He speaks of the Young Napoleon as an intelligent and agreeable gentleman, but as the most dejected and unhappy man he has ever seen. The cares and difficulties of the more than herculean labor he assumed of reducing Richmond, had made him appear prematurely old. Frequently, said the did he reprove the levity of the ofily bath, when a flippant Major said to him: "Ab, never mind, we shall soon be in Richmond, and it will be all right then." "Don't be too sure of that, sir, said McClellan with a sad smite. Never did the Doctor hear him give utterance to a word implying a belief that he would take Richmond. And yet, this care worn man, who return

emotions of terror and wrath which agitate the mind of Yankee Doodle, are infinitely amusing. It is quite evident that McClellan's "change of base" does not impose upon them.--They see, clearly enough, that he has been tremendously flogged, and thashing out of the rebellion was spoken of as a fact already accomplished. Nothing could exceed the pomposity with which McClellan's immense army was heralded on its way to glory and conquest. But after it was beaten — after it had fled under sheltef history, Mr. Chandler has let the truth leak out. It must be very unpalatable to Doodle, but there is no help for it, McClellan had 120,000 men when he entered the Peninsula, and was reinforced by 38,000 more before the late battles. His whole foations, equal of themselves to a reinforcement of 200,000 men. If our army could beat that army thus fortified, it can beat in the open field all the remains of McClellan's army reinforced by the fresh levy of 300,000 which Lincoln is calling for.

The Sirge guns. --Major Trumbult, of the First Connecticut Artillery, states that corps had charge of all the siege guns of the army during McClellan's masterly retreat, and saved every one of them. The guns were placed in position on five different occasions during the retreat, and the advancing columns of the enemy thereby held in check, until the positions which the Commanding General designed to secure were gained.

Fire in the Camp. --Parties from below state that there was a large fire in the vicinity of Berkeley, where McClellan's Hessian army is now encamped, on Saturday night last. From such observations as could be made on this side of the river, coupled with the fact that repeated explosions, of guns or kegs of powder, were distinctly heard, the general impression is that another of Lincoln's gunboats has been destroyed. The reflection of the light illuminated the south bank of the river for several miles, and small objects were plainly visible. We suppose late papers by the next flag of truce will throw additional light on the matter. By the way, the gunboat known as the Maratanza, which get aground in the Appomattox some three weeks ago, and was burned by the enemy, was a loss which has never been permitted to find its way into the Northern papers.--The wreck of the Maratanza is still to be seen.--Petersburg Express, yesterday.
