ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The conflict of arms which commenced
in front of Richmond on Thursday the 26th
ult., was the beginning of series of the
most terrible battles that has ever been
known in the history of the world. lasting
seven days. and each day making a bloody
page in the history of the Pro-Slavery Re-
bellion of 1869. We are sorry to be com
PEELED TO admit that it has not terminated
as all Union hearts had hoped-had prayed
it would-in the taking of the Rebel Capt.
tai. It seems, from the details of the af-
fair, that Mcclellan had concluded, some
ten or twelve days before the fighting COM
menced, to change the position of his army
by throwing the right wing around from
White House and West Point to what he
considered better position, on James river.
When he commenced to carry this plan in
to effect, the Rebels attacked him in strong
force, and for the first two or three days
drove our forces-which were far inferior
! in numbers to theirs-before them. Among
suffers and army loungers this created a
panic. which threatened for a time to be
equal to the disgraceful retreat at Bull Run.
The enemies of Mcclellan, headed in the
East by the Tribune and in the West by the
Mo. Democrat, rung through the land the
cry that we were disgracefully.and irretrieva-
bly, beaten, and our whole army cut to
pieces and annihilated. This woe begone
howl went up from every city, village and
hamlet in the country, and for day or two
the American cause seemed buried in deer
gloom. Mcclellan was denounced by many
as total failure. Men talked of his STRAIT.

something about such matters, and utterly

Encouraging from the Army.
WASHINGTON, July 6.

WAsHINGToN, July 6.
Special to the New York World says: An
officer of high rank from Nc Clellan's army
who has visited Washington gives the most
encouraging account of affairs that has yet
been received here.
He states that our army is much larger
than currently reported in view of our late
losses, and that it is in perfectly secure
position, either for offensive or defensive,
and this without the aid of gunboats.
= The officers and civilians who are con-
stantly arriving continue to give fabulous
accounts of the number of the rebel forces
precipitated upon Mcclellan in the battles:
yet unofficial information persists in saying
that Beauregard's army, or most of it, is
still in Mississippi. If this be SO the rebel
force must have been increased to its pres
ent numbers at Richmond by a rapid con-
scription.

Gentlemen, We now have possession of
Kansas, and if I had time I would issue a
proclamation. But I will only say this
much: Let it be remembered that Quantrell
disturbs no man who minds his own bust
ness.''
At Elm creek they fred into the house
of Mr.. Jacoby, who had taken some part
in getting them arrested. 1t was their in
tention to have killed this gentleman, but a
Santa Fe train which was encamped near
Jacoby's residence saved his life. At the
next station they stole two more horses,
belonging to the Kansas City and Council
Grove Stage Company. From this place
they proceeded on down the road, avoiding
Burlingame, and threatened, to gentleman
near that place, that if the people of that
village disturbed the property of Hollam
Rice-who, as those who have travelled the
road between here and Lawrence will recol-
lect, kept kind of stopping place at ORA
COON creek, near Burlingame, and who lately
left for Iowa because of his supposed COM
would lay that town in ashes. At 10
creek they compelled Mr.. Harris to get
breakfast for them in doublequick time
threatening to blow his brains out if he did
not do so. They left there little after day
light, and were probably in Missouri by
noon of that day.
This whole affair was one of the boldest,
most daring and bloody achievements of
the kind ever put upon record by any band
of desperadoes. Let us just think for a
moment of dozen men dashing into the
country from Missouri, distance of 10 or
100 miles, and numbering, burning and
stealing-and off again before any pursuit
can be made This teaches US very i'm
portant lesson, which is that every neigh
borhood in the country should be prepared
for such desperadoes. Had a dozen men
been handy, they could have captured this
company, and hung them. In conversation
with different persons, they made various

stated that portion of their band had taken

ton of burning and sacking this town be-

They swear vengeance against some of our
citizens. Had they made us visit, we
doubt not they would have accomplished
their ends without hindrance. They could
have done it before we got ready to resist.
They have sworn to visit this section of
the country again to kill E. Goddard and
others. Shall they do it The question
is for us to answer. They dare come when
ever they please. and if they please they
will do it. Every community should pre-
pare for defense. Every gun should be got
in readiness, and the able bodied men ready
to mount and pursue at moments warn
ing. Just think, if these devils had taken
the notion that night, our town might have
been laid in ashes, and half her citizens
burnt in the ruins

3 Advices from the army of the Potomac
up to the night of the 9Th indicated all qui-

Brig. Gen. Sturgis is ordered to report to
Gen. Pope.
Mcclellan has issued an address to the
army on the achievements of the last ten
days, saying: You have succeeded in
changing the base of your operations by a
flank movement, always regarded as the
most hazardous of military expedients.
You have saved all your material, all your
trains and all your guns except few lost
IN the battle, taking in return guns and
colors from the enemy. Under every dis
advantage, of numbers and necessarily of
position, you have in every conflict beaten
back your foes with enormous slaughter.
We are prepared to meet the enemy who
may at any time attack you. Let them
come, and we will convert their repulse in
to final defeat. Your Government Is
strengthening you with the resources of a
great people. On this, our national birth
day, we declare to our foes who are rebels
to the best interests of mankind, that this
army shall enter the Capital of the so-called
Southern Confederacy; that our national
Constitution shall prevail, and that Union
which can alone insure internal security
and peace to each State, must and shall be
preserved, cost what it may, in time, treas

some FIVE miles toward Richmond. The
correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer
states that the Richmond papers of the 4th
acknowledged a loss Of 80, 900 men, though
they claim victory. The correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press of the same date
report that Mcclellan is pushing rapidly
