FROM M'CLELLAN'S ARMY.

FORTRESS MONROE, July l4--Ine steamer
Daniel Webster in going up James River WIS
els. The ball passed through the state rooms
but no one was injured. The rebels have en-
tirely forssken the front Of our army, and not
a rebel soldier is to be seen, and there are
none Eithin several miles. The opinion is
tn: rebels will be soou heard from a. some
other quarter. No neTB from the army to-
day.
FORTRESS MONROE. June IA rebel flag Of
truce came down James River yesterday tor

Rebel prizonefs speak hopefully Of foreign
intervention, and claim to have sent full par
tlculars Of the late battles to Europe.
WASHINGTON, July l3.-The Richmond Dis
patcA Of Wednesday, says that on Monday af-
te7noon demonstration was made against
OUT pickets, but retired on two pieces Of ar
tillery being brought in position. Il is not
believed that Mcclellan eau be induced to at
tick us, but it is coniectured that he may at
tempt to throw force On the south side Of
the river and reduce the batteries at Drary's s
bluffs. Such q demonstration would be
promptly met and sigually thWarted-
It Is reasonable to conclude that fighting Is
over for short season. There is nothing to
justify the belief that our government will
fail to improve its present advantage, how
is, he viii not be permitted to recover from
the severe blow inflicted, Mcclellan in try
ing to extricate himself from his present posi-
ton Will find himself confronted at every
point. The late series Of hs,:ettles produced
good results BY opening our lines Of commit
1leat1on in various directions.
New YoRK, July 13.-The Baltimore Anler-
icon Of Saturday confirms extracts from Rich
mond papers and one from Knoxville the 9TH,
Stating that Buell's force, numbering $1,000,
crossed the Tennessee, supposed to make q
fem ton Chattanooga to cover movements on
Rome, Ga. The Charleston Courier, 4th, re-
ports q retreat Of the Union forces from
positions near that city. Several transports
with troops had been seen going northWa1d.
Petersburg papers Of the Sd say that General
Magruder is relieved from command by Gen.
Johnston. In an address to the troops he
said he was going to q distant and important
command.
The Dipach exttravaeantly praises Gen. Lee
for the plan Of the late battles, and says Rich
mond is safe as long as he is at his post The
Petersburg Express of wednesday says it is q
matter Of con pgratulation that the present po-
sition Of AcClellan's army is one Of the hot
test perhaps on the soil Of Virginia That
out Of tophet there is no place to compare
with 1t, and that If the sun were to roast the
rascals to crisp no tears would be shed in
the South.

An army correspondent writing from Mar

towering flagstaff, foated the symbol Of
protective power our precious stars and
stripes. There was handsome display Of the
entire 65tb Illinois regiment, Col Cameron,
who paraded LOCO strong in the morning.
Their commander presented them with ten
barrels Of beer for .refreshment, to which
harmless beverage the men restricted them
selves. In the afternoon, they amused Them
selves with open-air sports, running races

l. L
Our Sunday rights dispatches, as given
c!scwhcre, show that the enemy are getting
more daring, an1 tic guerrilla parties more
formidable. One Of thcse, under the rebel
leader Forrest, hes attacked two federal
rceimcnts in Murfrccsboro, capturing one
and taking possession Of the town. The
other regiment was holding out at last ac-
counts.
simultaneously with this, the operations
Of 5Iorgan's cavalry in Kentucky are now
Of SO important cnaracter as to threaten
tic safely Of Frankfort, whence tile State
archives have been removed. There is
little doubt wha. will be the issue when
the federal troops confront these parties
and our army is sufficiently strong to
guarantee against any serious reverse, but
local panics and general insecurity must

some time to come, ae their share in the

SPEECH 0E GEN. LEW. WALLACE,
We publish tlc speech Of Gen. LEW.
WALLACE, made in Washington a few days
ago, and commend it more especially to
Democrats who are squcanlish in regard to
employing negroes against tie rebels.
Sen. Wallace went into the army pro-
slavery Democrat, but has become a
practical abolitiohist. He has seen the
seccsh ut home. He has witnessed their
mode Of warfare. he has studied the
t' divine institution from close stand
point, and observed the tremendous ele-
mcnt Of strength it is in the hands Of the
enemy, and speaking from soldiers range
of vision, he declared in the national capi-
tal, before q concourse Of Senators, Repre-
seutatiyes and citizens, that the negroes
ought to be employed in every way in
which they can assist the army in crush.
ing the rebellion. And for Their services
lie would reward them with freedom.
Leaving out the slayey-worshipping West
Pointers, Gen. Wallace speaks the un1vcr-
sal sentiments Of the soldiers and officers
of the. army who have become heartily
disgusted with the manner in which the
war is conducted # the army were
allowed to wage the war on common sense
principles, they would soon put an end to
the rebellion.
We cannot forbear repeating tile closine
remark Of the General: "Oh. that I
<'could get little back bone into those
t'who are governing US; il I could but an
g innate them to use the great powers at
'<< their command; Il I could ialuce them
to let us {tfe army make trar, is all

senator LANE Of Indiana, followed in {
tew vigorous and pointed remarks, HI
said that the government must use every
means that God and nature placed in it:
hands. Our armies should be allowed tc
-subsist on the property Of the traitors. He
would cashier any general officer who
placed q soldier to guard rebels proper
tt, and would. "hand his name down tc
'ccrnal infamy." This is precisely wha-
the generals entrusted with the larges
armies and most important commands
have been doing from the beginning of thu
war to the present day. Is It auv wonde,
that the rebellion is not crushed, and that
patriotic sacrifices Of the people and tbe
soldiers have accomplished 60 IttleP

"Sir,' said. Alr. Sumner, in closing his
recent eloquent plea for confsca1ion in the
Senate, "tlle present Congress has already
done much beyond any other Congress in

tue nation. Measures which for long
years seemed a:t;iinablc only to the most

treaty with Great Britain for the suppr1s-

HEBoIsN OF OUR WoUNDED.-A cores
pondent of the New York Evening Post writes
rom Washington of scenes he witnessed In the
hospital there. He says:
On the edge of his cot sat young man
whose face scarcely bore vestige of that of a
man. 1t was SO swollen that his ewes were not
visible, and as purple as if already mortified.
The lower part ofhs jaw, with his tongue, was
shot away.
Holding his head with both hands. and lean
ing oyera stand, sat young lieutenant whose
hearing was destroyed, one eye shattered, and
the other shot out.
Many letters TO the home friends of these
sufferers were written for them by women that
morning. How touching was the falsehood
which all alike wished indited: "Tell her that
am not much hurt, and expect to be well
enough to he in the next battle.- Or. II am
very slightly wounded, and shall be able to
come home on fllrlough.n Don't tell moth
