ctory, or unite in thanksgiving for the same. the question was discussed all day on Tuesday, and on Wednesday it was again taken up. Dr. Plumer himself was present, and defended his position in a powerful address. He was replied to by Drs. McLaren, Dale, and others, some of whom were very severe upon him for his want of sympathy with the Union cause. Dr. McLaren, particularly, handled him with great severity. He said the real sentiments of Dr. P. Were slowly and reluctantly developed inDr. McLaren, particularly, handled him with great severity. He said the real sentiments of Dr. P. Were slowly and reluctantly developed in the correspondence with the memorialists. He defended the great majority of the clergy who do pray for the success of our arms, and dwelt forcibly on the righteousness of the present war. He again dwelt on the subject of "preaching polities," as that thing is generally spoken of, among a certain class of politicians, with withering sarcasm. He said it should not take two minutes for a man to define his loyalty or patriotism, if he has any. after a lengthy discussion the Presbytery adopted th

e thickest. This morning they do not muster 3,000 men. Add to these 1,000 who are stragglers and will yet come in, and the number is less than half that they began with at Beaver Dam. They lost severely there, they were more than decimated the next day at Guines's Mills, and yesterday they shrank to this small measure. Their leader, General McCall, is severely wounded and in the enemy's hands. Our brigade Commander, General J. J. Reynolds, is a prisoner at Richmond; another General, George G. Meade, lies in a tent near us, seriously wounded. Officers of low grade they have lost in about the same proportion. Of the Bucktail regiment not a hundred respond to the roll-call. And so with other divisions. For the losses of the last six days cannot be less than 15,000. It is only hoped that they will not reach 20,000. Appearance of M'Clellan and his army after the defeat.

fort was made to divide the army and penetrate to the hill over a rising sweep of ground, extending down in a less sloping manner and affording a better progress to troops advancing up the hill. But they sadly mistook this point of attack. General Meagher, wounded though he was, was there with his brigade. As the battle grew warm, General Griffin, until recently in command of Griffin's Battery, who had, during the idleness of the infantry, again taken his accustomed place, directing one esh troops, and the courage of the whole army was at its best. The line of the enemy's attack was concentrating, and Gen. Porter rode in front of the army, ordering the two wings of Morrell and Sykes and Couch to concentrate, and withdrawing Meagher placed him in a position on the left to flank the approaching columns, with orders to charge at advantageous opportunities, and giving the same orders to Butterfield's brigade, of Morrell's division, and Col. Warren, of Gen. Sykes's, and to Gene

the day was comparatively cool. Still the dust and smoke partially concealed the dreadful carnage. The enemy's guns were by no means without their effect upon our side, and the dead and wounded were literally covering the field, while as the enemy advanced nearer and nearer, the old dwelling turned into a hospital was immediately under fire; still the surgeons and nurses never flinched, and the stretchers and ambulances came in with their loads of wounded. As the enemy approached, Gen. Morell's division met them, received their distant fire, and, advancing, poured in volley after volley while the several pieces of artillery directed to this point threw canister and grape, and, as it were, mowed them down by battalions. The enemy could not bear it, and our troops fought against a second relief of fresh troops in several instances, and then charging, drove them from the field. Another column came up in front of Gen. Sykes, when the regulars met them in a most admirable and det

Warren, of Gen. Sykes's, and to General Abercrombie, in Gen. Couch's. At this moment Gen. Sickles's brigade came up, proffered by Gen. Heintzelman, and was received by Gen. Porter, and conducted to a point a little neglected. The engagement now became a scene of madness — a force of thirty thousand contending against fully three times their own number, plunging in with rapid charges and deafening shouts, and successfully driving them from the field.

Ohio.--Cincinnati, July 8. --The new Ohio regiments will commence recruiting immediately, and camps are being established in different parts of the State for their reception. Recruiting has materially improved within the last few days, and over 500 privates on furlough have reported at Camp Chase. More are reporting every day. Indiana--Indianapolis, July 8.--Governor Morton's call for eleven additional regiments and six batteries of artillery, although only published yesterday morning, has been responded to in the most hearty and confident manner. From over thirty counties, military organizations have responded to the call. From Fortress Monroe. Fortress Monroe, July 8. --A flag of truce returned to-day from a cruise up the York river. At Cumberland were found 90 of our wounded soldiers. They were brought a mile away, when the rebels compel

, but seeing that the services of his brigade were needed, returned to his command, and at his first advance was met by ten regiments of rebels. On the right the rebels were later in their approach; but when they advanced, it was with a desperate attempt to turn the flank. Gen. Couch's division had seen less service, perhaps, than any other, and was fully prepared to receive them, and the men were impatient to get into action. They were gallantly led by Gens. Howe, Abercrombie, and Palmer, and held their own without a moment's flinching, until, when the day seemed to waver, they gave a new impetus to the fight, which seemed to extend along the whole line in a contest which lasted over an hour, when he drove the enemy from the field, his men climbing over the piles of dead as they advanced in the charge. His horse was shot under him during the engagement. It was now approaching night, and the fortunes of the day had only wavered momentarily at times towards the rebels, and t

The following letter, dated Newbern, N. C., July 2d, is published in the Philadelphia Press: Burnside's entire corps d'armee is in motion, bound inland somewhere. Your readers will be surprised to hear that three divisions are now in motion from this place, and more to come. You will hear good news from Burnside, Parke, Foster, and Reno very soon. The troops are overjoyed to think that they are about to follow our gallant Burnside into a victorious field once more. Gen. Marcy's estimate of M'Clellan's loss in the recent battles.[correspondence of the New York Tribune.] I understand that Gen. Marcy, Chief of McClellan's staff, estimates the entire loss of McClellan's army at $30,000. A Federal wagon train was attacked by a small hand of Confederate guerrillas, near Flint Hill, Va, on Monday.

It is only hoped that they will not reach 20,000. Appearance of M'Clellan and his army after the defeat. The correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Harrison's Landing, on the 4th inst., describes General McClellan as coming on board the main boat greatly perturbed. "General McClellan," we are told, "met General Patterson as he stepped on board, laid his hand on his shoulder and took him in a hurried manner into the aft cabin or ladies' saloon. As he went in he beat the air with his right hand clenched, from which all present inferred there was bad news." To the astonishment of the writer it was subsequently explained "that the whole army of the Potomac my stretched along the banks of the river where we lay, having fought their way all through from Fair Oaks, a distance of thirty miles.--General McClel
