Itamain dependence is upon ad- lrettieiaglgatronage, end when business is dull_ aditertising is also dull. But just =' hen the pecuniary receipts of news papers tweihe least, the reading public expect from themm more than at any other time. The eager appetite for news must and will be gratified no mat ter .who pays for the gratification. In exciting times like the present the circulation of newspapers largely in creases, and, as a consequence, paper bills and all other expenses become tregtendims. Our own paper, the 484 now circulates perhaps five UMW ea' many copies as ever it did 'before, at any previous period of its etiatence. This circulation is no benefit to us, for mere circulation does not pay first cost of a printed newspaper. In !ordinary times an extended circulation mad:dean paper to command advertising patronage, which is the exclusive source at profit: Now it is not so. We must seltopEpaperis to the . newsvenders far arak:naar at-the same price as before, twoiesiiiheing the ordinary retail price, sigh at our wholesale price we do not _average to get more than a cent for each paper. The news-boys sometimes sell at 'three or four hundred per cent. profit, but we have no share in this. To -business men we wish to make a simple suggestion, both for our own sake and theirs. If you want a good news paper givelt a small share of advertising even in these war Limes. IT WILL PAY. Our circulation is now very large, extending all along the railroads, east and west, and reaching almost every country town in Pennsylvania and Ohio. We do not ask you to go into a useless and extravagant system of advertising, but if every business man in the city would advertise now to the extent of five, three or even one dollar, we have no doubt he would experience a direct and immediate pecuniary benefit, and at all events; he would enable us to lay before hint each day a greater quantity and varietiof reading matter than it is pas sibltz for us to do under present circum retaA This is a matter worth thinking of. 1, newspapers are a general public benefit to a• large community like this, they mast sustain them liberally in times of pecuniary pressure as well as in Vines of prosperity. The benefit of advertising is a mutual one, both to the advertiser and publisher, and if our business men would make the experi ment with the Investment of a single dollareach, we believe the facilities of the Poat as an advertising medium would return them tenfold. Try it: Live and Ititc-liye should be every man's motto while this war lasts. GENERAL SCOTT. The statement that Lieutenant Gen eral Scotts condemned himself for allow ing the ,battle of last Sunday to be fought, is confirmed by the authoritative etatement,made on Wednesday by Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, in the House of Representatives. Ho said: "I repeat that General Scott has been forced. to fight this battle. I will tell him what occurred yesterday morning. My collmigues, Messrs Logan and Washburne, and,. myself, were present with the Presi dent Secretary of War and General Scott. Io the course of conversation, General Scott, remarked, am the biggest coward itrilieworld: I rose from my seat.— Issidsthe,General, will prove it. .1--have fought the battle against my jadg ment;:and Vita the. President ought to remove me to day for . doing it. As God is my judge, he added after an interval of silence, did ail in my power to make the army efficient.

" While all will regret that Genera Scott should have allowed any influ in;oo,lo control his military judgment, • all admire his candor in acknowl • edging •it, especially as it implies an os suist:imi that he will never again err as bp -skys, be has done in this instance.— Henceforth this war is to be conducted bfkoldiers, and politicians are to be kept. in their proper sphere, or their advice is to be unheeded. OUR WOUNDED. On. Tuesday morning Gen. McDowell dispatched his aid, Major Wadsworth, .vrithrl.flag of truce, to the enemy's lines, kffifoilol • with the duty of making the beitt'posible arrangements for the care of our wounded and burial of our dead, left .on the field.

