It would Hfora bat be is ;,ow attotupting to operate pon public opinion iu ton country. . Tin; i:l mil's IVrrv I'inht. the following BUDiuinry of iloiiiictionS drawn by tho World's correspondent, who visited the ground at Edward's Ferry, evidently comprises a full and accurate exhibit of the case: It is evident that ho Innre rcdoiinoissahce was intended by lliose in charge of the movement, hut lhal a large force was to be thrown over Ibe ritel-. Ieellburg til Id be fleited, a Junction fol-ilied with MoCall and Hniilh on the south, and thus the right Wihg of our army placed in line ttith tho central division opposite WeMiingioh, as oflen predicted heretofore. The proof ol lliuso aie: 1st, the conoerted double advance at Edward's aud (Jourad's Ferries ; 2nd, ibe order lo "mako a dash at Leesburg," sent lo (leu. Baker: 3d, orders issued I but Geu. McCall should hold his division under arms to cut oO the retreat of the rebels. . j 1 It is evident i hat no responsibility atlncbos lo UcuTal Jlttu's. Kren 'ho southernmost ferry does not conro within his jurisdiction, and the movement was subjected lo Ueneral Stone's direct orders. Tho astounding error which caused ils failure wero the total lack of preparation for such tin arduous and tiuporluul urcasuro as throwing a douMe division across a broad and ranid liver into hostile territory, aud nl ibe crisis of a year's campaign. It is almost iniptssiblo to believe Ibut only tbroo or four' IreaaJinA-auj tM scows were ail the boats used fur ibis attempt. It is alleged that a peremptory and unanticipated utder was Bent to Ueneral Stune, re quiring him lo mote with such purpose on Mon day. I f this were 8", a higher officer lhan Stone has received a lesson; but surely the recipient of such an order, if possessed of truo military ability, could have made something on the score of canal boats lying at band a bridge or rope ferry at least, for the latter requisitions were made on Washington for cable and rings a fortnight before the movetueut; but the articles were never supplied. Ihis whole transporta tion business is so incomprehensible, yet eo plainly the great cause of our disaster, that the whole army is both bewildered and indignant,Twenty-lire thousand men, with oatalry and batteries, should have orossed the river in a day. Our undisputed occupancy of (be Ed ward s ferry landing shows that such a transit could bate been accomplished at that point either by a pontoon bridge or a sufficient num ber or boats. J0 force which (be enemy could spare from below would have imperiled the col umn in position fairly gained. An apparent intention that the army Bhould walk or swim aorots tho river caused both the repulse and the destruction at Bull's Bluff, and the enforced retreat at Edward's ferry. But even with adequato ferriage the poiut selected for the upper transit was dangerous iu the extreme. If Col. Devin e command had been thrown over at Conrad's, instead of marching down the towpath to the island crossing, where a portion of it bad been so long on guard, it would at least hate landed in an open country, and hate found no huge precipitous bluff to impede the progress of both artillery and men. (Jen. Baker had nolbing to do with the selection of the point at which he was to croes. He was not placed in command till Monday morning. He found that huudreds of Massachusetts troops had preceded his battalion. He found a battle waiting for him, brought on by other bands, defeat insured in advance, and the oue duty of selling bis commaud dearlyl Ob, how dearly! Let not a shadow of censure pass by those who have incurred it to darken tho slumbers of that "good gray head which all men loved and knew." "The Wic Men of the East."' . The Missouri Democrat presents the Edward's Ferry affair thus: -' Deplorable as is the reverse, we believe it will eoou be abundantly compensated for by dcoisive Nuccess. If we were disposed to harsh cehsure, tho a Hair would furnish abundant material. Our only objecl is lo cn'tl to it the attention of tbose wise men of the i-'tis rho have latterly been giving so much cf Ihrnr time and labors to the alleged mismanagomenl in the West. Where are Springfield aud LexingKa now? Are they not, as disasters, completely eclipsed by tho hli,ii.i.trino evftriminn nnrna the Potomac? Was .,,,,; i,uir . rni;.l. e.,r .!.,. in rl.o Wo.. tern Department.' Nothing in an us annals hegius to equal this tt-aupe, Ibis ruurdei Otis movement. Was it not known that the enemy could easily send heavy reinforcements lo the threatened point? Was it not certain that to oooupy thirteen hours in transporting scarcely two regiments across the stream would furnish both I ho fullest notice and the amplest opportunity to the enemy to gather in a far superior force? How strange that neither were reinforcements opportunely sent to our men, nor means furnished them for recrossing the riter in the imminent contingently ,of a repulse! 