XHE DISASTER.
£r.ch details as we have been able to
o( the disaster which bcfel our army
at Manassas Junction, on Sunday night
will be found elsewhere. The following,
wc presume, will proveto be the correct
Statement of the affair:
The battle commenced on Sunday mom
iru at five or six o'clock —the rebels hav
ing been reinforced by Johnston from
Winchester and by Jeff Davis from Rich
mond, to probably double the number of
men in General McDowell’s army. Up
lo seven o'clock on Sunday evening
tbo victory was on our side, all the
batteries at Bull's Run having been taken,
ai u the enemy pushed back towards _Ma-
From this point of time the re-
l<y some means yetunknown,repulsed
Mir columns, recovered their ground and
drove Gen. McDowell back through Ccn
tuvilV, Fairfax, and on to the starting
point of Arlington Heights. The rebels,
hovever, did not follow their advantage,
nor come anywhere near the fortifications
cn the Potomac. It is refreshing to know
that Gca. Patterson was all this while at
Harper’s Feny. The number of killed
on our side was first put at 3,000
then at 5,000 and lastly said to be
diminishing as more authentic accounts
are received. The New Terk Fire
Zouaves were first reported to have lost
all but 200 of their number; nevertheless
COO of them relumed to their camp. CoL
TTilcox, the gallant commander of the
First ilichigan Regiment, was reported to
be killed up to a late hour last night, when
he came to life again, although seriously
wounded.
The Latest Dispatches give a much
more comfortable hue to the affair. Sher
man's famous battery has relumed all
right. The Ist Conn., 7istN.Y. and the Fire
Zouaves, supposed to have been cut to
pieces, have nearly all relumed, and sev
eral of the regiments have taken their old
places around Arlington and Alexandria.
Only 22,000 of our men were engagen in
the fight and only 15,000 at any one time.
The work of reorganizing the army has
vigorously commenced, and the whole
will soon be on as good a footing as ever.
IH£ FUTURE.
■Whatever may have been the extent of
the disaster to Gen. McDowell’s army on
Sunday night, and it could not seemingly
have been worse, the consequences will he
only a mightier uprising of the people in
behalf of their beloved Union and Consti-
tution, a firmer resolve to conquer the
traitors, a more gigantic preparation and a
more nervous energy for tlie work to he
accomplished. For every soldier driven
back from Manassas to the Potomac, there
are twenty who will march to contest
again the ground which has hcen lost
Mortification may well mingle with our
sorrow for the dead and wounded, but des
pair nercr. The Roundheads were beaten
on almost every field for two years until
the war produced Cromwell and his Iron
sides. Long Island andßunkerHill,so dear
to every American heart, were British vic
tories. Yet the great triumph of our fore
fathers dates from those defeats. So will
it he now. The reverse of our army, be it
more or less fatal, will prove the seed of
the triumph which is sure to come. If
this is to be a war of years instead o!
months, so let it be. If it calls for armies
of ha! fa million instead ef one-tenth that
number, they are to he had for the asking.
Already we have the evidence that such is
the temper oflhe country,in new regiments
offered and others hastening to the scene of
conflict.
That two hostile nations cannot exist on
this continent —the one holding the mouth
and the other the sources of the Missis
e;ppi—is being eveiy day more fully dem
onstrated, and never did the great fact
come more forcibly to the minds of the
people than yesterday. If we could possi
bly make peace to-day, it would, be only to
fight the harder next month or next year,
and surely we shall never again be in
such a mood for fighting as now. So, let
the energies of the country he mustered in
their greatest strength. Let the regiments
which have been imploring for acceptance
these many months, bc'armcd and muster
ed and sent forward to the places
where they have desired to be. Let
vast camps of instruction be organized
forthwith. And above all, let educated and
competent ojfieert be appointed to command
cur soldiers. Ambitious politicians, who
would hold themselves unqualified to de
fine the elements of the comet without as
tronomical training, may well decline to
lead thousands of men into battle without
the first principles of military science.
Such resources of men, money and me
chanism as the loyal States possess must
and tliaUpretax!.
EFFECT ON THE SUSSES.
That the first serious reverse has been
sustained by the Government forces, how
ever much it may inspirit the rebels, will by
no means dishearten the people of the
1- val States, but, on the contrary, only
simulate them to put forth exertions
ntkquate to the emergency. However
strong their determination up to yesterday
morning, that this rebellion should be ut
terly broken and crushed out, that leeling
Was far stronger before the going down of
the sun, and after the news of McDowell’s
retreat had flashed over the wires. If it was
on the fourth day. of July—and it was
true then— that “ the people will save the
Government,if the Government will only
“ itß part indifferently well”—it is true
with a profoander meaning and a deeper
emphasis at this veiy moment. The peo
ple are ready for whatever the exigency
may demand. There must be no holding
back no fear, no reluctance on the part
of Congress in voting the men and money
that may seem to be wanted. The loyal

