LIsT OF oUR DEAD.

Time Of death not reportsd.
The greatest mortality has occurred in
Sergeant Laird's detachment, which waa
composed exclusively of Trumbull county
men, one-third of whom have died. The
maxiapm of fatality has doubtless been
reached. 1t is hsrdly possible we will
lose as many more men, even if called
upon to serve out our full term of enlist
ment for three years.
Thus far the summer has. not been per-
ceptibly hotter than we have been accus-
toned to at the North. The heated term
is said to be from this date till Sept. Ist.
We have no fears of our ability to with
stand IL. @ .- -r
The Union forces are noW widely sepa-
rated, Buell's army extending from
Memphis to ~Chattenooga along the line of
the Memphis & Charleston R. R., while
the army under Gen. Grant is guarding
and holding the country and railroads
between the Tennessee and Mississippi
rivers. The rebels are said to have large
forces in Mississippi which will doubtless
make forays from time to time upon i'm
portant points ON the Memphis & Charles
ton r. R. Grand Junction and Corinth
being important crossings, Will be most
open TO these rebel incursions. No alarm
sesms to be felt in regard to their safety,
ana though it would be easy for the reb-
els to recapturs any of these points, their
success would be of the most temporary
character.
The attention of all now centers upon
Richmond, aPd until that impending
struggle shah have taken place, it is felt
that all predictions as to the future must

a Washington despatch reports the
marriage of Count de Paris 70 the eldest
daughter of the Duchess of Parma, which
fuses two royal branches, Bourbon and
Orleans, and makes him the legitimate
representative of both houses.
Count de Paris was recently Of Gen.

have something to look after nearer
home, than intermeddling with American
affairs. It is to be hoped he will.

From cClellan's Army.
Fr. MONROE, Aug. LIST

TT. MONROE, Aug. lSt.
1t is rumored and believed here that
the new Merimac has come down as far as
Fort Darling. One thing is authentic that
Federal gunboats have passed up the riv-
er beyond Harrison's landing, A detaeh-
ment of Infantry and Cavalry from Nc
Clellan's army made a reconnaissance down
the Chickahominy and came towards VIII
liamsburg, all they met was our pickets.
They then returned reporting to have seen
nothing of the enemy.
Last night, between u and l, the rebels
opened fire on McClellan's center for
about an hour and a half, and from four
batteries flying artillery opposite the land
ing, some above and some below. Not
one-third of their shells explode. Several
vessels were struck by fragments ofshells,
but no one in the feet was injured. Nine
soldiers were killed and three wounded.
After half an hours delay our siege guns
opened, and in less than forty minutes
the rebels were silenced. If the motive
of the rebels was to draw our gunboats
down the river, they were disappointed, as
not one made its appearance. Nothing
further heard of rebel Merrimac.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY PoToNAc,
Aug. l, 1862.
Six hundred troops crossed the river
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of
destroying the houses and woods on the
opposite shore which have afforded pro-
lection to the rebels. Everything in the
shape of a dwelling was burned.
This was the point where the rebels
shelled our shipping and encampmsnt.-
The affair was successfully accomplished
without the loss of a man.
The gunboats this morning are engaged
in Smelling the shore and houses down
the river.
Four men were killed by the enemy's
shells night before last, and two wounded.

Last night we had a big scare, but nothing
more, here. At half past ten we heard
firing by our pickets, which are now out
a mile and Il half or more, in every direc-
ton, from town. 1t was not long until
the whole camp and the whole town were
aroused. We sent out two companies
besides IL company of home guards to
see what was the trouble; but finally con-
Guided that, nothing more than a small
scouting band had fired on our pickets
and that there was no great enemy to be
seen. We have orders to move to Louis
