Annual election.

The annual election for officers of the
Evansville Library Association takes place
this evening. The ticket put in nomination
by the retiring Board is very good one,
but we regret so little interest is manifested
by the stockholders as not to get up an op-
position. An animated election gives vitali-
ty TO the Institution. The following is the
regular ticket:
For President-SanI. Bayard.
For Wee Pres ident-S. K. LeaVitt.
For Corresponding SecretaTy-John F.
Crisp.
For Recording Secretary-James H. Cut
Ter.
For Treasurer Philip Decker, Jr.
For Directories. Orr, W. T. Iglehart,

WAsHIE eToN, July 1.-THE Richmond
Examiner of the 7tb, received here, dis
coursing on Gen. hcClellans present posi-
ton. says: We believe all that was known
in this city yesterday, outside of the gen.
eral bureaus, Vas that the enemy had taken
position with one of his TANKS resting on
the river about Berkeley, covered by the
gunboats, and his extreme right reaching
TO Harrison Landing.
His position is defended by an almost
impossible mcrass.
His position present but one vulnerable
point through the piece of level country
northwest of Westever Landing, quarter
to half mile in width, between the head
OF the rayine and the point where Herring
Creek crosses the Charles City road.
Already this entrance to his stronghold
is within range of his gunboats, and of his
siege guns, which are planted on the ele-
waited hills. Whilst our ammunition asd
stores must be wagoned a distance of nearly
forty miles,. bis steamers and transports are
running up to the very doors of his tents.
Ten days ago, and Mcclellan beIeagured
Richmond. With the exception of about
FIVE miles of the Chickahominy swamps, be
occupied the most wet and un healthy To-
cation in Eastern Virginia, with Seven
Pines as his headquarters. The very pick
and flower of the Northern army was con-
centrated here, aud for two weeks their
vigor and numbers melted away under the
inf ucnce of miasma, bad water, and a
Southern cline. But by his hasty trip
thence through White Oak swamps, McClel-
Ian has emerged with thinned ranks.
1t was supposed that the enemy would
have been attacked yesterday, but there
bad been no fighting up to the last accounts
1t is not to be supposed the enemy selected
these plantations as the scene of his last
great stand without good reasons. The
first and most apparent of these is, that
Westover Landing is perhaps the best on
the James river, and the stream for miles
up and down being broad and deep, affords
both an excellent sea and anchorage for his
gunboats and transports. But this is by no
means the only advantage Of the position.
Towards Berkeley are impossible ravines
which run from near Charles City Roads to
James River, making successful attack
from that quarter next to impossible
Within quarter of a mile from where
these ravines begin, Herring creek crosses
the Charles City road. The whole course
of this creek is one impossible morass,
while along its north and eastern banks ex-
tends high elevations.
