By midnight mounted officers and civil
ians began to arrive in Washington; but
not until the next day, when the rain was
pouring down in torrents-that dreadful
drenching rain that continued for sc
hours, with but slight intermission-did
the poor, hungry, fagged-out soldiers COM
mence struggling in. That they were
promptly and properly fed by the people,
rich and poor, who threw open their doors
and gave what they coHld to alleviate the
suffering of these brave but unfortunate
men, speaks volumes for the unselfish
generosity of the loyal families of the Cap
ital during that period.
1t was while this discouragins state Of
affairs existed that Gen. Mcclellan was
called TO Washington to assume control Of
the troops, Gen. RoSecrans having sue
cee3ed him in the command of the Army
of the West. Considering his recent sue
cess in West Virginia, and the military
skill and judgment there displayed by him,
it is but natural that Mcclellan should
have been selected to re-create the army,
which was destined to defend the Capt.
tai for the next three years.
His arrival in Washington, July 81, was
hailed with genuine delight by officers and
citizens, for at that date he held the cs-
teen and confidence and admiration of all
loyal people. 1t was an immense respon-
sibility which devolved upon him, but he
accepted it cheerfuly, and took up his
task with that energy, tact and pcrSever-
ance which precluded all possibility of
failure. When first called to the COM
mand he found a mere collection of regi-
ments, undisciplined. undrilled and dispir-
tied, covering on the banks of the Poto-
mac, and with only such material to work
upon, he soon organized, equipped and
trained, with rare skill, that grand body
of troops which he afterwards led in The
of the Peninsula.

Gen. Wise having been assigned to the

Gen. Garnett had posted himself in the
pass at Laurel Hill, with an additional
force at Beverly, while another detach-
ment. under Col. Pegram, had estab-
lished itself in the pass at Rich Noun
tam. Here he had intended to fortify
himself and to await a favorable oppOr-
tunity for breaking the railroad. He
found affairs upon his arrival in mis-
erable condition; the troops were dis0r-
ganized and without discipline. arms or
ammunition, and Gen. Lee Immediately
sent him reinfOrcements.
BATTLE OF RICH MOUNTAIN.
This was the condition of affairs when,
early in July, 1861. Gen. Mcclellan re-
solved to take the offensive and drive the
rebels from West Virginia. In this cam
paign he received material aid and assist
ance from that brave officer, Gen. Rose
Grams, who by superhuman excrtions pen
etrated the pathless forest, cutting and
climbing his way to the very crest Of
Rich Mountain.
This movement, difficult as it was, to
the south of the rebels, was n complete
surprise to the enemy, who was expecting
their arrival from the north.
They made Il gallant resistance, how
ever, but the Union forces had such an
advantage that the contest was quickly
decided. The rebel forces were driven
from their breastworks and were COM
PEELED to take refuge in thickets or the
mountains. Their confusion was deplora
bic, and their defeat unmistakable.
This victory placed the enemy in a
very precarious position. Mcclellan was
in his front and RoseGrans in secure pos

TRAVELLING IN ENGLAND.
One American Who Prefers British
Methods to Those Used Here.

1t is still, to my mind. an oper ques-
ton whether the English or the American
mode of railway travelling is the more
comfortable. One oscillates between the
two systems N a state OF painful indie
cision, with views that vary according
to the experiences of each journey. At
present the English system has my vote
Nothing at any rate could have been
more easily managed than yesterday
journey My companion and myself took
a hanson from our doorstep and drove to
Euston with the baggage on top. AT the
station the difficulty was not to get
waited on. but to prevent more than one
porter from forcing his services upon us
In three minutes after dismissing the cab
we had bought the tickets and had found
and were seated In an empty compart-
ment. The baggage was labeled and
put in the luggage van a few yards ahead
of US, and the porter pocketed a tip of
pence not only without grumbIing, but
with an obvious recognition that his
services might have been had for a penny
OF even twopence less. Nothing so far
could have been simpler. We had the car
riage to ourselves, and neither at Willes-
den nor Coventry, the only two places at
which We stopped. did anyone attempt to
get In.
The English railroad carriages are of
three classes, first, second. and third The
first class seats only six persons leaving
ample showroom for each; the second
and third seat ten, five on each side. The
difference between the last two classes is
mainly one of upholstery and price, and
sometimes of position. The holders of
third class tickets are usually placed next
to the engine. where they may bear the
brunt Of a collision or at the end Of the

The lingerer in Broad Street station aft
er midnight may see an odd sight-the
cleaning of the great terminal by the use
of a blast of compressed air. Not a nov
city by any means, nor an oddly, for the
same process is in use elsewhere.
The air current has long been in use in
connection with Pullman cars. and with
the cleaning of cushions in them and 9TH

introduced for the purpose of taking the
dust off the walls and decorations in the
station. for which purpose it is found far
more satisfactory than the bucket. buster,

train where the joltihg is the greatest.
| 1t may perhaps be necessary to remind
those who have NOT been in England that
the ordinary railroad carriage here is
nothing like the American car If one
were to take a New York Central car and
divide 1t into eight wRter-tight compart-
| ments. each about seven or eight feet
long and ten or twelve wide and each
| complete in itself. and were to label each
compartment a carriage, one would get
a rough but fairly accurate idea of what
is still the distinguishing feature of rail-
roads in England The English carriages
do not communicate with one another;
their doors open onto space when in mo-
ton or onto platform when drawn up
in a station, and none of them Is supposed
to hold more than ten people. There are
two seats. facing one another and run
ming along the width OF the carriage.
over the seats are racks for ones lighter
baggage and from the centre of the car
riage roof a lamp is suspended. Under
certain circumstances-for instance, when
one has the carriage to oneself-EngIish
travelling is a delight. The carriages on
all the chief lines are at least as COM
Portable as the Pullman car on an Ameri-
can road, and it is not so difficult as 1t

ders elsewhere.
Yesterday there was no need to call in
the guard My companion and myself by
sheer good fortune had the carriage to
ourselves all the way from London to
Birmingham. When the train drew up
at New Street station it was the work of
less than three minutes to have a porter
pick out our baggage and call up ham
som. Had we been in America we should
have been obliged 0) to make a special
expedition to purchase our tickets day
or two before We intended to use them;
g) to send round for an express company
to take charge of our baggage; so to
travel in a car with some fifteen or
twenty other people; (D to submit to the
