The War for the Union. Wasiiiscto:. July 23. ' The Zouaves, alter taking one battery were rushing upon another, when those Whind it cried out, ;For God's sake, do u'ol khoot your brothers." Upon this the '"Zouaves reserved iheir fire, until a volley was poured in upon them by the Lattery from which the -supplication had come. A disheartened member of Congress irt flpn. Scott vesterdav. "We're c v - j j .beaten."- The old man straightening up himself, replied, No, sir! no, sir! we're not beaten; the Government isn't beat en! Some remarked to Gov. Seward that we were not defeated on Sunday, he answered, "We've found that out now, but.lbo late." VJ til L'Vl'U w - - ' v the President that be had for the first licae in his life acted the coward, by yiel ding, to th urgency of the pudir, the he was .:r vancing upon luaaassas teiore ready. Yet probably "euiy "C man. and there vveremanv. v.ij u re in Gen.

About half-past 7 o'clock, while Elen ker'a Brigade was still at Centerville, Gov. Spr8guc rode up, as cool as if in a parlor and said: "I am withdrawing the Rhode Island troops in good order. You must help me make a stand here." The officers to whom he had spoken express ing their readiness to do so, he added. ' "I have received no orders all day. We have been fighting on our own hook. Where has Gen. McDowell been ? No one knew. The conduct of Gov, Sprague through and after the engagement was tharacterized by the greatest self-possession, and considering his entire separa tion from military pursuits, his conduct amounted to the highest heroism. "When cornstalk Generals are spawned every day, to get drunk and runaway, why is; Le not offered a Major-Generalship ? - The colors of the Fifth Massachusetts Regiment were lost in the last fight, but were rescued by one of the reporters; Mr Stedman of the "World." During the fight, the rebels carried American flags to deceive our men, and when small squads had got separated from their regiments, approached these flags, they, were fired upon and slaughtered. The rebels also fired upon the wounded, standing them up for targets, and then firing at them. One of the Connecticut men saw this done. A number of the Second New York saw the rebel sharp shooters fire upon and kill two vivandiers, who were giving wine and water to the wounded. , The rebels also shot at ambulances, bringing off the dead and wounded. They also fired point blank at the build ings used as hospitals, and it is said by some' that hey fired the buildings. Capt. Haggerty, of the Sixty-ninth, was killed in a charge. When his body was found, his throat was cut from ear to far, and his ears and nose were cut off. Many of the wounded are found thus disfigured. It is charged very positively that Capt. Alexander, of the regular army, who was in command of a battery, showeJ cow ardice, and was the first to run awaj When the colors of the Sixty-ninth were captured by the Virginians, two of them seized the flags and were going off with them, when Lietenant Matthews of Company K., Fire Zouaves, killed two out of them, and recovered the flags. ' Cant. Wildev. of Company I, Zouaves killed two out of four Mississippians who were dragging a gun. All our men a gree in. representing that the rebel in- ISUiry will UUl ciuwu a. lati ijui, cvcil with three to our one. They gave way whenever attacked, when not supported by artillery. Many of the citizens of Washington are again leaving the city, fearful of an attack from rebels under Bearegard. The secessionists of Washington make no concealment of their exultation. The prisoners taken from the rebel camp and m connnemeni in asmngion, are iioer illy supplied with cakes, pies, wines and clothing by women who commend them as the greatest patriots of the country. Our loss of field pieces is not so great as was at first supposed. Every gun of Sherman's battery was saved, only some caissons being lost. The loss of baggage wagons will not exceed fifty. In small arms, our loss is more than four thousand. The removal of Gen. Patterson was in' response to strong remonstrances from Philadelphia, from men who questioned ' his loyalty. It will be remembered that after the surrender of Sumter, the peo ple of Philadelphia demanded that cer tain persons should display the American flufr nr1 thp first honsfi visited bv i!ippt. i .. rj r... non. . The unerring instincts of the mob, -pointed him out then, as a sympathizer with the rebels, and later events go far to prove they were correct. A spectator of the scene tells me that the Zouaves literally decimated the Black v.i ' J - . " At the middle of the battle the Zouaves fired by platoons upon the rebel infantry stationed in the woods. After they had fired they discovered a troop of horse : coming down on their rear.

