I could see the soldiers on Pickens — they were as thick as bees. I could see them drilling on the beach, and the horses grazing near the fort. General Bragg has ordered all strangers away, or that they take position in the army. He has also moved his quarters from the hospital about a mile and a half in the woods. Two immense Columbiads, each weighing 16,000 pounds, reached West Point, Ga., last Sunday, on their way to Pensacola. From Washington. Washington, May 28.--Colonel Butler and Hon. Messrs. Ashley, of Ohio, and Dunn, of Indiana, arrived here to-day from Fortress Monroe, on the Government transport City of Richmond. All was quiet at the fortress, but some important military movements were in progress. Yesterday five transport vessels, with 2,500 troops, convoyed by the steamer Harriet Lane, went up Hampton Roads towards the mouth of James River and took possession of Newport News Point, and there entrenched themselves. The position is one of importanc

The papers are meanwhile fighting over the credit claimed by different detachments for its capture.

A Drunken Commander. A gentleman who saw Gen. Butler in Baltimore, says that he was so inebriated that he required the assistance of two men to put him on his horse. If the commanders of the enemy begin, at this early period, to keep their "spirits up by pouring spirits down," they will hardly be likely to preserve that sobriety in the hour of trial which is absolutely essential to military operations. In one of the few naval actions which we lost in the late war, the American comma commanders of the enemy begin, at this early period, to keep their "spirits up by pouring spirits down," they will hardly be likely to preserve that sobriety in the hour of trial which is absolutely essential to military operations. In one of the few naval actions which we lost in the late war, the American commander was said to be under the influence of strong potations. We advise Gen. Butler to save his whiskey — it may be necessary to send him home in after his first battle in Virginia.
