never came within reach of the batteries on shore, the proclamation of Fremont in Missouri, and the stern discipline of McClellan, which has brought the "Grand Army" into such a state of efficiency that "it is ready for an advance into Virginia," hae presumed, have not taken very well of late. The country is called on to look out for great things from the energy of McClellan. "Henceforth if we cannot count on victory, we can at least reckon on the avoidance of such humiliations as the affairsinia and Missouri, and at our great recruiting stations." We know this statement to be false — utterly false. But when McClellan thinks proper to advance once more into Virginia, let the Herald remember what it now says, and let it not attempt to io shelter like the genuine heroes of Ball Run, but support your advanced guard with your whole force. Send on your man McClellan, if you really mean for him to advance. Cease swaggering and lying, and turn to fighting, if you do not wish to retain

Their papers for nearly two months have teemed with praises of McClellan, and with bints of his admirable preparations for another "onward movement."

All were in comparatively good condition. Gen. McClellan had issued a general order against the performance of all labor on Sunday, or at least all unnecessary labor or unnecessary movements on that day. After a carefully extended observation on the Virginia side, a new and formidable battery t, the Confederates fired from an eminence at Great Falls at a body of Federals in Maryland, by which four were wounded.

de at all points, the principal assault will, probably, be in the direction of the Chain Bridge, or at some point not a great deal farther up the river. General McClellan is, however, amply prepared at every point. His forces are so disposed as to be available wherever needed. It is more than probable, however, that the favot it will become a regular rout, followed by an army that is prepared in all respects for the "Onward to Richmond," at the heels of the defeated rebels. General McClellan's activity is almost superhuman. He attends personally to every important preparation. He has by this time looked into the face of almost every individual hood of the residence of Mr. Vanderwerken, Sergeant Ivens and Private William Fogarty, of company E, Ninth Massachusetts Regiment, were taken prisoners. General McClellan crossed the Long Bridge last night and passed along the outposts of the army, returning by way of the Chain Bridge, to personally satisfy himself of the cond
