Effect OF THE Nrws nv rmr MnoTn ? I
The news of McClellan's defeat has caused the
greatest excitement in the North. The Herald
says:
Tlio financial credit of tho country has received
a shock from the disasters to McClellan's
army from which it will not easily recover.
Previous to his being driven back from his position
before Richmond, Government stocks
were at an unexampled premium, and the credit
of the country never stood so high.
Within a week all this has been changed,
and uow government stocks exhibit more unsteadiness
than any other class of public sccuritine
The excitement now is but the mere muttering
of the storm. Wait until the long lists
of killed and wounded in the recent battles before
Richmoud are published, and the storm
will be then at its height. Already the people
of Philadelphia hoot Stanton's name in the
streets, and declare that no more men will en
list while ho remains in office. New York
City has suffered quite as much as Philadelphia 1
and shares theso sentiments. Two New York
regiments suffered at Bull Run, and the excitement
here was fearful. What will it be |
when the lists of killed and wounded come in .

that the masterly Confederate movements

In the Houso of Commons, Mr. Hopewood j
asked if Government intended to take steps as
a mediator.
Palmerston e\pressed deep sympathy with

Ho wished it was in the power of

interference in America now could only aggravate
matters. Both England and France would
be delighted to take mediatory steps. When
a fitting opportunity arose, ho should look upon

Xew York Money Market.
Richmond, July 15.?The New York Herald's
money article for July 10, says the excite
ment in the gold and exchange markets continues
unabated. Gold opened in the morning
at 117 1-2, but fell to llo. It then began to
rally, and at the second board sold for 100,
and closed at that bid. Bills on London 120
1-2. The advance in gold and bills has led to
remarkable activity in merchandize. The people
are shipping to Europe everything that can
be bought. Every one who owes anything to
Europe is sending produce to pay the debt.?
Others arc shipping on speculation, relying on
nrnmlnme nn fli/.ii* ?v/.liniu?A
vii viivm vAvunu^u lui
Tlic Herald says the advance in bills will
nearly annihilate the import trade. The premium
on gold is in fart just so much addition
to customs duty levied on foreign goods, and as
the duties were nearly prohibitory before this,
it will render them absolutely so. M^ncy continues
fairly active at 5 to 6 per cent. Many
capitalists arc distrustful of the future, and decline
to part with their funds. United States
sixes have declined 11 per cent.
The Anaconda "Defunct."
The Tribune acknowledges that the great!
Anaconda, which was to surround and crush '
out this ''infamous rebellion," is defunct. Ho
is right; hear him:
Advices from various quarters justify the
gratifying belief that that conception of ineffable
stupidity, the grand Union "Anaconda," is dc
funct. Henceforth, we are confident, the policy
of massing our disposable troops into one
grand armr and hurling it swiftly upon the j
chief strongholds of the rebellion, w ill be successfully
adheared to. The Anaconda has
:ost us a year's time, one hundred thousand
men and and $500,000,000, and its frxiits
ire not at all commensurate with the cost. Had
it never been conceived, we should have failed
?o take New Orleans and some other ports
]uitc so soon, while we should have ere this
utterly extinguisd the rebellion in Virginia,
North Carolina and Tennessee.
The "Anaconda" makes a present to the ro>cls
ot the all but exclusive use of railroads and
ebgraphs. It enables the enemy to choose
imong cur several army corps that one on
vhich he shall precipitate his entire movable
orce. It enables him to be uniformly superior
it the point of collision, though we have more
ind better troops in the field than he has. It

McClkllan's Army?Its Present Location.?So
far as can bo discovered by observation
on the South bank of James river, no important
movements have taken place in McClellan's
army during the past three or four
days. Many of the wagons have disappeared
from view, and the tents have been extended
np the hank of the river, almost to the very
, family mansion at Berkeley. By the scores
of the camp fires Tuesday evening, it was generally
supposed that the enemy had advanced
somewhat from the immediate banks of the

almost completely surrounded. It is positively
known that heavy reinforcements have reached
the Yankee McClellan, and it is believed that
his army now numbers nearly or quite $100,000
men.
An important movement has been made by
a portion of our forces, but the particulars will
be known in a few days.
The Foreign Element in our Army.?
The War Department has published a general
order forbidding the reception of unnaturalized
citizens in the army. We are glad to see that ;
a blow has been given the nefarious traffic in '
substitutes which has been principally carried i
on by dirt}' and vagabond foreigners, who, hav. j
ing ticketed themselves with certificates ob- !
tained from their Consuls, have made a disgusting
market of themselves in Richmond.

however, is given to the volunteer and not to
the hired Hessian. It is an important object
to purge our army of mercenary and foreign

HKNRY W. DbSAUSSURB, 1st Lieutenant Co.
C., 6th Reg., S. C. V., fell on the 31st day of June,
1862, battling for his country iu the tierco and sanguinary
conliiet of that date, on tho Chickahominy (
River, Va. No greater calamity could have afflicted (
hi9 family, his Iriends, or his company. Born and
reared in Camden, he spent his short, but honorable
career, beloved and admired. As a boj', he was the
impersonation of courtesy and moral deportment; at
school he hod no foes?as a man he was the idol of a *
circle of fond friends; tho respected and genial com- r
panion?a citizen of worth and regard. Uu graduating

year by year, and aduum to his ample means,
by judicious investments, until lav commencement of
our revolution.
On the election of the representati\e of an abolition 11
fanatical party, he counselled resistance, lie connect- t
ed himself with the association of minute-men, and
was prominent in every movement calculated to fos- ter
the flame of secession lie contributed bountifully
to equipping the two volunteer companies raised \
in January, 1861, under the call of the Legislature,
and when the third company was organized, he bent
every energy to its completion. His comrades rewarded
him with the position of 1st Lieutenant, (to f
which they re-elected him on their re-organization last
April). They never had cause to repent their choice.
By study and atteution, together with an adaptedness to
the military, he became an efficient, zealous officer

and during hours of danger. He entered into battle
vrith ardor; his orhele soul a?ire to the necessity ^ J
victory. At Williamsburg and Seven Fines be gave
his commanding officer every assistance, urging hie
men on aud still on, though the w -tinded and dying
were uiung fust around him. Exposed particularly at
the latter, he was spared to fall, alas! on Monday, the
31st of June, bravely leading his men to the very jaws
of death, as the effect on his company told.
On Sunday, Gen. Loogstreet, with bis corps cTarmee
recrossed the Chickahominy from the Mechauiceville
side?on Monday, marched down the Charles City
Road; then toward the Darbytown Road, to withn a
few miles of A lien's Karm, where the by-road he took

from point to point, against one battery and then another,
