The enemy's fIeet-NLOvcments Of Mcclellan.


The daring exploit of few members ofthe Prince
George cavalry, on James river, opposite Mcclellan
camp last Saturday morning, has led to greater watch
uness the part of the enemy, who to fear for
the safety of their feet of transports. All the vessels
have been drawn up as as possible tc the North
shore of the stream, where they protected by
gunboats The belief that considerable portion OF
McCellans army is being withdrawn for the purpose
of reinforcing ope, gains strength daily. 1nforma-
tion has reached within the past week that large
bodies of Federal troops quietly crossing the
ChickahomiDy and marching down the Peninsula to-
wards Fortress Monroe but before giving currency
to this report preferred to await further develop
mens. 1t is asserted that observations from the
opposite side CT James show that many of the
enemys tents have dsa peared and it is also noticed
that the vessels in front OF the camp FRI quenty diminish
in number during the night. That some important
movement is in progress seems to be well authenticated:
aud the utmost caution is observed with the view of
preventing the Confederate authorities from learning
its object. 1t is presumed that Mcclellan, unwilling
to hazard another advance towards Richmond from
below, will hold his present forti6ed position with a
sufficient number of men, protected by gunboas, while
the business of conquerng the "Rebe Capital will be
entrusted to Pope the idol of the present hour in Yam

has us, been completed and give many interesting items
of information There are 787 islands around the Scot
tish coast-taking as the definition of an island that 1t
shall be of sufficient extent to afford pasture to sheep
The average population is one hundred to square
mile In some counties it is as low as thirteen. Inc
emigration is very large among the males and the pro-
portion in population between females and males Is
i'll 2 to lO0-a greater proportion than In any other
country in Europe. There are 666,786 families In
Scotland of these 1864 ormore than one per cent
lived last year in single room without any window
226 723 families lived in one room each, with one or
more windows but often a mere apology for window
Thus hiryfye per cent of all the families IN Scotland
or more than onehird, live in ROOM Thrty-se7en
per cent live in two rooms, leaving only twentyeght
Der cent. living in houses with three or more rooms
OF families thus living in room 3l940 consisted OF
four persons in each and 62l2 of eight in each In

scription of the Vessel.
COL Edward G. Charles of the Tammany Regiment
who was wounded and taken prisoner in one of the re-
cent battles before Richmond, has furnished Yankee
paper with the following Information
He states that he was sent home from Richmond with
the verbal explanation that he was paroled until an ex
change could be effected. He told that no formal
obligation acas required of him. The most important
point of information gained by bis brief soourn Rich
mond obtained on his departure from home being
sight Of the iron clad steamer which the rebels
are building, modelled after the Merrimac
This unusual privilege no fault IF the rebels, who
dropped the curtains of large double ambulance con
taning the Colonel and some wounded Massachusetts
oicars as they passed along the James River but the
former having the lower portion Of the vehicle and the
curtains being slightly short, enabled him to see tbs
bulk Of the new vessel as it was being towed BY
old ferry boat in the direction of tie rredegar Iror
Works. 1t Is presumed for the purpose of receiving bel
iron coating there.
Yhs vessel is bealed RAM and il this respect, anC
in being of smaller size than the Merrimac does sht
differ from that defunct marine monster. The yes
sci had her roof on, and large number of men were
work on her. Her guards were about six feet above
the waters edge. The ram was well beaked reaching
about four feet above the deck and extending out sly
feet. The Colonel supposes this vessel will prove
very formidable and that she will be ready for service
! in three weeks at the farthest.
Her roof runs up to peak of such height that tht
sides rise at sharp angle. When ironed, and her ma
chinery put in, her guards will probably not be owe
foot above the water. Being much smaller she vii
be far more manageable than the Merrimac The Col
