The regular army of the United States at this date consists of about twenty-two thousand men. Of the old regular regiments, many have been decimated by various causes. Over two thousand five hundred men were in Texas, of whom hardly one-half have returned or are available for active duty in the loyal States.— Of those in New Mexico and California several compel:des have suffered Severely from desertion, owing to the treachery of their officers. It is estimated that a variety of causes diminished the old army—which consisted of some eight een thousand rank and file to fourteen thou sand; leaving a deficiency of four thousand, which extraordinary recruiting has to supply.— No means hays been left unemployed to' make good the shortcoming, so far, as regards the men, but some inexperienced officers have been appointed in the regular force as well as in the volunteer service. A colonel of the United States army, who served at Stone Bridge, says that the regular soldiers will not fight under in competent officers, but will become dishearten ed. The great exertions made to enlist recruits are supposed to have so far exceeded the current wants of the line so as to make the regulars now number twenty-two thousand—four thou sand in excess of the old figures. WE LUNN MOH WASHINGTON that since the late bats that have resulted in a manner die astrousi our arms, a large number of officers have resigned,while several who have heretofore aspired to command are now willing to enter the ranks to be commanded. The country and the army may be congratulated on this circum stance: It is not likely that many really valua ble officers will leave the service ; and the va cancies occasioned by those who in the late ac tion discovered their incapacity for the duties of their stations, can now be filled by the chief of the army with men who have been properly trained, and in whose ability, as leaders, our soldiers may have ready confidence. If the bat tle of Stone Bridge weeds the army of incompe tent officers, it will do the country and the cause of the Union a service for which we may hold it in grateful remembrance. And that it is having this effect to a greater extent than was suspected, is a fact we learn from the best authority. Let Generals Scott and McClellan now see to it that capable and experienced men are put in the places made vacant by resigna tion, and our soldiers will go into battle here after with that confidence which arises from the possession of able leaders, and which can never exist while men have reason to suspect that their superiors are superiors only in name and not in knowledge, experience or conduct. A CAucus OF TRAZIORB in the Maryland Legis , . lature have resolved to call a Convention to as semble in Baltimore on Tuesday, Sept. 10, "for the purpose of devising means to oppose the war policy of the Federal Adminsstration."— These traitors proclaim that they desire to vin dicate the right of Maryland to exercise all and every authority within her own limits, and her power to prevent "prowling hordes of ruf fian soldiers from passing over their territory to attack the rights and the interests of the people of other Commonwealths." Of course the Convention is called for treasonable purposes. But it is a matter of surprise to many sensible loyal men why such villains are allowed to con coct and advocate their treason under the eye and within the hearing of the authorities at Washington. The traitors of Maryland are doing more damage to the cause of the Union, than the traitors of South Carolina. They fur nish the rebel leaders with information, and supply their followers with food. They are spies on the Government, news-gatherers in our camps, and tale bearers between ourselves and the common enemy. A rebuke to the Mary land traitors cannot be much longer postponed. BRIGADUR GENERAL PIERCE is out in the Bos ton papers with a statement in regard to the Big Bethel fight, in which he asserts that he acted under explicit orders, but that the plan of attack and orders accompanying it betrayed a want of knowledge of the enemy's position and numbers ; that his command was composed of raw recruits with only twenty rounds of ammu nition, his small artillery force having only twelve rounds, hardly sufficient for five minutes fire ; that the cause of going into friendly regi ments was owing to the neglect of General But ler to notify the detachment which joined him from Newport News to wear or recognise the white badge worn on the arm. General P. in conclusion says : "After the battle had taken place, and public inion had fastened on me the opprobrium of defeat, I applied for a court of inquiry, that to might be set aright and the blame, if any, rest on the proper officer. In my application, nay, my demand, I one reply—that a court of inquiry Iker too much that would injure g fox. 