a Forward SIovement-NIoycm
OF Gen. 2IcClellRn-The Camps OF
InapsctiOn-TroOps
WASHINGTON, August 8,
A FORWARD MOVEMENT.

Mysterious intimations have been given
out, from time to time, TO the effect that
the "Inll" which now prevails will not be
of long duration; that an important move
ment will soon be made; that it will not
be so long as has been supposed before the
"onward to Richmond" movement is re-
sumed, &c, &C., all accompanied by onin-
Gus mods and winks. This is all nonsense.
The country ought to be assured at once
that it will take time to perfect the arr
Engagements for offensive operations; that
all is going on well here; that there are
as many troops here as the Government
desires to have; that they are organized
into brigades and are being drilled as such /;
but that no "onward to Richmond" move
meut will be made until Gen. Scott and
Gen. Mcclellan see that the time has come
to make such movement with effect.
That day is not yet here. There are prob
ably only two men in Washington who
know when that day will arrive.

MOVEMENTS OF GENERAL MCCLELLAN.

A person who compares the present quiet
of the city to the hustle that prevailed be-
fore the recent battle, would be apt to
imagine that nothing is going on. Then,
nothing was seen or heard but the inces-
SAINT marching of regiments through the
streets, and the rumbting of heavy artillery
and baggage wagons over the pavement.
NoU, the sight of regiment on the avenue
is rarity, and very little is seen within the
city limits of the pride and pomp of war.
But this is only the outward appearance.
The explanation of tho apparent quiet is,
that General Mcclellan, the head of the
army, has way of his own in managing
matters, and it is not one in which noise
aud display predominates. There could
not be greater mistake than to imagine
that nothing is going on here.
General Mcclellan has removed the
struggling soldiers from the streets, and
rendered them as quiet as in ordinary.
times. He has disposed the numerous re-
giments that have arrived here since the
battle on both sides of the Potomac, near
Washington, aud in such positions as are
best calculated both for the defence of the
city and for their own Improvement in mill
itary knowledge. The spirit of the agree
ment between General Mcclellan and the
press preclndes any detail of these dispo-
sitiOns. 1t is enough to say they are such
as to render hopeless any design on the
part of the rebels to attack Washington.
The various regiments are grouped to-
gether in brigades, and now that the Brig
adler Generals are appointed, the brigades
and divisions will be organized and drilled
in brigade movements. Over all move
ments Of the army, and over the condition
of affairs in every part OF the country
around Washington, General Mcclellan ex-
ercises incessant and slepeless vigilance
The system which he has inaugurated of
obtainihg instant intelligence of all army
movements, and of instantly transmitting
his orders to the EXTREMIST outposts, ena-
bles him to control the immense army
now assembled here with the greatest
possible ease. II he wishes a regiment or
brigade to move its position, tho order
for that purpose is issued by telegraph,
and 80 aid-de-camp starts OF at once to
see that there is no mistake. By the time
that the latter arrives, however, lie finds
that the movement has been already exc
cuted, and he has nothing to do but return
to headquarters and report. If ten regi-
ments, or a battery OF artillery arrive, they
report at headquarters. IN al Incredibly
short time they are escorted 10 suitable
camping gronnd, and the indefaiEable ex-
eTtions Of Mr.. Sandeson has provided them
with every necessary comfort.
The head and source OF all these move
ments, Gen. Mcclellan, preserves the most
! hapoleon-like reserve 10 AL he says ra-

those cases in which the defendant should
have been convicted Of murder 10 the first
dogyee or else acquitted. If Myers is re-
sponsible for bis acts, the killing of Bran
was coId-blooded murder. We were not
present when the sentence was pronounced
this morning, and are not aware OF the
reasons which induced the Judge TO inhlct

state that the rebels secured quarter of q

Dispatches of a later date, however, state
that all the specie In the banks was taken
across the river before the rebels surrounded

hands. It is not probable that there was

Condition of New Orleans.

The New York Herald has seen one Ly-
man Reynolds, Union man, who lately
arrived from New Orleans, which place he
left Sept. 18th:
Mr.. Reynolds says that the din of arms
browns all other sounds in New Orleans. The
streets are filled with soldiers, and recruiting
placards and tents everywhere meet the eve.
The people are as enthusiastic Gf not more SOL
in their cause than we are, and are certain that
the conflict will ultimately result in a triumph
for Southern arms. After the battle of Bull
Run large accessions poured into the regular
army. At the time Mr.. Reynolds left New
Orleans there was about IL, 900 men in the city.
They were all clothed, but very poorly armed.
Every person in the city belonged to some mil
itary organization, and recruits were received
from the ages Of fourteen to sixty-fve.
Strong intrenchments are being erected all
around the city, and on the road from New Or
leans to Memphis sixteen cannon of heavy cali
bre are placed at various points. On Shin Is
land, between Mobile and New Orleans, there
are 5000 men, and the place itself is strongly
fortified. Every point of the city is mounted
with cannon. and the rebels pride themselves
on the impregnability of their position. Busi-
ness of all kinds, beyond that necessary to sus-
sdlh hle ltselI, is entlrely suspended. After the
battle of Bull Run the Union men lost all hope
OF the success Of the Federal arms. and are
now detected. The proclamation of Jeff Davis.

Those who have the means to 60 are leaving,
while those who have not can but remain, and
are forced by press of circumstances to enter
the rebel army. No drafting has as yet taken
place, but when Mr.. Reynolds left the city ru-
mors were current that this mode Of proyiding

There are five or six foundries in New Orleans
which are kept constantly employed, and are
able to turn out about six heavy cannon ner
week. Small arms are very scarce, and il Is
almost impossible to provide muskets for drill
ing the soldiers. The new Custom House is
being used for the manufacture of arms.

PRIvATEERMG.-A late Eastern dispatch
etates that the Confederate privateers have
captured 10 all sixty-nine vessels, the value
of which, exclusive Of cargoes, is not far
short of $500 600. The most of these
vessels were captured soon after the priva.
teers were set aaoat. But few captures
have been reported during the past few
months. There must be some eight or ten
thousand vessels owned in the North, con-
stantly afoat upon the ocean, and during
The first six months of privateerlng, when
they were more liable to be caught Off their
guard, the proportion captured will not ex-
Ceed one 10 thousand. 1t is pretty evil
dent that the commerce of the country will
not be seriously interrupted by the pirates
Of the Gulf States.
