From Corresp sndenes Wheeling Intelligsncer.I
WESTON, October 9.-We learned yesterday
of & skiEmish between our forces and the rebels
near Big Birch nous tsin, bat the accounts were
so imperfect that l could not finnish the full
particulars until now. This evening Lieutenant
Dawson, of company K, Ist Virginia cavalry,
arrived here, and from him gain the following
information

They marched sll night, and on Monday
morning the cavalry, under Lieutenant Dawson,
were sent forward to recOnuoiter. After cross.
ing Big Birch mountain, they were halted By
the enemy's pickets, whom they captured.
From these men they learned that the rebels
were encamped shsrt distance beyond, and
numbered between forty and ffty msa. As the
infantry UaS some distaucs behind, Lieutenant
Dawson with bis twelve men charged on their
camp and captured seven prisoners, and twenty
six horses and accousrements, also lot OF
Shsrps's rifles and other arms.
The pBrty then returned TO Sutton, where the
adiutant insisted on remaining until morning,
but was finally persuaded to continue the march.

two churches he ordered the men into ca0p in

who up to this time were elated with successes,
now became doEn-hearied, ana seemed as ii
they cared not for life, but were perfectly dis
courased.
About two O'clock the camp was surprised by
the rebels few shots wore fred, which made
three of them bite the dust. Bat the surprise
was so complies that our man could not be ral-

The rebels captured twenty-five Of the infantry

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT TOWARD THE JAMES
RIVER.
,peclsl dispatch TO the Chicago Tribune.

Special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, July n.--Whle on the
peninsula the President bad as accurate re-
turns as possible made to him of the losses
in the recent battles but there are dozen
stories as to what the actual footing was
This evenings Star says the killed, wounded
and missing in al! the seven battles were
reduced to II 900. Frank Blair, who &C
companied the President, says 10000, while
Senator Wilson was understood to say that
the Presidan1 told him $4,000. At any
rate reinforcements now have far more than
supplied all losses.
The Richmond Examiner and Dispatch
of July Z, gives US more encouraging views
of the rebel dependency than anything we
have hitherto had. Its articles are regard
ed as Indicating belief that McClellan's
present position is entirely safe from any
attack they can make and a continued men,
ace to the safety of their capital.
The President, Assistant Secretary Wat.
son and Frank Blair bring back most en-.
couragiDg news from McClellan's army,
which they report in fine condition and re.
stored to more than the original strength
again and ready for offensive operations.
1t may be regarded as settled that Nc.
Clellan will remain in command OF the ar
my and Mr.. Stanton retain his place in the
Cabinet. The President is indisposed to
make any changes for the present.

4 Patriotic Family.

Tbs late Col. Samuel Wyke Black OF the
GA Pennsylvania regiment, killed in one of
the battles before Richmond, was member
of family represented by seven or eight of
its number at the recent battle on the Pc
niasula. A brotner of the Col. William
Black, was connected with the same regi.
ment, and two OF bis nephews, lads OF sew
enteen and nineteen years, were privates in
the Sickles brigade. The two young men,
sons of the late Rev. Andrew w. Black,
ID. D., lett their widowed mother at the
commencement of the rebellion, eni!sting in
company of picked young men from Pitts
burgh, Pennsylvania, and coming to this
city to join the brigade of Sickles, in order
to get Immediately on the battle fed.
Col. Black and Gen. Crawford (of Fort
Sumter fancy were cousins, both named af-
ter the Rev. DR.. Samuel Wyke, President
of the University of Pennsylvania, and all
of them sons of clergymen of the Old School
Presbyterian denomination.
Colonel Black, while Governor of Ne
braska, was for long time an intimate &C.
quaintance of General Beauregard. Their
families resided in the sans vicinity, and
were on terms OF intimate friendship. They
both left Nebraska early in 1861 their
next meeting place was on the e-feld.
Col. Black was an out and out Union man,
fighting bravely for the old flag. His dying
words, distinctly uttered, were, ION my
brave felIows-on" His body is in the
hands of the rebels.-Euesaing Post

Home Sickness Insa nifty,

DR.. Hunt of Buffalo, now stationed at
Newport News, Virginia, gives the follow
ing instance of that form OF home sickness
which becomes insanity. In letter he
narrates an affecting and painfully touching
case, thus:
You have learned, perhaps, of that form
of camp home sickness which developes it
self into insanity, and is written down in
the books as nostalgia. 1t is singular
and painfully interesting phenomenon. One
of them only has been fully developed I'm.
der my eye. The man came here almost
entirely recovered from fever, and claimed
himself to be entirely well, refusing medi.
cines aud talking very nationally about
everything but home. Day after day, as
the boat came to the dock, be would pack
his knapsack quietly, say good-b to his
ward mates, and march down to the wharf
only to be disappointed and to find out, as
be more forcibly than elegantly expressed it,
that sit was not the right boat-it was an,
other id boat" At nights in bis sleep
he talked continuously of wife and child:
daytimes be said little, but finally made a
confidant of me, and said that all night and
all day he dreamed and thought of home,
and sometimes, perhaps, it made him light.
headed. He had been a year in the ser~
vice, and always gay and happy up to the
period of this recent illness.
His family live in New York, and one
morning l had the happiness 10 see Charley
march down to the boat with bis neatly
slung knapsack and it was the right boat
that time. He has been home fortnight
now, and have no doubt will return to bis
regiment a good soldier. To have kept
him here would have ended, probably, in
suicide.

