FLAGS OF TRUCE-A CLEAR CAsE-Whenever
the rebels about Norfolk discover q federal mill
tary movement of any interest near Fortress
Monroe, they send over a flag Of truce upon
some prctence or other, so as to pick up little
useful information. For instance, the fleet Of
United States transports which left here on Sun
day last arrived at Hampton Roads on Monday
afternoon, and straightway flag Of truce came
up from Norfolk but General Wool, up to the
trick, sent it back again. We dare say, how
ever, that the appearance of our squadron has
set the rebels to work night and day, for fifty
miles around Norfolk, and in day or two hence
we suspect the sensation among them will be
somewhat increased, and without resorting to a
fac Of truce

The CRY OF COWARD TO RICHMOND" RE-
semi-religious contemporary has suddenly dis
covered that General Mcclellan is too slow;
that the people want battle; that they
are getting impatient at his delay in march
ing forward upon the enemy; that the defeat or
forced retreat of Beauregard would be produc-
tive Of very great results, and that now is the
time to strike, and so on, very much in the
strain Of Field Marshal Greeley for month
before the battle of Bull run.
1t may be that our army contractors, hit or
MISS are anxious for new schedule Of heavy
jobs, and that the public opinion manufactured
by these impatient patriots is finding expression
through some Of our public journals; bntwe are
quite sure that there is no abatement Of the pub
lie confidence in the wisdom, discretion or energy
Of General Mcclellan. There may be some
misgivings that he is held in restraint by con-
Gicting counsels in the War Office; but no doubts
are entertained as to the capability and readi-
ness of Mcclellan to open the ball at any
moment
We apprehend, however, that he is awaiting
the signal Of a naval diversion somewhere along
the Southern coast, SO that, in assaling the rebel
army in front, its Generalization, distraction and
dispersion will be complete. Meantime it must
be remembered that, called to Washington upon
the heels Of our Bull run disaster, General Nc
Clcllan's first duty, with his insufficient and
disorganized forces, was to fortfy our capital
against the threatened assault Of the enemy
and that, in conjunction with this Ill important
duty, he was required to reorganize, reinforce,
equip and distribute his army upon scale
equal to the grandest active army of any of the
great military Powers of Europe since the time
of the first Napoleon.
All this work General Mcclellan has accom-
plished. He has, within less than three months,
brought order out of chaos, discipline and eff
cheney out of characterization and mutiny; he
has built up Gordon of thirty-two Notifications
for the defence of Washington, extending in
great semicirclc from river to river, and along
the Virginia bank of the Potomac for twenty
miles, and has at the same time in the most adj
mirable manner, attended to the distribution,
the supplies and the instruction of the new
troops constantly pouring in upon him. In a
word, we dare say that for the last three months
Mcclellan, by all odds, has been the most in
dus.rious man in the Union, and that of all men
he has the greatest results to show for his la
bors.
Let justice be done. Let us be reasonable in
orr demands upon this diligent and industrious
officer, upon whose shoulders are thrown the
grandest duties, responsibilities and conse-
quences of this war. Let us assume that he I'M
derstands his position, his means, his time and
his opportunity better than any other man, and
we shall doubtless be acting wisely.

for complaint the Investigating Com
mittee will discern it, and they, it is to be
hoped, will have sense enough to keep the
fact to themselves and the Administration,

much authority would a Captain have over his

The outrageous lying Of the rebels, many
IS have been the occasions on which it has
been brought into operations has never
appeared in greater force than in the reports
Of the fights at Santa Rosa Island and at
the head of the Mississippi passes. There
was q reason for this. The places were 90
far away from the Capitol and the North,
that Il must OF necessity be weeks before any
full report fsom our own side would reach
Us. The rebel report therefore would have
long start Of US, and might circulate among
their troops and inspire them with fresh hope
and enthusiasm for their side. Then again,
just at this time, when Messrs. Mason ana
SIiden are supposed to be on their way to
England and France, it was policy 70 have
reports Of two such victories reach those
countries, to influence the reception of those
plenipOtentiaries. Hence their papers have
been filed with spurious reports from eye
Witnesses and official reports from lying
ofieisls, until we really began to believe that
our army had suffered serious disaster at the
hands Of the rebels. But may common sense
desert US entirely, if we ever again pin our
faith to a rebel story of an engagement
The true report Of these two fights is brought
us By the o. S. steamer Mcclellan, which
has been at both the points named since the
engagements. In the Santa Rosa 6ght our
forces were surprised, it is true owing, it is
said, to the inefieiency of Wilson's Zouaves;
bat We gave the rebels much more than they
sent Where they burned our tents, we shat
tered their boats. While they killed ten
volunteers and four regulars, our men
killed and wounded t0o hundred and t5tty
of them. They drove Wilson's Zouaves to-
ward the Fort but were in turn driven to
their boats and and there subjected to a tnur-
derOus fire from our forces, by which their
loss was frightful. They burned some tents
and quarters, but not half enough to compen-
safe them for the schooner Judith, which our
boys burned for them few days ago. On
the whole, the fight resulted m3st sue
cessfuIly for our side.
But the reported ''great naval victory" on
the Mississippi was the greatest humbug.-
Our feet consisted of six vessels, including
the store ship. The rebels came down upon
them with whole feet of FIRE ships, ex-
tending from shore to shore. In dropping
down to escape these incendiaries, several of
our vessels got ashore, but got off again
without damage. Only one Of the enemy's
shots struck our vessels notwithstanding
Rollins report that he "pepperea them well"
Their iron ram, 50 far from sinking either
the Preble or Yincennes, merely struck the
Richmond without seriously damaging her,
and when the whole affair was over, it was
found that not one man was killed or injur-
ed upon all our little feet
Great are the lies of the Rebels.

shootInr Of n Rebel Colonel.

Peter Starrett, of the Ohio 26th, writes to
the Mansfield Herald the following account
Of the killing of a rebel Colonel BY two Rich
land county boys, uesr Camp SewelI, Va:
After finished writing yesterday, the
pickets came in and gave me the report of the
death of Col Spaulding, s. c. A Wesley
France, of 0livesburg, and A. Oosmer, OF
franklin township, were the o-teF pickets.
The Col. must have got out of lis place, for
he rode up on gallop, and when within ten
rods from the boys, he came to walk.
Watching the rosi closely, when he came
opposite France and COsmer, he halted, turn
ing his horse towards them, pointed his pistol
at them, asked them if they were eff Davis
men7 France answered, ''Eo." The COL

France and Cosmer fred also, the balls taken
effect in his breast His horss started back
and he tumbled of, his foot sticking fast in
the stirrup, by which his body was dragged
inside the enemy's pickets. The boys secur-
ed his letters, pistols, and a miniature of his
wifs.-The papers proved him to be Col.
Spaulding of the rebel army. We learn to-
day that his body was sent to White Sulphur
Springs for burial
