Re-enlistment or volunteers. --The public mind has been puzzled for a solution of McClellan's long-continued inaction upon the Potomac. That he has a large and well appointed army is a well ascertained fact. More than five months have elapseAmongst the variety of speculations upon the real cause of this long-continued delay, the theory is gaining ground that McClellan does not intend to advance till the period arrives when the term of enlistment of our volunteers expires, and when, in promising opportunity,--the expiration of the term of duty of the volunteer,--and the belief is now gaining ground that McClellan will await that moment before making his onward movement, and that then, when our camps are deserted, or the vacant plarn volunteers will hesitate on the subject of re-enlistment one moment after they become apprised of the trick to which McClellan looks for our destruction.

We were in perfect ignorance of the skirmish that caused the order; and, as we had given up all hopes of another general engagement with the Yankees, the cry "to arms," came like a thunder-clap from a clear sky. Numberless were the speculations indulged concerning our destiny. Some guessed it was Winchester, some Yorktown, while some thought McClellan had turned fool, and was advancing on Centreville. Night closed in cold and dreary, only one blanket was allowed on such a march, and great suffering stared us in the face. We were greatly relieved when we heard the cause of the alarm, and were ordered to unhitch and go to bed. Richmond has treated our boys very well, but she does not know yet what valuable service we have performed. I may tell a few things another time. We are very fond of the Dispatch, and buy it up eagerly

The Yankees have been eight month engaged in the work of subjugating the south, but are still as far from accomplishing their purpose as they were at the outset.
