The Pecaliarisies of the Campaign.
The present campaign is a peculiar one in
many respects. Most armies fight to defend
or protect the nation which sustains them ;
but it is a fact, curious as it may sound to
those ntifsmihar with the circumstances, that
While the Insurgent army is felt to be a scourge
by the citizens among whom it is quartered,
the presence of our army in any of the South-
ern districts has proved to non-corobatants a
blessing and a protection. Thus, in Alesan.
dila, Harper's Ferry, Charlestown, and Mar.
tinsburg, the enemy ravaged the country,
stole all the' property that could be mad&
available for military purposes, without pre
tending to give any other recompense than
` — worthleas shinplaaters, while our army, when
It occupied those neighborhoods, scrupulously
protected all ,the rights , of private property,
and, for all the supplies obtained, cheerfully
paid • a liberal, if not an extravagant price.
This state of things, coupled with the in
stinctive feeling that if the :rebels could ob..
tale possession of any Union city they would
and perhaps destroy it, or, at all events
plunder all its banks and treasuries, and, steal
all its available wealth, makes the campaign
a very onerous one. It is not a very import,
tent matter for them to - defend any spot which
we have yet menaced in our present mode of
warfare. Now, since the first burst of indigna
tion against our 4/invasion" of the sacred soil
of Virginia is over, their generals need have
no hesitation in deserting a village or city and
leaving. it to the occupancy of our troops, be
cause, in reality, such a result is more of a
benefit than an injury. And thus, having no
particular lino which they are obliged to de
tend, they have practically made the war one
in: which they constantly retreat before our
troops, abandoning every district we invade,
until they feel that they can entice us into
some stronghold, where, amid masked bat
teries, entrenchments, superior position, and
Superior „forces, they can, with comparative
safety, destroy our men. We make war as a
civilized nation, but they, more like savages,
'tinder the d rection of skilful officers. They
fought at Sumpter with the odds of nearly a
hundred to one, and at Manassas with what, con
sidering the superiority of their position, Was
equivalent to odds of at least four or five to ,
tiae. But it is encouraging to know that
wherever we have met them on the open field
or on terms approaching to equality they have
been shamefully beaten. Boasting that they
are the chivalry of the country, they have
evinced only the skulking, barbaric qualities
of the Indiana, who retreat in the open field,
Unless in - a great numerical superiority,
whose warlike art consists In entrapping their
adversaries into' some deadly ambuscade, and
who display at once their cowardly and their
ctunb fustincts by the torture and the cold
blooded slaughter of disarmed priaoners.
It is evident from all the developments of
this campaign, the battle at Bull's Run' in
chided, that our soldiers - are, man for man,
decidedly superior to their antagonists, and
:iris a self-evident fact that we can, it neces
sary, place in the field, and maintain there,
at least tour times as many men, as our adver-,
satin. 'We have only to guard against pre
cipitate advances npon points where the foe
poasesses an overwhelming superiority, which
will, no doubt, be caretully done in the fu
ture ; and to select such places and such
modes - of attack as will at least give us an
equal chance of success with our antagonists,
sad will, if we conquer them, be of decided
advantage to us in prosecuting - the war to a
speedy termination.
The Returning Volunteers.
Notwithstanding the apprehensions which
were felt at the time of the departure of our
volunteers for the seat of war, that came life
would prove disastrous to them, and that they
would suffer more from disease than from the
assaults of the enemy, and the numerous corn
plaiots which have been made in regard to
insufficient- clothing and bad food, it is a re
markable and griwitying fact that there have
been very few cases of sickness among them,
scarcely any deaths, and that ninety-nine men
out of a hundred of the returning volunteers
are stronger and healthier than at any former
period of their lives. Colobel Dana's regi
ment lost but two men ;during their whole
term of service, one of whom was shot the
day before their arrival here, by a personal
antagonist at Baltimore ; and of Colonel
realm rarreasos's regiment, but one man
was lost.
The returning soldiers, without exception,
surprise their friende by their robustness and
vigorous appearance. It is probable if they
had remained at home the number of deaths
among them would have been greater than
those which occurred during their absence,
and many are free to declare that they feel
that the changed and active mode of existence
they had adopted so invigorated them that it
gave them a new lease upon life. Thus, prac
tically, they found the life of a soldier more
favorable to longevity than that of a civilian.
This encouraging report of the physical is th
ditlon of our troops forms a bright and cheer
big contrast with the situation of a large por
tion of those who are located in the rebel
camps—many of whom, owing to their bad
habits, want of proper discipline and care,
and insufficient and unwholesome food, are
rapidly perishing from disease. This was
known to be the case with a number of Gen.
JOHNSON'S troops before be left Barper's Fer
ry, with the camps in Eastern and Western
Tennessee, and with all others of which we
have been able to obtain accurate: knowledge.
There is no doubt that the organization
of our regiments might in many respects
be Improved; and there is nothing of which
the soldiers complain more bitteily than that
in some cases they were under the com
mend of officers . in whom they had no con
fldeoce. Other officers, who possess true
soldierly qual.ties, they are prepared and
eager to follow, fur any length of time, and it
is, perhaps, after all, a matter of congratula
tion that the three months volunteers can now
avail themselves of-the experience- they bare
game I daring that period in selecting men
worthy to guide them, instead of being im
posed upon by conceited and pompous pre
tenders, without the capacity to comprehend
or the courage to discharge their duty.
While much fault is found with the War De
partment by opposition journals fur selecting
Incompetent officers, it should be remembered
that under our volunteer system the trooPsee
lKt their own officers to a very great extent,
if not entirely, except those of the very high
est grades, and it was their own inexperience,
more than anything else, that led them into
some serious errors. Several important checks
against this evil, however, have been insti
tuted, and we trust they may prove very
effectual. The Secretary of War has recently
announced that, in accepting any new regi
ment, it will reserve to itself the right of re
jecting any incompetent officers that may be
Connected with it. This is a very important
regulation, and should be rigidly adhered
to. It is terrible to reflect upon the conse
quences of haying brave soldiers led: into
action by men unfamiliar with even the indi.
rents military service, and unable to give
the pr directions which may be necessary
n the thousand different emergencies that
May and do arise upon the field of battle.
The people themselves, with the- record of
Nauseate before them, and its list of officers
Seeing-ter in advance of their troops, when
no enemy dared to purstie them, will be more

