We are pained to see the announce ment of the great demoralization of our army at Washington, owing to the re oentniasstroni-difeat at Manassas. As ittng.ago Re - Tuesday we heard rumors ;#93x l Washington that the spirit of our 7 401diers was, broken, and that already they were exhibiting an unmistakable -diainalination again to return into Vir ginia, and that the opinion was freely expressed by men of considerable mili tary-knowledge and experience that "a million of men could not capture Rich mond." We regret moat profoundly to observe through the columns of the press that these rumors of demoralization are to a certain extent but too true. The rout was complete, and the soldiers are cast down and discouraged thereby. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says : There is no use of concealing the fact, however terrible it may be to realize, that thearmy of the Union, under command of General McDowell, has been completely routed. ' I endeavored to intimate the sad intelligence in my letter of yesterday; I had hoped, however, that subsequent ad- Viet* would have enabled me to say that the gallant, the superhuman conduct of our troops had met the rewards of bravery. Evetiaecount that comes, comes filled - - With disaster. Every eye is sad, and the • :exultation of yesterday has given place to #10&om and apprehension of to-day.— The present is one of sorrow, the future bas - but few . gleams o' hope. We have sent into 'Virgin ia the best appointed division of our grand army, we have fought the great. est battle ,ever fought on the Continent, and We have been not only beaten, but our army Bea been routed, and many of its best regi iiientstbholly demoralized. The narrative of ibis disaster will be my duty; you may Make your own contusions, and solve the terrible political problem it presents to the American people. We do not believe our troops lack courage, and that they are determined tosustain the government , we have not a particle of doubt. But a sudden and unexpected blow like that which came ti On the:country on Sunday last; like a timnder-clap in X cloudless sky, is well ' 'calculated to dishearten the bravest. Wa. do not believe this spirit will last. Areaotion will come and make our men bolder and more confident than ever.— They have now learned that fighting the • South is to be no holiday task. The country and the government has now learned that as General Scott said "they have heavy work before them." 1 t has been proven that too much haste has been made—that we have joined battle with the enemy before the requisite l i preparations were made. We have been beaten. But this is a war which is not to be decided by a single battle. Our army must now be educated in the school of battles. The soldiers will gain confidence in their own powers, as they are instructed in the art of war. Those who have been defeated must not be cast dciwn. Their countrymen are rally ing in thousands to their a9LI. The com mander-in-chief has said that they shall not again be marched upon the enemy until full preparations have been made to , meet that enemy on equal terms.— :The government must throw aside all fe w:frith:in, and see that officers are placed in oommand of brigades, divisions and reaiments,in whom the soldiers will have perfect confidence, and while all that indispensably necessary preparation is going on the war will be one of exhaus tion to the enemy ; and when the day of battles shall have fully come our sol diers, taught in their duties, and provi ded with all the munitions of war to render their onward march irresistible, 94 pip =Os increased so that their numbers shall be invulnerable, will march forth. confident in their strength, trusting in the skill and sagacity of those in command, and with strong arms and 4victoricrushearts will fight the battles of - their country with unflinching courage. T4e spirit of American, freemen will Asp above this temporary demoraliza 'lion, consequent upon an unexpected didlitit, and with new courage, and a determination, the army of the 'l9spublin,W4en again it girds its armor on, will "go forth conquering and to con- quer." -COL.

