CIRCULATION. eolltaills a complete summery of what has trow elled in our City, State, and the Atlantic Stator, sloop the devarture of the WA steamer tot Oalifortna. Wx viraman to-day a correct and reliable list of the officers appointed to command the fourteen new regiments of the regular army to be organized under the proclamation of the President of May 3d. It will be seen that a large number of those selected to 911 these important positions have been taken from the ranks of the volunteers, the Government thus recognizing and rewarding the courage and patriotism of our young men who sacrificed personal interests and shouldered their mus kets to serve it in the hour of danger, while care has been taken to place in each regiment a sufficient number of old and experienced officers to insure the prompt and thorough or ganisation of this large additional force for im mediate active service. The appointment of theme officers has been one of the most responsi ble duties yet devolved upon the Secretary of War, and we feel assured that wherever they are known their qualifications will be admitted awl the propriety and wisdom of their choice approved. It will be perceived that the list of second lieutenants is not yet complete, and that there are therefore a number of ap pointmenta yet to be made. Another ".Mistake." WM the lesson of Great Bethel never be learned 7 Are we to have our gallant sons and brothers slain by masked batteries and mar diners in uniform ? Must the soldiers of tho Republic be the victims of repeated surprises, and never march upon batteries except to re tamatfrom them ? The armies in Virginia should know that they are in an enemy a country, that armed men are prowling in every thicket, and that every clump of bushes is apt to be the ambush of marauders or the covering of a battery. What is the use of reckless daring and unflinching bravery under the raking fire Of Gannon Which it is impossible to silence, and why must lives be sacrificed without the opportunity to achieve a single result or to at tempt the slightest measure of atonement ? The rr Engagement at Vienna.," as the tele graph calls it, is another of the mistakes " of this war. We have before us the official statement of Brigadier General SCHENCK, and, therefore, can speak by the highest military authority. Nearly seven hundred volunteers from the State of Ohio leave Alexandria in a railway train, under the command of General Sonamok and Colonel McCook, for the pur pose of taking possession of the railroad, and holding It. Sir companies of the regiffient are stationed at various points, and, with 275 men onboard, the train approaches Vienna, a village ten miles from Alexandria, when sud denly a masked battery opens fire, damaging the engine so that the train cannot be re- I versed, and killing and wounding many of thofte on beard. Taken by surprise, pent up in close cars, and unable to return the fire or attack the al.q*i 'its, the soldiers are compelled to fly to the woods for safety, and to retreat slung- the railroad. The official report shows that five soldiers were killed and six wounded, while ten are missing. Other accounts make the less greater, but this is certainly the most favorable, and, perhaps, the most accurate es timate. HMV we have Talimble lives sacrirzeoa ana many brave men placed•in torture, and what has been gained 7 Is it possible that a masked battery ran be erected within ten miles of a large camp, without the fact becoming kn own to a single officer ? Thia seems to have been the nee at Vienna. Troops are blindly rush ed through a hostile country, and in a moment of seeming security the thunder of cannon echoes among the bills, and the messengers of death come trop -unseen batteries_ Om. 6WII troops might learn a lesson from these very rebels. They seem to know every movement our forces make and are properly prepared to meet it. They must have known that our soldiers were coming, or an attack could not have been so quickly made upon a running train of care. We are told that 44 the men behaved coolly under this most galling lire which they could not return, — but, alaa what can avail cochleas and bravery under circumstances like those of 'Vienna? We should never advance into an amyl counim without either knowing that no danger existed, or being prepared to meet every exigency, to avoid every ambush or resent every attack. We meurn the fate 01 these brave soldiers, but if the lesson of Vienna is only thoroughly learned, they have not died in vain. The Disunion Conspinivy. As one by one new facts are develoved, to make it clearly evident to the whole country that the Diffusion conspirators have been gra. dually perfecting their schemes during the last thirty years, men may well contemplate With amazement such an extraordinary spec tacle. It cannot be doubted, that up to within a recent period a very large majority of the people of the South, like those of the North, were devotedly attached to the Union,, and MIL at the present moment there must neces- sadly be s large body of upp o M. -- i„.