FROM GEN McCLEhLAN's ARMY

FROM GEN McCLELLAN'S ARMY.
The Tribune says Gen. McClellan's entire
army is making an important movement, but at
what particular point we are not at liberty to
indicate. We may expect stirring news at
any moment and there seems to be every
confidence tina, it will be such as will fill the
loyal States with JOY.
The Fortress Monroe correspondent Of the
Tribune, under date Of the 18th, states that
for the last forty light hours transports load
ed heavily with troops are coming down James
river, and without stopping here have gone
directly up the bay to one of the rivers lead
ing into Virginia
The same correspondent also says that the
pontoon bridges which went up the river yes
terday, accompanied by very large force OF
engineers, sappers and miners, are deslgned
for the Chickahominy, and is not wholly a
matter Of conjecture The inferance, not only
from this, but from variety OF other cir
eumstances and facts, is that the great body
of the army of the Potomac is about to with
draw down the peninsula, while the remainder
embark on transport and proceed down the
river.
The Harrsons Landing correspondent OF
the Times states under date Of the 18th that
the following returned prisoners had reach d
there: Mai Gen. Me- all Brlgadier General
Reynolds, Major r. ONeal OF Mehghe :
Brgad, Col. Stmson Of the lth New jersey 4,
Lieut.. Col Wm. &. Starr, DR.. James Moore

800 prisoners were not long since confined OF

consequence of poor and insufficient food

WHAT MAINE BOYS Can Do. - Some
months ago the British iron steamship Karnak
was wrecked on coral reef near the Bahamas,
and became a total loss, An eastern paper
says that after lying at the bottom Of the sea
for some weeks, inhabited by fish and turtles,
two enterpising young men from Bath, Maine,
-Messrs. Kimball and Arnold-bought the
wreck for $S25, thinking they could fish
up, that amount of old iron from her. John
Bull pocketed the 1925, and thought Jona-
than greener than the sea weed for making
such a purchase The purchasers explored
her with submarine armor, plugged up her
holes, pumped her out, raised her to the sur
face, took her to Nassau. New Providence,
the nearest port, have rugged her with sails
as a barque, at an expense Of $4,000 more,
and soon she will be in NewYork, when after
putting in a new boiler, (the rest Of her ma
c1inery being good) she will be worth $75,
600 to 100000 at least.
The Quincy Herald of tho ! lth says that
an officer of the Hannibal aud 81. Joseph rail-
road, from Macon, Mo, Saturday morning,
states that twenty six rebel prisoners we're
shot there that morning for breaking their pa
role. The same person states that Others
would probably suffer the same fate this
morning
/ The rebels are in strong force on James and
Danfuskie Islands.
