Headquarters, Army of the Potomac, !
Tuesday, July 20.

DR.. Williams who has been prisoner
at Salisbury N. c., for several months,
who arrived here On Saturday, having
been Internationally released, states that
for 10 days after the battles in front Of
Richmond one thousand rebel troops pass
ed through that town daily, on their way
to Richmond, and more were on their way.
The Doctors window overlooked the
Railroad and depot, and gave him good
opportunity to ascertain what was going
on there. The troops came from James
Island and Eastern Georgia, among other
facts the Doctor ascertained that II 900
troops were at Charlotville, waiting for
transportation to Richmond, and that
80, 200 conscripts had been raised in
each Of the States Of Tennessee and Geor-
gia, since the 9th of July, and proper
tomato number in the other extreme
Southern States. He heard the Adiu-
tant Of Col. Goodwin, who commands the
Post Of Salisbury, who had just come
from Richmond, state that tho Adjndant
Of Gen, Hill told him that the rebels had
l73, 200 troops engaged in the bat
tie Of seven days. He was accompanied
by DIR. Stone, who was taken prisoner at
Bull Run, ana VINO corroDorates the state
ment SO far as relates to the movements
Of troops. On their way to Richmond,
they passed long trains Of empty cars on
their way South. If their statements
are true. and there is every reason to be-
lieve they are, it shows the rebels are
stalking their all in this State by concen-
trating within its borders an overwhelm-
ing force. The boats to-day brought
down 494 wounded from Richmond,
lsaviag about TOO yet to come.

@The telegraph announced, q day
or two ago, that part Of the mortar feet
had arrived in James river from New
Orleans. The presence of this invincible
armament, with the rapid arrival of rein
forcements for McClellan's army, may
cause very decided improvement in the
phase of affairs about Richmond in the
course Of a few weeks.

whore 10 GEN. Bueli.

The exact whereabouts of Gen. Buell.
is matter, Of some doubt at present. He
was to have taken Chattanooga some
weeks ago but probably missed the road
to that importaetPoin and has conse-
quently not come up to the expectations
Of some sanguine, and perhaps, unrea.on-
able friends. Probably the moral effect
of his policy. - seen in the present con-
dition Of the localities through which he
has passed, has encouraged him 20, that
be has discarded the cannon and taken
up moral suasion. We can only pray
most devoultly for the success of his pol
icy, and hope that administering tie oath
may settle this cruel war without further
bloodshed. In the meantime We would
suggest to General Buell. that few evil
minded persons failing to be modified by
his humane course. may take it into their
heads to burn some railroad bridges, and
cut of his communication from his sup
plies. Such things have been done. = A
few meddlesome persons might put him
to some trouble by stopping his supplies,
and might force him to retreat inglori-
ously from the enemy, without accom-
pGshing oil that was expected from no
fine an army.
The Baltimore American speaks of his
"well known tArdiness," but We are SO
utterly ignorant Of all that pertains to
military affairs that We know not whether
this may be considered complimentary or
not; if the former, Buell. may consider
himself the most popular officer in the ar
my, ~ this opinion Of him is generally en-
tertained. Mr.. Calhoun once spoke Of .
"mastsrly inactivity" and We believe that
al that is mastery in Gen. buell. lies in
the talent Of inactivity.-[ Nashville I'm

4 Puff for Norwich University.

NORWICH, Feb. "a, l>Goo.
To the Editor Of tie Coledonian:
In these warlike times perhaps it may not
prove amiSs to your readers to hear SOME
thing concerning Norwich University, which
is the only military college in New England.
That We have suffered much in the present
struggle Tor the want Of competent men to
command our armies is apparent to every
one. And how shall it be remedied in future :?
BY giving our young men military educa-
ton. The government school at West Point
can educate but limited number, while the
great mass Of our Young men must seek their
education elsewhere. Most of them 90 to
college, where the mind is stored will kno1l-
edge to he neglect of the physical con-
stitution, which becomes weak by constant
application to study. without due amount
of exercise. The military drill strengthens
the body and gives one a strong and vigor-
Gus constitution. 1t fits men for the duties
Of life. 1t enables him to discharge the du-
ties devolving upon him as citizen, in ac-
coraance with he constitution.
Our course of study is the same as purSu-
ed in all other colleges. The military depart
ment is under the guide of Gen Jackman.
who is acknowledged thorough discipline
rian Norwich | University stands without a
peer in the United States except West Point
as a military college. Therefore it is better
for those who wish military education to
come here before going elsewhere. Our

Washington's birth day was celebrated
here with due honor Statutes were ired in
honor Of the day, and for the recent Federal
victories in the West. We felt that well
might we sing song of triumph over the
coming resurrection the Mon to its former
supremacy. The cadets then assembled in
the chapel and listened to the reading OF
Washingtons farewell address, and short and
pthy speeches from each member of our fac
ulty.
Pray excuse the boliness have taken in
