WAsHIKoToE, July 81, 1851.
The movements Of Gen. Mcclellan are in
fusipV new life into the soldiers, as ne is
proving bimself to be the right man in the
right place. He has placed chain OF pick
els ON the banks of the Potomac below
Harpers Ferry. He, together with his stan,
work constantly, inspecting the troops and
arranging details. he recommends, among
other things, that as fast as regiments ar
rive, they be assigned places in brigades.-
Twelve regiments are stationed at the Chain
Bridge.
The gentleman with whom Gen. Tyler
stopped when be was at Falls Church, Mr..
Throckmorton-a brOther-in.law of Hon. Q.
Il. Upton-has been subjected to gross
abuse by the rebels. His own brother, ase-
cessiOnist, in company with force of twen-
ty.five cavalry, visited bis farm, destroyed
the eu,buIdiHgs and crops, and ruined and

regiment has arrived frOr1ath New York
He says that a large number of the three
months men viii again enter the service, pro-
vided they viii be led by the right kind Of
officers. This sentiment is widely entertain
ed by retiring troops.
General Mcclellan, contrary to the opiniOt
of General Scott, recommends the bringing
into the field of large force OF cavalry and
artillery, as he thinks these branches of the
armyindispsnsab.e. He also desires that the
officers be EUs men.
To-day the names of the following gen.
tlemen were cent to the Senate to be con-
frmed AZ Brigadier Generals: Col. Heint-
zelman, Col. Porter, Col. Franklin Stone,
Lieut.. Col. Sherman, Joseph Hooper of CAL
ilornia, Capt q. 8. Grant of Illinois, Frede-
rick W. Lander of Virginia, Senator Baker,
Col. Kelley of Virginia, and Hon. John A
McCIernand of Illinois. They take prece-
dence ia the order in which they are named.
The more reliable portion IF the prisoners
who have succeeded in getting away trom
the rebels say that there is no truth in the
stery that BeauregaId is getting ready to
make descent upon the Capital, but that be
VII do hereafter as he has done heretofore,
keep his men behind their batteries and tOrti-
fcations. They think be is not pleased with
the idea of being compelled to meet General
Mcclellan, whom he knows Of old as a
thorough military man. .-.
Everybody is pleased With the orde- issued
BY Mcclellan that officers and men must re-
main in their quarters, as also with bis an
nouncenent that be will hold those in charge
of brigades responsible for the conduct Of
their troops.
The QuSrtermaster's Department has re-
ceived 47Os horses since the lst of last June,
together with sO6 wagons, so mules and 3s6
ambulances. I-
The delegation in Congress from the State
of New York recommend Major Doubleday,
Col. Blenker and Capt. Seymour, of the Fort
Sumter garrison, Colonels Duryea and slo-
cum, Gen. Burnett and Capt Veil, for Brig
adierships.
The mules, horses and wagons being sent
to Washington in such large quantities, are
: : not to replace losses in the battle of Bulls
Run, but are on former contracts.
In a recent speech of the rebel Presi-
dent at Richmond, some extravaganeies Of
expression Inadvertently" crept in. After
eIOrifying hugely over the victory, as be
was pleased to call it and boasting
of the ability of the COnfederates
to clean rs ont upon all occasions, be put
their trophies down at sixty cannon, immense
supplies of ammunition, plenty of arms for
their vast army, years provisions, and sew
eral hundred wagons and smbulances, besides
wagon loads of knapsacks and small arms. I
can't say about what JEFF army captured, but
I do know that the entire loss oftbe Federal
army was twenty odd wagons, less than a
, thousand muskets, seventeen cannon, and q
very small amount Of provisions and ammu-
nition. President Davis would make an ex-
cellent writer of works of fiction. s.
