THE MOST MAGNIFICENT OVATION EVER
ACCORDED IN THE CITY.

THE MOST MAGNIFICENT OVATION EVER
ACCORDED IN THE CITY.
NEW York, August 22.-The reception
of General Corcoran this afternoon was the
most magnificent ever accorded in this city.
The formal reception by the city authori-
ties took place in Castle Garden. The
Mayor spoke, making the speech of vel,
come, to which General Corcoran replied
in fitting terms.
The popular greeting was marked with
an enthusiasm seldom witnessed anywhere.
The crowd around General Corcoran was
such that it was with difficulty dragged up
Broadway.
Along the entire route of the procession
the jam of the populace was immense. The
military display was fine, considering that
the greater part of our militia force is at
the seat of war. The charitable societies
turned out in large numbers and the fire.
men looked magDi cent. numbering perhaps
$500. As the procession passed the New
England rooms salute was fired from
four~pcunder OF the roof. The ovation
continues until the procession reached the
Generals quarters at the st. Nicholas and
the scene tonight will be fitting sequel to
the stirring events of the day. Gen. G.
may well be proud of his advent into bis
adopted city.

A Confession of Defeat

Among the letters seized on board the
steamer Memphis, lately captured by the
Magnolia, on voyage out Of Charleston
was one from Mr.. Ward, late American
Commissioner to China, to his wife in Paris
1t was very long and very explicit in its
description of the state of affairs in Rich
mond. We are not permitted to copy the
letter at length, because it has been sent to
Washington for the information of the Gov
ernment; but we may say that the substance
of it is this /: That s. the cause of the Con-
federacy is lost "a confession which &C.
ours more than once-and that the late
battles before Richmond, though they may
have been disastrous to the Federal army,
were exceedingly so to the rebels. At the
time the letter was written, Mr.. Ward
estimated the number of wounded men from
th ose battles at no less than fifteen thousand.

The Two Great Monitors.


Captain Ericsson has made a contract
with the government to construct two large
iron-plated ships, which be believes will be
the fastest and best sea boats, the most
completely invulnerable, and the most for
midable for attack, either at long range or
in close quarters as rams, of any ships in
the world.
They will bear general resemblance 10
the Monitor, with such notifications as
have been suggested by experience. One oil
them is to be 800 feet in length, and the
other 34l, with so feet beam. The vertical
sides are six feet in depth, and are to be
protected with iron armor plating, 1917
inches in thickness, backed with four feet OF
solid oak.
The turrets are to be absolutely invul-
nerable. The contract provides that they
shall be two feet 10 thickness, but the con-
tractor has leave to reduce the thickness,
provided he can satisfy the Department that
less will be sufficient. A target has been
constructed oil thickness less than two feet,
and forwarded to Washington for trial but
Captain DahlgreD, who has been sending
his eleven inch bolts through target like
the side of the Warrior, with thirty pounds
OF powder-making clean hole at every
shOt-says that there is no use of firing at
this target of kricsaon's until the fifteen
inch guns are finished The turrets will be
made of sufficient thickness to withstand
the force of the 425-pounders with the max
imum charges of the big guns.
The vessels are to be furnished with more
powerful engines than any now af1oat.
Each ship will have two engines of 100
inches diameter of cylinder, with four feet
stroke, to make 10 revolutions per minute,
with boiler surface of $4,000 feet, and ,l80
feet of CRATE surface. The boilers are oil
the upright water tubular pattern-a modis
6cation of Martins. The propeller's are
Ericsson's patent, Fl y feet in diameter, and
80 feet pitch. The contractors guarantee a
speed OF l6 knots per hour, nearly nineteen
miles.
The armament will consist of 15-inch
guns. and will probably equal in destructive
power that of any French or English ship.
1t is, however, as rams that these vessels
will be most formidable. Where the plates
of the sides meet at the bow, they form an
iron wedge 81 inches thick at the base, ard
terminating in sharp edge. This wedge is
sustained by the plates behind it, l31a
inches in thickness, six feet in depth, and
extending the whole length of the vessel,
forming the most powerful butting instru.
ment it is possible to conceive of. Capt.
Ericsson says it will split an iceberg"

George Francis Trains Speech.

