Gen. Fremont’s expedition has reached Bird’s Point, raising the force there to Borne 8,000 men, with a good supply of ax ■tiUeiy; andthese and the'brigade at Cairo give us a total of some 12,000 to 13,000.

And.it will not be disap pointed. THE PRESIDENT. Hr. Lincoln is eminently a good-natured man; but we doubt if he will take the re- Sensibility of the battle of Bull Kan, which certain very generous gentlemen are tiylng to thrust upon him, as kindly as Ins ample supply of the TnHk of human Mad ness might lead them to imagine. W& do not pretend % know where the blame of that bad piece of business should be laid. The tendency of the developments to which, every day gives birth, is to show ibat Gen. McDowell was clothed with dis cretionary powers, which he had not the ; discretion to properly use; and that he, bong willing to risk the chances of defeat, for the reputation which a victory would bring, precipitated the fight, when three days* delay would have made success cer tain. Be' that as it may, It is. sure that the President has all the while declined, in all jniKtaiy matters, to act adversely to the advice of Gen. Scott. Hia 'language has invariably been this, and dozens of men have heard him use it; w I do not pretend u to be a military in&n; and if I did so pre «tend, the country would not believe me. ** If I should assume the control of mi litary movements, and we should meet •‘with a reverse, X should, be severely •* blamed.

We do not believe, then, that h© was bullied, badgered or coaxed into the £ght which had so disastrous & result That be was consulted in regard to, and fully approved of, the advance upon Centerville, we have no doubt; but that the battle was Sought to please him or his Mends, is a Statement “which, made to one who knows the policy that he has pursued, needs no refutation. It is simply absurd. IHE BIiOODT EDICT* Yesterday we published Gen. Pillow’s proclamation to the border ruffians of Mis souri, calling on them to rise and exter minate the Union men, and promising them immediate aid. Did this sentence escape the attention of ourreaders? *• “ We will help yon expel from yovr 6 orders the population host le to your right* and institutions, treating all each, as enemies if found under arms. 1 The ends of Pillow’s invasion of Mis souri will not be satisfied with conquering the loyal inhabitants and reducing them to subjection to the mandates of Jefferson “Davis, but he comes to “help” the lories expd from the State the population hostile “to their rights (secession) and Institu « tions,” (slavery) treating all such as ene “mies.” Thus we have indiscriminate banishment of women and children, as well as of men, who are loyal to the flag of the Union, and sweeping confiscation of their lands, house, goods and chattels. Such is the publicly announced purpose of ibfa secession scoundrel and his rebel crew. ypn of Illinois! will you stand with folded anas while this treasonable and bloody edict is being carried into effect? your loyal brethren in our sister State call on the young giant of the West for assist ance to beat back and drive out the cut throat rebel horde.

TB£ inSGBO QUESTION' yfe trust there is no mistake about the reported order of the Secretary of War, directing that the slaves, heretofore kept in confinement by the Government at Al exandria, have been liberated and employed at honest wages on the entrenchments of thp. anny, that, in future, all slaves coming within the tinea of the Federal troops, are to be set free and treated In the same biTTrm-np Tnrmnpr. The experience at Hull Hun, where slave-built batteries re pulsed the finest army ever organized °h the American Continent, has ''aught its own lesson. The body of Cot Cameron, brother of the Secretary slain by these hatteeies, lying ua krcmd on the field of Manassas, and the uvmg brother refused the sad privilege bf on the features of the brave Coload of the Highlanders —could there be a more powerful personal appealaddressed to this .member of the Cabinet/to recognize the rights of the 4,000.000 iojd. -blacks who “M \ \ VOLUME XIV. are impressed into the military eeirice of their rebel masters? Terily, Ball's Eon has not been witliout its adrantges to the cause of humanity. There may be tories in the North who will condemn the action of the Secretary of War. All such are secessionists, under a very thin disguise. They would have the soldiers of the Union mowed down by batteries planted and for tified by slaves working under the lash, without redress or the hope of redress. They would make the war longer and more bloody, and the issue' more doubtful, for the plain and undisguised purpose of saving slavery to the very men who are springing at the throat of the Government, and seeking to destroy the work of George Washington.

