ARRIVAL OF GENERAL MCCLELLAN.
REJOICING OF THE TROOPS.
Special Dispatch TO The N. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Friday, July %, 1861
THE ImRTY-EIGmTH N. Y. VOLUNTEER.

The 1HRTY-EIGIITH N. \. VOLUNTEERS.
As will be seen by the return OF che killed,
wounded and missing of the Second Regiment
Scott Life Guards, 3Sth New-York Volunteers,
their loss was at least as large as that Of any
regiment engaged a. Bull Run, in the aggregate
two hundred and one.
The 38th was under fire nearly one half hour
earlier than the Fire Zouayes, and at least an
hour before the 69tb, in praise of whom so much
has Justly been said and written.
Repeatedly repulSeo, the 18th always rallied
three times under severe FIRE. They rescued and
took FROM the enemy Griflin's battery, which was
afserward again lost, and repulSed, with great
slaughter, the Robels N their renewed attempts
to recapture the battery.
Their Colonel, J.. II. Hobart Ward, who served
during the war with Mexico, and was breyeted
for bis good conduct on the field, throughout the
late battle was collected, courageous aud ener-
cetic. Wherever his men faltered there he was

appeared he confronted il.

Notwithstanding his disability, he toOk his place

The hero Of the notable instance of magnani-
nous seii.sacrifce on the part of n Surgeon Of
one Of the city regiments, heretofore mentioned,
who uobly surrendered himself TO tho enemy
rather than desert bis wounded comrades, was
DIR. Stephen Griswod, Assistant Surgeon Of the

THE REBEL LOSSES.
A correspondent of The Baltimore San, writ
ing from Leesburg, estimates the rebel Ices in
Sundays battle al; 2,0G0 in killed and wounded,
says that l,l42 prisoners were taken, among
them the Hon. Alfred Ely of New-York. Forty
two pieces of cannon. $1,000 smal-arms, ahd
over 10 wagons were captured.

that Of arms. 80 or 40 Der cent at least must oe
deducted.

GEN. SCOTT.

We pint in another place an Interesting a''ice
from The Times, indicating Gen. Scott 30 lar
rs he chooses to be yiuG'ca,ea, from completely
in the disaster at Bull Run. On the points pre-
seufed that yiDdicatoD, if any we're needed, Is
complete.
There are some additional considerations that
might be submitted at another time, which would
be utterly out Of place now. Gen. Scott is now
the sbeet-anchor Of the Republic, and everything
that strengthens him strengthens the Nation.
There can be no remaining doubt that he was
right in the premises in choosing to postpone on
advance, and that We WHO differed from hun
were deplOrably wrong. Let every thought OF
dlotrust he bansbed, while We rally arOuAd the
glorious cid Chief aud save the UoiOn.

men. IL "Goyernment will furnish everything"
we infer that quarters anl subsistence arc to
be provided at once. If this excelleDt idea is to
be- practiced, it should be carried into eject by
furnishing quarters, food, and clothing to tue
recruits enlisted as fast tho recruiting officer
can furnish t1em, not waiting even FIR squads
Of twenty or more, but taking them individually
az they are enlisted, the pOy AID subsistence of
the recruit commencing on the day of his enlist
ment Every recruit should be eusted with the
understanding that be cutters the volunteer serv-
ice for the war; and if the regiment IN witch
BIO primarily ehlIsts is not completed within
specified time, he is then liable TO be drafted
into some other regiment. This will meet the
great obstacle to volunteer enlistment, by giving
to the recruits what they most need, sure sub
si.teuce aud pay SO soon as they enter the sery-
ice. By the neglect OF these simple precautions,
thirteen regiments in this city alone, as we are
informed, have been compelled to disband, or
have broken up in despair Of going into service.
In many instances We have heard OF applications
based upon the furnishing of immediate sub
sistepce. and we have no doubt that thousands
Of men have been turned away because they
were required 20 combat necessity, during The
slow process Of mu'tering ipto the service upon
the completion Of the regiment. This is entirely
wrong. Put men who offer aud are accepted by
n conpetcnt, certified colonel into good quarters
at once, give them wholesome food aud good
clothing, and let them enter the school OF the
soldier without delay. Money is rot wanting to
carry out measures for the organization OF the
volunteer army, and we believe that 1t can be
iudiciously and satisfactorily used in placing vol.
untecr enlistment upon an equality with That OF
tho regular army.
