dditional intelligence: Gen. Butler's Blunder — the late Attack on Richmond — some one has blundered again. The late movement on Richmond is acknowledged to have been a failure, and old Butler is in a worse humor than when he run against Magruder at Bethel. The following telegrams tell the tale: Washington, Feb. 10.--The civilians and political critics of the army are indignant that the late dash in the direction of Richmond should be attended with such signal failure. Their planse in the Yankee House has reported a bill dispensing with the services of Generals out of command. This settles McClellan and Fremont. It is said that the Union forces in Arkansas are preparing for a movement which will be directed against Magruder. Gen. Wm. F. Hunter is now spoken of as the new commander of the army of the Potomac. Bulletins are issued every hour in the New York market as to the price of gold. The following is the fluctuation Thursday: At 9.30 am 159½ 9.45

ounded soldiers in Richmond, has made an offer through Commissioner Ould to allow at least fifty Union surgeons through their lines, and all the provisions, medicines and stores they chose to bring with them; which offer has been treated by Secretary Stanton with contemptuous silence, it follows, therefore, that if there is any suffering among the disabled soldiers now in Richmond, it is due, not to the Confederate Government, which has done, in view of the scant means, what it could to make them comfortable; but to President Lincoln and Secretary Stanton, who, when they had the chance to send surgeons and stores declined to do so, or even to consider the offer of the Confederate Government. It is very clear, from the whole conduct of the Administration, that it does not wish an exchange of prisoners, and that it has so conducted matters as to convey to the country the impression that the rebels were ill treating their prisoners whereas the parties really to blame have been themsel

The 15th army corps, Major Gen Hurlburt, has been organized for field duty into four divisions, commanded respectively by Generals Tuttle, Dodge, A. J. Smith and Ventch. Besides the 16th preparations for the campaign have been made in the 13th and 17th corps. A great cavalry expedition has also been arranged, under Gen W. L. Smith, General Grant's Chief of Cavalry, for a raid into the interior of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, and has, we learn, already moved upon Holly Springs, going down the line of the Mississippi Central Railroad. Troops from Cairo, Columbus, Moscow, Grand Junction, Memphis, and other points, have reached Vicksburg. They are expected to go eastward and southward, and form a junction with the column, and with a force setting out from Natchez, Jackson, the capital of Mississippi, will probably be abandone

From New York papers of the 11th inst. we take some additional intelligence: Gen. Butler's Blunder — the late Attack on Richmond — some one has blundered again. The late movement on Richmond is acknowledged to have been a failure, and old Butler is in a worse humor than when he run against Magruder at Bethel. The following telegrams tell the tale: Washington, Feb. 10.--The civilians and political critics of the army are indignant that the late dash in the direction of Richmond should be attended with such signal failure. Their plans were all perfect, and they cannot see how the error occurred. A number of excited individuals have been importuning the committee on the conduct of the war to report to morrow that somebody has blundered, so that the shortcomings of the military officials may be ventilated and another sacrifice be made. Washington, Feb. 10.--Rumors prevail of the arrest of prominent officers who had the late raid on Richmond in charge. Fortr

kee army at Chattanooga. A correspondent of the Louisville Journal, writing from Nashville, gives quite a sombre account of the condition of the Yankees at Chattanooga. He says that the army there is shivering in torpor, and that fuel is so scarce in the camps that all the stumps in the valley have been chipped to the ground. This correspondent adds: A scythe would not shave the grain from the field more closely than the axes of the soldiers the vast forests in Chattanooga Valley. Wood could be procured near Missionary Ridge, but we have actually no animals to draw it to camp. There is no forage at Chattanooga, and horses and mules are dying by scores. Lean and fragile frames are stalking over the fields and through the streets of the city as though a famine were abroad in the land. Dead horses and mules cumber the streets and alleys of the city, and their bodies are rotting in the plains around. Hundreds of animals, turned out to pick subsistence in the field, have wan

The Federal force which is now advancing into East Mississippi, and before which in retiring Gen Polk has evacuated Meridian, is under the command of Gen Sherman, and consists of two army corps--the 16th and 17th, under Hurlbut and McPherson. The cavalry to attend the expedition left Memphis for Corinth on the 3d inst. The St Louis Republican, commenting upon the movements in that quarter, says: Promising activity is observable in Gen Sherman's and Gen Banks's department. Quite a number of troops have been concentrated in the vicinity of Vicksburg, and already our lines have been advanced towards Jackson, as far as the Big Black.

The campaign is opening very handsomely, and we are likely to witness a magnificent exhibition of military strategy on both sides. Gloomy State of affairs in East Tennessee. The New York World, of the 7th, says: Our Nashville correspondence represents that affairs are in a sad condition in East Tennessee. --Longstreet has had his own way in that section, and has succeeded in foraging upon the most productive portion of the State, and this, too, while the troops at Knoxville have been compelled to endure the privation of limited rations. General Schofield has taken command, and hopes are entertained that a change for the better will be the immediate result. The late raid on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad--loss over a million dollars. A letter from Cumberland, Md., dated the 8th inst., says:
