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:

Heater, and other well eeoessionists in the

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

appeal of those near and dear to him, is ihnabin.

In these times straightforward talk, etraightfor

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

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.

by Captain Pease, by Company G, Captain Bailey,
Company H, Captain Hazlett, being a total of 275

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

Th. engine being in the rear, we left the oars and
retired to the right and left of the train through
the woods.
Finding that the enemy's batteries were sus
tained by what appeared to ba a regiment of in
fantry end by cavalry, which forge we have since
understood to have been some 1,500 South Caro
linians, we fell back, along the railroad, throwing
out skirmishers on both flanks. This was about 7

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.
