Mansfield, U. S. A., the military commandant here, has been this morning, or is about to be, promoted to a Brigadier General. It seems to be understood that the First Regiment of New York Zouaves are at once to change their present arms — Sharpe's carbines — for the Minnie rifle with sabre bayonet. A Board of U. S. Naval Officers is believed to have been ordered to Europe yesterday on special service — probably to purchase vessels-of-war for the Government, we apprehend. Major Anderson was serenaded on Tuesday night. The assemblage was addressed by General Runyon, of the New Jersey Regiment, who said that in a few days they would be called upon to cross the Potomac, [cheers from members of various regiments,] and that they would be called upon to take Alexandria, Norfolk and Richmond; [cries of "That's the ticket!"] and that he expected they would not be required to stop until they took Charleston.

rine movements at the Navy-Yard and Arsenal to-day. The Pawnee left with a large three-masted schooner in tow. The Baltimore with a transport in tow arrived. The Philadelphia went down the river in the morning, but came up in the evening. The Mount Vernon and the Anacostia arrived. The Chesapeake sailed. Steamer Boston with transport in tow, left late in the evening. The most rational supposition indulged in by the quid-nuncs here, is that the Government intends to "re-possess" Harper's Ferry and the Gosport Navy-Yard. Some talk, too, is made of bringing a large war steamer up the Potomac, drawing 22 feet. The Government has no difficulty, so far, in procuring pilots from the North, principally, to navigate their vessels up the river.

Yesterday the class of West Point Cadets, 45 in number, that graduated on Monday last, arrived in this city, in pursuance of orders from the Secretary of War, and reported for duty to General Mansfield, in command here. One hundred men of the New York Firemen Zouaves have been detailed to erect tents (the Sibley army tent) near Benning's Bridge, where the regiment is to be stationed. They expect to go into camp at once. This morning about 7½ o'clock, by the accidental concussion of muskets in a stack in front of
cessary "ten miles square," but we trust they can be overcome, should the choice be made in our State. At the same time, until we know precisely of what States our Confederacy will be composed, it is probable Congress will defer selecting a permanent seat of Government. We think it quite likely that the Provisional Government will temporarily remove to Richmond, from reliable information which has reached us from Montgomery, If this decision be arrived at, our State Executive and citizens of Richmond will heartily welcome the distinguished gentlemen now administrating the Government at Montgomery, and we are sure every facility will be afforded by our people to induce them to came and make their residence agreeable. Even now, we learn that Richmond will, in a few days, be the headquarters of the Confederate Army, it being announced that general officers to command the Southern troops are about to be appointed and sent to Virginia, to direct the movements of the Confederate troops.

Richmond as the Confederate Capital. --We understand there is considerable favor shown to our beautiful and advantageously situated city by the Provisional Congress, as the permanent Capital of our Southern Confederacy. We say advantageously situated, for if Washington was a suitable location for the Capital of the United States, we think that, as we cannot hold that city, the next best selection would be the Capital of Virginia, which has so many historical associations, and around which cluster so many National recollections. For beauty and centrality of situation, facility, convenience of access, polished society, and perfect healthfulness — summer and winter — surely no city in our fair Southern land can vie with Richmond. There is no lack of suitable sites for a National Capitol, and there is abundance of accommodation for the deputies in Congress, and visitors on business or pleasure. Washington had nothing to recommend it as the seat of government, except, perhaps, tha
