General Me- j d Clellan we are told, met General Patter- ! u General McClellan sent down 533 reb el prisoners to-day, who were marched in to Fottress Monroe in single’’file, and a move unique spectacle never could be dr eamed of. They wore all sorts of dress. No two were alike, and they were dirty, ngy and worn out.

As he went in he beat the air with his right hand clenched, from which all present inferred there was.bad news. To the astonishment of the writer it was subsequently explained that tbe whole army of the Potomac lay stretched along the banks of the river where vve lay having fought their way all through from Fair Oaks, a distance of thirty miles. Gen. McClellan, however, claimed that his troops “had fought the Confederates in superior numbers every day for a week, and whipped them every time.” To a question as to the, location of certain divi sions and their Generals, the answer was followed ti. Among the rebel prisoners are fifty offi cers, two Colonels, three Lieutenant.-Colo nels, and three majors. The following are included in the number: Major John Link, Seventh, Louis iana.

The same day I mounted him for a ride, and before proceeding one hundred yards, he stumbled on his knees, throwing me ten feet over his head and burying me almost in a sand bed. I was badly bruised, though no bones were broken. That night he jumped the fence in the cowardly, that here, now, I might reward and punish by directing upon each indi vidual the respect or the contempt of a whole people ! That scene was not one lo be forgotten.

They looked, says the writer, “as if they were covered to the crown of the head with mud, their faces and clothes were literally coated while their shoes and boots had several pounds of the nasty, yellow stuff stuck into and all around them. But the men were safe for the present, and ready to fight again if reiutorced. The safety of the army says the Tribune, howevei, is by no means assured, if we may credit the statements made by this writer. He tells us that “the enemy is in large force on the east side of theChick- ahoiniiiy, and threatens not only .McClel lan’s right wing but tbe navigation of tbe James River. * * * * *Fhe construction of batteries so as to intercept the navigation of the'river, would be lav- smoke, and the sun just disappearing, large j I1( j di, ect b foge to McClellan’s position, and blood red—I can not picture it, but I see it, and always shall. Huddled among the wagons were 10.000 stragglers—for the credit of the nation he it saitl that four-fifth i of them were woun ded, sick, or utterly exhausted, and could not have stirred but for dread of the to bacco warehouses of the South.

For the benefit of those who are wonder ing what they shall do for summer stock ings. let me give them the directions requi site for knitting a pair of Magic or Rail way Stockings. I hey can be knit of the yarn spun by almostany one living in the country, or with that made at the cotton factories, and at such a little cost of both money and time, that they had in many places been made for years before this war began, the directions have also been prin ted before, but so long ago, I-presume, many have forgotten them, and will take it as a favor to have them printed again. < )n common sized knitting-needles, cast on thirtv-two or thirty-six stitches and rib an inch; then bind off, pulling tbe thread through the last stitch, to prevent its rav cling. Alter this, pick up all the stitches aud knit plain, without seaming or nar rowing, for a finger and a half, th-n drop everj* other stitch, and pull the stocking carefully till the dropped stitelms are run or raveled down to the ribbing. The stitches on the needles can be narrowed off like the toe of any stocking. Tbe foot will shape this stocking, and ifa piece of cloth be sewed in on the heel, it will add much to its durability. Shoes aic not quite as easily made as stockings, but they, too, can be home made by a little effort. Cut a pattern Oy an old gaiter, and out of a piece of homespun, dyed some pretty color, if you can’t get anything nicer, cut a pair of tops, and make them by looking at the old gaiter. Then, if you can get pair of ne w eolea, with the holes mail'* ^ ol needle, well and puua, you have nothing to do but sew the tops on them, and you have a nice pair of gaffers; but if you chn’t get new soles, use nn old pair, or even a common piece of leather, if you can do no better. One pair of new soles will wear out two or three pair of tops. It is well to have a last, in sewing on the 6ole$ when one can be had.