Stales will respond to the call, however
large ihe number may be. If half-a-mil

Let Congress do its duty—that is all that
the loyal millions now ask.

POT SO BAD AS REPORTED, 1 1111
The first reports of the battle at Manas
sas made our defeat far worse than it actu
ally was. Every subsequent dispatch re
duced the amount of injury the National
troops received. The loss of life was less,
the number of cannon left behind was
fewer than the earlier rumors had them.
Nor was the panic so bad, nor the confix- j
sion eo great as first represented. |
When the whole truth becomes known,
it will be found, that we have suffered
much less than even the most favorable
dispatches published this morning, repre
sent. "What last evening was sadly be
lieved to be an utter rout, which might re
sult in the occupation of Washington by
the rebels, will prove to have been merely
a check to the advance movement of the
Grand Army, delaying the capture of
Richmond for a few weeks at far
thest. The few pieces of artillery
lest, will quickly be replaced by the Vul
cans of the North. The work-shops of the
Union States are turning out an incalcula
ble quantity of warlike material eveiy
week. More is being done now in a day
towards equipping the army, than could
be accomplished last Slay, in a week. The
wound our side has received, is only a
wraith which will heal over in an incredi
ble short space of time. The place in the
ranks, of every brave fellow who fell at
Bull’s Run, will soon be filled by tea
equally as brave men, who will rally un
der the starry banner to avenge his fall
and brfllsc the secession serpent’s head be
neath their heels.
corn AGE, UNION SIEN!
Let no .loyal man be discouraged by the
reverse sustained by the National troops
at Bull’s Run. It requires a defeat or two
to warm up the blood of the Northmen
and put them in proper fighting mood.
Like the great Antaeas, who, when thrown
to the ground, gathered strength from the
contact with mother earth and arose re
freshed and stronger than before, to renew
the contest, so of the Sons ©f Liberty;
the loss of this battle will only nerve
them to greater efforts. The great
Northern hive will send forth its legions
in numbers like the sands of the sea shore.
Smarting under the late defeat, every sol
dier will hum with desire to avenge it
A stream of regiments will flow into
Washington and pour across “Long
Bridge.” and ere long the forward move
ment will recommence to progress south
ward with irresistable force, until the last
rebel in arms is subdued.
The liberties of this Nation were not
achieved hy one battle, nor can they be lost
by one battle, however disastrous. The
defeat which Washington’s army suffered
at Long Island was relatively far more
disastrous and discouraging than the
reverse sustained hy the National :
troops at Manassas. Yet Washington
and his brave Continentals retriev
ed that gloomy day at Torktown
where the red-coat and tory were Utterly
annihilated, and the star-spangled banner !
waved in triumph over the fallen foe. So
will it be in this straggle. The crack *of
the rebel slave-driver’s whip will cause no
free man to cower or quaiL They have to
overcome the whole nioral, physical and
material strength of twenty millions of
free people, before they consummate the
destruction of the Union.
The traitors must make their calcula
tions to fight five hundred thousand men
lor five years, before the loyal States will
exhibit a symptom of exhaustion.
PANICS.
The panic which seized Gen. McDowell’s
army on Sunday night, brings to mind the
still more frightful panic which seized upon
the rear guard and reserves of the French
army at Solferino. After the victory had
been won, and while the Austrians were in
full retreat, a body of French horsemen gal
loped down to the rear to deliver an order
or to bring the news to their comrades.
Some one seeing them coming exclaimed
“ the Austrians; the Austrians £are upon
us!” Instantly a terrific flight commenced,
old and grizzly Zouaves mounted artillery
horses, cut them loose and galloped off.
In the space of a few seconds some
forty thousand men, infantry, cavalry, ar
tillery, baggage trains, ambulances, strag-
glcrs, were rushing and roaring down the
road to Mantua, knocking each other down,
trampling the dead and dying under their
feet, and hundreds falling exhausted and
breathless by the wayside. In this way
did a whole division of the French army
■ camper in the wildest confusion for fif
teen miles.
CEN. ncCLEtL aN.
The announcement that Gen. McClellan
has been summoned to Washington to
take command of the army on the Poto
mac, will he hailed by the country with
peculiar gratification. The confidence of
the people is unlimited in his peculiar fit
ness lor the important position, to which
he has been called. In his recent brilliant
campaign in Western Virginia he has
given an evidence of the possession of abili
ties which, on a broader field and in com
mand #f an augmented force, cannot fail
to shed lustre upon our arms and win im
perishable honors for himselt.

