Revolt in n New York Regiment--The Mu
tineers Fired Upen.

A dispute between Captain and a Lieutenant
of one of the companies in Col. Legendre's regi-
ment of New York Rifles stationed at Willets
Point, near New York, has resulted in revolt
attended with the shooting of some of the men.
Captain Cresto, it is said, offered $500 to take
his company to another regiment, and agreed
to do it. Col Legendre got word of the matter
and stationed a guard of twenty five or thirty,
with loaded arms to prevent the departure of men
from the camp. The Erening Post of Tuesday saws:
At IL o'clock Captain Cresto left the ground with
scme forty men, most of them members of his own
company, with few from other companies. Some
of these troops had just come from guard duty, and
they say that their muskets were unOaded, and it
is claimed that the muskets of all the men who
were leaving were not loaded.
After leaving the camp the revolters came to
point in the road between Roe's hotel and White
stone, where Colonel Legendre's guard was station
ed. The guard stopped the men, and an alterca-
tion ensued, Cresto threatening the guard and de-
mandng the privilege of passing, and the guard,
drawn across the road, preventing it. During the
word-quarrel pistol in the hands of Sergeant
Thompson, one of the revoters, exploded-he says,
accidentally. The tive bodies of men were then
| standing opposite each other, drawn up in line on
either side of the road. When the pistol was fired,
Lieutenant George Gas reported) ordered the
guard to fire. They fired once, killing instantly
two of the revolving party Ferdinand Markoe and
DOminick Sassi.
Four men were wounded, one of them it is feared
fatally. Henry Thompson, the sergeant who fired
the pistol, was wounded in the thigh; Alexander
| Sloane received ball through his left shoulder
Ami Rankine was wounded in the head, and Lewis
Germani was wounded in the ribs, the ball pene-
| tratng his bOwes-he is not expected to recover.
Two physicians were sent for and came to the
ground from Flushing. They dressed the wounds
OF the men, and all but Germani are said to be

From the PHILADELPHIA Press.
The Confederate ARMY.

Our officers are strongly inclined to believe that
the Confederate army contemplates an attack upon
our troops and upon the city. That was the mo-
tive by which they were brought forward to 81 un-
sons Hill, and the other advanced posts which
they now hold. The report that they have retired
from Manassas Junction is not credited. There is
q stronger force there to-day, and between that
place and the river, than at any previous period.
