the traffic upon it at present that it is literally covered from one end to the other with trains of wagons passing in both directions. The trade which formerly passed down the Baltic now seeks its outlet into Prussia by this route. So great is this now that it seems hardly possible that Russia can feel the effect of the blockade very sensibly. New channels are opened, and immense additional numbers of men, animals, and capital are now employed in the land-transportation. * * * * * June 20 and 21, Midnight.--I write this paragraph in my room by the natural light,--no candle or any thing whatever: you may imagine the darkness of the night here. During their residence at St. Petersburg, the officers of the commission were treated with much courtesy by the civil and military authorities, and all possible facilities were afforded to them for examining the various military establishments in the vicinity. They were presented to the Emperor, at his request, and graciously recei

Virginia was determined not to lose the fine country beyond the Alleghanies without a struggle. Large reinforcements arrived at Beverly, on the Staunton road, the Headquarters of the enemy; and with them came General Robert Selden Garnett, the former commandant at West Point, and an officer of high reputation, to assume the chief command.

m my Maker, I have written this letter with sincerity towards you and from love for my country. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, George B. McClellan, Major-General commanding. His Excellency A. Lincoln, President. In regard to this communication, two questions have arisen. First, Was it proper for General McClellan to write such a letter? This would seem to be answered by the statement that he had previously asked and obtained the President's permission to do so. On the 20th of June e h ad said, in a despatch, I would be glad to have permission to lay before your Excellency, by letter or telegraph, my views as to the present state of military affairs throughout the country; and the next day the President replied, in language marked by that personal kindness which generally characterized his communications, If it would not divert too much of your time and attention from the army under your immediate command, I would be glad to have your views as to the present state o
