stand out in the cold, advancing in a supply of muskets for infantry, cannon for artillery, sabres and revolvers and rifles for cavalry, locations of expeditions, &c. When he has completed these advances he will close up the rebellion, and then the men who now clamor for an immediate advance will be compelled to acknowledge the wisdom of Gen. McClellan's programmed. In this connection, it may not he impolitic to say that the reason why the expeditions under the command severally of Gens Butler and Burnside have not left for their places of destination, has been in consequence of the recent complication with Great Britain. The settlement of the Trent affair has changed the face of things, and now the advance of Gen. McClellan will suddenly become more general on land and sea, and in good time, if the impatient will only be patient the country will better understand the cause of what seems to the which is only a necessary pr final and glorious consumma From Fortress Mon

clare that the fighting at Port Walthall on action Saturday was terrible, and that they suffered very severely. Gen. Heckman's orderly was killed by his side, his horse was shot under him and the fingers of one hand were shot off.--They say that Butler was in command, and Gillmore was on the field. The impression prevails throughout the army that Gen Beauregard was in command. Butler caused a telegram to be read to the troops early Saturday morning, stating that Grant had gained a great victoButler caused a telegram to be read to the troops early Saturday morning, stating that Grant had gained a great victory over Lee; had driven him twenty miles, and at last accounts was self-driving him. This lying announcement was received with a great outburst of applause, of cause, Speare's cavalry Raid. The notorious Speare, who was so successfully driven back at Broadwater Bridge on Friday, by Sturdivant's battery and Col Ratcliffe's regiment, immediately turned his course towards the source of the Blackwater river, and crossed at a point several miles higher up, where the stream is so insignifican

On Sunday we obtained an excellent view of the entire force on the Island, the 2d regiment of the corps d'afrique. This was the first regiment raised by Butler, and is composed not only of runaway slaves, but many free negroes of Louisiana. They object decidedly to be called corps d'afrique, and style themselves the 2d Louisiana. About 400 were on drill and parade, and certainly made a superb appearanfficers above the rank of sergeant are all white — all New England Yankees — and are tyrannical and exacting Any dereliction of duty, or untidiness of appearance, upon the part of the "coffered" soldiers, is visited with severe extra duty. Under Butler's reign negroes were officers, but with the new regime, the position of sergeant is the great object of their ambition. From the strutting airs of these scions of "loyalty," one can surmise the importance which formerly attacked to commissioned

Now, as our army from Chattanooga may pounce upon Atlanta, if not strongly defended, and thus cut off the subsistence of Richmond, Johnston, with a large force, must remain in Georgia, at all hazards to Gen Lee. In this view Gen Sherman holds the right wing of Gen Grant's forces operating against Richmond. Gens Butler and Baldy smith the left, and Gen Meade the centre with the heroic old Army of the Potomac-and all under the watchful eye of the victor of Vicksburg. If successful on either wing or in the centre Gen Grant wins the game. But right, left and centre, we anticipate his complete success. The councils of the military authorities are kept remarkably secret. Heretofore, on the eve of battles some idea could be formed of contemplated movements; but now they are matters of mere speculat
