Il now seems certain that q ,neral BuTLEF
is to be succeeded at Fortress Monroe by Gen
eral JoHS L. Wool. The military career o
BUTLER has been simply absurd. He vii
leave Virginia. as he left Baltimore, an ohjec
Of ridicuie and contempt. Man will grow
mirthful over the sound of his name. lie has
threatened to take Richmond, bat he has taker
nothing except his pay and rations since be en-
tered the State. The battle Of Bethel, il
which lie took 40 part, will long be re member
ed as al illustration Of his generalship anG
the p0npous procl atioD, in which he assert
ed that because Geuoral PIERCE did not in
s.antly rua away, lie ''lost his presence Of
mind an illustration Of his S Iirit and chi
valry.
Major General Wool, by whom Genera
BuTLsR is succeeded, is q veteran officer Of the
regular army, and undoubtedly man of cou-
rage and experience. But he must he new
nearly seventy five years o. age, and it seemed
to be the opinion OF the late General ScoTT,
that he is too inirm for active service. Pogsl-
bly, General Wool may entertain the same opin
ion of General SCorT. But if he does moi
take warning by the fate of the latter and
shut himself up closely in lis fprtress. they
will soon be brothers in stil iction.

The Washington correspondents Of the New
York journals inform the world that, in ten
days, Gen. McCLxLLAS will be at tho head Of
hundred and df,y thousand well equipped
IN IN, and will resume offensive operations by
the lst of September,
All shis may be true, but i. is not probable
that letter writer's are admitted to the military
secrets, or, if they are, the Generals are inf,
for their position. MCCLELLAN may begin his
operations in "a few days, few weeks, or fe W
months; he may choose Western Virginia,
Winchester, the lower Potomac. or some ether
zig-zag mode Of corkscrcwirg into the coun-
try, or resume the direct lire for Manassas
hut whatever his purposes. the letter writers
know no hing OF them, and only speak at ran
dem. Whatever they may be, he has TO en-
counter the yiSilant eyes OF such Generals as
BEAuRFGARB and JOHNSTON the unfalteriDg
courage Of such men as met and overcame the
gEca.es; odds at Bethel, Bulls Run, and Man
assas ard, above all, that Divine Providence
whose interpretation from the first in behalf OF
the Southern canse has been manifest and un-
skill aud energies can prosper. We have no
disposition to uuderrate Gen. MoCLELLAy's
abilities, but he viii end more than his equal
in JOHNSTON and BEAuREeARp; and the hun
dred and fifty thousand men, even If not ali
men in buck-am, will probably find the South
ern army increased in sufficient proportion to
repeat the scenes and results of the . LIST, even
if the invaders are lucky enough to find us
acting on the defensive.
