useless lives were lost. We cannot vouch for the accuracy of the last mentioned report, but have no doubt that the three months men determined to leave the service. From Western and North western Virginia the accounts are vague. A dispatch from Cincinnati makes it appear that Capt. O. J. Wise, of the Blues, had captured three companies of Federalists. It is probable that an engagement has taken place in the neighborhood of Laurel Hill, between Gen. Garnett's Confederate forces and McClellan's command, since the Cincinnati telegrams inform us that they were approaching each other at last accounts. We have nothing further in regard to the reported engagement of the 7th. If the Federalists were defeated on that day, as has been stated, we should hardly receive any account of it from the North. In consequence of Gen. Scott's order for the suppression of telegraphic dispatches, we have nothing from the Northern Associated Press relative to the army movements on the Potomac.

. O. A. Lawson, of Columbus, made a good record yesterday afternoon, at Middle Fork Bridge. Friday afternoon, without Gen. McClellan's knowledge, Gen. Schleich ordered Col. Morrow to detach fifty men for a scouting expedition. Surgeon McMeans accompee that the rebels were about 300 strong, mostly Georgians, including 40 horsemen, armed with Sharpe's carbines. Gen. McClellan is much pleased with the gallantry of the men, but severely censures the expedition. Col. McCook took command of marching orders. The Tenth Indians have left to-day; the remainder of the brigade leave at daylight to-morrow. Gen. McClellan goes forward to-morrow.--Schletch's brigade will follow immediately. The Tenth Ohio just arrived; it is in Schlet. Stratton and eight privates of the company. Subsequently the commissioned officers of the regiment appealed to Gen. McClellan to revoke the sentence and give the innocent members a chance to redeem the reputation of the company. After conside

From Northwestern Virginia--Northern account. Buchannon, Va., July 10. --A Federal reconnoitering party, which ventured too near to the Southern lines, had one of its men killed and two wounded. Skirmishes during the past two days have been bloody. The Southerners are strongly entrenched. If they make a determined stand, a heavy loss of life is inevitable. Gen. McClellan was to have attacked them this morning.

Still further from the Northwest. Buckhannon, Va., July 10, P. M. --Gen McClellan reports that the Southerners are strongly entrenched within two miles of his camp. He directs that all Federal forces within forty miles of his camp shall join his column immediately.

stores, and the workshops from which they fit out their armies. It would be far easier for us to take Philadelphia than to capture Washington. Even if we should give them notice of our intention to pursue this course they would not believe us, and our army would be far on its road through Pennsylvania before the wise noodles in Washington would wake to the reality of our movement. They think that they are safe so long as Washington remains in their power. Even the giant intellect of a McClellan will not save them. The combined genius of their acknowledged best Generals, Scott, Mansfield and McDowell, could not withstand the blighting touch of Southern prowess.--Let us not talk of taking their fortified places any longer. Leave Washington, like Fortress Monroe, Fort Pickens, Fort McHenry, Tortugas and other places, for after- consideration. Let the war be carried into Africa, let the enemy be made to feel the blasting, desolating effects of our conquering arms. What a shaking

The only laurels so far reaped by a Lincoln General in the unholy war which Lincoln has commenced, have been earned by Gen McClellan, whom Gen. Scott likes as a rattlesnake does white ash. One of the Lieutenants of the Staff of Prince Napoleon, now visiting the United States, is a son of the astronomer Arago.

From Washington. Gen. McClellan's preparations for a Vigorous campaign — a forward movement determined on, &c. Nashville, Nov. 6. --A dispatch published in the New York Times, dated at Washington, Oct. 31st., states that the Federal army on the Potomac will not go into winter quarters within their present lines of entrenchments. No such purpose has been entertained by the Government, and no such suggestion been made by Gen McClellan, who continues actively employed, and his preparations are on a large scale. The World's dispatch states that President Lincoln had assured parties that a forward movement of the army had been determined on. The Tribune's dispatch states that the Navy Department has recently ordered 500 more reified cannon.

over the boasted Gibraltar of the west. Finding himself completely turned on both sides of the Mississippi, the enemy was obliged to evacuate or surrender. "Large quantities of artillery and stores were captured." We find appendant to the foregoing, in the Memphis Appeal, a communication from one of our officers, which we copy: Headq'rs First Grand Division, Army of the Mississippi, Hun, Boldy, Denn Tenn, March 17, 1862. Above you have the report of Gen Hadleck to Gen McClellan, of what he calls the capturing of Columbus. I do not wish to suggest that Gen. Halleck has meant to say what was not strictly use, for my knowledge of that officer for inasmuch an intimation; but for the truth of history — which is being made very rapidly just now — I feel called on to say, nevertheless, that the last paragraph of his report is a more fable, entirely destitute of truth. Every gun from the fort was shipped before the evening of the 1st. During Saturday night the l
