Pye: OUR FOREIGN NAVAL VISITORS. ‘The Spanish, English and French Men- of-War in Our Harbor—A Visit to the Foreign n-of-War—Description ofthe Vessels, &e., dic. Our naval reporter yesterday visited all of the foreign mou-of-war lying off the Battery, for the purpose of laying before the readers of the Hxaacp a full and accurate des- ‘Cription of them, and also to obtain a correct list of the officers attached to them. With Uncie John Palmerton for our boatman—a man ‘who has been on the waters of our bay till he is as gray as a badger, and who, many years ago, was oue of the oaramen in a race boat which beat the crack gig of an English frigate, whose commander said his boat could not be beateu—we started off to the vessels. The sun was very ‘warm ;but the speed of the boat brought us a little breeze ‘which was truly refréghing. ‘Tho tide was dooding, and ‘wo stood out tor the French gunboat Renaudin, command- ed by Captain Le Cardinal. c THE RENAUDIN. _ On arriving alongside we inquired for the “ officer of _ tho deck,’’ when a fine looking young officer advanced, < {) 9adwe made known our business to him. He listened bet _» Sttentively , and, desiring to be excused for a moment, he descended into the wardroom and informed the executive Officer of our business. This gentleman came on deck, Gnd in the politest manner possible informed us that he ‘would be very happy to give us the desired information, ‘Dut the rules of the Admiral forbade it, and we must ap ply to him for any information in relation to the vessel. Of course that ended our conversation on that subject, and, pidding good morning, we again entered our little oat and started for the Spanish fiagship. E ‘Tho Renaudin te a bark rigged steam gunboat of about _ @ight hundred tons, cartying an armament of two broad- | aide and one pivot guns, Her crew, including officers, Mumbers about seventy-five men. She is in good erder, Gnd compares favurably with other gunboats of that na- {toa which have visited this pott. THE PRINCKSA DE ASTURIAS. A pull of afew bundred yards brought us to the port fide of the Spanish frigate Princesa de Asturias, flying the flag of the Spanish “Admiral in these waters, On eaching tho deck, being at the gangway saluted by the @arive, wo presented to the officer of the deck, who ia turn uotified the captain of the (rigate, whose Courteous manners and attentions at once bespoke a desire to give us all the information we were in search of. First, wo were shown the men at ‘“‘quarters’’ exer- ciwing in great gun drill, which was a very creditable performance. Secondly, the satis were furled;und the @volutiovs of the seamen compare favorably with those of other @ations, Next, under the guidance of Captain _ moreno, we visited the eutiro vessel, inspected tho _, Dateory, machinery, &c. ‘We e@pent considerably over au tour on board, and @athored from ber courteous officers the following inior- mation respecting the vessel and ber appointments:— So is 237 foot 4 toches length on ber keel, and 247 fect over ali, 68 feet beam and 28 fest depth of hold.

Ove of the most charming epwodes to camp \ife near Waabingion that bas occurred was tho fete champare, Given at Camp Wyodbam yesterday by Uoloae! Sir Percy Wyndham and tis staff. The camp in beautifully located ‘upon the farm of Busbrod Hunter, near the bank of the Potomac river, on the Virginia sido, netween Washington and Alexandria. It originated in a suggestion of Colonel Wynham, made while here under treatment for his wounds, during the dark days of June, when the capital was supposed to be in great danger. It is intended as « cavalry depot for the collection, snstruction, discipline, and refitting of straggiers, convalescents, deserters aad dismounted cavairymon, for the armies of the Kast. In & vory brief period, with astonishing coorgy, Col. Wyad- ham has proved, aot valy the efficiency, but great economy of such an institution. he bas gathered together, mounted, fitted out and seat into the fleld to their various regiments over Ovo thou- sand good cavalry soldiers, with less trouble and expense to the military authorities than were previously required to got up Give bundred. The success ef the enterprise has induced the orgapization of a separate cavairy bureau aad the establishment of depots similar to Camp Wyadbam. The perfect familiarity with all the details and requirements to render the cavalry service efficient and the eminent aptness for this particular duty ox. hibited by Colonel Wyndham point to him as the ove to whom should be permanently assigned (he managomont of this new bureau. Regard for the service should at least toduce the authorities ¢o retain him in command of the model cavairy depot and camp of instruction which be has perfected. ‘Tho fele champetre om Saturday eveoing was a traly brilliant amir, A besatiful sward io front of beadquar. tora, surrounded by ample shade trees, borderiog wide and peatly gravelled avenues, was prepared for tbe fos tivitios which followed