They leare Indianapolis on Monday for the seat of war. They are a eplendid regiment of farmers boys, and many of them actually Quakers, who are now aiding the “ National Polica,” Army Appointments* [From the Chicago Post, July 81.] The telegraph has already announced that out delegation in Congress have recommend ed for Brigadier Generals In Illinois, the fol lowing named gentlemen: Hon. W. A. Rich ardson, Bon. John A. McClemand, Gen. B. M. Prentiss, CoL W. H. L. Wallace, and Col. Ulys ses 8. Grant. The Imitation Greeley paper of this city, still assuming to dictate as to the conduct of the war, takes exception to the course of our delegation in making the recommendation, notifies the President of his rights, and calls upon him to assert them. The public generally will feel little doubt that the President and the Lieutenant General will act in the matter as their own judgment dictates, without regard to any present or fu ture advice which obscure newspaper warriors may offer. [From the same paper, Aug. 2.] We see by the reports from Washington that a new movement in the appointment of officers for the army has taken, place. We cannot say that the change promises to be much for*the better. We learn that the “Illi nois deputation ” —and by that we understand the members in both Houses and of both par ties from this State in Congress—have met rand recommended some six or eight citizens of this State for the office of Brigadier Generals. We see also the “ Pennsylvania delegation,” the “Ohio delegation,” and other “delega tions” have made airnflaT nominations for similar places. We do not think much good can come out of this arrangement. JR divides the responsibility —»£ destroys aU responsibUUy t and ms no guarantee against improper and in competent appointments. In this way it is true that each political party may secure a share of the Brigadiers, but that alone is a poor satis faction. Here you have both Bides, gentle public. “Ton pays your money and yon takes your choice.” Gen* Bushs’ Column* Saivdt Hook, via Baltmoee, July 81. The camp here is orderly and quiet to-day. There are no Indications of any rebel troops in this vicinity, Gen. Banks and staff are busily engaged in forming foe army into brigades. The present position was chosen In a great degree through the engineering shill of Capts. hewton and Simpson. It commands Harper’s Ferry, and can easily and quickly be made al most impregnable. Our batteries are in po sition. • Some attention 2b directed to Leesburg, In consequence of the rumored approach of Gen* Johnston with a large force.

The Harper’s Ferry correspondent of the Philadelphia ledger writes, underdate of July 28th a As usual ou Sunday, we had a grand army movement. Part of the Rhode Island battery, Capt Tompkins, crossed theriver just at day -1 light, and at 8 o’clock the column was all in I motion, except the Second Massachusetts, Colonel George, who will stay to garrison this place for the present The supposition is we will occupy the hills just opposite. Gen eral Banks has moved his headquarters two miles and a half down the river. The Second Massachusetts are left to garri son and act ac outpeets. The out pickets and guards last night had very strict orders, as we expected an attack. Twenty-six of Stewart’s cavalry were opposite this, m Loudon county, impressing all the men they could get Oar force was increased yesterday by four regi ments, including the Twelfth Massachusetts. Some four three months* regiments* time will be up week. Gen. Rarifc* cannot be any more of a Christian than Gen.

Double day did not receive the carnages to mount the cannon, and so he has his former complement ° XhV Sonfederates have two fortifications, one ranged along the other, and fifteen thou sand men opposite the Point ot Bocks, and during the night were receiving reinforce ments of provisions and men. The New Hampshire regiment and the Twelfth and Six teenth Indiana Regiments have arrived; also second Pennsylvania, CoL Mann, and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiment, CoL Geary. They compare favorably with any of the three years men. Numerous reasons are given as the cause of our movement to-day. The bat reason riven is, that we can prevent the rebels from lording, and can hold this po sition with the number of men we have. It is very important that the Confederates should not have possession of the Maryland Heights. CoL Ballicr, Twenty-first Pennsylvania, re turned home to-day.

Habtkb’s Feibi, Monday, July 29,1861. This appears to be an important column at present, Gen. Banks calling for 25,000 troops. The gVirmiahing on either side of the river with the enemy, makes seme excitement, if it amounts to but little. The first Wisconsin, who are guarding the railroad and canal, killed three men on Saturday, and a horse yesterday belonging to the seceeSonistß. Our troops are now all well posted on the heights and hills on the other side.

Thf» postal treaty or convention with Mexi co, ■flic consummation of which, between the authorities here, yon have been advised, has yet to be ratified by the American and the Mexican Congresses. It will, therefore, be some time before this treaty goes into opera tion.

