Our army h?3 iimnortalizo J itself, according to all the account? of the battles fought on the histo ric grouutl of Bull run Friday, from daylight to dark, and renewed yesterday. The official order of General I'opc to Major General Hallt ck, which we publish in anotner column, gives the story briefly and graphically, and, as snbstnntkted by the detailed accounts which we present to oui readers to-day from other sources, furnishes a complete description of these eventful battles, the result of which has been to discomfit the ene my and place him in a trap for which he was not prepared. Instead of out9auking Gene ral Pope, as Jackson designed, he ha. foaud himself, after two days' hard fight ing, surrounded by the forces of GeneraL McClellan, Pope, Burnside, McDowell and Sige!. Roll run has been again tho scene of a sanguin ary conflict, but this time it has proved the scene of triumph for tho Union arms. It is true that the field wa- won at a great nacriitce, our loon being put down at eight thousand men, sad that of the enemy at fully double that number, while the amount of the rebels captured is considerable, though not yet fully ascertained. The movement of the rebels was a bold and daring aflitir, and wo may well congratulate oar generals upon the skill and energy which converted what wpa designed to be a successful advance upon the uatioual capital into a decided defeat of Jackson's forcea'aud an on mists keablc victory for the Uniou armies. The two maps wuich we give to-day wiii illustrate the scene of the first and the recent battles on the memorable ground ef Bull run. The wants of the wounded in these conflicts will be promptly attended to. TLc employes of tke different governm nt departments at Washing ton to the number of nearly one thousand havu, at the -mggestion of ths War Department, started for ths scene ,of action to act as nurses. The physicians of Philadelphia with Christian prompti tude have also volunteered almost to a man to procoed to the battle field, and render aid to the suffering. So doubt the medical corps of the ariuy will be reinforced from other quarters also, and ths sick and wounded of our gallant army will quickly reouive ill tho attention they rcquirt. Our intelligence from other quarters does not assume any very interesting complexion. Th nsws from Virginia absorbs ali the interest of *he hoar.

The Crowning Victory ot tits WaroTh* Second Great Bottle of Ball Ran. We have the supreme satisfaction of con gratulating our readers this morning upon what we ac cept. from the (bets before us, m the crowning Union victory of the war. The old bat tie field of Bull run haa been im mortalized. The conflict of Friday *nd yester day on that memorable Held completely eclipses the comparatively small affair of July 21, 1861. In that battle, under General McDowell, our forces actually engaged did not ex ceed 11.000 men, and our losses in kiHed ;ind wounded were 1,480 ; while, with some 27,000 men in the fight, the rebel loss (Bean regard s report} was 1,593. In this last battle, on the same ground, our forces engaged could hardly be less than 76,000 veteran soldiers, and the rebel ar-my was doubtless fully up to this figure, including raw recruits, if not considerably beyond it. Our losses in tlss first da^ 's fight are roughly estimated by < .>wral Pope a* not less than eight thousand hilled and wounded, whila he tbink- the rebel loss two to our oue. The casualties of the -e-cond day may have been greater or less I hey have not been repoited. It is manifest* however, that in desperate fighting, and in tbs ggregate of killed and wouuded on both shies, this second great and sanguinary battle of Cull run w ill eclipse even the two days' bloody conflict at Plusburg Landing. We acccp' the result, in advance of a positive announcement, it* n crowning Union victory. We think there can be no mistake about it, from the decided and satisfactory results of the tii-f day. at the clo*e of which the eneiuv were driven from the field, and "great captures" f the extent of which he could not form an idea, were made by Geueral Pope. 'I he first battle of Bull run, bad it resulted in a decisive Lnkm victory, would have virtually ended I'd* war a year ago; this second and much greater buttle, if a crushing rebel defeat, uh we believe it will turn out to be, puts an end to the hopes of tb* rebels on the very field where they were fir.-t inflated iom a delusive conviction of ultimate suecesa. The victory of Bull ran of July a year ago was the i;;est deplorable disaster 'hat could l ave happened to our rebellious "Confederate states."

V.< ...?p< bow. ? i ti... what we might have ,1 jcc'mpr. -he I 1 'he Union and for the South at Bull run . y . .<g'> w vs accomplished tb?'re yesterday : that the result virtually enda the wr.r. and opens to* way for the reclamation of every revolted state without ranch additional destruction of human life, property, capital or labor. We remember 'hat our first reports from the Bull run buttle of last summer led us f,e prema ture rejoicings over the result; but all the eir c-imstMtes in regard to this last grand battle point so strongly to a decisive victory that we cannot altogether repress tbe inclination to an tldpate the report of the llaal result.

