Disappointed in the expectation Of paying visit to
Newports News to-day, | am compelled TO coniine my
observations TO Old Point.
/ am glad that the Naval Brigade have succeeded in
making an arrangement under which they are to re-
main here for a week, within which time itssupposed
an understanding may be arrived At, by which the
services of the fine body of men, and perhaps most Of
the officers may be secured II may tske the
form of q new organization. / understand that the
chief purpose of the temporary arrangement Is 10
confer with the Government. The misfortmes Of The
Brigade are truly lamentable. The men are not at
fault and ought to be protected from the mistakes of
Others
They are willing and anxious 70 serve the Govern
ment. That in good hands they, a body are equal
to the material Of most other regiments there be
no dispute. Nor is il improbable that the brigade has
TO some extent been made 10 suffer from a conflict Of
authority elsewhere. 1t s reported that Secretary
Cameron is expected TO arrive here soon, to-day, per-
hans hope that since men are wanted here, and
hence this large body are the spot he will consent
to some arrangement whereby justice will be done
to the patriotic intentions Of those who compose the
brigade, ard the Government insured the benefit Of
their services
