Army of the Potomac.

Since the restrictions placed upon the cir
culation of news, by Gen. Mcclellan, but little
is known of the strength or future designs of
the army now encamped along the banks OF
the Potomac. Its strength is variously esti-
mated at from 100000 to 100000 men, who
are said to be well disciplined and eager to
meet the enemy. Gen. Mcclellan has great
confidence in their efficiency and ability to per
form any duty that may be assigned them, if
we may Judge from neat lite speech deliver
ed to the soldiers while visiting their encamp-
ment on the Virginia side of the Potomac. 1t
is as follows:
Solders-We have had our last retreat
We have seen our last defeat You stand by
me, and | will stand by you, and henceforth
victory will crown our efforts.
The firing upon the enemy's pickets has been
interdicted, as contrary to the rules of civilized
warfare.
The only skirmish of note that has occurred
recently, happened under the immediate super
vision of Gen. Mcclellan, on the 10Th of Sep
tember, and is thus described in the last Pony
dispatches
Correspondence of the New York Herald
says Gen. Mcclellan and several of his staff
this afternoon, went to examine our earth
works, garrisoned by portion of Gen. Frank
Inns command. While viewing the enemy's
position, Gen. Mcclellan discovered 500 or
GOO Of the enemy approaching, about two
miles distant. He Immediately ordered seve-
raj rihed cannon placed in position, and sent
his compliments to the rebels in the shape of
20-pounder shell that exploded in their midst,
producing the widest confusion. The whole
force were seen to scatter and fly, and there is
no doubt large number were killed. The
enemy did not return the fire.
Gen. Mcclellan, after disposing Of this ad
vancng force of rebels, directed his attention
to a new battery recently thrown up by the
enemy a short distance south Of Munson's Hill
known as Mason's HILL He threw several
shot and shell in their works, causing some of
the hands to knock off. They were evidently
surprised by this sudden opening of our bat
teries on theirs as they disappeared and did
not return the fire. Gen. Mcclellan returned
to the city about nine o'clock at night.

of Fremont to reinforce the Union troops, the

1t is idle to censure after the fatal error has

People whose conseiences are visited by no

THE END JUsTIFGEs THE MEANS. = The
Oregon Statesman sterling Union Journal
observes thus succinctly:
Certain secession newspapers have been
suppressed by force or by the refusal to carry
them in the mails, yet they were probably
nay, ccrtainly-an aid to the rebels, and the
great mass of men can better live without
secession newspapers than without government
and laws. The writ of habeas corpus has been
disregarded where it was manifestly dangerous
to trust the glorious uncertainty OF the law
and absolutely safe to rely on dungeon walls.
1t is better that few secessionists 1--WE think
no Union man has been immured) should be
for time deprived of liberty without course
of law, than that the course of law itself should
be arrested forever.

New BooKs.-We are just in receipt of the
following New Books from H. II. BANCROFT
& Co., of San Francisco, the most extensive
dealers and importers on the Pacific coast:
The Uprising Of Great Peoplc,-by a
French nobleman and author of merit and re-
putation, Is production, from an impartial
source, upon the present American crisis,
which the author seems TO attribute TO the
decentralization of the Democracy by the huge
monster Slavery" To his view, upon his
thesis, this may be correct, but to US, who
know that the leaders Of the rebellion are only
using slavery as a handle to the lash of damna-
BILE ambition for political place and power at
the chance for loss Of the most benefcent Gov
ernment on earth, his theory fails the end, and
his leading proposition vanishes before the
truth. But the work is one of merit and phil
anthropy and is written by scholar 1t is
well worthy of reading, and, undoubtedly, is a
leading book Of the times.
Sdnlsoa and Delaah; or, Tie Triumph of
the Giant Judge oUer Dagon,-by the Rev.
DR.. Bien, Of San Francisco, is a California
production it was made here and pat upon
the stage some time ago, in the original text ;
it has since been translated, and, although
small book, it is full of the highest order Of
religious fervOr, put into so interesting shape
that 1t is pleasure to read it, and, as speci-
men Of California literature, it can be given to
the world without fear of death from criticism
Philip 1hamer-a novel, from the pen Of
John Irving, is peculiarly Californian for its
most and only interesting part of the plot and
facts; they are laid here in the early days of
our young State, and are well put forth. To
Californians, it is an interesting ard readable
book. Get it.
