Why the troops were hurried up.

--A Washington letter says:

‘ Republican Congressmen say that the reason of the late hurrying up of troops to this point from the North was because Gen. Scott found that troops were concentrating in Virginia much faster than he had anticipated. The troops here are going rapidly into camp upon the high grounds in the flank and rear of the city, but there are no indications that fieldworks are to be thrown up thereon, as has been suggested in the New York administration papers. The command of the Potomac precludes the necessity of such steps at present.