Ij tbet rebel army ctuvbiutf dofeav Thr Kuigtita ot *Ue UoWlrn Oliele. We publish? this morning a long and seml otliciat account of an organization kuewn as ti n Knights ot the .iolden Circle. the ob jects of thin organization are said to be to throw obstacle* iu the way of the government, ami to givo aid and comfort to the rebellion in every possible w ay. The exposition which we publish is from the Cairo correspondence of the Chicago Tribune, and purports to be based upou the sworn affidavits of responsible par ties. The cerenioules, signs and grips ot the order are assumed to be fully explained, and the arrest of a member of Congress and of several other prominent oitizens of Southern Illinois is reported. On the whole, the exposi tion in question is very curious, absurd and in teresting, and will well repay perusal. It strikes us, however, that the attempt to represent this so-called Order as a great con spiracy against the government is silly and per nicious. In our opinion, the Order of the Knights of ths Golden Circle is as complete a humbug as the Order of the Sons ot Malta, and the two orders very much resemble each other in their signs, grips and ceremonies. Both of these orders were devised by dissipated fellows, with the object of obtaining plentiful free drink* The pretence that the Knights of the Golden Circle originally intended to filibuster Central America into the Union is just as gee**, a sham and delusion as the pretence the Sons of Malta designed to filibuster Cuba into the Union. We know all about the Sons of Malta now, and its members freely brow, since the Order has been squelched, that their intention was merely to have a little fun, " sell" a few friends, and indulge in oys ters and champagne at the expense of the initia tion fees. The Knights of the Golden Circle had no better or worse intention. It is perfect folly to represent them as conspirators and rebel sympathizers, and to give them the credit of widespread organization, powerful support ers and numerous adherents. The exposition which we reprint seriously states that the Order is an organized plan to foment rebellion in our midst, and to encourage armed resist ance to the authorities. It charges that the leaders of the Order are in direct communica tion with the rebels, and that they are armed by the rebels and send recruits to the rebel army. It states that the Knights are sworn to resist the draft and the tax, and have their generals, captains, lieutenants and other officers, who drill them for this purpose. It details the most absurd signs, grips and passwords, but says that, " though absurd, they are not the less likely to be true." It represents that signs are agreed upon by which Northern and .Southern mombers of the Order shall recognize each other in battle and designedly overshoot each other, and by which, when making a bayo net charge, the Northern Kniglita shall signify their intention to surrender as prisoners without striking a blow. Now, if all this trash were not pernicious to the government, were not hurtful to the Union cause, and were not a great hindrance to enlistments, It would be too non sensical for notice. It w ill ho observed, however, that only abo lition journals?like the Chicago Tribune and New York Post- indulge in this sort of Hedition, and that the newspaper* and the men whom ihey charge with connection with the Order are uniformly democrats. Some tune ago the abolition journals made such u hubbub about the matter that Secretary Seward was se duced info writing a foolish letter to ex Pre.ddeut Pierce, asking hini if he really be longed fo such an organization. . Of coarse the ex-President, like any other gentleman, knew nothing of the Order except through the news papers, and returned a most polite but decided negative to the .Secretary's inquiry. We are glad, however, that this circumstance did not wholly silence all mention of the Order, be came we think that Ibis is a very proper occa sion to summarily extinguish a real conspiracy again* the government which the charge* against this Order merely conceal. In other words, we believe that the fn*s raised about the Knights of the Golden Circle La simply another ?hrow?l dovice of the abolition organs to divide the North and hinder enli-tiucnts. Here are newspapers seriously stating that a great con spirney against the government and in favor of Jell. 1 Hi via exists throughout the loyal States, and,numbers its conspirators by thousands. Is not (hi* calculated t<> afford aid and comfort to the enemy ? Here are journals solemnly repre senting that the great mass of democrats and the great majority of democratic newspapers in the North are secretly sworn allies ol the rebels. Is not this giving comfort to the ene my and attempting to divide and weaken the North? Here are journals deliberately stating that, thousands of our soldiers aro ready and willing to lay down their arm* and surrender to the rebels. Is not this giving aid and com fort to the enemy ? Here ar- journals not only admitting the i>ossibility and probability of re sistance to the diaftand the tax, but actually announcing that preparation of a gigantic character aro already made to support such resistance with arms. Is not this aiding and comforting the enemy and embarrassing the government!? And are not