There we're no English guns left By the
rebels, they we're mostly Rodman and Dali
ghrsn guns, from tue Norfolk Navy Yard.
Those which burst we're manufactured after
the ROdmsn pattern, at Richmond.
Competent judges say no sign Of dsmOr-
aliEstion was visible in the track Of the
rebel srmy. Very few small arms we're
left in the works, no knapsacks thrown
away on the road. Blankets and tents
with ammunition and cannon we're left be-
cause they were. too oumbrOus to carry
away. II was g we'll ordered retreat the
entire route. The change Of position was
doubtless in consequences Of q recent deter
minstion. But part Of the plan, it is be-
lieSed, was that stand should be made on
The Ohickahominy, to delay our advance,
rather than to fight. The country into which
our army moves, is higher, more healthy,
and better in ell respects than the sWsmPs
before Yorktown. Among the rebel spoils
was . cannon cartridge, which was covered
With pisse Of Bay State shawl, which
Assistant Secretary Fox recognized &c be-
ing made when he was in charge Of the
Bay State Mills.
