THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: THURSDAY ...............-. August 8, 1661. ————— SS See Ova Friznve at the various military camps and Positions will confer a favor by keeping us posted 82 to movements and affairs in thelr vicinities. Spirit ef the Merning Press The Intelligenesr notices the inconsistency of the seceded States in excepting the Border Slave States in their declaration of war, and then in- vading their territory with their armies, to lay ‘waste and devastate it. The Republican asserts that the “principal Officers In the feld doubted the policy of the at- taek of July 2ist upon Manassas.”’ +e - THE NEWS HERE. ——_——_ Aw Entexntatnmunt.—There was a brilliant entertalnment last evening, at the residence of Secretary Seward, in honor of Prince Napoléon. ‘That gentleman (who wore his decorations of the Legion of Honor on his breast) and Pr. Russell, ‘the war correspondent of the London Times,were the lions of the occasion. The Prince’s suite were also present, as weil as all the members of the diplomatic corps at present in Washington, anda large number of distinguished military and naval Officers and civilians. The array of female beauty and fashion, too, is said to have been dazzling. eS eee CoxFinmep.—Captain Andrew A. Harwood, who bas been temporarily acting as Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography, was, on the last day of the session of Congress, nominated and confirmed. Ex-Govgrnor Randall, of Wisconsin, bas been confired as Minister to Rome, vice Rufus King, Resigned, to take command of the Wisconsin brigade. John P. Lovejoy, of lowa, brother of Owen Lovejoy, has been confirmed as Consul to Callao ——— Puince NaroLgon started this morning at 6 o'clock, accompanied by his suite, for the other side of the river, designing to pass out of our lines Within those of the disunion army, at least as far &s Pairfax Court House, if not to Manassss Junc- tion. We hear that General McDowelt probably ‘caused him to be escor'ed through our lines by two ‘companies of United States cavalry. ~ + 7 Dismissev yRom tHE Szevice.—Lieutenant H.

Bustvess any Money at tue Sovru.—The following dispatches appear In the Charleston Mercury of July 24: Naw Ogeans, July 20 —We have tice an inactive market in nearly every branch of trade. With the exception of some movement in sugar, partly to supply the demand for consump- tion and partly on speculation, operations have ‘more restricted than last Week. The money market is quoted thus: Money Market —The money market continues ‘to maintain the same inactive and very stringent character before noticed. ‘There is not the least ‘excitement In the market, however. In vie: of the little disposttion that prevails among capfal- ists to invest at this time, very few parties are offering their paper atali. The banks are ina position to act favorably on applications for such ‘Sums as are actually needed by thei+ ~--s-w- sw 2-- the purpose or tation supplies, and the num- Der of borrowers in the out-door market is, In con- jwence, not very great In the occasional trans- jons that we hear of the ruling rates are 1} °3 per cent. per month for select ee and 2a3 per cent. per month for the hig! grade of long and short commercial paper. ‘ain tono- A Battimore Bric Szizep anv Gives Ur sy Privateers -We learn from the Exchange Read- = Room books that Capt.

GENERAL M’DOWELL’s REPORT. Gen. McDowell’s report of the battle of Bull Run, made on the 4th inst., to the Commander- in-Chief, embraces forty pages of manuscript, without the division, brigade and regimental reports accompanying it, which in all number one hundred and seven distinct papers. We have only space to-day in which to say concerning it, that it sets down our killed and wounded of the disastrous day as follows. Viz: Killed—19 officers and 462 non-commissioned officers and privates Wounded—64 officers, and 947 non-commissioned officers and privates. He says: ‘* Many of the wounded will soon be able to join the ranks, and will leave our total of killed and disabled from further service, under one thousand. . The return of the missing is very inaccurate; the men supposed to be missing having fallen into other regiments and gone to Washington— many of the Zouaves to New York. In one brigade, the number originally reported at 616 was yesterday reduced to 174. These reductions are being daily made ” According to this report Mafor James 8. Wads- worth, of N. Y_, had a horse killed under him in the engagement. General McD. concludes his report as follows. Viz: “In conclusion, I desire to say in reference to the events of the 2ist ult., that the General Order for the battle to which I have referred was, with slight modifications, literally conformed to; that the corps were brought over Bull Run in the manner proposed, and put into action as before arranged; and that up to late In the afternoon every movement ordered was conveying us suc- cessfully to the object we had proposed before starting—that of getting to the railroad leading from Manassas to the Valley of Virginia, and going on it far enough to break up and destroy the communication and interpose between the forces under Beauregard and those under Jobn- son; and could we have fought a day—yes, a few hours sooner, there is everything to show that we should have continued successful, even against the odds with which we contended.” Note.—It strikes us that the misfortune was the failure of Gen. Tyler's division, ora force of some five or six or seven hundren men—cavalry, infant ry, and artillery—or of even less numbers, to push by a forced march, on first reaching Germantown, for Gainesville, via the excellent and then unde- fended ‘Gum Spring” road, to or about Gaines- ville, (seven miles north of the Junction,) and there to burn and destroy one, two, or three neigh- boring Manassas railroad bridges. It might have cost the loss of the small force sent to perform the service; but would probably have effectually pre- vented Johnson’s junction with Beauregard. MORE BRIGADIER GENERALS APPOINTED. The President to-day made the following ad- ditional appointments of Brigadier Generals of the volunteer force, viz: Col E. D. Keyes, of the 11th Infantry, U.S.A. Col. Fitz John Porter, of the 15th Infantry, U. S.A. Henry H. Lockwood, late of the U.8.A , and long Professor of Gunnery and Mathematics in the Naval School at Annapolis—all three compe- tent and experienced military men. PROMOTED. ‘The following is a list of the Masters (in the Navy) recently promoted to be Lieutenants by the Presidentand Senate. Viz: E.A. Selden, H. D Todd, Jas. M. Pritchett, Edward Terry, C. J. Graves, Francis M. Bounce, Byron Wilson, Henry B. Seely, Frederick V. McNair, Jno. W. Kelly, Artbur R. Yates, Clark Merchant, Henry P. Mil- ler, Allen V. Reed, John Adams Howell, Charles L. Franklin, Henry L. Howison, George Dewey, Joshua Bishop, George P. White, Henry Martin Blue, Albert Kantz. NAVAL NOMINATIONS REJECTED. The Senate in acting on the naval nominations recently made by the President, Tejected those of Commander Samuel Lockwood to bea Captain, and Lt. Wm. BH. Ball w ue e We suusauucr- While there may be reason for such action in the case of Commander Lockwood, we can con- ceive of no reason whatever for according such treatment to Lt. Ball, one of the very first officers of the service, and though every inch a Vir. ginian, of unquestionable loyalty to the United States. The fact of his relstionship to the Fairfax “Balls,” some of whom are disloyal, may have brought about the rejection of kis nomination through lack of knowledge of his personal an- tecedents The Senate will, however, doubtless correct this mistake of theirs next winter, we presume.

