A second Daggett. The Whig, of yesterday, says that after the battle of Rich Mountain, both McClellan and Rosecrane declared to Confederate officers, who were prisoners of war, that they had much rather be leading an army against Massachusetts than Virginia. This, the Whig says, can be proved by unimpeachable authority if denied. We have nothing to say about Rosecrans. He is not worth the ink it takes to write his name. But what shall be said of McClellan, the would be gentleman soldiMcClellan, the would be gentleman soldier, who is now leading 100,000 ruffians to plunder and devastate the country he once offered to serve, in consideration of higher pay, and, as he supposes, more certain emolument. What, but that he is a genuine hireling of the Dugard Daggett pattern — a man that will serve any cause which pays well, and always that cause which pays best — a man that puts his honor and his conscience alike in his pocket, and offers himself to the highest bidder! Mercenary wretches of this description were

e 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.

Davis. About the first step of the latter was to initiate the building of connecting links between main routes in the South, to the end that troops could be rapidly concentrated at exposed points. Gen McClellan was much condemned here, when it was ascertained that he was not going to march upon Richmond via Fredericksburg; but all see and approve his present line of communication, whereby he is, by steamers and rail cars, within ten miles of the reb

ry one expecting to see our troops driven into the Chickahominy; but when they saw the rebels running towards the city the greatest consternation prevailed. Many of the inhabitants have crossed the James river, expecting the city to be occupied by our troops soon. It is rumored that Gen. Magruder is going to resign, having become disgusted with the rebel military administration. We are informed that there are no troops between the Rappahannock and the army of the Potomac under Gen. McClellan. A flag of truce came in to-day from General Huger, asking for the bodies of General Pettigrew, and Cols. Davis, Leightfoot, Long, and Breton, who were supposed to have been killed in the late battle. Col. Davis was the only one killed. Leightfoot and Long are prisoners, and Breton was wounded, as also Gen. Pettigrew, Col. D. vis's body will be returned. Prisoners of War.

ncy to endure these terrible sufferings rather than give in. If they have, and of course, they never can be conquered.--There are histories without end of natures deserting their sea- coasts, leaving their plains, retiring from their rivers, holding their own in their mountains, and retaining their independence at last; and, if the Southerners have but the endurance of which it would be easy to cite a hundred instances, they may well laugh the idea of subjugation to scorn. But they have sometimes talked so loudly and acted so feebly — as in this case of Now Orleans — that we are not certain that words really do mean fact. It is impossible to deny what the Southern press says — that they have a great front of battle still unsure on. There is Beauregard at Corinth with a great army which has shown it can fight, and which he has shown himself able to lead.--There is Johnston face to face with McClellan at Yorktown. There is Jackson in the Valley of the Shenandoah. There are ot

June 8th and 9th. 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 surely aids in the defence of Richmond as any along the line of the Chickahominy.

From Norfolk. Information from Norfolk, received from various sources, leads us to believe that the reported evacuation of Norfolk by the Yankee forces is correct. A large force has been stationed there, but all but two or three thousand have been removed, having just enough to hold the city. In all probability the remainder have been sent to reinforce McClellan on the Chickahominy, who is loudly calling for additional men. It is said the Navy-Yard has been destroyed, the fortifications around the city blown up, and the railroads rendered useless, Lincoln begins to see that the policy of occupying every point on the Southern coast is by no means a good one, and, since the recruits do not come in as rapidly as was anticipated, has been forced to withdraw to prevent too great diversion of his force. The absence of these men will be no cause of regret to the people of Norfolk.
