McCLELLAN's Headquarters,


From movements Of he enemy last night
aud from information received from q con-
trabaud, q general engagement was look
for this morning. The troops were all I'M
der arms at daylight aud everything in
readiness, but after slight demonstration
by the rebels and iLding themselves
promptly met at every point, they retired
to thrir old position. A terrible storm Wis.,
tied this section last night, lasting about
three hours. The wind blew a hurricane,
leveling tents and trees in all directions.
Richmond papers complain Of The large
price paid for substitutes in the IT bel army,
many of whom immediately desert.
They mention instances where as high as
$40 to 5000 has been paid.
The arrest of prominent citizens in the
arrear OF our army is having most salu-
tary influence. Ten arrests were made yes
torday in the neighboi hood of New Kent
Court House aud Charles city, and the ar
rested parties sent to Fort Monroe
There has been less diminishing for the
last twenty -four hours than any time since
the battle of Fair Oaks.
The condition of the swamp for our en-
campment has rapidly improved within the
last few days.
The movements of the enemy to day
have been mysterious. Their pickets at
some points have been drawn in half mile,
while at others they remain as usual. The
ground vacated by the enemy is now held
by our troops.
Richmond papers of to-day speak of the
arrival of Gen. Price. No mentioR is made
of the Whereabouts of Gen. Beauregard's
army.

NASHVILLE, TENN, June 23.-An enthus-
iastic Union meeting was held at Pulaski
to-day Hon. Neill S. Brown re- endorsed
his Columbia speech, declaring for the
Union. he pronounced the Union neces-
sity.
Gov. johnson has been invited to deliver
4fh of July address at Louisville.
Preliminary arrangements for the celebra-
ton at the Hermitage on that day may,
however, prevent his acceptance.
From the Richmond Enquirer, Jone 2Ist.
We learn from the Express that Yankee
troops to the number of 5000 have ad-
vanced from Norfolk and Suffolk to a point
on the seaboard railroad, known as Frank
lin Depot, so miles from Portsmouth and
thirty from Weldon The aim of this force
beyond doubt, is to advance towards
Weldon and cut off railroad communication
at that place with Petersburg and Rich
mond at Weldon, where the roads from
Wilmington, Raleigh, and Petersburgh
converge. This explains the recent visit of
Burnside to Old Point and W bite House,
where he and Mcclellan compared notes.
SPECIAL TO WORLD.
To-day the rumor that Gen. Ewell had
returned with his rebel force and occupied
Front Royal is current. 1t is apprehended
that for some days past the Union troops
lately there have been employed elsewhere,
and these rumors grew out of that fact
1t is by no means impossible that General
EwsIl came back to that quarter again.
