While his flags of truce are refused, and while he is unable to count his own dead or gather his own wounded, it is pitiable to hear him talk of the Confederate loss. Perhaps we might pardon him under the circumstances for stating in his dispatches to Washington that at one o'clock on the Fourth of July--the great day of Independence — the bands were playing, the national salute being fired, and things looking bright; but it is not pardonable in a General so utterly beaten and so nearly destroyed to re-assert in that same dispatch that ' our forces were not beaten in any conflict, nor could they be driven from the field by the utmost efforts of the enemy' Neither is it pardonable in a General addressing an army yet panting from a seventeen miles r