the evening dress parade Thos0 Wassunatos, August 3, 1863. ‘THE DRAFT IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The draft in this district commenced this morning and proceeded quietly all day. ‘I'he drawing for the sub dis tricts, comprising the First and Second wards, was com- Pleted to-day. The drawing will be continued to-morrow, and will be completed for the whOle distri ¢ in three or four days. The names were drawa from tho box by ‘Thomas C. Buras, a well knows man of the district. Two companies of the One Hundred and Fifty-third New York regiment wero present to proserve order in case of necessity, Tue moat complete quiet prevailed. From curiosity to witness the novel process of drafting for military service, several thousands of persons visited the Council Caamber of the City tall, where the drawing was made. The usual number of jokes were perpetrated at the expense of well known parties whose aames were apnounced as among the elected. Among those chosen were Capt. W. K. Hutton, one of the engineers in charge of the Washington Water Works; Robert Lamon, Deputy Marshal, and K. V. House, correspondent of the New York Tribune. George Washington and Napoleon Bonaparte also figure amongst the conscripted, and it is to be heped will not deprive the country ot the benefit of their military genius by procaring substitutes or paying the three hundred dollars. There were oight hundred aad seventy-four white and three hin. od and six colored men drawn in the First ward, and tour bundred aaa ninety-four white and two bundred aad forty seven calored drawn in the Second ward. It is understood that the Copperheads are very indignant that their chances of being conscripted for the military service of the country has been so greatly reduced by the numbers of colored men who are being drawn in this city. The drawing is ander the superintendence of Cap tain Sheets, Provost Marsha! of the district, who charged his assistants to be careful to stir up the box every twea ty minutes, so as to give everybody a (air share. RESIGNATION OF MAJOR GENERAL M'CLERNAND. General McClernand, baving been relieved from the command of the Thirteenth army corps and ordered tore main inactive in the State of Illinois, has tendered hia im: mediate and unconditional resignation of the office of major general of the United States volunteer forces. Tho General ia unwilling to hold a commission and receive pay from the government withont oppprtunity to serve the country in a position appropriate to his rank. In 1861, when tho President jsaned the first call for volun- teers, General McClernand was @ member of Congress, Just elected to a full term. He vacated his seat in Con- grews and acceptet a brigadier geveralship, bimeec'f rais- ing that voble Minois brigade which did such distia- guished service at Belmont, Dovelson and Shilob. For gallant and meritorious conduct at Doveison MrCeroand ‘was appointed a major general, and distinguished bimself at Post Arkansas, Port Gibson, Champion's Hill, Big Black river and Vicksburg. !n short, General McClernand was successful im everything he undertook , an’ proved himself to be a devoted patriot, a wise statesman, an energetic commander and a superior general. For two long years Genoral McClernand has been tinually in the field, and has led the adv: im ali the battles from Belmont to Vicksburg; yet General Grant assumed the authority to relieve bim from the command with which ho bad been entrusted by the President, and which be conducted with «o mach ability, energy and zeal. Nothing in the world cau be assigned as the cause of luis removal but jealousy and fear of his increasing popu larity all over the United States : and these, togetbor with the unjust dislike and natrea felt by the “West Point generals’ towards Geo. McCleruand, must have ied Geo Grant to this arbitrary, unpolitic and unpatriotic act. Gen MeClervand, removed from command, thinks it contrary to the expectations and motives which prompted him to eater the military service to continue to hold a commission and receive pay from the government, and therefore requcaix ibat his resignation may be ac cepted. “4 Thus we lose the ser rices of one of our mont able geae. rals, who was always willing to serve his country honestly aod truly, 4 mao who never failed to do his full duty, and a general who was the mainspring in the great Miasieaipp! Fiver campaign, Which terminated with the reopening of ‘Veal majestic river to the commerce of the great North west. SPLENDID ARTILLERY REVIRW AT CAMY BARRr. ‘The artiliery reserves now at Camp Barry, sear this city, wore reviewed thie afternoon by Major General Hewtseiman commanding the Department of Washing Lal Geserai Heintzloman, attended by a brilliant reunue of tall offeers, rode upen the review ground at precisely 9E o'clock and was received with an appropriate’salute. ‘The review commenced immediately afterwards. 11 was eet protracted a long as usual, on sevount of the iv \eueity Of the beat.
