BLEEDING THE TREAsURY.-Sec. Cana
rom In his report 10 Congress, stated tha,
there were over Fix hundred thousand sold

There is no question that the ray rolls ex.
hiblted that numLer, when, in reality there
were only about five hundred thousand ac.
'uaiiy ~ the service. This DISCREPANCY is
now said to be accounted for from the fact
that the paymasters returned lists of the
different regiments with their full quota Of
men, when. in fact. many of them iell two
and three hundred short. The money for
the payment. according to the lists returned,
was drawn from the government. The pub
lic can draw their own inference az 10 the
disposition of the surplus. or the amount
drawn for the two or three hundred men
over and above these actually in the regi-
ments. Hero is another important item in
the cost of the war. and an additional chan

been carried on. Is there not some way

Ihs English Press on MCCleI-

The full intelligence Of the seven DAVIS
fight on tue Peninsula had not arrived in
England up to the date of the daparture
OF the last steamers, tut enough was known
to stimulate secession feeling in that cuun-
try to high pitch Of enthusiasm aud de-
light. The news was eagerly eanyassed
everywhere, and the widest speculations
prevailed as to its import and probable con-
sequences. Some journals regard General
Mcclellan az having sustained no serious
disaster. while others consider that he hos
met with a terrible reverse. The Times.
true 10 its instincts, thinks the rebels have
won decisive victory, a1d INDUCES in ma
ny sarcastic remarks at our expense. The
Post thinks that the time has come when
neutral States should interfere to put an
end to the conflict The News, favorable
feelings il placed 10 our position, ard ar
CUES that secession must be crushed out at
al hazards. The Hersli, the organ Of
Earl Derby and the tories, is ju6ilant at
tue blow which it supposes has fallen on the
fsderals. and the Manchester Guardian. the
cotton spiuners' payer, thinks that the
current Of success is clear and steady in
favor Of the South, though it despairs OF
ITS being conclusive.
The exultation of the English prs.s at
our defeat is only varied By disguet at the
American tariff. which is universally re-
garded as Injurious to British interests
The Times draw a dismal picture Of our
burned houses, ill-dressed women, smashed
up railroads, burnt-up steamboats,, and the
other evils that must prevail under the vir-
tusi prohibition of IMPORTS, and goes SO far
as to intimate that We shall have 10 eat our
own corn, as English manufacturers will
not be able to pay for it under the new ar
rangements.
There can be little doubt that the tone
OF English feeling is all but unanimous in
favor Of the South. How long it will be

Memphis, July 80.
The Bulletin of this morning has the
following from authentic sources:
Among other interesting items as to the
proceedings of the rebels. we have some
linking OF the subjects discussed at two
conferences Ct all the principal rebel mil-
itary leaders, held in Richmond on the 4th
and 5th insts. IL is understood that they
came 10 the conclusion that they must lose
no more territory. The defensive policy
was strongly attacked. auc: both Lee and
Beauregsrd advised the invasion of the
North at three points, namely from Cum
berlapd or WIlliamsport into Pennsylvanis;
from Louisville and Cincinnati into Indi-
ana and Ohio; and from Paducah and Cairo
into Illinois. lt is alleged that the follows
lowing plan OF operation for the remainder
of the summer campaign was agreed upon:
First, the immediate obstruction of the
James River, go as TO make il impossible
for Mcclellan to use IL as n means for com.
munlcation with the government and Cor
the transportation of reinforcements and
! army supplies; second, the occupation of
/ Williamsburg, Yorktown, AMI the entire
/ Peninsula; third. the recovery of the whole
/ Of the territory Of Virginia and the sup
/ preston Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
! road fourth, the recovery of New Orleans,
| Memphis, and the Mississippi River, and
the expulsion Of the Federal troops from
Tennessee and Kentucky. When these
! objects had been accOn. plisbed, the Lee
and Beauregard Ian was proposed fifth,
to make the Potomac and Ohio Rivers at
once their base Of operations aud frontier
line, and to transfer the seat Of war from
Virginia TO Maryland sixth, 10 hurl upon
Washington from Richmond q column OF
200 900 troops, capture that city, liberate
Baltimore, and invade the n rth at the
three points named above. Becoming in
turn the invaders, they hope TO make il
! necessary for Us to keep at home. for the
defence Of our cities, 100000 troops"
Memphis, Aug. !.
We have no further intelIi gence from
the rehel movements. Very little doubi
exists that they are making a move il
