hey feel as though their future was very dark. March 11th, 1862. Yesterday we heard good news from the mouth of James River. The ship Virginia, formerly the Merrimac, having been completely incased with iron, steamed out into Hampton Roads, ran into the Federal vessel Cumberland, and then destroyed the Congress, and ran the Minnesota ashore. Others were damaged. We have heard nothing further; but this is glory enough for one day, for which we will thank God and take courage. March 13th, 1862. Our hearts are overwhelmed to-day with our private grief. Our connection, Gen. James McIntosh, has fallen in battle. It was at Pea Ridge, Arkansas, on the 7th, while making a dashing cavalry charge. He had made one in which he was entirely successful, but seeing the enemy reforming, he exclaimed, We must charge again. My men, who will follow me? He then dashed off, followed by his whole brigade. The charge succeeded, but the leader fell, shot through the heart. The soldiers r

He also declared that any State in which rebellion had existed that should have in Congress at that time Jan. 1, 1863. representatives chosen in good faith, at a legal election, by the qualified voters of such State, should have the benefit of such conclusive evidence of its loyalty, and be exempted from the operations of the threatened proclamation. He called their attention to the acts of Congress approved March 13, 1862, and July 16, 1862, bearing upon the subject, as his warrant for the warning. It seemed as if this preliminary proclamation would indeed be as inoperative as the Pope's bull against the Comet. It was made instrumental in firing the Southern heart and intensifying the rebellious feeling, for it was pointed to by the conspirators, and their followers and friends in all parts of the Republic, as positive evidence that the war was waged, not for the restoration of the Union, but for the

This was assented to by General McClellan, and immediately communicated to the War Department; and on the same day the following reply was received:-- War Department, March 13, 1862.

A total of 40,000 men for the defense of the city would suffice. （Sumner.) This decision, being communicated to the War Department, was promptly responded to as follows: War Department, March 13, 1862. To Maj.-Gen. Geo. B.
