siguiacant speech BY Cen. nIeCIeIlan.

At the presentation of a sword to General
Mcclellan by the city of Philadelphia, the
General responded as follows;
ask you, Sir, to give my warmest and
deep thanks to the honorable body you rep
resent for this entirely unmerited compliment.
1t is for the future to determine whether l
shall realize the expectations and hopes that
have been conferred upon me. trust and
feel that the LAY is not far distant when L
shall return to the place dearest OF all others
to me, there TO spend the balance OF my life
among the people from whom l have received
this beautiful gift. The war cannot last long
It may be desperate. ask in the future,
forbesrance, patience, and confidence. With
these we can accomplish all and while 1
know that in the great drama which may
have our hearts blood, tn Pennsylvania
will not play the least trust that on the
other hand, she will play the highest and
noblest part.
again thank you, and ask you to convey
to the councils my most sincere thanks for
the sword. Say to thom that it viii be my
ambition to deserve it hereafter. know
do not now.

The Herald says the report of Capt Hun.
ter, of the rebel steamer Curlew, of the en-
gagement between himself and the Federal
batteries at Hatterss, reminds us'Of report
of Capt Hollins, and is equally itrue. He
stated he sighted his rihed gun at the Har-
riet Lane. The Harriet Lane is not any
where near Hstteras, being now flag ship
Of the Potomac hotills.

A persOn who Was present at the time

within four miles Of the batteries, and that
his shot fell short about mile and a-half.

IWashington Correspondence Of N. Y. World.l
Many persons are laboring under the be-
lief, induced by absurd newspaper gossip, that
Col. Harvey Brown, of Fort Pickens, is still
acting under orders from ex-President Buch-
aaan. Col. Brown was given private orders
about the time Of the Sumter affair which al
low him the fullest latitude, except as to the
time Of attack upon tbs enemys position ad-
jaoent. An extended movement on bis part
is doubtless reserved until the naval feet can
strike simultaneously at its destination, and
both fort and feet act in concert. The stories
about Col Browns being obliged 10 see bat
tsries erected under his guns, without mo-
lestiug them, are nonsense. You will prob
ably hear from Fort Pickens soon.

The Boston Traveller says the riding of
Mr., Pratt on rail at Braintree, Mass, re-
Gently, was piece of sport which the rider
enjoyed as heartily as anybody. Mr.. Pratt
with another man, was employed in making
a fence, when two of his neighbors came
along. One is Democrat, the other Bell
Everett man. They spoke to him in reference
to articles that had been published in the pa
pers concerning him, and jokingly said he
could not get out of the difficulty until he
had given three cheers for President Lincoln,
for whom he had expressed little respect.-
He replied that he should do it when rode
upon rail- and not before. His friends said
they would give him ride, if he would give
the cheers to which he agreed He found a
rail and stysddled it, when one of his friends
took hold at each end, while the third man
stood by him to keep him steady As Mr..
Pratt IS rather heavy, the two men couldn't
perform their part of the contract, and Mr..
Pratt volunteered to steady himself while the
third man assisted them. Thus reinforced,
they managed to carry him short distance,
and while riding he gave three cheers for
| Abraham Lincoln.

"One house has purchased and received on
consignment up to the present time upwards
of $50, 600 pounds, and holds over 325, 900
pounds Of old fine wool. Its total stock on
hand is about 100000 pounds, mostly fine

pounds since the first Of August, and sold in

About 200, 600 pounds were bought at from
twenty-six to twenty eight cents, while the
last two hundred thousand has cost forty. six

than the first. Prices now rage on an aver
age absut where they did in July and Au-
gust 1860--the finer grades not being quite
as high, and the coarse much higher. They
are still advancing, and dealers say there is
no telling what point they may reach. A
large proportion Of the demand this year has
been for the manufacture of government
cloths This explains the fact that coarse
has brought at several periods during the

The rebels had three batteries, two guns

opposite The mouth of Gauley, and one Op-

most dangerous. Their firing was sharp

sPRIEoFIELD, Nov. a.
Il would be impo sible to exaggerate the
gloom which pergaded our camps yester-
day and nothing but Gen. FremOnts ur-
gent endesvors prevented 1t from ripeniPg
into general mutiny. His quarters we're
thronged with officers ell day, expressing
their indignation and the inclination TO re-
sign. The Germans were there en- masse,
and talked loudly about resisting foreibly
Hunters assuming the command. AS the
enemy were entrenching themselves upor
Wilson Greek, and nothing was heard Of
Hunter, and in accordance with the. most
earnest entreaties, Fremont finally pIom-
ised Just at dsrK that he would lead the
army TO attack them this morning if Hun
ter did not arrive. .3.e
never saw anything at all approaching
the excitement which this announcement
created. 1t caused immense cheering
around headquarters, which spread in all
directions from camp to camp, and there
was almost uninterrupted cheering, grow
ing more and more remote as the news
reached the camps farther and farther
from the army. For two hours and a-half
q dozen bands were seransding the Cen
eral at once Everybody was preparing to
start at daylight, and the all perVadIng
disappointment was changed into univer-
sal joy, Our army, under that inspiration
would have whipped hundred thousand
men; but at 10 clock Gen. Hunter arrived.
He spent an hour and half with Fremont,
who gave him his plan Of battle. Hunter
assumed command, and Gen. Fremont left
for st. Louis via. Upton, this morning.
If we have a fight before the army re-
covers from its last and cruel disa ppoint-
ment We fear greatly for the result, but
hope for the best
Pope is here with his entire division, and
Hunters's division will be here tonight
when the troops will all be up.
Fremont's staff left with him, except
