ow bristling with guns, which have beaten back the foe in every attempt he has made; the peninsula below us has become one vast entrenched camp; the important position of Manassas, which seemed at one time to invite attack, is now so strong that Scott hesitates long, as well he may, before he attempts an assault; the Navy-Yard at Norfolk, with its immense supply of arms, which might have been retaken by a half- dozen regiments, is now impregnable; the Valley is defended at one extreme by Gen. Johnston and an army of force which the enemy dare not come out of his entrenchments to fight; and our only weak point is Western Virginia, which is weak because of the treason within it. Occasional reverses have their uses also, if we will turn their lessons to account. They teach us the necessity of vigilance, of energy, of discipline. They impress upon us the importance of always valuing an enemy at his own estimate of himself, if you would be sure of doing all that you can do to defeat and

ng innumerable rallying points, and ample time for the muster in force of our troops and militia. The country is the wildest and most unexplored in Virginia. It is not possible that McClellan would attempt the march to Staunton. It is, on the contrary, to be presumed that having cleared his rear of danger, he will proceed to Grafton, and thence make good his way by railroad to Martinsburg, whence, in conjunction with Gen. Patterson, he would precipitate himself upon the command of Gen. Johnston. We have given the bad news from Laurel Hill just as it has reached this city. For ourselves, however, we take the liberty of doubting the correctness of it. A letter to General Lee from General Garnett, written Saturday morning, represents General Garnett to have been making good his retreat with all his stores and baggage in good order, without mention of the probability of an engagement. A gentleman also is in the city who left General Garnett late on Saturday safe and in good

I had a position ready for twelve guns near the main camp, and as the guns were moving up, ascertained that the enemy had retreated. I am now pushing on to Beverley with a part of Col. Rosencrantz's troops, and am now within three miles of it. Our success is complete, and almost bloodless. I doubt whether Wise and Johnston will unite and overpower me. The behavior of the troops in action and towards the prisoners has been admirable. G. B. McClellan, Major General Commanding. From fortress Monroe.
