Sunday Night Dispatches.
From Washington.


WASHINGTON, July 2O.-A special dispatch to
the N. Y. Herald says:
Halleck does not come to Washington as chief
of the armies. He may be Secretary of War,
but it is believed Stanton will retire, thus reliev-
ing the President of embarrassment, and that
Lincoln will appoint Banks as Secretary of War,
with Halleck as military adviser.
Another dispatch says:
Lincoln, in his late visit to the army, asked
Mcclellan if he desired command of the whole
United States army. but Mcclellan preferred to
retain his present command.
1t Is also stated that the chief command was
offered to Pope, and declined.
A free cOlOred man escaped here from Rich
mond. He says the rebel loss in killed, &C.. in
the seven days battles, was $1,000. The rebel
army numbered about $50 900.
Gen. Ewell was severely wounded in the neck.
Joe Johnson had experienced n relapse, and NOR
~tifcation of his wound was feared.
A flag of truce went TIP the river with Gen.
Dix aboard, and met the rebel Gen. Hill to make
permanent arrangements for the exchange of pris-
Oners. The interview was satisfactory, but no
conclusion arrived at. The flag of Truce will 90
again to meet Gen Lee.
Richmond papers of the 18th inst, that Gen.
Twiggs was at Augusta Island on the 18th. An
Englisman representing himself as Duke of Som
erset, was found at headquarters four days ago
under suspicious circumstances He stated that

cent battles. He was sent North.

BRIGADIER GENERAL W. I. H. BRooKs-The
Cincinnati Commercial says: Among the regular
officers who 50 greatly distinguished themselves
IN the battles before Richmond. we are happy to
mention Brigadier General W. T. II. Brooks, of
Smiths division, commanding a brigade of vol
unteers. Readers will remember that he was
wounded on the 18th ult., in the battle of Savage
Station. Gen. Brooks is a native Of Columbiana
county, Ohio, and is regarded as one of the most
brilliant and capable Brigadiers in the army of the
Potomac.
The Generals in that army indeed. who are
considered the finest samples of military charac
ter in il. are Generals Franklin, Smith, Hancock,
Burns. Brooks ard Davidson. They are rated
che most skillful, enterprising and dashing in the
arm-wit6Out detracting from the merits of such
fighting bra7es as Sumner, Hcintzelman, Sedg-
wick, Hooker, Kearney, and Fitz John Porter.
Gen. BrOOks's entire military record is highly
creditable. He graduated at v est Point IN IS4l,
served in Florida unit, lS43, when he went with
the first troops to Corpus Christi, and was in the
battle OF Palo Alto, Rsseca de la Palma, and
Monterey. where he distinguished himself under
Gen. Taylor. Subsequently, he Joined Gen. Scott
At Tampico, and was with him until the end OF
tie war, participating in the bIttles of Cerro
Curb, COntrerss. Cherubusco, and the City of
Mexico. At Monterey ne was Acting Assistant
A.jutant General on the staff of General Gar
Land. aud had his horse killed under him. From
Tampico 10 the City Of Mexico, he occupied a
similar position on the staff of Gen. T~wiggs--sec-
ond division of regulars, which never met with a
reverse. Being a Lieutenant in the line, he was
breveted Captain for g~allantry at Monterey. and
for distinguished conduct at CoDtreras and Cher
ubuscO was hreveted Major. Pending the battle
of CerrO GOrdo, he was detailed on account of
h. peculiar merits to make a difficult reconnois-
safce, and he recommended the route by which
the army afterwards marched to turn the enc
my's flank. Gen. Scott said he was one of the
MOST promising officers in the service.
After the Mexican war, he remained in the
army With the rank Of Captain, but after marry
ing. he thought Of resigning, when the civil war
commenced, and he sought service He was ap-
pointed Brigadier. and has reflected cledit upon
the Office and the country. Ii is very gratifying
% our State pride" that Ohio should be repre-
sented in the army OF the Potomac by two such
brilliant Generals as Burns and Brooks, both of
whom have richly deserved promotion.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2O.-A special dispatch to
Forney's Press. dated Memphis, July l6. says:
The Grenada Appeal reports the rebel iron
clad gunbOat Arkansas, under command of Capt
Dogan, came down from Yazoo river on the 18th
and ran by POrter's feet which lies above Vicks-
burg. and anchored under the batteries surround
ing the city.
The Appeal says the ram ran down several
Federal war vessels and disabled many more.
One of our vessels was blown up.
The Arkansas is a very formidable gunboat,
being plated with halt-inch iron. She has very
heavy armament.
The rebel loss is set down at ten killed and
thirteen wounded, The Federal loss is not
known.
A special to the Mobile Advertiser states that
the Richmond Inquirer says that it is no longer
doubtful that our lines have been brought closer
to Richmond, but that a large force has been
left in the immediate front of the enemy as OBJ
structions.
Gen. Stewart last Monday. with a few guns
and artillery, made a circuit around McClellan's
position, reaching James river below him. and
opened fire on the feet, sinking and cripoling
several.