„4 - ,,euted leve4ta t illerre......eion to their sentiments by - the skittaii of terrorism which has been established. But during all this period a comparatively small, but determined band of leaders, have eteadily rimmed one slues aim. No matter what party was in power; no matter what issues seemed for the me ant t 0 command public attention; no mat ter what objects they professed temporarily to bave nearest at heart, their one steady and, unchangeable aim was disunion, and 1 9 th o l if t wuption of this great Confederacy they unceasingly devoted all their ener gies, in season and out of season, ma king all other questions subordinate to this. When they Were in power they embraced every opportunity presented to them to sow the seeds of disaffection and of distrust, and to Mtn the energy and the resources of the Republie into whatever channels could be made moat available and useful, when the proper period arrived, for its destruction. Bletory !urination no parallel for the guilt of these persistent and unfaltering enemies of our country. Other nations, it is true, have had thar conspirators ; but none, who, for so long a period, or for such slight causes and pretexts, or who bad so fair a chance of en joying the highest honors of a nation, and se curing the chief portion of its posts of lun iQr and preferment, played the part of incarnate traitors. If the lull account of their machi nations could he written, what a terrible lesion of duplicity and iniquity it would teach! We talk of associations of men in other countries who have handed together resolutely for a se rise of years to accomplish cherished political objects, and who have, in some cases, stained their mime and cause with infamy, but tho wor d of these cannot r.oraparo in dopraTily with the zealous devotees of the Secession movement. By what gradual processes they bare undermined the fidelity of many of the officers of the army and navb of So u th ern birth, and poisoned their minds with the false and treasonable idea that their highest alle giance was due to the desperate politicians who controlled the people of -their native States I How zealously have they magnified the importance of every little difference of epistles, or of supposed interest, between the people of the North and the South, and in- Ag o g upon the absolute triumph of the views of the latter on all questions I Hew industri ously have they disseminated the idea that , if , in any case, the Southern doctrines should not prevail, any such failure would justify a resort to revolutionary measures for redress! Conscioua of the strength of onr Govern ment, and of the beneficent nature of its (,pe rations upon the people of our whole country, so long as the propositions to destroy it merely took the shape of threats, we could afford to laugh at their folly, and to despise them; but now, in looking back at the past, we can see the double significance of what at the time was supposed to be mere blatant demagoguism. The traitors aimed at once to frighten and terrify the patient and yielding North into submission to their demands, and to undermine the loyalty of their people, and prepare them for desperate measures when, in the fullness of time, their plot thickened and their prepa rations for establishing a Southern Confede racy were complete. Nothing was better cal culated to gradually accustom the Southern mind to the Secession scheme, from which they would have originally shrunk back with horror, than a perpetual repetition of the cry, year after year, that each question that arose in our national politics was sufficiently- im portant to justify and demand a dissolution of the Confederacy if the wishes of the Fire eaters were not complied with. The conspirators simultaneously pressed forward different branches of their programme. One was to constantly increase the stringency of their claims upon the North, and the other to swell louder and louder year after year, their threatening, defiant, and rebellions tone, while they terrified, cajoled, or purchased tools and agents of their villainous scheme in all parts of the country , and thus gradually laid what they supposed would be an im- pregnable basis for their great rebellion. The Union Feeling in Tennessee. The Union sentiment in Tennessee is still struggling against the treason of the Secession leaders of that State. We have some scatter ing returns of the late election from many of the eastern and middle counties,. , and they show that the friends of the Union are still numerous and determined. In twenty counties the Union majority is overwhelming, and in many other counties it is equally divided. Had Jens Bann and his Immediate friends only remained true, we believe no earthly power could have passed the ordinance of seces sion. As it is, deserted by the most oaten %Sous cg friends" of Union in the country, at the very moment of its greatest peril, we find many noble patriots preparing to defend their flag even to the death. Led by such men as Senator JOHNSON, lILYIWID,NEVAON, and that most eccentric but indomitable journalist Par son Blownow, they are open and determined in their loyalty. Their hearts should be sheered by the prayers and sympathy of the North, and their hands strengthened by the arm of the General Government. