which was to present Rev. j. W. Hedges
with a testimonial esincive of the high

Of this Government, and in relation 20 the
emineutly wise and patriotic action of

Nostalgia.

DR.. Hunt writes to the Buffalo Express
the following as his experience with Nos
talgian OF home-sickness in;the army:
You have learned, perhaps, Of that
form Of camp home-siekness which devel-
ops itself into insanity, and is written
down in the books as nostalgia Itisa sim
gular and painfully interesting mental
phenomenon. One Of them only has been
fully developed under my eye. The man
came here almost entirely recovered from
fever, and claiming himself to be entirely
we'll refusing medicines and talking very
nationally about everything but home. Day
after day, as the boat came up to the
dock, ne would pack his kAapsack quietly,
say goodbye to his ward-mates, and march
down 10 the wharf only to be disappointed
and find out, as he more forcibly than ele-
gantly expressed it, that "it was not the
right boat-it was another id boat.
At nights, in his sleep, he talked eOntin-
uOusly Of wife and child; dRytimes he
said little, but finally made confdant of
me, and said that all night and all day
he dreamed and thought Of home, and
sometimes, perhaps, it made him light
headed He had been year in the SER
vice, and always gay and happy to the
period Of his recent illness. His family
lived in New York, and one morning had
the happiness to see Charley march down
to the boat with his neatly slung knapsacki
and it was the right boat that time. He
has been home fortnight now, and I have
no doubt will return to his regiment good
soldier. To have kept him here would
have enedd, probably, in suicide.

A letter to the Tribune, dated James

beleagured army Of Mcclellan.
Gen. Burnside had made all his prepar-

advance was to have been given, but on
that day dispatches were received which
changed the complexion of things. They
announced the results of the series of bat
ties before Richmond, and urged Burnside
to send part of his force to Mcclellan.

Orders were carried in hot haste; freight

nislnrnI sheets.

John W. Kees, editor Of the Circleville,
Ohio, Watchman, an obscure but disloyal
sheet, has been arrested and his paper sup
pressed. This is quite right, but the poll
cy should be extended to other organs Of
disloyalty IN Ohio and elsewhere. The
Crisis, published at Columbus, By Sam Me-
dary, has considerable sale among read
ers Of the rebel persuasion. It threatens
resistance to the tax law, and rails at the
Government as vehemently as the papers
Of Richmond. The Cincinnati Enquirer
and Chicago Times circulate largely among
the rebels, who find comfort and encourage
ment in the columns Of these delectable
sheets. There is a newspaper published
at Carlinyille, Illinois, the Spectator OBJ
scure but venomous in its disloyalty. Tne
military authorities viii do well to pay
some attention to these organs Of treason.

The Federal Loss in the six Days
Fighting.

Correspondence n. Z Times.l
OUR Loss IN KILLED, WOUNDED AND PRIs-
oNERs
In all the engagements, Mechanicsyille and
Gaines Mill included, can hardly fall far
short, or much exceed Twenty-Five thousand
men. Our loss in prisoners is heavy, the
enemy cavalry making easy captiyes of
thousands Of stragglers who lined the
roads in our rear, and besides these We
have left thousands of wounded in their
hands. Their loss must be at least as
heavy, and probably heavier in killed and
wounded than our own, but in prisoners it
fell far short, though we have taken about
two thousand from them. Included in our
loss we're many Of our finest officers, the
number Of line, company and staff officers
killed and disabled, being unusually large.
Our loss of guns is stated at forty, and we
have taken from the enemy perhaps two
thirds that number. To compute the value
Of the property-stOres, cars, ammunition,
&c.-destroyed by us in our ehangeO Of po-
sition, is impossible, with the scanty data
have at hand, but it must amount to two
or three millions Of dollars.