McClellan#* CIOUBIt [Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial.] Washington, July 89,1861. • Discipline I Discipline! I Discipline!!! Such 5b now the watchword which represents the one thing needful of the army. The universal and even criminal. looseness which pervaded the late march toward Manassas, has been still further exhibited since the retain to Wash* ington in an amount of idleness, disorder and drunkenness, moat disgraceful to the officers, and damaging to the army. Not only have hundreds and thousands of soldiers—moat of ■whom have their camps on the other side of the river, been permitted tothrong the streets of Washington at all hours, but they have been let loose with muskets in their hands, to hannt the whisky shops of the city, and then to go reeling about the streets, imperil*' ing their own lives and those of the citizens. On a single afternoon, I was personally witness to the maiming of three different in dividuals, by the accidental discharge of fire arms in the hands of soldiers. Two of them took place on the crowded corner ofWUlard’e Hotel, wounding severely In the leg two men standing in the crowd —one a soldier, and the other a citizen. In several instances more fatal results have followed this utterly scan dalous and inexcusable practice of carrying weapons loosely aboutthe crowded thorough fares, at an unsteady pace, and with their muz zles pointed in every direction but the proper one. And the public peace has been stfil farther and almost constantly disturbed by the drunk en men prevalent among the soldiery. A few weeks ago. before the troops were generally paid I had occasion to bear testimony to to their uniform good behavior throughout the city. But latterly, whether from the thoughtless indulgence and too frequently participation of the. regimental officers, or Irom the abiding effects of the demoralization begun at Centrevllle, or from the Mud of in terregnum of authority which seems to have been interposed between the retiring of Gen. McDowell and the arrival of Gem McClellan— fiom whatever cause it may be—it is certain that the amount of liquor consumed with la mentable effect among the troops, has been enormous.. Ho right is more common than to meet reeling and staggering soldiers in the streets, alone, or supported by their compan ions—or—more rarely—under charge of their patrol. Nor Is this state of things by any means confined to Washington. From Alexandria, reports reach ns of a degree of disorder mid even violence among the troops there, which was unparalleled before their fate retain from battle. The truth is, discipline has been un pardonably neglected in every direction. Of ficers of all grades have been false to the ob ligations of the service, and the men have ta ken advantage of the laxity of their superior officers to break all military rules. Gen. McClellan finds bis new command of tbe army of the Potomac in a highly unsatis factory condition. Already he finds it necessary to be almost constantly among the various camps in person, to bring command ing officers, who should need no prompting, to a sense of their duty. The lounging and gossipping at hotels, ot the men in whom the country has reposed the tremendous trust of organizing victory for tbe army and safety for the people, is being stopped. The perambu-- lating of the streets, with weapons carelessly handled, and the frequenting or whisky shops by tbe rank and file of the army, is to be put an end to. Gen. McClellan even has it in con templation to cut up the evil by the roots, by an exercise of the military power incident to cases of emergency, and closing every drink ing saloon in Washington. Of one thing the people may rest assured, cur army here is now, for the first time, in really able and efficient bands. A man of rare administrative ability and distinguished prac tical qualities, combined with the love of dis cipline ot a thorough military man, Gen. Mc- Clellan is not to be trifled with, nor is he the man to suffer a great army to disgrace the Government, and lend strength and victory to th&enezny by its lack of organization and practical efficiency. Departure of Fremont’s military Fleet. [From the Missouri Democrat, Ist.} The departure of Major-General Fremont’s military expedition was unavoidably delayed till 3 oxlock yesterday afternoon. ' When the magnitude of the enterprise is considered,and the brevity of the time in which the prepara tions have been progressing—Fremont haying been scarcely a week in the city—the tact win appear’hat tiie movement has been conducted with extraordinary energy and celerity. At Ip.m., of yesterday, General Fremont and staff arrived at the lower ferry landing, in four carriages. They were received by a mili tary escort and accompanied on board the ferryboat, which then bore the party to the steamer City of Alton, amid a salvo of guns fired by the Chicago Light Artillery on. board that boat. Crowds of spectators witnessed the scene with deep interest and gratification. At a quarter past three o'clock, each vessel having weighed anchor, two signal guns from, tbe City of Alton gave the order for starting. - Tbe flag steamer led, and six others followed «in single file.” The eighth the Empress, re mained at the wharf, not being In complete readiness. The moving fleet snowed splen didly, with ensigns and pennons streaming, four of the boats swarming with joyous troops, guns firing, and bands playing in spiring melodies. The inspiring spectacle was. witnessed with delight and irrepressible en thusiasm by thousands of spectators. As the boats progressed, crowds rushed southward along the levee to keep the pageant as long as possible in view. At two and a half p. m., Capt Enel's artil lery corps marched-from Arsenal Park, and went bn board the steamer Empress with a full battery of six rifled cannon and several additional field pieces. Some two hours elapsed beiore the baggage, equipage, &c., were all on board, and the Empress then moved off at good speed to overtake and re join the fleet The operations, destination and object of this grand excursion remain undivulged, but will, doubtless, sufficiently appear in a few days. Having heretofore faßy du. bribed the forces embarked, we need only repeat that they at fireeent consist of four regiments—two of II- Lnolß, one of lowa, and one of Missouri, be sides the fine artillery corps of Capt Bnet Arrival of Xroop* from Sprinsfleld 9 MufOUli. [From the Missouri Democrat, Aug. Ist.] Yesterday evening CoL Salomon’s regiment and part of Col. Sigel's, arrived from the camp of Gen. Lyon at Springfield. They left that place on Monday last, and performed the march to Kolia, 123 miles, in three days. To morrow the remainder of CoL Sigel’s regi ment will probably arrive, also two lowa regiments under CoL Sates. They will be disbanded here, their three months being np, but nearly all of the two former will re enlist for the war and reorganize. They report all quiet at Springfield when they left, and no apprehensions of an attack by Jackson. Jackson's forces are reported as follows: Under Gen. Parsons, 2,500 men; nnder Rains, 2,(XX); nnder McCulloch, (Arkansas troops,) 2,500. In all,about 7,000. McCulloch’* troops are tolerably well armed. In one of his regi ments there are nearly 30Q negro slaves, do ing military duty, and for whose services tlje rebels promise to pay. The State rebels are vtry poorly armed. The country which they ba\ e traversed has been entirely laid waste. All the stock and grain has been seized. Hun dreds of families have deserted their houses, and are trying to leave the State. Many of them are encamped round General Lyon's camp in rude tents, where they stay for pro • lection. Hundreds are daily coming in from Arkan eas and Texas, driven out by the rebels. They represent that if the Fedsxal Government would send a force and arms to arm the peo ple, more than one-half of both-States would fight for the Union. The report of the killed on the rebel side has been greatly understated by false repre sentations. The people in the neighborhood affirm that there were at least one thousand, killed and wounded. Several trophies of the battle were brought up by the troops—several = secession flags, and % rebel Captain’s uniform —and several bars of iron fired from Jack son's cannon. They fired, also, four and eight pound weights, ar.d all sorts of slugs, &c. Some think that Lyon will have lo go after Jackson, if he wants to fight him, else there will not probably be any more about Spring field. ; BUUUry Affairs in Indians—Good OA< cell for the New Regiments.

