McClellan's Army.
New YORK, August ga Times CORES
pondent states<hat tie portion of McClellan's
army which embarked at Yorktown has al
ready arrived at Alexandria. The corps under
command of Gen. Franklin, which embarked
at Fort Monroe on Friday, arrived at Alex
andria to-day. 1t is also reported another
corps will come to the same place tomorrow.
In fact appearances Indicate that the entire
army of the Potomac, excepting Gen. Porter's
corps, which went to Fredericksburg last week,
will make Camp California, the old camping
ground, two and half miles from Alexan-
| dria, temporary rendezvous.
1t is the opinion here that the troops now
at Alexandria, will, in the course of day or
two, proceed to join Pope's army. 1 am in
formed that Kearney's division, which arrived
at Alexandria about the middle of last week,
took part in the engagement which occurred
near Warrenton yesterday.
The new regiments are already pouring into
Alexandria, and every day they are sent for
ward to join the army.

NEW YoRK, Aug. 26.-The HeraLd's War
renton Junction correspondent says military
critics profess to believe our forced advances
to the Rapidan were premRturely made.
jackson disturbed our figures somewhat at
Cedar Mountain, and possibly derapged our
calculations, and, as consequence, be and his
coadjutors asssil US now within thirty miles of
Manassas, and with the largest army the reb-
els have ever rallied, East or West. We all
look hopefully for the coming of Mcclellan.
| Burnside's troops are here. If the new lev
les were ever needed it is at this time. Gen.
| Pope is still held to be equal to any emergency.
The crippled but indomitable Banks is still
with his command, and Mcdowell has an OPP
portunity to wipe away a bloody recollection
within cannon shot of Bull Run, for he is
active and everywhere present.
| The Rsppahannoek correspondent of the
! Tribune says the greatest crisis of this war
occurred between Thursday morning and Sat
urday night. 1t is passed, and we are safe.
| Our army is SAFE for Pope's artillery is now
| guarding the line of the Rappabannock, and
Fitz John Porter, with heavy force, joined
| Pope on Friday evening, and host of regi-
ments have joined and are joining him now,
| by the way of Alexandria, and now look for
| tho grand movements of the war within thirty
days. Do not forget that Burnside has massed
large army at Fredericksburg, and Pope is
| nearly or quite as strong as Lee and jackson,
and Mcclellan is freed from the net which
held him in its meshes on the peninsula. 's4f
