On Wednesday afternoon. I'D, before our

in considerable force, and drow up in line of

were at once paced in position 10 receive an at

For two hours the operations Of the enemy, who

from one point to another. with corresponding
movements on the part Of our troups, 80 rs to
be prepared for an attack, indicated that there
was going to be general engagement. Gene

PAY OP SoLDIERs.-By late act of Con-
grese, the pay of non-eommissoned officers
and privates is increased four dollars a
month. The privates formerly received
eleven dollars month they will now re-
ceive fifteen. A bounty of thirty dollars
each is offered to such of the three months
volunteers as re-enlist forty dollars if they
re-enIist by companies, and fifty if they re-
enlist by regiments. The time expended in
drilling raw recruits will doubtless cost
more than the bounty offered those who re-
enlist.

ENGLISH SENTIMENT-Th New York Post
of August 14tb, publishes an extract from a
letter written from England by South
Carolinian, and whose sympatbies are with
his State. 1t gives the results of an intel
igent mans observations, who has for some
months used very excellent opportunities
for ascertalning the sentiments of various
classes of Englishmen in regard to Ameri-
can affairs. The letter was written to a
gentleman of New York city, and the wri-
ter sums up bis observations as follows.
have tried with some care to learn what
public opinion is in England, and should say
about as follows: The larger part of the Eng
lish nation sympathize with the North. The
aristocratic part of the manufacturing capital
lists as well as importers lean towards the South
as to their natural interests. AS to England in
any way practically interfering, that is out oil
the question. They would rather feed the la
boring classes for few years out of public
special fund, than to go to war with the United
States; and it would not weigh half as heavy
upon the nation, nor make very much difference
in the tax-bill. OF such men as understand the
matter and WELD influence in public, this is the
prevailing sentiment.
