The arrest of Mr. Pierce Butler, in Philadelphia, seems to have been made on the assumption that the Federal Government had seized a parcel of letters on their way across the Potomac, written by him to President Davis, Generals Beauregard and Johnston, and other prominent men in Virginia.

Movements of the rebels indicate an attack on Washington. There, are our national buildings, our archives, our government, our labor for seventy-five years. These must be protected.

Many persons also who had obtained passports, came here en route for Alexandria, and consequently had to get passes from the commander of the Potomac army before they could penetrate his lines.