The regiment faced and received the cav Jnjry tt they came down, with level bay oneu. which threw them in coufusion. 'Thenwy went muskets, and the Fire Zouaves went in with their knives and pistols. They seized horses and stabbed their riders, "in this hand-to hand con flict. the Black IJorse Troop were handled in their own professed way of fighting. The sequel showed the Zouaves to be the most expert handlers of the knife. ' When the fight y. as over there was r.t-t over twenty of the four hundred rsTtlry left ftlive. Men aci horses had Vepncut to nieces by the 'iiifurisued Red Seventy-ninth has not lo3t over forty in killed. The Zouaves suffered more se verely, as did abo the Sixty-ninth. Cap. T. F. Meagher had a horse shot under him, but he was untouched. All of our losses were in advancing none in falling bock. There was nopanic in front. This was confined mostly to tie. wagon driv ers, straggling soldiers and fugitive of ficers, at the rear of the columns. Gen. McDowell behaved admirably. He was active, cool, and attended to ev erything in person, so far as possible ; but he had not a sufficient staff, and was nof properly supported . : by his' subordi nates. Maj. Wordsworth, of New York one of his aids, showed the utmost gal lantry and devotlon.l HPexerted' him self to rally the forces when they first fell back, and towards the close, after having his horse shot under him, seized the colors of the New York Fourteenth, and called on the boys to rally once more to the glorious old flag. - Private Tyler took hold of ihe colors with him, and the regiment rallied to another charge,' but without success." Maj. Wadswonh, as the army retrcr.tJj, remained at Fair- Shirts. This ted that they in the grounds of The losses pen A i!ivp rem rrra - r troop of Cavalry iiad boas- v;o:uh picket ther Worses the White House. . of the New lork red ly overstated. Th purcaasing eycrytamg needed tor tne wounded, of whom about a hundred and fifty were at that place. Col. Burnside displayed great cctivity and courage at every stage of the fight, and is eager to renew it in spite of his wounds. When the Fourteeth New York entered the field, they passed a wounded major of the rebel army, who begged for water. A private gave it to him, and he offered a gold watch in return. The private declined to take it, but the major insisted, as;he said some one else would get it if he did not. The testimony is universal to the bar barity and ferocity with which our woun ded were treated by the rebels. Gen. Scott is in good spirits, and hard at work. A correspondent of the N. Y. Herald says he was leading his horse over nu merous dead bodies, when his attention was attracted by deep moans. Turning about he saw a Virginia cavalry officer with both his legs shot off. A draught of water seemed to revive him, when, in answer to questions, he said he was an officer of the Fairfax cavalry, and his horse being shot under him the ball ta king off both of his legs he crept a few yards to lie down and die. He said the rebels had upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand men at Manassas, and that, according to his judgment, they could not have less than from four to five thousand men killed and wounded in the battle. The scenes on the battlefield -beggar description. The ground was strewn with the dead, the dying, and the woun ded. Here lay one man .vith his leg shot off, there another with a wound in his head, another with an arm shot off, and hundreds wounded in nearly all the va rious portions of the body. The shrieks of agony of the suffering soldiers were sufficient to goad ourfcgallant troops to desperation, and with maddening impet uosity they advanced upon the enemy. The barbarity practiced by the rebels to wards the wounded men in this encoun ter, throws to the winds the boasted chiv alry of the South, and their assumption of Samaritan tenderness. - They tram pled the wounded and dying victims of their powder and lead to the ground-fired upon nurses engaged in tarrying away the wounded threw hot shot into build ings ustd ai hoi-pitals, setting fire to them The rebels engaged with our 'forces at "Bull's Kun commit! d all these diaboli cal deeds, which have, ns yet, only been equalled by the East Indian Sepoys and the Tartars of old. They comrnpneed these acts on Thursday, this side of Bull's Run, on the wounded -of the First Mas sachusetts and Twelfth New York Vol unteer Regiments, and continued it on Sunday. The civil and military heads of the government have had a meeting at the White House to-day, and reviewed the past, looked the present strongly in the face, and endeavored to account for the picture presented. Congress and the newspapers were charged with the awful responsibility of the failure on Sunday at Bull's run. The President leaned wholly upon the