Tbe Price of Victory. ’ The shout of victory is ever followed by the sob of distress. The lauiel however bright is interwoved with the sombre cy press. Such is our experience now. The vic tories won by our heroic army near Rich mond, have saved our fair city, have loos ened the heavy grip of war everywhere, and have filled the farthest nook and the' humblest dwelling in our land with over flowing joy and with gratitude to God.— Truly we have been favored with a great deliverance, and we do well to utter our * songs of thanksgiving. But when we re member bow many of the brave men who achieved this great good for their countiy, lived not to enjoy it themselves ; when we reflect that as to them the shout of victory falls on ‘the dull cold ear of death when we run over the sad catalogue of the dead and count the names of dear familiar friends, and when with that fraternal sen timent which grows out of common devo tion to a * common cause, we widen the leach of our affection and claim them all as our brothers-no wonder that our hearts aie wrung with agony. And there is another and still more nu merous class that appeals to our sympa thies and demands our friendly solicitude. We allude to the thousands of our wound ed. The bed on which some of ihem are languishing, is the bed of death. Let them hear in these their hist days, none but words of tenderness, and let them have every alleviation of their sufferings that the gentlest kindness can supply. Others are destined to longer or shortei periods of loneliness and helplessness and suffering ere they take their places among us agaiu ; and others when they appear will be maimed or disabled for life. Let their sick chamber be cheered by the visits and the attentions of friendly sympathisers ever ready to promote their comfort. . We repeat that the list of tiie slain and of the wounded is a borrowing one. But yet what survivor would have had the friend he mourns do other than lie did ? In “the perverted currents of this world” it often happens that liberty cannot be preserved without the peril of life. It was so in the days of our revolutionary fathets- It is so now. Men who perver- led their league of friendship with us into an unbridled despotism, and valued the covenant which pledged them to offices of good will and justice only as a cord which uind the victim to the stake, arc now fill ing our land with soldiers, and endeavor ing with arms to enforce their arbitrary and ruinous designs. We might have pur chased a present peace by submission. But who that feels the inovings of the soul within him, would not sooner die a free man than live a slave ? From the vene rable building tbat still stands on Rich mond’s highest hill, surrounded by the Jotnbs of our colonial ancestors, Patrick Henry spoke words which yet ring through our land : ‘‘Is life so dear, aud peace so sweet, as to be puichasedaf tbe price of chains and slavery ? Forbid it Almighty God ! For my part, whatever others may say, give me liberty or give in& dfatli!” Thus spoke the man best fitted of all his generation to interpret the feelings that auimated his countrymen. Men called him an orator ; he was simply a wise man with a warm heart. He was but the prophet of his people. Death, the fate of all, comes sooner or later to all ; it is only a question of a few days between a long life and a short one. And as there is no death as glorious as that which findsa man at the post of duty, so the glory will increase in proportion as the duty is invested with perils and re sponsibilities. No wonder then that.«in ’ tiie figurative songs of the Christian as well in the annals of human lamer it is considered an especial glory “to die on the field of battle,” in a good cause. The poet after painting the terribleness of death to such as are found in the pursuits of domestic life, lias a different strain for the fallen warrior victorious in his coun try’s cause: “But to the Hero, when his sword Has won the battle for the free. Death comes like a prophet’s word, Aud in his hollow tones are heard The thanks of millions yet to be.” The poet speaks truly in the above.— The millions of the Confederate States will never cease to remember with affec tion our martyrs to the cause of liberty, while they value liberty or respect them selves. Nor will they forget tbe wounded and the maimed* Their honorable scars will be their certificates of merit and their pass ports to favor. Let them be honored and succored in their respective neighborhoods, and let them experience in the hour of ne cessity, the kind remembrance and foster ing hand of their government. The soldiers of the Revolution have so long disappeaied from among us, tbat those of us who remember them ate our selves becoming gray-headed. But who fails to recollect with what feeling of ven eration he gazed when a boy, when told “there goes a revolutionary soldier.”— And h*»w all such fouud a home aud an arm chair near the fire, wherever they called ? Thus will this generation and posterity regard the soldiers of Confeder ate independence. Remembrance ol the dead, assistance to the needy, honor and affection and “thanks” to ail !