not, he would ask the Senator, let them be

Some law authorizing the employment OF

to be crowded through before adjournment.
The Republicans seemed unanimous on toe

Habits of General Hallcck.

correspondent writing from Corintb,
Mississippi, sends the following 10 relation
to the Commander in Chief of the Western
armies:
There is yet no sign of an immediate in
tention of General Halleck to leave Corinth.
But with him what is apparently improba-
BILE today may be certain tomorrow. Events
may forecast their shadows but the move
ments OF General Halleck do not. His
plans lie always buried in that safest of re.
positories-his own head-until the hour
for their execution has arrived. Not even
the members of his staff, holding the most
conf iential positions, share their burden
until then. Independence of conception
seems one of the main characteristics OF his
mind.
The commander.in chief still has bis bead.
quarters upon the premises first occupied
by him alter entering Corinth. The man
sion is stately 10 proportions compared to
the generality of buildings in Corlnth, but
the General had the rooms occupied as of
fees and contented himself with Q plain
wall tent pitched in The yard.
No one approaching the general head
quarters would suppose, from their quiet
appearance, that here dweled the central
authority, ruling with immense military
power and almost absolute prerog3tiVes
over an extent Of territory as vast rs the
greatest European empire. There is 10 noise,
nc hustle, no connection Of any kind. There
is more fuss in Camp about the quarters OF
q colonel, and the q1ietest in all this que-
tude s General Haleck himself. He reads
quietly he talks quietly, be smokes quietly,
he walks quietly. Yet, in spite Of want OF
martial animation about his abode. there is
lite, necessarily active lie, under this even
surface. Whatever his qualifications as &
leader CT armies in the fed may be, it must
be acknowledged that ne discharges The
general supervisory duties CT his position
with the utmost fai!hfuinoss, ana exacts the
same of all bis Immediate subordinates. He
receives all visitors on business, examines
all reports, writes all important orders, and
so quiet and quick is bis way OF disposing
of the immense business daily crowded upon
him, that he finds tine enough to look after
details. Thus be can be seen almost every
morning wandering !eisare'y about :ke
streets, with a cigar in his mouth, and loois-
ing into the enforcement Of the police regu
!atioDs established by him for the town, the
condition of thiugs at the railroad depot, in
| the public store houses, etc., etc Many q
negligent commissary, quarternlaster and
provost marshal have already felt the effect
OF these morning walks.

From the SOIIthS

NEW YORK, July lO-Tbe World says
awe give an interesting statement by
Union man who has just reached this city
from Atlanta, Georgia, respecting the posi-.
ton of affairs at the South. We can vouch
for its being trustworthy. 1t appears, first,
that, had the recent contest before Richmond
terminated in Confederate defeat, the re-
bellion would have been ended, as the spirit
of the South was almost utterly broken by
the long series OF rebel defeats; second that
the rebel army at Richmond previous to the
late battles was undoubtedly over 100000
strong. Fully half of Beauregard's army
passed through Atlanta, bound for Rich.
mond, to this gentlemans knowledge.
Third, that but comparatively small
quantity of cotton has been destroyed at
the South. as the planters do what they can
to save and not destroy their property.
There will be an abundance therefore, for
the needs Of commerce whenever the rebel.
lion is ended. Fourth that the wheat and
oat crops at the South are utter failures,
and that if the corn crop should also fail,
famine as we'll as the other horrors of war,
be the fate Of tpe South

CRoPs.-Every farmer we meet speaks
in the most glowing terms of the growing
crops Wheat is tall, strong in stalk, and
the heads unusually large. If there is no
blight between this and harvest-about
three Minnesota will yield an aston.
ishing crop of wheat. In the Big Woods
there is q great deal of winter wheat, which
indicates very heavy yield. Barley is
farther advanced than spring wheat, and
promises the best crop yet harvested in this
section of the State. The present corn
crop is remarkably forward and thrifty
much of it in this vicinity being five and six
feet high. Mr.. Morrison, who has just re-
turned from the East, says he was surprised
to see that corn was more advanced here
when be left than it was in the Eastern and
Middle States when be arrived there. Oats
and all root crops look well.

Gen, Hunter Arrests His Chief Quar-
termaster for Fraud.

Washington Dispatch to the New York Times.
Just before the sailing of the Arago,
Capt. Charles E. Fuller, chief quartermas-
ter of the department of the South was
placed under arrest by General Hunter,
and all the public property in bis possession
was turned over to Capt j. l. Elwell, as
sistapt quartermaster. 1t is said that Gen.
Hunter is on the track of vast frauds in his
department, or at least most wasteful and
criminal extravagances, and it is said to be
for his share in some contracts made with a
very wealthy capitalist in New York that
Capt. Fuller has been brought to grief.
Gen. Hunters resources have been patient
" but persistently pursued, and be is now
in position to strike with effect at the
nest of army jobbers and plunderers who
have heretofore pursued uninterruptedIy
their avocations at Hilton Head and the
city of New York.
