0 guns were there before him, and nearly as many more on the way. Gen. Wool's force, holding the Fortress, is not included in these numbers. His false information regarding it was furnished, lie states, by Gen. Wool's topographical engineers; though there must have been a hundred ce to capture or destruction at the pleasure of our strategists. Gen. Wool, commanding at Fortress Monroe, having organized an expedition defor duty amounts to only about (85,000) eighty-five thousand men. Gen. Wool's command, as you will observe from the accompanying order, las byou. How can the discrepancy of 23,000 be accounted for? As to Gen. Wool's command, I understand it is doing for you precisely what a like point, military men are not likely to agree with the President. Gen. Wool's command may very probably have been doing just what an equal nu. Gen. McClellan was therefore manifestly right in not regarding Gen. Wool's 10,000 as equivalent to a reenforcement of his army by that num
nforcements should be sent to me rather much over than less than 100,000 men. The President had advised him, the day before, that there were, in all, east of the Alleghanies, less than 75,000 men not already on the James, including those under Gen. Wool at Fortress Monroe; so that to send him even 50,000 was impossible. The President went down July 7. to the Army at Harrison's Bar, and found 86,000 men there. As 160,000 had gone into that Army on the Peninsula, he wrote for an account orwise, had failed to return. The Adjutant-General's office reported (July 20th) Gen. McClellan's army as numbering — Present for duty, 101,691; on special duty, sick, or in arrest, 17,828; absent, 38,795; total, 158,314. This does not include Gen. Wool's nor Gen. Burnside's force, then at or near Fortress Monroe. Upon a suggestion July 30. from Gen. Halleck at Washington that deserters had reported the Rebels moving southward of the James, leaving but a small force in Richmond, Gen. M

If any White native of South Carolina came over to us, or evinced a desire to do so, thenceforth till near the end of the Rebellion, his name has not been given to the public. Maj.-Gen. Wool, who succeeded Gen. Butler in command at Fortress Monroe, issued oct. 14, 1861. an order directing that all colored persons called contrabands employed by officers or others within his command, must be furnished with subsistence by their e
foreign-born population, and where Col. O'Brien, who had been in command of a volunteer military force, had been followed to his home on Tuesday, and there beaten to death by the rioters, under circumstances of shocking barbarity. Here, especially in and near 21st-st., eastward of Third Avenue, a determined stand was made, during the evening of Thursday, by the rioters, against a small body of soldiers under Capt. Putnam, 12th regulars, whom Gen. Harvey Brown, commanding in the city under Gen. Wool, had sent to quell the riot, and who did it, by ordering his men to fire at those who were hurling missiles at them from the house-tops, while a body of artillerymen entered the houses and made prisoners of their male inmates. Capt. Putnam returned 13 killed, 18 wounded, and 24 prisoners; while of his men but two or three suffered injury. The whole amount of property destroyed by the rioters, for which the City was held responsible to the owners, was valued at about $2,000,000. During

days longer, when, if his life is spared, he will fearlessly tell the millions of the land the line of policy he intends to pursue. He received a letter from General Wool a few days ago, saying to him, that he (General Wool) was commander of the eastern division of the United States army, and as the times were threatening, he deGeneral Wool) was commander of the eastern division of the United States army, and as the times were threatening, he desired Mr. Lincoln to say what forces he desired at the capital on the 4th of March, and they should be on hand. Mr. Lincoln said to me, I never saw General Wool; but it was a most comforting letter, and I wrote to him in reply--As you and General Scott are as well and better acquainted with the nature and extent of the dangers, asaw General Wool; but it was a most comforting letter, and I wrote to him in reply--As you and General Scott are as well and better acquainted with the nature and extent of the dangers, and the necessary means to meet them I take pleasure in committing all that to your discretion, and so the matter rests. --Newark Daily Mercury.
ple-- A people who know not which side their bread is buttered. Misguided people! who would fain tear away three stripes-- Two of red and one of white — from our Star-spangled Banner. Seward--[aside.] Long may it wave! Welles — O'er the land of the free! Bates — And the home of the brave! Lincoln — And imagine they founded a new nation! And now yon fighting Colonel Davis, With his ragged ragamuffin crew, loudly swears He'll sit in this very chair wherein we sit-- Save the mark!--in spite of Wool or Scott. Friends, farewell! yet take something ere ye go; Leave me to myself, that I may court the drowsy god. Watch well the door, that no foul traitors enter With machines infernal, or throated revolving pistol. Spread yourselves, and lose no opportunity to tell Tha expectant people that all is going well; And while, reluctant, ye admit the Southern feeling, Urge and declare that 'tis marvellous consoling, That nothing is hurting anybody. There, go! Stand not on the order of your going,