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE Letter from ff Ocearional." Correspondence of The rives.) WANILIGTOW, Juno 18,1861 Never before have the enemies of this Govern ment been so active and unscrupulous as at the present time. In our own country and in foreign lands, they are busy with suggestions and &hemss of the most plausible and dangerous character. In the 01,1 World they look upon the convulsions that are dividing our people with undiasembled exultation ; and no matter what Lord John Russell may have said a few days ago, in rebuke of one of the members of Parliament, who said that "the blibble of democracy was about to burst," the latter undoubtedly gave utterance to the hope that has long been cherished by the nobility of England. The TJuited States is a atandla i s ad monition and contrast to all monarchies. Its won derful progress has exalted their envy and their hate. Its free institutions, so prosperous and so successful, so far exhibit unmistakable evi demos of the ability of man to govern himself. Its amazing military resources,' its increasing mart time laperiority, the gentile of its saholars, the foresight of its statesmen, its heretofore unsullied credit, the general wisdom and justice of its legis lation, and the perfect and safe asylum it hew offered to the oppreased of all nations, are so many arguments against monarchy and despotism, and so many...reasons why the representatives of the titled few in other countries should hail the over throw of this Union with arediegolaed eraW.aotion. Oar internal enemies, however, gathering courage from the, example of those th ey sympathise with in distant Europe, and uaaffeoted by the unparal leled uprising Of the people in defence of their free institutions, steadily yet secretly prepare to strike every blow that may do irjary to our came. These men, as I have repeatedly said, aro not to be found in the Southern States alone, but are scattered all over the North and Northwest. Policy and prudence might dictate that no allu alegi should be made to these Wage; hut jostiee to truth and stern patriotiem require that they should be unmasked, and held up to universal de testation. Among the means resorted to by this 0158 s, that of asserting that the President has tran scended his constitutional powers by calling an army into the field, seems to be the favorite one. Forgetting that the Southern traitors have trampled under foot all allegiance to the Con satiation and the laws, their Northern coadju tors are trying to arouse against the Adminiatra tion extinct party feelings, by insisting that its whole course has been unprecedented and lawless- Another of their expedients is to divide the friends of the country in the special elections that are about to be held for Representatives in. Congress. They are, of course, active and vigilant in your Second Congressional district. Such men as Henry hi Phillips, Wm. B. Reed, George M. Wharton, William Henry Welsh, and J. B. Baker flatter themselves that they will have an easy triumph over the friends of the Government. I understand• that they have mecte the necessary arrange ments to put Hon. George M. Dallas in the field as their candidate. Mr. Dallas is a great man and a good man, and his last speech, delivered at his own neMenee, was eminently patriotic ; but Mr. Dallas has lived away from the exciting issues which now disturb and divide our country, and cannot, therefore, fully appreciate what the people will expect from the man who will aspire to represent them in the National Councila His Immediate predecessor, James Bu chanan, came Into the Presidency after a long absence from the United States, and his mime - quad treachery was undoubtedly traaeable, among other things, to tbe foot that he could not be made to understand what the people desired and de manded. NOW, if Mr. Dallas, daring his stay in London, had but spoken such bold truths as be uttered a few days since in Walnut street, the British Government would probably have hesi tated before they meived the Commissioners of the Southern traitors, and the mission of Mr. Adams, whose presence has served to mollt: ac &thine