The extra session Of the United
States congress adjourned on Aug. G.
One Of its last acts was to raise the
pay of Union soldiers two dollars per
month Among the army and navy
officers confirmed by the Senate were
the following: Major Generals McClel-
Ian, Fremont, Banks, Dix and Butler
Brigadier Generals Mansfield, Nc
Dowell, Rosecrans, Anderson, Meigs,
Thomas, Mccall, Curtis. Kearney,
Reynolds, Heintzelman, Porter, Frank
lin, Stone. Sherman, Hooker, Lander,
Baker, Kelly, Lyon, Pope, Cox, Hurl-
burt, Schenck. Prentiss, Grant, Sigel,
Couch, Sprague, Burnside, Montgom-
cry, Phelps, Villa us, Buel, Cakes.
Hamilton and McClernand. On Aug. g
the president nominated an additional
list Of brigadier generals, among the
list being the following. O. NJ. Mitch
ell, Lewis Blenker. Henry w. Slocum,
James 8. Wadsworth, John ]. Peck,
John II. Martindale and George Nor
rell. Notwithstanding the fact that
Lincoln made jocular remarks about
the number of brigadiers he appoint
ed, most OF these men made names
for themselves In the war, some Of
them taking rank among the worlds
great commanders. Grant was en-
camped at Ironton, in the beautiful
Arcadia valley, in southeast Missouri
when he received his commission as
brigadier general. Opportunity was
at last coming his way and she would
find him at home.
Nor was the promotion Of officers the
only sign of activity on the part OF
the administration. On April Is the
president issued a proclamation that
the eleven states forming the Confed-
eracy were in insurrection against the
government, that all commercial rela-
lions with them were suspended and
that all goods taken in passing be-
tween the two sections and vehicles
conveying the same were forfeited.
Washington Still Menaced.
There was now a renewed rumor
that Johnson and Beauregard were
about to attack Washington. McClel-
Ian had been expecting such an attack
and had finally succeeded in convinc-
ing General Scott and others that there
was actual danger. On Aug. II the
president issued another proclamation,
to the effect that all troops from
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont,
Rhode Island. New Hampshire, Maine
and Michigan should be sent imme
diately to Washington.
These were exceedingly busy days
for General Mcclellan. His letters
fairly breathe Of hustle, anxiety and
preparation. On Aug. 8 he writes: "I
have scarcely slept one moment for
the last three nights, knowing we'll
that the enemy intend some move

have" The next day it is even worse.
Il am in a terrible place" he says
'"The enemy have from three to four
times my force; the president, the old
general, cannot or will not see the true
state of affairs" But that night there
Is a rift in the clouds. General Scott
IS at last opening his eyes," runs this
letter, TO the fact that am right and
that we are in imminent danger" On
Aug. Is he is still more hopeful. "If
Beauregard does not attack in two
days he has lost every chance Of sue
cess" On the 10Th Mcclellan adds,
IF this week passes without battle
and re-enforcements come in I shall
feel that the dangerous point is
turned"
1t is not without interest that the
enemy agreed with this estimate, for
on the very same day, Aug. 10, the
Richmond Dispatch said that ut is
too late to attack Washington" but
advocated later the capture Of Phila-
delphia and New York

Mcclellan had time to see much Of
Prince Napoleon, Of whom he speaks
often in his letters and whom he finds
an Intelligent man."
"Scott the Great Obstacle"
These letters throw a revealing light
on the inner nature of Mcclellan, his
strength and weakness. He is an I'M
firing worker, for one thing. and is in
spring the army with his own energy.
On Aug. 8 he writes: II have had a
busy day. Started from here at in
the morning and was In the saddle I'M
til about 9 this evening; rode over the
advanced position on the other side Of
the river, was soundly drenched in a

Cohfederates near Grafton, killing
twenty one.
Naval activity had been on the in
crease through the summer, most of
the effort on the Union side being di-
rected toward enforcing the blockade
and suppressing Confederate priva-
teers. There were several minor en-.
gagements about the middle Of August.
1t was reported that the United States
steamer South Carolina had captured
or destroyed eleven sailships trying to
run the blockade. A little earlier the
Confederate privateer Petrol was sunk
by the United States frigate st. Law
renee, two of the crew being drowned
and thirty-fve taken prisoners. Another
Union boat, the Wabash, recaptured
the Mary Alice, formerly taken by the
privateer Dixie. On Aug. 10 the United
States gunboat Union burned the Con-
federate privateer York and captured
the George B. Baker that had pre-
viously been taken from the north and
manned with southern crew.
Many New Generals Named.
