HEAD QUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac.
Aug. 1G, 1861
Everything remains quiet in the front
of Petersburg The rebels for the past
two nights have been feeling our lines ON
the left, but nothing more than skirmish-
ing between the pickets has taken place
Deserterscontinue to arrive in small lsquads.
A Lieutenant and twelve men reached
here yesterday They tell the usual sto-
ries of the decentralization and the speedy
destruction OF the rebel army. Thous-
ands they say are leaving on account of
not receiving any pay, while their families
are starving, and they are determined to
stay in the rebel service no longer under
any circumstances. Gen. Park is now in
command of the 9th corps.
Additiona particulars have been receiv-
ed of the action on Sunday. A part of
the I'd Corps and part of the 10th Corps
were engaged with the enemy in the af-
ternoon near the Bottom. The 10th Corps
under Gen. Birney took part of the line
of works with four brass guns and num-
Der Of prisoners with small less. The
enemy fell back to strong position.
The I'd division of the I'd Corps was
drawn up in line of battle, and advanced
about mile beyond where Hancock cap
tured the four guns two weeks ago.
Here the first brigade, Col Macy, COM
manding, took the lead and charged across
a corn field, over a hill and down into
ravine, where they came to stream with
swamp on the other side, the ground be-
ing covered with impenetrable brush ON
the margins of it. During all this time
they exposed to avery heavy fire from
the Rebel artillery which did good deal
Of damage. 1t was found impossible to
cross the ravine and our men were halted
and lay concealed as swell as possible until
dark, when they were Withdrawn.
The Second divisionlo lost three hundred
men in the engagement. The First and
Third Divisions, which were in support,
lost about two hundred and fifty from the
effects Of the rebel artillery. The woun-
ded were all brought off, Our troops still
hold their position in front of the rebel
works, which are very strong and well
defended, owing to the nature of the
country in the vicinity.

The Pirate Tallahassee,

Captain Reed, of the y Billow, before
reported captured by the Tallahassee, gives
the following particulars Of his interview
with the pirate Captain
/ was two hours and half on the Tai
lahassee, She has one pivot gun, three
forward guns, and one brass rifed gun,
of large calibre, on the hurricane deck
She has also several spare guns.
Her Captain John Taylor Wood, was
quite free and unrescrycd in his talk with
US, and said he could steam 16 knots an
hour, and had crossed the British channel,
, ] miles in seyenty-two minutes
He would not fight, he said, unless
compelled to, and preferred to rum as his
vessel was so fast.
He also declared that within one week
he had destroyed over 50vesseis, and that
within 80 hours of my capture he had
destroyed sixteen sails, namely, three
ships, two barks, and the rest .hermaph-
rodite, brigs and schooners. One of the
ships was the Adriatic of New York.
captured the same day he took my YES
sci.
lie added that he would slacken up our
coasting trade so that Uncle Abe would
be glad to make peace.
He asked me aboutthe Nantucket light
boat, and afterwards said, recurring to his
designs that there were more aGoat than
the Florida and TdHahdssce meaning of
course the Confederate ships of similar
character to his own, and Uncle Abe had
better look out.
Captain Wood appeared very afable
and said he was performing an unpleasant
duty.
The Tallahassee is an iron steamer, of
English build, schooner rugged, has no
yard or top masts, and lost her main mast
in collision with the Adriatic She is a
very long, narrow vessel, burns soft coal
and has about a hundred men on board,
who are subject to the discipline and or
der of man-of-war All the officers are
Southeners, and she had three or four
negroes on board who did not appear very
jolly.

long time on cattle taken from Florida,
and by cutting off this supply we must
seriously affect their condition. A few
days ago the steamer Alice Price was run
aground in Nassau creek, Florida, the cap
tain being on board at the time. The
vessel remained fast for short time and
then went to pieces. She had on board
quantity of ordnance stores for Gen.
Birney's expedition She was an old
worthless boat, and was soon to be taken
from the Government service 1t is un-
derstood that rigid examination will be
instituted into the circumstances attend

CHARLEsToN.-It would seem from
several paragraphs of news in late Char
lesion papers we have received that an
attack upon that city is anticipated be
fore a great while The following item
is from the Mercury of the Sd instant.
I'VE oppose to making mention of mil
itary movements in the public press but
for the benefit of croakers who have look,
ed so forlorn ever since troops were with
drawn from the defense of this city to
strengthen the army Of Northern Vir-
ginia, it may be as well to state that the
first of several well tried regiments, the
number and strength of which we will
leave the enemy to discover, have arriv
ed in this department, and will be found
at the right place when the enemy snakes
his next advance.
1t is plain from this that the garrison
at Charleston has been pretty Thoroughly
depleted to strengthen Lees army; but
its chief significance, as we have said.
is the fact that it indicates an unpleasant
nervousness concerning the intenoions Of
Gen. Foster
The Charleston Courier, in making the
same announcement, cautiously observes
that sit is not deemed prudect to men
tion the exact strength of this force, but
it is encouraging to know that in the
newt effort of the enemy to take the city
the disprofortion of numbers will not be
so great as in the lasl campaign on John 5
and James Island which resulted so glo-
riously to our arms-PhH Press.