all such statements its tho -f to which we refer directly in violation of Secretary Stanton's order prohibiting all writing and speaking calculated to discourage enlist meats: There can be but one answer to thee questions, and our special provost mar shals ought to make that answer sufficiently peremptory and emphatic The whole truth of the matter is. that the abo. lltiouists and republicans are now very greatly disturbed in regard to the coming Congressional el?vtinns. They very much fear that they aro t<> be -euudly and effectually thrashed, and wo hope that their fears may prove wall grounded. It is fur tliuf reason that they aro so very fond, just now. of calling every man a traitor and a rebol sympathizer who does not agree with and vote with them. It is for this reason that they are boldly representing an organization of bummers, like tho Knights of the Golden Circle, as an armed conspiracy of democratic politicians. It is for this reason that they re. peatedly charge that democrats, now fighting for tho country which abolitionists stay at home and avail, arc armed opponents of the draft and the fax. It Is for thij reason tha'' some of our soldiers, and even some of our rnajor'generals, are accused of favoring tho rebels and desiring to be defeated by tooia. It is ail an old electioneering dodge, revived under new circumstances; but it is a dodge which is very injurious to our oau-e, very hurtful to enlistments, and which will be, if our officers do their duty, very danger ous to those wh?- ?ve oonc <)! and ur# sr.", tiling't Uovernuirut Inttrlrrrurf W UU (li? N*m>. |>*|>rr l(c|>orIrr?. Never d'd the government commit a greater b'uuder tliua iu permitting interference witli tbe newspaper reporters in tie legitimate ex ercise of the'.r profession, in transmitting injei ligence of the events of the war. It is true that tbe reporters of some of the radical journals have abused the right to publish war news by prematurely disclosing movements of troops, and thus giving information to the enemy. But these men ought to have been punished, and the journals ought to havtP been punished that inserted their despatches. But their orirainality is uo reason for placing a ban upon the whole press, contrary to tho letter and spirit of tbe constitution. This is only doing injuatioe to the people and to tbe administration itself. In our system tbe people have a right to know all that transpires. To conceal even disasters from them is as oontrary to all the theories of our form of government as it is to sound policy. Tbe true plan is to let the report ers alone. Their interest and the Interest of the papers they represent are to publish the truth. They may make mistakes now and then; bat they will soon Correct themselves: and competitiQH gad publio opinion would force tt)? ?*08t vicious journals to give faithful ^counts of the great events In which the na tion is now engaged. To exclude the press from reporting the battles of the war is con trary to the genius of our institutions and cal culated to engender the darkest suspicions. What is the result now t The people have no confidence in the despatches from the seat of war, and " false as a bulletin" is fast becoming a proverb among us. Panies and stock gam bling are among the fruits of this policy, and it has proved highly injurious to the govern ment in every way. When the truth is kept back the people naturally imagine the worst. If the truth of a disaster were told promptly the effect would not be injurious. The public would rise to the occasion, and all would go well. But treat them with distrust, and what can be expected in return t Treat them with confidence, and generosity will be the result. Why should a government, con scious of ito own integrity, act as if it were afraid to let the people know what was done or suffered in the people's name ? The people are sovereign, aud they have a right to information; and no man, be he high or low in office, ought to conceal it from them. The newspaper is one of the essentials of an American citizen's ex istence. To deprive him of the news, espe cially where matters of the most vital interest to him are involved, is certainly not the best way to make a government popular or to retain for it the confidence and respeot ef the nation. A. T. Htkwart kor Governor.?We lately nominated Mr. Stewart for Governor of this State, in opposition to political hacks of every color. By reference to an article from a con temporary in another column, it will bo seen that the idea has been taken up by other jour nals, and that Mr. Stewart is likely to become the man of the people, without reference to party politics of any description. It only re quires an effort on the part of the conservative masses to overthrow the rotten fabrics erected by party spirit, and to bring forward an able man, whose motto is "the Union and the con stitution," as the standard bearer of the people. Mr. Stewart is just such a man. Lot him be sup ported, and let the party hacks be driven as chaff before the wind. Pnovotrr Marshal Kennedy.?Why are the radical papers so tierce in their attacks upon l'rovost Marshal Kennedy? Became' he has set a noble example of arresting abolitionists as well as secessionists who exhibit symptoms ol hostility to the Uuion, the constitution and the laws.