Profit and liom
The result of the campaign in Virginia thus
far may be summed up in a few words. The
Americans hare lost a battle and gained West
ern Virginia. The loss of a battle is like the
cutting off of a man’s beard; it will soon
grow again; but the loss to the rebels of Vir
ginia West of the Alleghanies may be likened
to the loss of a limb—it can never be restored.
Besides a fragment of the old Dominion, the
confederates have also lost three States—
Maryland, Delaware and Missouri. They
must cain many more battles before they can
balance their loss with their profit account.
Rejection or a Traitor’s Nomination*
The nomination of Michael Otero as Secre
tary of New Mexico, was rejected in the
Senate on Saturday by a decided vote.
FROM MISSOURI.
[Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.]
Quincy, 111., Jnly 19,1861,
I did not go on to St. Joseph as I proposed
to do in my letter of this morning, and am 1
just tack from my tour into Northern Mis
souri. 1 era sure a more disordered, unac
countable state of things cannot exist than is
to be found there. The people, I think a ma
jority of them, are In arms against the Govern*
ment, but they have no regular military or
ganization, andeeem to hare no settled plan
or purpose they expect to adopt or accom
plish. The Hannibal and St Joseph Railroad
is under the control of strong Union men, and
that fact accounts for the destruction of prop
erty along the line. The Northern
Missouri Railroad, I am informed is
under the control of the Secessionists, and
the reason for the same destruction of Its
property is, undoubtedly, to prevent Federal
troops from passing over it. These roads
may be repaired, as the Hannibal and St. Jo
seph road has been, with remarkable energy
and promptness, for which its officers and
men are entitled to much credit; but they
must be constantly guarded by an armed force
to keep them so. These worse than savage
foes are lurking in every belt of timber, await
ing the favorable moment to apply the torch
or shoot down the pickets. There is nothing
so much needed in Missouri as cavalry and
artillery, particularly the former. Most
of the rebels are mounted, and have
little trouble in outrunning infantry.
One company of cavalry left here this a. m.
ti.rsome point in Missouri; Us exact destina
tion is not known. There aretwo othercom
panies here being drilled and equipped as ra
id dly as possible.
The whole country along the line of the
railroad eetms to be deserted. The Union
etniiment prevails to considerable extent in
the villages, but in some of these there is
scarcely a house inhabited. New aod then a
u.au is seen working in the fields, bat most
of the farms are in the same condition they
were ten days ago; grain is ripe and uncut c-r
is just as it was left by the reapers a week or
more since. The loss to these farmers
must be very great, and no man
cun tell what gain they can hope for to com
pensate them.
There i & some fault found with the Federal
troops—tor the disposition some of them have
to live on the “fat of the ’and” in which they
dwell, temporarily. Some of your Chicago
Zouaves have discovered a “new kind of wild
bird” in Missouri, the flesh of which they
think may be “good to eat.” These birds
have four legs, and the feathers have a very
Inttiy appearance. Gen. Hurlbut has issued
very etfiol orders to the officers and troopa
under their command In regard to interfering
with the rights and property of the people,
and I think there will be a commendable de
gree of strife among the officers of the differ
ent regiments to see what regiment will con
form most strictly to these orders.
You have received ere this the proclama
tion issued by Brig. Geu. Pope from St. Louis
to-day. It is direct and “to the point.” I
hear a little “ sparring ” among the friends of
the Brigadier Generals as to “ which is great
est ” among them.
The Irish Brigade received marching orders
at 10 o’clock this forenoon, for the St. Louis
Arsenal. I visited the camp at noon and
iound Lieut Pease, of Company E, with teats
“ struck and packed,” ready for the march.
He very kindly showed me through the camp.
There is fight in that regiment, and it will be
no hard matter to get it out.
It was a sad accident, by which Lieut Jobe
of Co. F, Capt. Allard, lo»t his life, yesterday
morning. It seems a member of the company
was teking his musket from a stack, near
Lieut. Jobe, when in some way the hammer
caught, and the contents were discharged into
the abdomen of the Lieutenant lie lived
about two hours. He had gained the respect
end esteem of his own company and of'the
entire regiment, and there are many who
mourn Ms untimely death.
The boys of the 19th regiment are now
wearing their “new clothes,” but those “Minie
muskets” have not yet arrived. They have
had to wait with a great deal of patience for
iheir equipments, and they are not complete
yet, but they are not boys who wear long
tacts about anything. They know well how
to make the best of what they have. The offi
cers cf the 10th arc deservedly popular, and I
am under many obligations to each ana all of
them for favors received. I went across the
river this afternoon, expecting to take the
cars for Palmyra and enjoy the hospitalities
of their camp, but was told by the Superin
tendent of the Q. & P. R. R., as I have been
cnee before when 1 went over with the same
intention, “The regular train will not go out
10-night.” Regular trains have been very ir
regular in Missouri for some time.
I must not leave Quincy •without saying
what every one who has travel ;ed this way
knows perfectly well, that this is one of the
meet beautiful cities of the West, and I must
aito add that no one knows better how to
minister to the comfort of his guests than
“ mine host" of the Quincy House.

