It is impossible for a citizen of the loyal States, to read the details of the rout of our army in the assault em Manassas Junction, without feeling humiliated. We are told, it is true, that the ac tual loes was but trilling, and would scarcely make a respectable set eff to a first class railroad accident. This may be all true, but to 1 can did , we lo not believe it. We do not believe that an American army of 45,000 men, would run j from the enemy, without a good and sufficient canse for so doing. The men who are trjing to cypher down our loss in killed and wounded "to the lowest figure, are doing but little to inspire loyal hearts, with confidence in tle " grand ar my," or the officers who command it. "Mother," wrote Francis I., after the elisastrous battle e.f r.,. ; n nil i.t l,, ir o.l l ; ! 1 a i li, an A 'eij uub j jki uvuvi. ill. cwi-i 1110 army bad f ..tight valiantly, and although tlcfeat ed, had reason to feel proud of the bravery and hcrohm they displayed in that elark and trying hour. It is no elisgrace to an army to retreat, after having done a!l that men could elo under the circumstances ; but it is elisgraceful to retreat with all the disorder e.f a crazy mob, bef ore the battle has amounted to even a respectable skir mish. We repeat, we elo not believe the reports of the killed and wounded we have received, al though some of them have evidently eminited from efticial sources. The men now in power at Washington, think they can sustain themselves kith the American peeple by te-lling thenj that our " grand army" was defeated with only the loss ef COO men, and that our soldiers ran like rats from a leaky ship, the moment they smelt gunpowder. For our part we do not believe the libel. We elo not believe that oui soldiers would retreat until they ha 1 elone all that men could do under the circumstances. The Administra tion may think it is sustaining itself, by giving currency to such a report, but by so eloing it is really disgracing itself, the county and army. It is not a difficult matter to account for our defeat under the circumstance?. The forward movement on the part of onr army was prema ture Wc had, even here in F.bensburg, enough to convince us that Manassas Gap was a position rendered strong by nature; that it was strongly fortified, and held by an army of at least 50,000 men, commanded by able and experienced fa cers. Gen. McDowell attacked this almost im pregnable position, with an army scarcely amoun ting to 45.000 men. Is it any wonder he was defeated under the circumstances. ? There is now enough on record to show that the battle was fought in obedience to the behests of popular clamor. Horace Greely, a coward, a fanatic, an abolitionist, a Foiirerite and an infidel, through the columns of the N. Y. Tribune, made the battle a necessity to the Administration. Gex. S oTT was annoyed almost to death by the cry of " forward to Richmond," which was dinn ed into his ears from every quarter. Abraham Lincoln felt that it was bis duty to gratify the whim of the man who nominated him at Chica go, and insisted in a rcry 7;iwl tray, and with all the blanduess of the man who smiles while be stabs to the heart, that the enemy's works at Manassas should be attacked and captured. Gex. Sctt, in an evil hour, hearkened to his com mand, against the elictates of his better judgment. The result was the most disgraceful rout and de feat recorded in history. It will doubtless be said that the assertion that Gis. Scott was forced into this battle against his will, is untrue. At first, although convinced of the fact, we did not think it could be proved. Put we have bow evidence to Ftistain it, which is uncontrovertible. The following extract from the speech e,f Mr. Lichards;on of HHne-is, in a debate which occurred in the House of Rcjirescn tatives on the 24th inst. clinches the whole mat ter. Read it carefully. Ma. RiciAnr.soN.I repeat that Gen. Scott had been forced to tight this battle. I will tell him what occurred yesterday morning. My col leagues, Messrs. Lo?an and Washburnc, and my-s-!!, wer present with the President. S-nti of War and General Scott. In the course of eonversitiou, Gen. Sett rem ukol, "I am the j biggest coward in the world" I rose from my seat.. "Stay," said the General, " I will prove it. I have fought the battle against my judg ment, and I think the President ought to remove mo to-day for doing it. As God is my judge," be continued, after An interval of silence, " 1 did all in my power to make the army efficient. I desire removal because 1 did not stand up when I could ar.d did not." I -stand here to vindicate Gen. Scott. I am indebted to the gentleman, from Missouri fr the compliment he paid me. I desire to sav f jt myseif I am here, the last of a generation.'mv father and grandfather having fallen beneath" the Hag f their country. I, t k, hive fought under its folds at home and abroad, and God "willing, there I will stand till the end of life, defending it against all foes. Mr. Wasiii it.xk. As my colleague lias re ferred to Gen. Scott's remarks, be might also al lude to what the I'resifent said. II r. Kn n.Ri son. I will do so. " Your con- versauon implies," saw trie rresiucnT, w o. Scott, " that I forced you to battle," to which 1 Gen. Scott replied, " I "have never serve! under j a Presie'cnt wlio has been kinder to me than you i have been." But Gen. Scott did not relieve the j President from the fact of the