it Vrt,SZ. TEIIIRSDAX, JULY 25, 1861. Forever Heat that standard Omni Where breathes the fe• bat fans before tie With Freedom's sell beneath oar foot, And Freedom'■ banner streaming e'er lsel arraoAcu'of the pickets of the enemy to the immediate vicinity of Washington indi cates that the insurgents are disposed to again threaten the Capital. But, meanwhile, our army there is rapidly being organized, and numerous reinforcements are hurrying on to assist in its'defence. , AN ILSOITING SCENIC occurred in the House of Representatives yesterday, between. Wx. A. RICHARDSON, of Illinois, and Mr. Boanzrr, of Kentucky. Full particulars will be found in onr telegraphic report of the proceedings. Ws Ann not disposed to exaggerate the great issues which >havo been forced upon ns by the recent disaster to our arms in Virginia. That we have met with a terrible reverse ; that the largest army which ever marched tinder our banner has been beaten ; that we have been driven from our, advanced position in Eastern Virginia, are facts which the people must reluctantly admit and carefully consider. The people of the South have gained the greatest triumph of this revolution. If there has been division before, there cannot be di vision sow, for the sword which checked the career of the Federal army, under the brow of the Blue Ridge, will check any attempt to maintain a loyalty to the Union in the seceded States. The confidence of the people of those States who have been looking forward to a time when they could gladly welcome the victorious armies of the Republic btu; been sadly shaken. They may have been Secessionists under protest before, but they can be so no longer. The victory of their troops will: consolidate the Southern sentiment; fora rebellion, that is formidable enough to win a great battle, within thirty miles of the capital of the country its leaders betrayed, will be strong enough to punish as treason to its authority any exhihition of dia. content within its own borders. But this consideration, great as it may be, is one of the very least which press themselves upon the minds of the people. The great task 'before the nation is to save the Capital of the nation; for, in saving Washington, we can retain a hope of saving the Union. It is the political heart of the republic, and when the blood flows sluggishly, or swells into a high and rapid fever, we must look for the effect upon the various extremities which depend upon it for sustenance. ,it we lose Washington we must look to a future terrible to contemplate, and among the probabilities at that future we must rank the recognition of the Southern Confederacy ; the estrangement of the Northwest ; the mere effigy of the Union in the Eastern and Middle. States; a republic on the north Mississippi, a republic on the south Mississippi, a republic of New England, and a republic on the Pacific coast. The course of reasoning which leads us to this conclusion is very plain. The capture of Weeltington means the occupation of Mary. land, the subjogation of Western Virginia, the secession of ILeatucky, the thraldom of Eastern Tennessee, and the triumph 01 treason In Missouri. The capture of Wash-. ington will be the triumph of the theory of self disintegration, and by showing to the world that. the Central Government has not the power to maintain itself, it permits the constituent parts of that Government to look only to their own selfish interests. and to enter into any arrangement, either politically, commercially, or socially, which those interests may suggest. When the corner.:stone is gone the - edifice mus crumble. It will be no longer the Union of thirty.four States for the sake of the Union, but the Union of the Cotton States' for the r.r.....ma-silitliVOlS-10 the sake of an inter-State slave trade; .of the agricultural States for the' sake of agriculture; of the mineral Stages for the sake of a high tariff ; of the commercial and mount - act' ring States for the sake of a low tariff, and of the States of the Pacific for the sake of the gold upon the shores of the Pacific. Unless we have strength at the great centre of our 'political system, the bodies com posing that system must of necessity gravitate from it. Unleis we are strong enough to maintain the Republic as the Republic was founded, we must submit to that common fate of weak republics—a great despotism or a confederation of mere petty tyrannies. We think this is understood by the people of the North, but it is well that they should un derstand it In all Its aspects. The Southern cannon are no longer in Charleston bay, but on the sides of the Blue Ridge. Baal:u lna/ID has brought his batteries from Carolina to Virginia, and now literally menaces the Heights of Arlington. In April, Washing ton was in terror of a local rabble which had collected from the counties of Fairfax, Prince William, Londoun, and Jefferson. In July, the danger comes from a large, well disciplined, and a gallant army, flushed with victory, commanded by able generals, and representing every community in the South, from the aristocratic planters of Virginia to the uncouth foresters, who roam through the woods of Texas. That, Washington can be taken as easily as the town ,of Fairfax or Centreville, we do not think; but it can be taken, and Mr. Davis would consider it cheaply bought at the cost