How a Parcel of Our Officers were
Captured.
We hare already published a full account of
tbe fight which look place at the mouth of
PccaUilco river, a small stream which enters
into the Kanawha, about twenty miles below
Charleston and the same distance from the
Ohio river, between a detachment of Gen.
Cox’s brigade, consisting of 1,500 men and
4,000 rebels. The National troops fought until
all their ammunition was exhausted. A later
account gives the particulars of how a num
ber of officers were captured, including Col.
DeYillier’s, formerly instructor of the Chicago
Zouaves, viz.:
About half-past 2 o’clock a messenger
brought the word to camp that the troeps
had exhausted their ammunition, when Gen.
Ccx ordered out a reinforcement, but before
it started, a second messenger arrived, saying
that the enemy had broken, and was flying
before our bayonets. This information was
fake. The order to “break ranks” was then
given. After which, CoL Woodruff, Col De
V fillers, Lieutenant Colonel Neff, and Cap
tains Sloan and Hurd, left the camp to see me
tetreat. They rode three miles beyond the
camp, being one mile beyond our pickets,
and mistaking the enemy, who it wauld seem
had been pursuing the retreating regiments.
Our loss it variously stated, but appears
to be about a dozen killed and thirty or forty
wounded. „ „ _

Waseikctok, July 23,1801.
The panic among the teamsters who drove
the baggage wagons, aud the civilians who
caught the infection L om them, is considered
one main cause of our precipitate retreat.
The wagons had been driven too near to the
army, and the drivers and civilians in their
vicinity, believing the change of position in
cident to the battle to be in favor cf a retreat,
precipitately fled, carrying off the horses
and leaving tbe wagons blocking up* the
read. The soldiers,* in their turn, mistook
this for a retreat of the army and were carried
away by It.
Among those reported killed are L’eut. CoL
Nugent and Oapt. Thos. F. Meagher, of the
New York C9th.

