Late from MoOlellan's Army.
WASHINGTON, J ttly 21.—A gentleman
who arrived here 'this - afternoon-left
Gen. MeClellan'§ 'headquarters on
Saturday Morning . . He stated that
Gen McClellan is not in the least
dashed St the turn events have taken,
but is more confident than ever that
he will capture Richmond as soon as
the army is properly recruited. •
• Whenever he :appears on the field
the men pfiy him-a -perfect ovation.—
Even the sick • and wounded raise
their caps and crutches and shout
for him. He is perfeetlridolized by
the men in his command, and they
are anxious and eager for him again
to lead them into battle. • Their 'con
fidence.irr.him hafi .never been sha
ken. troops, are daily, improving
in health. General McClellan , re
ceives all his . supplies with great reg
ularity. • The_
- men are-now furnished
With most excellent` rations. They
are served with fresh beef four time§
a week.
The rebels are making a desper
ate attempt, to blockade the James
river. They are continually erecting
new, batteries in new positions, but
they are :invariably silenced by a
few shells from Apor
. gunboats:` Gen . .
McClellan says that the rebels never
will be able to close the James river
against him. The position now held
by our army is a most secure one.—
The only point of aft attack the reb
els have is Usi
. open space of about a
qttarter of a mile, which they cannot
enter in sufficient force to dislodge
our troops. The guns mounted at
this point would mo-w ;the• •rekiel3

The News from IfatelLon's Ariv.
From Harrison's Landing letters
of the 19th, we quote as follows 1--
Bquwirons of cavalry scout around
through the Sonutry between our
present posit i on fool our ':old camp,
taking prisoners every day, and
gaining much useful infOrmation,and
occasionally skirmishing with the
reel cavalry. The . day before yeS
terday, Captain McArthur, com
manding two squadrons of the Fifth
Regular Cavalry, and one of the
Fourth Pennsylvania, proceeded up
i,the Long v Bridge . road, some seven
iniles beyond our lines. The enemy
were posted in force atong this road,
and encountered the Fourth Penn
, Sylvania first, and after a short skir
mish, the Fourth fell back somewhat
disordered. The Fifth came to their
assistance, and soon drove the enemy
before the wind. • Three rebel saddles
were immediately emptied. Both
these regiments are in the First Cav
alry Brigade, now under the com
mand of Gen. Averell.
Our army, at the present time. is
really stronger, though decimated
greatly in point of numbers since
they left the vicinity of Washington,
than they were previous to the late
severe battles. They have become
enured to the fire, and no troops of
ancient Sparta fought better than
they did ; and what wilt they do in
the next battle ? Our troops are
rested, but the extreme heat debili
tates many poor fellDws who are on
the mend. A • little ,-coo.l weather
would• be a relief, indeed. A . few
convalescent soldiers arrive daily, and
again take their respective positions
in the ranks.
Skirmish with Guerrillas.
lIUDSON, Mo., July 21.—Informa
tion has reached here that Col. Mc-
Neal, with a detachment of Federal
troops, had a fight with Porter's
gang of guerrillas, near Memphis, in
which the rebels were badly wtip
ped. Our loss was five killed and
thirty wounded and missing. The
rebel loss was much greater, 23 be
ing left dead on the field. Col. Sta
cey, a notorious marauder of that
section, is among the killed. Col.
McNeil is still in pursuit of Porter's
band.
The Rebel 001. Morgan Routed.
CINCINNATI, July 22.—Reports via
Maysville state that our cavalry
had overtaken Morgan's band on the
road to Owensville from Mount Ster
ling. After a severe fight of an hour
:►nd a half, Morgan's forces were com
pletely scattered. The cannon and
horses captured by Morgan nt Cyn
thiana were retaken, together with
a large portion of stolen property.—
The rebels lost 25 killed, and the
Federals 20 killed.
Guerrillas in Missouri
Sr. Louts, July 23.—A merchant
of Frederickstown, who arri‘'ed here,
reports that a desperate fight With
guerrillas took place at. Greenvill9,
Wayne ccunty. Two companies of
State militia, stationed at that place,
under Captain Deeper, were surpris
ed by a band of guerrillas, under a
leader named Reeves. The attack
was made at daylight, and was 'sud
den and fierce. No pickets being
out to apprise our men of the enemy's
approach; the surprise was perfect.
Captain Deeper, with eighteen of his
men, are reported killed. and a large
number wounded. The rebels took
possession of the town Their loss
is not known.
The Depletion of the Army,
It is stated here on unquestionable
authority, says a Washington letter,
that 30,000 soldiers once belonging,
to the army of the Potomac, are now j
loitering over the free States as yell'
as they ever were. The President
found, on his late visit to General
McClellan, that 70,000 of the troops
taken to the Peninsula are now miss
ing or absent. It is impossible to
believe that more than 40,000 are
dead, wounded or sick. General Mc-1
Clellan expressed the opinion to the!
President that more tnan half of the
70,000 absent soldiers are now well.
How they got away it is almost im-:
possible to tell. A fact, however, has
just come to my knowledge which,
will seem to elucidate the matter. Al
single member of Congress bas sus-'
seeded in getting furloughs and dis
charges for three hundred soldiers du
ring the present session of Congress
This is a fact, and it will show how
the army has been depleted, or at
least one way in which its numbers
have been reduced. The friends of
soldiers—of regiments—have endeav
ored.to get off every soldier who was
sick of the service. Members of
Congress desired to be popular in
their districts, and answered every
call upon them. Colonels of regi
ments and Generals of brigades had
the same desire—of popularity with
their men, and one and all have aid;
ed in this depleting process till the
urn total of absentees is enormous.
OFFICIAL LISTS Of the Union losses
in forty-nine regiments engaged in
the recent battles before Richmond ;

