the whole decidedly favorable, particularly by those
who are acquainted with The advanced state of our
preparations for attack. Unless the Rebels had de-
termned to evacuae their Capitol, it was, as we are
assured, military necessity for them TO make sor-
tie, for which they would of course choose their own
time and points Of attack.

forces which the enemy must have concentrated for
bis purpose, especially after division had fallen
out Of line, was quite much could reasonably be
looked for under the circumstances.
People here are not displessed that it WAS the
soldiers Of Heintzelman, Kearney, Hooker and
Sickles, the same that fought at williamsburg who
won fresh laures on the Chickahomny.
THE RETREAT AT CoRINTH.

Stonewall Jackson, whose capture is now not
improbable has been successful In his advance than
he is likely to he retiring. His tardy operations,
since he gave up the pursuit of Gen. Banks, are
inexpicable unless upon the theory that his have
been enervated by the spoiId they have captured.
His force ID In the lgbtes, marching order if we
may believe prifoDers ana deseTsters. Each soldier
carries bis own clothing, ratiops, and shelter upon
his back, feeding himself and horse, if be have one

has but six wagons, which are chiefly filed with
ammunition. Banks, with a third as many men,
