The Condition OF the Army.

The following dispatch was received on Satur-
day. July 5th, at the War Department from an
officer of high rank ard character in General Nc
Ciellan's army:
Army of the Potomac, July 4, 1862.
The newspaper reporters having all gone of,
to prevent the people of the country being fright
ened to death, will simply state that at IL 10.
to day, Q national salute of "a guns was fred at
the headquarters of each army corps, and all the
bands are playing national airs.
The men are in first rate spirits, and the Gen.
sral is juet starting to visit al the troops.
The newspaper reporters and others who have
gone to the rear, do not represent the army of
the Potomac. We can't be beaten, and what il
more, We won't be beaten. We are oil right,
and always have been. II they will send rein
fercements enough to fll up our loss Of sick,
killed and wounded, We will take Richmond from
this point
Don't believe ary stampede reports you hear
there is no truth in them. ''Secesh" is smashed
up, and - soon - We can get rested and get sup.
plies, and few more men, We can use them up
completely.
This is . glorious Fourth Of July for us-al
right. We hear nothing Of the enemy to-day
Don't fear for the Army Of the Potomac.
In conclusion, would just state that the Pro
vost Marshal General found it unnecessary to or
der reporters to the rear, they having gone o.
their own accord.

In this hour OF national aXiety and Of peril,
we have no word OF reprOach or accusation for
