On returning there from his late tour, he denounced his officers as a set of "damned cowards," his men as half traitors, and sent his resignation to Richmond. The authorities there requested him to withdraw it, and he will probably do so, under a promise of a higher position. Brig. Gen. Lander, at last accounts received here, was at Romney with five thousand men. The Alexandria slave pen — the difference between rebel prisoners and our own. Washington, Feb. 9. --The old slave pen in Alexandria, to the burning shame of our officers though it be, is still used as a guard-house for the soldiers. We visited it on Saturday morning again, with Mr. Lumley, the artist of the New York Illustrated News, who succeeded in making one of his usual accurate sketches of the bleak walls and iron gates. It is merely a square pen,

ore delight at the news of our recent victories in Tennessee than Senator Andy Johnson, of Tennessee, and Emerson Etheridge, Clerk of the House of Representatives. They have been busy explaining to Senators and Representatives the strategic importance of the acquisition of Forts Henry and Donelson. The possession of these defences not only cuts off the communication between Bowling Green and Columbus, but opens to Federal authority and protection a tier of counties extending along the Tennessee river to Mississippi and Alabama--a corner in which large majorities were cast against secession, and where thousands of Union men are still loyal and ready, if provided with arms, to fight for the maintenance of the Union. Gen. opinion of John. McClellan, In a speech delivered at a supper in Wheeling, Va., on the 6th inst., Gen. gave many reasons why he has him as a student, and he had known him as a practical military man, and in both relations he excelled.

A number of the public buildings are unoccupied; why allow them to remain unused, while our soldiers are sleeping on the cold damp ground in this vile hole? If it is not a crime to wear the United States uniform; why use the men so? We hope that the new Secretary will see that our troops are put at least on a par with rebels. A collector in Alexandria — protection to rebels. A collector from the firm of Hoopes & Townsend, an iron maal here over two hundred pieces of light artillery, all of which are ready for the field, and are held as part of the reserve, in case anything should happen to the four hundred now in the army of the Potomac.

On being interrogated, he stated that he belonged to the Virginia militia at Leesburg and came up to visit an uncle Col. Geary, believing him to be a spy, thought he had better be turned over to Uncle Sam. He gave his name as Henry Demory. A deserter from Leesburg, named Samuel Cain, previously found his way to the river, opposite Sandy Hook, and was ferried over.

Col. Geary, however, ordered their immediate destruction by fire, and failing to ignite revenge the death of their late comrade, but were prevented by a gesture from Col. Geary.

She will here take on board her armament and stores. She is in charge of Lieutenant Commanding Crosby. The Pinola is a screw steamer, about 156 feet in length and 57 feet beam, drawing light about ten feet three inches. The engines (two) are beautifully finished, are about 500 horse power, and were built by C. Reeder, of Baltimore. Sickness in Lincoln's family.

conduct for inhumanity, and then degrade our own troops by putting them upon a level with the "property."--We do not question the propriety of arresting the soldiers for divers offences, for it is absolutely necessary to maintain order and discipline; but why when rebel soldiers are taken, when Secesh emissaries and spies are arrested, are they taken to good quarters in clean houses and well provided for. There is a grievous wrong here that should be remedied at once. Gen. Montgomery and Col. McLean are men of kind hearts, and in whose breasts there lacks not the slightest sympathy for a Secessionist; but somebody is to blame for this inhuman state of affairs. We cannot learn who it is. Why tie up the hands of our officers whose whole souls are in the war?--Why dishearten and disgust our volunteers by such invidious distinctions?