latter having forced him to fight the battle. Gun. Scott thus paid a j compliment to the President personally. J desire to say ot the I resident, 1 have known mm irom boyhood, if you let him alone be is an honest man, (laughter) but 1 am afraid he has not the firmness to stand up against the politicians around him. Our readers can scarcely fail in noticing toe cv.uive character of the reply of Gen. Scott to Mr. Lincoln. The President, in order to silence the clamor of the New York Tribune, indirectly insisted on a movement of the army, which the judgment of Gen. Scott condemned, and which resulted in a disastrous defeat. The blood of the men, whose bones now lie bleaching between Manassas and Alexandria, is on the beads of lb-race Greeley and the senseless demagogues who joined him in the ilI-t:m:J cry of " Forward to Richmond." Ik-race Greeley is the word man now living in our country, Jeff. Paris i.ot exeeptel. His course as cdit r of the New York Tribune, is a perfect type of the arch-fiend in paradise, whis pering into the car of Eve the words " which brought death into the world, and all our wots." Pram the commcr.ceme-jt of his career as a jour nali.-t up to the present time, be has proved that he is a one idea fanatic, who ignores common sense on all occasions. And yet he has con trolled, through the columns of h's paper, the public sentiment of the Northern States since the passage of the Nebraska bill in 1854. Tin re is not a radical Clack Republican in the Northern States, who dies not regard the Tribune as his political Bible, and accept as truth the ravhrgs of the fanatic who controls it. lie occupie 1 a scat in the Chicago Convention as a delegate from Orcg"ii, ai.d for the purp'-.-e ef sati.-fviiig a private grudge, succeeded in defeating Win. II. Seward, the father of the P.laek Republican party, and s-ecr.riug ti.e n initiation of the fa mous rail-splitter, Abraham Lincoln, for the Presid ncy. Mr. Line- In is naturally grateful for the favor received, and has been we'ak en-ugh to allow this bold and bad man to control him since his inauguration. If he had hearkened to the advice of Gen. Scott, Mr. Seward, Simon Camerom, instead ef marching and cout.ter marchiug in .'bediencc to the command ef Horace Greeley, the unfortunate battle of Mar.asses Junction wruhl never have I ecu fought. "Watch man, what of the night ?" is the question which will le asked lb by many an anxious heart. Would to God we could return a consoling an swer. Still the pure light elelays its dawning. Amid all the ' pomp and circum.-tar.ee of war," there bangs a silence and a fear ove r the country, and not a ray e f liht gilds the black night that envelopes the tuture. Not even the faintest streaks ef dawn brightens its edges. Yet while the eternal hope: ef fitedom remains, we will not elespair. All the men who control the govern ment, with the exception of General Scott, have been w eighed in the scale and found wanting, aud eve n he, in an evil hour, al!owe:d himself to be coerced into a movement which his judgment conde-mned. Put we belie ve hie is still enough of vitality in Union to preserve it. While we have lost confi lence in men, "in God is our trust," that gracious Being who has watched over eur destinies is a nation frm the first gun cf the Reveihifion, and who will, we hope, con tinue to " Shape C'ur cud.-, Rough hew them as we may." The Union, freighted with all that is dear to us as mortal beings, must not go elown iu this unhappy war. It must and shall be preserved. Tlic Late Battle. The citizens e.f the loyal State's were taught a lesson by the elis. strous elefeat if cur army in the attack on the enemy's works at Manassas, which we trust they will profit by. They must now feel convinced that the rebels will fight, and that they are well officered and armed. They must also i-dw feel satisfied, that idle boasting about our superiority over the rebels in numbers and bravery, will not save the Union; wid not answer aa a substitute foi wisdom in our rulers, rigid discipline in the army, and genuine patriotism and common Fonsc among the people1. Rigid discipline in the army will alone enable us to wipe out the disgrace of the recent humiliating defeat. Without discipline, our army, howe ver brave, is no better than a rabble gathered to gether by accident, btisineis, anger and curiosity. It is an easy matter for Gmgress to vote 500,000 men and $500,000,000 for carrying on the war, but it is by no means an equally easy task to organize a powerful, brave and well-disciplined army, that we can behold marching forward to meet the enemy, confidently believing that it is invincible. The best evidence we can have ol the ability of Gen. Patterson, as a military officer, is the fact that he has always commanded, in a re markable degree, the confidence of the old veteran, Gen. Scott. His bravery and skill, as everybody knows, saved our army at the battle of Cerro Gordo, in the Mexican war ; and all his move ments in the present struggle,- show the brave, prudent, and sagacious commander. If General McDowell, and those who pushed him forward, had been equally wise and prudent, we would not now have to blush for the inglorious defeat and rout of our army at Mauasscs. But of course, as long as Horace Greeley continues to malign Gen. Patterson, he wijl find plenty of malig nan's to re-echo his calumnies. All should not fail to read tLe advetti ineut of Peof.

