ruth forever, and must be content with the advantages they can gain by putting out a first false impression. Somebody used to say that a lie had done its work if it could live for forty-eight hours. In this instance the falsehood has died a very gentle death. On the 2d of July, then, Gen. McClellan was telegraphed by the American Government to have stated that he had lost but one gun and one wagon, and even this admission was eased off by a false report put about that General "Stonewall" Jackson had been killed before Richmond. Just, however, to prepare the way for the future, it was admitted that the Federal army had retreated 17 miles. On the 5th of July the old story is still repeated, and it is re-asserted with obstinate persistency that "the Federal forces were not beaten in any conflict." It is, however, on this date admitted, as a fact which it was impossible any longer to conceal, that General McClellan's division was at first overwhelmed, and that twenty-five pieces of ar

bringing down our prisoners in freight cars that they were using all their passenger cars in moving troops to reinforce Jackson. It is more than possible that this was all merely a movement intended to disguise the fact that the rebels are nowthe evident pains taken to inform our prisoners and officers in charge that the movement of troops was to reinforce Stonewall Jackson. An amusing incident is told, in connection with Gen. McClellan's interview with the returned Union prisoners,it is said-- The notion of defensive warfare is not entertained; hence his soldiers already dream of the capture of Jackson and his force, instead of a retreat across the Potomac. It is probable that a battle will occur before the week is out, unless Jackson means simply to push a small force rapidly up the Shenandoah Valley to destroy the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, calculating upon an escape down past Moorefield and Franklin. Whether drafting will be resorted to as a means of pro

e Philadelphia Inquirer says he is credibly informed that large rebel forces are concentrating on the line of James river, above the junction of the Appomattox and the James, supposed to number between fifty and seventy thousand, and "Stonewall" Jackson in command. On the night of the 24th ult, a company of rebel cavalry dashed down on Gloucester Point, opposite Yorktown, and carried off a large lot of "contrabands," forced into the rebel army all the male inhabitants, and then set fire to. The road was considerably damaged. A large rebel force is reported near Tuscumbia-Forest is reported to be of Carthage, with the object of making a descent on the Louisville railroad. New York, --News from Fort Monroe, today, that Gen. Jackson was demonstrating down the left bank of the James, made some stir here, and nervous people were very uneasy, until a later telegram was received announcing the arrival of Porter's mortar fleet, intended for Fort Darling, (Drury's Bluff,) made

dy thieves that stole me only pair uv shirts!" Two negro men were then quietly sent for, and the hapless Yankees, having been stripped and tied, were subjected to an indefinite number of stripes, well laid on by the willing hands of the "contraband." "Now," said the gentleman, when he turned them loose, "go and tell your master, Lincoln, that two negroes have flogged you from your heads to your heels." In Washington city there is a vast deal of speculation about the movements of "Stonewall Jackson," and the constant departure of families, with bag and baggage, for localities further North, has given rise to the supposition in the minds of Baltimorean that they have a dread of an attack upon the Federal capital, though it may possibly be nothing more than the usual summer hegira. Dr. Day and his brother, who were arrested at Drainsville and imprisoned in Washington, have been set at liberty, in consequence of the release of some civilians at Richmond by the Confederate Governmen
