f Major-Gen. McClellan's operations on the Peninsula operates to check business" The British war ships from Vera Cruz have brought the great bulk of the English contingent from Mexico to Bermuda, who are said to be in a bad plight, suffering from yellow fever. The steamers Bermuda and Herald, under English colors, were recently loading at Bermuda with military stores, intending to run the blockade at some Southern port. The prisoners and property captured by Gen. Pope and Commodore Foote, at and in the vicinity of Island No.10, are summed up as follows:-- Major-General1 Brig.-Generals3 Colonels10 Lieut.

Will he find the foe? I am not sure that he will soon find him in large numbers. If he meats him, will he conquer him?--There is not doubt of it with such troops, so well armed, and with such ponderous masses of artillery, and led by such experienced officers as Heintzelman, McDowell, Franklin, Sumner, Hooker, Smith, McCall, Cassy, Doubleday, and their associates, who have seen service, and such recruits from civil life as Backs, Wadsworth, Martindale, Cochrane, and others who are eager to distinguish themselves, the grand army of the Potomac, whether its nominal board be McClellan, McDowell, or Hallack, or Fremont, or the President of the United States, (Its Constitutional Commander-In-Chief,) or with concert of action, even if it have no nominal head, will know no such word as

From the West. The Augusta Constitutionalist, of Sunday, publishes the following items of news: A private letter from a firm in Memphis, to a gentleman in this city, says that the Federal gunboats ran by our works at Island No.10, and attacked our batteries in the rear, which resulted in the surrender of the position by our forces. No particulars are given. Sergeant McGregor, of the Clinch Rifles, reached our city on yesterday in charge of the body of private Joel Freeman, who died at Knoxville of fever. Mr. McG, states that Capt. Platt--who had been detained at Knoxville on regimental business — started to Huntsville day before yesterday, to join his command, which had gone forward to Corinth, and was obliged to stop at Chattanooga on account of the occupation of Huntsville by the Federal. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, of Monday, contains the following account: Sergeant E. E. Pritchard, of the Washington Artillery, arrived here last evening, and gi

-There is not doubt of it with such troops, so well armed, and with such ponderous masses of artillery, and led by such experienced officers as Heintzelman, McDowell, Franklin, Sumner, Hooker, Smith, McCall, Cassy, Doubleday, and their associates, who have seen service, and such recruits from civil life as Backs, Wadsworth, Martindale, Cochrane, and others who are eager to distinguish themselves, the grand army of the Potomac, whether its nominal board be McClellan, McDowell, or Hallack, or Fremont, or the President of the United States, (Its Constitutional Commander-In-Chief,) or with concert of action, even if it have no nominal head, will know no such word as fail ! Its weight is so great that if it be but let loose and precipitated upon the foe, it will grind him to powder. In a word, the army will move, and will win. But no thanks to the "Major-General Commanding." He will go forward, because he could not help it if he were to try. I assert upon the most trustworthy aut

You have met and overcome today the best troops we have. Beauregard.--I am glad to hear it, and trust that the result of this day's work may bring your Government to a frame of mind more favorable to peace. Prentiss.--That can hardly be, sir. If your army had pushed on after the battle of Manassas, it might have taken Washington, and overrun the North, and brought us to peace. We had an insufficient supply of arms then, and were not prepared. The muskets purchased in Belgium by Fremont were of but little account; you could turn your thumb in the muzzle, the bore was so large. We also procured from England the old arms that have been stored away as useless in London Tower ever since the war with Napoleon in 1816. They are of no value whatever. It is only within the last sixty days that we have become thoroughly and efficiently armed. Our supply is now ample, and we cannot be overcome. Your Government has made two mistakes--first, in not availing itself of the fruits o

he Mississippians, Tennesseeans, and Louisianian suffered terribly. All the troops behaved most gallantly. Never did men fight better; and yet many of them were raw troops fresh from their homes. The 21st Alabama regiment took two batteries, and the 1st Louisiana a section of artillery. Other regiments did equally well. The battle was fought around Shiloh Church, the place of worship of the surrounding country, and will be known in history as the Battle of Shiloh. I write in Captain Fulton's tent, Quartermaster of the 53d Ohio regiment, which Gen. Beauregard has kindly assigned to two friends and myself. Captain F. was good enough to leave an ample supply of paper, which I have been using freely. The tent was perforated by twenty-one musket balls. It is now raining very hard. Up to sunset the day was lovely. The change is the result, doubtless, of the heavy cannonading kept up since early morning. The enemy is still throwing shells from his gunboats, and some of

Congress, yesterday. There was no business of importance in the public session of the House of Represents yesterday. Mr. Garther, from the special committee to whom was referred the investigation of the at Roanoke Island, submitted a long hyreport, which was laid on the table and ordered to be printed. A resolution was passed authorizing the payment of the clerk of the committee and witnesses for their attendance. Mr. Conrad, chairman of the Naval Committee, announced that be had some bills which he desired the House to consider in secret session, and the floors were cleared and the doors classed.

Gladden, who commanded the right wing of Hardee's corps, lost his left arm; Gen. Cheatham received a ball in the shoulder, and Gen. Bushrod Johnson one in the side. General Bowen was wounded in the neck, and doing well at last accounts. Colonel Adams, of the 1st.

The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The following named defendants, indicted for issuing notes of a less denomination than $5, severally paid to the Clerk the costs in their cases, when nolle prosequies were entered by the Attorney for the Commonwealth, viz: R. T. Reynolds, two cases; W. P. Perkins, four cases; Francis B. Hart, six cases; George I. Herring, two cases; Wm. G. Dandridge, two cases; John B. Glazebrook, two cases; A. D. Williams, two cases; T. W. Parker, two cases; Lucien Hill, two cases; R. D. Mitchell, two cases; D. Baker, Jr., nine cases; Thos. B. Starke, eleven cases. The consideration of the gaming cases will be resumed this morning. No doubt the Court or Prosecuting Attorney will soon see the propriety of trying or dismissing these petty cases.

and we are on the alert constantly. During the daytime everything is quiet and goes on as usual, but as soon as twilight begins to deepen our watchfulness begins. Our vessel is ready to slip anchor and steam away at an instant's warning. Not a light is to be seen on deck or in the gangways. At the masthead, yardarms, catheads, gangways, and on the paddle-boxes, are stationed sentries, relieved every two hours, peering into the gloom, on the lookout for lights or dark objects. Captain Goldsborough peace the deck, cigar in month, long after midnight. Guns are cast loose forward, and the quarter gunners and primers stand ready to point and fire at any suspicious object which the darkness may reveal. Every night we are called to quarters, whether anything is in sight or not. On the night of the 22d ult., all was still on deck, as I have described, when suddenly, about half an hour after I had turned in, I heard the call to quarters, the anchor slipped, the chain splash