As the smoke of the battle rises from ifanassas we get a clear VieV;(le re sult, and the lesson which it has taught will be one which will render the future of this war on the part of the Northern people,one of greater calmness, foresight rtpd judgment. treeps have behaved bravely for *to mostlart, when all the circum- Stances of the fight are considered.— There are many gallant things to admire, and fewer disasters to deplore, than were at first reported. A fter all,the enemy,by their own admis sions, have suffered more than we have. Beauregard admits "immense losses," and styles the retiring of our army "a repulse of the assault," not a victory.— It is evident thathis army was exhausted, and would not follow up the retreat of ours. ..-CITP~s_ PER S. It is clear from the facts of the battle already known, that we can beat the rebels in any open hand to hand en counter. They dare not meet us in the open field, but with all their "Southern chivalry" must fight behind intrench meats of the strongest kind, and with the best and largest ordnance in posi tions which have been chosen by men in their army,who are admittedly skilled and experienced engineers. In all the encounters where the chances were at all equal, the rebels yielded to the im petuous charges of our brave soldiers.— For the most part they seem to have kept within their intrenchn'ents, except now and then a sortie of cavalry. While our men faced their murderous batter ies they did not dare to show their faces until the singular panic, which struck our troops made them bold, to come out where no love of a fair fight could' pre viously entice them. But panic and all, our retreat was made in the face of tremendous and well-managed fortifications, and when it was known positively that the reinforce ments of the rebels were in number nearly equal to all the engaged pprtion of our army, our soldiers made a brave assault and were repulsed by an enemy of superior force. There was nothing dishonorable in that. The panic came afterwards, and prevented an orderly retreat, which would otherwise have ta ken place. Similar panics have occurred in all the civilized armies of the world, and there is no accounting for them.— After the battle of Solferino, as fifteen thousand of the French and Sardinian troops were bivouacked between Breccia and Castiglione, five Austrians, ap proaching to surrender themselves, caused the cry to be raised "the us trims are coming," and the whole fif teen thousand were taken with panic and fled for seventeen miles, killing numbers of their own men in their flight. Here is a parallel case. Our army bad also wou a victory, and nervous with ex citement after the occurrences of the day they fled, they knew not why. All things considered, if with our small army of undisciplined troops, against an almost, if not quite double number of the enemy, lutreuched as they were, if we had taken Manassas, it would have been a feat of arms which would have made the world resound like the taking of the Malakoff, or the charg 3 of the Six hundred. Manassas taken. and there would be an end to the rebel lion. Neither the North nor the South will deny this. The rebel chief made his great battle there. He had all his first rate officers, his best men, and the whole strength of his army against a single divi sion of our army, not half his equal in numbers and not prepared, as he was, in trenched, almost impregnable in a position of his own selection. Had he lost his stronghold the battle of the Union would have been won. But we did not take Manassas and the battle of the Union is yet to be fought. The enemy have done their best.— With desperate determination they have put forth their entire strength in this single engagement. The next time they meet the forces of the Union they will be overwhelmed, for this repulse has taught us the lesson that our enemy la not to be despised, and that we are not to have such an overweening confidence in our superiority as to rush impulsively into battles without sufficient means.— The lesson is one of caution, and at the same time the experience of our brave soldiers in this field, will give them that confidence in themselves which is only learned by trial. We know our enemy now ; we have tested his strength, his courage and his endurance ; we can judge of his propara- Conti ana his means of warfare,and when again we meet him we shall go into bat tle well prepared, and intelligently in- formed of what we have to do. We failed to take Manassas, but Washington lost Nov York, Philadel phia, and retreated across the Delaware. The failure has aroused anew the spirit of the nation. Gen. Scott will be fully prepared before he again advances, but when he does advance the panic will strike the rebel ranks—not ours. A CONTRAST AND A DIFFERENCE The Pennsylvania Fourth regiment, whose three months' term of service empired.on the eve of the recent battle deliberately turned tail and marched homewards. 'On the other hand the brave 'Sixty-Iginth (Irish.) whose time was up, insisted on going into the con test, where they covered themselves with glory ; and now that their ranks have been thinned by },ha balls of the enemy, they desire to remain. EXAMINATION OF OFFICERS. There is good reason to believe that an order will soon be issued requiring or recommending that all officers hence forth shall be examined by a Board ap pointed for the purpose by the War De partment, and the commanding General before receiving their commissiom. „sobi.

