which would have been ample for the defense of France. This I carried to the Secretary at his lodgings, and he was so well pleased with it he wanted me to accompany him to the lodgings of the President, in the same hotel, and show it to him. This I declined, alleging it might be too late for the press. He laughed at my diffidence, and disinclination on such occasions to approach the President. I told him my desire was to serve the cause, and not myself. I suppose he was incredulous. June 18 The city is content at the evacuation. The people have unbounded confidence in the wisdom of the administration, and the ability of our generals. Beauregard is the especial favorite. The soldiers, now arming daily, are eager for the fray; and it is understood a great battle must come off before many weeks; as it is the determination of the enemy to advance from the vicinity of Washington, where they are rapidly concentrating. But our people must curb their impatience. And yet we dar

ith, the New York street commissioner, had been urged as commander-in-chief. June 13 Gen. Lee is satisfied with the present posture of affairs-and McClellan has no idea of attacking us now. He don't say what he means to do himself. June 14 The wounded soldiers bless the ladies, who nurse them unceasingly. June 15 What a change! No one now dreams of the loss of the capital. June 17 It is not yet ascertained what amount of ordnance stores we gained from the battle. June 18 Lee is quietly preparing to attack McClellan. The President, who was on the battle-field, is very cheerful. June 19 To-day so many applications were made to the Secretary himself for passports to the armies, and beyond the lines of the Confederate States, that, forgetting the revocation of his former order, he sent a note into the Assistant Secretary, saying he thought a passport agent had been appointed to attend to such cases; and he now directed that it be done.

of the cruel deed, the whole negro cargo was thrown into the bay, and every one left to perish by drowning. Not one, perhaps, escaped the cruel fate visited upon them by those who profess to be their earnest friends and warmest sympathizers. June 18 From Winchester we have many accounts, in the absence of official reports (Gen. Lee being too busy in the saddle to write), which have exalted our spirits most wonderfully. The number of prisoners .taken, by the lowest estimate is 5000,--theemoving the railroad machinery, stock, and stores. Great excitement and alarm pervaded the entire country. In the hard fighting, Gen. Lee reports our loss as one killed and two wounded. Here's the second dispatch: Shelbyville, Tenn., June 18TH.--Nashville papers of the 17th inst. have been received here. They contain Lincoln's proclamation, calling for 100,000 militia, for six months service, and the following highly interesting telegrams: Loudon, Pa., June 16th.--The rebels

rtainly given umbrage to the President, as the following indorsement, which I found on a paper to-day, will show: No officer has a right to stop troops moving under the orders of superior authority. If he assumes such power, he does it at his hazard, and must be justified by subsequent events rather than by good intentions. Gen. Beauregard has, in this case, by approving and continuing the order (Gen. Colston's) assumed the responsibility of the act. --J. D. June 16th, 1864. June 18 Clear and cool. To-day, heavy firing is heard on the south side of the river. It is believed a general engagement is in progress. It is the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. If we gain the day, it will end the war. It is now said Gen. Early (with Ewell's corps) has reached Lynchburg, where a battle must occur. Gen. Ewell has been assigned to the command of this department, Gen. Ransom going West. We have advices (4 P. M.) of a terrific battle at Petersburg last ev