The secession papers like the Louis ville courier, from which we republish some extracts this,,lnorning, seem to think that the addinistratiOn ought to be convinced 'by the.result of the battle on Sunday that there is no use in at tempting to enforce - the authority of the government in the rebel States, and that the independence of the Southern Confederacy ought now to be acknow ledged. This is either a most foolish assumption on the part of the Southern ers, or else it must be taken as an indi cation that they are already very tired of the war. The South will find that the government is firm and determined, and that the North will furnish the men and the means to end this war, not by acknowledging the independence of the confederate States, but by a restablish ment of the power of the Union. REORGANIZATION ON' THE_ARI , The President and Secretary of War are vigorously at work reorganizing a powerful army. Within the last twenty four hours over 60,000 fresh men, with a number of batteries of artillery have been accepted. A number of regiments ave arrived, and every day will bring immense reinforments to the National Capitol. The response from every qua:- ter has been most gratifying and truly patriotic WICATMORELAND ()0., July 24, 1861. MR. EDITOR—You will much obligo a constant reader of your valuable daily, by answering tho tollowing questions : What is the distance from Washington City to Alexandria. thence to Fairfax, thence to Centreville, thence to Manassas Junction, thence to Richmond We answer our correspondent to the best of our ability, as follows : From Washington City to Alexandria S miles ; from A lexr ndria to Fairfax Court House, ; from Fairfax to Centreville, 7; from Centreville to Manassas Junction, lu; from Washington to Manassas Junction, 41 milee, Richmond is nearly due South, but a little Eastwardly of Manas sas, and about eighty miles distant by an air-line. LETTER FROM Vt ASIIINGTON WesuirloTol4, July 22, 1361 Dcar Post :—Tne inhabitants of the Federal metropolis were thrown into the most intense state of excitement at an early hour this morning by the appearance in ' their midst of a large number of troops whgm they had supposed were in front of the batteries at Manassas or in full charge after the enemy beyond that point. The cause of their presence amongst us was eagerly sought for, and each straggler as he dragged himself wearily along in search of quarters, foot-sore, heart•sore, hungry and begrimed with the dust and smoke of battle, was surrounded by an eager crowd and compelled to tell what he saw of yes terday's conflict. I have conversed with a number of the members of the New I",:rk S, , venty • Fir-A and Rhode Island Second regiments, both of which were in the hottest of the fight throuelee:t the day, and although their reports were various end conflicting in detail, they wer.' ail unanimous on ono point, and that Wht that we had received a very severe defeatot Bull's Run yesterday, and that our loss in killed and wounded is fearfully large.— Though nothing like an approximate esti mate can be made as yet, it is variously put down at from 2,800 to 8,60t1: Ido not think the latter number will cover the loss. The disasters of the field, however,were but small when compared to that which fol lowed—the stampede. From the regit mental clerk of toe Second Rhode Island regiment, who acted as Adjutant during a !portion of the engagement, I learn that for the most part the news brought in by the first arrivals, and which I presume was telegraphed you this morning, was greatly exaggerated, and that although a general stampede took place, it was not caused by any assault from the enemy, but from a panic which had its origin, in part, in the frantic efforts of some two or three hunt dred spectators, composed of Senators, M. C.'s, correspondents, sketchers, clerks and citizens, to get out of the range of a cer tain battery which the enemy bad very carelessly allowed to "go off " while pointed at our lines, a species of accident, by the way, which they permitted to occur very frequently throughout the day. It is significant of the overweening confidence of the "high ones" that passes were iesued to hundreds of persons during Friday and Saturday, on no other prest6xt thim that of affording them an opportunity to Wittiest; the fights and see how "seceshers" can run. Another cause of the panic was in the blunder committed by the Lieutenant of a battery of light artillery. lie was pro ceeding under orders to flank one of the enemy's batteries, when a detachment of their cavalry made a dash at him. Instead of unlimbering his guns and receiving them with grape or canister, he wheeled and fled from the field, leaving two of his guns. The Second Connecticut and Min.. nesota, which were exposed to the fire of the battery which the Lieutenant had started to flank, broke from the line and fled to the bushes, when the rout became generaL "Retreat! retreat:" was shouted along the line by the frantic soldiers, and even the undemoralized wore swept along by the torrent, and although the whole force of the enemy in pursuit consisted of one detachment of cavalry, the impression prevailed that the whole Confederate army of at least 100,000 men were