August 7, 1862.

ills which were in possession of the
yesterday. Our Brigade was en-
|ed on Monday and yesterday, ir.
iking tho advance of the enemy
nrds Clinch River,' and Wo succeeded
riving them to this riclge, whioh
managed to hold until about noon
onlay; they were then surprised by,
rtion of our forces, under eom-
>nd of Gen. Stovonson, wlio flanked*
■non their right, causing them to
back to a ridge about half a mile
other side of Tazewell. Tho en-
pment was quite brisk for an hour
two. The 3d Tes.nesseo Regiment

iccedad in capturing it; but a prom-
support not coming up in time,
V were obliged to fall buck, rctain-
po«ezzinn of only two of tiro pie-

Jut have been interesting to the ln :

I fust for awhilo, but little damage
i done on our side; a trail hand spike

Movements of tho Enemy on James
River.
The Petersburg Express has itifer-
mation from n source entitled fo credit,
that the enemy are advancing from
the smith side of James river—one
column moving towards Petersburg by
way of Gurysville, nnd tho other on
the river road. Tho latter were
reported uoar Merchants’ Hope churoh
Prince George county, about fourteen
miles from Petersburg, on Tuesday last.
A letter from a citizen of Surry country
says that the enemy landed 10,000 men
ut May cock’s, on Saturday and Sunday
last, nnd othors stifte that 5,000 were
landed on Tuosdav at Coggin’s Point.
These numbers, however, 'are 'more
estimates and are probably muoh ex
aggerated. The Foderals aro said to
lie throwing a pontoon bridge across
the rWer at Coggin’s Point.
86ST All the reports wo have concur
in representing the outrage of the army
under Pope as intolerable. Upon the
negroes tfio recent orders have had a
most deplorabla effect, and they are
said to have become icsolent beyond
forbearance. Sotno days ago) the
coachman of a gentleman named Som-
orvlle, in Cnlpeper county, wulkod into
ids mu?tor’s chamber, arrayed himself
his best suit of clothes, took his watch
and chain, returned to tho pirlor, nnd
impudently told his master that for
tho fiituro he might drive his own
coach. Cases are reported where the
negro women-have attempted to slap
the jaws of their, mistresses, and it is
quite common for them to dress in their
mistresses' clothes, put on their jewelry,
and leave them in daylight, witli tiie
unpleasant assurance that they are
going to play tho piano for the "North
ern gentlemen.’’—RieA. Dts.

An immense war meeting was held
in Washington City on Wednesday
lost. Old Abe was presont and made
a speech. He referred to tiie quarrel
between McClellan and tho Secretary
of War, and said that the dispute was
not so serious as was supposed and that
it arose simply from the question of
how man) men McClellan had—many
supposing that the Secretary of War
had not reinforced him to the extent
that he might havo done. This was not
The Secretary of War had never
withheld any one thing he had power
to give, and was not to blame for not
giving when he had nono to give. In
conclusion ho referred to McClellan in
complimentary terms; said he believed
him to bo a brave and able man ; and
took upon himself what had been charg
ed upon tho Secretary of War—the
withdrawal of men from him.
Speoches wore also made by Goneral
Shields, Hon. Robort Walker, Senator
Hariand, ex-Gov. Boulwcll, of Mnssn

it was announced that lie was the man

says:
Dr. Curtis, of, Ilauover, whoso house

Clellan as his headquarters has come
into ‘lie city since tiie retreat of the
grand army. Ho speaks of the Young-
Napoleon as an intelligent and agreea
ble gentleman, but (is tho most dqject-
The cares anu difficulties of the more
than herculean labor lie assumed of
reducing Richmond, had made him ap
pear prematurely old. Frequently, said
tho Doctor, did he reprove tho levity
ef the officers of his staff with regard
to the terrible work before them. On
one occasion, a Colonel, careful of his
goodly person, was lamenting the want
of his daily bath, when a flippant Ma
jor said to him.: "Ah, never mind, wo
shall soon be in Richmond, and it will
be all right then.” "Don’t be too sure,
of that, sir,” said McClelinn with a smile
Never did the Doctor hear him give
utterance to a word implying a belief
that ho would take 'Richmond, And
yet, this care worn man, wlio roturned
to headquarters every evening -weary
in body and mind could, assume a
confidence he did not feel, addressing
his troops with such stuff as ,"holding
the rebels nt bay in their last strong
hold,” nnd promising Lincoln by tel
egraph that 'he should “push the
enemy to wall,” and sent to the
Northern pople the news of another
and final brilliant victory to-morrow.
