Mcclellan is now occupying position from

necessary.
We have nothing definite as to the Losses
on either side. but the killed and wounded
during the seven days fighting must have
nearly equaled all that had previously oc
Cured during The war. The latest estimate
of The Federal loss places the number at

says Is, 900 will not cover the rebel losses.
Another places it at 10000, and prisoners
taken estimate il at from 10000 to $4,000.

News TO THk lOTH.-Oferianu Oifpatcn-
e.. published ia the Union of yesterday,
bring the dates from the East up TO the
10th lust, aud from McCleIlan's army to
the 9th. Further details of the seven days
Eghting show that the first estimates Of the
losses were not exaggerated; that OF The
Federals Is now put down at $4,000, aud
tbe rebel loss is estimated at from 10000 to
10000. The Richmond papers OF July 4tb
admit loss Of 30, 900, but claim victory.
Mcclellan bad been reinforced by Burn.
eide's division, and advanced bis position
five miles up James river, driving the reb-
els before him. Stonewall Jackson, ono Of
the abIest rebel generals and Il. d. RheIt,
a prominent disuniOn politician, are an
nOunced by the Richmond Dispatch TO
have been killed. Its report Of Jackson's
death, however, Is believed TO be q ruse Of
the enemy. Mcclellan issued an address
to The soldiers on the 8lb, in which he says
the army had changed its base Of operations
by fank movement, always regarded as
hazardous, saving all the material except a
few guns lost in battle; and under every
disadvantage of numbers, and position had,
in every conflict beaten back the enemy.
We have no authoritative statement as to
whether The change of position was in ac-
cordance with preconcerted plan, or a
movement forced upon the army by The
fierce onslaughls of the enemy. The intel
ligonce, on the whole is much more favora.

Fair Oaks. as being unmerited. New York
papers, lately received, publish a dispatch
from Gen. Mcclellan TO the War Depart
Ineni, in which he somewhat modiies his
Crst opinion. II is as follows:
HEADorARTERs ARMY OF PoToMAc,(
Thursday, June 9th.
Hon. L. NJ. Stanton, Secretary OF War
My despatch of the LIST inst, stating that
Gen. Casey's Division, which was in the first
line, gave way unaccountably and discreditably
was based upon official statements made to me
before l arrived upon the field Of battle, and
while was there, by several commanders.
From statements made to me subsequently, by
Gems. Casey and Naglee, | am induced to be-
leve that portions Of the Division behaved we'll
and made most gallant stand against superior
numbers, but at present the accounts are too
conflicting to enable me to discriminate with
certainty. When the facts are clearly ascer-
tanned, the exceptional conduct will be properly
acknowledged. GRo. B. MCCLELLAN,

YIcXsBURG.-The Telegram from Chicago,
announcing the capture of Vicksburg, is
contradicted by later adyices. The BON.
bardment was progressing on the 7th Of
July, aud the feet of Commodore Davis,
from above, had arrived and was acting in
conjunction with the feet under FNrragut.
The project Of Gen. Butler, Of cutting a ca
nal through bend, so as TO leave Vicks-
burg eleven miles inland, is u reality, and
the work was nearly completed. A large
number Of negroes, collected from various
plantations, had been employed on the work.
Commodore Farragnt was wounded in the
head during an engagement, but his Injuries
we're not considered dangerous.