'like n b e ,' ZlOt I ) , ; „_` ° te brother-in-law of Mrs. — Sr las • ichmond on the 28rd '..'" : -, but onbeing • . the charge TIM MILITARY CommissioNnits created for the examination of newly appointed officers in the army, have resolved that the following requisi tions should form a basis of the standard of qualification before an officer can be entitled to hold a commission : Of company officers, cap tains and lieutenants, they should be able to answer, orally and correctly, all questions on the manner of instructing recruits, the manual of arms, the school of the soldier, the position of commissioned and non-commissioned officers in line, and possess a knowledge of battalion movements. Tne field officers to ba able to understand all that is required from the com pany officers, and, in addition thereto, evolu tions of the line, the proper conjuncture and the circumstances under which to use field ar tillery, the elements of military engineering, and such other collateral questions as the ex aminers propose. Wirrits PREVIOUS to the battle of Bull Run, we were daily treated by the Washington corres pondents to narratives from a "reliable gentle man," just from Manassas or Richmond, to whom Beauregard and Davis had confided most of their secrets. "The reliable gentleman" has not been heard of for the last few days. But his place is filled by the "escaped prisoner" just from the hospital at Centrffille or Manua as. Every day he 'turns up. Tits Pittsburg Gazette says that when General Garnett was killed by our troops in western Virginia, his body was taken care of, embalm ed and sent home to his friends; but when Colo nel Cameron was killed by the rebels the men that were sent atter his body were imprisoned. "Cast not your pearls before swine, lest they turn again and rend you." THE FIELD AND REGIMENTAL OFFICERS KILLED AND WOUNDED AT BULL RUN. From late southern papers we make up the following list of field and regimental officers killed at the battle of Bull Run, from which it will be understood why Jeff. Davis pronounced it a "dearly bought victory : " CONFEDERATE OITICERS KILLED. General Bernard E Bee, South Carolina. Colonel D. K Mcßae, North Carolina. Colonel Charles F. Fisher, North Carolina.

A bill has passed both houses of Congress, has been signed by the President, and is now a law, taxing certain incomes and properties, for the purpose of raising $20,000,000 to aid in de fraying the expenses of suppressing the rebellion at the south which aims at subverting the au thority of the government and destroying the liberty of the people. The bill contains seven ty-six sections, and is necessarily very long. Carriages are to be taxed from one to fifty dol lars each, as they are valued. Spiiituous liquors are to be taxed five, and fermented liquors two cents per gallon, or sixty cents per barrel. When the latter contains over thirty gallons, the tax to be paid by the distiller, who is re quired to keep a sworn record of the number of gallons manufactured. A drawback is allowed in cases where such taxed liquors may subse quently be exported. We give In frill some of the principal sections of the bill. TUX TLX ON CARRIAGES AND WATCHES Sec. 68.

BULL RUN, AS SEEN B F A SO 071 CARO LEVAL% The war correspondent of the Charleston Mercury thus describes the battle of Bull Run : Suddenly an order comes, borne, I believe by General McGowan, for the second and eighth Palmetto regiments to hasten to the assistance of the left wing. Couriers are despatched to Captain Perryman, out scouting, and Captain Rhett, on picket guard, to march across the fields to the left, and join their regiment, the second, which is on the march, to aid the 1, ft wing. This 'regiment, to which was attached Kemper's battery, followed by the se each, Col. Cash, hurried to the scene of action. It was met along the way by numbers of the wounded, dying and retiring, who declared the day had gone against us; that Sloan's regi ment, the fourth, were cut to pieces ; that Hampton's Legion, coming to the rescue, and the Louisiana battalion, were annihilated ; that General Bee and Colonel Hampton were mor• tally wounded, and Colonel Ben Johnson kill ed ; and that the Confederate forces were out flanked and routed, and the day lost. This was the unvarying tenor of the words that greeted us from the wounded and dying, and the fugitives who met us during the last mile of our approach to the field of battle. To the sharp cry of the officers of the second regiment, "On, men, on these fellows are whipped, and think everybody else is," the troops responded nobly, and closing up their columns, marched rapidly and boldly forward. The fast flying cannon shot now cut down several of our number before