judgment of his great military chieftain, General Scott. The latter said: "I am the greatest coward in the army, and ought to be re moved for surrendering my own cpinion of duty, in a crisis like this, to popular clamor, induced by bunkum threats i.i Congressand daily newspaper harangue." Gen. Scott has for a long time been of the opinion, in view of the well drilled militia of the South, that camps of in struction should be established for our troops, and that they should be thorough ly educated before venturing into the field in active service. The popular sen timent of the people,, which is frequent ly very erroneous, and proved to be so at this time, overruled Gen. Scott, and an early battle was determined upon. It has been had, and the results are before us. The barbarities practiced by the rebel? at the battle of Bull's Run, are tnparal leled. An instance is related where a private of the 1st Connecticut Regiment found a wounded rebel lying in the sun, and lifted him up ond carried him to a shade, where he gently layed him and gave him a drink from his canteen. Re vived by the drink, the ingrate drew his pistol and shot his benefactor through the heart. Another instance is related, of a troop of rebel cavalry deliberately firing upon a number of wounded men. who had been placed together in the shade by their comrades, and among whom was a rebel officer, who Lad received the same kind attention. It is said by Virginians who have come from the battle-field, that these fiends in human shape have taken the bayonets and knives of our wounded and dying soldiers, and thrust them into their hearts and left them sticking there, and that some of the Louisiana Zouaves have severed the heads of our dead from their bodies, and amused themselves by kicking them about as footballs. Such barbarities are unworthy of a Christain era. They are a sample of the boasted chivalry of these worse than fiends. A Zouave who was taken prisoner, with six others, and who subsequently effected an esccre, arrived here to-night with a broken handcuff on his wrist. He renortei that the Zouaves were treated with Indian barbarity by the rebel?, many j being pinioned to trees and tormented j with bayonets thrust at them. j Captain Downey, of the Zouaves, was wounded on the field, and his body was found literally cut to pieces. It was cut into four quarters. During the lattte a great' many .inte resting scenes occurred.- Col. Cowdin.of the First Massachusetts Rrgimor.t, was leaning his back against a tree in a very exposed position, when a friend expostu lated with him for Us recklessness. The Colonel s.vid the bidU? v:is not moulded that would shoot him :hat day. In a few seconds after another personal friend came up, and reaching out his hand to the Colonel, the la'.ter-stcoped a little to grasp it, when a conical cannon ball struck on the spot where an instant before was the head of CoL Cowdin, shattering the tree into splinters. .The Colonel turned about calmly and remarked "that he was certain that the ball that would kill him was not yet cast," and proceedtd to issue commands.

The Nebraska Regiment is now full so far as the number of companies is concern ed, and is almost ready to take up the line of march fcr the fitld of battle, no matter where it may be. The late defeat of the Federal forces in Virginia has created a spirit of revenge among cur volunteers, and they are anx ious to be sent South where they would have an opportunity to rush to the rescue, join in the fierce and bloody conflict, and come off the field as conquerors covered with ihe halo of glory, or die tinder the. free and starry Flag of our country,,, becorr.cth t'ie noble sons of the glorious Nurth, as soldiers of a free, en'-Tghtid. and powerful Republic, and as: Spartans of a modern nge. We may not give mankind to under stand that we are the most perfectly dis ciplined soldiers, m the world, but if we have an opportunity to show our courage, the nations may learn that the children of the North-west are not the least brave among the warriors known. The volunteer's life is not the most pleasant imaginable. It sears the con science, and tend? to make the man a sav age. It obliterates the finer feelings, im. planting in their stead the stern and re lentless, and forms the man a hardened stoic. It throws over the grand and beau tiful, a pall of darkness impenetrable, wipes out the thoughts that appreciate the sublime and perfect, and creates a burn ing thirst for the dark and terrific, the terrible and bloody, the rear of cannon and the conflict tireless. Yet, as we are serving God. in serving our Country, we must lake the times and changes as they come ; we must hold our heads above the billows, and breast the storms with which the fiends assail us. We have enlisted to fight for the Union, and