Mr. Punch, who has his laugh at everything laughable, and sometimes things not at all so, touches off, in a vein of very amusing satire, the tendency of our war journals and war correspondents to exaggerate the results of the different battles in which the contending parties if) the present war, on this continent, are engaged. He says that "with reverent ok servance be has taken week by week a note of those battles, and with the most confiding and implicit faith in the accuracy of the press, affixed to each name the number of the soldiers who fell in each encounter. In order to explain his eulty. lie must reproduce the roll with the numbers signifying the losses." The aggregate of these notes the satirist makes out to be about a million and a quarter killed, and over three millions and a half wounded.

Of coarse, there is in all these a dnsh of the very exaggeration which Punch would ridicule. Yet there is room for the implied censnre of litis tendency to overstate the results of battles and skirmishes, which we have before bad occasion to comment upon, since this war commenced. How often have we win, among the first telegraphic reports ot a fight, which have been dispatched hastily and without due ascertainment of the exact truth, such bulletins as tlese Glorious defeat Gtn. the capture of his force!" "All the ammunition, military stores ard camp equipage taker. Enemy's loss, forty thousand our loss, iulillcdand wounded, very slight and Sv forth and fj on.

And when the official -ports, based upon the actual returns of the company, regimental and brigade tCi-eeis come to be r.a-ie, and to be vouched fcr by the signature of the commanding general, how do these, first ill-cciisiJc-rd bulletins dwindle and lessen in amount! But it was ever so. Take up r.ny history we may and compare it with any other professing to give an accurate account of precisely the same events, and we im ariably find discrepancies which leave us in doubt whether of tho two historians is the better authority. And in nothing is this sort of vriauce than in the accounts which are given by two narrators of the incidents of great bat ties, and especially of the casualties attending them. For a familiar example, compare Walter Scott's with any Frenchman's life of the great Napoleon; and ttbile wondering at the differences which appear in almost every chapter between the two, look back to the files of the newspaper press of the time when the events the historians assume and you shall find that the tjHane discrepancies are there recorded, and from these, and from a national prejudice which gives them color and stamps ihtm with sanction, originates the perversion lor both cauuot bo correct. It makes all the difiercm even with grave historians, whether it is dc ie or Jr me JaLvla The recder of Dr.

Motley's very faithful and conscientiously written histories of the Rise of the Dutch Republic, aui of the Netherlands, cannot fail to be struck with the wonderful discrepancies which, ia Lis minu-e tnd voluminous notes, he shows to exist between tha historians upon whose works he has so liberally drawn, as to tbe losses sustained by the opposing parties in that long and bloody series of battles which resulted ia the establishment of the Reformation. Hardly auy two, we might assert no two, of tho narrators of the events of the same engagements agree as to the result in killed, wounded and prisoners and in very many cases the difference is immense. And yet all these were alike writing history, and were teachers by profession, of posterity, through example. Flow the Negroes shall bs Employed. Important Correspondence.

On the 2d hist. -Vaj. Gen. Butler, we see it stated in the Northern press, enclosed to the U. S.

Secretary of War, Mr. Station, copies of a correspondetice between himself and Brig. Gen. Phelps, ia relation tjo the employment of negroes. The N.

Y. Journal of Commerce condenses this correspondence as follows Gen. Butler raj A Gen. Pbelps, witbont orders acd without my knowledge, br.a organized rive companies, ot negroes, and tbe first official information I had ol hia doings in that bebalf was a requisition for arms and equipments for tbern. It becomes necessary, in my judgment, to employ them differently, and I tbougbi bv tbie.

means 1 could find-employmeet for all, and not raise the question offensively between Gn. Pbelps and myself until it was settled at and, therefore, sent tbe order to employ toe negroes, without sending an an-ewer to his requisition.
