1.-TWO or three gentlemen, including the
Prince De Joinyille. reached Washington this
forenoon, from General McCiellan's immediate
front, and y dispatch has been received here,
sent some hours after they left thsre-yester.
We gather that the battle of Saturday last
heavy one also occurred on Monday last.
Further: that Gen. Mcclellan is In position and
successfully repulsins the attacks made upon
him. His army lays between the point recent
ly held a. his left flank and Turkey Island or
point, (on James rivsr,) eight miles below Fort
Darling. .0af' A..
We gather, further, that General Mcclellan
feels sure Of holding his ground, from which
Our losses, though great, do not equal those Of
the rebels, who are lighting like devils incar'
nate" i'.,-'- ..
The public will not unlikely, and perhaps
not erroneously, suspect that the coloring here
given to recent events, Is little too favorable.
But according 10 the most unfavorable rumors,
these events should not take us by surprise.
There may have been desperate and doubtful
fighting, and heavy sacrifices Of our brave
troops, but this rebellion was not a thing to be
put down without such fighting and such losses
somewhere.
There is residuum Of desperadoes left by
this rebellion, TO whom life without its success
is Of no value, and who must be killed off be-
fore IT can be put down.

And where else 70 better advantage?
We can transport men and supplies and mu-
nitions of war, by the line Of James river, to
the field of operations against Richmond, more
easily than the rebels can concentrate there
the means of defence. Our resources to draw
from are vastly greater. There Is nothing
needed but courage and energy.
1t is said here that our siege guns in front OF
Richmond are lost, in whole or In part. If that
is to be the last Of seige guns, it is no loss II
the rebels cannot maintain themselves in the
field. Richmond must fall and without seige
guns.
we believe that whatever Of q check there
may have been to our arms in the recent events
will be overruled to the permanent advantage
of the country. 1t certainly will be, II we are
thereby admouished of our national sins, made
less vainglorious, and taught to feel both oul
