
dignity Of military campaign, would add
nothing to the public knowledge of its dis
asters and must properly pass into the hands
Of the true historian Of a cause lost mainly
through the inefhciency Of commanders, and
the too rigid adherence Of It's head to the
spirit and letter Of the constitution, the law
and Of popular liberty. 4
Our chief object in making this notice,
however, was to refer to the manifes, unkind-
ness visited upon an eminentma and officer
by this Report Gen. Polk is charged with
disobedience TO orders and thus initiating all
the disasters of the expedition. In view Of
the fact that the commanding General lost
the golden opportunity Of the enterprise by
leaving his position at Green River, and
thereby opening an easy way to Buell. TO |
reach Louisville and receive additions TO his |
force equal 10 bis whole army at Bowling
Greenland in view Of the further fact tia,
after leaving Bardstown, Gen. Bragg insti-
tuted a policy Of disintegration, at the very |
moment when concentration became indis-

make Gen. Polk the scape-goat Of his errors
and short-comings Is no less disgracefhl than

Serious Accident.

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, September 1.-THE pub
lie road bridge at this llace broke down to-day
with a crowd of people on it, who had assem-
bled to see the Presidential party. The plat
form extending over the canal was seventy five
feet long, and from fifteen to eighteen feet in
width, on which several hundred persons were
standing. Its occupants were precipitated to
the ground, distance of about twenty feet
The timbers and human beings were mixed up
promiscuously, all falling in a confused mass.
COL O'Bcirne, deputy marshal Of the District
Of Columbia, remained at the request Of the
President to render such assistance as might be
necessary. The victims were placed in wagons
and conveyed to their homes. Some had both
arms and legs broken; others were injured to a
less extent with confused heads, and seven or
eight were killed, while this evening six more
were in dying condition. About ninety per-
sons we're severely and 4 large number slightly
Injured. Col. OBeirne saw the bodies of two
girls, apparently fourteen years Of age: also,
those Of two women and three men. The
friends of the unfortunate parties hurried to
the scene, frantic with griet-mothers, with
children in their arms, seeking their kindred.
In fact, the entire population was gathered
around the distressing scene, anxiously looking
for or inuuiring Tor their friends and relatives.
The President contributed literally for the re-
lief Of the most necessitous by this sad calamity.

SECRETARY STANToN-The Washington
correspondent Of the philadelphia Ledger
hears that the Secretary of War is preparing
to meet the charges laid against him by MIR.
Smithson, and the trial is expected to come oil
within the next two months The writer adds:
"Should the verdict be against Mr. Stanton
he-will zprobably be troubled with law suits
during the remainder of his lite, Judging from
the;number that have been rumored as on the
taDis since that Of Smithson's was instituted.
Mr.. STATIONS chief defence will be that he
acted as an officer Of the government, and tina,
he is not, therefore, personally responsible tor
the extra functions he may have assumed dur
ing the var.
It is understood, however, that the issue IN
volced in such suits as Mr.. Switbsons does
not pertain to any question of legality OF arrest
or punishment under military forms, or by
action of courts martial, but to depredations
committed upon and appropriations OF private
property, entirely independent or trlai ana

affect This thing, it is known, Was most
wantonly INDUCED in many cases during the
war, generally before even trial was hsd: aro
often to the personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ofbclas
and subUrdinates, and nearly always TO the cx-
tent of edless waste and injury. 1t would be
curious if no one was responsible tor It. 1he
most innocent were likely to suffer under SUCH
reckless and arbitrary proceedings, as 1t was
only necessary to charge man and arrest nm,
and his property was often at once dlspolled
to an extent that even conviction on the charge
alleged would not, by the statutes, have au-
thorized. The questions involved are entitled
to legal determination one way or the other, at
