GEN. MCCLELLAN.-PerhaPs no uHtrled
man ever attained greater celebrity than
Gen. Mcclellan, or enjoyed more generally
the confidence Of the American people.
His campaign In Western Virginia proved
him capable Of managing to advantage an
army OF 6fteen or twenty thousand men,
and when, after The Bull Run disaster he
was called to the chief command, the inds-
criminate lAndations Of newspaper CORES
pondents led the people generally to re-
gard him as second Napoleon. But bis
Fret operation on large scale having been
a failure, has severely shaken the public
confidence in bis ability asa commander,
and many, who. a iew weeks ago, were
lOudest in his praise, are now dtnouncing
him az uOfit to be entrusted with the lives
Or the brave men uader bis command For
our part, we never could discover in Nc
CIellan single NapOleonic trait, but have
regarded him as safe and prudent COM
uAnder, and still have confidence that he
will prove himself such. We place no reli-
ance 10 the reports that he is to be superCe-
ded in the command. SO far as we can
Judge, from the accounts received, be still
has the confidence Of the army, and we
know of no officer In the service who would
be more likely to successfully lead the
troops upon the new line Of advance on
Richmond!

New ORLEANS lTBMs.-Advices from New
Orleans to the 25th July state: Gen. Butler
had ordered that all negroes who have been or
dered by their masters to leave and Join the
Federals, will be regarded as emancipated.
Masters had endeavoTed in many cases to re-
claim them after the use Of such expressions.
Gen. Butler in a note to Reverdy johnson, says
no merchandise, whether cotton or sugar, will
in any event be seized or con6scated by the
United States authorities here.
/. X. Parish, agent Of the Rothchilds in New
Orleans, had committed suicide.
A number of persons had been arrested for
an attempt to assassinate Thomas s. Burbank
x Bro, among whom was Andree DelOuke,
brother -in.law Of John Slidell and Gen. Beau
regard.
The price Of -four had fallen to sixteen dol
lars per barrel.

RUMORs or AN EMANCIPATION PROCLAAA-
TIOx.--We have the following some~ilAt
startling rumOrs In New York dispatch Of
August %:
A special dispatch from Washington to the
World says: 1t is openly asserted oy the Eman-
cipatiOnists that the long polite 81 struggle Is
drawing to a close, that the President, over
borne by the pressure brought upon him will
issue decree giving freedom to all slaves, and
this before the 18th Of September.
The Tribune's Washington correspondent
says: In justice to all parties it seems proper to
state the following, which we learn from so
many sources that It cannot longer be consid-
cred State secret: Two or three weeks ago
the President laid before the Cabinet procla-
nation Of Emancipation, abolishing slavery on
the lst of next December, il the rebellion
should not be crushed before then. He asked
the opinion Of his Ministers touching the pro-
priety Of issuing it. Secretary Smith, we be-
iieve. was absent. OF the others, all but two
approved the probation. Seward and Blair
opposed it with all their might. The result did
not appear. 1t is understood that the subject
came came up at more than one cabinet meet
ing, but Seward and Blair remained resolute
against the majority.
There may, possibly, be some truth In
these TumOrs. though the chances are about
even that tho whole will be datly denied in
the next dispatches that came over the con
tinental line. 1t is barely possible, that
before the war closes, an emancipation de-
cree might have the effect 10 strengthen the
the cause of The Government in some local
ities-in South Carolina, for example-but
for the Government TO declare slaves free
iu sections where the Federal armies have
never penetrated, and pc haps never will,
would be the merest braggadiciO, and have
no more effect than decree OF JEFF. Davis
ai,olishing the common school system Of
the NOrlhern States.

which caused his removal. He is armed with
any number of documents from the prominent

There has been considerable sickness in

Too LARGE FOG IT'S BREEcHEs.- Fran
cisco is raid to have too large q population
for the business of the country that sup
ports It. A Bay paper remarks:
1t is said that San Francisco is, in vulgar
parlance, getting too big for its breeches;
that is, its population is larger than its business
there is not enough doing here to keep the
people in employ. This is no doubt the case.
This city is too large for the country. The pop
ulatinn Of the State is about 100000, and that
of tho city over 10000, and of course the trade
of the former is not sufficient to keep the latter
in active operation. five would have the growth
of the city in the future keep pace with its pro-
gress in the past. we must increase our manu-
featuring facilities, stimulate the productive en-
ergy Of the people, and use our utmost exertions
to develop new resources in the interior, and to
open new and improved means Of communica-
ton with all parts Of the State.

MILITARY OPERATIONs IN VIR0INIA.-The
telegraphic report published in our last.
that the armies of Mcclellan, Burnside and
Pope had formed junction. or at least are
ia positions to support each other, is fully
confirmed. POpe's forces succeeded in
crossing the Rappahannock without loss,
and large portion, if not all. of McCel-
lan's forces had also arrived. The fol.
lowing from the Philadelphia Press OF the
23d, is the latest advices we have had
from the quarter 10 which all attention is
now directed:
Gen. Pope has fallen back across the Rap
pahannock and made that stream line Of de-
fence. The enemy is in great force on the
south bank. He has made several Intellectual
efforts to cross and turn our left flank, at the
same time making demonstrations on our cen
ter. Such disposition Of our army has been
made that there need be no fears. Gen. Nc
Clellan has arrived with large portion OF his
army, and it is believed has assumed command.
Fighting Of a desultory character has been 60
ing on for several days. The enemy has no
doubt been repulsed at all points by our bate
ries, though not without some loss of artillery,
men and horses. During Thursday, Aug 2Ist
firing was heard on our extreme left and it
was believed that Gen. Reno had repulsed the
rebels. All advices indicate our success at all
points.

TIE RIvsR-Da,sass 90 the Bridgs-Narrotc
Escape from DTC bczsHs-The late heavy rains
have had the effect TO produce quite a freshet In
the Potomac. Yesterday the water was very
high and the current rspid, bringing down
Immense quantities OF drift wood from the upp~r
river. Many men and boys were employed in
catching the wood, laying In supplies az fuel for
future use. The current had but little effect upon
the bridge but an occurrence yesterday has again
stopped the travel over the bridge. About half
past eleven O'Clock yesterday the steamer Lady
Washington started from Georgetown 10 90 down
the river. The attendants az the drawer immedl-
ately began to open the way FOR her; but the S.ss
er approached SO rapidly that before the drawer
was fairly opened she came In contact with IL com
pletely wTecking the drawer, which fell iato the
water, and ~ 10 thought seriously damaged the
pier abutment. This injury IL much more serious
than the former injury, and IL is thought three
weeks viii be required 10 pu: the bridge in It's
former condition. There is belief that the pilot
was 10 blame, and that an investigation Of the
case will be made to-day by the Department.
Yesterday q small boy, who was fishing az the
bridge, fell into the river and was carried away
rapidly by the current Persons around called
TO the crew Of a schooner lying In the stream,
and they instsn tly manned a boat and set out for
the boy, but the current was swift that he
carried several hundred yards before they reached
him. They pulled him out nearly drowned snc
dreadfully frightened.
To-day the current is very rapid, but no; 90
much 90 az yesterday.
