GenerAi rcGtosianFs order Tor the
Observance of The SIS bbaih by the
Army.

After General Mcclellan took command
at II aasnIngt0n, iIe Was reported h saying,
in reply To some one who was lamentinr
the disaster at Bull Run, - But it was "a
splendid Reconnaissance tor me Ills gen
eral order, which will be found in our tel
egraph columns, requiring a strict ob-ery-
ance Ut the Sabbath in the army, IL anoth-
er instance Of his ability aud tact In turn
iug former blunders aud disasters Ia his
own advantage and to future success
The memorials, which have been sent to
the COMMANDMENT Chief from numerous
religious denominations and ministers.
and the sermons which have been preach
cd ON the defeat which our army suffered
nj Bull hun, because ii attacked on Sun
day, and the general expression of the re-
hgious press IN the lesson Of that event,
show that there is d widespread. feeling
on this subject, which the general in COM
mand cannot afford 10 slight, and which
a skillful general will sec that il il better
to secure In hls favor than TO have against
him. even if there were no more sacred
obligation upon him.
lit will greatly crafty the religious sen
timcnt Of the country 10 sce that the
heathenish saying that there are no Sum
DAYS i'm time of war, Is banishcd from our
military code, aud that the obligation to
devote one day in seven to divine worship
il not to be neglected at the very time
when the divine support Is most needed.
This Difference 10 the religious sentiment
of the country by the general in command,
and this enforcement of religious duty,
will cause his praises TO be sounded from
every pulpit and every religious press, and
will vastly enhance the present towering
popularity of Gen. Mcclellan, aud will do
much to strengthen the public confidence
in the success Ct the army under his COM
mand.
The PRONUNCIATION Of this general order
yesterday, put an end to the expectations
entertained by many here that battle
would be fought on that day, or, at least,
to all expectations that Gen. Mcclellan
would attack the enemy. AS to their at
lacking our forces, there could be no def
mite opinion formed on previous expert
cnce. All OF the Confederate official trans
actions have been attended by multitari.
Gus appeals to Divine Providence. But
it is known that they intended to attack
our army at Manassas on the Sunday
when their plans were anticipated by oul
attack, and it is possible that they may
regard Sunday as their lucky day. Gin

enough to bear man or a horse, unde
ordinary circumstances, yet down a
once it thandcrcd under the dcsperat,
leap ofSatan. However, it did no
signify, as nothing could have prevcn
ted us from surging into the water a
the next bound.
a large quantity of rain had fallc,
in the upper part Of the shire; and, ii
consequence, the river was full from
bank to brac. l was nearly u stranger
to the place; indeed, SO much so, tha
| had supposed We were running from
the river. This, combined with tho
suddenness Of the shock, and the ap
pearance Of q turbid rapid river
sweeping down trees, brushwood
branches, hay, corn and straw before
it, with resistcss force, was so foreign
to my idea of the calm peaceful Clyde
that when rose to the surface, l was
quite bcwildered, and had very seri
Gus doubts rs to my own identity.
1 was reused from this state of be-
wilderment by the snorting and splash
ing Of the horse; he was making a bold
attempt to scale the perpendicula,
bank. Had I been thrown into the
body of the river, I should have been
swept away, and the animal must have
perishcd; but in all heavy rapid runs
of water, salt or fresh there is what is
called all eddy stream, running close
i'll shore, ina contrary directt::ceas tto the
H;Si Ht:;:;'in pody Of the w.tcr, l have seen
Highlanders in their boats catching
fish in the eddy stream Of the Gulf OF
Correivekcn, within short distance
of the main tide, which, had it but 60,
the slightest hold of their boat, would
have swept them with fearful velocity
into the Jaws Of the roaring guilt. ]
was:caught by this eddy, which KEEP,
me stationary, and enabled me by a
few strokes, to reach the horses side.
To. cross the river, or to land, was
alike impossible; so took the reins in
my right hand, wheeled the horse from
the bank, and dashed at once with
him into the strength Of tho current.
Away we went, Satan and I, in capital
spirits both; not doubt of our effect:
ing q safe landing ever crossing my
mind. And the horse evinced his Ger
tainty upon that subject, by snatchine
a bite out Of a piece of hay that float
ed at his side, and eating it as compos
edly as if ::hc had been in his stable.
We soon swept round the big bank
that had caused our misfortune, ani
came to level part Of the country
which was flooded far up into tho
fields.
I then struck strongly ont in q slant
ing direction for the shore, and soor
had the satisfaction of finding myself
upon the green turf: Satan shook him
self pricked up his ears and gave a low
neigh. I then strokcd him, and spoke
kindly to him. He returned the ca
ress by licking my hand. Poor fcl
low! he had contracted a friendship
for me in the watcr-a friendship
which only terminated with his lite; and
