to Richmond, led on by General Greeley, and to which the President yielded. In vindication of Gen. Scott, Raymond, of the Times, gives the substance of a conversation at the General's table, in presence of his Aids and a "single guest," (the "little villain" himself, we suppose.) This conversation, he says, took place on Tuesday, before the battle at Stone Bridge. Taken in connection with the impassioned remark of the aged Fuss and Feathers Chieftain before the President, as reported by Richardson, of Illinois, it would appear that he was overruled in the march to Manassas; but on pretty good authority it is stated that he declared, on the forenoon of the 21st, the most perfect conviction that the Federalists would be victorious in the battle then raging. The Times says: If the matter had been left to him, (General Scott,) he said, he would have commenced by a perfect blockade of every Southern port on the Atlantic and the Gulf. Then he would have collected a large force at

t of the retreat, and brought off the batteries that more experienced troops left behind. It is certainly a creditable proof of courage for one thousand men to march back to a battle field which forty thousand are flying from. If Pennsylvanians do not boast of this in the inflated pathos of the New York journals, it is because they are more accustomed to deeds than to words, and are content when their duty is well discharged. [from the New York Herald, 26th.] The disclosures of Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, in the debate in Congress on Wednesday, on this disastrous affair at Bull Run, relieve General Scott of the responsibility, and clearly fix it upon the shoulders of the President. General Scott does not say so, but the inference is clear that his better judgment was overruled by the wishes of Mr. Lincoln. But how was Mr. Lincoln inveigled into those masked batteries? By this insane war cry of our anti-slavery Jacobin club, of "Onward to Richmond;" by the incessant pressu
