uartermaster's office on Friday, as noticed in the Express. The Army and Navy officers are making no preparations for a prolonged stay of their steamers, wherever they are to go. The coal taken in for "the round trip," is enough to bring them back. No coal transports have been engaged, but, on the contrary, both the War and Navy Departments have declined transport ships to-day. The inference from this is, that the steamers are to make no long stays anywhere. Passing through Green wich street about 12 ½ o'clock this afternoon, our reporter met company A of the first Flying Artillery. They were evidently bound for Canal street, to go on board the Atlantic. There were about ten guns, which, with the ammunition wagons and troops, extended a long distance. The Atlantic will probably sail before this account goes to press. The Illinois will go to Canal street this afternoon, taking the dock of the Atlantic, to get her supplies. She has nothing now on board except t

It is also reliably reported that Major Johnson, who is on duty at this post, has resigned his commission rather than continue the warlike preparations now in progress. Major Holmes is a native of North Carolina, and has been in the service thirty-one years. He has distinguished himsesuch a crisis as the present, when, as executive head of this important station, his services are very necessary to the successful execution of the orders of the War Department, its effect was to throw the garrison into the utmost confusion. Major Johnson, also a tried officer, is a Kentuckian. The resignation of these two Majors has been the theme of general conversation in army and navy circles to-day, and intimations are thrown out that there may be more of the same kind before the expe

ovements — resignations of Offigers. Army circles are in a state of intense excitement to-day, (Saturday.) In the midst of the hurry of embarking a large force for a destination as yet unknown, but generally understood to be Fort Pickens, Major Holmes, Commander-in-Chief of all the U. S. forces at this station and General Superintendent of the recruiting business, tendered his resignation this morning, and withdrew from his headquarters on Governor's Island. It is also reliably reported that Major Johnson, who is on duty at this post, has resigned his commission rather than continue the warlike preparations now in progress. Major Holmes is a native of North Carolina, and has been in the service thirty-one years. He has distinguished himself on various occasions, and has always enjoyed the confidence of the War Department. His resignation was totally unexpected, and, occurring at such a crisis as the present, when, as executive head of this important station, his services ar
