McCELLAN's PLANs.-Hon. Henry j. Ray
mond, writing to his paper, the n. Y. Times,
from thu camp before Richmond, on Tuesday
last, sas:
"For.he last day or two there has been an
ominou silence all along the lines. The opin.
ion is beginning to prevail on our side that no
active operations, by way of an advance, are to
be expected for some time to come-but in this
opiniorI do not share. Gen. Mcclellan will un-
questinably take all the time for preparation
which lie deems essential to success-but he
will tale no more. He has full and entire con
hdencein his troops, and will not hesitate to
put thin in motion the moment he is able to
move hem with certainty of being able to
suppor them properly. If it had been posi-.
bic tooring the main body of our army across
the Chckahominy on the night after the battle
OF Far Oaks, they would have been marched at
once uon Richmond. But we had no bridges
the tream was terribly swollen, and crossing
IN fore was simply impossible. We did sue
ceed, hanks to the indonitable energy of Gen.
Sumne, in bringing over men enough to repulse
the emmy and achieve a signal success-but
not elough to make success decisive. We
could low push infantry and cavalry upen the
,eoeisin front of US, but these are not enough.
we INST be able also to bring into full and
compile activity the great bulk of our artillery,
ana ia that all the requisite conditions are not
luihlid. When they will be, it is not for me to
say, cen it l knew; but with such weather as
mat yesterday and to-day, the crisis cannot
nucf longer be delayed"

Fredrika Bremen on the War.

We have seen private note, written by Fred
ricka Bremen, at Stockholm, to friend in this
city, in which she refers, with great enthusiasm
to the heroic events of the war. She saws:
II must tell you how intensely am with Won
and with the North. The last wonderful and
stirring affair of the Monitor and Merrimac
strikes oil the nations of Europe, both by its
dramatic interest and its probable results upon
the economy of naval warfare and defense
Nobody can tell what these results will ultimate.
" prove, but their importance is indubitable.
l, for my part, take a peculiar delight in this
whole affair; first, because of the heroic de-
tense and fall of your brave Cumberland and
her crew, and then, because this wonderful
thing, the Monitor, which came to finish the
overbearng and terrible destroyer, the Merri.
mac, was the work of one of my gallant coun.
trymen, Swede, John Ericsson. There is no
little exutation about him, and the result of the
graphic descriptions of the contest, given in all
our papers, has been to make every man and
woman in Stockholm Unionists in their entbu-
siasm.

giving new push to that of peace-the mes.

SOUTHERN OPINIONS OF JEFP. DAVis-The
Atlanta Georgia. Coufederacy confirms the in.
teigence of violent opposition growing Up
against JEFF. Davis.
The Confederacy proceeds to argue against
the proposed deposition, and in so doing makes
an unanswerable argument against the folly and

whole cause of Secession by this plea for JEFF.

a. Major Stone, who, by the way, is good
tslker, tells some very entertaining stories con.
nected with his captivity in Dixie. The rebel
account of General Prentiss' speech.making at
Memphis is all bosh. The prisoners we're sent
south from Memphis, and at all the Railroad
stations, people collected to see them in large
numbers. ALL men, women and children, being
apparently violent secessionists and full of fight
At one Of the stopping places, very demon.
strstive female Of about forty, skinny, with sharp
features and cracked voice, told the prisoners
shat when the Southern men were all killed the
women would take up arms, and that she, shak.
ing her fist, would fight any Of them herself
One of the prisoners told her that they had q
Federal Colonel aboard who could lick any wo-
man of bis size in Mississippi.
'Fetch him outlet me see him" shouted the
varlike little woman, her eyes flashing and frame
dating with anger. II can whip him myself !"
Thereupon, Federal Colonel, was brought
ont oa the platform, who is six feet four inches
high, and weighs over 800 lbs. This was too
much for the equauimity of the crowd, who sen.
up shout, and even the belligerent secesh
female had to laugh at the sell! ..

The New Constitution has been defeated
in Illinois by large majority-from 10000 to
$1,000. The first returns being unexpectedly
favorable to its adoption. led some persons into
premature cxultation, the joy Of the moment
throwing them so far off their guard as to betray
them into the announcement of it as Demo
cratic triumph. Several persons in this city Of
the vhang-doodle genus, we're determined to get
out the cannon and give voice to their irrepres.
sible Joy. We might, taking license from their
example, announce its defeat as Republican
triumph. We shall not do so, although it was
opposed by Republicans and generally supported
by Democrats. The fact is it is probably Con.
stitution that never ought to be adopted in any
State.
