It is said that Butler commands; and he has vanity and ambition enough to delude him into the idea that he may, after all, be the lucky man to take Richmond, and thus become the most renowned individual in all the Yankee nation!

Deserters. --Several deserters were brought in yesterday; some from Butler, others from Grant. One from Grant's army gave his name as Thos Smith, and said he was a North Carolinian and had a brother in our army, but that he had been living in New Jersey for several years. He was sent to the Castle.