their partiality, _mold re — scam should be 0 01 51 1 / 1 1 1 3Allth - fo . r . tile conduct of his reLatiali, bet the fact that Mr. Dallas is intimately asso ciated with nehmen as James M. Meson, R M. T. Heater, and other well eeoessionists in the South, would, I fear, greatly emeprrass his action, should he be sent into the national. councils. It is a fact, also, that many of those who have led in the disruption of the Demo cratic, party, and therefore, also, in the disruption of thee Union, in the free States, have been and still are his conddential friends. The harm that a great and good man like Mr. Dallas could inflict upon the cause of the Union as a Representative in Congress at the coming special election, if he al lowed himself to give way to the arguments and appeal of those near and dear to him, is ihnabin. table. I utter these opinions with no satisfaction, because I have admired, and still admire, Mr. Dal las, and have frequently spoken in warm terms of the manner in which he has discharged the respon sibilities of the high station he has just left; but In these times straightforward talk, etraightfor ward men, undoubted orthodoxy in the cause of the Union, are essential, and he who fears to do all that lies in his power to help the country and de feat its foes has no right to claim to be an American citizen. Occesioner.. Public Eritertaiuments. Th e musical and literary entertainment at Frankford, on Monday evening, for the benefit of the Union Rese2VS Guard of the Twenty-third ward, went off exceedingly well. Mrs. Cowell had a poetical address, written for the occasion, by Mx. George A. Townsend, of The Press, whit% oho &whoa with line effect ash feeling. and Ex- Gov. Pollook addressed the audience, briefly but forcibly, upon the Union question of the day. Mies Litz% Poole aang "The Star-spangled Banter," Vavratied by the Washington oleo Mut. ) with a charming ballad, and easzartiga's Orange girl song, and also a duet with her sister, Miss HUI° Poole, all of which went off admirably, as might have been anticipated from the well-known powers of the fair vocalists. Several glees were Nang. Mr. G. F. Benkert, who presided at the piano, played two 8010 piovee very finely, and Mr. W, J, Hill, late of Waloutitreet Theatre alto distill. tubbed himself as a solo singer. Dr. Shelton m go k ons i e related some Irish anecdotes, and the entertainment wound up with Mrs Cowell's cella. braced and always popular version of " with a fine chorus. The ladies and gentlemen who gave this entertainment were most hospitably entertained at ice close, by Mr. Leader, at his resi dence} Isoony road. Ws invite attention to the advertintment of col F.

Special Despatches to The Press WASHINOTON, JUDO 18, 1861 The Surprise ane Attack Near Tieuuur • Virginia. From B. JACOBS, BM., of Ohio, who was on the train with the Ohio regimeat when the attack was made upon the train yesterday, I' gather a number of important and reliable facts, in reference to the surprise and attack from the masked battery of the rebel forces, near Vienna, Virginia. At one o'clock yesterday a train was despatched out on the Loudon and Hampabire road from Alex &Min, containing the First Ohio Regiment, Col. McCoox and Brigadier General 80.111110 K. The object of the expedition was to repair the road and bridges. Companies were dropped along the read at points where labor wan to be perfornted, until the train had advanced twelve miles into the country, and was within three miles of Vienna. It was then between two and three o'clock P. M. Gera a masked battery opened npon the train. Five men, sitting upon the engine, fell, and one of the cylinders of the engine was oersted away by a ball. Oar men, beingunproteoted, were instantly thrown into oonfnaton- A part of them sought protection from their dose proximity to the bat tery, still blazing away, and pouring grape upon them, by breaking from the main body and rnshing into the forest on both sides of the train; another body of them advanced upon the battery with heroic purpose, but were ordered back by their officers. A portion of the men remained in the ear. Orders were given to the engineer to back his engine ; as it moved, under a volley of shot, two of the dead were picked up and carried away. An effort was _made to get another man, who had fallen from the -tram and ,was in the agonies of death ; but he begged of them to leave him and_ take care of thempelves. He was left in a dying condition. Orders wore given, "All on board,l l but many of thoselrho had "got into the woods did not return. The train ran down three milee, where they bad left tiro companies of the regiment. The three companies in the train, when the at. their wits made, were Company C, Light Guards, - Company B, Cleveland Grays, and Company iortamcnth Guards. The killed brought back Wave!