WHEELING, Aug 1l.-The following
dispatch, dated Cumberland, August 8,
has just been received by Gov. Boreman,
and fully confirms the report of the
scout:
attacked M'Causland at Morfeld
yesterday morning at daylight, and com
pletely routed his command, capturing his
artillery and 420 prisoners; also 400 hor-
ses and equipments, battle flags, and a
quantity of small arms. The number of
the enemy's killed is unknown, but large.
Gen. Bradley Johnston was captured
with his colors and three of his staff, but
subsequently escaped. Col. Peters, 21st
Virginia, rebel regiment, was mortally
wounded. McCausland escaSed to the
mountains. The enemy was pursued tow
ard Wordenville, Howard Dick and up
the south branch, from ten to twenty-five
miles. My command became SO wearied
with the chase and SO encountered with
prisoners and captured property, thought
1t best to bring 1t here. My loss is 7
killed and 81 wounded

SHE WAITS BY THE RIVER FOR NE.

Down by the murmuring stream,
That merrily winds through the valley,
I've wandered in days that are gone,
With the joy of my heart gentle Allie.
When dreaming Of childhood's biest scenes
There's one form that haunts me forever;
'Tis the form Of sweet Allie, my qneen,
And she waits by the banks of the river.
Oh, light may the shadows Of care
Creep over the heart of sweet Allie;
She waits by the river for me
That merrily winds through the valley.
May the footsteps of Time move along
And leave me at last in the valley,
Where oft I've been charmed by the song
That flowed from the lips Of sweet Allie.
Oh, would that the bright sunny time
OF youth might still sparkle forever,
Like the waters that ceaselessly flow
In the channel Of our beloved river.
But, oh there is time enough yet
TO wander again with sweet Allie;
She waits by the river for me,
That nlerrily winds through the valley.

A Great Mans Friends Deserving
Him.

The New York HcruH, which has
striven more presistently than any other
paper in the land to puff Gen. Mcclellan
into notoriety, with the view of getting
him a few complimentary ballots at the
Chicago Convention, has begun to discoy-
er that he is not the available candidate
it has labored so earnestly to prove him,
and has consequently made another of
those changes of base for which it is so
celebrated. In its issue of Tuesday, after
attacking the World for its glorifcation
of the General it proceeds to speak of
him in the following disrespectful manner ::
" 1t will be stated as fact, however, which
cannot be denied, that General Nc Clellan's
Richmond campaign was failure, and
positively fearful to think Of, from his ter
riblc losses in men and all the materials of
war. 1t will be further said that General
Mcclellan, in his movements against the
enemy, betrayed too much Of the conf
dcnce of the inexperienced leader in his
promises to his army or no more defeats
and dnomore retreats, and in such dispatch
cs as this: that We shall drive the enc
my to the wall 1t will be said, too, that
from the unbQundcd confidence Of the
country in these promises of General Nc
Clelan the royulsion in the public mind
from his subsequent misfortuncs was inf
nitely moreFistressing and harder TO bear
than any other disappointmonts of the
war" What cause could have produced
this sudden cooling off of enthusiasm for
the foremost martyr of Abolitionism?
Last fall, the day before our gubcrnatorial
election, General Mcclellan wrote pub
lie letter, declaring his political sentiments
to be in perfect accord with Mr. Justice
Woodward, tie candidate of the Peace
faction for Governor. This summer the
same General Mcclellan in a classical but
slightly ungrammatical Grafton at West
Point expresses himself in favor of 4 con-
tinuance Of the war. Perhaps this slight
apparent inconsistency has been remem-
bcred to his prejudice, and explains the
HerahtS latest feat in acrobatics.

VOLUME l.
An Appeal to Loyal Men.

1t is fashionable now toabuse the Pres
ident, the administration, the military
management. Doubtless, all these have
their errors toanswer for Blow them up,
if that afords you any relief! We try 1t
often and feel better for it. But, when
YOU are through with that, we must tell
YOU. loyal countrymen! that yo@ are not
yourselves up to the mark-thatyou must
eyince different spirit from that which
gave Chambersburg to the flames, leaves
YOUR armies for months unpaid, and fills
their ranks with anything that will pass
for substitutes, or you are doomed to de-
feat! Doyou remember that Maryland
genius, acting as guide to British officer
over the field Of the fght-we mean the
fight-of Bladensburg, who, pressed to
explain the route of so large force Of
militia (himself included) by handful
of British regulars, finally scratched out
of his du.l head the explanation that
"Somehow or mother, they didn't seemto
take no interest ?" Let their lasting dis
grace warn you in time!
The war approaches its close Let US
promptly fill up the quota now called,
and the loan now asked for, and it may
bended triumphantly this fall. We are
confident that no further draft viii be
made or needed. But the two hundred
millions for which Mr.. Fessenden asked
ought to be subscribed at once. Our
eoldiers are fighting and dying unpaid,
because yo", for whsm they are fighting
and dying, will not lend your government
