e renttion of being good officer, and fond OF prac-

war The advance of this regiment leads to the
;epee that the tide Of reenforcements to Washing
,op will TO some extent at least be turned aside IN
other directions because the army Of the Potomac s
now equal to any emergency, and the crisis IN Mary
land mast When it shall become known, as hope 1t
will be, that force ia collecting here and at other
points for the grand flank movements on the Southern
coast the dsintegaon Of the rebel army facing Wash
ineton, will commence. Had the movement against
Hat,eras been a scale that would have enable our
forces to proceed right forward filed the Pameo and
Albemarle Sounds with gunboss aud lined the main
shore of North Carolina with troops, that disintegra-
tion would already have progressed to fatal extent
Brilliant az was tie Of that expedition, subse-
ouent expers nee as shown that ii not Oh suti-
GENTLY comprehensive scale. 1t is better therefore
that future movements should be delayed until they
can be made with full knowledge Of the ground and
with means az hand requisite TO accomplish grand re-
suits.
The Fire Zouaves do not seem TO have rem-
uuished entirely their old habits though as yet
nothing very enormous has been laid at their
door, The detachment that came this morning, on
poing aboard the Newport News boat, found
cask of ice cream, a daily shipment Of which
an enterprising eOntraband" receives from Baltimore
They had lust partaken Of their morning ration and
took the cream for dessert, each man taking off as
much as he could scoop up in bis hand. 1t has come to
be settled principe that freight transport boats
cannot be made to square with bills "Lost in action
IA by no means barren column, though it is not very
difficult to say who found the articles enumerated.
Thus quantity of flour, shipped from Baltimore on
the Louisiana las been ascersined 10 have turned up
IN the camp Of the Fire Zouaves, who came on the
came boat.
The Baltimore State Prisoners took their departure,
IN charge of Capt Costar of the Cd Regiment for New
York to-day on the steamer George Peabody, for con-
fnement in Fort Lafayette which, just DOW, is the
most popular institution in the country 1t would seem
from this that it il not the intention OF the
To release any of them, but that the business ends
with the releasing of Mr.. Wmans. They were accom-
rnied from the Fortress the boat by strong guard,
and they seemed RS little concernedas though they were
about to leave pleasure trip gentleman from
Baltimore assures me that the arrest OF these conspIa-
tors snuffed out rebellion there like q candle.
A flag Of truce came into our camp at Newport News
for physician and in obedience 70 the call, Dr. Bon
tecon, of the I'd New-York Regiment, went out and
prescribed for six or eight sick persons the last Of
whom resided within two miles of Yorktown. From
this it would seem that there were no physicians
among the rebels in that part of the country Has the
low sanary condition Of the rebel army the Poto-
mac called them all hencel On any other ground the
proceeding is indeed strange
am informed that unusually large percentage
Of the late payment the troops has been home
20 their families, aud for deposit in savings banks
Paymsster Van Ness is here paying off the reg
ulaB There are some remarkable instances of fru-
Bafty among them.
Capt. Churchill late Adjuant on Gen. Wool's staff,
viii leave tomorrow for Washington where battery
awaits him. Out of long list Of officers at the Folt-
ress six months ago, not half dozen remain. They
have been called to all parts of the country and gener
6ly 10 most responsible pobltl0na Capt CARING Las
been appointed to position on Gen. Wools staff us
aid. He an accomplished officer aud will be an ac-
QUESTION to the military family of the commanding Off
ser.
Capt. Ayres, who, commander Of Sherman's
battery at Bull Run, much distinction, and
who, in reply TO question of Gen. Scott whether he
brought bis guns away, replied, Yes, Sir; and two
that do not belong TO me, has recruited new
psny in Pennsylvania and repaired to Washington.
There is not gallant man in the army of the
Potomac than Capt. Ayres. 1t the remark of
Gen. Scott that for the manner he fought ut Bull Run
and afterward conducted his retreat he deserved to be
made General. No one who knows him doubts that
he is ten thousand times capable than hundreds
who have that distinction conferred on them under the
volunteer system. Capt Ay res is Il native Johstown
Fulton County, New-York, stands six feet two and
looks the hero.
Up to the present writing, the flag of truce has
neither come nor departed to-day. The Circumstance
should not be deemed an extraordinary one since
bitches are liable to occur on all new routes The
Qiartermaster to whom has fallen good deal of the
Euperintendency Of the new line, and who for some
days used sheet borrowed from the hotel for fac of
truce pary on account of bis deposition to have bust
mess done 10 the right way, and partly in consideration
ofthe character Of bis passengers moE. Of them being
lad es, made a requisiti0n on Fhg.Oieer Colds
borough for the requisite quantity Of bunting to which
the Fag-0fcer, in view of the prophecies Of the
thing promptly and gallantly responded by sending
the articles desired.
