nator Wilson, Chairman of the Military Committee, believes we have not to exceed 520,000. Where are the other 100,000 or 200,000. It was suggested in the House the other day that fraudulent pay-rolls have been forwarded to the Department. Here is a good subject for an Investigating Committee. We believe in Senator Wilson's figures, and they seem to be based upon an estimate like this; Gen. McClellan's column125,000 Gen. Halleck's column135,000 Gen. McDowell's column25,000 Gen.

Our losses in the engagements are upwards of five hundred, but the Federal loss is known to be more severe Fremont, who is blockading the roads in his retreat, is closely pressed by Ewell, and can hardly escape without the loss of many of his men. If Jackson had an adequate force, or even one equal to that of the enemy, the whole of these two invading armies would be destroyed as effectually as Banks's army was two weeks ago. The successes of glorious "Stonewall" in the Valley cannot fail to raise a high old panic among the functionaries of Washington, and divert, in a measure, the plans of McClellan opposite Richmond. The result of these splendid victories is to evident to need comment; and it is therefore unnecessary to urge that immediate reinforcements be sent to Jackson, that he may be able to follow up the advantages already gained.--These operations in the valley are as sure

It was an artful tidents perfectly harmless, and I hope not uninteresting. At New Market, I heard much of the foppery and cowardice of Banks, and, of the contempt or his troops for him. At Kernstown as well as in his late retreat, unlike Jackson he kept for away from the flashing of the guns.

The Northwestern troops frankly declared not only that Banks was a coward, but that this was true of the New England soldiers generally, for whom they professed a profound contempt. They said, "If we only had a Jackson or Ashby to fight under" While in the Valley the Yanke