To the EJilor of the Democrat and Sentinel : Sis : You hardly expect a cerrespondent, at this time, to draw your attention, or the atten tion of your readers, from the glorious achieve ments of our army at the seat of war. Virginia cerre?spondc-nts arc now at a premium. The de tails ef bloody engagements are eagerly sought and eagerly read. The full account of the vic tories ef the intrepid McClelbm through Western Virginia, and, like another Napoleon, his ascent and descent of the snow-capped Alleghanies ; the lively description of the pluck of the Pennsylva nians, under the veteran Patterson, along the Shenandoah, and their unrelenting pursuit of Johns:n, the rebel chief, and the immortal at tack on the re-bels by the grand army of the Potomac, under the clashing McDowell, would be truly interesting and c-fflctive. Scarcely less interesting would le the sweet language of the heart, the bewailing strains of the elear ones of these braves who fell in tho unconquerable le fence of Zouaves auel the terrible charge of the Sixty-ninth. "Dule and wae for the order, sent our lads to the Border ! The rebels, for ance, V guile wan the day : The Flowers of the Forest, that foucht aye the foremost.

But these sentiments do not show that "the blessings of yove rnment, like the dews of heaven' should be distributl alike vtpon the high and low, the rich and the poor." Our countrv lives by peace as we 11 as by war ; and we must pre pare for it. The cultivation ef general literature the elegant, as well as the useful, arts and sci ences cannot be neglected by our people. The government must teach as well as fight.

Prig.idier General Anderson, with whose noble elefence e f F rt Sumter every American is q-iitc familiar, was present during the exhibition at St. Francis' College, on the 27th of June, and expressed himself highly gratified at the proceedings. The Rt. Rev. Bishep Do menec, D. D., Very Rev. E. McMahon, V. G., and many e f the clergy, were present, as was also Senator Rice, of Minnesota. The exercises began ot an early hour, and no thing throughout the performance betrayed the violation of rooelesty, either in dress, action, or expression, er the tone and manner vf gxxl so ciety. The dramatic department was not as ex tensive as it usually had been, owing, it was said, to the disturbed state of the country, and the very short time the students had been pre paring dramas. One drama, though short, deserves special no tice. The plot belongs to our own time and nation ; and from the knowledge of moe!e-iy, unity an 1 incident that 3our correspondent was able to command, it appeareel no way unworthy the follower of a Sheridan. Original orations were more numerous than the dramas. They we:e suggested by the topics that now seem to absorb all the national at ten tion. The best orations were l3 B. Murphy, of Kentucky, and J. McDevitt. of Pittsburg. The former gentleman had the suspension of the habeas corpus for his subject. To prove his view of the case, he tjok frequent and copious draughts frem Blacksteme, and his animadver sions en the politics and philosophy of Sir William, though novel, te.ld that the speaker had sterling powers of reflection. The vocal music, by the junior tudents, was very pleasing. Master Joseph Fried, of Philadelphia, whose fine veiice seems fast develoj ing, received a good deal of attention from the audience. The orchestra, composed entirely of the students of music under their leader, Brother John, performed well its episodic part of tl:e exercises. At the conclusion. Gen. Anderson distributed the premiums to the students, anl afterwaids addressed them, telling them that, in whatever calliug in life they should find themselves, to re member the motto contained in "The Star Span gled Banner" "Iu God is our trust" and they are sure to be riht. 2- We are much obliged to the editor of the Uniontown Genius of Liberty for the very kind manner he is pleased to speak of our humble efL.rts to sustain the cause e.f Democracy iu this elark and trying hour, and his gratification at seeing the frosty sons e.f thunder a unit once merc.

Most of the literary papers published at the present time, ontaiu, every week, a column of replies to queries of corresponelents anxious in quirers after truth, who apply to the editors of the aforesaid newspapers to have all their difficulties solved, as confidently, as the refined Greeks, in ancient times rr paire-d to the oracle of Delphi on a similar mission. The answers gen erally show that our friends, the literary cditers, know everything, and a great eleal more, aud we are certain, that the perusal of those iu the Nev York LeJjer, for the period of one year, by a ''promising youth," could tiardiy fail at the end of that tiaie, in rendering him a perfect beau among the ladies, and a nice young man for a small tea party. Although we are nothing but a "country editor," a number of anxious inquir ers after truth, have applie-d to us, from time o lime, for the purpose of having certain eloubtful points finally settled. We have allowed letters of this kind to accumulate, until we have a draevcr full of them, and wiil now answer those which are in elanger of spoiling if not attended to immediately. Adeline Jesse, the father of David, and i Jessie, the flower of Dunblane, were not one and the same jrsonage. The difference in the er thography of the names should have convinced you of this.

After careful investigation, we are satisfied, that Mordecai is entitled to the glory of having been the first to recommend to mankind the use of small beer as a beverage in the place of intoxicating liquors. In this he has eh ne more for the cause of temperance, than Dow with his Maine liquor law, or Gough with his lectures. He is himself a living proof eT the correctness of his doctrines. At the age e.f sixty. four, he is a remarkably hale and vigorous man. that you would iie.t suppose had yet passed his fiftieth year. This he attributes to the fact that he never in his life drank anything stronger than small be-er, except four or five "snifters" ot brandy or whisky every day "for his stomach's sake," by the advice of his physician, a learned professor of the healing art. The remarkable increase ef small beer politicians recently, is an evMence of the universal dissemination of his doctrines. Omar.