[To the Associated Press.]
Washington, July 22.—The Rhode Islind
battery was captured at the bridge across
Bull’s Run, where their retreat was cut off
Thdrhorses were all killed. It is reported
the Black-horec cavalry made an attack on
the rear of onr retreat, when the remnant of
the Fire Zouaves turned and fired, killing all
but six of them. The 71st New York lost
about half their men.
The following regiments were engaged in
the fight: Ist, 2d and 31 Connecticut Regi
ments ; Ist Regiment of composed
of the 2d, 3d and Bth Companies; 350 marines ;
the Blh and 14th New York Militia; Ist and
2d Rhode Island; 71c-t New York; 2J New
Hcmpshire; the sth Massachusetts; the Ist
Minnesota; the Ist Michigan; 11th and 3Sth
New York; 2d, 4th and oth Maine; and the
2a Vermont; besides the several batallions.
The following is a partial list of tho officers
killed aid wounded:
Killed. —Capt. McCook and the Lieut. CcL
cf Ellsworth's Zouaves ; Capt. Gordon, Co.
H, 11th Massachusetts; CoL Siucum, 22d NjW
York; CoL Wilcox, Ist Michigan; Lieut. Col
Fowler of the New York 14*h.
Wounded. —Col, Tompkins, N. Y. 2d; Col.
Fambam, Fire Zouaves; Col, Hunter, U, S.
a, ; Col. Corcoran, C9lh N, Y.; CoL Clark, Ist
Maes.; Capt. Rickets of the artillery; Cal.
Lawrence, Mass. sth; Cap*. Elite of the 71et
N. Y.; Major Rosier of the Fire Zouaves; [Ro
ller and CoL Farnham are badly wounded.]
Probably the number ot killed aad wounded
1* magnified by the large numbers who are
missing. The lowest estimate of killed aul
•wounded may be placed at 4000 to 5000.
It is represented in many quarters that thi
Ohio regiments showed the greatest conster
nation, probably from want of coniidauoa in
their commanding officers.
It is vaguely reported that Gen. Patterson’s
division arrived in the vicinity of Manassas
this (Monday) morning and commenced an
attack on the rebel forces. He was within 25
miles of the battle-ground yesterday, but the
exhausted condition of his men prevented
~h!m from coming to McDowell's aid. It Is
also reported that 4,000 of our troops have
been sent t« Fairfax from side of the
river.
It is known that on the day previous to the
tattle a large number of the Ohio regiments
publicly proteeted against being led by Gen.
Schenck, and It was only through the impor
tunities of CoL McCook, lu whom they placed
all confidence, and other! officers, that they
were prevented from making a more fornr.da
ble rebellion.
It was known to our troops yesterday that
Johnston had formed a junction, with Beaure
gard on the night of the first action at Bali’s
Run. Our men could distinctly hear the cars
coming In from Manassas Junction, and the
cheers with which the Confederates hailed
their newly arriving comrades. They knew
that the enemy was superior in numbers and
in their own position. This was further con
firmed by prisoners taken, but these facts
were probably unknown at Washington.
Gen. Schenck, as well as the older field offi
cers, acted admirably. He cclleetedhis forces
ard covered the retreat, and up to the last
movement was personally engaged In the en
deavor to rally his men lo make a stand at
Ccntreville. It was the arrival of fresh rein
forcements to the enemy, In superior num
bers, which turned the scale of battle. The
enemy before now might perhaps have had
more to boast of if they had followed their
advantages up last night.
LATER AXD BETTER.
Washington, July 23.
The number of killed and wounded Is gradu
ally decreasing. Six hundred of the Fire Zou
aves have returned. It is now understood
that CoL WUcox, reported dead, is living,

Disastrous Retreat of our Forces*
Wasatngton, Jnly 23. —After the latest in.
formation was received from Centreville at
7;30 last night, ft series of events took place
in the intensest degree disastrous. Many con
fused statements are prevalent, but enough is
known to warrant the statement that we have
suffered in a degree which has cast a gloom
over the remnant of the army, and excited the
deepest melancholy throughout Washington.
The carnage was tremendously heavy on both
aides, and on onrs is represented as frightful
We were advancing and taking their masked
batteries gradually, but surely, and were driv
ing the enemy towards Manassas Junction,
when the enemy seemed to have been rein
forced by Gen. Johnston, who,lt is understood,
took command, and immediately commenced
driving na back, when ft panic among our
troops suddenly occurred and ft regular B&m*
pede took place.
It is thought that Gen* McDowell undertook
to make a stand at or about Centrevßle, but
the panic was so tearful that the whole army
teccme demoralized, and it was impossible to
check them either at Centreville or Fairfax
Court House. Gen. McDowell intended to
make another stand at Fairfax Court House,
but our forces being in full retreat could not
at complish the object. Beyond Fairfax Court
House the retreat was kept up until the men
reached their regular encampments, a portion
of whom returned to them, but a still larger
portion coming inside the entrenchments.
A large number of the troops in their retreat
fell on the waysiie from exhaustion, and scat
tered along the route all the way from Fairfax
Court House. The road from Ball’s Bun was
strewed with knapsacks and arms, some of
our troops deliberately throwing away their
cues and appurtenances, the better to facili
tate their tratcl.
Gem McDowell was In the rear of the re
treat, exerting himself to rally his men, hut
only with partialeffecL The lattorpart of the
army, it is said, made their retreat in order.
His orders on the field did not at all times
reach those for whom they were intended.
It is supposed the force sent out against our
troops consisted, according to a prisoner’s
statement, of about 30,000 men, including a
laigc number of cavalry. He further says
that owing to reinforcements from Richmond,
Straeburg and other points, the enemy’s ef
fective force was 90,000 men.
According to a statement of two of the Fire
Zouaves, they have only about 200 mem left
from the slaughter, while the N. T, C9th aud
other regiments frightfully suffered in tilled
aid wounded. The number canmot mow be
inown.
Sherman’s, Carlisle’s, Griffin’s and the West

