PATRIOTIC CLERhs.
A joke was perpetrated in the Post Office De-
partment day or two since, which served a
good purpose. A uewly.appointed head of one
of the divisions conceived the dea OF testing the
boosted loyalty Of number OF his old clerks in
such manner as would leave no doubt ON his
mind as to their real disposition toward the
Government. Assuming grave aud solemn de-
meanor, he passed from room to room, and an.
nounced, with appropriate emphasis that the
War Department having made a requision on
that Department for all the ahe.bOdied men in
it. in view Of the Imminent danger Of an at.
tack upon the city, it became his painful duty
to announce that the clerks in the division OF
which he was the head were expected 10 arm
themselves and report TO Gen. Mcdowell at Ar
lington on Monday morning, 2ith, at q o'clock.
Had a thunderbot fallen from the skies and
dropped among them, no greater CONSERVATION
could have ensued With blsnched cheeks and
quivering lips, some protested that they were
lame, others we're too old; others, again were
almost blind; aud number sat mute under the
terrible announcement, completely dunb-iounded.
A few, about a sixteenth part OF the whole BUZZ
Der, responded uobly that they were ready aud
willing.
LATEST FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
Gen. Butler is proceeding vigorously in organ
izng his command, and their drill is progressing
rapidly He is also throwing up series oi bat
teries opposite Hampton, which will serve alike
to protect bis lines from attack and cover
Hampton so as to render it suitable for new
base of operations. Lieut.-Col. Warren has SUI
perintended the erection OF the irst battery dur
ing the past few nights. Gen. Price still con-
tinues in command OF the six New-York reg
iments, and may yet have an opportunity Of
more fully demonstrating his ability as STRAIT
epist aud tactician. The inhabitants beyond New
market Bridge complain bitterly Of the outrages
OF the Louisiana Zouaves.
Trustworthy information places the loss OF the
enemy at Great Bethel much higher than previous
accounts. Their cavalry was thrown into great
confusion by Grebles shells.
The battery presented by the Union Defense
Committee of New.York to Col. Duryee's Reg.
iment was received with enthusiasm, and par.
italy supplies great need.
CONSULATE NOT DISPOSED OF.
An important politician of the State of New
York, appointed to one of the principal foreign
consulates, is making arrangements for rea-
sonable transfer OF his office to some faithful
friend who vii deal fairly with his beneiactor.
Ii is understood that legal liabilities prevent this
distinguished gentleman from going abroad.
pECLEysIoN BY MAJOR WAXING OF a LIEUTEN-
ANCY.
Major Geo. L. Warng Of the Garibaldi Guard
has declined the appointment of second leu
tenancy in the regular army which was offered
him.
TIE BALTIMORE AND ONO RAILROAD AND TIE
GOVERNMENT.
The Government has been most culpably negligent
through its general officers, in withholding protec-
ton from the property of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad. The damage and waste will reach the
enormous sum of 81, 100000. General Patterson
seems to be- moping about in friars irock'
with pilgrims staff preaching peaceaole cru.
sade, while property is being devastated, and
Onion men hunted down as fusitives, without
protection, or even the presence OF the military
THE NORTHWEST WILL NOT De SOLD.
Citizens of Western States assert that should
peace DO negotiated upon any terms, the
great North.w will regulate tho affairs OF the
Mississippi Valley IN their own way, and under
