On Sunday the curelry of Miles succeeded im cutting their way from Marper’s Ferry to McGéedian’s e-my, and reported M.'s declara- tion that he conld and world maintain Bis position at least nntil last night. Now, if McClellan wae at Bolivar at ten a. m. yester- day, he waa within a few miles of Harper's Weery, and must surely have contrived to send Bows at hie signe victory to Miles. The hopy tha the did not snrrender yesterday morning is strengthened by a dispaich received last night representing that cannonading again com- meneed at Harper's Ferry at six p.m. yos- ' terday. As upon oer comtianed possession of Har- per's Ferry depends whether McClelian’s vie- tories will result in the annihilation ot the rebel army, or the eventual escape of a large portion of it back into Vircinis, very great auxiety emists here to-day on the subject.

The following extract from a Ietter roceivod atthe War Department, and dated at Mesilla, Arizona, Angust 15th, 152, shows with how little baggage an army may be moved. It must be remerhbered that these Galifornia troops have marched through adesert country, whero no provisions or forage could be obtained, but everything for horse and man was carried with them, and yet with train lees than that of a re- gimeant not marching fifty mes from Washing- ton they have averaged seventeen miles a day for nearly sixty days: “The ist infantry and cavairy Oslifornia volunteers have successfully marched 1,008 Miles over the route by the Coi io desert, the Gila river, Pucson aud the Mimbres river, frcm Use Pacific to the Kio Grande. This they have done with but the tritting loss of ton mon; with abundant supplies, aservicable train, anc reached the western bordor of Texas in condi- tion for an immediate contest with the enemy. Officers and men hawe shared the hardships of the march alike, without tents and without baggage, one wagon sufficing to transport ten days rations and the property of each company. For fully one half the distance over the burn- ing deserts in mid-summer, with a very scanty supply of water, the men have uncomplaingly carried their knapeacks and averaged through- out over seventeen miles daily. They have been only too well satisiied to kuow that every step carried them nearer to the heart of the re- ion.”* CON VALESOENTS AND STRAGGLERS.
