, in speaking of this fact given in the General's Report: It may well be doubted whether, in all recorded reports or dispatches of military commanders, a parallel to this extraordinary avowal can be found. We suppose it the especial business of a general to know at each moment the true position of affairs, and to have some agency in ruling it. While the Confederates were waiting for the dawn to renew the battle, the National troops were all silently withdrawn; and early the next day July 1, 1862. the Army of the Potomac, united for the first time since the Chickahominy first divided it, was in a strong position on Malvern Hill, and its communication with a new base of supplies on the James assured. Terrible had been the experience of that army during the preceding seven days--terrible indeed had been its losses, and other afflictions. The high and dry land of Malvern Hills, and the sight of the James River, inspired the worn and wearied soldiers with gladness and hope; for they

overnment to the close of the fiscal year, at the end of June, 1864, which would make the whole sum to be provided for, for the next eighteen months, more than nine hundred million dollars. The National debt on the first of July, 1863, was $1,098,798,181. It was estimated that at the same period In 1864 it would be $1,686,956,190. The average rate of interest on the whole debt, without regard to the varying margin between coin and notes, had been reduced from 4386 per cent., on the first of July, 1862, to 377 per cent. The important question, How is this vast sum to be provided? had to be met. The able Minister of Finance was ready with an answer. Keeping in mind the four objects in view which had controlled his action up to that time, namely, moderate interest, general distribution, future controllability, and incidental utility, he now renewed propositions which he had already made, and recommended two immediate measures of safety, in connection with a scheme for establishing a

United States steamer Octarora, off Vicksburgh, Tuesday, July 1, 1862. sir: You no doubt wondered what our firing has been about. The enemy are trying to erect defences to sweep the river and drive off the mortars. We drive them away as often as they attempt to work. We have dismounted one gun on the water-battery, which they cannot mount again, for our fire, which is very accurate. We have dismounted another in the large fort — their big rifled gun — and they dismounted a gun by overworking it, carrying away the leap-squares. We found out the two former by prisoners taken, and the last by reconnoitring. Our pickets have been almost inside of the fortress. Yesterday the rebels came down on the head of the mortars with one regiment of Tennessee troops and one regiment of Mississippians, while a brigade attempted to get into the rear of them, not knowing the force of steamers we had there
