we have fought and been beaten. God forgive
our rulers that this>is but it is true, and can
not be disguised.


4 decI1nated ard indi gnant people will demand
the immediat te retirement OF the present Cabinet
from the high places Of power, which, tor one
reason or another they have shown themselves
incompetent to fll.


From the New York Express


The record we make are deeply panied to
see and to say. is rather OF rout than Of BATTLE
beyond the Bulls Run batteres-and the record is
the most painful we have ever had to make our
long life ot editorial experience.


This defeat, however will in no degree weaken
the Northern country or tie Northern people but
on the Contrary will arouse them to unparalleled
exertions and call forth their full strength 1t IS
very true that it will highly encourage the ooutl~
ern peo ple also but the North has not yet begun
topnt forth its strength while the South Is strain
ed TO the utmost.


From the New York World.


This disastrous result of the action was perhaps
ipevtable-even though no panic had occurred at
the close from the three against which the
noblest soldiery can never successfully oppose
their daring. First, the enemy's forces had been
largely underrated and nearly doubled own
in number; second, the onus of the attack rested
entirely upon as and the natural and scientific de-
fences of the rebels made their position almost
impregnable; third, many of our leaders displayed
q laIneutable want of military knowledge. There
was little real generalshp in the field.


As for the Colonels, many Of those who We're
not wounded or killed in the engagement exhibited
not merely inefficiency, but pusillaninity.


From the Boston Daily Advertiser.

From the Boston Daily Courier.


Yesterdays operations were against us. though
not so sadly as the sensation press and reporters
and the drunken Congress towards who led th
retreat would have the nation think. The cOun