The following is passage from the speech
of Train, before the Brotherhood of St.
Patrick, in London:
Look at America-Our army is yours.
Union is as essential to you as to Us. Ire.
land for ever. Three cheers for the land OF
the brave. The spirit of Ireland is again
alive. You cannot crush it. Nine times
highlands confscation edict has Numbered
upon her people. Seven centuries of con.
tinued injustice, outrage, murder yet Iree
land lives again in The 10000 Irish soldiers
in the American army. Loud cheers
The Sixty ninth still cheers fer Corcoran.
The Chicago Montgomery Guard still cheers
Tor Illinois and the West as they fought at
Lexington Shields was backed by Irish at
Winchester and the Irish brigade at Fair
Oaks stopped the rebels in their advance.

you live your lives oyer again in the army
of the Constitution. loud cheers) Our
army is your army. Let Catholic and Pros
testant combine for Union. We do not in.
quire, when the Irishman volunteers, whether
he be Protestant or Catholic. (Cheers.)
Unite! and by the famine graves,
By your sres' sacred dust,
You shall not, will not, long be slaves
You'll break your chains accurst.
The tyrant Saxon soon shall quake
At banded millions might;
The time is nigh /, arouse awake
For Ireland's sake, urite!
Englands downfall commences when
America closes up the ranks, and peace
cements Union, and perpetuates republics
and universal sufrage-when rank is but the
guinea stamp, and man is man for al
that. These cries must shortly come into
fashion Canada for the Canadians, Aus.
tralia for the Australians, and Ireland for
lrishmen. Loud cheers.)

News Of Our Own State.

ANoKA claims to be the banner county of
the State, in the way of furnishing volun-
teers for the war. The Republican says
that, in three days. time, out of popula-
ton Of two thousand, she has furnished
eighty-four volunteers, or twenty-five more
than her quota. This is not all her citi-
zens have subscribed to the bounty fund

The harvest in this county and vicinity is
nearly closed, but the wheat crop in many
fields, we fear, will be considerably injured
by the wet weather. In addition to the
heavy rains of last week, rain fell again on
Wednesday night in perfect torrents. The
wheat that remained uncut last week be-
came so dead ripe that great deal has
been lost in cutting, and that in shocks will
certainly sprout unless extraordinary exer-
tions are made to save it-and hands are
too scarce to perform much extra labor.

TROOPS POURING OUT OF
RICHMOND.
THEIR FORCE ESTIMATED AT
100000 MEN.
II Flank .MOTE.WEI"T
AGAINST POPE.

Especial dispatch to the New York
Herald. ]--PooLEsv1LLE, Md, August 10.
The following narration was given me by
civilian, who arrived from Richmond on
Sunday:
He left Richmond on Wednesday, the
18th inst, travelling to Sections Junction,
twenty. seven miles north of the city, by
private conveyance thence by rail to Cor
louisville; and then on foot to the Potomac.
At the time be left, troops were pouring
out of the city, on the Virginia Central
Railroad, in such numbers that it was inn
possible for civilians to procure passage.
All the troops around Richmond we're in
motion towards the north, while others were
passing through in cars for the south--sup-
posed to be that part of the army between
Petersburg and the city.
1t was known at that time that McCel-
Ian had begun the evacuation OF Harrisons
Landing. Arriving at Sections junction
he saw large encampments extending from
the south side of the Pamunky river to sew.
eral miles north of the Junction, and also
from the Junction in westerly direction
up the valley of the North Anna river.
Small camps were visible at several 10.
calities along thy railroad from the juno.
ton to the crossing of the common road
I from Fredericksburg, where another large
body were also encamped.
At Louisa Court House was another
large body, and thence to Gordonsvile sew
eral regiments were strung along the road
in camps every two or three miles.
From Gordonsville, where there were not
more than six or seven regiments, a heavy
force could be seen camping in the bills,
stretching to the northeast and then in the
direction of Orange Court House.
He stopped some hours at Gordonsville,
and during that time saw not less than ten
trains arrive over the Central Railroad
from the South and the Charlottesville Rail-
road from Lynchburg, those from Richmond
bringing troops and supplies.
My informant, Judging from what he saw,
says the whole confederate army in Virginia
is by this time in positions on the Virgins
Central Railroad, and that it numbers near.
ly 100000 men.
Stonewall jackson was said to have left
Gordonsville, but no one knows his where.

Our informant passed through STANDARDS.
vile, and saw quite heavy force at that
point. They were not encamped, and seem
ed prepared to move. More troops were
said to be marching to the same point from
! Charlottesville and Gordonaville
This locks as if they contemplated flank
movement against Pope's right. If so, it
will probably be led by Jackson.