at their heels. The Confederates themselves had no idea of the extent of the rout, as a despatch to New Orleans states that " the battle lasted until four o'clock p. m.,when the Feder ,l ists witlarelo from the field." General McDowell has shown himself entirely unfit for the important command which was-en trusted to him, ss his movements were but a series of blunders throughout the day. General Scott has shown his appreciation of his services by immediately depriving him of his command, and calling McOlel, lan to fill the place. Many of the minor officers behaved in a most cowardly man ner; deserting their regiments upon the first fire s -upon the pretext that the enemy's sharp,shooters wore pLiking them off. Ono regiment 'wefileh for half an hour exposed to the raking lire of the enemy without an officer above a sergeant. On the other hand there were these who performed the most daring feats of. brev , eq,nnd inspirited their men to charge after charge. Of this number, the gallant Col. Farnham, of the Fire Zottaves, (Ellsworth's) stands among the first on the list. It is accredited on all hands that this regiment performed the severest work of the day.. - They made three...different charges on ono of the bat. teries, and although they were successful in capturing it, they were compelled to re. tire for the wan . ; of support by Hankers, as. well as from the heavy fire which was poured into them from several batteries They afterwards engaged the Black Horse Guard in a hand to hand fight, and sue cooled in cutting them to pieces, not over „twenty of the whole company escaping. The Aotiaves lost in all between three and fOurtundred men and five or six officers. me t ! enlenel. wm reported killed, but is only wounded, though, it is reported, severely. Their lieutemmt.eolonel and ~`~l ~ ~ :~. - ' one of he majors were Rilir It is meal affecting to hear these brave fellows, who fought with such desperate ardor, talk of the pitiful sight of those who were left wounded on the field in the retreat One of them, a tremendous big fisted fellow, in relating to the the heart rending scene, burst into tears, exciaitning, "We had no thought or care for the dead ; but to think we had to leave our poor wounded boys to be bayoneted by the d—d Secessionists! Oh, it was awful, and I can't forget it I" In every instance the wounded were mer cilessly bayoneted, and of all that were left on the field it is presumed that not one escaped. Even the hospitals were fired into and burned by the cavalry in pursuit, and many of their own men, wounded prisoners, wte) were bring humanely cared for by our troops, shared a like fate with the rest. The Rhode Island regiment suf fered very severely, and the battery at tached to the Second regiment was taken by the enemy, with the exception of one piece. The balance were rendered useless by spiking the guns and destroying the carriages and caissons. It was reported at first that only nine of the artillerists es eaped, whereas they lost but nine out of the one hundred and two. Sherman's battery, which was reported captured, has just come In with not a piece missing. It is presumed that many other reported heavy losses will prove to be equally greatly exaggerated- The Fire Zouaves did not lose over four hundred, which leaves their number still seven hundred, instead of two hundred, as at first reported. Other regiments which are reported to have lost from one to three hundred, it is coal dently believed at headquarters, will prove to have suffered a far less considerable loss. It will be several days before the different regiments will be able to report the num ber and names of the killed and wounded. In the meantime how many thousands are in terrible suspense lest the name cf a father, brother or son may appear In that list. The officers known to have been killed are: Captain McCook, Second Ohio regi ment ; the Major and Lieutenant-Colonel of the Fire Zouaves ; Captain Gordon, Eleventh Massachusetts;, Colonel Slocumb and Captain Foy, of Second Rhode Island ; Colonel Slocumb, of Twenty-Second New York, and Colonel Fowitv, Fourteenth New York. Wounded—Colonel Tomp kins, Second New York ; Colonel Farn ham, Fire Zouaves ; Colonel Hunter, of the Regulars ; Colonel Corcoran, Sixty- Ninth New York ; Colonel Clark, Eleventh Massachusetts : Captain Rickets, Artillery; Colonel Lawrence, Fifth Massachusetts; Captain Ellis, Seventy First Now York, badly ; Major Lazier, Fire Zouaves, badly; . and Colonel Wilcox—reported killed— badly wounded. A great portion of the camp equipage thrown away by the sol diers and teamsters has been gathered up by the reserve force, and is now being brought in. The loss in small arms is set down at 7,000, and the artillery at twenty pieces. About eighty wagons heavily loaded with army stores, also fell Into the hands of the enemy, the teamsters b.aving cut their traces and stampeded along with the rest, when they could easily have brought cif nearly every wagon without any difficelty. It has boon raining heavily all Lilly, which ali, not a livie to the gloomy prospect around us. As the details of tae disaster lu our arms transpire I will erdeavor to furnish you with what ie reliable. Yours, AO- - - • • W A K WC 1111 NGS.

