the services of Major Cabell have been invaluable. In less than four weeks, by dint of herculean effort, he has put this indispensable arm of the service at that point in a condition of order and preparation, and should the enemy essay an advance, they may count on perfect arrangements to receive them, so far as the details of the all-important Quartermaster's service are concerned. The army is impatient to meet the enemy, and we trust the telegraph has not misrepresented General Scott's intentions. The same source suggests that a movement about the same time towards Yorktown is in the course of execution. The Confederate forces at that post are anxious for an attack, which we may believe they will resist with telling effect. It is to be hoped General Butler's courage may not cope out, and that he will accept the chivalrous challenge of our gallant Magruder to meet him on the field. We have no sort of doubt that in that case the battle of Bethel will be completely eclipsed.

Mr. Herbert was not permitted to proceed to Norfolk, but returned to Old Point in the Fanny. Of the courtesy and kindness of the U. S. officers, and of the President and Captains of the Bay Company, the ladies speak very highly. Mr. Falls, Preside

Butler's movements, and deep suspicion as to his loyalty, which for some time have been smouldering, are now beginning to burn. Especially do the New York troops manifest these feelings. The press has bhel affair as well as on this topic. If the truth be known, as it has recently appeared here, Gen. Butler, and not Gen. Pierce, is to be censured for the magnificent blunder of the 10th of June. The protested against by him as impolitic. The carrying them forward was imperiously demanded by Gen.
