the future movements of the two vessels. The London Daily Telegraph publishes extracts from letters addressed by the Prince de Joinville to his brother, the Duc d' Aumale, giving an account of the retreat of Gen. McClellan's army to the James river, written June 27. The Prince shows the causes which compelled Gen. McClellan to undertake the movement. On the previous day it was suddenly announced that Jackson was about to act on McClellan's rear, and that Beauregard had arrived at Richmond. The Prince says that all that greatly complicated our situation, and it was then and there determined to take up a new base of operation upon the James river, under the protection of the gunboats. He describes the part he took in arresting the panic among the Union troops, and says, "Your Prince and his nephews were more than once under a most violent fire of musketry and artillery, and acted with distinguished bravery." The London Times, in commenting on the confiscation bill, says:

that soon after dark the devil made his appearance with a large number of his imps, and putting the negroes aside, had the ditch done in a short while, and from that time to this the ditch has been very properly called by the name of the principal contractor. With the conclusion of this legend we arrived at Wilmington, and after a scuffle for baggage, and a curse at the apology for a supper, we got on the ferry boat and crossed the river. Here you find the cars of the Wilmington and Manchester road guarded by soldiers, who insist on seeing your pass; after showing which a seat is selected with a view to spending the night as well as you can, and, after the cars start, the dim lights reveal to you the forms of your fellow sufferers in all imaginable positions and postures, while the smoke and cinders from the engine, and the hosts of mosquitoes, render the night hideous, you yawn and stretch, and rub your eyes in the morning, with a vague idea that you have been buried alive, and
The Daily Dispatch: August 14, 1862., [Electronic resource], The enemy's movements on James river. (search)
The enemy's movements on James river. The Petersburg Express hears from a source entitled to the highest credit that McClellan is evacuating his position at Berkeley, steady reports of which have been in circulation for some days past. The recent movements on Malvern Hill and the pretended permanent occupation of Coggin's Point and Maycox, are now known to have been more debts to cover his evacuation. A party who was recently in McClellan's army says the parties who are throwing up fortifications on the opposite side of the river have never exceeded fifteen hundred or two thousand, and laborers and soldiers are changed every day a fresh party going over in the morning, and those who went over the previous day immediately returned. It is considered a sort of excursion to cross the river, and the south bank has been declared by the Yankee surgeons the healthiest. The citizens of Prince George and Charles City have been largely robbed of negroes and other property.

James river and Kanawha canal. --We learn that the canal from Richmond to Judith dam, five miles above Lynchburg, is in good order, admitting boats with full loads, (say 70 tons.) From Judith dam to Buchanan sand bars have formed at the mouth of some of the outlet locks, preventing the passage of boats with full loads. The packets, however, run the whole distance without interruption. A number of the hands belonging to the regular squads of the company have lately absconded, and it is found extremely difficult to supply their place. About fifty convicts now employed at the Clover Dale Furnace will probably soon be transferred to some point on the line requiring the largest force, where they may be worked to advantage. In view of the importance of keeping up uninterrupted communication on the canal, it would seem good policy for the Government to direct the forcible arrest and transfer of all able-bodied negro men in and near the enemy's lines, to be employed on the public wo

Released on parole. Dr. Carter W. Wormley, lately imprisoned in the Federal Bastile at Fort Delaware, has been released on parole and reached his home in Virginia. We are informed that when the boat touched the wharf on James river last Tuesday, the doctor quietly walked ashore, knelt down, and kissed the soil of the good old State.
