[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.]Gen. McClellan's and nephew-- remarkableliberality — free Market — things about Mobile. Mobile, Ala., March 24, 1862. A few days since Mr. English, sister of Gen. McClellan, the Yankee Commander-in-Chief, was in this city, and of course attracted some attention. Her husband is aGen. McClellan, the Yankee Commander-in-Chief, was in this city, and of course attracted some attention. Her husband is a wealthy planter, and lives just above this on the Alabama river. Young English, the General's nephew, has gone up to Corinth to fight for the South. He seems to desire nothing so much as to most in house, a combat his distinguished kinsman. By the way, Abe' Lincoln's wife has two sisters living not far from McClellan's sisMcClellan's sister, on this same beautiful river. How strange that the Lincolnites should insist on bringing "fire and the sword" against these so near to them by the line of blood. I venture the assertion that no city in the Confederacy has evinced greater literality signs this war has been upon us than Mobile Everybody belongs to some soc

Gen. McClellan. We feel no disposition to disparage in any degree any claims to being a great warrior which Gen. McClellan may have fairly earned in any war in which he has become distinguished. ready to be swallowed, is a conception of Gen. McClellan, or of old Scott, we are not informed, thoh is a reptile after his own heart, what has McClellan actually accom plished! He has had command made an artful effort to conceal the fact of McClellan's real responsibility for the disastrous faiimed. "He could move a world in arms" When Gen. McClellan proves his ability to move large masses, hing themselves to deny. They cannot see why McClellan, who professed to have an army of a hundred roved a fatal gift, disconcerting completely McClellan's long deliberated plan of the campaign. We believe that McClellan is a gentleman, humane in his sentiments, and has some regard for the usageapsed, and perhaps twenty will pass with no other result than to prove McClellan a false prophet.

ng piece — no, not even a pocket-pistol; garrison at your expense each large town with brutal soldiery; take your cotton, tobacco and grain to pay their debts; in many instances confiscate real estate property, upon which they will settle Yankees to aid in your oppression. That they believe themselves competent to the performance of this task, I am not able to say. Certainly many do. Whether the inventor of the new saddle entertains such views, I know not. I hardly think he does. I mean McClellan. Like all new brooms, he made a clean sweep at Washington. When he first took command everything must be changed. The noble bearing and brilliant charges of Southern cavalry at Bull Run induced him to increase that arm of the service until he had horses enough to carry nearly all his infantry. But then came the rub. His men could not ride, so he caused to be made several thousand saddles, after a new plan of his own. The idea was to fix the rider securely upon the horse by elevating th

n, March 30. --The violent thunder storm which visited Washington this evening was accompanied by flying rumors of an exciting character respecting General Banks' column and the Merrimac. I learn from the highest authority that the reports are false and that everything connected with army movements in quiet as far as is known here. The government has learned through parties under arrest for disloyalty that General Beauregard stated seven weeks ago that he should never fight General McClellan at Manassas, but that his plan would be to draw our army as far into the centre of the Southern country as possible, and cut off his retreat. Secretary Seward returned to lay from Winchester, whither he went with two physicians on an errand of mercy. A passenger who arrived here from that town says that there is no apprehension that Gen. Shields's arm will have to be amputated, and that the is in the best possible spirits; also that the rebels under Jackson were yesterday still i

he recent Confederate reverses have the very same effect in sending us renewed assurance of the Southern determination to continue resistance through all its possible phases down to the guerrilla warfare of Spain and Mexico, even though, as in the latter case, there should ensue an intermitable anarchy. At this distance it is useless to discuss the expected operations, which before this will have been commenced with more or less effect. It is probably decided by this time whether General McClellan could turn the left of the Confederate forces, and, by reinforeign Generals Lanks and Stone, get to the rear of the enemy and obtain poisession of Richmond. A third victory in Tennessee will have secured the Western half of that State to the Federal side, or a defeat will have rendered fruitless all the blood shed at Forts Henry and Denelson, The superiority of the North in numbers, in wealth, and in the means of locomotion, makes it probable that they have followed up their victory,