we will fight for it until we die; but for the sake of peace, that the arts may flourish, and the sciences improve, that civilization may spread over the whole earth, for the sake of Justice, and for Humanity's cause, let the war be sanguinary and fearful, let it be terrible but brief. In the writers?s last article the name of Miss Ingols shoula have been men tioned as an active participant in getting up the volunteers' dinner. Let the writer assure her that though she is last named, she may not be least remembered, Eut that in days to come wb'-n w Shall ponder o'r tha iast, And then once more bo boys of "C" To Fjwak the fair ones eulogy She may not be the last. The Chaplains's tnarile did not fall upon the Rev. Haskell. He nowrs a re jected priest, and may go -form idols for his satellites to worship. He has called some members of Company C" "pups" (his vernacular,) but they" regard him only as a "dog returned to his vomit," and trust that as the spell which made them immoral, is dispelled, and the magi cians wand broken, they may improve apace in morals, become respectable sol diers, and fit candidates for Heaven. G. What tcIH Yon do ttilli tlieci ? The ques'ion is often asked by seces sionists and. sympathizers therewith, "Suppose you do conquer the rebels by superior force, what w 11 you do with them after they are whipped ? Keep a standing army on '.them?" A late num ber of the New York Post contains an ; excellent article upon that very subject, ! from which we extract the following: "With regard to .the notion that, if the rebellion be now subdued, the south ern States wiii i;3Tnalcontent fora hun dred years, all history denies it. In S. Carolina, during our . Revolution, the lo ries gained the upper hand, as the insur gents now have done. They were sub dued; South Carolina was made to lake her place in the 'Union, and remaine I loyal for more than half a century. There was an insurrection called the Shays war in Western Massachusetts, soon after the first war with Great Britain. The disaf fection was widely spread; but it was put down at the point of the bayonet the di.-alfected were made to take the oath of allegiance ; the whole affair was for gotten in a few years, and Western Mas sachusetts is a3 loyal as any part of the State. -. There was a Whisky Insurrection in Pennsylvania; it was subdued by force and no disaffection was heard afterward. If we turn to the history of other coun tries, what do we learn from the example of the various civil wars . which have oc curred in England? The war between the rival Houses of York and Lancaster, bloody as it was, left no legacy of bit terness to future generations. The polit ical religions party which brought Charles j I. to tbe block, and ruled Lngland under Cromwell, was forced to yield to a more powerful party, bringing into the field a formidable force, and the kingdom accep ted back the heir of the old dynasty, bad as he was, in peace. Afterward came the struggle in favor of the pre tender, a powerful and desperate strug gle in Scotland b;U what part of the country is now more loyal than Scotland? We had a few years since a revolt in Canada, in which all the French popula tion, took part. The insurgents were worsted and had to submit. What trace of the discontents which caused that re volt are now visible ? In France, so often convulsed with civ il wars, we see the population accommo dating themselves with perfect flexibili ty to the order of things last imposed, whatever it may be. The province of La Vendee, which, in the time of the Revolution, made such a stand for the Bourbons, and flowed with blood in all its green lanes, is now as quietly subject to a scion of the family of Napoleon as any other part of the empire. In Swit zerland rebellions against the Federal Government are not unfrequent they are subdued, and the disaffecte'd canton returns to the path of duty, pursuing it as peacefully as il it had never attemp ted a revolt. There was a war a feiv years siuce between the Canton of Bern and the Federal authority ; the Canton was obliged to submit, and that is the last we hear of the strife. In short, it is the habit of mankind wIipii a rebellion is put down by an ade quate force, peaceably to submit, and to accept the old order ot things as perma nent. Ifihis be not always the ca?