WARRINGTON, July 7.-The Star says dis
tnguished officer Of the army of the Potomac
was in Washington this morning. His oppor-
tunitiss for learning the extent of the enemy's
damage in the seven days battles were better
than any other Union officer. He estimates
they lost, in killed, wounded, etc.. the immense
number of seventy-fve thousand men, or in
other words their loss was quite half their whole
army In and about Richmond. They refuse to

GENERAL McLELLAN's DREAM.

The following is from the pen of Wes-
ley Bradshaw, Esq. and makes fitting
companion to Washington's Vision, which
sketch, written by the same author, at the
commencement of our National difficulties,
was widely copied by the press, and COM
mended by Hon. Edward Everett, as teach
ing highly important lesson to every true
lover of his country Eachange,
Two o'clock of the third night after
General McCelIan's arrival in Washington
to take comm and Of the Uuited States Ar
nay, found that justly celebrated soldier
poring over several maps and reports of
scouts. AS the hour came tolling through
the night, together with the dull bling
of army wagons and artillery wheels, the
wearied hero, pushing from his maps and
reports, leaned his forehead on his folded
arms upon the table before him and fell
into sleep, so deep that even the occa-
senal booming of the heavy guns, being
placed on the intrenchments, was insuffic-
lent to disturb it.
could not have been slumbering thus
more than ten. minutes, said the General
to an intimate friend, to whom he related
the strange narrative, when | thought the
door of my room, which | had carefully
locked, was thrown suddenly open, and
some one strobe to me, and, laying hand
upon my shoulder, said, in slow solemn
voice:
General Mcclellan, do you sleep at your
post? Rouse YOU, or ere it can be prevent
ed, the foe will be in Washington!
Never before in my life have heard a
voice possessing the commanding and even
terrible tone of the one that addressed to
me these words And the sensation that
passed through me, as it fell upon my ears
and coweringly sbrunk into myself at the
thought of my own negligence, | can only
compare to the whistling, shrieking sweep
of storm of grape shot. discharged direct
ly through my brain. could not move
however although | tried hard to raise
my head from the table AS a sense of my
willingness, and yet helplessness to make
an answer to the unknown Intruder, op-
pressed me, | once more heard the same
slow, solemn voice repeat:
General Mcclellan, do you sleep at your
pest?
There was popularity about it this
time; 1t seemed as though la mere at
ON OF xater-was suspended in the centre
of an infinite space, and that the voice
came from a hollow distance all around
me- As the last word was uttered, re-
gained by seme ielt and yet unknown
power, my yoEtion, and with the change
/ the grape shot discharge sensation in ny
brain ceased. and strange but new on,
