y. If Grant had any intention of making an early advance, of which we have no evidence, the weather has frustrated his plans for the present. He must, of necessity, keep still at least a week. We suggested yesterday that possibly Beast Butler had been relieved from the command of the Army of the James because of his disgraceful and disastrous failures in his attacks upon our left last Thursday week. Though we find in the Northern papers no positive confirmation of this idea; on the other hand, we find no discouragement of it. A Baltimore paper of the 5th, which is before us, under the caption "A new field of duty," says Butler has gone to New York to assume, temporarily, the command of the Department of the East, and will take the place of General Dix. While the Administration had especial use for him in New York city to control the election, which takes place there to day, it is, we think, quite likely he will never return to the Army of the James. Lincoln feared his inf

Butler, according to the Washington ChroniclButler, according to the Washington Chronicle, "will be stationed in New York for the present, thus rendering assurance doubly sure that the traitors of that great emporium, now so infested with the enemies of the Union, will be checkmated and treated just as they deserve to be.

"A private dispatch from Springfield, Missouri, says our troops whipped Price again at Newton country, Missouri, date not given. We now hold the town, and the rebels are retreating into Arkansas. "Major-General Marmaduke, Brigadier-General Cabel, and four rebel colonels, captured by General Pleasanton at the battle at Osage, left here yesterday for Johnson's island. From six to eight inches of snow fell here yesterday," --A party of McNeal's cavalry caught a New York cavalry detachment napping, about fifteen miles from Cumberland, Maryland, on Tuesday morning, and killed three and wounded several; they took the remainder prisoners.