of ten thousand lives. And this Richmond dictator is not the man his record has proved him to be if he does not make the effort. The Federal Government is on the defen. sive. The capital must be defended, and a hundred thousand men must be there before another week rolls past. The people of the North must come up to the work, and they mast come with the sword. No more decla. =salon; no more invective; no more specu lation; no more idle sympathy for traitors; no more halting between two opinions; no more hankering after the fiesh•pota of com promise; no more partisanship and treason. able resolutions by party Conventions—we must use the sword. It must be wielded by no divided energies, but with one will and one purpose. And then, baring placed the caps. beyond all danger; having raised it high above the shoals of treason, we may hope to go forth again, armed with this tearful experi ence, and 1113110115 to conclude the work of asserting the integrity•of`the Union. • Colonel Jame e C .moron. This gallant officer, who died at the bead of his regiment, the New York Seventy-ninth, better known as the Caledonian or Cameron regiment, on Sunday last, was born at May town, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and at the time of his death was about sixty years of age. When that fine corps reached Washing ton they bad no Co'onel. Their ranks were Ihll and their enthusiasm unbounded. Learn ing that Colonel CamNaos was in town, they offered him the command, which, atter some hesitation, he accepted, and was duly commis atoned by the President. The Csusnois brothers have always been conspicuous in the politica of Pennsylva nia. Their parents were in straitened cir cumstances, and JANE', the youngest of the four brothers, was, like them, thrown early ripen the world, and forced to take care of and educate himself. The qualities that enabled their widowed mother to look after her children in yotith have strengthened them in their many contests with the world. Of the two surviving brothers the eldest is Wiztun, one of the noted capitalists of the State, resident in Union county, and the nest iw years tbo present Secretary of WiLr. J.uiss OximOil was married to the daugh ter of Mr. Lirustss, of Lancaster, more than twenty years ago. Always identified with the rilitice of Pennsylvania from the year'lBB2, was, like his brother Simon, the editor of several leading newspapers. Botikwere riot ers. lie also acted as the superintendent of the Philadelphia and Columbia Rallroad,when that Improvement was under State manage ment. 00/0110/ Camases always belonged to the Democratic) party until within recent years, when his sympathies were enlisted on the aide of the straight Douglas Demo cracy of Pennsylvania, with whom he qt.-. clently co-operated until the nomination rot Mr. Lumens, whole election he warmly supported. He was a man of singular unielf isbnetts of character. His kindness and his charity were hie prominent attributes. He bad a charm in his manner that attracted a stranger to him at once, and in all his life, it may be truly said that he was never guilty of a mean act. He "viii ever a favorite with the Irish citizens of Pennsylvania, particularly with those whe lived in and about the town of Lancaster. Inheriting their social nature, and proud of Ma connection with them, he was never so happy as in their company ; and born in an old German settlement, he may be said to have been equally a favorite of the Germans,. He. was highly courageous. What. ever he might have lacked in other respects, he made up by his natural, instinctive, and daring intrepidity. More than twenty yeara ago, in a contest with a newspaper editor In the town of Lancaster, while attenipting to enter his office, he was shot down, and his conduct, in what threatened to be his death bed, showed that he could meet:the dread de stroyer without fear- After having been elected Colonel of 'the Seventy-ninth, he took up his quarters with the corps at. Georgetown College, and soon secured their confidence. His brother, the Secre tary of War, took groat interest in the regiment, and although averse to his ac ceptance of the command, on account of his age, did all in his power to , encourage him. But the natural vigor and intrepidity of. Col. GAMMON soon fitted him for the arduous - dn ties of his new position- In the first engage ment he exhibited great coolness and gal lantry. The "effect of a passing cannon ball threw his horse upon his haunches; when he dismounted, and, with a joke, said, ci I think I had batter be among the footmen." But, in the bloody battle of Manassas, he exposed his person, and cheered his men at all points. A short time previous to his death, he met a citizen of Lancaster, Colonel Elzisrann, the editor of the Lancaster Lx amines and Herald, and conversed with him freely, assuring him that he intended to lead his regiment and to come out of the fight with honor, if his life should pay the forfeit. He then disappeared; the order came from the commanding General directing the Seventy ninth to go "forward I" and in a short time jAmse CAMERON was numbered among the de parted. He was struck at the Name moment by two balls, one in the stomach , and the other in the head, immediately after he had called out to his command, 4‘ Scots, follow me I" He expired almost without a groan.