Greeley, in the issue of the Tribune for Thursday, publighes a long card over his own signature, to set himself right on the record. It is uphill work, for the damage is done, and no exertions of his can repair it. Individually, Horace Greeley is but one man, and, as Toots would say, among the millions oneman is but an atom, "of no consequence." But the 73-Lbune is a paper which has had a vast influence over the popular mind of the North, and for its influences, good or bad, Horace 0 recley has held the position of responsibility. The benefit of his individual disclaimer he is entitled to, so fa: as it is worth any thing, but the evil which the tribune has done, and which he can never re pair, he must still be held responsible for. The Tribune went, oh in its mad course,until the voice of outraged popular, sentiment reached its ears in tones of thunder, and Greeley was silent until he heard that thunder and began to fear the lightning. Now Horace Greeley conies in with his disclaimer, and conies down to his level, but he apologises as Horace Greeley, not as the controlling editor of the Tri• We copy Mr. Greeley's card entire, as one of the greatest curiosities of this day and generation, when newspaper editors say and do all sorts of wonderful things. It is as follows : Just Once. Au individual's griefs or wrongs may he of little aceount to others, but when the gravest public in. Wrests are imperiled through personal attacks and the eoarseat imputations of beset motives, the as sailed, however humble, owes duties to others winch cannot no disregarded. 1 propose here to refute months of persistent and euvenomed de famation by the statement of a few facts. I am charged with having opposed the selectir of Gov. Sewer,' tor a place in,Proselent Lincoln's Cabinet. That is utterly, absolutel v lalse, the Presi dent himself being my witness. I might oell many others, but one such is sufficient. I am charged with what is called "opposing the Administraison" because of that selection, and various paragraphs which have from time to time appeared in 'lnc' Teraerre are quoted to sustain this inculpation. The simple fact that not rate of tho, paragraphs was cipher written or in any icier atryjested or prompter! by use, suffices for that charge. It is time—l have no desire to conceal or be ,'tile it— that my ideas as to the genera! conduct of the War for the Union are those repeatedly [expressed by myself and others through Tits THIBITAII 7 and of course are not those on which the conduct of that war has been based. It is true that I hold and have urged that this war cannot, muff not, be a long one—that it must be prcsecuted with the utmost energy, promptness and vigor, or it will prove a failure—that every week's flying of the Secession flag defiantly within a day's wale of Washington renders the suppression of the revolt more diffi cult it no: doubtful. it is true that I think asGov ernment that begins the work of putting down a rebellion by forming „ camp of instruction," or anything of that sort, is likely to make a very long 100 of it. It is true that I think or r obvious policy, under the circumstances, would have been to be courteous and long-suffering s toward foreign powers but resolute and ready to our dealings wits armed rebels; and it seems to me that the opposite course has been taken. But the watchword "eon. ward to Richmond!" is not mine, nor anything of I.ke import. I wish to evade no responalni ity, but to repel a personal aspersion. So with regard to the late article urging a change in the Cabinet-- While I know at some of the teat material in the country enters into the composition of that Cab ' ins', I yet feel that changes miebt be made therein with advantage to the public service. Yet I did not write, and / did not intend to have published, the article eidllng for a change of Catnnet, which only appeared through a misapprehension. I shrunk from printing it in part because any good effect it might have was likely to be flout:aimed by the very course tv hieli has been taken— that of asSail• mg me as its supposed author. I have no desire in the premises but that what is bri4t foe the country shad be done. If the Public pules that this great end—an energetic and successful prosecti ion of the War--will be most surety subaerred by retaining the Cabinet as it is I acquiesce in that decision. The end being secured, the means are to ma utterly in different- I wish to tie thee (icily understood as not seek ing to be relieved from any responsibility for urging the advance of the 'num ',rand Army into Virginia though the precise phrase e Forward to Richmond"' is not mine, and I would have pre ferred not to iterate it. I thought that that Army, One Hundred thousand strong, might have Lem in the Rebel capital on or before the 20th instant, while I felt that there wore urgent reasons why it elouid be there if possible. And now, if any one imaames that I, or coy one connected with Tan Teams; ever commended or imagined any such strategy asf the ISLIOCIIIe4 of barely Thirty Thou sand ot the one Hundred Thesuaand Union Volun teers within fifty miles of Washiagten against Ninety Tbousand Rebels enveloped in a labyrinth of strong intrenchments, and unrecoonoitered masked batteries, thee demonstration would be lost on his closed ear.

He seems to have none to speak his praises; so if there le any thing to be said in his behalf, I will maks an ex cesedon in his favor. Other than this, the hubiect is closed and sealed. Correspondents and report ers may state facts, but must forbear comments I know that there to truth that yet needs be utter ed on this aubleet, but this paper has Cone its full share—all that it ought., and perhaps more than it could afford to do—apd henceforth stands back for others. Only I beg it to be understood—once for all—that if lees than half the Union Armies direct ly band are hurled against alt the rebel torcea that could be ooncentrated—more than double their number--on ground specially chosen and strongly fortified by the trailers. Tim Tamest. does not approve and should not be held responsi ble for such matiessea. Say what you will of the past, but remember this for the future though we keep silence.

