The two former returned to Washington the next day. The dispatches represent the Confederates to be entrenched at Bunker Hill, Winchester, and Martinsburg, though their pickets are in three miles of Harper's Ferry, supported by artillery. A letter says, notwithstanding the recently paroled Federal prisoners are requing to turn up. They want something new. They are third of "all quiet along the Potomac."--Some of the city journals, of radical tendencies them a while ago to look out for "a battle a day" They have been looking out ever since the fighting at Sharpsburg, but the net results are below the anticipated average. If these are really anxious for another forward to Richmond, let them go to work and send to Gen. McClellan his gained reinforcements. Let such of as boast of then hundreds of thou

. Without halting for repose you crossed the Potomac stormed the heights of Harper's Ferry, made prisoners of more than eleven thousand men, and captured upwards of seventy pieces of artillery, all their small arms and other munitions of war. While one corps of the army was thus engaged, the other insured its success by arresting at Boonsboro' the combined armies of the enemy, advancing under their favorite General to the relief of their beleaguered comrades. On the field of Sharpsburg, with less than one third his numbers, you resisted, from daylight until dark, the whole army of the enemy, and repulsed every attack along his entire front, of more than four miles in extent. The whole of the following day you stood prepared to resume the conflict on the same ground, and retired next morning, without molestation, across the Potomac. Two attempts, subsequently made by the enemy, to follow you across the river, have resulted in his complete discomfiture, and being
