Dr. Uus?cll seems to haYo antici pated some disaster in the rear, from a casual remark to the effect that the battle was won, if no mishap overtakes the rear of tlie 1-e-deral forces." As ho explained to Capt. Dolliver eome of the movements, he loaned him his glasi to see for himself. Ho said th it our troops held their own like veterans, when opposed by superior numbers, but they lacked steadiness in falling back. Dr. Russell saw the rebel cavalry as ttiey emerged from the woods, and remarked to Capt. Dolliver that they numbered about si thousand, and Cart.

A very small forco of even in fantry properly posted, could have driven them off the Held ; but that force was not at hand. They charged among tho teamsters, and created a panic, which was m ire des tructive than their swords. Capt. Dolliver remarked to Dr. Russell that he thought the troops from the front as they came up, would btop the retreat at a certain point; but the Doctor said, " no, they arc all more or less infected ; it is pain fulvery painful ; so wc must look out to make good our cwn retreat." Capt. Dolliver and Dr. Russell retreated in company until all danger from tho victo rious rebels was past. Capt.

Boston Tracclkr. INTOXICATION IN Till' AKMY. "There is too much reason to fear that tho de moralization of the army by intemperanco has reached a far more fcarlul cx.enttbau is generally supposed, or than admits of any extenuation or apology. In the city of Washington especially is this sad evil apparent, though enough of it has been in this city whilo it was the rendezvous lor the various regiments. Wo regret to say that in Washington, however, intoxication is by no means confined to the rank and hlo ot the army. Ulti cera aro not unfrcquently seen in public undct tho marked influence of liquor, and some of them fre quent tho bar rooms quite as habitually as tho privates. A- K. Ctm. .lrfBo-fiW. Wc have just had a melancholy illustration of tho danger of entrusting drunken iflicers with iui. portant commands in the case of Col. Mile?, who lead tho reserve near Centrevillc. This man is said to have been so ovcrcomo with liquor that ho could not even giro tho command, much less obey it ! And there are those who attribute tho dis aster of the 21st to this fact alone. Tho chief vice of the camp is drunkenness. Given a grogshop and plenty of money, and it will not take long to dcmorilijo a regiment. Some of tho accounts that reach us from Wash ington and Fortress Monroe aro not as encour aging as we could wish. Wc have heard cases of Colonels, who absontcd themselves from their com mand for days at a time; of Majors lying about bar-rooms "dead drunk"; of Captains loaving their companies without orders; of Lieutenants carried to their quarters in a state of beastly in toxication; of Irivatcs and Officers meeting each other at restaurants and siloons, mixing wita each other freely, eating and drinking with each other, and ignoring for the time diflerenco of rank ! It is hardly nccesary to say that an ofii:cr who docs this loses not only his influcuco over, but tho respect of, his men. it is preeminently true of tho camp that familiarity between Privates and Commanders " brcedj contempt." While tho lat- t.r must rrovo tbattnoy aro well willing to suaro danger and suffering with their men, thoy must rigidly insist upon thoso artiGcial distinctions which rank confers. Albany Evr.

Watkins who has been in command ot the rebels in the south cast part of Missouri for some time past, resigned on Saturday last and strongly urged all the troops to dis band, as ho would have nothing more to do with this rebellion. Watkins is a man ot lar-'e property, and tho reason assigned lor this sudden change in his conduct is the con templated passage of a confiscation bill by Congress. , , .
