THE SUN.
:LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1862.

We have now accounts of the six or seven days
battle and retreat, from the pens of eye-witnesses.
They are, however, Northern witnesses, and the
reader must pick his way throughout them with
the remembrance that an editor had just been sent
to prison for publishing something not acceptable
at the War-office, although it was distinctly fa-
vourable to the North. We have also telegrams
by the Jura (Quebec), which reached her at Father
Point, and bring up the news from New York to
Saturday, the sth, and from M'CLELLAN himself
to the Friday previous, the 4th.
A careful examination of these accounts leaves
it still doubtful whether M'CLELLAN had intended
to change his line of attack, and make the James
River, which flows through Richmond as the
Thames does through London, the base of his ope-
rations. If he did, cne thing we think is certain,
that the Confederates became aware of his inten-
tion, and determined to inflict upon him all the
loss and damage they could while he was moving
his right to the back of bis left, placing his whole
array on the St. James River. Assuming that
M'CLELLAN had planned this movement, one can
bat be struck with the difference of the three great
retreating movements made by the Confederates.
At Manaseas, at Corinth, at Yorktown, the Confe-
derates quitted without the Federals having the
least idea of what was going on. They felt their
way cautiously to the unusually silent camps of
the
enemy, and found that they were gone. These,
therefore, were masterly retreats. APCLELLAN was
anticipated
at least—and it is now confessed
that 25 guns were taken by the Confederates at
the first onset, though in the same breath it is
denied that the "Federal forces were beaten in any
conflict, or that they
could be driven from the
field by the Confederates.

The fullest account of what took place from
Wednesday, the 25th of June, to Sunday, the 29th,
is furnished by the gentleman who

Wednesday, the 25th, there had been a visible
check in the landing of stores of all kinds from the
York River, at White House ; and it is said that
preparations, with the object of evacuation, had
begun on the Tuesday. All the latter part of Wed-
nesday, however, the movements about the great
depot of White House were such as to fill the civi-
lians with fear. Wounded men were brought up
by the Richmond and West Point Railway from
the front, the statement being that they had been
wounded in capturing a hill which commanded
Richmond. This was said to be a feint by Wan-
LAN to conceal his purpose of retreating. Mean-
the stores were all brought from different
where they had been placed for the army's
lance, to White House, and all that could be,
~ced cn board the ships, those which could
