criptions are to be made forthwith. And here begins the noble record for future history of the Grand Army of the Potomac. The unexpected visit of President Lincoln to this army has had an excellent effect. He was, as before stated, most enthusiastically received, and appeared to be much pleased to find the army in such excellent condition, after the labors which it had undergone. Each division was soon under arms and in line, and was visited and reviewed in turn. The division of General Sykes, which is composed mainly of regulars, not within its severe losses in the recent battles, made a very good appearance. This division has rendered good service of late, and has fought well. At Games's Mills and other recent battles they have fought well. and reflected credit upon themselves and the army. As the President and his party rode slowly along the line, the cheering was most enthusiastic. It evidently gratified and cheered both officers and men to witness this evidence of a

f the 11th, is received through the kindness of a friend. It has voluminous correspondence from the "Grand Army," but the letters are so much like all those it has published that we will only make extracts from them. From Harrison's Landing, on the 7th, it is stated that "ship loads of supplies come to the wharf, and fresh beef is plentiful." The writer adds, that after a few days rest "the boys are ready to meet a foe at a moment's notice whom they have tested and learned not to fear." Gen. Griffin, who managed the artillery at Malvern's Hill, thinks he can whip the Confederates "every pop." It was feared that the Confederates would establish batteries on the south side of James river, and annoy them in transporting supplies. Another, dated the 9th, gives an account of Old Abe's visit to the Grand army. Our division, like the other divisions of the Potomac army, had an opportunity last evening to show their power of jubilant expression and utterance to their fullest extent

. On taking the question on the section giving freedom to the mother, wife, and children of negroes so employed by the Government, there was no quorum, and the Senate adjourned. A Federal Disaster. The New York Herald, of the 11th, says: Dispatches from Nashville, dated the 9th inst., report that four companies of the 9th Pennsylvania cavalry were surprised and cut up at daybreak on that morning at Tompkinsville, by a party of one thousand five hundred rebel cavalry, under Col. Stearns, who immediately pushed on with his command in the direction of Bowling Green. It was rumored that Col. Williams and Majors Browne and Jordan, on our side, were killed, but some doubts were entertained as to the fate of the former officer. From Fort Monroe. Fortress Monroe, July 8, P.

ed that Secretary Stanton was guilty of this crime, and lie (Mr. Chandler) simply called for the evidence in the case. It is plain to every man in the land that when the army was sent off to the Peninsula there should have been a force sufficient retained to defend the capital. He (Chandler) had the evidence of nine Major Generals, taken before the Committee on the Conduct of the War, in which they said it was absolutely necessary to retain a force here for the defence of Washington. Gen. Richardson, in his sworn statement, said it would require 40,000 men and a corps of 60,000 men to stop the movements of the enemy above or below the city. General Franklin thought that from 35,000 to 50,000 men would be necessary, and the others said that from 50,000 to 75,000 must be left here for the proper defence of the place. When General McClellan went to Fortress Monroe it was found that he had not left a solitary regiment here except the Nineteenth, and that he had not left a solitar

disembarked, and, upon reaching the landing, they mounted and proceeded to the headquarters of Gen. McClellan, and thence without much delay to review the whole army. Many of the men were at work in the ditches, and among the latter were one or two ex-Congressmen. All were cheerful and sanguine of early and final success. The President returned this evening from his visit to the army of Gen. McClellan. He was accompanied by Assistant Secretary of War Watson, Gen. Negley, and Col. F. P. Blair, Jr. During the several days spent in the Army of the Potomac the President had an opportunity to see for himself its condition and capacity. On Tuesday he reviewed the whole army, passing along the front in sight of the rebel pickets. Everywhere he was received with deafening cheers. At one point of the line he could not refrain from dismounting from his horse, and mounting a parapet in plain view of the enemy, and making a brief speech to the soldiers of the Union. The President

It was after nine o'clock when the President and party reached our lines. Each successive booming of salutes made known his progress, and, although our men had been kept waiting two hours, the impatience to see the President only increased with the lapse of time. Some were disappointed at only being able to get a glimpse of him by moonlight. His tall figure, like Saul of old, pointed out our chief, and his long stovepipe hat, unmilitary dress, and position at the head of the reviewing column by the side of Gen. McClellan, left no doubt as to the man. As he passed each regiment he was most enthusiastically cheered, as was also Gen. McClellan. The effect of the visit will be splendid. It shows the interest in the army of President Lincoln, and is an earnest of fulfillment of his promise to furnish every required aid of men and money to enable this army

plans for taking Richmond. It was understood there were three plans. One was that of General Rosecranz, to go by the valley of the Shenandoah to Richmond, and he (Mr. Wilson) believed that the Secretary of War approved of this plan. Another plan was to go down to Richmond by way of the Rappahannock. The third plan was to go to Richmond by way of the Peninania, which was the plan of General McClellan. The resolution of Mr. Chandler was then passed, by yeas 39, nays 6. Nays--Messrs. Anthony, Foster, Lane of Kansas, McDougall, Saulsbury, and Wright. The bill relative to calling out the militia, with the amendments authorizing the arming of the blacks, their employment on entrenchments, &c., and freeing the wife, mother, and children of negroes so employed, was then called up. A motion to postpone indefinitely was disagreed to by a vote of nine against twenty seven. An amendment that loyal persons shall be compensated for loss of service of slaves taken under the

Mr. Wilson, of Mass, said the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Davis) had made some statements which ought not to go to the country. He (Mr. Wilsn) said, without hesitation or qualification, that the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Davis) was utterly mistaken. He (Mr. Wilson) did not believe that the Secretary of

General Franklin thought that from 35,000 to 50,000 men would be necessary, and the others said that from 50,000 to 75,000 must be left here for the proper defence of the place. When General McClellan went to Fortress Monroe it was found that he had not left a solitary regiment here except the Nineteenth, and that he had not left a solitary gun on wheels for the defence of the capital. Had this gone on, the enemy would have taken the capital before the month of April; but the President interposed and stopped it, and kept a corps for the defence of the capital. Was it not proper that these facts should go to the country? Was it not right that the people should know what the facts really are? The President and Secretary Stanton sent every solitary man, every musket, every sabre, and every bayonet to the army of the Peninsula that could possibly be spared from the defence of the capital. Nothing was refused to that army that could by any possibility be