WASHINGTON _COIUMPONDENCI. • Letter from 64 Occasional."' CCorrasponponioe of Thio Pram WASHISOTON, July 240861, It would be a rata folly to go back te the past and to (mitre into the onuses of oar misfortune near Manassas, on Sunday last, and those who allow themselves to do so will gather • nothing from the experiment. If we allow ourselves to quarrel over these cams we shall bsoome an easy prey to an excitant enemy. I have been astounded that oar. taro of the New York journals, who assisted to °roots and to keep up:a frenzied sentiment, and compelled the advance upon the batteries of the enemy before the proper time, should now demand a change in the Administration, beoause it yielded to their own appeals, and induced Gem Scott to alter the plan of his campaign. A better feeling, lam happy to say, prevails among the representatives of the people, many of whom were carried away by:the excitement which first began by declaring . that General Scott was too slow, and too meny of whom insisted upon giving advice to the officers of the army. Many Representatives and Senators now say that the only way sueuessfally to eonduct and to oonclude this war is to repose undoubting confidence in the veteran Lieutenant General. They will not, I thirk, listen to the new exactions of the Neir York newspapers. - When politicians insist upon assuming the control of an army, they always make mistakes Confidence in our military leaders is a tat requisite; and submission to, these leaders on the part of those not in the army will undoubtedly be manifested hereafter. As an evidence of the prescience of General Scott, I need only recall the fact, that for many weeks past, those most urgent for our advance upon Virginia complained bitterly of his plan of fortifying the heights near and around Wuhlza A „,,„_., and yet we now find that this very precaution has saved the capital from capture! •if his directing genius had been left unfettered, there would have been no rash advance upon Manassas, and there fore no such catastrophe as we now mourn over. A leading statesman, who called upon him some days ago, and advised a speedy attack, was an swered by the old man in these words: "I am older than you, and your younger blood may be right, bat my =starer judgment is against any precipitate action " General Booth never was more confident than he is at this moment. He thinks that we have won's victory; all things oon sidered, and if left to himself, will, I have no doubt, so discipline and dispose of our force., as to reflect new lustre upon his own name and upon the flag of our country. Ocoaarosur.. LFTRIL /HZ BATZLE. [Prom our Special War Correspondent.] WAMINGTON, July 24. 1861. Yesterday was a busy, tumultuous, and . dlecor dent day: The city is filled with soldiers; and Pennsylvania Avenue never presented a more ex citing mono than it has done Anne Monday morning. Large bodies of traops are constantly thronging every street, filling the corridors of the hotels, standing at the corners, and forming in little knots around curious listeners in the Capt tol, the publio grounds, and the White House. Energetic effarts are being constantly made to organise the various regiments, and during , the day messengers were riding around the olty en• deavoring to collect the straggling members of eaoh particular regiment. In many parte of the city the soldiers are quartered, and the °Moors are anxiously laboring to restore their men to a state of efiloieney—taking care of the wound ed and striving to hunt up the missing. It will be a day or two before this work is ecoompliehed, as the work of Resembling and arranging twenty thousand weary soldiers IS a task of wonderfa/ magnitude. I have conversed with many of there soldiers, and I ant glad to be able to say that there Is In every breast a deep, bitter, Inexorable sentiment of eagerness to return to the contort, and to hurl back upon Richmond the treasonable hordes of Davis, Johnston, and Beaurigard. The announcement that General McClellan has been appointed to take command has 'treated great enthusiasm among our men. I have no fault to Ind with General McDowell. Be is a brave man ; he made a mistake: but the error of "a soldier is the ruin of a soldier. General If.. Dowell, with the fate of !drumlin; on his memory. can never command the oonfldence of the army; The man for the hour seems to be our gallant young townsman. Without disparaging any single officer of this campaign, it must be admitted that around the brow of George B. McClellan cluster the greenest laurels of the war. He enters into the sympathy of the hour ; his heart .beats honestly, and warmly for the Union, and every impulse is true to his native land I have faith in him. The time is one of peril... The Oarthagenistui are before menaced Rome, and may he be the Scipio Africa nus of the limerfeen Republic'. The dead march! Its slow, sad, solemn strains wail through the air, and the prooessicn winds around the broad Avenue at the foot of the hill to the mournful martial music. It le a dreadful thing to see on this glorious summer day, for it brings up to us