FROM GEN. McCLELLAN's ARMY-The movements
of McClellan's army have ceased to excite much in-
terest La abiding to the late evacuation by the Fed
erals of Malvern Hil the "Army of the Potomac cor
respondent of the New York Tames under date of
EAugust 10, says:
This retrograde movement deemed expedient, as
reliable information had been received at headquarters
that force of $4,000 of the enemy advancing to
retake possession of the hill Gen. Hookers force was
not sufficient meet the overpowerng numbers of the
enemy, and it was not the plan of Mcclellan to bring
on general engagement at that time. he return OF
our troops camp created considerable surprise among
those who had not been with the advance few hours
previous there was unmistakable evidence that it was
the intention of Mcclellan to permanently occupy the
bill.
1t is not probable any movement will take place here
for some time unless tie enemy make attack. We
do not believe that he will risk battle in front of
line on this side of the river but it would not be
prsing event if he should march large force to meet
our men on the South side The point of interest
is on the South side of the river By means OF the sig
nal corps constant communication is kept up from
to the other shore. One afternoon last week Gen
Mcclellan stood beside signal officer for two hours
sending and receiving messages. Over 200 messages
were Communicated during the dag, Gen. Mcclellan
expressed himself highly pleased with the usefulness ant
success OF the system.

A Hymn Made In the RastiIe.
BY MADAM GUYON.

"A little bird l am,
Shut from the fields of air
And in my cage l sit and sing
To Him who placed me there
WeApleased prisoner to be.
Because, my God, it pleases Thee.
Nought have else to do,
l sing the whole day long;
And He whom l most love to please
Doth listen to my song;
He caught and bound my wandering wing,
But still He bends to hear me sing.
Thou hast an ear to hear,
A heart to love and bless:
And though my potes were e'er so rude,
Thou Would'st not hear the less;
Because Thou Rnowest, as they fall,
That love, sweet love, inspires them all.
My cage confines me round,
Abroad l cannot fly;
But though my wings are closely bound,
My hearts at liberty;
My prison walls cannot control
The flight, the freedom of my soul.
Oh pit is good to soar,
These bolts and bars above,
To Him whose purpose 1 ADORE
Whose providence love;
And in Thy mighty will to find,
The joy, the freedom o. the mind
