Of the case Of General MilrOy, whose di-
vision was substantially lost near Win

the conclusion that no serious blame at
taches to that officer, and that no court
martial is deemed necessary or proper in
the case. General MilrOy was not ordered
70 withdraw. His last order was to pre-
pare to withdraw, but not TO actually
withdraw until further orders, which fur
ther orders never reached him-Lee hav-
ing cut the wires. General Milroy, on a

The resident population Of Virginia,
Nevada Territory, on the 1st Of July ives
estimated at fifteen thousand, the daily
average number of transient visitors being
as many more. Main street which is the
Broadway and Wall of the city, is some
three quarters of q mile in length, is
crowded with every grade and description,
a large proportion being elegantly dressed
males and females.
The buildings on Main street are mostly
brick, the first story iron, open in front
This gives light cheerful appearance to
the street. especially in the night time
when brilliantly lighted with gas. Many
Of the buildings in the city are provided
with vaults and salamsnders the four

proof now going up, all have one or both
Of these indispensable features. Some of
the streets are SO blocked up with lumber,
brick and mortar, that teams are at times
unable to get along; common labOrers get
from 81 to IS day, without board.
The city supports four daily newspapers,
a theatre, opera house. several churches,
any number of negro minstreIs and melo-
dists, to say nothing of the institutions
already enumerated above.
No one who has not been there can form
an idea Of the amount Of treasure to be
seen N passing through Main street. AT
Wells s. Fargo's banking house and ex-
press Office it is not uncommon to see tons
OF "silver bricks wheeled in and out in
the course Of an hour. These bricks"
in shape, resemble the ordinary fire brick,
but are much larger, and from nine hun
dred and eighty-fve to nine hundred and
ninety percent. fneness, which is ten TO
fifteen percent. pure silver-agersging

No returns from Delaware, Mary lsI d,
Virginis, Tennessee or California. Of
this vast total we have no means of show
ing how many were in the field at sny Cne
time.
From it ia 70 he autsiracted all who we're
killed, all who died, all who were dis
charged, and all who deserted. These can
not new be got at, nor have We seen any
estimate Of them.
To proximate the present strength Of
our army, a further deduction must be
made fer the losses by the same cause,
since January lst, 1868; and there should
be added for conscripis, and volunteers
since that date, about 100000, and, also,
those contributed from the States not in
cluded in the above. There certainly
should be now in the field an army of not
less than one million men.
In addition to the above, New York fur
uished Is, 922 three months men, and &c.
l8l for twelve months Pennsy " anias
20979 three months men, and 10 100 nine
months. Ohio, 26, ,S93 three months -
Massachusetts,, 8 1856 three montbs, and
Ie, ,s96 nine months; and all the States
above named furnished for the three, and
many for the nine months service. The
whole grand aggregate Of all periods of
service from the States enumerated was
J,276,246 on the Ist day of January, 1863,
exclusive of the States above named, from
which no returns had been received.
1t is difficult to appreciate The vastness
ofthis number. Were these men all gathered
in compact body, and the order be given
to march 'sby fle," Zone after another, at
q distance Of two fee, it would be three
sossks aEd-a-k1lf before the last man would
start, providing the column marched twen-
miles day; and when they were all in
motion in such manner, the moving line
would extend four hundred and eighty
three miles, one hundred and thirty
six rods and a half We're they
standing in one rank and should
count off from right TO left, at the rate of
one number per second, it would take four
teen days, eighteen hours, thirty minutes
and forty six seconds to 60 through the
line, allowing no rest for sleeping or eat
ing. This is the contribution of the loyal
Americans for the purchase Of national
integrity and unity. Well may the world
stsDd in awe at such a spectacle.

There are daily reports Of hesvy skir-
mishing between portions of Mesde's and
Lees armies. Infantry skiruishing and
canuOnsding are both reported. Lee, though
he has been swinging about advancing
and retEeating, studiOusly avoids s gener-
al battle. Meade is pressing him, and np-
Pzrently aims to bring on = general en-
gagsment. Lees army, there is good rea-
son to believe, has been largely depleted,
to reinforce Bragg hence the rebel anx-
iety to avoid battle with the Potomac
army
Yesterday Washington was greatly e1-
cited BY runners Of great battle, which
proved TO be unfOuNded. May il moi h
expected that Meade viii improve now his
opportunity and force Lee, willing or un-
willing, to accept battle? -
Lee is bold, active and audscious. His
object seems to be to employ and enter
tain Meade without bringing on sgsneral
engagement, while strength Is added to
the rebel force before Chattanooga; for the
rspossessiOn Of that point, is the present
vital effort Of JEFF. Davis and his clan.
