War to keep off a Worse war. --The New Orleans Bee says General McClellan is reported to have really thought he could conquer the Confederate States, that it was as impossible for the United States to subjugate the South, as it is for the South to subjugate the United States, and that they (the United States) were keeping up the war because, if they had not a common enemy in the South, they would fall to fighting among themselves. We doubt with the Bee, whether McClellan ever gave utteraMcClellan ever gave utterance to any such opinion; but we have no doubt that in his heart he entertains it. And not only be, but all the Black Republican party. Whatever may have been the original conviction of that party, they must already have seen enough to shake it to the very foundation.

McClellan's left wing, via the Burnt Bridge on Goose Creek. To oppose the force at Edward's Ferry, General Evans sent the 13th Mississippi, Col. Barksdale, and the 18th Mississippi, Colonel Burt. The 17th Mississippi, Colonel Featherston, was aftconducted into Leesburg, by the overjoyed boys of the gallant 8th.
