The too prevalent disposition to gloss Second ermont Regiment played in the battle of Bull's Run. The Brigade, Col. Howard's, did not participate in the battle till the afternoon when it was ordered up tc cover the retreat. Their march was circuitous and some ten miles long.

The fortifications that surrounded Winches -ter, except to the southward upon the high grounds, were very heavy earthworks, made with bags and barrels filled with earth. In front of the earthworks deep trenches were dug, communicating with the inside of the works.

The guns were all masked by artificial thickets of evergreens, which were in- tended in some cases to be used as an ambuscade for rifleman and sharpshooters. Among the regiments was one of Kentucky rifleman, who were also armed with heavy bowie knives. They refused to take more than one round of cartridges, and proposed to place themselves in the bushes for an assault. The report in Northern and Eastern newspapers that eighteen regiments of this column refused to march under Gen. Patterson, is wholly untrue.

The House passed the Senate's joint resolution providing for a representative of the United States to the World's Fair in London, in 1862. The Caledonian for the past two weeks has devoted considerable space to replies to certain strictures which we (the sub) saw fit to make respecting the course pursued by the Governor in matters pertaining to the raising and fitting out of the regiments which have been sent out from this State. Owned as the Caledonian is, by a son-in-law of Governor, and edited (and ably edited too,) all a-long the avenue to his Excellency's residence, it was to be expected that this fact, as well as the fact of its local position, would induce it to open its batteries against any attack that should be made upon the course pursued by the Governor. We were not at all surprised, therefore, to find its Long Tom" opened upon usin response to criticisms which we at tke time considered just, and which we till think the facts would, in the main, bear as oat in making. But having received a gentle hint that our views are, not exactly; in consonance with those of the editor, whose place we chance temporarily to occupy, we propose voluntarily to spike the gun which has been committed to four charge, and leave the matter toother and abler-hands; being assured that in dot time facts will be publish showiej who is and whi not responsible for th manner' in 'wtV ur, 'olunteet regiment; kavt brr? organiawL i'-j We ere number 0 those WBo be ance on the meetings was very good, and the i will be seen in front standing like iron statues at the bridles of their horses if he scours along in advance of the train the clanking of their long sabres is heard beside mm stop where he willJ there may be always seen a exercises oi general interest.
