FORTRESS MONROE, July 7.
The steamer Juniata while on her way
up to Harrison's Landing yesterday, and
within about four miles Of that place, was
fred into by the rebels and one man in
jured, but none killed. The firing was
from six field pieces on the opposite side Of
the river and little below the federal ar
my. The steamer was aground at the
time. Our gun boats went down and drove
of the rebels.
A reconnoitering party was sent out
yesterday and found the rebel pickets
within one mile of ours, which leads to
the opinion that another battle is at hand.
Breastworks arc being thrown up at
Hampton, about two and half miles from
Fortress Monroe, by our forces encamped
at that place. The work is progressing
vigorously.

Gen. Burnside has arrived here. He
is looking well and appears in fine spirits
The President arrived here at an early hour
this morning, accompanied by several Off
GERS. Among them one was believed to be
Gen. Halleek, who had short interview
with Gen. Burnside and then proceeded up
the James river
Flag Officer Wilkes arrived here this
morning, and many rumors are ahoat as to
the object of his visit
The Tenth N. Y. Regiment, which has
been reported as badly cut to pieces, had
only nine killed, forty-four wounded, and
thirty missing. These are many who, in
various ways, got separated from their
regiments, and are now daily returning,
thus greatly diminishing the numbers who
have been reported lost.
There have been two or three arrests
here this morning among the suffers and
civilians, who had received orders to leave
and had disregarded them.
The fortifcations at Yorktown are being
put in perfect order.

MoCIeHan's seige Guns---The wounded of
his Army.


A correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Press writes from Fortress Monroe, July
9Th:
aFirst as to the siege guns. I never
saw, and never saw any one who did see,
any other siege guns in the army of the
Potomac than eight or ten long S0-pound
PARROTS. These were mounted in battery
on the extreme right Of the army, and all
day Friday, June q, did splendid work in
shelling the rebels across the Chickahom-
my. These guns were all saved. I saw
the whole Of them late on Sunday after
noon, five miles across the White Oak
Swamp bridge, on ground which the enemy
did not hold for forty-eight hours after
wards. They were rapidly proceeding to-
ward the James River. Your readers may
rely upon the safety of these guns.
aThen, as to wounded relatives of people
in the North. Every battlefield and hos
pital which was formed for the reception
Of its wounded during the retreat, is in
possession Of the enemy. If a soldier was
killed, his body now lies on rebel ground.
If he was wounded in such a way that he
could not walk, there being no ambulances
to remove any wounded men, he Of course
fell into the hands Of the enemy IF he
were wounded SO that he could walk with
out help, or by the aid of a crutch, or by
leaning on a friend's shoulder, even though
his weakness compelled him to rest at every
half mile, his safety may be relied upon.
The army, in aggregate, marched very
slowly, but ten miles in tWenty-fOur hours,
and these wounded men came struggling
to the hospital boats at Harrison's house
during all my stay there, and no doubt
they are struggling in still. From the
nature Of the wound the safety Of the men
can be ascertaiHed. As to well men, the
mails viii soon be opened, and they, of
course, at the first opportunity, win bring
home letters telling their whereabouts.
avery regiment in the army, with
scarcely an exception, was engaged in one
or another Of the weeks battles, and all
did braYely. The troops have the most
perfect confidence in their Generals, and
they all deserve it; for q braver set Of Of
fcers never commanded an army. The
men almost worship Mcclellan, and would
do even impOssibilities if he commanded
them.
