n, we visited her first. Just as we left, General McClellan boarded the Galena. He came by himself, in a a battle every minute. The Express, which General McClellan had visited, moved up and lay outside some fivforce approached to within about four miles of General McClellan's front and commenced shelling, but with no efside of the Chickahominy, and threaten not only Gen. McClellan's right wing, but the navigation of the James ron of the river would be laying direct siege to Gen.

McClellan's stampede. A correspondent of the New York Herold whose letter we republished a day or two since, tells us that McClellan's stampede was no stampede at all; that it was a great strategic movement, maturely considered, and decided onMcClellan's stampede was no stampede at all; that it was a great strategic movement, maturely considered, and decided on several days before it commenced; that it was executed with the greatest deliberation, all the stores, munitions of war, wounded sick, &c. having been removed from the White House and the other hos on the railroad several days before hand by means been perpetrated by the Yankees alone. The correspondent of the Herold, in its anxiety be palliate the disaster of McClellan, inflicts a serious wound upon its military reputation. If, without any pressing cause, he undertook to make a flank m army by trying it McDowell tried it at Manassas, and it came near giving us possession of Washington.

Pryor that they should have the liberty of the city prior to their being sent home. They were detained at the Libby prison last night. In reference to the Yankee wounded, we may say that in McClellan's headlong flight he left nearly 3,000 of his deluded followers, helpless and in a starving condition, on the wayside. On yesterday morning a flag of truce boat left Drewry's Bluff, in charge of Lieut. Wood, C. S. N., and communicated with the enemy in reference to the wounded of his army. The nature of the reply did not transpire, but another flag of truce left our river fortifications yesterday evening, on the same errand which leaves it to be inferred that some understanding has been

amid the booming of heavy mortars and the bursting of shell from the 15 inch ordnance of the Yankee fleet, which is anchored close in under the more below the point on the Mississippi State, and almost completely protected from our batteries below the city and to for from the upper batteries for them to reach their adversaries. The fire of the enemy on sunday, at midday, was by a salute of thirteen guns which was ordered by the Confederate commander in honor of the great victory over McClellan in Virginia. It was thought that the enemy mistook this salute for an attack, as we learn some of our guns were dotted, and opened furiously on the city, continuing, with an intermission of about one hour, until about 12 o'clock at night. After night, the heavy mortars were ranged to throw the shell in the vicinity of the Catholic Church, where we were told they had been directed during the afternoon. The effect of these shell as they exploded, which usually took place just as they

been sent us written by John Flaherty, of company C. 27th New York regiment. John seems to be a good soldier, so far as following the example of his Commander in Chief is concerned, and has given himself up to lying with as much earnestness as McClellan himself. He says in his letter that "the battle was fought on the 25th of June, and ended to the total rout of the rebels, with a loss estimated at 12,000 in killed and wounded." He says further that "McClellan entered the Capital of the bogusal rout of the rebels, with a loss estimated at 12,000 in killed and wounded." He says further that "McClellan entered the Capital of the bogus Confederacy early the next morning with his whole force, amidst the greatest enthusiasm, and was headed by the inhabitants as their delivery." The conclusion of his letter is devoted to the distinguished part borne by his own regiment in the conflict, and adds that the regiment "is mostly or all command of Irishmen," and he is proud to belong to them.

Suppressing the truth. The news of McClellan's rout has so effected the equanimity of the notorious Picayune Butler that he refuses to permit the publication of the Richmond dispatches, in the hope of deceiving the people of New Orleans, and his own hireling soldiery. Butler is the most detestable tool of the Lincoln despotism, and in his position as Major General has disgraced humanity to a greater degree than any man who ever held a commission. This last act of his is a petty meanness in perfect keeping with his mission to the South as an agent of the most corrupt and unprincipled Administration that has ever had an existence in this, or any other country.

The enemy's movements in North Carolina. The news from North Carolina indicates active operations on the part of the forces under Burnside. It will be remembered that this commander some few weeks since visited the Peninsula and held a conference with McClellan, with the object, it was conjectured, of co-operating in the "on to Richmond" movement. The desperate straits to which the "Army of the Potomac" has since been reduced have foiled the plans to ingeniously laid down, and Burnside now seeks to cheer up the drooping spirits of Yankeedom by shelling defenceless towns in North Carolina. Viewed as a demonstration upon Weldon, an important point in our railway connections with the South, this movement may cause some apprehension in the public mind. We are not prepared to say what measures have been taken to prevent the accomplishment of such a scheme, but our information assures us that the necessary preparations for the emergency have not been neglected. If the Yankees are

lf, by personal observation, in regard to the true situation of affairs. The time of this extraordinary advent on the soil of Virginia was some two days ago. He was received with a salute of twenty-one guns, and the Federal commanders used every possible effort to get up a show of enthusiasm among the troops. But what a change a few weeks had wrought in the appearance of the "grand army!" When Lincoln last looked upon them, at Fortress Monroe, there were tidy uniforms, bright muskets and every necessary equipment to perfect the personnel of the Yankee warriors; but now, minus coats, blankets, arms, and minus everything but that "nasty red mud" of which a correspondent writes; decimated by battle and reduced by disease, the spectacle presented to the Abolition monarch must have been anything but agreeable. He has probably gone back to Washington somewhat enlightened upon the subject of the late "strategic movement," which McClellan's dispatches had rendered mysterious and obscure.
