The publication of the paper from Mejor General John Pope’s pen, purporting to be the < ffici«l re- port of the operations of the army lately under bis command, (from Cedar Mountain back to Weshington,) by the New York Times yesterday, is so singularly ill-timed as that the Government ‘will be likely to make an example of the journal thus working mischief. We know that no suf- ficient authority was given to make the publics- tirn, and that the act isseverely deprecated here. The paper itself ts not what it purports to be; but, simply, Gen. Pope’s budget ¢f excuses and eccusations, under cover of which he seeks to change public and Government opinion with re- ference to bis management of his late trust. He ‘Wrote it before receiving a single report from Ats subord mates, which fact of itself takes from it the craracter of am efficial military report, and stamps it with that of a mere special plea in his own behalf, at the expense of bis cflicers and ermy. It reached the Government here on the very day the rebels commenced crossing the Potomac; and thus fcund them too intensely busy with the threatening enemy in front, to dispose, at that time, of quarrels among Generals, the services of most of whom were for the time being abso- lutely indispensible at the hend of their respec- tive corps. Gen. P.’s accusations ‘were, how- ever, deemed of sufficient importance to require the court of tnquiry pon them now in session here, by the result of whose investigations the eccused officers will stand or fall. As 2 eample of the accusations which General Pope takes occasion to make, we may not inap. Propriately say that his charge that General McClellan wrote him In effect that he would not forward the provisions and munitions he (Pope) stood in such pressing need of, until P. had sent to Alexandria a cavalry escort for them, has been emphatically denied in the Journal of Com- merce by Gen. McClellan’s authority. On th® contrary, Gen McC. wro-e him that he would instantly comply with his requisition; sending the things from Alexandria with an infantry escort, and urging him to have a Proper cavalry escort meet them by the way. F| We trust, as we believe, that Gen. Pope’s ac cusations against the other generals will turn cut ae baseless as that against McClellan. We may safely add that while Gen. Pope at- tributes sll the misfortunes of bis campaign to subordinate generals, not a single general who had a command under him fails to attribute them all, in the main, to his utter incompetency for the trust lately in bis hands. While we sincerely regret feeling called cn to make these comments upon this special plea of Gen. Pope, a sense of justice to the army, and to the cause in which it fights, renders it necessary that we should thus endeavor, es briefly as possi- Ps, to bcomasieci the mischief }ikely to flow from Unauthorized and untimely pu - ferred to above. eee P. 5.—We find this same “report”? of Gen- Pope published in the New York Herald of yes- torday in the shape of a war letter of one of its regular Weshington correspondents!

We have some later Intelligence this morning from the Kebel iines, which indicate that what- ever may have bern the purposes and intentions of the Rebel cbiefs In crossing the Potomac and seizing Frederick that they are now olcsely hupytng the Potema>, and with the exception of cavalry demonstrations and picket guards, their whole army is massed between Fredetick and the river. General McClellan here confronts them witha large army, bis line extending frem t~e Potomec to a point considerably north of the Baltimore road, and protecting even Westminster and other portions of Carroll county from the gayalry raids of the enemy. He has so thoroug bby enéom passed them that they must either crees the river again, or meet Lim ina deadly confilct on the banks of the Potomac. The great body of the enemy was massed neat New Market, on the Beltimore road, and at Ur- bana, oo the bd Sapa road—the latter unde: General Lee, and the former under Gen. Jacksop. Yuls was their position on Monday, but Jackson has since advanced on Hagerstown, and occupied it yesterday. To have accomplished ge J either in the direction of Baltimore or Washington, this movement of the enemy must necessarily have been a rapid one. The five days that have elapsed since they entered Frederick, and the retiring of their Iineseight or ten m‘les from Weshington, within that time, may be regarded as an abandonment of such a purpose. They are now evideutly endeavoring to draw General Mc- Clellan as far as possible from Wasbington in pursuit of them, s9 as to cross in readiness on the otuer side, between him and Washington, and thus get in hisrear. The plan of the Rebels was doubtless framed with the expectation that Gen. Pope would be in command, but of course Gen. McCtellan cannot be caught in any ach trap. Capt. A. D. “SUPPLIES TO GEN. Porg.’?—Tke rubjoined stat ment, made by the Journal of Commerce, in correction of an allegation recently put into cur- rency against Gen. McClelian, corresponds with information recently in our possession: “We bave received numerous inquiries on the subject of the accusation that Gen. McClellan re- fused to forward supplies to Pope, and the recent appointment of the General to tae high com- mand be now holds seems not to have been suffi- cient to stop the circulation of ths mis-statement. We have the best authority for declaring the whole allegation untrue. Gen. NeClellan had forwarded ull his cavalry to Gen. Pope, even to his own body guard, and sent forward the sup- puss with an infantry escort, askirg and expect- ing a cavalry escort to meetthem. The whole foundation of the story was inske fact that he sent forward the request for this cavalry, al- though the supplies were actually in motion.”-— Intetlig.ncer. ("The foliowing resolution was Sgopied unanimously by the General Assexbly en tucky on Friday!last: Kesolved, That Kentucky bails with delight the restoration of Gen. Geo. B.

Everytoing tnat it Consum:s Will have to be transported there from great diatances, for it Is now lite:allry an army in the desert.

Tae drums ana tramplings of three conquests have not produced elsewhere the ravages and waste whicb the struggles of the Southern and the Nerthern hosts have caused in Piedmont, Virginia, during the psst and present summers. It will take one hundred fuil years to restore that country to the condition tm which the war found it Deserted as it is by the majority of its inhabitants, it 1s not easily perceived how the scattered remainder of its population hope to escape starvation during the coming winter; and toe maintainance of an army of one hundred and fifty thousand men there, dependent on a single track raliroad, when the telater has rendered the other highways impassable, will bean ex- periment not less dangerous than costly. Even if the difficulty could be overcome, it is evident that our army cannot wait its time in protracted operations for the possession of a fron- ter city, ualess it desires to lose the only oppor- tunity to make a real approach to the end of the war that we have had since the beginning of It Buch 2 delay would be all that the enemy cou'd now desire; for it would give him just the time ry to organize and bring up his new army hundred thousand men; and while Wash- ington should be neither clearly lest or won, but a@ prize still at stake between the two countries, the difficulties of raising that new army would be greatiy alleviated.
