st, and their answers give good evidence of treasonable intention. It is generally expected that operations of great moment will take place to-day, but whether the severe skirmishes of yesterday will culminate in a general action, is a point impossible to determine; but should this be the case, we are fully sure that all our preparations will result in brilliant victory, despite the traps, ambuscades, and etty cunning of the enemy evinced on many occasions as on yesterday. As General McClellan may claim the severe skirmish of yesterday as another "Federal victory," we will simply say that the brave 1st Louisianians were opposed to not less than seven Yankee regiments as the following prisoners captured by them testify: for in addition to the seizure of Captain James McKernan, of the 7th New Jersey, there are also the following visitors to Libby's warehouse: 1 Sergeant, 2 Corporals, 2 Musicians, 6 privates — in all, 12 prisoners, part of Sickles's Excelsior brigade, 7th N.

cknowledge "Stonewall" (only) a successful "partisan" leader — hoping by thus dubbing him to render his victories less imposing, their defeats less disastrous. At the same time they admit "that his movements have in a measure checked those of McClellan, preventing him from receiving certain reinforcements which are desirable, if not needed." Camp reports are of the most extravagant nature. One day Jackson's whole command was cut off and surrounded; the next, himself, with 15,000 men, arerely troubled in arranging discrepancies. "On Saturday," say they "we were driven by superior numbers from our position, which was occupied by raw troops; but on Sunday we effectually routed your columns at the point of the bayonet." This McClellan reports officially, at the same time acknowledging a heavy and almost irreparable loss. Our loss is reported heavier than theirs. We are accustomed to such extravagant misrepresentations, and can readily pass it by without comment. The s

The Exploit of Stuart's cavalry.Another Federal account. A letter in the Philadelphia Press, dated White House, June 14, gives the fullest Yankee version that we have yet seen of the recent cavalry reconnaissance in the rear of McClellan's army. After staling that the daring "rebels" crossed the Pamunkey "from Prince William county to Garlick's Landing" four miles above the White House, where they burned the vessels and captured and destroyed other property, the writer proceeds: The s entirely owing to the fact that everybody was ignorant of the numbers and force of the rebels, and their fears at once magnified a few hundred cavalry into the entire rebel army, which they alleged had left Richmond and come around to cut off McClellan in the rear. Another unfortunate circumstance here was the very small number of effective troops at this place, and, under an impression of immediate attack, Col. Ingalls, in command here, mustered whatever there was to muster, and, in add

e ments of the war. As a specimen, we commence with a paragraph from an article headed. The situation. The War Department has received a dispatch from General McClellan's headquarters, announcing that Colonel Averill had just returned with his cavalry, from a reconnaissance to the Mattaponi river, after a band of those guerrhas made a reconnaissance to Charles City Court-House, recovering some mules driven off by the rebel Colonel Stuart in the recent raid on the Pamunkey river. General McClellan complimented both officers on the success of their movements. Further than these movements there is nothing to report from the Army of the Potomac. The pparently unbounded confidence in the military skill and promises of Gen. Johnston; that the rebel soldiers still believe that the tide will be turned against Gen. McClellan, and that the war, on the part of the victorious South, will be carried across the Potomac into Maryland and the North. It appears, too, that the army of Joh

y. Another great military reason for the evacuation of these cities, and which will be continued even in the case of Richmond, if necessary, is, that the advance of the Northern army into the heart of the country, far from its supplies and with the most imperfect means of transport, will be attended with the most lamentable results to that army. The suffering will be nearer akin to that of the grand army of France in its invasion of Russia than any other calamity known in history. Gen. McClellan may successfully advance, he may capture Richmond, he may chase the enemy beyond the city and into the woods, but that enemy, always retreating and desolating the country as he proceeds, will leave little sustenance behind him for an invading army. They advance in a country thoroughly hostile to them, the railroads and bridges destroyed, the country roads impassable to an army accompanied by artillery. * * * * * The friends of the South, therefore, need not doubt the ultimate succe