and thirty-one, in killed, wounded
and missing. Of the forty-nine regi

The Committee retired, and the
meeting was addressed in brief,
but stirring patriotic speeches by
R. W. DowNEY amid W. A. PORTER,
Esq'rs. At this juncture the Com
mittee arose, and unanimously re
ported the tollowing resolutions :
WHEREAS, The recent engage
ments in front of Richmond—the
vital point of the war—prove that
time means now employed by the
general Government arc inadequate
to quell the rebellion : and
"W lIEREAS. Pentisylv, nia, which
has heretotore so promptly and gal
lantly answered all calls made on
her 10,-alty and patriotism, is asked
to se ed additional Regiments to the
TlP.tr:.fore be it
irlyselec,f, That the object of this
meeting is hereby declared to :_te,
to aid, to the utmost of the means
of tins county, in furnishing, in men
and money, its equitable quota for
the energetic prosecution of the war.
Re. , 611A, That, to accomplish this
object, a e,onmittee of three, with
power to appoint, sub-committees, be
appointed to solicit subscriptions for
war purposes, and to recruit, in re
sponse to Governor Curtin's call, one
or more companies volunteers, to
be placed as soon as may be at the
service or the Government.
R e sohyd, That, in common with
the repeatedly expressed desire of
the people alt 1.1.0 I,yli; ttLt.4 -, :,: of tit'
Union, we urge upon the National
Government do , most determined
and vigorous action; and that, as
the struggle is now for peaceful
government or anarchy, we pledge
ourselves, our means. and our inflo
' enee. to the suppression of a rebel
lion the most unnecessary in its in
ception. the most vindictive in its
prosecution, the most unhallowed in
its aims, and, if successful, the most
disastrous in its consequences.
Resolved, That we send hopeful
words of cheer and encouragement
to our brave soldiers in the field. We
mourn our gallant ones who have
fallen in battle; our prayers go up
Ifor the welfare of the wounded and
the sick ; we weep over the suffer
! ings and privations of the captured.
We assure theta that their families
shall be cared for during their ab
sence. If the authorities legally
constituted for this purpose shall
neglect a duty so sacred, out of the
gratitude and generosity of the peo
ple for whom they are battling, boun
tiful provision shall be voluntarily
made for all those dependent upon
them.
Resolved, That, whereas, it appears
to he the general determination of
the several counties of this Com
monwealth to contribute from their
treasuries, a generous bounty to
those of their sons who enlist as
volunteers; and whereas, the burden
of such bounties, unless paid from
the common county treasuries, would
fall unequally upon the citizens---all of
whose lives, and property, and hon
or, are equally to be protected,—be
it recommended to the Commission
ers of this county to take into con
sideration, at its next monthly ses
sion, the expediency of allowing from
the county treasury a bounty not
less than $3O each to volunteers who
may enlist from the county. We be
lieve such action would be sustained
by their constituency.
Resolved, That it is expedient that
public meetings be called at once
throughout the different townships
of the county, to arouse the people
to the full appreciation of the neces
sity of immediate action ; to organ
ize new companies and recruit the
ranks of those which have been dec
imated by battle and disease, and to
raise a fund sufficient to pay a liber
al bounty to our soldiers and to sup
port their families in their absence.
Moved, by R. W. Downey, Esq.,
that • the sth Resolution be so
amended as to read fifty dollars, in
stead of "not less than thirty dol
lars." After an explanation from
the committee, that they were favor
able to fifty rather than thirty, but
had adopted the latter the more
readily to secure the appropriation,
the amendment was agreed to and
the Resolution, as amended, unani
mously adopted.
The meeting was further address
ed by the Hon. Jesse Lazear, Hon.
James Lindsey and J. A. J. Buchan
an, Esq., in warm, eloquent and pa
triotic appeals to the people to come
up promptly, earnestly and unitedly,
to the help of the government in
quelling this monstrous rebellion
and lestoring peace and harmony
to our once happy, but now imperilled
country. _ _
Moved, by J. C.*Fienniken, Esq ,
that the President appoint a com
mittee of three on recruiting and to
solicit contributions to the bounty
• •
J. U. Flenniken, Wm._ T. E. Webb
and Geo. E. Minor, Esquires, were
appointed..
On motion it was resolved to have
- the proceedlnge - fitfblielled in t
cal papers:
The , meeting adjourned, and the
martial band strrck up the soul
stirring Nations lir, Yankee boo
dle. The meeting was a grand suc
cess. The most cordial feeling and
the most determined spirit were
manifested by all; and perfect har
mony prevailed throughout.
1 Somebody in the army writes to a
friend who counseled him in all kindness
to bear himself bravely in the presence of
the foe : "Don't bother me with advice,
We think but little of the counsel of men
who stay at home. Come out and show
us how to be brave." This is spirited and
to the point.