all the fearful memories of the bat tie-field, its horrors, Iteunwritten woe, its unappre-. elated, because ineffectual, bravery /t le ono of the victims who fell on Sunday, a gallant private of Ohio. The flag dragee his coffin, and beton , and behind the hearse his companions in arms slowly pace. The trades of the battle are still upon them, for they are jaded with excitement, travel worn, and weary, and sad with the gloom of a great grief. I wish I could write you one-half the stories I hear of the indomitable bravery of our troops Every tongue has some great achiever/real to tell, and every eye sparkles with the recolleotion of deeds of daring. One incident comes to my mind as a striking illustration of the temper of our men While the Third Infantry of regulars were wider a fearful fire, a South Carolina soldier was seen to ride along the lines bearing a Palmetto flag, end waving it insultingly and in defiance at our forces One of the privates notieed the action, andquietly remarking, " That flag has been there long aeougb," deliberately raised his piece and brought the audacious rebel to the dust. Poor Kent is missing. Be wu a yeunernan and a resident ofThilidelphia. Lately graduating at West Point, with high honor-a in his class, he was Immediately ordered into earrie• and joined, the Third infantry as a lieutenant. Ia the early part of the action he was wounded in thefoot, and borne to an ambulanoe. But the spirit was atroag, and although week milli the loss of blood, he left the conveyance and endeavored to rejoin his oom pan). On his way he fainted from exhaustion. 'sad it la supposed was left on the field, in the tumult of retreat. One gallant fellow, Sergeant, Morton, of the regulir service, distinguished him self in the course of an infantry charge. The men were proceeding rip a declivity, on doubleAtiok time, to take a battery. The sergeant rushed:-opt in *deism of his, company, and, waving hia7ilag allured for them to come on. TIM artillery rimmed `forth their deadly voll4, but' they, went en, and the battery was taken .Among thoie who fell was one old Man whose head was white with age, and' whose etory is e to mance of war. Jle had been thirty years in 'the regular service as a private soldier. Be had fol lowed the Indians through the everglades of Flo rida, bivouacked upon the side of the Rooky Mountains, chased the Canal:tote with° Chero kee through New Mexico, stood before the fire of Buena 'Vista, charged up the heights of Chepulte. pee, and followed the victorious Rag of his country along the pleas of HOKUM) and into the hails of the Montesumes. Ills arm was covered with cheve roue, six blue stripes indicating six consecutive enlistments, and two red battle-stripes, typifying Florida' and Mexico; and with these simple in. , signia he felt prouder than ever did the white -plumed Murat at the head Okla gaudy cavalry. He fell in the heat of battle, with the shouts of his Comrades ringing :in his ears. Poor fellow! Lowly among the brave, almost forgotten in this age of ingratitude and forgetfultesi, who shall relate - hie eventful and'glorious history 7 ,The'smoke is'passing away, and we begin clear; ly to comprehend'our recent disaster ha Virginia. It is gratifying to know that the 'magnititde of that disaster is lessened the more elosely,we scan ft.' The killed wounded and missing will not out. number more than a, few huadreds.and of the wounded, all are well treated, and most of them will recover.. One thing appears to, be eertain, that if the ratite have gained victory, that victory has been a barren one, and so, com pletely. have their forces been . demoralised and decimated by the splendid, though in. antes valor of our soldiers; - that they were unable to follow up their triumph, and realize its advantages. It was' at drat thought that the main body of 'their , reserve army had moved down in the rear of our retreating column, ocettpying Centreville - and Fairfax, and all yesterday and theday before' the most vivid' t ap pretensions were enterfained for the safety' of the, city. It was, rutiored.thatßiairigard hadtaken Fairfax, and that, as soon , as his array had rested, he would move at once upon Arlington nace the capital. - That apprehension, indeed, has not entirelypassed away, and many an anxious: head lay upon ite pillow last nighti, expecting to be awakened by the guns Of-the victorious enemy ' Battles are' udged by their results; and when we know the tide of adders!, bas tteraid either one way or the Other Way, we hardly oars to ask 'the details of the'engagement, or the valor of one or the intrepidity of another. ,When victorious, ell are deserving. When 'defeated, viiit do not ask who did the most to avoid, that- defeat, but nisei whose steulders must;the responsibiliti fall.