ville are now completed, and present quite a formidable appearance. For field fortifications they are built very strong, some of the works being bastioned forts, constructed in a manner that shows skillful engineering on the part of somebody — Beauregard, I presume. Great care seems to have been taken with the embrasures, which are built to combine convenience for handling the guns with the best method for protecting the men. They are very strongly built with bundles and sandbag revetments, an extreme South. To say there is a spy retained as a clerk in the War Department is a severs reflection upon Mr. Benjamin, and I wish to give the case a fair consideration before making such a charge. Who is there in Richmond that believes General Beauregard has his headquarters at Brentsville? or that General G. W. Smith is at Leesburg? or that Gen. Johnston is at Manassas? Who is there in Richmond, either in or out of the Department, that cannot point out one hundred errors in every column

ournals. It will be observed that the Virginia regiments are given more accurately than any other, and that the Louisiana regiments are published under the same organization they came into the service with, while we know that there is scarcely one that has been unchanged. The reason for this is because the Virginia papers have been received with more regularity than those from the extreme South.

I am only sorry that earlier notice had not been given, so that a larger crowd could have been present. I have just seen the paragraph in the Dispatch, of the 12th, asking me to inquire for Mr. George M. Morgan, for the benefit of a correspondent at "Camp Qui Vive." Being upon the outposts, I did not see the paper until my attention was called to it this evening by a friend. I am very happy to be able to assist your correspondent in any way, and shall make immediate inquires. There is an officer in Col. Hays' 7th Regiment by the name of Morgan, but his initials are, if I am correctly informed, T. S, instead of G. M. He was a Lieutenant in one of the companies, but has recently been elected Captain. Perhaps Lieut. Morgan may drop me a note upon the subject, to the "care of Telegraph Office, Manassas." Bohemian.

s men up to the standard of good soldiers. The "grand review," where one half of his cavalry tumbled off their horses and where his infantry trembled in their boots for fear of marching upon "Rebel masked batteries," was only designed to quiet public opinion, and was not, as published to the world, the inactive of an advance upon the army of Rebels who awaited them. And what a "review" it was; and how suggestive of Falstaff mustering his recruits to see the doughty McDowell draw up his Bull Ruffners to salute the "big Indian" as he rode slowly along the lines.

ncing people there are no spies about, but to remove suspicion from those who may be innocent. On Friday morning there was a cavalry brigade drill near Centreville, after which six battle flags were presented to the different regiments by Gen. Stuart. The cavalry was drawn up near the fortifications, presenting a splendid appearance to the few spectators who were fortunate enough to witness it. Riding up to each regiment, Gen Stuart, with a short and appropriate speech, presented the flagGen Stuart, with a short and appropriate speech, presented the flags to the Colonels. Each Colonel responded as he received the banner from the hand of the General, pledging himself and his men to bear it safely through all dangers, and to rally around it in the hour of battle. The ceremony lasted about an hour, after which the cavalry returned to their camp, some three miles away.