men competent to lead our immense armies
on to victory, in the lower as well as in the

and it was the universal conviction among his
men, that merit as a soldier alone prompted
him to bestow promotion, that enabled him to
achieve, by the valor that belief inspired, the
wonderful.victories upon which his fame is
based.
WHA.TIVER may be said of the position of
Pennsylvania, her attitude to-day is noble and
characteristic. She came into the Revolution
in an hour of gloom, and dispelled the sha
dows which fell across the path of our infant
Confederacy. When Fort Sumpter fell, and
•
the pickets of the rebel artily guarded the
Long Bridge,,when Baltimore was under the
heel of a mob, and the capital was surrounded
by At sea of treason, Pennsylvania was the first
to come to its relief, and the muskets of, her
volunteers were the drat to, gleam along, the
Pennsylvania Avenue. And in our: second
time of peril, when, a victorious army is me
nacing the capital, the sons of Pennsylvania
are the first to fly to it, to resist the 'excited
hordes of Mr. Davxs and General Beaune-
GARD, and Governor GUILTIN hut promptly
issued a call for ten thousand more troops,
`exclusive of the reserve force.
While we thus indulge in a natural feeling of
felicitation on the position of our noble State,
we are pleased to be able to announce that
the news from Washington is of the moat en
°enraging character. While all danger of an
assault upon it"cannot be said to have passed
away, we think that there is no,probability of
such an attempt being made. Our rulers are
laboring with herculean exertions to bring . 14p
the military and naval departments to the
standard of an impregnably defensive • and
eventually an efficiently offensive system of
warfare. The Secretary of the Navy, the
Secretary of War, the Lieutenant-General, and
the President himself, are giving all their ener
gies to • this work. Regiments are being con
stantly accepted by the War Department, and
nearly every railroad from tbe Statiiiof the
North, the West, and East is burdened with
trains of well-equipped soldiery, who may be
expected in Washington within the next•forty
eight hours. Our merchant marine is being
rapidly - drawn upon for a temporary and
efficient navy, and we may hope very soon to
have the pirates of the South driven from the
seas, and every outlet into the sea guarded by
the guns of the Republic.
The people of the North appreciate the
energy of the Government and the .danger of
the country. That danger can only be
averted by the unanimous voice of the North
in sustaining the hands =of onr rulers. The
members of the Administration have confi
dence in each other ; the nation must have
confidence in.the Administration. The Go
vertanent is 'never so strong as when it repre.
;tents the voice of the people. The voice of
the people is for war,---for a thorough and
effectual punishment of treason,.-for the most
open, unreserved, and radical measures of de
fending our national honor. The Government
appreciates the feeling of the country, and by
that feeling governs its.action.

