A gentleman who left the White House on

kept over that property to prevent its use by
our wounded men, who suffer greatly for the

Hon. Z. NJ Stanton, Seretary Of War:
The enemy has fallen back 10 Tapello, ffty

road.
Gen. Pope estimated the Rebel loss from cal =

A pl rson VINO was employed In the Conted-

cannot muster much over $4,000. Some Of the
fresh graves on the road have been opened ard

that our men we're fred upon from private

There Is no evidence that any large force
was rent from Richmond 10 the Valley of Viz
ginia, with view to an attack upon Genera
Banks and al irruption into Marylard. The
truth seems to be, that the rebel force in tht
Valley has been large all along, although no

itself will expire soon BY It's own Limitation,

The offer Of the President, ratified As II

them Of great importance.
In the nrst place, It was national Reputation