These par ties are not alone hostile tc all free govern ment, not merely the infuriated foes of the United States, hut they are inflated with the belief that the war commenced upon the au thority of the Government will close in their compb te triumph. When the Federal power is folly restored at this point, and when the majesty of the. law. can no longer be insulted with impunity, it will be the first duty of the president and of General McClellan to root out all covert tad overt, treason from every community orerwhkh thefiigof our country, is permitted to float, beginning with Wash ing***.'. . j CHICAGO, SATUROft AUGUST 3, 1861.

A rifled cannon capable of throwing a pro jectile weighing sixty-four pounds, four miles and a half, has just been finished at the Nayy Yard. It weighs ten thousand pounds. PATTERSON’S TREASON. Those who have seen Gen. Patterson’s or ders from Gen. Scott, affirm that he was di rected first to attack Johnston, if that' were possible, and to intercept him; but in case that could not be done, to worry him, and as a last resort, himself to reinforce Gen. Me- DowelL He neither did nor attempted to do any of these tilings. ACCOUNTS PROM RICHMOND. Julius Bing, a civilian who was captured on the battle field, arrived here after a long jour si y from Manassas, by way of Richmond and Fredericksburg, in the course of which he was several times in danger from mobs, and' was only saved by Beauregard’sj>assi given him in consideration of his naturalization as a British subject, and by bis dispatqtils from the British Consul at Richmond Lyons. He says that the prisoners arii wounded are treated well on the whole.- *jut that the Fire Zouaves are caged in a through- the bars of which the perptj stare at them. The accom modations w.w so poor that there is talk of dis tributing the prisoners among the rebel States. He believes that there are not more than 70,000 soldiers in Virginia, and that there hftve never been over 40,000 at and about Manassas. There are no fortifications at Richmond worth speaking of; bnt Manassas is very strong. The rebels talk at Manassas and Richmond of crossing the Potomac below here, in fiat-boats, and of assaulting the Capital on the Maryland side; and no step, it may be added, could be more gratifying to Gen. McClellan. A rebel colonel, once employed in the War Depart* ment, boasted that he had exact advice in de tail before the battle touching plans, place and time. Beauregard wonts the attack on Washington, but Jeff Davis does not feyor theproject. FLAG OF TBtJCB BBOtJGHT IS. Last evening a flflg of .truce from Gen.