WASHINGTON, July l9.-It is known that the
President has recently visited Lieut.. Gen. Scott,
and subsequently Gen. Mcclellan and the army
of the Potomac, and now he has the benefit CT
their experience, as well as that of Gen. Pope,
Gen. Mitchell. and other distinguished military
officers.
becomes important in this connection. The cur
rent belief is, that he will not take the field, but
be entrusted with important duties in this city.
The consolidation of the corps now comprising
the army of Virginia, and other ascertained ar
engagements, warrant the conclusion that mea-
suTes are i'm the course of to eve
rywhere secure unity of action, or, in other
words, "a specific plan of operations. The better
to insure success. and to prevent all conflict of
jurisdiction and jealousies whatever The recent
published orders Of Gen. Pope are highly popular
with military men, as well as civilians, and their
execution will remove much complaint on the
part of the soldiers.
The overland mail service has been suspended
in consequence of the removing the stock, pre-
urinary to changing the route. which will strike
of Julesburg, and follow the Cherokee trail
through Bridger's Pass to Salt Lake, and thence
to the Pacific. The arrangement saves $50 miles
travel, and protect the coaches from Indian dep
relations. The telegraph wires, it is said, will
necessarily be changed to the new route line after
the - mail to California leaves on the 2lst.
The overland service will be resumed.
James s. HallOwell has been appointed disburs-
ing officer of the Post Office Department, and
superintendent of the building, in place of E. j.
Hall, dismissed.

Our MILITARY HosPITAL.-On Saturday we
paid a visit for the first time to the City Hospital,
which has been used for the last fifteen months
for our sick and wounded soldiers. We were
agreeably disappointed to see the n~eatness, order
and system displayed in the arrangement and
management of the hospital. The building is
well calculated for the purpose, the rooms being
large and the ventilation excellent. The building
stands high, which gives a good current of air at
ali times, making il pleasant, eyed in the warm
est DAYS. The hospital is divided into wards,
each ward being under the immediate charge of
a ward stewart and two men nurses, educated for
the purpose, and we are assured that men are
much better for this purpose than women. The
bedsteads are new, and look comfortable, each
one having a good husk mattrass and clean sheets
and blankets. The building is so divided that
our own soldiers occupy one portion and the re-
bel prisoners another, each distinct and separate
throughout, but in all other respects no difference
Is made in the treatment. The food provided is
the best kind, the same as is used on any table in
the city-the table furniture being cheap stone
and glass ware, looks clean and nice. The
cooking is done in one kitchen, mostly by men,
but sly girls being engaged in the hospital for
ironing, &c. The Matron is a Sister OF Provi-
dence, who has a general superintendent and di
rection of the hospital. This hospital can &C
commOdate $50 at one time. There has been
treated since il was opened in May. 1861, about
1900 cases, of all classes of diseases. To DIR.
Kitchen, the Surgeon in charge, are those who
have been so well cared for in this institution in
deb;ed, for the excellent arrangements and man.
agement adopted. He has entire charge and con-
troll, not only in the treatment of the sick. but in
furnishing supplies. OF the large number ad-
mitted, but few. propOrtiOnately have died. We
saw three cases OF gun shot wounds through the
leg. two Of which fractured the bones. The Doc
tor is trying to save the legs from amputation,
and is likely to succeed. This hospital is a great
credit to our Government. Our sick are better
cared for. and nursed. and have better prospects
for recovery than they r~lld have even in a pri-
vate family, as experience aud careful men are
constantly in charge. We E.sh that all our brave
soldiers in the army of the Union, who have been
wounded on the battlefield, OF contracted disease
from exposure, could be as well cared for, and
provided for, as are those in our city hospital un-
der charge of DIR. Kitchen.

WASHINGTON, July l9.-The Herald's dispatch
says:
Lieut.. Col. Pierson, of the 43d New York regi-
ment. arrived here to-day. He LETT the front of
our army on the Peninsula yesterday morning.
At that time there were no forces of the enemy
within fourteen miles of our lines on this side of
the James river, but a balloon reconnaissance
disclosed a large concentration of the rebels on
the south side in the vicinity of City Point.
The army was represented to be in good condi-
ton and with confidence unimpaired in General
Mcclellan.
1t is believed that James river will be blocka-
ded by the rebels at theybluffs of ClarmOnt.
The Senat. failed to confirm a large number
of nominations which fell within the adjourn
ment. Among them were Ward Burnett, G. A.
Scroggs, Edwin H.. Webster, and Col. Carroll, to
be Brigadier Generals.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 18th, appears
alarmed at the order of our War Department,
concentrating the forces of Mcdowell. Fremont,
and Banks, under Gen. Pope, and remarks of the
latter that he is VIGOROUSLY one of the most
dangerous of the Union commanders; an officer
of great activity and daring, and is very apt to
do very unexpected things. 1t adds that the TO
ray into Orange county, and the destruction of
The railroad bridge over the Rapidan, by the en-
envy, Is a challenge on the part of POPE that our
Generals have now taken up.
The Enquirer, commenting on the threatening
aspect Of McClellan's operations, says: 1--WE
must dig-dig-dig, or Mcclellan will dig into
Richmond. The spade can only be conquered
with the spade, and the shovel will always defeat
the musket."
z Of President Lincoln's recent visit to the army
the Enquirer says: "a dirty trio-Lincoln, Stan
ton and Winfield ~Scott-passed by Old Point on
Thursday last, en- route for McClellan's head
quarters at or near Berkely. A gentleman who
saw the steamer which conveyed this dirty trio
of Yankee negro stealers. says there was a band
OF music on board, and many flags and streamers
huttering TO the breeze"

ceived. They pitched in, as they are wont to do
when there is a chance for a fight, and in nine
teen hours had 4S0 men organized and in this
