sad there were conflicting reports ana IL WAS iihPoS
.ls n cet Official informstion-a pretty sure proof
,bo, tho Rebels were whipped. They claimed that

lass ;ovful. - One Of our correspondents saw
Gen. Mcclellan on Wednesday. He came on
hoard the mail boat as she reached Harrison's
Landing and burriediy passed into the cabin
with Gen. Patterson, who came up Oh the boat. AS
he walked aft Gen. Mcclellan was gesticulatng
violently with his clerched hand, but his remarks
were not heard. Subsequently, in reply to Gen.
Patterson, Gen. Mcclellan said: " We have fought
a battle every day for the last week, and whipped

Gen. Mcclellan remained but few minutes on
the boat. - Our dates by mail are down 70
Friday morning. At noon, Thursday, the Rebels
arpeared in force four miles from McClellan's front,

all They estimate the Rebel loss in the late battles
at $4,000. These prisoners say that Stonewa Jack

head of the troops. They say the Confederates are

The rapid and mysterious movements Of Socre-
ray Seward, just before the call for more soldiers
have given rise to suspicion that it if not altogether
the state Of the war against the Rebels that cansed
the demand but that the remote possibility Of foreign
interference had something to do with it. OF course
the Rebel sympatbzers will make ont Of the seven
days fight before Richmond a splendid triumph for
the Rebels, and under its prestige bring their
woghtest influence to bear upon the English and
Wrench Governments urging them to intervene 1t
is naturally argued that, in either Government
should undertake the job, the 100000 men just
called for would be very handy to have on hand.
