There is no movement whatever of troops.
The officers are looking every day for the

From Richmond.

New YORK. July 90.
Col. Charles, of the Tammany regiment, has
been released by the rebels and has arrived
here. He saw the iron clad ram and also a
small iron gunboat at Richmond. He gives
a description of the former. He says the re-
bel government treat our wounded the same
as their own. Rebel officers admit that their
wounded, and ours, were dying so fast that
they could not bury them. Col. Charles says
the working classes of Richmond are Union
at heart, but the despotism of the government
prohibits the discussion of politics except in
the newspapers. The government was dispos-
ed to view the execution of Mumford at New
Orleans murder and make q demand for
Butler, and in case OF refusal to hang General
Mccall.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 10Th. says
the mortality there is very great among the
wounded Union prisoners. Twenty died on

of infantry and squadron of cavalry, crossed
Rapidan river on the 18th, and the water hav-
ing risen, they will find it very difficult to
keep open communication.
Gen. Lowell is in Richmond demanding a
Court OF inquiry as to the evacuation of New
Orleans.
The Enquirer urges a vigorous prosecution
of the war against Mcclellan and to invade
Maryland, or go TO Washington direct.