By express and•telegraph, Gen. HoDower.i. was immediately apprised of the attack. Ho replied that they would be immediately veinforeed. was understood by our informant, who had left the camp before they arrived, that the reinforcement Was to consist of two Connecticut regiments, the Fire ,Zataves, and one or two commuties of cavalry. A number of trains were heard passing over the road during the night, conveying troops out. The other Ohio regiment could scarcely be restrained from marching, double quick, to the de. fence of their comrades. They were, however, for prudent reasons, not seleeted as the first to avenge the wrongs of their fellow.soldiers. Later. Telegraph despatches to General Bump, the War /Apartment, end to Secretary Sswano, are emu. tinily the same erupting in the number of killed and wounded._ But, as far as 1 can gather, the number killed is 15 and 40 wounded on our side. Oar Erupt made several volleYS upon the battery, and it is believed a number were killed. The Federal troops were eager to rush upon the bat tery, but were prudently ordered to refrain, from the feet of the =parlor strength of the enemy. whiokwas, as nearly as can be asaertained, about 1,600. Throughout, our men aoteduably,and only retired to the woods wheit ordered.. -The only blame attaalked to any one is ehargad :egelawlE the engineer, who failed to atop the engine when so reirested, before advancing upon the battery, that more and better opportunity fora cautious and .rierefed leek-ant might he obtained.

We left companies I and K, with an aggregate of on. hundred and flirty-Ave men, at the crossing of the road, Lieutenant Colonel Parrot, with two companies, of one ban. dred and seventeen men, to go to Palls Church, and to patrol the roads in that direction. Sta tioned two companies, (0 and P, 135 men) to guard the railroad and bridge between the crossing and Vienna. We proosteded slowly to Vienna with four companies : Company E, Captain Paddock ; Com pany C, Lieutenant Woodward, afterwards joined by Captain Pease, by Company G, Captain Bailey, Company H, Captain Hazlett, being a total of 275 mon. On turning the eurve slowly within a quarter of a mile of Vienna we were fired upon by raking masked batteries of, I think, three guns, Math shell, round Idiot, and grape, killing and wounding the men on the platform and in the oars before the train could be stopped. At When the ti , ein. Mopped, the engineer maid not, on account of damage to some part of the run ning machinery, draw the train out of the ire. Th. engine being in the rear, we left the oars and retired to the right and left of the train through the woods.

ROBERT C. SCRBROK, The. Exaggerated Accounts of the Vienna. Affair. Wosamarow, June 18.—Tbe rumors in relation to the attack on the Ohio regiments that reached Washington late last night s were so evidently ex aggerated, that the Government inter.doted the transmission or them from thief city, in order to spare the feelings of the friends and relatives of the troops. Later from the Scene of Action. Aaararrnars June 18—The train whioh went to the Tenet of the Ohio troop, containing the First and 'Second Connecticut regiments, proceed ed as far as four miles this side of Vienna, Where they met the remnant of the Ohio troops, at four o'clock this morning. It appears that, after the engine left last night and nineteen rounds were tired, the rebels made no further demonstration end the Ohio ampules retired. Mr. Darman, employed as brakeman on the road, and who was the only one of the employees who started with the train, says that the attack was made ahortt half past four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the rebels had planted their onnuon immediately at the curve of the road. It is sup posed that the rebels apprehended meeting a larger fame, and that the Ohio regiment was only the advance guard. Of the military movements consequent on these proceedings it is improper to speak. Aceounts from Arlington Heights, to.day, say that Gssiireal geheasek is now there. The attack ing party was from Centreville, and it is con fidently thought they had no ulterior object of an attack upon the &femme of the city. PROM MISSOURI.
