Raving pr§vided myself with the n y pass from Secretary at War, aud an introductory leiter to Gene: ver to Manassas Junction, about 130 miles from Richmond, to the’intrenched epeanpmicnt, and observe the condition of the troops focated here. General Beauregard received me very sourtcously, invited me to his mess while T remained, aud Afforded me every needful facility for visiting the various camps scattered ar ished soldier was “raised”? in tho St aua,is of Creole parents, And not more than forty-three years of age. He gradwated at West Point Military School, where his studious habits and professional acquirements obtained for him the high- tet honors. Upon the expiration of his collegiate course he fas appointed to the Enginecr Corps of tho United States Army. Subsequently Indeed, it was at his su; yet buta lieutenant, that General Scott successtully attacked the eity of M by the Bolau or Western Gate. This simple cireumatance only shows what a high opinion was cutertained of the young soldier by his superior officers, even at. the com- Mencemcat of his military career. He was at length ele vated to the rank of mijor, and not very long since be game tho Superintendent of the United States Military Academy. From this honorable position, however, his ner: for the South caused him to retire just before commencement of the preseat unhappy hostilities when President Davis raised him to the rank of Brigadier General in the Confederate States Army. It is superfluous Yor me to teil you that he was engaged in the attack on Fort Sumter. “General Beauregard is about the middle beight, thin, but myscular. His features are somewhat aharp,” his ‘for fold” Sntaliactisal, ite eyes bright and piercing, and his aspect grave. He is remarkable for cir- Sumspect retigence, so that no one can worm mor formation out of him than he deems it prudent to convey. Although remarkably soldier-like and somewhat austere, there is a blanduess and even suavity of manner about bim which quickly wins upon one. SHE MISS TABLE AND LODGINGS OF Tif CONFEDERATE CIETS. The hitherto quict country around Manassas Junction tas indeed undergone a remarkable transformation, With the exception of a hotel on an exceedingly limited scale, there are but two or thiee dwelling houses here, which tre now occupied by the, military authorities. In one of these, situated about a quarter of a mile from the railway depot, General Beav and his staff have vaken up their headquarters. her a small, unpre fending buildizg, not unlike an English cottage, In sequence of the basement rooms being turned into offices, the house affords no accommodation for refectory pur? poses; so a long table of plain wood has been erected tne side of the dwelling, where the General and his offi- gers take their usual meals. This table, when laid out with metal plates, tin cans and similar camp parapherna- Ha—divested, too, of the luxury of a whitedinen cloth— bas certainly a very primitive appearance, and does not verve to stimulate the appowte. Nevertheless, the crea- tare comforts ure of a substantial, although not of a luxu- hous kind. DISPOSITION OF THR REREL YORCES—HOW THE COMMAND AT MANASSES 18 DIVIDED, AND DEFENCKS OF THE GROUND. Twas somnewhiit disappointed to learn that General Bon- bam had left here the day previous in command of alarge force, to take up an advanced position before Alexandria, owever, some few thousand troops still remain, and their sents may be seen stretching out in all directions wherever the eye can penetrate, giving to the locality a very pic- waresque warlike appearance. One portion of the ground fe appropriated to horses, wagons and ambulances, while f@ close proximity tothe station all kinds of army stores are piled in every conceivable manner, awaiting further twansit. Manassas Gap may be vegarded as the key to the Upper Potomac. Gencral Beanregard’s command extends to the tight of this line, while General Johnston occupies the left. The former has advanced posts at Centreville and Fairfax, under Bonham, whose pickets are within fve