A Wisconsin Colonel bnhaved but little better. - THE FOURTH PFIURSY INA NI A But the palm of infamy must be given to the 4th Pennsylvania regiment, whose three months expired on the morning of the battle, and who took the disgraceful step of retiring toward Washington on the riforning of the battle. They wore met near the Long Bridge by regiments which were marching to reinforce the advance. BRIGADIER GENERALS Peter McCall of Pennsylvania, Rufus King of Wisconsin, and S. R Curtis of lowa, have been appointed Brigadier Gen. orals. Mr. Curtis, it will be recollected, during the Mexican war made a requisition on the Governor of Louisiana for 50,000 men. We presume that be is to operate on New Orleans. TIIE REBEL FORCE AT ANT) AIi3UT %lAN. An Alabama Captain, who was taken prisoner, declared, before dying of his wounds, that the forces at and about Man". ABM were 110,000. THE CAUSE OF THE P/N1( senator Lane of Indiana gives it as his opinion that the reasan of the panic was an order given to batteries to return to a certain point for ammunition, and this ap• parently retreating movement of batteries produced consternation and panic. By others, the order to retreat, which assisted to change the fortune of Sunday, is aserib. od to Col. Miles of the Army, who corn• mended the fifth division.

CO!. Ernstein, of the Pennsylvania 2.tith Regiment, returned to the battle-field about 11 o'clock on Saturday night, and brought off six pieces of artillery, which he delivered to the commanding - ofticer on the Potomac yesterday evening. The Col, reports that the field was clear, and not an enemy in sight. THE KILLED AND NVOUNDF.D The most wild and startling stories of the alleged immense number of our troops killed and wounded in the late disastrous action at Bull's Run and Manassas Gsp were invented by those of the men who were the first to run, and who, on reaching our reserves, naturally gave the most ex. aggerated stories of the dangers to which they had been exposed, and cf the extent to which they asserted our forces were cut up, as a justification of their own flight and unaccountable and uncontrollable pan ic. Investigations since made show that the estimates of our losses at first made, and which obtained general credence, are entirely beyond the truth, and that though we have to mourn the loss of several hun. dreds of our beat troops, we have by no means suffered a rout so complete as at first represented. Stragglers are continually coming in, and scarcely an hour passes that some dozens or scores of men, previously set down among the killed, or conceded as prisoners to the enemy, do not come into their several camps. For the reason that no regiment can exactly make up its tally of returned members on account of their wide diffusion among the varicus camps, it is impossible to got as yet a report of killed and wounded, of perfectly trust worthy correctness. But the following statement is carefully made up from such official returns as have yet been compiled, and from such other account from individ- uals as can be most depended on. It shows conclusively that the number of killed is by no memos so great as has been supposed, and that the number of missing is hourly decreasing. SLAVES SET TO WORKING BATTERIES AND DOING ALL ULAN' Y WOBK. Hon. Kennedy Marshall, of Pittsburgh, who was in the woods near Bull's Bun during the conflict, saw six slaves, who said they escaped from one of the rebel batteries. They said that the rebels have thousands of nogroes with them, who do all the work, cutting down trees, making fortifications, and working batteries; that several whole regiments are mude up of them, but so far have been kept in the rear, and not Foul in fight except to work the bat teries. While talking to them a company of cavalry dashed by, and the negroes screened Mr. Marshall from them by their bodies, and assured him that all the negroes would aid us if they bad a fair chance— that it took nearly an equal number of whites to watch them. NO PARLEYING OR FLAGS OF TRUCE-THE WAR NOW TO BR PROSECUTED WITD TUE W UOLE VIGOR AND POWER OF GOVERN- Up to this time the War Department have refused all requests for degs of truce, for the purpose of bringing off the dead bodies or the wounded. Cul. Cameron lies on the field where he died, at the howl of his column, as they charged upon a battery. The rebels have no doubt rifled the body, and niutilsted it so that It cannot be ident:.fiad. Ail the regiments offered will be accepted, and an immense cavalry and artillery force be pat In the ii old at once, WRIOTtiS OUR LINES DRAWN IN--ENEMY WITH IN REA( IL 1.4' WASHINGTON WITH HEAVY (•ANt7O l 4 Oar s are now drawn in to the orig inal points from which the enemy advanced to Fairfax. They only run out two ' , tiles from. Atexandriu. Our pickets and out posts will now no doubt be losrfully mood and butchered by rebel cavalry and realm:ten. 41he heavy siege guns, to throw shells coven millet:, will now doubtless be turned upon us. Washington can be hold against ull the force the enemy can bring. The expenses of the war is beginnng exercise apprehension among the people. When a few weeks ago it was estimated that the expenses of the Government were, and would continue to be a million of dol. lars per day, the more staid and econonii. cal among us opened their eyes in horrow at the seemingly enormous amount. It is now, however, believed that the actual expenses will exceed by one third the frightful estimate of two months ago.