last night, and were to be in Frederick to day. Gen. Meade has telegraphed that Lee's army is retreating in wild confusion. Every available man in Baltimore and Washington is being hurried to Frederick to intercept Lee's flying and demoralized troops. A great battle will probably come off to-morrow, which will doubtless be a finality, as Gen. Meade's forces, reinforced by Generals Couch, Schenck, and Heintzelman, will be nearly double Lee's army.

s account. Mr. Seward has been in town pretty much all day writing up dispatches for Europe by the steam packet leaving to-day. His little parlor at the Astor was besieged with visitors, anxious inquirers, &c., &c.; but the Secretary was "at home" to no body — not even his most intimate friends — so I hear. The steamers were detained three hours behind their usual time, in order to convey these dispatches. Address of Gen. M'Clellan to the army of the Potomac.

The English press on the battle of Gettysburg. The latest American news received in England was up to the 6th of July. Their accounts did not include the falling back of Gen. Meade and of Gen. Lee, both of which events had occurred, but were not there known. We give some highly interesting extracts from the comments of the English papers on the great battle: [from the London Times.] The whole result appears to be that the Federals in the second engagement did not recover the ground they had lost in the first. But the conflict must have been, as Gen. Meade describes it, severe. He more than once mentions the heavy losses his troops have sustained, and infers that the Confederates must have suffered equally. The proportion of officers is again unusually large. Three Federal Generals have fallen, and four are returned as wounded. In fact, though the Government has seen enough of "promise" in the conflict of the second day to justify the President in issuing an address

The first thought, after my wife and children, was my fine mare, named after a pretty little cousin, of Richmond, Va. I said, "poor Faunie, who will treat you as kindly as I have?"

Va., August 20, 1863. My Dear Friend: You must have heard of my solemn condition before this time, but, notwithstanding, I will give you the particulars. I was severely wounded and taken prisoner on the 9th of June, near Brandy Station, Virginia, and arrived in Richmond on the 13th of June. The Confederate Government claims that Burnside has executed two of their officers for recruiting in Kentucky, of which I know nothing, nor of the circumstances attending them. On the 6th of July all the Union Captains now prisoners drew lots for two to be executed in retaliation, and it fell on me for one. This is my present situation, and you can imagine my feelings upon so serious a matter. I have been upon many hard-fought fields of battle, where death seemed to stare me in the face; but, sir, all that is nothing to compare with what I experience every hour. It is a great inconvenience to which prisoners of war are in all cases subjected to have their letters inspected,