- This is the great question whioh agitates Washington. to-day, and rumor, with her thousand tongues, is busily endeavoring to attach the misfortunes of-the day to some erring or unfortunate public servant By many -it is charged that, ileneridAlcDoWell =vine perhaps of the fame orGeneral McClellan in the Weit, was anxious to hurl his column in stantly upon, kfun i use, and risk a -difeat , the opportunity of gaining the splendid re., nown of a decisive victory. I have heard this charge made by officers who served under him; ' and I have.beard it said further that so closely. did General Mollowell comsat his purpose, that .ofibeers of high grade, commanding under him; bad no idea, on entering the field, that they entered to participate in a general engagement. Another charge Axes the:whole responsibility upon General Patterson, at Martinsburg, who either neglected or rehtsed to form a eonnection with hieDosill, or prevent the junction of Johnston with Beauregard at hiseassas. The disposition is general to Ili the blame on Patterson, and nothing but 'the - desist showing of his instrutlthois and his doings cadre' , Hove that offloer from the responsibility slummed' upon him`, • - . It la;very certain, however, that this. disaster . does not belong to any 'one general or to any one executive officer, but. to the dictatorial and nth sentiment:which newspapers and poi - hieing -.had infused into the people. It is alrnostimpossible to deserihe ..the extent of this" haughty and, insolent dietitian 'to - the Administration. It . extended freer politicians to -statespen, sod :filth/gad its baneful spirit into the Senate and -- the nouns of Representatives.- , The moat we can say of the-Ad-' ministration is that follotted the sentiment of the people, and if it erred at all it erred by.the'obsiV vanes of a Ileinooratio virtue. - Newspapertiof great influence, like tie New York Trading, and the New York Tiines;'were the moat ultras-.

No Single member of the Administration, , no 'single person who' had in any way expressed confidence In - "theAdministration; was free from their abuse. General Scott himself, Whose eighty winters freeze with one rebuke Al great , self-seekers, trampling on the right," was aas ad In the most unjast anmali anent manner; his loyalty was douhto,t his 0013.11. . . eels mu ff ed at, the very affections of hie heart and the hospitalities of his house being subj•ote of ribaldry and censure. The public opinion thus manufactured, and directed by. men high in the confidence of the country, became too strong for the Administration, and against its judgment it yielded. '• Ifor..the first time in my life I have been a coward , fort he first 44 have life yielded my judgment to the clamors of poll dolour and newspapers." These are said to have been the words of General Scott, and they tredi show the effect of this fearful public sentiment: - Let ne learn one lemon, hoWever, and let that lesson bo—oonfidenee in the men who have shown themselves Worthy at confidence At the head of our army we hare the greatest captain of the age, and we must trust him.

I ask the gentleman who, on thi 4 side, have souaht to impeach the character of Gen. Boott, and are unwilling to march under his ban ner?, We do not hope to snooeed without Gen.

I de. olsre before God, •as my solemn conviction, that if such things are permitted you will destrey this Government, and I further dealer* that If General Scott cannot fight the bettlai nobody else can. As to the bill before the House, there is an erroneous idea in relation to the dignity and importance of the States The call on a State for trriops le a mere courtesy. In my judgment the President Ina a right to call for t , oops anywhere, even in mantles. There is no such thing as a State's so vereigoty against the General Government. How can the Government be preserved .unless he has priwer, to °all out troops! The Federal Govern. ment, for general protective purposes, is supreme. It could defend the capital and the soli everywhere. Mr &sin, of 'Missouri. I desire to say a few words. Generals Butler, Patterson, and Cladwala der, were from the Ilreokinridge - party. ' That two of these gentlemen • were appointed by the Ad ministraticn I believe to be cornet; but General Butler came • hither as a Brigadier General It was Massachusetts who. first oonferred•Outt honor upon him, and be was made a Major General for patting down a mob, and for the executive ability which he dtsplayed I understood that' General Patteison was appointed by the advice and on the recommendation of General Scott. Mr. RICHARDSON I said that four generals were apprinted from the Breokinridge, but none from the Dinglas party ; but I have no complaint. Mr BrAtit. Of all the Douglas - men' who are Oltialifted for such a command, 1 have no doubt the gentleman is the drat and beet. Mr. RICHARDSON (bowing) lam very much obliged to you. Mr. Bumf'. The gentleman said that General Scott had been driven to risk a battle by the gen-. tienten on this side, but nothing hart been said here derogatory to that soldier. Is the Mejor General fit to command, if he can be forced to bat tle against his own beat jodgroent and at the out cry of outsiders? Nobody on' this Ede has said aught against General Scott. The charge came from the gentleman from Illinois, and it was de rriglitory in the highest degree Mr. Iticitaanson. I take it all back (Laugh ter.' Mt- RICISAII.DSON.
