The Daily Dispatch: July 31, 1861., [Electronic resource], The President and Gen. Scott. (search)
that if this thing is to be permitted to continue, you destroy this Government forever. I stand here in my place, and make the declaration, that if General Scott cannot conduct this war, we have nobody that can. If he cannot by strategy, skill and courage, save this Government, it is impossible to save it. On this matter I have said all I desire to say. Mr. Blair, (Rep.) of Mo — I desire to say a few words Generals Patterson and Cadwallader were appointed by the Administration, but General Butler came hither as a Brigadier General. It was Massachusetts who first conferred that honor on him, and he was made a Major General for putting down a mob, and for the Executive ability which he displayed. I understand that Gen. Patterson was appointed by the advice and on the recommendation of Gen. Scott. The gentleman said that Gen. Scott had been driven to risk a battle by gentlemen on this side, but nothing had been said here derogatory to that soldier. Is the Major General fit t

with an entire loss of baggage, provisions, and nearly the entire artillery. One of the officers said to-day, that it would take at least one month to put the remainder of the army in anything like fighting trim. They are like a covey of partridges that have been shot into. Every exertion is being made to do away with the effect produced upon the troops by the rout. Bands of music are being marched through the streets — the soldiers told that Manassas has been taken — that Patterson and Butler have united their forces — and all such stuff; but it is all of little avail. The effect of the rout was plainly visible last night, when some one gave a false alarm that Beauregard was advancing upon the city, in the utter consternation and confusion displayed, and the general scampering for hiding-places that immediately took place.

From Fortress Monroe. Advices from Fortress Monroe to July 24, published in the Baltimore papers, furnish some intelligence of interest: Gen. Butler has abandoned the project of in immediate march towards Yorktown, and will concentrate his forces near Newport News Point, where an attack by the Confederates is expected. The battery at Sewell's Point is now visible, and another between that and Willoughty's Point, from which an attack is expected on the fortress. The Floyd gun isenforcement of the blockade, and that one it was said bad thrice run the blockade with stores for the Confederates near Great Bethel. There was a female on board one of the vessels, besides whom there was not a person around. On Thursday Gen. Butler sent three regiments of infantry, with two pieces of artillery to Fox Hill, about four miles from Hampton, but they had not been heard from when the G. left. There was no other military movement.--One of the regiments at Newport News Poin
