Wliat caused our Defeat ?
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.

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.
The prime o' our land, are cauld in the clay."
Miss Elliot.
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.
"Heie, measured laws and philosophic ease
Fix and improve the polished arts ef peace,
There industry and gain their vigils keep,
Command the winds and tamo the unwilling
deep.
Here, force ar.d hardy elceds of blood prevail ;
There, languid pleasure sighs in every gals."
Gray.
Laws are ma le for the benefit of Universities
and Colh-ites. The Alumnis stands in a legal
relationship with his Alma Mater ; and Gjlleges"
are honored, year after year, by the presence ef
some n b!e men. 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.

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. We assure him that the Democracy of
Cambria are now thereughly united, and that his
friend Pershing, and the entire county ticket,
will be elected by an old fashioned democratic
majority. Here, on these grand old Alleghany
hills, we are true to the Union and Constitution,
and are eleterrained to still keep floating the ban
ner of that glorious old party that has always
been true to the Union, and never gave aid or
comfort to the cause of sectionalism either North
or South. Friend Iioddy, we hope the Demo
cracy of Fayette will elo likewise.

before that time, our wife will accompany us. If
we don't she won't. Doubtful things, as Mor

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

a "country editor," a number of anxious inquir

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. Jes.e was an illustrious Isrealite,
while Jessie, the flower ef Dunblane, was a bon
nie Scotch lassie, whose beauty inspired scme
love-sick swain to write one of the sweetest love
songs in our language. We think it worth quot
ing in full :
" The sun has gone down o'er the lofty Benlo

While lanely I stray in the calm summer
gloaming.

Ixqi'ires. 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. We will answer your question in the
immortal wcr-ls of the immortal Oken, after which
we entertaiu no eloubt that the entire matter will

C7 We should have stated some time ago, that
the name of the Tost Office at Conemaugh station
in this county, has been changed from Pershing
to Conemaugh, and A. G. Crexks appointed Pest

Baltimore. July 2'J The O.IJ Feilov.
Hall, the jail and a few other Inildings in
Hampton, were burned yesterday by trooj Iu
apprehension of an immediate attack by the
secessionists.
Our troops were entirely withdrawn fro -Hampton
last night. Max. WtLcr now occu
pies Col Duryea's former eiuarters. A p.j;t
of the Hampton bridge Las been ds:iyed :n
order to prevent commuiiiciti..n with this si le
of the creek. TLe place is uot yet cceupkd
by the secessionists.
Capt. Pryan, of the Georgia Hussars, and
four others, came in yesterday with a flag e f
truce, relative to the baggage of Capt. Jerk-
ms ana tuc arti.t enurtkn. who were wcu - i - j
auu uiauu f'"fuu"5 uv:u tunic UIBU
ago. It turns out that they were met by
puny e auiuieur tojuieis iu iuem oiuer kl'Je.
The flaff was received by Captain Butler and
Lieut. Wiegcl, outside the eutrcnehments. A
proposition to exchange them for two Confed
erate soldiers was rejected," but arrangements
1 . . . . . 1 .1. i
were made to forward the bagae of the
wounded men. The flag of truce was doubt
less a feint for recocooitcring Hampton and
the vicinity.
A flag of truce came into Newport New
this morning wilt a proposition, giving our
troops twenty-four he.urs to leave, with the
threat, that iu case the place was not evacu
ated tbey would force us out. The 2un boat
Dale, twenty guns, at once went up from Old
Pomt. The Albatross and Penonin ul.n

gun boats at Old Feint, are ready to assist
should Newport News be attacked. Colonel
Phelps says that he can hell the place again?t
twice the number of his force, which now con
sists of 4 effective regiments. The entrench
ments are of a formidable character, and the
rebels vill meet with a uarni reception. Both
flags of truce represent that there is a very
large rebel force between Yorktown and Old
Point. The rebels have to-day been practic
ing from a battery at Willoughby's Point,
some five miles below Sewed's Point. Heavy
firing is now going on at Pig Point.
