Here we have tie COniedera'e force
estimated at forty thousand when Gen
J. E. Johnston IN letter TO q. f.
Holmes puts it at twenty nine thousand
and claims TO haye taken the number
from record. He also states that OF
tbs number only about thirteen thous-
and were actually engaged.
The true state o! the case is this.
Mcdowell was ordered to move with
about thir,y,fye thousand men against
Beauregard at Manassas Patterson with
eighteen thousand was to hold The
thirteen thousand troops IN the Valley
under Jos. Z. Johnston.
In accordance with plan OF Beaure-
gard, Johnston was to JOIN the latter,
with. the bulk of his army, their united
forces were 10 crush Mcdowell and then
return and do the same for Patterson.
Johnston skilfuly eluded Patterson aud
Joined Beauregard with portion OF his
forces the day before the battle. a
portion came up towards its close.
Johnston arrived at Manassas. on the
2Oih OF July, assumed command. adop-
ted Beauregards plan Of attack and re-
solved 10 begin tho assault the next
morning, as Patterson might arrive the
next night. Soon after sunrise the next
morning the Confederate left, was
a-sailed and was continually outfanked

With de ,achment Of Johnston's army,
of seventeen hurdred inf,ntry and

the left. Immediately after, Elrly
moves up aud takes position on the
extreme left, outhauking the enemy.
The world knows the result. The
Federals were routed and never ceased
running until they were safely over the
Long Bridge across the Potomac
Early had been ordered up IN the morn
mo but through some delay, had not
received his orders ualil the attern Oon.
The Federals we're the attacking party.
II was neither object merely TO keep
or regain their position 1t was to
drive ;he Coniederates from theirs. The
! snoils we're ten coOrs, twenty eight
cannon. fourteen hundred and sixty
pri.ouers, five thousand mu'kets, and
five hundred lh )uslnd cartridges. As
J ,hnston was in command and made
the various dispositions he ought to
know what be is about when he says
only about thirteen thirteen thousand
Conlederates were actually engaged
and /. for Que. believe him. 1t is
patent to all, that generalship and not
numbers won the battle.
One more remark, Mr.. Editor, Il you
please. In alluding to the cavalry OF
that period Gen. Early speaks thus:
they were inexperienced mounted men,
with insufficient weapons. which they
could uot use on horseback Where
were those abundant materials with
which the CoDiederacy began the war :
In somebody's imagination?

SUNSET GATES AJAR.

- -
Tonight sat in my window,
When the west was all aglesm
With that strange and wonderful splsndor
That is festing IS dream;
Thought that the hands of the angels
Had nung open heavens gateway wide'
And caught glimpse Of the glory
From the hills on the other side.
Is il not bea utiful fancy,
This sunset thought Of mine,
That the gates Of heaven are always
Flung open at days decline;
That those whose day is ended,
OF earthly woes and ills,
May pass to the morning sunshine
That dwells on the heavenly hills!
When for me the sunset gateway
Shall at days decline unclose.
And pass in through the portals
To that long and sweet repoce,
know that shall remember,
In that city 80 fair and far,
My strange and beautiful fancy
OF the sunset gates ajar.
Perhaps, while 1 sat there dreaming
Of the gateway in the west,
Some poor soul went through Its portsla-
To long and endless rest
Passed through the sunset gateway
To that "city paved with gold;"
Passed into the new LIES gladness'
To be no longer old.

much alarmed.

TUE CIrY MAIL.
Distribution to be Made OH Postal Ro

Distribution to be Made on Postal Routes.
Some days since Postmaster Conger wrote
to General superintendent Thompson, of the
railway mail service, suggesting the advisable
ity and Importance of aiding the Washington
postofce by causing distribution of matter
handled on railway postal routes to be made
up in sections as follows:
All matter for West Washington to be in
cluded in Georgetown distribution.
All matter for any street and number north
east, southeast, or navy yard to be made up
for East Capitol station.
All matter for any street or number north
west or southwest TO be made up for Wash
ington city distribution.
All matter addressed to senator's and Off
GERS and employees of the senate to be made
up for the senate postotlice.
All matter addressed to members of con-
gress and officers and employees of the house
of representatives to be made up for the
house pOstoilice.
All matter addressed to an official of the
United States or district government to be
made up as official matter.
Mr.. Conger said in his letter. 81 feel conf
dent that if this schedule can be adopted it
will result in the delivery of letters to all
parts of tho city much earlier than is now
possible, and | sincerely trust that you will
cause the same to be given fair trial. and
hope il may be commenced at once, so as to be
in good shape before congress meets"
Superintendent Thompson has approved
the suggestions, and yesterday issued a
printed circular of instructions on lines en-
tering in this city.

Interesting Discussion on Various Fruits
ut the Meeting Last Night.
The Horticultural society held its regular
monthly meeting last night, Mr.. John Saul
presiding and Mr.. j. II. Clark, secretary.
Messrs John w. Shaw, w. l.. Bramhall, and
Mrs. Admiral s. 2. Carter were elected MEM
bers.
Prof Saunders spoke of the recent exhi-
bition in Baltimore saying that it was a
success. He had received q letter inquir ring
whether it was profitable to grow apples lin
this neighborhood.
Mr.. Saul thought not but said money could
be made out of pears. Some years ago DR..
Magruder, of Montgomery county, Maryland,
made a success of apple growing devoting
himself to but two kinds. An early apple
and one coming in October would be profit
able. He would recommend pear growing.
J.. Mr. Curtis spoke of the fine displays Of
apples formerly made here: He thought apple
growing here could be made profitable.
Mr. Clark inquired why apples the last
summer in this neigborhood sold for double
the price of oranges grown in the West In
dies and Florida and imported here through
such long distance.
Mr. Saul thought that was owing to the
dealers.
The discussion was carried on at length,
Prof Saunders and Mr.. Saul spoke Of the
peeto, fruit apparently belonging to the
peach variety, which grew well in Florida
and southern California. Prof. Saunders also
gave instructions how to preserve figs in the
winter.
After further discussion of this subject,
which included grapes and other fruit, the
society adjourned. The exhibit OF flowers
was large and handsome.

Suit for Professional Services,

Justice of the Peace oNeil yesterday
brought suit against Charles L, Barber for $25
before Justice Watts for professional services.
Mr.. Barber is clerk in the patent office, Mr..
John A. Clark appeared for the plaintiff, and
Mr.. l.. G. Hine for the defendant. Mr..
o'Neil stated that Barber employed him to
compromise case with young lady named
Columbia Mahoney, whom Barber had
knocked down and injured by driving u
horse over her. 1t was agreed to settle the
case for 5000. Barber wanted the fees of the
physician in the case-Dr. Elliot-includod
in the 5000. This was afterwards agreed to,
and Barber refused to pay witness his fee,
hence the suit. Letters of Mr.. Barber and Miss
Mahoney were put in evidence. These pur-
ported to show that Barber employed O'Neil
to compromise the case with Miss Mahoney,
and that the agreement to compromise was
made on the part of the lady. Barbers evil
dence was directed to show that he never made
any compact with O'Neil, aud that O'Neil
was guilty of misconduct in office. He stated
that DIR. Elliot sued him for 800 for attend
ing Miss Mahoney and before Judgment was
rendered by o'Neil, before whom the case
was heard, he (o'Neil) offered to compromise
