Yankees in Gloucester. From gentlemen who arrived in this city yesterday from the lower end of King and Queen county, we learn that a Yankee force of some three or four thou and landed at Gloucester Point on Saturday morning, and took up the line of march in the direction of Fredericksburg. This force consisted of infantry, cavalry, and a battery of artillery. The sudden and unexpected appearance of a Yankee force in that locality, suggests an inquiry as to the whereabouts of McClellan and the remnant of his army who left Westover in the early part of last week. It is pretty certain that his army has never reached Fredericksburg. A gentlemen, who lives on the Rappahannock river, and who left his home on Friday afternoon, assures us that so troops had passed up the river since Burn-side's corps. It is, therefore, not at all improbable that the force landed at Gloucester Point on Saturday is but the advance guard of the army that recently evacuated the banks of James river.

y. He brought along with him a full regiment of flatterers and toad enters, to celebrate the deeds which it was supposed he was to perform. These men kept the en Northern press filled with his glory. The whole world was on tiptoe, expecting the destruction of the infant republic. The march began up the peninsula, and nations held their breath in suspense. At every step he issued proclamations full of sound and fury, boasting of himself and his deeds. At last he came in night of Richmond, the goal of all his hopes and all his aspiration. And what was the result? With a force reduced to half its original size, he was driven from his lines to a position on James river, where the remains of his army melted away by disease, until at last it dwindled down to a third of its original force, and forty thousand pale, fever stricken wretches, were all that were left to represent the "Grand Army" of the Potomac. We have seldom read a score instructive history than his adventures make.

s are being sent to the field, it is clear that Pope's and McClellan's armies may be strengthened in the next fortnight to the extent of at least 60,000, while as many more new levies will join our armies in the field in the West in the same time. A letter from Aquia creek informs us that Gen. Reynolds is now in command of the Pennsylvania Reserves, having succeeded Gen. Seymour, removed by Gen. McClellan. The exchange of prisoners is still progressing at Aiken's Landing, on the James river, through Adjutant-General Thomas. It is now confined to officers. The public around us are evidently momentarily expecting to hear of another battle in the vicinity of Slaughter's Mountain. A considerable portion of the army of Major-General Pope is now on the Rapidan, seven miles south and west of that now historical eminence. All of it is however, so posted, we apprehend, as successfully to resist an onslaught of double their own number. So we believe that whenever attacked it
