Condition OF ThinEs NJ Richmond
New York, july Is.

The Fredericksburgh correspondent Of
the Herald says:
Mayor Slaughter returned from Rich
mond the day before yesterday, complete
ly Disguised with affairs at the rebel head
quarters. He was sent by the citizens
last week, to procure the release of Gen.
Reynolds, but toll his great disappointment
he was coolly informed that the General
could not be released nor seen, and that
the Secretary Of War was equally inyisi-
BILE. After vainly endeavoring to obtain
an interview with the Secretary OF War,
Mayor Slaughter filed his petition and re
turned to Fredericksburg. He reports
Gen. Mccall in good health, and situated
Us comfortably as possible, under the cir
eumstanees.
The Richmond papers are received here
every other day, within 80 hours of their
issue, and there Is no. the least doubt
but the rebels have free and uninterrupt-
ed communication with parties within our
lines. Deserters come in occasionally.
who report that the authorities in Rich
mond have taken possession of almost
every house for hospital purposes. and
that great fear is manifested Of an cpl
demic, SO foul is the atmosphere through
out the entire city.
