News from McCIellan,s Army.

New YORK, May %.
The Times correspondent at New Bridge,
in his letter dated the 26th, says the dispo-
sition of the whole rebel army before Rich
mond seems to have been changed within
the past three days. Instead Of retreating
towards, they are coming from it in large
numbers, evidently determined to make a
stand between it and the Chickahominy. It
was ascertained beyond doubt five days
ago that not more than 5000 rebel troops
occupied the ground between us and Rich
mond but now the aspect is completely
changed. Numerous indications favor the
belief that our onward progress to Richmond
will be holly contested by the larger part of
the rebel army. Every hour troops are
pouring out of Richmond and deposing them
selves along the Chickahominy, some points
being only half mile distant.
A deserter from Georgia regiment says
Beauregard arrived at Richmond last Thurs
day, and that most vigorous attempt will
be made to save the city.
Our gunboats in James river last night
threw few shells into the rebel batteries;
we have not learned the effect
Trains now run regularly from West Point
to the Chickahominy with supplies for the
Federals.
A deserter from Tennessee regiment
reports the main body of the rebel army on
the north side of the railroad. They claim
10000 men, but the man thinks 10000
nearer correct. Much dissatisfaction exists
on account of the CONSUMPTION act.

We clip the following from the CONNER
cial report of the Leavenworth Conservative.
AS considerable quantity of bills on the
"Real Estate Bank of Delaware" are circu-
lating here, the paragraph may be of in
terest to our people. This money has been
denounced by the Chicago Tribune, and

LeaVenworth, has received $500, 900, which

ment to the first of May; consequently.
money must become abundant as the dis
bursements progress, as the money is due
to our citizens and vicinity. Government
vouchers dated May LIST are bought at 5 per
cent. discount.
Eastern currency. the st. Louis papers
say, has become burthensome with the
bankers-they refusing to receive it at bet
ter than I per cent. discount. They have
thrown out the Beverly Bank of New Jer-
sey, Northwestern Bank, of Warren, Pa,
and McKean County Bank, of Shreeves-
port. We will say to our readers that there
sre others of the same stripe, which are
about on par with the ones thrown out,
viz: Monongahela Bank, Pa; Northum-
berland Bank. Pa; Bank of Crawford Co.,
Pa; Real Estate Bank of Delaware, and
Bank Of Pittston, Pa.,-of all of VI hich we
see few scattering bills in circulation.
This hint we think sufficient.
New York papers speak of the frmness
of Government securities. and the immense
amount on hand seeking investment. The
average deposits of the banks for the week
ending May "a, reached the immense sum
of $95, 900, 900.

Ed. EMPoRIA News: Our company has
received marching orders, and we shall be
off on Monday next for Salt Lake, as an es-
cort to the Governor of Utah, whose place
of destination is the City of the Saints. Our
BOYS, individually and collectively, are
charmed with Atchison, and feel it duty
they owe to themselves and their friends in
LYON and adjoining counties, to inform them
of the kind treatment We have received while
here. and from the ladies in particular
-"Nightingales" in more than benevolent
sense of the word, for some of them sing
beautifully. Our arrival here was on a
stormy night, after long ride in cold
and drenching rain. The exposure incident
to such inclement weather brought sickness
and death to our camp. The funeral pro-
cession of soldier, moving slowly along
the streets on that quiet Sabbath Day,
touched the hearts of our Unions true
friends, and they came Immediately to our
relief No standing back because the sick
ones did not wear shoulder straps, but a
hospital was rented, bedding furnished, and
many delicacies and nice little dishes pre-
pared by fair hands were brought in. which
it is not possible for any man not soldier
to appreciate. And more than this, some
of our sick were taken to their own homes,
where they could have better nursing and
more attention than hospital could give.
Although Atchison has had the name abroad
of being the secession den of Kansas, yet
we, as soldiers, have the pleasure of ex-
pressing our belief to the contrary; and we
assure them that in no place, town or city,
have we been so well received or SO gener-
ously treated. On our tramp across the
broad prairies and sandy deserts of the
great American plains, Atchison will be to
US like an oasis i'll Sahara, towards which
our hearts will ever turn as the green spot
in the soldiers journeyings where living
fountains of pure kindness gush up from
human hearts THOMAS H. B. MURDOCH,

A dispatch from Gen. Halleck announces
that our army took possession of Corinth
on the morning of the 30th ult, the rebels
having previously evacuated, and gone South
to point called Oakland, on the Mobile &
Ohio Railroad. OF course every lover Of
the Union would have preferred that they had
fought US instead of evacuating, but it is a
great triumph for our army as it is. 1t is
another proof that they are afraid of Halleck
and his brave army. Let US bring the mat
ter home: suppose Halleck lad evacuated.
Would not every loyal heart in the Nation
felt that our army and cause were disgraced,
and that we had lost what was almost equiv
alent to battle. When we consider the
advantages of the position they had, and
that Corinth was one of their strongest
points, there is a consolation even in the
thought that they evacuated instead of fight
ing. as we allexpected and hoped they would
do. II is to be hoped that they will find the
''last ditch" before long.

In speaking of proper persons for the va

fall, the claims of Judge L. D. Bailey for a
reelection are entirely passed over. Judge
Bailey is one of the best lawyers in the State,
is sound, discreet, upright and just, and no
better man could be found for the place. He
has not identified himself with any of the
petty quarrels and isms affecting our State;
and we think the best thing the State could
do on that point, would be to re-elect Judge
Bailey White Cloud Chief.

WASHINGTON, June /.
The following dispatch was received at the
War Department this afternoon
FIELD OF BATTLE, June LIZ N.
We have had a desperate battle, in which
the corps of Generals Sumner. Heintzelman
and Keys were engaged against greatly su-
perior numbers.
Yesterday at o'clock the enemy, taking
advantage of terrible storm which flooded
the valley of the Chickahominy, attacked
our right flank. Gen. Casey's division which
was in the front line, gave way unaccounta-
bly,. This caused temporary confusion.
during which their guns and baggage were
lost, but Gems. Heintzleman and Kearney
most galIantly brought up their troops and
checked the enemy, and at the same time l
succeeded by great exertions in bringing
across Gems. Sedgwick's and Richardson's
divisions, who drove back the the enemy at
the point of the bayonet, covering the ground
with bis dead.
This morning the enemy attempted to re-
new the conflict, but was everywhere re-
pulsed.
We have taken many prisoners, among
whom are Gen. Pettigrew and Col. Long.
Our loss is heavy, but the enemy's must
be enormous.
Excepting Gen. Casey's division, the men
behaved splendidly. Several fine bayonet
charges were made.