a pontoon across Bullßnn, when a terrific con
sternation broke out among the teamsters,
who had incautiously advanced immediately
after the body of the army, and lined the
Warrenton road. Their consternation was
shared in by numerous civilians, who were on
the ground, and soon our whole army was in
retreat. For a time a perfect panic prevailed,
which communicated itself to tbe vicinity of
Centreville, and every available conveyance
was seized upon. Several similar alarms had
occurred on previous occasions, caused by a

The Great Disaster Predieted.
The New York Times of Saturday last has
the following prophetic article, prefaced by
a notice of the first officer at Boll’s Bun;
The worst result of the repulse is that it has
postponed the advance until Gen. Beauregard
can obtain all those reinforcements which the
immediate menace of a collision calls for.
These he can draw without difficulty from
Richmond. It is also more than probable that
Gen. Johnston, passing Manassas Gap, has by
this time reached the Junction with his fit-.
thousand men—the pursuit of Gen. Pat
terson being so tardy as to relieve the enemy
from apprehension of an attack on the flank,
until alter the main conflict shall have been
decided. If these impressions be correct, it is
quite certain that the rebel chief la at the head
of a force outnumbering our own, intrenched
behind powerful batteries of rifled cannon,
and ready to repeat upon a larger scale the In
cident at Bull’s Ron. We may be foolishly
sanguine as to the result of a contest in which
the enemy has the choice of position and the
protection of elaborate defences. We shall
be [absurdly misguided if we reckon on noth
ing but displays ofpoltroonery on the part pf
ouje*-adversaries. It is to imitate the silly
bravado ot Palmettodom to assume that the
Northern soldieris more than a match for two
or even one of his antagonists. It is far bet
ter to rate the enemy in.theae and au other

tired to a state room which he occupied In
company with Forrest. Towards midnight For
rest also retired, having spent the interim in
’-ring cards. The money was carried in an
nM"aAt^ vp l the most loose manner imagin
abl4 and'thc^ < = fhi , d hand
and abstract the goiu. Fortunately, however,
he left upwards of $3,000 x'f mamingm the bag,
and there being no uJ^ n nt Q t l oa in
its weight, Mr. Millard did no* D . :3
less until he arrived at his hotel al?d counted
the money. On making the discovery.he
found officcrGore, who succeeded in arresting
Forrest in less than half an hour. He is now
In jail awaiting examination. — Detroit Trib

