McClellan urged their immediate organization. The most reliable information concerning the movements of the disunionists is, that they are slowly moving their forcesting view of things at Washington. The "special" correspondent of the Baltimore Exchange writes from Washington, August 15: The sharp practice of General McClellan had reduced this Federal Capital to comparative tranquility, until the several emanates (as mutinies are now politely termed) in Federal regiments on both si. One of them, said to be a Baltimore man, has "struck" after a more downright style, for he has killed a teamster at the mess-room and escaped. So you see General McClellan's ways are not all ways of pleasantness, nor are all the paths of glory peace. Apprehensions growing out of the near neighborhood of Beauregard and John

A letter from Martinsburg reports that the Confederate cavalry are constantly killing the Federal pickets. The correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, says that many of the disasters to our various regiments was in consequence of the mutiny among the three months volunteers who refused to go to Tortugas. The Herald's correspondent says that numberless incidents go to show that the Confederates are on the eye of attacking the Federal ones. The Baltimore Secessionists have received intelligence that the Confederates are gradually working their way towards Washington. Gen. Scott doubts this, but Gen. McClellan, who pretends to know Gen. Beauregard's mode of combination, anticipates an early attack from some point on the Potomac.

The following is the order read to the 79th Regiment on Wednesday: "Th the military authorities here spend so much care as the suppression of a knowledge of the true condition of the army on the other side of the Potomac. General McClellan's covenant with the Northern Abolition press has been entered into not so much for the purpose of concealing from the Confederates the movements of his force of the three years volunteers. But it is not only amongst the volunteer officers that the spirit of discontent has displayed itself. The appointment of Gen.

But if Congress votes large sums, and the Executive spends them, the Northerners will certainly want something for their money.--President Lincoln and General Scott will be expected to prosecute the war vigorously, and, if report is to be believed, the hour of action was approaching. The march and victories of Gen. McClellan have filled the Unionists with joy, and the ill-fortune of one or two former encounters is quite forgotten in the hopes which this brilliant opening of the campaign inspires.
