By the intelligence from America, down to
June 18th, we learn that the Confederates at
Richmond had made another bold dash on
M'Clellan's right flank with artillery and cavalry,
and, although few particulars are given, it is
evident the Federals had suffered considerably
from the sortie. The assailants destroyed the
telegraphic communication, injured the rail-
road in M'Clellan's rear from West Point,
destroyed forage and tents, took many prisoners.
and retired in safety. The intelligence,as
reaches us through Northern sources, and we
may therefore ho certain that it is not too
favourable for the Confederates. Perhaps if
the whole truth bad been told we should have
learned that the Southern army had given
battle and a sound beating to that portion of the
Federals whom they attacked. ld'Clellan now
I ands himself unable to march upon Richmond.
His large army has been reduced by losses in
killed, wounded, and priaeners. and—far more
than by, these—,--by fever, fie therefore declares
his inability to resume the offensive till his
forces have been largely augmented. The
Government have complied, so far as they have
been able, and it is said the full complement
required will be forthcoming, but not yet. Jo
the meantime Southern Guerilla hands are
"hovering around M'Clellan's rear." In the
valley of the Sbennadoah it now appears that the
tonfederetes, after a most fierce contest,
,are
gbilnthe advantage. After Geaeral Banks's
aolls'nus lvtd_beina weakinisl. General "Jackson,
of the Southern army, who has shown himself a
leader of extraordinary ability, pounced upoti
him, and drove him in confusion completely out
of Virginia. The whole of the available reserve
of the Federals were then cut in motion, and
General Fremont, who conducted a march with
great tact and judgment, seemed about to
capture General Jackson, when the latter made
a masterly retreat, caught General Fremont in
a trap, inflicting on him great loss, and recrossed
the mountain to reinforce the Confederates at
Richmond. It is now confessed that Fremont's
army is short of suppliesouid in a very d ,ngerous
position, while the Confederate General has
again assumed the offensive to endeavour to
inflict on him the defeat he inflicted en General
Banks. A portion of the missing Confederate
army, 68,000 strong, which slipped away from
General Halleck, has turned up at Grenada. on
the Mississippi, about 100 miles Smith-west of
Corinth, while another portion is at Columbus,
about the same distance due South of Corinth.
It is said that Beaureitarcrs army now numbers
from 80,000 to 90.000—a force which, perhaps,
is quite sufficient during the summer months to
hold General Halleck in check, if not to inflict
on him serious mischief.. ~,At another place of
considerable importance 'tin the Mississippi—
Baton Rouge—a short distance above New
Orleans, it appears there i 1 also a Confederate
army, as we are told there has been some severe
fighting there, the result of which was " not
known." Fighting had _elect taken place at
James Island, Charleston, but no particulars are
given—a fact which implies that the Fedora's
had nothing favourable to report. As regards
non-military events, affairs iu New Orleans are
represented as being unaltered, which means
that no Union feeling had yet manifested itself
among the inhabitants there. All the munlcipil
po:ice duties are still performed by military
appointees. The Bill prohibiting slavery in the
United States, in anticipation of which the
Southeni States some twenty years ago seceded,
has passed the Union Parliament. This