we got sight of the foe. Presently they became visible, with banners insolently flaunting, and driving before theni the remains of our shattered forces. But the second, undaunted by the sight, deployed column, and, with a shout, charged up the hill at the double quick. The Yankees could not stand the shock, and fell back into a wdod on the West of the hill, pouring into us a galling fire. Driving through this wood, they again formed on a brigade of their men in a field be yond, and for half an hour a severe struggle took place between this regiment, with Kemp er's Battery attached, unsupported, and an im mense force of United States troops. We poured in a steady and deadly fire upon their ranks. While the battle raged the eighth South Caro lina regiment came up, and Col. Cash, pointing to the enemy, says "Col. Kershaw, are those the d—d scoundrels that you wish driven off the field ? I'll do it in five minutes, by God!" Yes, Colonel, says Kershaw, "form on our left, and do it if you can." In a few moments the eighth got close up on the left, and poured in a murderous fire, under which the enemy reeled and broke. BY THEM. From our Evening Edition of Yesterday. LATEST FROM WASHINGTON. MINISTER TO HONDURAS. Explanation of General Army Order No. 45 -.- REPEAL OF BOUNTY ACTS Qualifications for Admission Into the United States Service. A DEFAULTER DISMISSED, W49IIINGTON, Aug. 7. The President has appointed IL G. Wells, of Michigan, as minister resident to Honduras. General Army order No. 46, which prohibits volunteers who do not speak the English lan guage from being mustered into service, is now officially explained, as not intended to apply to regiments or companies of foreign nationali ty in which the men and officers speak the same tongue, but to prevent the enlistment into regiments or companies whose officers speak the Rnliah language only of men, not understanding it, and to officers whose language they do understand. • The twenty-ninth section of the act approved July, 1838, granting three months extra pay, in lieu of a bounty to soldiers who may re-enlist, and the third section of the act approved June, 1860, granting a bounty equal to the transpor tation from New York, to soldiers who may re enlist at distant stations, having been repealed by the act approved August 3d, 1881, in future no such bounty will be paid. Hereafter when volunteers are to be mustered into the service of the United States, they will atthe same time be minutely examined by the surgeon and assistant surgeon of the regiment, to ascertain whether they have the physical qualifications necessary for the military service. Lieut. Walter H. Stevens, of the corps of en gineers being declared a defaulter to the gov ernment, is dismissed. MOVEMENTS OF PRINCE NAPOLEON Ww=saTos, August 7 Prince Napoleon left Washington on a visit to Mount Vernon, but not reaching the French Minister's residence up to midnight, a report prevailed that he had been captured by the Se cessionists. It now appears that on returning 'withthis city at ten o'clock he stopped to dine with the French Secretary of Legation. The party met with no material stoppages on the way, and the only damage sustained was to two of the horses who were seriously injured by sun stroke. ARRIVAL OF REBEL PRISONERS, Patt.simpate, August 7 The United States gun boat Flag arrived at Fort Mifflin this morning, with thirty-six pri soners `taken from the rebel war vessel (formerly revenue cutter) Aiken ' which was sunk off Char leston by the Unitedd States sloop-of-war St. Lawrence, thinking her to be a merchant vessel, when the St. Lawrence gave her a broadside which sunk the pirate. Five of her crew lost balance, and were rescued by boats brought here for trial. 711.1; ARMY OF THE SHENANDOAH. SANDY HOOK, Md., August 6. - There were several alarms in camp last night, all arising from a discharge of musketry by a freahl y'arrived regiment, the Pennsylvania 29th. Cien.• Banks was in the saddle at 8 o'clock this morning, scouting around the country. Ho was indisposed yesterday, but is fully recovered to-day. The secessionists captured by Lieut. Col. Brown and party, of the New York 28th, are at General Thomas' quarters. They will be de tained as hostages and kindly toasted. & private of the Indiana 16th regiment was shot by a sentry last night, failing to answer rhe challenge. Gen. Banks has issued stringent ord,rs in re lation to promiscuous firingin camp and on the outposts. The propriety of this measure will be readily conceded when the unnecessary trouble arid alarm created is understood. .SAILING OF THE ARABIA. • 11 - Bosrorr, August 7. e 4'o* maj.l93rilidp Arabia sailed at ma t = 1 , ' derttiiiitotnitg• lot LiVeiVool via Thdi ce:Aliriiiiiad - finite will take passage •as " for-Liverpool.

