WHITE HoUsE.-Beni. J. Losing, the his
torian, states that the White House on the
Pamunkey, which was burned on the retreat
of the right wing Of Gen. McClellan's army,
was not the one which sheltered Washington
during his honeymoon, as has been alleged, nor
does the estate belong to the rebel General
Lee. This mansion, he says, possessed no
more claim to our reverence than any other
one belonging to rebel family on the penin-
sular. The facts of the case are thus stated
by Mr.. LOSING:
"The White House where Washington re-
sided with his bride 1.-THE owner) during the
first few weeks of his married life was demol-
ished many years ago, and the late building,
somewhat different in form, was erected upon
its site. This estate, as well as that of Airing
ton, near Washington city, was the property
of the late G.. w. p. Custis, the grandson of
Mrs. Washington. Mary Gusts, the wife of
the rebel General Lee. Is the sole heir of Mr.
Gusts, and all his property will remain in her
possession, according to the provisions of his
will, during her natural life, and then become
the patrimony Of her children. One of her
sons, formerly an officer in the army of the
United States, but now colonel of a rebel regi-
ment at Richmond, has, since his marriage in
1859, been the occupant of the White House
and surrounding estate, the property of his
mother. / repeat that the late White House
was never seen by Washington, and that the
estate is not the property of the rebel General
Lee" Mrs. Lee, his wife, is my authority for
the assertion

STEAMERS FITTING OUT AT NASSAU. The
following is an extract of a letter dated Key
West, June 20:
dispatches have been received from Nassau
n. p, brought by very intelligent gentleman
from that place, showing that there are no less
than nine steamers at that port being loaded
or fitted out, both for running the blockade and
for preying on our commerce. Some of them,
as the Ovieto, Memphis, Hero, Tubal Cain and
Philanthropst are being armed in a very for
midable manner, all having arrived from Eng
land loaded with arms and ammunition bring
ing their own armament as cargo. In this mon
grel port of Nassau they are allowed openly
and defiantly to complete their outfit, whence
they will sally forth and throw away their
English nationality. and with the rebel pirate
flag obtain their supplies from our numerous
merchantmen, which they will destroy as being
any further unavailable. We trust our Naval
Department is aware of the magnitude and inn
portanee of this enterprise and are prepared to
meet them. Would not these outrageous acts
at Nassau justify our sending fleet into that
harbor and blow all these bogus Englsh-rebel
vessels TO the winds or the bottom? There
would be very poor grounds on which the
Home Government could resent it,"

sT- The Illinois Constitution, which the
people of that state have overwhelmingly re-
jected, was device of the Illinois democracy
to restore them to power-the last friendly
plank between them and humiliation. They
hoped to revolutionize the state government,
placing in power men of anti-war sentiments.
and organize an opposition peace party in the
heart of the north. The Springfield 1ll)
journal says, with just Indignation, "there
was never assembled body of men, not ex-
cepting the Hartford blue light or the last ma
tionai democratic convention, which was fraught
with more danger to the prosperity and well
fare OF the nation. Had they succeeded no
one can tell the damage they would have been
able to do to the Union cause, either by
factious opposition or by indirectly refusing
their Observation-Disclosures Spy.

NEW YORK, July Z.
The Tribune's correspondent says General
Hookers division lie reduced to less than 5000
effective men
The result of Tuesdays fight was distinctly
in favor Of the Union army. The rebels were
defeated in every action, and the rebel officers
taken prisoners admit the loss of at least TO-
600 men, during the day. Our loss was very
small when compared with that of the rebels.
The Tribune says one of our correspondents
saw Gen. Mcclellan on Wednesday He came
on board the mail boat as she reached Harri-
son Landing and hurriedly passed into the
cabin with Gen. Patterson who came up on
the boat. In reply to Gen. Patterson. Gen.
Mcclellan said -" We have fought battle
every day for the last week and whipped the
rebels every time, though they had three to
onen
Gen. Mcclellan remained but few moments
on the boat.
AT noon Thursday, rhe rebels appeared in
force four miles from Gen. McClelian's front
and began Smelling, but nothing important oc-

Ariel.
We learn that Gen. Lew Wallace earnestly
desires TO be sent with a number of Ohio and
Indiana regiments to join Gen. Mcclellan.
The Worlds Washington dispatch says an
officer of high rank from Gen. McClellan's ar
my, who visited Washington, gives the most
encouraging account of affairs which has yet
been received here. He SAYS that our army is
much larger than is currently reported in view
OF the late losses. He further states it is in
perfectly secure position either for the often
slve or defensive movements without the aid
OF gunboats even.
Senator Clark goes to New Hampshire to

and food for cows, says:
"lf there is any animal which policy
would dictate the good treatment o., it is
ne mich cow. 1t should be remembered
Il is only the food she consumes beyond

taste of the system, that can afford sur

which would barely support two cows and
i:aye nothing for the owner if eaten hy ore
low, would enable her to return the value
of one half Of it in milk. SO that the ad.
