ats. It cannot be true that there is no ice in Washington — the Yankees certainly carried away a good deal from Bull Run. It is true it was coward-ice, but any kind in the dog days is better than none. Speaking of dogs.--It is said that "every dog has his day. This is no doubt true; but so is the converse. Every day to us up some dog in Washington, and washes him into a Major, Colonel, or General, in the grand army;" and proposition and converse are both thus established. General Banks, ever since the battle of Manassas, has been singing, "Ye banks and brays (braes)" Ely, now confined in Harwood's factory, has been trying to wriggle himself out of the difficulty he has placed himself in. He is a slippery fellow. The Boston Advertiser says "John Magruder is suffering at Bethel for hair dye and patent leathers" The "dyed in the wool" Yankees who ran from Bethel to Old Point on the day of the memorable battle, certainly used sole leather to advantage, as wa

be unfit. Blunders and destruction must necessarily follow every stop they take. We should as soon think of selecting a doctor to act as Judge Advocate, or appoint a lawyer Surgeon-General, as put a politician at the head of an army. Politicians are bad enough at the best.--They are the guests of the country in peaceful times, and the authors of all the political woes and nearly all the wars that afflict mankind. But when they seek to increase the public calamities by asking to be put in positions for which they are notoriously unfit, they ought to be handed over to the Provost Marshal.--Would any one think of putting one of them in command of a line-of-battle ship? And yet, they know just as little of managing "a squadron" in the field as a squadron at sea. It is murder in the first degree to send men to battle under such leadership. Long may Lincoln monopolize the manufacture of such warriors as Major-General Butler, Banks, Patterson, Cadwallader, and others of that ilk!

eake Female College building was on fire; but the daylight revealed its lofty cupola and bold front standing proudly in its place upon the beautiful shore of the splendid roadstead. The heavy booming of the great guns at Fort Monroe, on Saturday, announced the arrival of Gen. Wool, who has no doubt entered upon the discharge of his military duties. Our citizens have concluded to make no pleasure trips to Old Point until the next season; so the grand fancy balls at the Hygeia and at Banks', the bountiful hog-fish dinners at Burcher's and Tabb's, and the pleasant walks on the "sounding sea-shore" by moonlight, have all been postponed. The enjoyment of these pleasurable recreations is only a question of time. If our brave commanders deem the possession of Fortress Monroe desirable, it will be taken, and at such time as may be thought proper by them. It should have been taken when it might have been ours without loss of life or limb. When it shall be in our possession, our n

Cameron's call for troops--Gen. McClellan, esc. Washington Aug. 19. --The following communication has been issued by the Secretary of war: "To the Governors of Pennsylvania, New York Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Ahola Island, Masons and Michigan:" "By order of the President you are urgently requested to forward to Washington regiments at Government expense, allowing clothing, &c., to follow them. Simon Cameron, Secretary of War." Generals Dix and Banks, by new military arrangements, are now subordinate to General. McClellan, whose department comprises Maryland, Delaware, Virginia (all of the mountains) and the District of Columbia. Fortress Monroe is not included in General McClellan's command.
