The latter were reported near Merchants' Hope Church Prince George county, about fourteen miles from Petersburg, on Tuesday last. A letter from a citizen of Starry county says that the enemy landed 10,000 men at Maycock's, on Saturday and Sunday last, and others state that 5,000 were landed on Tuesday at Coggin's Point. These numbers, however, are mere estimates and are probably much exaggerated. The Federal are said to be throwing a pontoon bridge across the river at Coggin's Point. The pickets of the enemy are occasionally captured in the neighborhood by our videttes.

M.--The position of the fleet is unchangetheir representative Governments in reference to the seven days battle before Richmond, which they describe as a defeat for the North, and as a blow from which it will not soon recover. Some of these dispatches represent the army on the James river by being in a complete state of demoralization, out of service for the present, and state that it will likely take months and months before it becomes as efficient as it was before the battle took place.

eize the key to the city of Richmond. One thing remains to be done, in order to place beyond all question the impregnability of Richmond in this its only vulnerable quarter. It is to fill the river with one continuous line of obstructions from Rocketts to Drury's Bluff, making Richmond, at least during the continuance of the war, an inland city. The enormous preparations of the enemy for assault by the river must be met by corresponding preparations for resistance. It is well known that batteries, however formidable, are not to be relied on against a combined attack of land and naval forces. Our certain reliance, in connection with the batteries, is to seal the James river up from Rocketts to Drury's Bluff, constructing a double track railroad between the two points to supply the place of the river in transportation. This is not our own suggestion, but that of eminent naval authority, and we call to it the immediate attention of the Government and city authorities.