or six miles of the federalists; so that skir- tmishes between the scouts of either party are of fre- quent occurrence. General Beauregard’s forces occupy two triangular positions within a wide range of territory, Bach position is judiciously selected and well protected by extensive redoubis, deep intrenchments, and guns of deavy calibro, although I have not scen’ any of those asked batteries for which the Northern army seem to satertain so marked an apprehension, The defences at Manassas Junction are of a particularly ‘ormidablo character, as this place is meant to fall back apon in the event of a defeat or retreat, should the for- tunes of war so determine, To the right of Camp Pickens, ‘athe direction of the Potomac, the Confederate troops Mretch out as faras the Occoquan, and in the direction af Leesburg to the left. Even Arlington Heights are protected on all sides, while advanced purties continue jo annoy the enemy along the Loudon and Hampshire Railroad, from Leesburg to their camp at Hillsboro’. {HE SUPPLY OF WATER—THE HOSPITALS AND THEIR INMATES, ‘There is no scarcity of provisions, but water, so essen- al to the comfort and even the health of an army, is doth scarce and bad. This inconvenience was, am ‘in- ‘ormed, severely felt when some eight or ten’ thousand additional troops were encamped here. Artesian wells, aowever, are being sunk, and it is hoped that a larger and gurer supply may by this means be obtained. Sickness, sepecially measles, prevails among the men to some extent; and some deaths have taken place since my wrival. There are three temporary hospitals erected in she encampment, which are distinguished by a yellow Sag floating in front, but the majority of the sick are re- moved to Culpepper Court House, a small village perhaps ‘orty miles nearer Richmoud, where there is a com- modious hospital and an efficient medical and surgical gaff. About 200 sick soldiers are in this establishment. THE WASUINGTON ARTILLERY OF NEW ORLEANS IN CAMP. About three miles from Manassas Junction is a very picturesque spot called Mitchell’s Ford, where the Wash- ngton artiliery of Now Orleans are at present encamped. fhe locale is open, elevated, and salubrious, bordered by fense woods, so that the tops of the stately trees can be vbserved in the distance, forming, as it were, a magic cir- ie around the camp. Contiguous’ is a broad’ stream like &emall river, called the Bull run, which is several miles extent, and affords an abundance of good wholesome water. Being one of the crack corps in the field, the Washing- ton artillery deserves a more than passing notice. ‘As early as 1839 this volunteer body became formally Reorporatea; but since 1850, when its present. command- ar, Major Walton, icentitied himself with it, the corps hag grown in numbers and reputation, so as to become the just pride of Louisiana, and a powerful addition to the Confé To the efforis of this body is attri- gutable the establishment of the Louisiana Poly echnic Academy, from which military _ school dave sprung general and field officers now in th wmy of the Potomac.

SPECULATION IN EXPECTATION OF A GREAT FIGHT, A genoral engagement along the tine of the Potomac has been fully expected for some time past, but although both armice are within afew miles of exch other, no move- ment of any importance has taken place. Various rumors ‘are afloat as to the motives that actuate General Scott in Abus avoiding a battic. Some are cf opinion that the re. spalecs his troops received at Aquia Creek, Xorktown and nee ee ee tee Re on the Norfolk side of the channel, have dispirited the ar” my under his command, witie others imuyine that the re- cent evacuation of Hat erry by forces has disconcerted his plan of attack, and Darrassed his movements as to cause him to change his mode of action.

OnThursduy the already extensive—ind noble as it is extensive—floct of steamsliijs belonging to Liverpool, received an addition of no ordinary importance, by the ar” rival of the magnificent screw steamship City of New York, from the Clyde.

