Gen. McClclIan's Movements.

II is evident that Gen. Mcclellan is max.
ing or has made an important movement with
his entire army, but opinions differ widely
rs to the direction he will take, and it is to
be hoped that the enemy is equally at loss
for correct opinion on tho subject. II is
said that his real designs have been admira-
bly, concealed by fcints, ono OF which We
take to be the advance to Malvern Hill, from
which tho enemy inferred that ho was about
to 60 back over the route Of his retreat and
approach Richmond in that direction. and
sent down hundred thousand men to tight
him ut Malvern Hill. The telegraph very
sagely assured the country that Gen. McClcl-
Ian really desired to fight great battle with
the rebels at Malvern Hill, but that his mes
sengers took the wrong road, and 50 his army
did not move forward FROM llarrison's Land.
ing in time. Tho rebels will probably find
out what all these movements ard apparent
blunders mean in good time. O..
The Petersburg (rcbeD Express, so long
ago as July 90, said
From certain movements on the river
the general belief is that Mcclellan is grad
ually and stealthily cyacuating. Not one
half the tents and other appurtenanccs OF
camp life arc now discernib!o that were
three weeks ago. 1t is also noticeable fact,
that on some evenings when the vessels are
counted, they number greatly more than
they do tho next morning when another
count is made. They arc proycrbally willy
and cunning people, and our generals will
have to keep their eyes wide open by day
and by night to DO fully apprised Of their
movements"

Resolutions of tho N. York Cham
Dor of Commerce, &c.

Tho resolutions recently adopted by tho
combined committee of New York citizens,
on the subject Of tho prosecution OF tho war;
arc Of remarkable Significance ut tho pres
ent time. They ara tho deliberate utterance
of men hitherto connected with oil political
parties, and now represent five different as
sociations. We copy all but tho first two
resolutions, as follows:
Resolved, That tho timo has fully como
when we must strike for our national lie.
using every weapon God has given us, and
calling to our aid every person who can DO
drawn from the rebels or added to our cause.
That proclamation Of tho Commandcr-in-
Chief, declaring tho provisions OF the recent
law of Congress to be tho sentiments OF tho
Government, and that they will DO enforced,
would secure to the Union cause thousands
of laborcrs, thousands Of fighting men, and
millions of cooperating wcll-wishcrs. That
the welfare Of our country, the lives of loyal
soldiers, and the happiness of loyal families
all over the FREQ States, demand the procla-
nation.
Resolred, That every days delay compile
Gates our relations, both foreign and domes-
tic, gives the rebels strength, and is wasting
hundreds Of good and true men; and 1t is
far better that every rebel should perish than
that one loyal soldier should die.
And therefore it is that we, with entire
unanimity, most respectfully and most car
nestly call upon the President to act in his
capacity US COmmander-n.Ch Chief of the army
and navy of the United States, and imme-
diately issue the order which will take from
the rebels their great source of strength,
while it will diminish their army by calling
to the defence of their homes largo numbers
of rebel officers and men. And we assure
the President that in this, as in every act Of
his administration, the people of the free
States will sustain tho policy, while the
whole civilized world will applaud the proc
lama,iOn Of emancipation.

and in Others OF its Offices; who, by his long
cherished Investigations, as to the connection
of Weymouth's voyage in 1903, with the
shores of the Kcnnebec, and tho founding oil
she first English colony on the shores OF New
England with tho exploration OF the Andres

On my arrival ] was informed by Com
mander w. d. Porter that yesterday morn
ing at 9 o'clock the enemys iorees, under
Gen. Brcckinridge, attacked Gen. Williams
and drove in his picke:s, &c. Gen. Williams
having had ample warning, oil was prepared
for him.
The fight was continued with great encr-
Cy on both sides until 10 A. NJ, by which
time the enemy had been driven back two or
three miles, but unfortunately the gallant
Gen. Williams, while cheering on his men,
received minnie ball through the heart.
Gen. Williams had informed Lieut.. Com
manding Ransom the evening before Of his
plans. and requested him not TO fro gun
until he notified him. and when he did so
our eunboats, the Kineo and Kntahdin, op-
ened with fine effect, throwing their shell d.
rectly into the midst of the enemy, produc-
inc great dismay and confusion among them.
Lieut.. Ransom had an office on the State
House, which overlooked the adjacent coun-
try, and could direct the fro Of every she'll.
AS soon as the enemy was rcpulsed, Com
mandcr Porter with the gunboats went up
stream after the ram Arkansas. which was
lying about fvo milesabovc, apparently afraid
to take her share in the conflict.
According to prcconcerted plan. Ms no

probably disabled some OF her machinery or

OF her presenting weak point towards him
and loaded his guns with incendiary shells.

gush of fire came out of her side,- and from
that moment it was discovered that she was
on fire, and he continued his cSertions to pro-
vent it from being cxtinguished.
They backed her ashore and made q limo
fast, which soon burnt, and she swung oil
into the river, where she continued to burn
until she blew up with tremendous ex-
plosion, thus ending the career Of tho last
iron clad ram Of the Mississippi.
There were many persons on the banks OF
the river witnessing the fight, in which they
anticipated triumph for seccssia. but on tho
return Of the Essex not soul was to DO

Learning tho Tricks Quick.

Sometime since tho town Of North Bcr-
wick voted to pay bounty of two hundred
dollars to each recruit volunteering TO make
up the quota OF that town under the Prcsi-
dents call for 800, 900 three years yolun-
teer.
After enough men had volunteered to
make up the full quota, or nearly SO, an
other town meeting was called for the pur-
pose, as we learn, of reconsidering the vote
offering tho bounty; and the town at this
meeting did, so wo arc informed, reconsider
its former vote, the sccossionists in certain
parts Of the town turning out in numbers
sufficient to break the public faith OF the
town.

Democratic County Convention.

Tho Representatives Of the York County
Democracy. made up principally OF men
who don't believe in the war and have no
faith in tho future Of our country-of men
who don't believe in niggcrs and hate an
abolitioni.t rs they do the devil, and who,
moreover consider il tho first duty OF every
full bloodcd loco foco to stismatize every
body who darcs to differ with them as an
abolitionist or Black Republican, met in
convention at Alfred on Tuesday last, the
10Th day Of this month. Tho day was per-
fectly delightful, the music (by tho Sandtord
Band) was charming, and tho convention
largo. Tho nominations were made with
little trouble, the friends Of the various can
didates not sccmlng to consider it worth
while to mako much of fight, for such
doubtful honor.
In tho afternoon tho convention was adj
dressed by several speakers - the first OF
whom was Capt. Goodwin OF Kenbunkport.
This man is an unconditional traitor IL the
words he uttered were the sentiments OF his
heart. l, is not in our power to give YER
batim report Of his speech, and we should
not have the heart to give tho sickeninS de-

and will. undoubtedly mako his mark as a

tho delivery indicated most Enthusiastically,
that il was recital Of matter previously
committed to memory, but this should not
detract from whatever merit it might have
possessed. What We find fault with-vhat
all the loyal men who listened to it objected
to and found fault with, was the maudlin
sympathy he expressed for the South, tho
non expression Of sympathy for the North,
the gandilOquent laudation Of the Demo-
cratic party and disposition to make party
fealty paramount to the calls Of country and
the demands Of patriotism.
