Why the troops were hurried up.
--A Washington letter says:
Republican Congressmen say that the reason of the late hurrying up of troops to this point from the North was because Gen. Scott found that troops were concentrating in Virginia much faster than he had anticipated.
The troops here are going rapidly into camp upon the high grounds in the flank and rear of the city, but there are no indications that fieldworks are to be thrown up thereon, as has been suggested in the New York administration papers.
The command of the Potomac precludes the necessity of such steps at present.

"He is a complete wreck.
Infirm, gouty and overwhelmed with the lashings of a guilty conscience, he has become a sort of terror to all around him. His Aids tremble in his presence, and his petulancy prevents him from giving any one a civil answer.

To the Editors of the Richmond Dispatch:
Dear Sirs: It has been suggested, as I learn from your paper, that the ladies of Richmond hold a meeting to make arrangements for demanding from General Scott the sword which was presented to him by Virginia.
As a friend and admirer of the ladies of Richmond, Implore them not to follow out or favor such an idea.
It would inflict a deep and lasting mortification on thousands of brave hearts in Virginia to see her fair daughters honor the old traitor with such a notice.
Let him keep the sword, and ture its sharp edge against the mother who gave it. The true sons of Virginia had rather meet him with that sword in his hand than any other he could possibly bear.
But they will never meet him. He must despise himself, and will never fight again.
Even the base villains, who use the old traitor in planning and plotting against his native Commonwealth, must despise him in their hearts.
