At his reception at Detroit, Gen. VIII
cox is reported to have said:
Do not underestimate the growth Of the
conspiracy, the strength of the rebellion,
or the ability of the Southern army take
tie whole thing into consideration.
They have get now between 100000
and 600, 900 men in the fed. | think
they are capable of bringing prehars
1000, 900, if not 400, 900 men into the
field. This may astonlsh you; but when
YOU recollect that they are bringing all
classes aud ages into their rank It is no. so
surprising. There are many boys from
fourteen to sixteen fighting m their ranks
and old gray headed men. There is,
besides a large per cenlagc of the negro
element in thdir ranks, which assists
them much For instance, they allow
two negroes to each company for cooks,
and then there are the drummers and
musicians, who make six or seven per
cert Of negroes for each company. That,
multiplied by ten, gives sixty or seventy
negroes to each regiment. and that excln
aive Ct teanstafs. In this way the slaves
aie 10 them Il ver~ greet service, enabling
them to b. ny more lnen into the fed
They lave also better adapted their re-
gtlar 'sy stem 10 tloir volunteer system.
They also keep up their old regiments
by filing them NJ, and consequently they
had what the French call elan. In this
point of view Gen. Wilcox strenuously
advocated the enlsting into old regiments
instead Of into new.
This - n large estimate Of rebel re-
sources but facts have shown that for
our own safety those resources cannot be
estimated too highly.

shocking Catastrophe.

CAIRO, Aug. The steamer AGA
cea ran on n snag 60 miles below
Memphis, at one o'clock Thursday morn
ing, aud sunk IN five minutes. She had
$50 passengers. six of-whom were ladies;
she had alsosa cargo of rs tons sutler's
goods. In five minutes after sinking
she capsized, the upper deck floating off,
and many passengers who chung to it
were saved; but fully half were ineberths
and were lost. Most of the passengers
were soldiers who were returning to the
regiments. A number of survivors have
arrived atIelena. Notices. than rs or 80
persons persisted. The captain and most
of the crew were saved. The list of lost
has not yet been received.

We clip from the St. Paul Press of
Monday, the following article with re-
gard to the Chippewas, which will no
doubt be consoIing to the tirnil portion
Of this community:
The latest advice from Fort Ripleysis
that Gen. Dole was having coaneil
with some of the chiefs Of the Chippewas,
and all appeared to be harmonious. The
Mile Lac, Snake River; and Chippewa
River bands are all represented.
A report came to US by way of Hud-
son, that half breed Chippewas in that
region are telling the settlers that there
is no cause for alarm; that Hole in the
Day had sent over TO the Wisconsin, CHIP
pewas for all the warriors~to> go against
the Sioux, who have recently murdered
a Chippewa woman.

We have no disposition to canvass the
reports concerning Gen. Mcclellan, which
were rife in the city yesterday. Ifthey
are true, and be has intentionly with
held any aid which he could possibly give
to our gallant soldiers struggling with
the rebels within cannon shot of his camp,
there is no need of anticipating the pun
i~hment which will be inflicted upon him
by an outraged aud indignant nation.
For the present. grave asfare the appear
ances against him, we prefer to believe
that his delay in moving forward has been
due to other causes than bis own will.
It will be seen that the Government
has virtually deprived him of any active
participation in the pending conflict, as it
has restricted bis command to "that por-
ton of tile Army of the Potomac which is
not ordered to join Gen. Pope" As
nearly the whole effective portion of that
army has already joined Gen. Pope his
command will. be limited to q very few
thousand men, and will be without impor-
lance. The Government would scarcely
have taken this step without some serious
dereliction Of duty on his part.
Gen. McClellan's career has been one
ofthe most remarkable incidents of the
war. We shall have in due time, as q
matter of course, full exposition Of it,
with all documents essential to q just
Interpretation of his relations with The
Governments. Until that time any deci-
sivc judgment upon It would be preina-
ture. But he has utterly lost the CONT
dence and high consideration which he
once edjoyed at the, bands Of the Amerl-
can people ~. Y. Times.

Tho Richmond Hhig estimates the
military force of The contederacv at 1900
600. and claims that ] 900 900 are now
under arms. Parson Brownow annouu-
ces his conviction that the Amy of the

sersed. from Alabama, that the entire
population capable of hearing arms, from
sixteen to forty-fve years Of age, are
enrolled, organized, armed and drilled
daly--all business being suspended two
hours day for that purpose.
This, if true, accounts for the rapid
mar ,llalng of forces by the Confederacy.
: The authorities do not wait for companies
to be .formed--they are completely ogan
lied, and only wait the order calling them
into active service. To meet and annih-
iate this mighty force, the Grand Army
of 100000, is not at nil too large
Indeed. it may be questioned whether a
wise provision does not call for another

The Il MINOR az sigeHs shooting
zen. Nc l. Dwell.

It appears that the rumor which start
led the country last week, to the effect
that Gen. Sigel had shot Gen. Mcdowell
at Warrenton, bad its origin in the army.
A correspondent Of the New York Ere
ming Post says:-
During the early part Of the week, tito
unfoureed runor Of the death OF Gen.
Mcdowell was prevalent nil through the
army. It was said that on Sunday Gen.
Sigel was about to execute q vancouver.
with the understanding that he should at
the proper time receive the assistance and
cooperation of Gen. MeDowell's com
mand; but Mcdowell did not advance
the troops, and so the attempt proved p
failure. One rumor charged it to tho
eowardice or ineffciency Of Mcdowell;
another stated that Gen SigeI actually
detected him making signals TO The enc
my. Drawing pistol, the reporter SIT
ed, the gallant German, approaching hlm
with bis conduct, shot him in the head
killing lin instantly.
This ,umor with many exaggerations.
was generally credited through the entire
army Of Virginia. and even by the SOL
diers Of the army of the Potomac; but.
two or three days afterwards, our inform
ant saw Gen. Mcdowell riding on horse
back, with no appearance Of having suf-
ferred injury.
