..ates that for ten days after the battle IN
Cont s of Richmond, one thousand reb2l

thousand conscripts had been raised in
each of the States of Tennessee and
Georgia, since the 9th of July, and pro-
rortionBte number in other extreme south
ern States. He heard the adjutant of
Col. Goodwin, who commands the port
Of Salisbury, and who had just come from
Richmond, state, that the adjutant of Gen.
Hill told him that the rebels had $4,000
troops engaged in the battle of seven
days. He was accompanied by DR..
Stone, taken prisoner at Bull Run, and
who corroborates the statement SO far as
relates to the movements of troops. On
their way to Richmond they passed long
trains of empty cars on their way south.
Gen. Mcclellan spent the entire day
Monday in visiting the different hospi-
tails, speaking words of encouragement to

three 11-inch shot, from her bow guns
