War News of the Week.
From GEN. McCLELLAN's ARMY.

FROM Gen. MCCLELLAN
The week has again passed without q
general engagement before Richmond, but
has not been free from excitement and
some pretty severe skermishing. On the
18th 10000 rebels appeared opposite Cen
Rockers division on our left, and threa-
tened severe fight Our men were soon
in line, and after an hours sharp fighting
the enemy were driven back half mile
From the day of this affair to the Nth
there had been daily skermishing on our
left, a swamp of thick underbrush in front
of our line giving the enemy an advantage
over our troops. Finally Gen. Mcclellan
determined to put q stop to this by ad-
vancing our line beyond the swamp to
open dry ground. Gen. Hookers division
was put in motion at A. II. OF the 24tn
to accomplish this object We met with
determined resistance. The tight lasteo
with mere or less severity until O'Clock
Pm. as high as 10000 men being engaged
on each side, and threatening at any mo-
ment to bring on a general engagement,
when the enemy gave way, and our troops
took possession of their encapnlent on the
other side of the swamp. Mcclellan tele-
graphs TO the War Department that the
advantage gained is a most important one,
and will tell on the final result
In seems aged that Beauregard has
arrived at Richmond with re-inforcements,
and deserters say he is second In COM
nand Gen. Pope, it is said, however,
ridicules the idea of his taking heavy re-
endorsements to Richmond
President Davis is said to be growing III
exceedingly bad odor in Richmond. Hand
bills are posted about the streets applying
ridiculous and approbious epethets to him.
1t is even said he is suspected OF wishing
to escape, and that his movements are
watched This, however, is inconsistent
with the statement of Richmond paper,
that Davis is lying i'll at Raleigh, n {,
where he had gone to visit sick child
There is an intimation that an impor-
tant movement is on foot by Gen. Burn
side, in aid of Gen. M'Clellan's operations
against Richmond 1t is, that he is about
to take possession of Weldon, n. C., thus
cutting off all communication between
Richmand and the south, and leaving no
escape for the rebels if driven out OF that
city except by escaping to the mountains,
where they would starye 20 death.
McCalrs division, 10000 strong, which
formed a part of McDowelfs corps, has
reached Mcclellan by water, and another
division is to follow Immediately in the
same way.
Gen. Pope will also operate against Rich
mould
Besides McCalrs division, Gen. McClel-
Ian has received other reinforcements to
the amount of several thousand since the
battle Of Fair Oaks.

The return of Mr.. Weed to the editorial
chair of the Albany Erening Journal is sig
nalized by the conservative tone of its re-
cent leading articles Who were the
parties that brought about the present state
of affairs, and who are now rendering re-
union difficult if not impossible" is thus
stated in that paper: .H
1.-The chief architects of rebellion, before
it broke out, avowed that they were aided
in their Internal designs by the ultra
aboiitionists of the North. This was too
true. for without such aid the South could
never have been united against the nion
But for the incendiary recommendations
which rendered the otherwise useful
Helper Book trebrand, North Carolina
could not have been forced out ofthe Union
And even now, the ultra abolition press
and speech-makers areaggravating the her
rors they helped to create, and thus, by
playing into the hands of the leaders of re-
bellion, are keeping down the Union men
of the South, and rendering reunion diff
ficult if not imposs ible" ytl
That is a pretty heavy battery brought
to bear upon the abolitionists. 1t comes
too, from one who has courted and petted
them for their votes. 1t tells undeniable
truth, however rd

From THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY

The CuENANDOAu ALi-hi
The current and most probable reports
of The week are that jackson and Eweil
have been reinforced from Richmond, and
are again marching northward through
the Virginia valley, which Fremont,
Shields, and Banks are uniting their forces
and fortifyins at Winchestes, Front Royal,
and Harpers Ferry,
The bungling management of affairs in
this valley, however, has decided the adj
minis.ration upon decisive step to bring
about Improvement. The forces under
Fremont, Banks and Mcdowell have been
consolidated into one army, and placed
under the chief command of Gen. Pope,
Of Ill Fremont, Banks, &c, are to retain
their separate respective positions, but in
subordina.ion to Gen. Pope. The object
Is, not only that Gen. p. shall take care
OF jackson and Ewel,, but also render in-
portant assistance to Mcclellan.

Death OF Young Wiley.

The intelligence that reached here one week since
of the death of Walter L. Wiley son of VIM. L.
Wiley, of Galva, Illinois, cast gloom and sadness
over this entire community, particularly among the
young, who passed so happy season with him du-
ring his visit to his native home the past winter
He was taken with a severe attack of the typhoid
fever, and he gave himself up to the doctors care
on the fifth of May, and continued to grow worse,
and portion of the time in the last Of his sickness
was apparently unconscious Of what was passing
around him. His death occurred on the 22d Of the
same month; just as the sun was setting his spirit
took its flight to Him who gave it. In this stroke
of Divine Providence many hearts are made to
bleed. He has large circle of relatives and friends
that deeply mourn his loss. He was IS years Of
age, and gave promise Of becoming an active and
useful man in life. He was possessed Of those
friendly and social qualities which endeared him tc
all who formed his acquaintance marked with thai
strong desire to assist and benefit all those who as
ISOLATED with him. He enjoyed life to its fullest
extent-always cheerful and happy. When at the
age of fourteen he made public profession of re,
| ligion and joined the Baptist church in the place
where he resided, since which time he has maintain
ed close walk with God-always punctual at the
house of God, and willing to recommend the relig
| ion of Jesus Christ to those around him--exhibt
| ing to the world that the duties he owed to hi,
Maker were paramount to all Others. He lived and
died christian, thus affording to his parents ant
friends the consolation that he is now resting il
peace in the bosom Of his Savior.

from their sleeping rooms with very LITTLE
wearing apparel. The alarm was given il