1'his upon the rotouiao, with our army of some threo hundred thousand men within a few miles, and wilh the best resources tho nation could furnish latished in that especially favored region. In the extensivo department of the West, with its far Stretching linos ami esmnts nnilt In lia rlnfriiled with an im. mensely inferior' force, stinted in munitions, so l transportations, not one euun instance ot misfortune to spare it the name or mismnn-sirement has vet occurred. It etrikes us that (be country would now bo incalculably better olF had the toil and paius expended in thwart- ing and defaming Fremont, in agitating plant for Iris supernrdur, in arraigning him before the Cabinet, and in petulantly interfering with his wise arrangement for defence, been d-voled to insuring tue saniy of our troops and tne sue. eeea of our arms. To have sent needed munitions lo the West would have been better than o hate seutoominiuees of censure here. As it now if, our smart men of the Eist have something near hoirie that calls louder for iovtitlga. ing eounoila and talk of "ooirt manias ' than anything in the management of the Westefo Drpai Unent. The country is doubtless gratified to learn that sinoe the affair at Edward s Ferry pontovni bate been furnished in ebundarce for an j similar occasion. Fremont has a habit of procuring bis pontoons, vc , beforehand, and would judge a thousand lives too high a price for the kuppy suggeslioa of this kind beforehand that appears to have given so much trouble. We know not what explanation nay place the stoic excursion of the Potomao in a different light: we only insist that it is much more ' serious and far more open to severe animadversion than aught ibe keen-scented malice has yet delected in tne stinted and abused IVest, A Southern Vlett' of .Northern Mistake. The Washington National Republican has a oommunioaiion from a distinguished clergyman of an important interior town of Kentucky, who is now acnapiain in one or the national regi ments. The writer contradicts the prevalent statements respecting the extreme scarcety ot shoes, leather, clothing, provisions, &.C., at the South. ; lie then submits the following observations, whieh, whatever their literal correctness, are won by of the attentive Consideration of all loyal citizens at the North : "Slaven.H has been regarded, and Is gen erally regarded in this city and the North, as n element ot weakness iu this war. This is the greatedtof all the mistakes made. It is an element of sliength. it gives Ibe South a great advantage over the Norih. There is no danger from insurrection. The slaves out of the vicinity of the federal urmy, are working Det er man formerly, lb women are tho mana gers of ibem, and successful managers, better ban the uion, because more moral, being con- liiiuully Willi them, and tisinc kindness more and severity less. Ibe slates are moire healthy under their management. It is a well known act lhal the women-planters of (he couth hate always been the most euooessful. The slates are the sappers and miners of (he army. They are tho producers fur Iho army, no less essential for war lhan they who fight. Slavery ii th element of tttetvjth in tliii war. The enoncr this favt ie renlicod the better that the slaves are the producers, and (he t7li"L subs fosi-k can thus constitute their grand army, and (bat the v In de South u now under drill Friends of the Union, liberty and the Constitution, look these facts fully In the face. Reason npon them and do right. Slates must, is this war, be regard ed as property, 'iho property of all rebels must be confiscated. Let this edict go forth, and the doom of rebels is sealed.1 Protect allpropr-ti of Union men, especially the slate property of Union men of the South, flo abolition Uor, but a j list war; a war to maintain the Union, but a sensible war; a war noithor pro-slavery nor abolition, but an effective and conclusive war. . Let us look this whole mutter in the face, aud act before it is loo lale.' L'nion ftehny in the South and the JJorder Slave ,inlrit.r-lM us not mistake here, union men should make no mistakes. There is little, very little Uuloa feeling;, In the aristocracy of Iho South, or of the border slate ' Slates. Tho social feeling, especially among the yottng, is strong, tery strong, for secession aud the South. The aristocracy control, to a great extent, the middlo and lower classes. Iho Union action and feeling,- wbateter exist, are among the masses the small planters and farmers aud poorer classes, i'venltellyi the middle and lower classes will almost universally tih for the Union, and the higher classes, almost univer sally, for (lie South. I know this to be the fact in the border slnto Siatep, beyond what is now believed in Washington. This is an important faol, showing npon whom the Union is to rely, and who ought (o receive (ho eonfidenoe and sympathy olMbe government There is no use in blinding out eyes to the feet that nearlv all the old, wealthy and slaveholdiug families of the border States have gone, and are going, into secession. it is the masses who stand by Ibe government at this eriBis. . Individual Eatntetneis.'ih South has more of it there is more individual, personal exertion, saoritice and self-denial in the South than in the North. Nearly all are doing something direotly. Radicalism and novelties and rebel lion are always more active than Conservatism; and Northern men who enter into the rebellion in the South are more demonstrative and acfits than even Southerners themseltes. The women, old and young, are tery effective in their efforts; etery one is expected to help, with or without plan, or without the sanction of the government. ...... Not Key ond the Power ol I-ove. From the New Yoi k Tribune. ' " Mr. Gougb, in one of his recent leotures, pro ceeded to refute the idea that drunkards are so far brul's as to be beyond the power of Chris- lian love, saying: is o they are Cot brutes. . 1 have labored for eighteen years among them, aud I have never found a brute. I have had men to Bwear at me; I hate had a man todanoe around me as if possessed of a devil, and spit his foam in my face, but 1 never, found a man that I would give up. ' It may take a long time to reach his manhood, but he is not a brute.
