e captured battery was soon retaken by the Confederates. The fight continued thus for nine hours, when the Confederate forces charged upon the left wing of the Federalists, and the whole were routed. Mr. Russell says that the loss in killed, wounded and prisoners on the Federal side, must be at least 12,000. He calls it a disastrous defeat. The same writer says that at the muster of the Fire Zouaves last night, only 103 answered to their names. The 69th brought home 256 out of 1,000, and the 71st 329 out of 1,100. Col.

upon the part of the Federalists to revive the drooping spirits of their defeated soldiery, by glorifying Gen. McClellan and attributing to him military abilities not warranted. One of the correspondents of a Northern paper says: If the War Department wishes to retrieve the fortunes of the country, let them get Major-General McClellan, raise him to the rank of a Lieutenant General by brevet, and give him the control of the army, Such an arrangement would be eminently satisfactory to Gen. Scott, and it is, perhaps, the only thing that can infuse life and spirit into our now drooping soldiers. If we had had in the field and upon the spot a General like Beauregard, the disaster would not have reached its present fearful proportions. There could have been no rout; no loss of cannon; no throwing away of muskets and knapsacks.
