Special Dispatch to The N. Y Tribune.
WASHINGTON. Friday, June %, 1861
FORWARD AT LAST

We are enabled to assert, upon tho authority
of gentlemen, who are in the secrets of the cam.
paign that decided forward movement will be
made within very short time, in the triumphant
success of which. it is hoped that minor dis.
asters, such as befel us at Great Bethel, Vienna
and Matthias Point will be forgotten. We con-
graduate the country, that after this long and
seemingly useless inaction the power Of Govern
ment is about to be felt. Thousands Of hearts,
long respondent with sad forebodings of evil in
innumerabe things, are about to BIO changed to
joy unspeakablo by the bugles of the charge.
Forward to Richmond We seize the cry Of
the old crusader aud shout with exultant voices.
" God wills it God wills it !"
AID TO REBELS.
We have from Baltimore the positive ntelli.
gence that constant and unmatched transporta-
ton of persons. property, aud letters to Eastern
Virginia has been going on by boats at the Poin
of Rocks.
The attention Of the new Provost Marshal OF
Baltimore and of MojOr-General Banks is called
to this subject, which may, however, be already
familiar to them.
REPORT OF THE TREASURY.
! The estimstes of the Secretary of the Treasury
will be at least $500, 900, 900. He will probably
propose national loan of 20O000,000, bearing
interest at per cent. There WILL in addition
to this be an emission of Treasury Notes of de-
nominations of $40 and $50, intended for circu-
I 4 h,,t hls
for public Dues with provision for funding in
any sums beyond 500. 1t is likely that the
loan may be in the form of subscriptions, so a.
to be placed at the command OF smaller capital
ists, and, possibly, payable in instruments. Ho
will also recommend the leyying of duties on
sugar, tea, and coffee. 1t is not, we presume,
intended to invite any resort to direct taxation.
| nor internal duties. Some notifications of the
late tariff, with q view to the enhancement Of
the revenue, may be recommended. Senator
Fessebden of Maine Ia the guest of the Secretary,
and giving him the valuable aid OF his dis
tngulshed ability in practical finance, in tho
general ways and means, and the arrangements
of details.
THE sPEAKERsHIP.
The Hon. Schuyler COliax, it is understood by
his friends, will be candidate for the Speaker
ship. No intelligent opinion can yet be expressed
as to the strength of any one of the three can
didates.
Galusha A. Grow arrived tonight. Col. Blair
has not yet made his appearance, but is e1-
pected tomorrow.
ARRIVAL OF GEN. FREMONT.
Major-GcD. John c. Fremont arrived tonight.
GEN. MCDOWELL REMAINS IN COMMAND.
We are authorized to state, positively, that
Gen. Mcdowell has not been superseded by Gen.
Dix, but remains in command of the North.
Eastern Department. 1t was at one time in-
tended to divide thi, Department, and assign
Gen. Dix TO the command of one half, and Gen.
Mcdowell to that of tho other; but this plan
has been abandoned, and the place Of Gen. Dix
is yet undetermined. The retention OF Gen.
| Mcdowell gives great satisfaction. lie has made
himself thoroughly acquainted with the country
through which he is to lead the army, and as
well acquainted as it is possible to be with an
enemy which never awaits the arrival Of soldiers
whom it affects TO despise
THE FIRST MASSACHUSETTS REGIMENT.
The State of Massachusetts cannot Justly be
held responsible for the wretched uniforms OF
the LIST Regiment Of volunteers, as they were
present from the City of Boston. The State did,
however, provide the knapsacks canteens and
wagons, which are all worthless. Whoever stood
between Gov. Andrew and the soldiers WILL with
out doubt, be held to pretty sharp reckoning.

posted in the vicinity of Leesburg, Col. Stones
