is easily understood. The dispatch jumps at once to the fight of yesterday, (Monday,) and says it was terrific, the enemy having three to one--the old, old story. It was begun by our land forces, who fought four hours; then our gunboats got in range and gave the Confederates much trouble; they stood it for two hours, and then retired. Then we are told that our men took many cannon and 2,000 prisoners--among them Gen. Magruder, (Most excellent news, if true,) All this took place at Turkey creek, bend or bridge, about ten miles above City Point. Seventeen miles of retreat from this place would bring our army down to the place — Harrison's Bar — where McClellan had his headquarters (so says a later dispatch) on Tuesday. But then the Fortress Monroe correspondent abruptly adds that "the retreat of the Confederates last evening (that's Monday) was with great disorder, and their loss has been very heavy, much greater, it is thought, than ours." But he adds that nothing deficits is k

rn that Gen. Shield's army went up James river on Tuesday to reinforce McClellan. Our Washington dispatches state that a cavalry officer from Fredericksburg reported heavy cannonading heard all day on Wednesday, in the direction of Richmond; that at night the sky was strongly illuminated with lurid light, and on Thursday (yesterday morning,) there was a great smoke to the south, as if from some dense conflagration. The death of Stonewall Jackson, and also of Gen. Barnwell Rhett, of South Carolina, is announced in a Richmond paper. From this sketch of the day's dispatches, and from the letters of our correspondents, (elsewhere printed) the reader can get all the light available to the public in regard to the great contest before Richmond. But the manner in which information has been conveyed, and the hesitancy on all sides about publication, is not calculated to inspire a lively faith in any statement.

We believe, moreover, that our troops now at Washington and the points named are fully prepared to resist such a movement. At least we hope so. And we also hope that our troops now in the Shenandoah Valley and elsewhere in Eastern Virginia, will be disposed of so as to effectually prevent any other northward movements of this rebel, if he be alive, or of his ghost, if he be dead.

apparently truthful, said that he had lost dozens; but this late at news came from the War Department--they could not deceive the people — certainly not intentionally. So, opinion was rather in favor of the latest dispatch; and the painful suspense of the people was measurably relieved. In this state of mind, the city entered upon the eve of the national anniversary. But the customary hilarity was not manifest; the evening was cold and gloomy, and even the irrepressible patriotism of Young America was tame and spiritless. Our next telegraphic advices, in order of date, are from Fortress Monroe, July 2, endorsed "By Mail to the Associated Press." The reports from the army by this correspondent are to Tuesday, inclusive. That was the sixth day of continuous fighting all along our lines, a fight that for destructiveness of life has no parallel in history. Our killed, wounded, and missing are estimated at 15,000 to 20,000. This letter denies the loss of the siege guns, statin

After a conflict that the Examiner says was "terrible," and a loss that was "terrible" on their side the advancing begins were swept back, for their "situation was hopeless." And then, adds the Confederate journal, "seeing their adversary retire, the most vociferous cheers those along the whole Yankee line." God bless the "Yankee line!" Again victorious, and victorious finally! This, is seems, was five miles north of Darbytown and the Newmarket road, and this is northwest of, and some distance above Turkey bridge.--The next day the righting was renewed, but the Examiner has no result to tell. From McClellan's dispatch of the 3d, however, we know they were again beaten, and the harassed and worn-out army made good its position on the James river, and here the terrible ordeal of six battles ceased. On Wednesday and Thursday, up to 5.30, there was no lighting. We cannot exaggerate the importance of this fact — there was no lighti

The nation had been disgraced by this division of the Army of the Potomac, which Secretary Stanton had opposed. If that army had been commanded by that arch traitor, Jefferson Davis, there had not been a step since December he would not have ordered. He called on the press to stop denouncing at mere clerk, and to denounce the President and Gen. McClellan. Mr. Lane, of Kansas, joined in loud condemnation of the manner in which the war had been conducted and the so-called conservative policy, urging the putting of arms in the hands of all loyal men in the States, without reference to color. If this had been done at first, as his friends desired, the rebellion would have been crushed in sixty days. He vehemently advocated this policy. After further discussion, the Senate went into Executive session and subsequently adjourned. The bombardment of Vicksbur

It represented that a gunboat had arrived from the scene of action, yesterday, (Monday,) 10 miles above City Point; it went on to say that division [what division] had fought four days and retreated 17 miles. If that division was a portion of McClellan's right wing, the 17 miles is easily understood. The dispatch jumps at once to the fight of yesterday, (Mod it for two hours, and then retired.

s, not just before a battle, when the people are enthusiastic, but just on the heels of a repulse, when the people are depressed. When Stanton divided McClellan's command he himself assumed the practical direction of the campaign. The people knew and the press announced that Jeff. Davis was massing all his troops at Richmond, just as a good business man concentrates his means where he finds the best investment. The Secretary of War could not understand this. Consequently our forces on James Island retreated from a foe who had gone to Richmond; our troops in the Shenandoah built entrenchments against Jackson, who had gone to Richmond; our troops at the West stood on the defensive against Beauregard, who had gone to Richmond; and Burnside sought in vain for the North Carolina Confederates, who had also gone to Richmond. McClellan was, therefore, overwhelmed. War Items from Washington. A Washington letter in the Baltimore Sun, dated 7th inst., says: Officers from the s