The leaders of the disaffected, and, in laot, of the
Disunion party, in the Congress of the . United
States, are the two Senators and one Representa
tive from conservative old Kentucky. Mr. Brook
ioridge, who came here for pesos, and continues to
tent it, has been so carried away by the reverse to
our national arms on Sunday lust, as to have been
almost tempted to throw off the thin disguise that
surrounds his disloyalty, and to avow himself as a
ehampion of the Disnnionista. I heard him on
Thersday, and was impressed by the boldness and
freedom with which, in the bells of the Senate of
the United States, be attacked the Government
on aesisted its enemies. Mr. Burnett, his friend
in the House, while speaking on the lame line, met
a somewhat rough customer in William• A. Mob
ardson, the leading Douglas Democrat from Illi
nois, who, while criticising, with just severity, all
theca who have been denounoing the policy
of General Stott, did not hesitate to charge
upon Burnett and his accomplices the re
sponsibility for the great 'calamity which
tut befallen one nation. These gentlemen,
blazers. Burnett aad Breeklnridge, are as 1 have
said, the representatives and mouthpieces of the
dint:Noted party in Congress. They, and those
who believe in them, here and elsewhere, have a
very difficult game to play. All nett men may
be said to occupy their present attitude with a
double purpose : grlt , that of pretending devotion
t) the Constitution, while industriously laboring
to break it down ; second, stirring in our Congreu
anti pretending to obey our lawc, they are in fact
self constituted delegates from the Southern Con.
federally, and agouti of the leaders of the Southern
rebellion. Tolerated in the utterance of senti
ments which, proelaimed lately in the streets,
would insure the arrest end imprisonment of mere
private- citizens, Alma leaders in Coupess are
enabled to matter abroad the seeds of a moat fatal
potion, and if the Confederates were to morrow
to take possession of this capital, the first they
would honor would be Mr Sreckinridge and Mr.
Barnett, even while marking out as victims the
gallant friends of the Union, who are now risking
all in defence of our free institutions.
The conditional Union men in this city, and in
Baltimore, are now daily proving their hypocrisy.
When the news of the defeat of the army of the
Republic; - reached here on Sunday night and Mon
day morning, these men openly rejoiced. Many
who had previously asserted their confidence in the
Administration, and their willingness to stand by
it to the last, in the impulse of the moment forgot
their recent pledges, and were weak enough . to
assert that the Confederates would be upon us, and
that Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet, and the Congress
itself, would be expelled in humiliation, if not
shot down in cold blood. These nen are for the
Government only when the Government is strong,
and against it when it is weak. Harboring Intend)
hatred of thcßepablican party, and an uncongtter•
able contempt for the people of the freeGtates,
they have only oonoealed these feelings bee/tare
they happen to live in the immediate vioinity of
the Government itself • .

George B. McClellan, will arrive here this eve

of being the friend of the Secretary of War, an

meanest of all partisanship is that of orimination
and recriminatioa among common friends, but I
cannot forbear the expression of the opinion .that
the distinguished editors of the leading New York
papers, woo, backed by their immense oironlation,
should control public sentiment, are losing their
hold upon the confidence of the people by the exhl.
bition of prejudioes whioh, if displayed in other
qoarters, would encounter their united rebuke!
Is it not astonishing that Jaurnale heretofore

opinion, or rather to carry it off upon fah e Weed

New York Tribune of yesterday, has in the most

Additional Intelligence from the Battle
Field of Sunday
Wasstrtoromi July 26 —M.j ,r Bidwell, sating

of the engagement of Sunday last, says his lose is
heavy. Most of the casualties occurred in front of
the enemy's batteries The los. of (filers w s
large in proportion to the number of men engaamt.
No troops, he says. could have maintained their
o orpnrsttion there for any length of time, under
snob a ere. They wnro hurried into aotion after a
march of twelve miles over an exceedingly dusty
road, and bad no time for rest or refrainment,.
But the fatigued men ',visaed a courage, coolness,
and endurance that entitled theta to the tugboat
praise