Reply of the Inspectors to the Report of the Select Committec—The Responsibi- lity Placed on the Military Board—The Contract, &. The Military Board seems determined to carn an un. ble fame in connection with this matter, It first es a Asgraceful contract, and then attempts to fasten upon others the responsibility of its own acts, The re- port of its select committee, Intely published, is a labored. and most disingenuous effort to exculpate the Board, and to prove that Brooks Brothers and the Inspectors are the guilty parties, The effort will not succeed. The material facts are too easily established, and point too clearly to the culpability of the Board, to be perverted or even obscured by any amount of special pleading or mis. statement. ‘The undersigned have already published a card in vin- dication of their official conduct as inspectors of the cloth. ing furnished under this contract. In that card they made no charges against others but confined themselyes toa simple statement of the facts connected with own duty, and the manner in which it was performed. Conscious of the entire truthfulness of their statements they could not anticipate that any one, and least’ of all the Military Board, would yentnre to challenge its cor- rectness by renewing agaiust them the charge ef un faithfulness, In this they were mistaken. The Board has less fairness and Jess prudence than they gave it credit for. In the report of its select committes the char~ ge6 are distinctly made that the contract was not faith fully executed, and that the inspectors were eulpably re- miss in the performance of their duty. ‘These charges, thus renewed in an official document, cannnot pars unchallenget. The inspectors know them to be groundlegs, and they owe it to themselves to place before the public the evidence of that fact. If this ovi- dence shal! prove injurious to the reputation of the Board, it must charge its publication to the unfairness and in discretion of its select. committer. The inspectors pre- sent it in self-defence, and as duc to the public. A copy of the contract with Brooks Brothers is here- with submitted; also certificates from their foreman, and from highiy respectable commission houses who furnished them the goods complained of. These decuments alone completely exculpate the inspectors frem the charges of the select committee. They prove beyond cavil that the ‘ for various styles and qualities of goods, of $19 50 per uniform; that the contrpctors: furnished the identical goods they agreed to, und that the uniforms were well made, and the workmen liberally paid therefor, In a word, they prove that the contra was faithfully executed and’ the goods properly inspecte Here the matter might be safely left to the Judgmer of an intelligent community. But the inspectors feel called upen to probe the subject deeper. There 1s a general and well grounded conviction that some wrong has been committed on the patriotic volunteers in connection with this contract, and it is proper the public should know through Whose instrumentality it has been done, The following facts, known to the Select Committee, but not frankly and fairly stated in their re- port, will, it is believed, furnish the needed information: — On the 334 day of April the Military Board published a notice iuviting bids for 12,000 uniforms. Without wait- ing for the competition that such notices are intended to elicit, the Board on the sume or following day accepted the bid of Mr. Robert Freeman, made in Vehalf of Brocks Bros. for the whole number of uniforms, at $19 50 each, to be made of all wool kersey, of the style und quality used in clothing the United States Army. Brooks Bros., upon being informed of the acceptance of thie bid, proceeded to purchase all the army kergeys then ‘on the market, and, finding the quantity largely deficient, at once apprised the Board of the fact. The’ Board re: sponded by appointing one of its members, Mr. Dorshei- mer, acommittee to confer with them on the subject. The conference took place, Mr Dorsheimer being aided by the Inspector Gencral, and, to some extent, by Mr. Thur- low Weed. Itresulted in the selection and’ adoption of eight different styles of goods, as follows, viz: Like sample No. 1, 2,600 dark blue kersey jackets. Like sample No, 8, 2,100 dark blue felt Jackets. Like sample No. 3, 7,00 cadet mixed satinet jackets, Like sample No. 1, 2,400 dark blue kersey trowsers. Like sample No. 7, 2,440 light blue kersey trowsers. .ike sample No. 3, 7,200 ca:let mixed satinet trowse Like sample No. 4, 4,000 brown mixed overcoats. Like sample No. 5, 1,600 blue petresham overcoats, Like sample No. 2, 2,000 mixed kersey overcoats. Like sample No. 6, 4,000 cadet mixed doeskin overcoats. These goods, thus substituted for the all-wool army cloth, on whieh the bid of $19 £0 per euit was predica- ted, Mr. Dorsheimer entered into a written contract for. without asking any abatement of price; and the Board approved hisaction, although its mefnbers might have learned from any dry goods clerks that the material thus contracted for had little more than half the market value of that on which the bid was made. Styles Nos. 3 and 4, of which there Were 18,600 garments, cost less than half the price of army Kersey. Soany one acquainted with dry goods could have told them that ‘felt cloths’ were unfit for army clothing. Thescarcity of military goodeat the time this contract was made may afford some excuse for the adoption of these inferior qualities; but it cannot be offered in justification of the Board's agreement to pay for them the price asked for the best.