Eight of the Federal troops wore killed, and thirty wounded, lie rebels lost forty killed and forty-four wounded. General Lyon took eighty stand of arms and fifteen horses and wagons. A body of U. S. Cavalry, two hundred and seventy in number, made a charge on the rebel infantry, said to have been four thousand strong and cut their way through them, and returned with a loss of only five men. The charge is described as most gallant as well as terrific. Several of the rebels were found with their heads cloven entirely through by the swords of our dragoons. The enemy retired during the night, and General Lyon took possession of the field. Another battle was momentarily expected, the enemy being in large force west of Spring field. The particulars of the fight will be transmit, ted as soon as possible. FROM FORTRESS MONROE. THE ARMY TO BE -INCREASED. HAMPTON TO BE OCCUPIED REFUGEES FROM FORT OREGON. Piratical Operations on the North Carolina Coast THR BLOCKADII RUN MiILY WITH IM PUNITY, Capture of United States Vessels Pirates Taken by the Wabash' A REBEL VESSEL SHELLED AND SUNK. Two Pirates Killed and Thirty-five Taken Prisoners FORTRESS Mor;RoB, Aug. 7 pen. Butler returned to Old Point this morn ing. Nothing has yet transpired as to his re maining here, but it is understood that the army at Fortress Monroe is to be greatly in creased. The General has spent the afternoon at New pport News experimenting with Hotchkiss' shells. Hampton will be re-occupied on the arrival of the first regiment from the North. The sailing frigate Savannah is being towed up the road and will proceed to Newport News to relieve the Dale, now ordered to sea. The crew of the bark Linwood, New York, thirteen in number, have just arrived on the Quaker city. The ark was wrecked on Cape Hatteras. They were picked up off Cape Henry. The Quaker city picked up this morning, near the capes, a small boat containing ten ship masters and seamen who had escaped from Fort Oregon, North Carolina. They give some startling intelligence of the doings on the North Carolina coast. At Hatteras inlet there are three steamers and a pilot boat privateer. One of them, the Gordon, run the blockade at Carolina and of the whole coast up to Hatteras inlet, ten days ago, since which time she has captured the brig Wm. H. McGilnery, of Bangor, from Cardinas, with molasses, and the schooner Pro tector, from Cuba, with fruit. The names of the privateers are "The Gordon" and "The Coffee," a side-wheel steamer, formerly running between Old Point and Norfolk, the steamer "Marion," formerly a Norfolk pilot boat. All of them are armed with rifled cannon. Those from Norfolk were taken by the canal to Al bermarle Sound. Newborn, North Carolina, - is the head quarters of these pirates. Ten gun boats are being col lected and mounted at Norfolk to be taken down the canal. Crews for them are being shipped at Newborn. The bark Glen, of Portland, with Government coal, was captured a week ago and taken into Beaufort, North Carolina. The refugees state that the Confederates scarcely regard the coast as blockaded at all, and consider the Quaker City the only vessel doing any efficient service against them. During all this time several gun boats have been quietly anchored at Old Point. The frigate W abash has arrived from off Charleston for coal and water, having been re lieved by the Roanoke. She recaptured the schooner Mary Alice, of New York, which bad been taken by the piratical schooner Dixie. The prize crew are now prbioners on the Wa bash. She also took the brig Sarah Star, bound from Wilmington to Liverpool, with turpentine and rosin, and sailing under English colors. The frigate St. Lawrence last week sunk the rebel privateer Petrel, (formerly U. S revenue cutter Aiken,) and commanded by Lieut. Grim shaw of the U. S. Marines. She fired nine shots at the St, Lawrence without effect,and re• ceived but three shells. Two of her crew sunk with her ; thirty-five are prisoners in the St. Lawrence. The Wabash accidentally ran into the gun boat Seminole but did little damage. MORE MASSACHUSETTS REGIMENTS. Bosmx, Aug. 7. The Mass. 14th miment, Col. Grew, dill leave for the South to-night.