THE CITY.
THE SIXTY-NINTH NEW YORK RE
EIIMENT IN TOWN.
Scenes and. Repolleotions.
An old English novelist temarks - of-a certain
character that he lived a virtuous life on purpoie
to write it And so with this war and its thou
sand stirring incidents and scenes, seemingly
enacted to be written about and fill np the long
gap of civil history with episodes of sieges, de
feats, perils, and Victories Had Mr Radii' or
Mr. Raymond, or other of the great paper gene
rals. been with as at Washington•street wharf yes
terday, they might have rendered the pathos of
this struggle in the treweript of the return of the
Sixty-ninth New York Regiment.
These brave fellows departed for Washington
when the hopes of the land were darker than now.
They were nicely uniformed and gallantly clattered
They return with their colonel missing, and tt
ranks thinned out ; the men 'scarred and dusty ;
the colors pierced with bullets, but yet full of
heart, and loving the Union in disaster as in pros.
.perity.
. Their three months' service is over; and they
reaobed our city overjoyed at recollections of home
and-the certainty of seeing it again. •
A sad aceident occurred on board the,train that
brought them home. At Ridley . 1:111e14. few
miles below the city, a few of them incautiously
atcod upon the car tops, and one poor fellow,
striking a covered bridge, fractured his skull.
Two others were precipitated from the train with
broken limbs. They brought the dead body - with
them last evening.
How strange it seemed that he who survived
the battle and the bloody retreat, should -be cut
off with New York almost in light !
Prominent among the returning veterans was
Thomas trarols Meagher, (pronounced May-her.)
the Irish orator and poet.
He stood the brunt of the fight as calmly as if
the hero of a mimic battle. All parties speak of
him as a true soldier, and toeing pointed out, yea
terday, a great crowd pursued him from place to
place. He was reported dead, but escaped with a
slight wound upon his upper lip, a bullet having
grazed his nose, and ent.ar a part of his mous
taehe.
Another noted soldier of this regiment was the
hero of the Italian campaign, where he served in
the famous "Pope's Legion," but on receipt of
the war intelligence from America, worked his
passage over the seas and joined the Sixty-ninth,
just as it was leaving New York city for Washing
ton. He escaped unharmed, and was lustily
cheered yesterday, his tall form making him an
object of general attention.
This regiment is composed chiefly of Irishmen,
and was known among the Southerners as the
" Bloody fillth," sharing the reputation of the cam
paign with the Fire Zonavee. In the fight at
Ball's Run it was exposed to a galling fire of mus
ketry and cannon, and out of the whole number of
men about one-twentieth are missing.
To bear their adventures told, one is reminded
of the tales of Lever ; for many of them are dm
ply "soldiers of fortune," like Maurice Tier-nay
Iheir language ID frequently of the richest Mite
sian, touching and earnest, with now and then a
quaint bit of pathos or sentiment obtruding, to
that the listener is ever between a grin and a tear,
and always infatuated.
"Did yen see anythin' of Jimmy Dalbaine?"
said a bystander, in our hearing, yesterday.
"I did, air," responded a soldier, having a great
scratch under the eye; "he fought beside me
darin' the cation, sir, and I saw him fall dead at
my fete."
" Be war a good fellar—Jimmy was !"
"Yea may say that, sir! A braver nicer walked
into action, and God be wr bun!"
Theis there is a Seger put to the eye, and the
features are drawn up wofulty, to relax on the in
scant, at a friendly invitation to "come over and
take suthin' in a glass."
We asked one of the men to state his opinion of
Southern courage.
"Av that, cur," said he, "we Gould say nothin'
in the world ; for in the whole action not above a
hundred did we see! They woe a dodgin' in and
oat ar the timber, and there wor no acme oat in
!"
Being further questioned, this informant states
that occasionally a hundred or so would sally'from
a wood, with the design of drawing the regiment
into the fire of a battery ; but of the hundred that
appeared, not a dozen went back to their ooverti,
bat tell, riddled with balls.
A number of 'lightly wounded persons came
home with the Sixty-ninth. As they were etsnd
ing he Washington artist, a train of oars panted up
filled with arnbulanoea—oovered dearborne with
line springs and two wheels " Thank God," said
one, with an arm in a Meg and a gashed eye,
" that I flyer trusted myser to one o' them. /
should have been lett with the !filmy, sure "
We endeavoreei to learn the prevailing opinion
as to the oiigin of the rout. It seemed to be
caused by a charge of cavalry upon a etiltlttlll of
Infantry, and sdterwardi to the ahsenas of a bat
tery, or even a field piece in the rear, to cover the
retreat. Infantry were powerless against the daah
of horsemen, and Lim the rebels annoyed our !not
for miles along the way. In reference to the
charges of cruelty with the pursuing rebels, opt.
nion divers; some opining that the foe was, in
generals, humene; but many testifying to atro
cities on their part which` make Daman nature'
sicken at the recital.
The Sixty-ninth stated that their horpital was
shelled by the rebels, and the wounded burned ap
in the flames. On the part of ail the deteraileation
exists to return in a few weeks, and assist in re
trieving the ditgraoes of Manaus', or strew their
bodies along the road. The actors of this regiment,
as already intimated, are bored with bullets, and
the regimental flag, a beautiful green, is riddled
and torn almost to shreds. The standard-bearers
of these oolori were — shot dead twioe ; but a hundred
hands were raised to clutch the eagle aid the
abazarook.. With these odors ahe.d, the Sixty
ninth (shorted a rebel battery, and held it until
fresh forces arrived, and oompelled thena to retreat.
Their ciliceraappear to be endowed with the la
41°mi:table energy of the Irish oharaoter, and, unlike
most returning regiments, the soldiers speak of
thent.to respectful and applauding terms. Of 001.
