Combined attack on the Arkansas — from Pope's army-- progress of robbery and out- rage by his troops — from McClellan's army, &c We have received Northern papers to the 31st.--An attack was made on the ram Arkansas, on the 22d ult., by Commodores Davis and Farragut. A dispatch, dated the 23d, says: The fleet from below was to engage the lower batteries, and the fleet from above to engage the upper ones, the gunboat Essex and the ram Queen of the West in the meantime to attack the Arkansas and tow her out. In consequence of some misunderstanding, only a few shells were fired from the mortars below, which are known to have had no effect to divert the fire from the Essex. This vessel attempted to run into the Arkansas and jam her against the levee, but the latter swung round and the Essex only grazed her side. As she passed she gave the rebel craft her three 11-inch bow guns. Finding herself unsupported, she dropped down the riv

why do you now," and so the night was passed. Sometimes Mr. S. would go to the door of the little house and he could hear the groans and cries for a mile around. At 7 o'clock one of the chaplains of a Virginia regiment came in to see Mr. S., having heard a Yankee chaplain was there with the wounded; this chaplain proved to be an acquaintance of the Rev. Thos. H. Stockton, present chaplain of the House of Representatives, and a relative of our informant. Mr. S. inquired of him if he knew Dr. Evans, who married his sister. He told Mr. S that he was the Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment to which he was attached, and offered to introduce him and have him passed through the lines. He scarcely got the words out of his mouth when he said, "I see I am a prisoner." Mr. Stockton asked him what he meant? He said, "your men have come up and taken the ground without firing a shot, and you will excuse me, for I must run and tell our men, or they will be taken by surprise."--Our advancin

They claim to be New Yorkers, and had been pressed into the Tenth Virginia cavalry. They were armed with the cavalry carbine, but had no other arms. One of the horses rode by them was branded with "U. S.," and had a United States Government blanket under his saddle. Both the men were fine looking fellows, although not dressed very fine or soldiery. They were taken to Gen. Averill, as it was a portion of his command they gave themselves up to. The two rebel deserters are named Frank Osgood and Michael Conner, and were taken from Richmond and forced to serve. Osgood was born in Massachusetts, although he claim to be a New Yorker, from his long residence there. When he left New York he resided on Bleaker street, near Broadway.

We went into a small store at "Orleans " one day, where they were selling "fip calice" at 35 cents per yard, and the whole contents of the store you could carry in a bushel basket, and found the proprietor was taking all the paper offered. On looking over his "pile," we found four different kinds of Richmond ones, and two of fives. Many were the most worthless imitations. He was very indignant at "Banks men," whom he alleges passed it upon him. Among the contrabands who have found their way into our camps is one "Ned," now with General Ricketts division, who used to wait upon the General while he was in the tobacco warehouse at Richmond. He seemed highly elated to find the General escaped, and in a position where he can go soon again to Richmond.

Mr. Stockton asked for assistance to get there, being very weak and feeble, and was told by the General that he would direct a guard to stir him up with a bayonet. Mr. Stockton walked from there to Richmond, and was taken from there to Salisbury in the cars. Affairs on and near the river. A letter from Fortress Monroe, July 27th, says the Federal at Suffolk have made a reconnaissance thirty miles towards Petersburg, without meeting an enemy. It add: Friday night the rebels made an incursion into our lines, and carried off a large number of the army beeves. Saturday morning many of them were recaptured and driven into camp. It was a most audacious movement on the part of the rebels, and something of a negligence on our side that appears unpardonable. The rebels are invariably awake. When will our Generals

aft her three 11-inch bow guns. Finding herself unsupported, she dropped down the river. The Queen coming to her aid, ran into the Arkansas, making her tremble from stem to stern. Recovering herself, the Queen ran on again so forcibly as to strain her own works badly. Both boats then returned up the river. During the engagement the Essex received several shots, and had one man killed and two wounded. The Queen was also shot through several times. A dispatch from Memphis, July 28th, says: The Grenada Appsal, of the 24th, has a special dispatch of the same date, stating that Commander Davis and the gunboats had attacked the batteries and the ram Arkansas, and had been repulsed, with the loss of five boats sunk or disabled.

d you ever see a General like ours?" said a boy from Brooklyn, with seven wounds in his body. "He goes about and speaks to us privates, asks how we get along, whether we are well attended to, what we want, and all about us. Now, I don't believe any other General ever did that!" and he looked at me with an air of triumph, as if there was no gainsaying it. The rebels are sanguine that their new Merrimac will do us an immense amount of damage, and reinstate the prestige lost when old Tatnall blew up the Elizabeth river bugbear. They claim that the new iron clad is of greater power, will be more easily handled, and of much more availability than the old vessel, whose wreck lies above Craney Island. They also boast of two other iron crafts as being nearly ready to pounce upon Com. Wilkes, and capture or sink him and his whole James river fleet. As this is the week in which the Norfolk rebels swear they will make their descent upon the Federal gunboats, we shall wait and watch,