Gen.

The most outrageous falsehoods are bring circulated in Arkansas and Texas to in duce men to enlist in the rebellion. From WMblogton* Washington, Aug. 2.—From sources which are thought reliable, it is said the House of Representatives will be adverse to the pro posed increase of ten per cent upon the pres ent tariff It is believed to have been ascer tained that a-considerable majority will vote prrmptiy for its rejection. The Senate Military Committee are rigidly scrutinizing the army nominations sent In to them. It is not probable that Maj. Emory, or any ethers that have resigned at a critical moment, will be confirmed. Washington, Aug. 2.—The appropriations already made by Congress amount to twenty four million. The Secretary of War asks for twenty millions more for new volunteers. It is thought no more than the 500,000 volunteers will be excepted. Congress will probably adjourn on Monday. Retain of Cincinnati Volunteers* Bonois to the Brave, Cincinnati, Aug. 2. —The four Cincinnati companies of the 2d Ohio volunteers arrived here tills morning, from Washington. The reception was the grandest demonstration ever witnessed here. The Home Guards of Covington and Newport, Ky., and the reserve militia and the independent regiments of this city, were out in large force, and escorted the volunteers through some of the principal streets to the Bth street Park, where they were welcomed home by Judge Stover In an do- Client address. They alterwards partook of a banquet in the Park, provided bytne citizens. All along the line of march the streets were densely crowded, and the enthusiasm was un bounded. The volunteers were completely covered with the bouquets and wreaths show ered upon them.

Two gentlemen named Buck, one of whom lives in Massachusetts, the oth er in New York, having sons in the South* and hearing that a young man of their name bad been takenprisoner, came on last night, and to-day obtained permits to visit the jaiL Curiously enough th<*y m*t at the door .add entered together. The Massachusetts man instantly recognized his son a prisoner, aud fell senseless at his feet After he recovered from the shock, the son told him that he was teaching school in Virginia, and when the war broke ont was imuressed into the rebel ser vice at the point of the bayonet, and wonid gladly expaiate ids involuntary treason by serving as a private in the National army. Senator Wilson, who is interested in the case, will doubtless take measures for the release of this victim of Southern terrorism. GEN, m’CLELLAN’S CALL. It !s said by those who profess to speak of their own knowledge, that the credit of call ing Gen. McClellan to the command of the army of the Potomac belongs to President Lincoln, The majority of the Cabinet were indifferent, if not opposed to the change. Gen. McClellan did not return to his quar ters to-night from Virginia until nine o’clock. He seems to be almost constantly in the sad dle, attended by his staff and a body guard of twenty dragoons. CAPTURE 07 ARMS IS KENXUCKT. By a dispatch from Kentucky we learn that 15,000 stand of arms belonging to that State have been captured by the rebels, and the town of MaysviUe, where they were stored, occupied. Hon. M. sackeon,Member of Con gress from Kentucky, has urged the immedi ate dispatch of more arms for the use of loyal citizens. A 810 FALSEHOOD. The gigantic lie of Jeff Davis, in saying that he had captured a year’s provisions for 50,000 men, which is exposed by Beauregard’s Loudon proclamation, is'another indication of the straits to which the rebels are reduced. If a victory at Bull Bun would have pricked the Southern bubble, a victory somewhere else, as eoon as Gen. McClellan or Gen Fre mont is ready, will prick it A CANARD. A report that Gen. Cameron’s private sec retary fled with valuable papers, which is cur* rent to-night, and may be telegraphed to some incautious cotemporaries, is utterly unfound ed. SHARPE’S RIFLES. Commandant Dahlgren to-day made a re port to the Navy Yard on the Sharpe rifle, patent 1859, which was tested' last week at the Navy-yard by order of the Ordnance Bu reau, The report states that twenty shots were fired in lesstbanl>£minutes. Cartridges were fired after being submerged in water for four hours, and the rifle worked as well after firing 500 rounds as at the commencement. It was examined in the shop and reported in good order. The report being satisfactory, a large number have been ordered for the use of the Navy. Baker and. Breckinridge" ■■Exciting Paiuge-at-anaa in the Senate. [Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial.} WASHINGTON, AUgUSt 1, 1861. There was a great sensation In the Senate to-day, caused by Baker’s reply to Breckin ridge. The laUermade another speech, laying the slaughter before Hanaasas upon the Gov ernment, and said we were hurling the brave fellows into death for principles which three fourths of them abhor. Baker, who commands a regiment in the army, made a most eloquent and brilliant re joinder, directly to the effect that Breckin ridge’s appeals were made only to animate our enemies, who were advancing within twenty miles of the Capital to overturn the Govern ment. Were they not words of brflliantjpol ished treason uttered in the Capitol? what if a pnTTiftTi Senator in days of the Republic’s peril, had risen in his seat with his purple robe upon his shoulders, and declared that the advancing Hannibal was just, and Carthage ought to be dealt with in terms of peace? 'What would have been done with him? [Sum ner, aotto voce —“He would have been hurled from the Tarpeian Rock.”] Baker took up the words and made a mag nificent allusion to the toleration of free speech—one institution which protected even Senators hostile to the government of their country. For himself speaking for his people, even amid defeat, disaster and disgrace, he enter tained no fear of the grand result—the ulti mate triumph over the treason for which the Senator had too often to apologize, was cer tain. Breckinridge rejoined as coolly as a cast iron image. Me was veiy careful and meas med, and took care not to resent any thing Baker said, but selected Sumner’s interpolar tionto express what he called “indignation at an insult to a Senator speaking in his place.” If any Senator deserves the Amen can Tarpeian, it was thei Massachusetts Sena tor. Sumner having gone out, there was no reply to this. Order aid IMndpltae Beetowd.

