New YORK, June lO.-Thc Times cores
pendent says Beauregard is said to have de-
clared that he intended concentrating Co.
600 or 10000 men at Manassas Gap and
make their position impregnable, and when
the Federal forces are spent in trying to dis.
lodge them there, he is going to utterly over
whelm and destroy them. u.
A clergyman from Beauford, N. c., states
that men and arms are plenty there, but 70
cash. Farmers complain at receiving scrip
and think Union clubs might be formed there
if backed by the Government.
Government is in possession of many let
ters from Northern men to Southeners,
showing yet many traitors in the North.
The .Trbune's dispatch says Gov. Hicks
has warned the Government of the peril
menacing the Capital from his State and re-
questing that force be sent to Frederick
City, and the reinforcement of the regiments
at Baltimore
Marshal Bonifent states that there are
1000 Sceessisnists in Baltimore, with con.
cealed arms, waiting favorable opportunity
to rise. rsl
The Posts dispatches says the Federal
| troops at the Relay House, are continually
making arrests and detect contraband goods
in transit through that place. Contraband
goods which are seized almost daily, consist
Of percussion caps and military clothing.
WASHINGTON, June I0-It is asccrtained
that portion Of the Federal troops have
gone to Edwards Ferry, and that they will
occupy it Prominently.
The New York 10th has captured broth
err of jackson, Ellsworths murderer.
Our troops complained of the discharge Of
the prisoners Of war by the Government,
asserting that there is no use Of capturing
rebels ifthey were to be Immediately released.

WASHINGTON, June Ga gentleman just

drawn all their batteries from, the Maryland
side, opposite the Ferry apparently with q
view OF concentrating their artillery, and
having it in position to be moved when
they want to retreat.
At Point Of Rocks. they have about one
hundred cavalry and five hundred infantry
and four pieces of artillery. The main for.
ces are at Bolivar, about one mile south oil

Some curious developments are being made,
Among them is found despatch from Har-
vey our lately appointed Minister to Portu-
gal, notifying the Government of South Caro-.
lima of the fitting out of the expedition for
the reinforcement of Fort Sumter, and of it's
destination. Mr.. Haryey's despatch was
the first reliable information the rebels had
of the magnitude and destination of the ex
petition. Mr. Harvey is native of South
Carolina, but for years was resident OF

Destructive FGRE-On last Thursday
night between u and o'clock, fire broke
out in the extensive Cabinet and Chair Fac
tory of X. H. Butler, on Centre street, which
was completely destroyed.
1t is not certain whether this fire was the
work of an incendiary or accidental. On the
evening of the FIRE, Mr.. Butler had in person
attended to the extinguishing Of the fire in the
furnace connected with the steam engine and
took extra pains to see that all was right, az
he did not intend to use The engine again un-
Ill the following Monday. He is of the opin-
ion that his establishment was fired by an
incendiars.
Mr.. Buffers loss il estimated at from s to
10 thousand dollars on which he has an in
surance of S3,100.
The surrounding property was slightly in
jured.
Mr.. Butler is one Of our most enterprising
men, who by his industry and attention to
business had built up an establishment that
was looked upon with pride by every citizen
who feels all interest in the prosperity and
welfare of Cumberland. By this fire many
hands have been thrown out Of employment,
and others who expected t" lie engaged very
socu in new branch, which he intended to
connect with his establishment will nrccssar-
lis remain IDLE We hope Mr.. Butler may
be speedily able to rebuild his establishment
and have greater success in the future than in
