McClellan's Headquarters, !
June "A, 'G2.

From movements of the enemy last
night and from information received from
contraband, q general engagement was
looked for this morning. The troops were
all under arms at daylight and every
thing in readiness, but after slight de-
monstration by the rebels and finding
themselves promptly met at every point,
they retired to their old position.
A terrible storm visited this section
last night lasting about three hours. Tire
wind blew hurricane lcyelina tents aud
trees in all directions.
Richmond papers complain Of the large
prise paid for substitutes in the rebel ar
my, many Of whom Immediately desert
ed. They mention Instances where as
high as sIl and So has been paid.
The action Of Colonel Rufus Ingals at
White House in causing the arrest of
some fifty Of the most prominent citizens
remaining in the rear of our army is hav-
ing most salutary influence on those
who now stay. Ten arrests were made
yesterday in the neighborhood of New
Kent G. H. and Charles City, and the ar
rested parties sent to Fort Monroe.
There has been less skirnIishing for the
last twenty-four hours than any time since
the battle of Fair Oaks.
The condition of the swamp for an cn-
campment has rapidly improved within
The last few days.
The movements Of theenenly to-day have
been mysterious. Their piekets at some
points have been drawn in half mile,
while others remain as usual. The ground
vacated by the enemy is now held by our
Tips.
Richmond papers to-day speak of the
arrival Of Gen. Price No mention is
made Of the whereabouts of Beauregard' Is
army.

PERMANENT HoslITALAr kEeEuK.-
1t is understood that lie authorities has-
ing the matter in charge have been look
ing at several points on the Upper Mis-
sissippi for suitable point for perma-
nent Government Hospital, and if so the
claims OF heokuk cannot, and must not
be overlooked in this behalf We have
number of most eligible sites with
healthful dry rolling ground, surrounded
by pleasant groves. and afordipg beauti-
full prospects calculated to cheer the pa
tent; while our citizens are noted for
their kindness and attention to our un-
fortunate soldiers. But most control
ling reason is, that Keokuk is the highest
point on the river that can be reached at
all times of the boating season by the
class Of steamers used as Hospital boats.
While as high point as possible along
the line of our State and Illinois may be
desirable to, avoid the excessive heats
of summer. Keokuk is far enough North
not to be Objectionable in this respect,
and By locating such an institution here
the prospects of recovery of patients
who are brought on in low condition,
would not be jeoparded by number of
changes, as to the cars and other boats.
Government could not find more sui,a-
bic place.