At noon yesterday the United Stales Iron clad eteamer Paasalo, built on the plaa or Mr. Ericsson, waa eucoees fully lauuehod from the yard or Thomae Rowland, E?i., Continental Works, Greenpomt. Tha day bolug fine, at an early hour Ihe visitors to witness the launch began to assemble. They came tlrst in twos and threes, but towards noon in crowds, from evory diroction, and ot all ages and both sexe3. Thore was but little at. tractive about the Passaic sa she appetrod on the stocks, the novel construction was all tha' induced people to take mors than one look at her. Her lower hull Is or line model; the up.oer appears like a flat block, shari>ened at both ends, with sundry holes in It, the use of which are only understood by the initiated. None but privileged chiraotors wore permitted Inside the house which covered the Pausaic. Boing oae of those( acaancowas given to have a uoarer look, and time to make an examination of her Interior. A distant view of the outside, to one who does not understand the con struction of an iron-clad, Is cortainty tho most attractive. A noar view ahowe the rough points, which do not leave a ploasant impression with persons who expect to see per fection. Tho Interior work of tho lheuaic la near completion, and will, in all probability, bo flnUhod beroro the turret Is placed In position and gone mounted. A de scription of the Passaic's construction is needless; she ' Is tho M initor over again, with the exception of s -mc few dimensions, which will bo spoken or after (he launch.

It becomes our melancholy duty to reoord tho death of another gallant oflloer and most estimable gentleman, not at the hands of the enemy, but by that scourge of the tropics at this season of the year, the yellow feyor. The late Commander Winslow, of the United States Navy, died of yellow fever on the 28.1 but., at sea, while lu command of the United Statou s.o uner R. R. Cuyler. He entered the navy of the United States as ratctahip* man, from the State of Massachusetts, on the 8th of July, 1833. His commission as lieutenant was dated th e 24th of November, 1814, and he was promoted to the rank of commander under the late act of Congress for the reorganization of the navy. At the commencement of the rebellion he was, witb hu wife and family, with her relatives, In North Carolina, near Kayotlcville, and oscaiied from the State with greet difficulty, having to sooreto himself on board a sailing vessel at tho port of Wilmington, N. 0. On reaching the North, and roporting for duty, he was ordered to the United Slates steam frigate Unwisainpl at her Brat lieu - tenant end executive officer, end wont to the Gulf in he* in thai capacity. After sevoral m >ntha' sorviee on board that ship ho was ordered to the c >mmand of the United States steamer Water Witch, and woe present when the squadron was driven from the head of the paste by the ram Manassas, on which occasion, by his coolnaes and gallant conduct, be covered himself and the little water Witch with glory Soon after that affair be was ordered to the command oT the steamer R. K. Cuyler, and while in her performed another gallant action, in capturing the Anglo-rebel schooner J. U. Wilder, under a heavy fire of musketry from a large party of rebels on the beach. In this affair ho hod several men severely wounded. When the Gulf squadron wits divided he was, witn the Cay ler, ordered 10 the Ea.-r.erri division, under Flag Officer McKean. and was quite *tic;*ssiul in his cruises, making several oap ture-4 ?f valuable cargoes. In May lust the Cuy lor was ordered io Boston for re pairs, whleh shs bad completed, and rejoined the same squadron aboat six weeks since, dhe sailed from Key West on a cruise on tho 20th lust., and Captain Winslow died threo days after, showing that be contrasted the disease in that place. The R. R. Cuyler returned to this port yesterday, bring* ing tne body of Captain Wluslow, which will no doubt be sont to Massucbuuetts for interment. In the death of Commander Winslow the navy bee loeB oue of its brightest ornaments, society hu agreeable mean* her, and bis family a devoted husband and all settee af father. No one In the navy was more beloved and estoemod by his brother officers. Brave as a lion whew duty called him to beso, yet gentle as a lamb la dlspest tlonjai strict discipMnarian. ye' e*im,e?x>i and always kind in carrying out an order. Ho bad no enemies; mid knew but'to love and respect him. and his sudden deathl away from family and friends will be a severe Mew td them.
