The Americans in London celebrated the
Fourth by breakfast at the Royal Coronado
hotel The company numbered over 200,
and Rev DIR Patton Of New York presided.
Rev DR. McClintock of New York made the
principal speech, and addresses were made by
Rev MIR Eddy of Boston and Others. The
best feeling pervaded the meeting, although
many of the old American residents in Lon
don declined to attend, being more or less
infected with doubts as to the permanency of
the United States. The ministers and con-
suls under the recent administration left
great deal of this sort of political intideity in
their wake. The London Star, in comment

FORTRESS MONROE Julv %

IOnlhESo MONhOE, July -.
Mr. Whitney, Quartermaster Sergeant of
the Vermont regiment Was shot this morning
by the rebels at Newport News, only short
distance from the camp, while searching for
stray bullocks. The body was pierced with
half dozen bullets. An Internal machine
intended to blow up some Of the ships of war
in the Roads washed ashore this morning,
within few rods of Floyd's house. 1t is Of
an ingenious construction and is the second
attempt Of the kind. The Ronoake arrived
at the Roads this morning. She has been
as far south as st. Augustine. During her
cruise she burnt rebel privateer whose crew
escaped to the shore. The Quaker CITY is
up from the Cape. The railroad at Old
Point is in rapid progress. Floyds gun will
be moved over to position where it can be
brought to bear on Sewall's Point. The
Union gun will also soon be mounted. In
portant news may be expected from Old
Point in the course of few days.

WASHINGTON, JULY -.

WASHINGTON, July 81.
The Intelligencer of this morning learns
from two intelligent officers of Ellsworth
Zouaves who arrived IN this city last night,
one of whom left Centerville at four O'Clock
p. NJ. and the other Fairfax Court House at
noon, that up to that time at these respective
points no rebel forces had appeared which
would seem sufficiently to indicate that it is
a part Of their purpose to undertake any
thing like all advance towards Washington.
Officers wear more cheerful aspect today.
Fresh troops are continually arriving and
they appear to be of desirable character.
Baggage wagons and commissariat supplies
appear to be as plentiful as heretofore. Al
together there is a gathering up of army
fragments. Maj Bidwel Of the Mich. resi-
ment who assumed command after Col War
rem fell was yesterday and is to-day gather
ing UP his men. He estimates that 80 or 10
will cover the number killed in his regiment
and about double the number wounded
Business at the War Department is remark
ably heavy. Telegraphic dispatches hourly
accumulate, the sendcrs rendering troops in
surprising numbers for example, Illinois
has offered II and Indiana 10 regiments.
Some of them have already started and 9TH
ers will be en- route tomorrow. Information
reached here this morning that the rebel
pickets extended to where Gen Tyler former
ly encamped III the neishborhood of Falls
Church.
The most serious apprehensions are felt for
Hon Alfred Ely, who went to the scene of
war as spectator and to be of use to the
wounded Of the regiments Of his districts
1t is supposed he is either killed or taken
prisoner. In the present confused condition
Of affairs it is impossible to procure full lists
of the killed and wounded. There cannot
yet be an official report giving the informa-
ton.

1t is stated that the flag of truce sent to
the rebels on Sunday, and by which it was
proposed that we ourselves should go and

was returned with the answer that while they
would not permit our surgeons and ambu-
lances to come within their lines, they would
take as good care of our wounded as if they
were their own.

with embrasures resetted with Sand-bags.
Extensive breastworks were also thrown up
at Fairfax railroad station and on the road
leading to Sangster's. a great deal of work
has been done by them, and the number and
size of their camps show that they have been
here in great force. Their retreat, therefore,
must have damaging effect on them. They
left in such haste that they did not draw in
their pickets, who came into one of our camps,
thinking. as it occupied the same place, it
was their own.

has there been none like it since the Declare
ton of independence was subscribed, but
there can be none such other. A nation is
not called to pass twice through trial like
that to which the republic is now subjected.
The fiery ordeal either destroys or purities.
The Congress now sitting at Washington
may almost be said to hold in its hands the
future of the American people-certainly as
truly so as did the Congress of 1776. The
weakness of INDIGESTION, the imprudence of
compromise. might then have proved fatal to
the cause for which blood had just been shed
at Bunker Hill. So now, if Congress prove
more anxious to maintain the Union than to
establish the principles on which it was
founded, If the conscience and liberty of cit
izenship be sacrificed to the mere name and
framework Of the republican government
who can tell what calamities will flow from
such dishonor?"
