Wool was hailed by the troops as a favorable change, and he was received by a salute of thirteen guns. [correspondence of the Associated Press.] Fortress Monroe, August 16. --General Butler yesterday assumed the responsibility of paying the New York regiments here about $20,000, which had been deposited some time at Old Point awaiting the arrival of a paymaster. The ship Fair Wind, of Boston, with a cargo of guano, was this morning towed up the Roads by the steamer S. R Spaulding, in a disabled condition, having been ashore at Hog Island. The British ship-of-war Gladiator was yesterday cruising off the Capes. A flag of truce yesterday conveyed Mr. Whalen, former U. S. Minister to Nicaragua, to the Confederates' pickets beyond New Market bridge. A flag of truce is just in from Norfolk, with Corporal Hulburt, of the First Connecticut Regiment, released by the Confederates for his attention to Colonel Gardiner, after the battle of Bull Run.

Martin, an editor of Weston, Va., has been arrested and sent to Columbus, Ohio. Peace Conference in Missouri. The St. Louis Republican, of Friday, says: A military conference was held day before yesterday, at Sedalia, in Pettis county, composed of Colonel Brown, from Jefferson city, Captains Harris and Parker, of Cooper county, and a number of other officers, some connected with the State, and some with the Federal forces. The object of the conference was to determine upon some plan to tranquilize that portion of the State. Our informant says the terms finally agreed upon were of the following import: The state forces to disband and return home, and the Home Guards to disband as such, and if they choose to preserve a military organization, to enlist in the United States Army, de

Nobody hurt. Captain Julius De Laguel, of the disunion army, (late of the 3d artillery, U. S. A.) reported to be missing since the battle of Rich Mountain, or killed in that engagement, is a prisoner to General Rosencranz's forces in Western Virginia, and is recovering of his wounds. General James Shields, now of California, late a distinguished General of the Mexican war, and ex Senator from Illinois, has been again called to the field. The President has appointed him a Brigadier General of volunteers. The Washington correspondent of the Northern Associated Press sends the following: The Confederates have nearly all fallen back to Fairfax Court-House, thus widening the distance separating the hostile forces. The pickets of both armies, however, occupy nearly the same ad

llow-passengers became offended, and, on ching New York, reported his case to the Government officials, who had him arrested, The Times says: His person was carefully searched, and resulted in finding £40,000 in Bank of England states, together with a large number of letters and important papers, the contents of which, (whatever may be their legal value as evidence,) leave no doubt that the accused party is a partizan of Jeff. Davis, and an agent of the Southern Confederacy. Surveyor Andrews communicated the facts to Secretary Chase, at that time stopping in, the city, who approved of the proceedings and advised the arrest of Serrell. The money, $200,000 in amount, with the letters and papers, were detained at the surveyor's office, and an informal investigation was made into the case. Among other matters embraced in the letters in his possession, were the suggestion of plans for breaking up the blockade and supplying the Liverpool market with cotton. From the tone of

ank you for the flattering terms of your appeal, and need hardly give utterance to the universal appreciation of the warm-hearted sons of your native land, of whom I have no doubt you are an honorable type. Allow me to add that our President has given the official assurance, and our gallant General is too well known to the authorities of the United States for them to doubt, that no effort to lessen the horrors of war and to confine it to the strictest civilized usage will be spared.

Dear General: --Your communication of yesterday was duly received under a flag of truce. As the subject matter of your letter belonged properly to higher authority, and had in fact already been the occasion of communications which have been referred to Gen. J. E. Johnston, Confederate States Army, my commander, I had no power to act, but felt bound to refer it to the General commanding the Confederate States forces, of which my command is part. His endorsement is as follows:

All of which I have the honor most respectfully to report. James W. Johnston, Capt. Co. K, 37th Regiment, N. Y. S. V. The body of Colonel Cameron.

Meantime, one of their prisoners escaped, and reaching the Confederate scouts, put them in possession of these facts. The result was a trap and a capture. What might be regarded as an extraordinary Cabinet Council, was held on Friday. Mr. Chase having returned, there was a full Cabinet, with the exception of Mr. Smith, who is making war speeches in the North. It is the talk of the streets that the danger and defence of the Capital were discussed earnestly and at length. Decided apprehensions are said to have been expressed, (I give legitimately the current rumor of "the avenue,") as to a Confederate plan supposed to have been ferreted out by the restless scrutiny of Gen. McClellan. According to this plan the Confederates, under Beauregard and Johnston, are to cross twenty or thirty miles up the r

Her officers were entirely unaware of the existence of the battery, which makes the fourth already discovered at that place. The officers of the Potomac flotilla have no doubt that the Confederates are erecting a battery at Mathias' Point. The decoy boat which led to the sad affair of last Thursday, was evidently placed for the purpose of destroying Lieutenant Budd, of the Resolute, whom the Confederates are after because he burned a house near that place some time since. Various reports from Washington. The Washington Star, of Monday evening, says: The Baltimore has not yet returned from Old Point, and it is believed she has been detained at Fortress Monroe. Her capture is hardly probable, as with her 32-pounder she could sink with ease any vessel or boat which the Confederates could command in the Potomac. Besides this, her crew