WAsuikruTozi, July 24, 1861 Dear Post :—The confusion which reigned supreme among the great majority of the troops on Monday and yesterday, has begun to disappear and something like order is being restored, although the streets are still lined with straggling soldiers, from at least twenty different regiments, who have not succeeded, as yet in making out their exact latitude. To use one of their own expressions, they have not "struck the ground yet." Much unne. cessary delay is experienced in getting the mon IT . ..La their quarters on account of the inactivity and ciktzelennep of soma of the officers in not taking the proper 4ps go get the men together. 4. great number of the regiments encamped on the Virginia side had t:4 40'ra camp, and were, of course, well provided for on their return. Others had Moved their tents and baggage to Centreville, and when the order to rat treat was issued, they were directed to deR stroy, all that could - not be brought away without endangering their progrem with very few exceptions the troops did not s top aufficier t length of time to deitroy anything, t.! 10 14,gb in many instances every thing was left beittfl Some ten or twelve regimena returned in this cd7_4ltion, and were mrtiedfateay brought to the city ;:.":1d are quartered in various places, wherever convenient room calibe found. They will all be fully re , €sdlped ins - few days, and go into rep agisiri. The Rhode Island . 2nd i%* ! , ant lost e,ll Ow, ir ,.,, Figkokitterz -hut one Owe, nearly aft their' bOMS SOU all their camp equipage. Gov. Sprague in a speech to them yesterday told them they would all be re=placed in lees than a week's time, and they say he has never yet made them a promise that ho did net keep. The Governor's bravery on the field of battle has endeared him to hls soldiers more than ever. He commanded the battery in person, and waved the colors and cheered his men incessantly. The tag Was pierced with twenty balls while in his hand, and his horse was killed wider him. It id a fact worthy of notice that there has been a far-less amount of drunkenness and bad behavior on the part of the soldiers than might natural:) , have been expected to follow such a disorganiz2d and confused state of affairs. They annoyed the secession portion of our community somewhat by their persistence in occupy. ing their door - steps and cellar doors, as to them, comfortable and'convenient places for sleeiting ; but, with very few excep tions, they have abstained from excesses, and even the Fire Zouaves, who have a notoriety, to a remarkable degree, fur all sorts and descriptions of outrageous pro* ceedings, did not tarnish the honor they have so recently and so well won for them selves by any excesses worthy of note.— About noon yesterday some ten or a dczen of them observed a squad of cavalry bringing in some rebel prisoners, when they attempted to shoot them, but were promptly prevented. The brutal conduct of the rebels in bayoneting our wounded, on the field and in the hospitals, was the reason they assigned for the attempt. It is now confidently asserted at fie td. Quarters, that the rebels began to retreat with their main body towards Manassas Junction, at about the same time that our forces commenced to retreat towards Fair fax. This gains some credence from the fact that a portion of the New York Bth, bivouacked at Centreville on Sunday night, and no portion of the enemy had advanced to that point, up to the time of their leav • ing early the next morning, thus showing that, oven after they had been informed by that portion of their cavalry which charged on our retreating forces, they were not prepared to take advantage of cur woful condition. It would appear that the two armies came together with such terrific force, that it produced a simul taneous rebound Guth wai rn A flag of truca was s nt to the field of battle yesterday, for the purpose of arrang ing for the bringing off of the wounded.— The reply of Beauregard was that the w,minded would he well cared fur, and permission to allow the ambulances to go un to the held to bring off the dead and wounded was not granted. Col. Wilcox, of the Ist Michigan, is not among the killed as at first repertcd. He was slightly wounded, ani is now a pris oner at Richmond. Lieut. Ricketts, of the regular artillery, who was also reported killed, is a prisoner, and only slightly wounded. The Penn.'s 4th, from Montgomery county, which was attached to Blincker's reserve, left last evening for Harrisburg, their time, three months, having expired on Thursday. They say they will immedi ately reorganize as a three years' regiment and return. The New York Bth and New Jersey lit, 3d and th regiments (first brigade) have also served their three months, and will leave this evening on their return home. The first named was in the battle of Sunday„bat suffered a com paratively small loss, probably 30 in killed, wounded and missing. These four regi ments have boon actually engaged over since the occupation of Virginia by our forces, in the construction of the firmida ble fortifications on Arlington Heights, and have performed in that time a prod'. gious amount of labor.' They all express a determination to return as three years' men. No troops have arrived from the North within the past week, though it is said that 16,000 from Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts, will be hero in three days time. Gm Scott has expressed himself as not in the least alarmed for the safety of the Capitol, and I do not, there fore, apprehend that troops will be rushed in hero any faster than they can be dis posed of, though in sooth, if our generals persist in facing masked batteries, they will need to be brought in pretty rapidly, for they may all be disposed of in that way in a very