The Tr iune says it is notorious that this Schenck has not a single qualification for the position. This is ail very well, but if a Democrnlio jour nal had said as much, a Republican howl would bo sent up agninstit for giving 'aid and cotnlort" to the enemy by abusing and underrating our own officers.

Tho battle of Hull's lun, tho dofeitand I ho retreat of Major (Sen.

As we slated yustcrday, the povernnioa t has nlriatly taken measures to reorganize the army of the l'lilumae, mid has appointed Major (Jeueral McCieN lan to supersede Major General McDow ell. Last evening minors, wore, current in this city in regard lo the killed on the side of the Confederates, among Ihe fallen were reported, to be Uen. Johnson, Capt. Jackson, and a number of volunteers from lialiiniore. After diligent inquiry, how ever, we failed to tra:e the rumors to any reliable source. The reports as to the killed wounded mid missing, on the part of 1 ho federal, party, continue be of a very contradicto-. ry character. Subjoined will be found 1 number ol additional accounts and speculations con cerning the buttle. The lion. 11. J. Raymond, who was present on iSuoilay at the battle near j-iull's liun, wiihin three or four miles of Muua.ssus Junctioj, has furnished tho New York Times tho following graphic account : Washington, July 22d, The balilo yesterday was one of tho most severe and sanguinary ever fought on this continent, and it ended in the liiilm-n nf the I'llHin trooos to hold all tho : ,)0Sjtj()1)S which thev sought lo carry, and ' wi,jcu they actunlly'did carry.rmd in their : rt.t reivt to Centreville. j j-iie a,iack was made in three column!!, two of w hich, however, were mainly feiuts, intended to n in use und occupy tho enemy, while tho substantial work was dutio by the third. It has been known for a long titoo iiint. the raniio of hills which border the srcnll.swampy stream known i s null a Run, had been thoroughly und extensive fortined by the rebels ; that batteries liad been pl.ir.ted at every available point, us ually concealed in luo wojds and buslies which ubound in that vicinity, and cover ing every way of approach to the reg;on beyond." These are tho defences of Man assas Junction, which is some three miles lurther oil'. Unt.l these were carried no approach could bo made to that place; and afier they should bo carried others of t similar character would have to be over comu at every point where they could bo erected. Tu utmost that military skill nnd in genuity could accomplish for tho defen-.o of this point, win done. Gen. McDowell was un Aillini! t make on attack diiectly in the face of these butteries, as they would be of doubtful itsuo, and must in erit.'ibly result in a very serious loss of life. Alter an attack had been resolved upon, tlieri'iore, he endeavored to find some way of turning the position. His first inlentson was to do this on the sonthern side -to throw a strong column into tho placo from that direction, while a feigned uttuck should be niado in front.. 1 On J hursday, when the troops wero ad- . vanced l '.enireviiie. 11 was iounu mai, the roads on the soulh side of these posi tions wero almost impracticable that thoy were nariow, crooked and stony, and that it would bo almo-t impossible to be ell'ective in the time required. This orgi inul ( Lin was therefore, ubundoned ; and Friday w.is devoted lo an examination by the topographical engineers of tho north" closely up 10 Centreville nnd all i.eedtul ' preparations wero made for tho atinolc liquely towards the run, which ho was to cross some lour higher up and then ccmo down upon tho entrenched positions of the enemy on the other side.
