er Potomac, while not less than 10,000 returned home, their term of service having expired. The Northern papers inform us that a flag of truce has reached the Federal headquarters from General Johnston. It is surmised that is related chiefly to an exchange of prisoners. Among the "probable" rumors of the day is one that Gen. McCall, of Pennsylvania, will supersede Gen. Banks in command of the "Army of he Shenandoah." The schooner Tropic Wind has arrived at New York, from Fortress Monroe, in charge of a prize crew. The Tropic Wind was seized on the 29th of June by the order of Major General Builer, for violation of the blockade and communicating with the enemy after having been warned by the Pawnee. It is stated in the Baltimore papers that the "whole army" at Newport News is in a state of insubordination, and it is apprehended that there will be a general revolt against the authority of the officers. A private made an attack on an officer, and the latter fired u

The steam gun. --It will be remembered by our readers that some few months since Winan's steam gun, while on its route South, was captured somewhere near Ellicott's Mills, Maryland, by a squad of soldiers from the Relay House, and the two gentlemen who accompanied the team were arrested, and, with the monster gun, were sent to Fortress Monroe.--The inventor, Mr. Dickinson, rode behind in a buggy, having in his possession the machinery by which alone the gun could be worked, and made his escape. This gentleman has been in Richmond for some time, exhibiting to the officers of the War Department his models, machinery, modus operandi, &c, of his steam life-destroyer, and as soon as Congress assembled brought the subject before that body. On Monday, we are informed by Mr. Dickinson, the committee, of which Mr.Conrad is chairman, reported favorably, and Congress ordered the construction of one gun. The cost will be about $5,000.

General Wool. It now seems certain that General Butler is to be succeeded at Fortress Monroe-by General John E. Wool. The military career of Butler has been simply absurd. He will leave Virginia, as he left Baltimore, and object of ridicule and contempt. Man will grow mirthful over the sound of his name. He has threatened to take Richmond, but he has taken nothing except his pay and rations since he entered the State. The battle of Bethel, in which he took no part, will long be remembered as an illustration of his generalship; and the pompous proclamation, in which he asserted that because General Pierce did not instantly run away, he "lost his presence of mind," an illustration of his spirit and chivalry. Major General Wool, by whom General Butler is succeeded, is a veteran officer of the regular army, and undoubtedly a man of courage and experience. But he must be now nearly seventy-five years of age, and it seemed to be the opinion of the late General Scott, that he
