THE SITUATION

The campaign in Eastern Virginia is near
about played out" for the present. Mcclellan
has made stand at point where he can be rein
forced and resupplied. He has probably got some
twenty Thousand additional men from Burnside
aud Shields The forces lately beleaguering
Charleston have gone off, and are probably along
with Mcclellan by this time. lie will soon be as
strong, Ear numbers concerned, as
he was before the battles Of the lasttwo weeks.
But he will not soon attempt onward move
ment. His march to Richmond has been so seri-
ou.ly interrupted, that he will hardly attempt it
again By way OF the Peninsula, although he may
make effort the South side of the James,
coming up from the direction of Norfolk
His control Of the river enables him to select
his point of attack, and of course to transfer
his forces from side Of the James to the other.
One would think that he would be willing enough
to get out of his present position at the earliest
possible time as the Petersburg Express says that
the spot Of land he now occupies is little hotter
than tophet, and is enough to roast and broil eve
ry sinner in the Federal army 1t is about the
hottest place in the State Of Virginia.
When active hostilites may next be looked for,
is more than VIC can say, but we think it quite
likely that the first news of any startling impor-
lance, will reach us from the Southwest. Bragg
will, if we not wholly mistak Zen, be heard from
at an early day

ADDRESS FROM THE PRESIDENT.

IL tie Ar'ry in Eastern Frg'nia.-SoL-
pIERs-I congratulate you on the series Of bril-
liant victories, which, under the favor of divine
Providence, you have lately won, and, the
President of the Confederate States, do heartily
tender 20 you the thanks of the country, whose
just cause you have SO skifully and herocally
served. Ten days ago an Invading army, vastly
SUPERIOR to you in numbers and in the material of
war, closely beleaguered your capitol, aud vaun-
tugly proclaimed its speedy conquest; you
marched to attack the enemy in his entrench-
ments, with well directed movements and death
defying ya!or. You charged upon him in his
strong positions, drove him from field to field over
distance Of more than thirty-fve miles, aud de-
spite his reinfurccmcnts, compelled him to seek
safety under the cover of his gun boats, where he
now lies covering before the army so lately derid
ed and threatened with entire subjugation. The
fortitudc with which you have borne toll and pri-
walton, the gallantry with which you have entered
into each successive battle, must have been wit
messed to be fully appreciated; but grateful pco-
pie will not fail TO recognize your deeds and to
bear you in loved remembrance. Well may it be
said of you that you have done enough for glory;
but duty to suffering country, and to the cause
er effort. Let it be your pride to relax in nothing
which can promote your future efficiency-your
one great object being to drive the invader from
your soil, and carrying your standards beyond the
outer boundaries Of the Confedcracy, to wiring
from an INSCRIPTIONS foe the recognition of your
Lirthright, community independence.

LATE FROM EUROPE.

The steamship Nova Scotia has arrived, bringing
Liverpool dates to the 22d ult. The Emily St.
Pierre affair has been settled.
The correspondent Of the Paris Constitutional
regards the mediation Of Europe respecting the
American war as merely a question of time Pub
lie opinion in both England and France daily grows
in favor Of the recognition Of the Southern
Confederacy and of mediation. In the House of
Commons, the motion of Mr.. Lindsay, respecting
British relations with America, and expressing the
hope that the Confederacy would be recognized,
since it is now clear that its independence will be
achieved, had been postponed to the 1th of July.
In the House of Lords, Mr.. Hayward stated that
he would, on the first of July, move resolution
that it is the duty of the British Government to
use every exertion consistent with the maintain
ance of peace to end the American war.
Our TRooPs IN THE LATE BArTLEs-We
have been, all our lives devoted to that species of
literature which consists il the description of bat
ties and sieges. Consequently the quantity we
have read in this department is greatly dispropor-
tionate to the quantity we have read in all other
departments put together. We can safely aver
that read Of any single feat or any series
of feats, either in ancient or modern times, that
can at Ell compare with the exploits of our army
on the Chickahonny, during the week ending
with Thursday July Sd. The storm of Badajos
was an achievement of unrvalled splendor at that
day. The British army has frequently, in India,
accomplished enterprises in the way of storming
that appeared impossible But when before, did
any army ever storm twenty miles of redoubts and
entertainments, all constructed with the utmost
Skill and defended with the most obstinate per-
tenacity? Our brave troops went on from redoubt
to redoubt, and from earthwork to earthwork
without hating or looking to the right or left
They lost heavily, it is true, but they accomplish
ed far more than is to be looked for in the imme-
date results of their victory enormous as they
are. They established for themselves name
which will be of everlasting service to their coun.
try. The prestige Of invincibiity is theirs, and
will remain theirs in all future time The moral
is to the physical, says Napoleon, in the proper
| ton of three to one. Their enemies, in future
will be half beaten before firing shot. The
very terror of their name will do as much for them
as their bullets and bayonets.-Rich Dispatch.

TREATMENT OF OUR WoUNDED.-It is establish
ed beyond the possibility Of contradiction that
number Of our wounded, after receiving their
wounds, were deliberately murdered by the Federal
troops gentleman Of undoubted veracity, who
was wounded in the fight at Coal Harbor, says
that after receiving his wound, which was but a
slight one, he succeeded in capturing Yankee
soldier, with whom he started to camp.-On the
way they passed by Texan officer, upon whom a
mortal wound had been inflicted, and who Was at
the time we'll nigh exhausted from the loss of
blood. The Texan expressed desire to talk to
the prisoner, which was allowed, and he ADDRESSED
him, IN substance, follows: II am about to die
and what state to you know to be true. When
our brigade charged your lines, aud was repulsed,
number of our wounded was left upon the field;
and when your troops came up distinctly heard
your officer give the command to shoot in the
head any wounded rebel ON the field, and you
obeyed the order. | owe my own life to the
readiness with which our men rallied This state
ment wished to make to you, in the presence of
witnesses, that the facts may SO out the world

order had been given.-Richmond Dispatch
