War trophy. --The cap worn by Capt. Waldrop, the abolition Aid to Butler's leader of Lincoln's men in their recent attack on our forces near Bethel Church, in York county, has been brought to this city by Mr. Thos. French, of York county, and deposited in one of the front windows of the Dispatch office, where it was viewed by hundreds yesterday. It is of grey cloth — what would be called a walking cap. No doubt the wearer thought he was on a pleasant holiday excursion, when leading on his "Zouaves" to annihilate a handful of in a significant Southerners, and never dreamed of meeting so sudden a termination to his assumed greatness. It is related that Butler was so concerned at the death of his pet that he sent, under a flag of truce, to request the return of the personal effects found on the carcase.
