GEN. MCCLELLAN TO HIS ARMY.
Gen. Mcclellan has issued a stirring adj
dress 10 his soldiers, announcing to them
The joyful news that they are no longer to
be kept inactive. The period for action
has come. He promises to bring them
face to face with the rebels, and tells them
that he shall demand great and heroic
eaert;ons- rapid and long marches, despc-
rate combats and severe privaions.
The army he describes as magnificent in
material, admirable IN discipline and in
structions, and e1cellently equipped and
armed; and oficered by skillful command
crs, and strengthened by 4 formidable ar
tillery lie predicts speedy and signal VIC
sc1y.
The whcle country expect great things
at the hands Of this mighty and magnifi-
cent force, which has consumed eight
months time and cost two hundred millions
in the work OF preparation. The undizci-
plincd western boys have shown the road
10 victory, regardless Of rain, snow expo
sure, 1nrd or other inpediments- They
have broken the back Of the rebellion and
spread terror throughout all secessla~ The
great army Of the Potomac is
now in motion to crush the
head Of the wounded fatHe-Rnake, and
J subdue the reInains Of tie accursed
! rro-slavery revolt. The country has little
faith IN 33strateggy,s' hut implicit conf.
i dcDce in the efficiency Of rapid forward
marches, and plentiful use Of grape and

Of Colonel Hendricks of the Goth Indiana, who
was killed at tile Battle Of Pea Ridge, Arkan-
sas, arrived here yesterday, accompanied by
his brother and two or three other gentle
men, who left The battle-ground on Monday
following the battle.
They represent the contest as having been
a terrible one. The rebels fought desperate
", using stones in their cannon when their
shot gave out Their force is stated at 81, GOO,
including 2c0 Indians under Albert Pike.
As near as can be ascerta5ned,
our loss is six hundred killed and
and 500 to 1000 wounded. The rebel sur
seonE, who came into our lines to dress the
wounds Of their soldiers, acknowledge loss
1,1co killed and from 2, 500 to 5000 wounded.
We took 1,Goo prisoners and thirteen pieces
Of artillery, ten Of which were captured By
Gen. Sige1's command and three By Col. Ps5

Two OF cur cannon, belonging to Davidson's
battery, were taken By the rebels, but were re,
