H. Seymour made admirable speeches to an immense must meeting of the Democracy at Hartford, Connecticut.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Jacksonville, Fla., March 28, gives aJacksonville, Fla., March 28, gives a record of Yankee arson and outrage perpetrated in that beautiful State. which excels in enormity any of the devilish deeds which have heretofore reached us. It will be seen that these outrages were perpetrated by the 6th Connecticut and 8th Maine rs will not loose sight of the atrocities perpetrated by them in Florida. The following is the Tribune's account: Jacksonville is in ruins. That beautiful city, which has been for so many years the favorite resort of invalids from the North, haal in verdure, the rose and the jessamine — all that at this season; indeed, I might say through all reasons, has made Jacksonville a little Eden, has been burned and searched and crisped, if not entirely consumed to ashes, by the devouring flames.

McClellan, and the one of the President in reply, are dated immediately previous to the "seven days battle," they are given here in full. Received 8:50 P. M. McClellan's, June 25, 6.15 P. M. I have just returned from the field, and find your dispatch in regard to Jackson. Several contrabands, just in, give information concerning the supposition that Jackson's advance is at or near Hanover Court House, and that Beauregard arrived with strong reinforcements in Richmond yesterday. I incline to think that Jackson will attack my right and rear. The rebel force is stated at 200,000, including Jackson and Beauregard. I shall have to contend against vastly superior odds if these reports be true; but this army will do all in the power of men to hold their position and repulse any at tack. I regret my great inferiority of numbers; but feel that I am in no way responsible for it, as I ha

Our troops charged frequently on both days, and uniformly broke the enemy. The result is, that our left is with in four miles of Richmond. I only wait for the river to fall to cross, with the rest of the force, and make a general attack. Should I find them holding firm in a very strong position, I may wait for what troops I can bring up from Fortress Monroe. But the morals of my troops is now such that I can venture much. I do not fear for odds against me. The victory is complete, and all credit is due to the gallantry of our officers and men." The movement was not made, however. as Gen. McClellan states, because of the high stage of water and the bad roads.

McClellan continued calling for reinforcements, representing that the force of the enemy in his front was superior to his own. and that the force under Gen. McDowell would do more for the protection of Washington, if sent to his army, than in any other position in which it could be placed. In a letter written on the 21st of May. he asks that Gen.

McDowell's corps he sent to him by water rather than by land as the more expeditions mode, and that he and his forces be explicitly placed under his orders, "in the ordinary way.
