Ing the day.
Our artillery was successfully brought to
bear nearly all day, while the rebels did very
little execution with theirs. Our loss vas
vtry small when compared with that Of the
rebels.
The fighting was Of desperate character.
As fast Us the rebtl forces were cut to pieces,
othtr fresh TROOPS were marched forward to
ill their places. They appeared to disregard
the lives OF their men.
At the close Of the fight the Union troops
were said to be in fine spirits and more any
ious than ever to fight.
One OF oEr correspondents saw Gen. Nc
Clel]an on Wednesday. He came on board
the mail boat as she reached Harrison's Land
ing. H walked aft with Gen. Patterson, who
came on the boat. Gen. Mcclellan was gesti-
culating violently with his clenched hand, but
his remarks were not heard. Subsequently,
in reply TO Ger. Patterson, Gen. Mcclellan
said: We have fought battle every day FIR
the last week, and whipped them every time,
though they had three to one.''
Our dates by mail are down to Friday morn

in force four miles from McClellan's trout,

Aepecial from Washington to the Horld,
says:
An officer Of high rank from McClel12u's
army, who has visited Washington, gives the
most encouraging account Of affairs which
has get been received here. e. states that
our army is much larger than is currently re-
ported. in view Of our late losses, and that it
is in perfectly secure position, either for Of
fensiye or defensive movements, and this
without the aid of gunboats even.
The officers and civilians who arc constantly
arriving here continue to give fabulous SC
counts Of the number Of the rebel forces pre-
cipitated upon Mcclellan in the battles, and
yet unofficial information here persists il say
ing that Bcauregard's army, or most Of it, is
still in Mississippi. If this be SO, the rebel
force must have been increased to its present
numbers at Richmond by rapid coascrip-
ton.
