LATEST AND MOST INTERESTING FROM RICHMOND. We have a Richmond Examiner of the 7th Instant. It teems with news of especial interest here at this time. That paper thus discourses upon the obvious and certain advantages of NecClelisn’s present Position = © We beiicve all that was known in this city yesterday, outside of the severe circles of bureau cracy, Was that the enemy hed taken a strong position, with one of bis flanks resting on the rt e.out Berkely, completely under cover of mboats, and Lis extreme right reaching to Herriitg creek, where his position ie defended by an almost impassable morass. It wes supposed that the enemy would have been attacked yester day; but there had been no fighting up to the last arcounts we have from ttelines. * * = ‘< It is not to be ro theenemy has selected these plantations [McClellan’s present position — Ep, Star jas the scene of his last great stand, ‘oat gonad rezzons. The first and most apps- of these fs, that the Westover lending !s per- haps the very best on James river; and the stream for miles up and down being broad and eer. affords both excellent sea-rcom and anchofage for bis gunboats and transports. But this is by no means the only advantage of the position. Un the west of Berkeley are jnnumerabie !mpassable tavines, running from near the Charles City road, on the north, to James river, making a successfo) sitack from that quarter next to impossible Within-a quarter of a thile of where thes- iM a begin, Herring Run ereek crosseé the ChiPPs City road, and ruuuing in a southoasterly direc- tipn, skirts on the north and east the plantations o: Berkeley and ‘Westover, and empties into James river at tht eftreme eastern boundary of the latteF.. ‘The whole course of this creek is one impassable morass; while along its northern and eastern banks extend the Heights of Evelinton— a long range of bilis that overlook the Westover and Berkeley estates, and which offer eligible positions for beavy guns. “It will be seen, that protected on thesouth by the fiver end bis guuboats, on the west by im- assable ravines, *nd op the north and east by erring creek and the Heights of Evelinton, the enemy’s position presents but cne pregrable = piece of level country notthwert of Westover, from @ quarter toa half mile in width, laying between the bead of the ravines and the int where Herring creek crosses th barles Sity road. But it is certain that the encmy, with his immense resources of men and machinery, will, ina very brief period, obsitrct by art this only nstural entrance to his stronghold Alterdy it is within range of bis —< and of bisseigé guns planted on the Evelintoa bills; another day may see it strewn with felled timber and brist- Mng with field batteries. In enumerating the ad- vantages fee: to the enemy by his present po- sition, his facilities of transportation must not be omitted. Whilst our ammunition 8nd stores must be wagoned a distance of neerly thirty miles, his steamers and trensports are ron- oe the doors of histent.”’ * * * “For the benefit of the distant reader we may here properly say something of the character of the country to which suddenly and unexpectedly, the seat of war hes been shifted. Ten deys ago, when McClellan beleaguered Richmond, ois the exception of about five miles of Chicka- hominy. low-ground, he occupied the most barren, and at the same time the worst watered and most unhealthy region of Eastern Virginia Agues. hoop-poles and whartleberries have been always tbe only sure erops of the country with 8 radius of ten im!les about the Sevea Pines, tak- ing that point aa centre; and but two living streams cross the Nine Mile or Wilidameburg roads between Richmond and Bottom’s Bridge. On these two roads, with the Seven Pines ot their beadiquarters, the very pick and flower of the Northern army Was concentrated; and here for week their vigor and numbers melted away under the influence of miasms, bad water, and = southern stn; but, by his basty trip through W bite swamp, McClellan bas emerged, with thinned ranks, intoa more genlal land. A broad fresh river flows before him, while bis tired and bungry hordes will find boundless sup- plies in as fair and rich a valley as the sun shines on. The country of the lower James river ie the Very garden spotof Virginia. No where does the sojl hetter repay the toll and skill of the bus- bandman.’’ [Do not the above extracts preve the wisdom of McClellan’s policy in changing the bese of his operations ?—Epiror Star | We are most bappy in being able to stste that the army of the Potomac Aace accomplished ell the (for the oligarchy) dire things which the rebels dread 2s possible resulta of the seven days battles, enumerated in the follewing ‘‘If's’’ from this Richmond Ezamuner of the 7th instant, in berating the seeesh War Department for the #up- pression of information concerning the true state of military operations: “There has already been enough of this trifling and abuse of the public mind by the suppression or reserve of facts on the part of the Govefnment. If the commanding general could write a dozen lines giving the result of the fight at Gaines’ mills, why, ou each succeeding day, migut we not have had a bulletin of equal length, simply atating résults. It would have cost but a trifie of time, and would have conferred sn jacalcuable benefit upon the wiiole country in composing public anxiety.