A courier fromGanley’s Bridge arrived in town this morning, bringing the intelligence that General Coxnsrftncceeded in getting up with Wise's party at that point on Sunday morning. -As soon hs oar scouts were seen intelligence was conveyed to Wise, who beat a precipitate leaving behind for our use several'casks of bacon, 1,500 muskets, a large lot of ammunition, tents, and other camp equipage. In his retreat he has burned all the bridges on. the road. He is now re ported encamped in a stronghold eighteen miles above Gauley’s river. Cob Tyler succeeded in joining Cox on Sunday. He is now encamped on the opposite side or the river. A halt will be made here for several days to refresh, the troops who are exhausted by their long march, when k the two divisions will unite and give Wise an other chase. Our men. are in good spirits and anxious to be led into battle immediately. It is reported by a soldier of the 2nd Ken* tacky Regiment, who has just arrived from, the camp, that Cspt. A. J. Jenkins (ei-Con gressman), 'was shot by one ot onr bcoats In the neck and mortally -wounded. - This news is received with great joy by the Inhabitants of the border. Jenkins is a desperate character and is held in fear by tbs whole community. He carries on a sort ot guerrilla warfare upon unarmed citizens, acdrobs them- ot all they possess. Sis command >s made up of all the villains of this section of-the country, who are well mounted and armed and are thus enabled to proceed from one section of the country to another In surprising short time. If this news should prove true, and 1 think it is reliable, it 1b the best we have had in a long time. At Charleston all Is quiet and a strong Un ion feeling prevails. Those who were driven away on account of their Union sentiments are returning, and confidence is once more re stored. Lewis Refiner, Esq., a member of the late convention at Wheeling, returned to Charleston to-day on the Silver Lake. He will immediately organize Home Guard companies along the Kanawha, and promptly put down all attempts of the rebels to again rally. The Truth Coming Oat The rebel loss .at the battle of “Stone Bridge,” as the Southern papers call it, -was more severe than the first dispatches reported it. The number of killed and wounded con fessed to is not much short of 3,000. The truth would make it nearer 4,000. From the present imperfect reports we gather the fol lowing list of field officers killed and wound ed: •HTtr.im OB »OBTAT.LY WOUHPBD. Gen. Bernard E. Bee, South Carolina. Gen. Francis 8.

