Tue Intelligencer argues that the people, by dissensions among themselves as to the policy of the war, &c., ‘*have themselves to bleme for tte deticlencies which they charge solely on tke Gov- ernment; but the Administration surely will net be witbout fault if, after the experiente it has had, it does not rise superior to the influences ‘which have weakened its resolutions and ham- pered its energies. If there be infirmity or inde- cision in council, there will be delay and inef- ficiency in the field. The latter will speedily disappear with the correction of the former.” The Mepwhiican publishes what purports to be Gen. Pope's offcial report of the late retreat from Culpeper Court-House and of the battles In Vir- ginia, and says of it: « [t iecertainly a succinct, well-considered and admirably drawn doenment.

The officers of the Rhode Island, which bas just arrived from the S uth, confirm the general truth of this statement.

Franklin drove tte Rebels out of Sugar Loaf Mountain, (in Frederick c ty, Md.) a point ef much military Import- | ance, asccemmanding a view of a large scope of | sontry In all directions. Some resistance was | made by the Rebels posted there, which was | cvereome ina few moments, with a loss of not more than balf a dozen Federal killed and weund- ed. We do not know the Rebel loss in the affair. It was eecertained here lastnight that in the course of yeeterday the Rebels were in force at Hoonsboro’, som? fourteen miles west of F red- erick From circumstances within our knowledge, we incline to the belief that they have already withdrawn most of their Infantry from the im- mediate vicinity of Frederick city towards Boonsboro’, and back to the Immediate nelghbor- keod ef the fords in theirrear. We shell, theze- fore, not be surprised to learn to-morrow that Frederick {s again in the possession of the Federal forces. Large bedles of Union trcops continue to push forward to the front, among them many of the finest troops in the service. Thus in the last twenty-four hours we heve seen on the avenue the remarkably fine and full brigede of Max Weber, long attached to Gen. Mansfield’s com- mand in the vicinity of Norfolk. Its discipline, drill, spirit and general appearence were the ad- miration of all beholders as it marched by, and reflect infinite credit on both Gen. M. and Gen. W. We mey also mention the fine army corps cf Fitz John Porter, which, if not long since dis- organized, es Gen. Pope alleged, has been re- scored to its former well-known condition as though by magic. However, the Untfon army of to-day is four-fold as efficient as on the day when Gen McClellan last tcok command of it. We doubt not that its numbers actually doing duty have been doubled in thet time, while the magical restoration of the tone and condition of the men makes it by far the most formidibale army ever assembled under the flag of the United States. Forty-one prisoners of war reached here at nine o'clock lust night, taken probably in the affair of Sugar Loaf Mountain, ae GENERAL McDOWELL. Elsewhere in to-day’s Star the reader will find the very proper letter from Gen. McDowell call- made some days since, (the correctness of which we have carefully verified subsequently) that every general officer serving under Pope in the letter’s late brief campaign, unite in emphati- cally repudiating all aspersions on Gen. McDow- eil’s loyalty, courage, or efficiency during the campaign. ee ee THE TEASER. The captured Confederate steamer Teaser yes- terday took a trip to Alexandria, with Commo- dre Herweod on board.

Wasuinston, Sept. 6, 1262. His Excellency, the President: 1 have been informed by a Senator that he has seen a note, in pencil, written by a Colonel of cavalry, mortally wounded in the recent battles, stating, among other causes, that he was dying tim ‘to McDowell's treachery,” and that ust request wus that this last note might be wh to you.
