Gen. Mcclellan has advanced his lines
down 20 the Chickahominy and no fears are
now entertained Of a flnk movement in that
direction.
By noon to-day Gen. Mcclellan expected
to have his position 50 fortified as to bid de-
iauce to the enemy IN any shape they might
choose to come.
The steamer Massachusetts, from the Gulf
arrived last evening. having on board five
lieuteuants and two sergeants captured at
Shiloh. While in prison at Macon they
exchanged their own for confederate uniforms
and walked to the river where they found
boat IN which they h1ated down the river
until they were picked up by one OF our
gunboats 500 miles from Macon.
The IIeralds letter Of the Oh says some
of the gunboats have gone up the river to-day
and others will soon foIlowA ccrtainlgenoral
who was looked for to-day has not yet arrived
but we have hope Of seeing him before the
going down Of the sun.
\ large number Of naval officers are hore
to report on their vessels which are hourly
expected. This great point OF interest Is be-
coming more and more important. \ few

An army letter to the Herald states that
the rebel prisoners say that long before the
evacuation Of Corinth, troops from Beaure-
gard army began t. arrive at Richmond,
and continued to arrive steadily until that
event took place, by which time 80 900 had
arrived, and subsequent % the evacuation
- 600 more arrived from Clrinth, that
these IS 600 are the flower Of Bcauregard's
army. They are the best troops Of the old
army at Manassas. and have not, as a gcner
al thing, been engaged in the late battles,
but are held in reserve that the whole
number Of troops at Richmond amounts to
fully 20O, 600 that Gen. Lee has chief com
mand and Gems. Beauregard. Johnston be

deroe III their defeat A. Il. R.
The ''tTigk by which this iniquity was
intlrded 10 be Effected, Is thus described IN 4
previous letter Three clauses were propos-
ed to be voted upon separately. and ballots
Furnished accordingly, viz
l. For cr against negroes suffrage or
holding ofIca.
. FJroI against the exclusion Of negroes
from comm; iato the state.
g. For Ct ugainst laws Tor excluding ne
ErJes from coming IN, and from exercisin 9
the right OF suffrage OF holding office.
Muliituics who would not forbid negroes
from coming into the state, are not yet pre-
pAlel o. vote for negro suffrage. They
would suppose themselves to be expressing
tlo,r intentions by erasing "lor" in the first
crop .ition, and against" in the other /;
ani having thus accomplished their object,
would simply strike out the whole of the
third while the knowing ones, who were
m tie plot, would all vote "lor' in the
third. By the adroit reversal of the PROPOSE
ti0us IN | and ,, mulutudes were inadver-
tently caught INTO voting the contrary OF their
intentions IN regard to the second,-voting
Tor" the exclusion of negroes. while
they supposed themselves voting favorably
% them 50 far as the privilege of coming into
the state. The adroItness of the trick could
only be ,qualei by its inhumanity. and both
indicate an ingenuity and depravity not usu-
al among humans. The greater satisfaction
at the illustration Of the plot.