— Five hundred millions of dollars, it is now believed, is as little as wili answer the pur poses of the Government the current year. These sums seem large by comparing with the very moderate expenses of the past. A little examination, however, will show us that, with a debt of twice live hundred millions, we should still not be encumber ed in anything like the degree to which nearly every nation of Europe is burs cloned, nor oven in this same degree to which our fathers ware einbarressed at the close of the Revolutienary war. A slates ment of the debt expenses or the great powers of Europe wilt bilOW that our I,res. ent war expenses need not alarm lls.— (ireat Britain,with a population no greater than our own, has a national debt of ❑ear ly bur thousand millions of dollars, the interest on which alone amounts to $135,- 000,000 per annum. Her peace establish. client of army and navy costs her this year , quite five hundred millions. When she is at peace with all the word, she keeps on foot an army of over 130,000 men. France, with a population of thirty.five millions —five millions greater than our own—has now, though at peace with all the world, a standing army of 500,000 mon. Her people are burdened with a debt of one thousand three hundred and seventr-flve millions of dollars. To pay the interest on this debt consumes revenue to the an nual amount of eighty three millions.— Austria, with a population of less than thirty millions—since the separation of Italy—has a debt of nearly two thousand millions of dollars. She has a peace army of four hundred thousand men, and dares not go to war with lees than six hundred and seventy thousand. Spain, with a popu lation of fifteen millions—leas than half our own—has a debt of six hundred nail. lions, and supports an army, during peace, of nearly one hundred thousand men.— Looking at these figures, and hearing in mind that, with a population as great as that of Great Britain, we have a territory as groat as all Europe, cheap roads, an energetic and highly intelligent people, and many sources of wealth older nations have not, we cannot but conolude that a debt of even twice five hundred millions will give us little trouble. The Order of the Knights of the Gold The public have heard a groat deal of late years of an organization called the Knights of the Golden Circle, and the many stupendous things they were to ac. complisia. It was pretty well known that they were a set of filibusters,, and it was believed that they bad designs upon Mexi co, using the protection which they found in this contry to abuse the laws under which they lived. Any doubt as to the design of the organization is now removed by a publication in the Louisville Courier of all their mysteries, it being, a secret as sociation. It appears from this revelation that the Governor of Guanajuato, named Ponied°, has been plotting with them to betray his government and his Country,and invited these desperadoes into liexic), un der the pretext of colonization, but really to introduce a military force of 16,000 men into the country, to overthrow the government and assumeits reins. Another purpose of the order growing out of this design, was to promote the disunion of the United States, and to endeavor to establish in this country a monarchy. The members wore required to swear to do all ip their War Debts. en Circle. power to exterid , alaverrbittr Central America, to , acquire Cuba, and control the gulf of Mexico. No foreign born citizen of the United States was to be admitted in the Association; no Roman Catholic minister, and no abolitionist, and no one of the Catholic persuasion was to be admitted to hold any office of profit or bruit. Another obligation Was to assist ' any State invaded by abclitionists. The K. G. 0. are now very active in Eastern Ten nessee and in Kent icky, which they are trying to get out of the Union. The vaga bonds who compose it have so far not commanded much influence anywhere,and they will, doubtless, have work enough in the United States to prevent their benev olent designs towards Mexico, Central America and the Gulf Islands from being consummated. Jeff. Davis, with a perfect knowledge of the designs of this organize Lion, had the impudence, in his recent mes sage, to profess to be horrified with the deception practiced upon the people of the United States, by representing that the designs of the leaders•of the Southern Con foderacy were inimical to the liberties of the people of the United States. With his notions of the kind of liberty they ought to enjoy, perhaps they were not. THE serious loss of officers in the battle of Sunday proves how gallantly they trust have borne the brunt of the battle. To Consumptives.