So help meGod. And if found in ans against the Confederate States, or any of themor if guilty of violation of any of the particulrs aforesaid, the penalty shall be death. NAVY YARD. This morning, the Mt. Vernon went down ne river, probably with mails for the fleet, this dty being performed at present by the steamers e- tained at the yard. The James Jerome left te wharf and went around to the Eleventh stret wharf last night, where she receives a cargo or New York. A number of workmen are now employed in the construction of a new wall at the north corner of the yard, enlarging the premises con- siderably. The earth belag soft, »iles are driven to the depth of thirty or forty fet upon which plank are laid down, and th wall erected. When completed this will be quite an improve- ment to that portion of the yarc, and render the premises much more secure thm when enclosed by the old board fence. VOLUNTRERS OF FOREIGN MTIONALITY. General order No. 45, which probibits volun- teers who do not speak the Englsh language from being mustered into service, asiow officially ex- Plained, is not intended to appl; to regiments or companies of foreign nationality, in which men and officers speak the same tomue, but to pre- vent the enlistment into regimat or companies whose officers speak the Englisi language only, of men not understanding it, ami to tuduce such Persons to enlist under officers whose language they do not u::derstand. PRICKING THE BUBBLE OF THEIE REFUTATION. Itissaid that General Heintzlenan in his report of the share of his division in the battle of Bull Run, avers that the Elisworth Zoiaves broke, on the enemy’s first fire, (from an Alabama regi- ment,) and never formed again throughout the day! APFAIRS IN THE ALLEGANY REGION [Special correspondence of The Star ] Winston, Allegany county, Md , Aug. 1, 1861 This place is now occupied by United States vol- unteers, and all secessionists have left who possi- bly could get away. Itis thought that this will be made a military post for a short time at least, entrenchments being thrown up, and several re- giments encamped in the Immediate vicinity, among which are the Eighth Ohio and Seven- teenth Indiana volunteers. The encampment Is called Camp Pendleton, and the same name has been applied to the fort. I think there are more secession troops in this region than you are aware of, as there are regiments in various localities not noticed in the letters of war Correspondents from Western Virginia. Postal sommunication with Cumberland has been reopened, and our mails are now quite regular. Of the Border Guard, (secession,) numbering over a hundred, raised in Martinsburg some time since, all but eleven have been killed, and several of those are now ina critical condition from wounds. ‘The disunion element bas been completely rooted out of this section, and we now begin again to enjoy the PEE TAC Oe UE enum: sUaeE Ur stewree” AFPAIRS UP RIVER {Special correspondence of The Star ] Gexat Fatxs, July 7 —Editor Star: The alarm which brougnt out the troops last night here, was occasioned bya picket of ours being fired at while on guard near the lock-house of the canal, by some skulking secessionist concealed on the Opposite side of the canal. The ball penetrated the fleshy part of the picket’s leg, butit is thought the wound will not result fatally. The sentry returned the fire, and his skulking assailant ran off. The troops turned outin a moment, on hear- ing the firing, and scoured the nely bborhood, but in the darkness the villain mapaged to make good hisescape. The enemy is in some force (perhaps three or four handred strong) in the woods oppo- site this place, and they are continually plotting how to annoy our men. I do not think they will risk the attempt to cross the Potomac in force at any point near here, asthe fords are not favorable for such movement. A brother of Jackson, the murderer of Ells- worth, who resides in this vicinity, and whose movements have been of a suspicious character, was arrested a short time ago, but was permitted to slide by the officers in charge, after the slight- est possible detension and examination. AFFAIRS IN FAIRFAX COUNTY. [Special correspondence of The Star } Farnvax County, Va., August 6, 1861.—To the Evening Siar: Ae a resident in the immediate neighborhood of the Episcopal Theological Sem- inary, near Alexandria, I feel it to bea duty, as it isa pleasure, to bear honorable testimony to the excellent order and discipline of the New York Twelfth Regiment, Col J. McLeod Murphy, which has been for some ti: encamped in the seminary grounds. All the Mighbors are loud in their praise, and award much credit to the ofticers for bringing about this state of things. If you were to visit the houses and farms in the vicinity, and mark the devastation committed by other regiments, heretofore as well as now encamped thereabouts, upon houses, fences, &c., you would appreciate our feelings in this matter. Those regiments whose ofticera stay with them might, I suspect, be very easily distinguished from others whose officers may be mostly found about hotels. Fatrrax.
