mond that, in their late seven days onslaught
upon onr brave and indomtable army, they counted
not only upon It's descructon, but upon triumphal
! march to Washington and tue dctation Of peace
from the White House. In these calculations they
haye been signaliy defeated. The arlny Of Gen.
Mcclellan stronger and in q more formidable posi-
tloa fhan before still menaccs their capital, aud
they know that unless they quickly again assume
| tue Offensive their cause Is lost.
What, then are we called upon to do? Driven
! into corner mt Richmond aud threatened with

portunty for sorie, and seize upon the first OPEN
Ing, whether in the direction of Washington or
Harrison's Landing, for another desperate strug.

/ of the rebel States. They have exhausted their
means of reinforcement by their sweeping conscrp-
ton act, and have nothing to gain from inactivity,
but every tbingto fear We OF the loyal States are
therefore called upon to reinforce the army Of Gen.
| Mcclellan and the army of Gen. Pope AS rapidly
as possible; aud, with proper energy ON the part
OF our Federal and State authorities, each of those
| armies may be strengthened to the extent OF fifty
thousand men before the expiration Of the present
month, and we may yet bring this rebellion to
END before the fra. frost OF october.

Southern blockade involving positive loss to the

lie officer. Warrenon is the shire town of Fauquier
county, and contains about two thousand inhabi-
tans. The inhabitants are largely in favor of Sc

by large force of Union troops, yet found hosts

pathies, and hope that our forces msy soon be driven
back from here.
The late Col Ashby was an immense favorte in
this place. Some of his admirers still wear mourn
ing for him. One young lady passed me tonight
who seemed to be particularly interested in mourn
ing for some one. asked her for whom she wore
such an amount of Grape. She answered, "for Col
| Ashby the best man that ever lived"
The concentration of Gen. Pope's army. together
with his late stringent but just orders do seem
to agree very well with the Secessionists here But
the General has done just right, and his views
entirely IN accord with those of the soldiers con-
posing his army. There has been too much lenency
exhibited by some ef the commanders, which is
meeting with wholesale condemnation by the army.

AFTER THE WAR.
From the New York Herald, July D.
One of the American characteristics which most
surprises the good natured Mr.. Troilope IN Lis re
cent journey through this country, is the inpsrtur
bable good humor and nopefulness of the people. He
meets frequently persons who are ruined by the ca.
larnities OF the war. They never weep or wiring