short time. I think, however, that Capt. Greeley's war policy has been "played out," and that we will have in future less sanguinary conflicts, though more successful ones, Yours, WIGGINS WAR RUMBLINGS Congressman Ely is still tu:s.siug. It now seems that the Federal troops do not occupy Fairfax Court House, but that the line is re-established at Alexandria. ItETIEL ATROOTTiE6 Tho report. that the rebels shelled and burned Sadley Church, which was used as a hospital by our troops, and known to be so used, is confirmed. One of the officers in command of tho rebels that came up the mad on which some of the wounded lay, was heard to say, "Bayonet every son of a that wears a red shirt." This inhuman or der was obeyed, although many a poor fellow, summoning all his strength, bog ged for life. CONDITION OF THE REBELS. On the road from Bull's Run Ser geant :Mizter, of Compaq F, Massa chusetts Fifth, an intelligent Bostonian, overtook two negroes, who said they were slrves and had been employed as cooks for the 2nd Alabama regiment. The rations which they prepared were corn, for hoe-cakes, pinkled pork, and smoked shoulders. There was plenty of hard bread, but it was kept back for times of emergency. Ono of them de clared ho knew of his own knowledge that the Quartermaster of the rebel army served out on Bunday morning rations for 91,000 men. The battle was conducted within their observation in •this wise : every regiment after it bad been taken to the front and had delivered its fire, was withdrawn from the field and a fresh one substitutea, the forxper in some eases returning after' it had time to close up ranks and reload. Only men ,sough were left at the Junction to work the guns. One of them oounted forty wagons full of dead • passing about 8 o'clock. lie says he saw Beauregard's horse shot under him, a fact which has reached us iu the rebel telegram to Richmond. The uegroes heard the opinion freely expressed that with the loss of the Junction all was lost. If it was im possible to make a stand there, it was impossible apywhere, and the impression prevailed thlit Beauregard was the great reliance of the rebels. Sergeant Mister parted company with these f4gitiye slaves, who wore also bound to Washington, before he arrived here. OUR. PICKET GUARD DRIVEN IN Early Wednesday morning, the picket guard of the New York 24th, at Falls Church, 22 in number, with a captain, were attacked by about 40 Secession cavalry, and driven in. Half a dozen o'ffoto were exchanged. No one was in j arid 'on ow*. • The Semis:ion pickets are within five 'miliiit of torou the . Columbia road. STOPPING TUE WAR STAMPEDE. When the panic-strieken crowd-turn- 1 ed for Washington, and the foremost of them had got past Centreville, they were headed off by Senators Wade and Chandler, Representatives Blake, Rid dle, and Morris; Mr. Brown, sergeant at-arms of the Senate; Mr:Eaton, of De troit; and Thomas Brown, of Cleveland. These gentlemen, armed with Maynard rifles and navy revolvers, sprang sud denly from their - carriages, and present ing their weapons, in loud voices com manded the fugitives to halt and turn back. Their bold and determined man ner brought most at that point to a stand still. Many on horseback attempted .to dash by them, and had their horses seized by the bits. Some of the fugi tives were armed, and menaced these gentlemen; and one, a powerful man, supposed to be a teamster, shot Mr. Ea ton through the wrist, as he held his horse by the bridle rein. None, how ever, were permitted to pass, except an army courier, who exhibited his des patches. Mr Wade and his party held the crowd until the arrival of the Sec ond New Jersey Regiment, then on its way to the battle ground, the colonel of which turned bamthe flying soldiers and teamsters. Two or three officers were stopped and turned back. This check, though finally overcome, was creditable to our Senators and their associates. REORGANIZATION OF THE ARM - - EIGHTY THOUSAND VOLUNTEERS AC CEPTED. The most vigorous measures are be ing adopted by the War Department for a thorough and complete reorgani zation of our army. Old systems will be changed to practical modes for the better management of our forces, by pro , idinc , reliable officers. To this end, the Secretary of War issued . a general order on Monday, that all officers of Regiments will be subjected to exam ination, by a board of military officers to be appointed by the Department, with the concurrence of the Commander-in- Chief, as to their fitness for the posi tions assigned to them. Those found incompetent will be rejected, and their positions will be filled by competent offi cers that may have passed an examina tion of the Military Board. Up to twelve o'clock on Wednesday, nearly eighty thousand men have been accepted, and an at this moment be ing marshaled into service all over the North. Many are now iu motion on their way to the national capital. The energy and the well-directed ef fort; of the War Department and the General-in-Chief have done much to re store confidence. The prompt appoint ment of General McClellan, who is now on his way here to command the Grand Army has given unbounded satisfaction, and created great enthusiasm among the soldiers. They are worthy of being led by so great a general as McClellan, who has recently given such decisive proofs of his great abilities. Who gave the Order to Retreat. The Washington Sear says: We are assured by officers of standing who know the facts in the case, that the order to retreat was not given by Col. Miles, U. S. A., as alleged, nor could it be given by him, as he had command of a reserve force, and knew nothing of the order to retreat until he saw regiment after regiment stampede past his posi tion. -CormamAziots.—The Senate has unanimously confirmed William B.