The Captains and petty officers are in pro* portion, and the long list of names hears painful testimony to the desperate assaults mad e by our army. It is a Mr estimate that they tost more in hilled and wounded than we did in killed, wounded, prisoners and missing. Gem Bee, one of their slain, was a cadet of 1844, and won distinction in the Mexican war. Gem Bartow, was a prominent Georgia poli tician—young aud ambitious. Lieutenant- Colonel Johnson was a South Carolina lawyer, and has two brothers, who are clergymen, one being Chaplain to the Wade HsmptouLejdon, ot which the deceased was second officer. Major Wheat was well, if not favorably, known as the embodiment of fillibustering chivalry. Gen. Kirby Smith is from Florida—a cadet of 1843, and served in Mexico withhonor. Cob Gartrell was a member of Congress from Georgia. Among the Captains hilled was John Avis of Winchester, va., the jailor of Old John Brown. Ip Pulton. Treason of Government Officehold er* ExpoMd; Mr. Potter, from the Select Committee on the Loyalty of Government Employees, on Wednesday last made the following special re port: The Committee appointed to investigate, ascertain, and report to the House the number of persons, with the names thereof now em ployed In the several departments -of the Government of the United States, and who have refused to take the oath to support the -Constitution of the United State*, beg leave to report m part to the House aaToilow*: The Committee “have given to the inquiry all the attention which their limited time and the pressure of other duties would allow, but have as yet scarcely advanced beyond its threshold. They have, however, examined a large number of witnesses, and have no hesi tation in saying that the testimony adduced has been of such a character as to fully justify the action of the House in the premises, and. to show the imperative necessity of the inves tigation which has been instituted. The Committee, though prepared to believe that the popular conviction in respect to the general nnsoundness of the Departments in ihe particular referred to was well founded, yet must confess that they have been aston ished at the number and aggravation of the well authenticated cases of disloyalty to the Government, which, in the course of their investigations, have been brought to their notice. That persons should be thus disloyal to a Government which has confided to them its •acred trusts, in whose employ they have found support for themselves and families, and to which their fidelity is due by every consideration which appeals not only to the honor of the public officer, but to the honesty of the man, and that such persons should be retained in office, and in some instances re tained where the frets have been brought to the knowledge of those who have the power of removal, must be the occasion of profound grief and humiliation to every patriotic and loyal heart A**d their retention in office, especially In the present critical condition of the Government, can be justified by no assumed necessity or convenience of the pub lic service, and may well excite the honest in dignation of the country. The Committee, while prepared to make these general state ments, which are concurred in by every mem ber of the Committee, find that it will be Im possible to complete the work assigned to tiUm, and makp. a report thereof within the probable limits of the present session. They therefore ask leave to sit during the recess of Congress, and ask the adoption of the accom panying report. _ John F. Potter, Chairman.

S. Mather, Adj't Gen’L A Slfignltr Beuon for Inrabordln*' The Washington correspondent of the X. Y. Tones gives the following singular reason why the streets of Washington were permitted to be filled with demoralized soldiers after the battle of Bull’s Bun: Many civilians have been very much sur trised that the military authorities should aye permitted the stragglers of the demoral ized regiments to go around Washington and Alexandria, without any apparent effort to sift them apart, and gather them up by companies and regiments. Gen. Scott explains that by letting volunteers run loose as it were after such a disaster, they much more rapidly re* cover their spirits and get over the fatigues of the fight and the retreat—that being habitu ated to reading and hearing news, they would become discontented and morose if they were ■at once returned to rigid discipline and the se clusion of a camp. By letting them mix to gether, and talk it oyer, they soon hear of all there is to be said—to realize the extent of the disaster—to reyiye their hopes and inflame their desires for revenging the deaths of their iriends, and reversing the tide of battle. For these reasons, no more notice was token of the members of the disorganized regiments to guard, .against any acts of violence. After three or four days oi idleness, the men went almost of their own accordjback to camp, and resumed with apparent relish camp duty and camp fare. A Bio Scabs.—One of the numerous Orea dorffl who live in the vicinity of this qty was. in town about tbs time the news came of the disastrous defeat at Bull’s Bun. and In hl« traitorous ecstacy add it was the best news he ever heard. That same evening he got a big scare-on, from some cause unexplained, and came to the conclusion that he was going to be attacked for his assertions during the day. •He therefore called in the whole tribe of re-~ Utives, aft the rifles, shot-guns, corn-cutters, pitchforks, and such like weapons, that could be raised, and barricaded the house.