-e, ihe ex.'ft'ptions are but occasional and rare Ait-pariures from a general rule. St'd more certain is the acquiescence of ?he community to be peaceful, contented and la-ting, when, as now, those who have risen against the Government had no occasion to complain of it, and only knew of its existence by the benefits it conferred. It is, therefore, but empty declamation to talk of the deep and enduring dis content which ihe defeat of the conspira cy will plant in the breasts of our South ern countrymen. There is nothing more certain than that such a defeat is the on ly means of restoring perfect amity and good will between the different parts o the Union. Lashed and driven as they have been bv an indignant and outrageu cuusiiiucm- cv from their position of unconditional 1 ' UnltfM lift- Union, they are now seeing aucuci un der the miserable absurdity of "armed nutrality." . About the only truth m Paschall s ar ticle is that in which he states my policy to be a peace policy. This is true. ' I am for p-ace, and so is everybody else except Lincoln and Frank Blair. ' You will do me an especial favor to inform Mr. Paschall that whenever Gov. Jackson wishes his position upon matters cf public-interest properly slated. before the public, be will take som uireci way of doing it, and not rely upon'the colored and garbled statements of a set of men. who, under the garb of friendship: seek to obtain his confidence only to betray it, and play the part of pimps and t-pu'S. I do not think Missouri should srcrde today or to-morrow, but I do not think H good policy that I should publicly dis close. I want a little time to arm in? State, and I am assuming every respon sibility to do it with all possible dispatch. Missouri should act in concert with Ken tucky and Tennessee. They are all bound to go out, and should go together, if pos sible. My judgment is that North Car olina. Tennessee and Arkansas will all be out in a few days, and when they go, Missouri should follow. Let us then prepare to make our exit. We should keep our own counsels. Fvery man in the State is in favor of arming the State. Then let it be done. All are opposed to furnishing Mr. Lincoln with soldiers. Time will settle the balance. Nothing should be said about the time or the man ner in which Missouri should go out. That she ought to go out at the proper time, I have no doubt. She ought to have gone outlast winter, when she could have seized the public arms and public property and defended herself. This she has failed to do and must now wait awhile. " m a " nation throughout the Confederate Mates never to yield to its infamous usurpations and Draconian cruelties. Annr Rations. There has been a good deal of bitter talk in the newspapers about the badness of the army supplies and the wretched condition of our volunteers. It is notice able that many of these complaints are vacue and general, and that of the few which are specific, and pointed to par ticular regiments, the most have been prove unfounded, either by the men them selves who" we re reported to be sufTVr ing, or by reasonable persons sent t make proper examination. V, heretheie has ben su'dering it has been tempora ry, and in every case which has come n notlc ' it was not the army rations which caused it, but the carelessness and in competency of regimental quartermas ters and other officers, who ha! been r.p poinJed to stations of whose duties they were ignorant. Of course everybody r?joiee3 that Con gress has improved the food of cur sol diers by substituting fresh for salt beef, wherever it can be had, and by adding four ounces to the daily ration cf bread. But we must not forget that the troop which have now been in camp several months have retained, and do now enjoy, remarkably good health, and this through our immense volunteer army is taken from comfortable and often luxurious homes, and has been exposed, with no preliminary preparation, to all the chanc es, discomforts and privations of camp life, and to extremes of heat to which but a smatl number of the men were ac customed.

We had an interview of ten minutes, not more. It was strictly private and confi dential. Neither was at liberty to repeat what the other said, much less was either Ii censed to mistake and misrepresent the position of the other. Gov. Price asked ne what I thought as to the time of cal ling the convention; I told him not to be in a hurry, but to wait till the legisla ture met, and to be here at that time, so that we could consult with the members from all parts ot the State, and fix upon a proper time; that in my opinion we should not go out of ihe Union vnlU the Legislature had time to arm the Slate to some extent, and place it in a proper position of ('efense. This was, ia substance, the sum total of all-1 said. Gov. Price said many things tome, in that short interview; which I am not at liberty to repeat, and vhich I could not do without doing violence to my sense of honor, violating every rule of pro priety which governs the intercourse of gentlemen, and forfeiting all claim to the position of an honorable member of com munity. It it.be the purpose of Paschall and Price to make me endorse the position of the "Republican," and the miserably base and cowardly conduct of Governor Priced submission convention, then they are wofully mistaken.