Seizure of Contraband Goods.—We are
informed by Mr. St, James, just arrived from
Cape Girardeau, that Cob Marsh, of the Twen
tieth Illinois regiment, bow encamped at that
point, seized on the last trip of the steamer
Memphis, some 12,200 worth of medicines,
belonging to Mr. Kelly, of the firm of Gam
hart & Kelly, of this city, destined for the
South. The goods were secreted in trunks
andaalises. Mr. Kelly was arrested and re
leased on his parole. We understand that
this system of smuggling is still carried on by
acme of our people. The officers of the gov
ernment should be very watchful over these
matters. — St. Louis Dem 22d ittsL
Beauregard alias Plerrs Tontant,
[From the New Y*rk Tribune, 19th Inst.]
A curious fact has been related to us in re
gard to Gtn. Beauregard of the Insurgent
aimy. The name of that gentleman with the
lighting chin, as Mr. Russell of the Tim's de
scribes him, is not Beauregard, but Tontant —
Pierre Gustave Tontant. His father was a
Frenchman, and was the eldest of the family.
The family bed an estate called Beauregard,
and the elder Tontant was in the habit of sign
ing himself Tontant of Btauregard. When
he made the application to the member of
Congress from the district la which he resided
in JLociaßuia for a cadetship at West
Point for his hopeful eon, he signed
himself in this way—Tontant de Beaure
gard, and the assumed title was taken far the
surname. The appointment for the lad was
therefore made oit for Pierre G. T. Beaure
gaid, and the name was retained from a little
vanity, perhaps, in its sonorous quality. Beau
regard, however, is still known among his re
lations in Louisiana as Pierre Tontant.
If, a few months hence, one Pierro Tontant
be heard of about town, seeking a pas
sage in disguise and in some humble way for
parts unknown, it will be understood that he
is the late Gen. Beauregard, one of tbe ring
leaders in the Southern insurrection recent
ly suppressed, fijlng from the fear of a halter.
The Fourth Wisconsin Regiment and
the Ebib Railhoad. —The Elmira 'Press gives
the following version of the .difficulty be
tween. the Fourth Wisconsin Regiment and
the Erie B. R- Co.:
j It .seems that the Colonel of'the Regiment
Lad signed a written contract, to the effect
that he would come by the way of Dunkirk:
but in violation of this express agreement,
and after the Erie Road had been subjected to
the labor and expense of transporting cars to
£nckirk for their Vlt, —they went on to Buf
falo, and cauid on tbc Buffalo and
Corning Road. The regiment which last pre
ceded them had done the same thing, and not
liking the idea of being thns imposed upon,
Superintendent Minot, justly indignant, re
fused to famish cars for their transportation
from Coming to Elmira. When we left the
depot, at 10 last evening, the matter had been
finally adjusted,and the Regiment was expect
ed to reach here at midnight—the Buffalo road
•greeing to pay the fare to the Erie Road, for
their transportation from Corning down.
Beverlt Tucker.—'The Richmond Dispatch
of Thursday says:
Beverly Tucker, Esq.., late Consul of the
United States at the port of Liverpool, arrived
in Richmond on Monday with dispatehes to
President Davis. We leam that he made the
journey from Halifax to Richmond by the way
of Canada, Michigan and Illinois, and in order
to guard still further against detention by the
myrmidons of Lincoln, traveled under an as
sumed name. He speaks encouragingly, we
understand, of an early recognition of the
Southern Confederacy by the Government of
Great Britain.
Shocking Apeaik in Watne CouNir.— We
are informed of a distressing affair lately oc
curring in Ontario, Wayne county, in wnlch
a respectable j oung lady, Miss Louisa Hibbard,
was seduced,'under promise of marriage, by a
young harness maker, said to belong in Sodas.
The match was broken off by the parents of
Mies H,, when the young man left for parts
unknown. When the result of the young la
dy’s imprudence became known to her friends,
a grrat excitement was produced, and the pa
rents declared they preferred the following of
their daughter to her grave to her shame. It
se<ma she took them at their word, and swal
lowed a quantity of corrosive sublimate, which
caused her death in spite of all medical aid.—

er S. R, Spaulding, Capt. Howes, a* Baltimore,
has completed arrangements for the transpor

of each regiment Lave re-enlisted for three
years. In consequence cf tbc recent exploits
of the Southern privateers, the Spaulding has

She was to leave Baltimore Tuesday afternoon
for Fortress Monroe. —Boston Journal.
igy The Secretary of State baa made a re
cWnTation on the Spanish Government for tuc
surrender of the American vessels earned into
Cienfnegos by the privateer Sumter, and no
doubt is entertained ol their immediate re
lease with their cargoes, and of the prohibi
tion of the entrance of Confederate privateers
into the West Indian ports hereafter. It is
ascertained that the Spanish proclamation
which has been received here had not at the
time been received in Cuba.—AoßonoZ IhlcHi

J3f The Memphis Avalancfie, of the 17th ?
sympathizes with the “oppression” under
■which the people of the North are groaning,
to the extent of a column. Taking its cue
fremthe doleful complaints of some of the
Northern papers, that the Constitution has
been trampled under fool by the President,
the Avalanche becomes mournful over the tyr*
