sent indications of a battle here. We have New York dates to the 1st inst., and you probably have as late dates in Richmond.--There are no tidings from Europe about the Mason and Sildell affair. The abolition press are much exercised at Gen. McClellan's tardy execution of the war, and are ouging a forward movement. Sherman, of Ohio, in the Senate, in adverting to the inquiry into the Bull Run and Bull's Bluff affairs, thought that there were causes why the whole conduct of the war shore were causes why the whole conduct of the war should be investigated. The special correspondent of the New York Tribune states that Thaddens Stevens had announced in the Republican caucus that Gen. McClellan had threatened to resign unless the obnoxious part of Cameron's report about slaves should be expunged. Messrs. Mason, Slidell, Eustis, and McFarland had published a report in the New York Herald protesting against their seizure. Butler's expedition sails on the 18th inst.

As to the desire of the soldiers to get into a fight here, I can safely say it is universal, and almost amounts to enthusiasm. Never, since the troops of this branch of the army entered the field, have they burnt with more military zeal than they have during the few weeks past, while they were anticipating a battle of a magnitude greater and grander by far than any yet fought upon this continent. If McClellan designs to advance, there is nothing to prevent him from doing so, unless it is a distrust in the ability of his forces to prevent him from being superceded. The weather has been remarkably mild, and the roads are in excellent order. Heaven seems to favor the advance, and earth opens the way, yet the cannon sounds in the distance, and there is no indication of any grand move within reach of our guns. To-day, while General Longstreet was drilling his Division, Professor Lowe's balloon wa

building that had been used for storing provisions and ordnance. There has been no apprehension of an attack here for a week, notwithstanding the thousand and one rumors that come up in some of the Richmond papers.--On Saturday an inspection of a division of the army took place, which seemed to furnish material for supposing an advance about to be made. I must repeat a previous assertion, that the only, basis for the belief that there will be a fight on this line, is the supposition that McClellan will be forced to advance by public opinion at the North. Yesterday Capt. Rosser, with the 2d company of Washington Artillery, was relieved on the outpost by the 4th company, under Lieutenants Norcum and Battles. The 2nd company reported to Major J. B. Walton, at the headquarters of the battalion, and are now on duty at Camp Hollins. The 1st company, Capt. Squires, and the 3d, Capt. Miller, are also here. I am very much pleased to learn that Major A. M. Barbour has been recentl
