any pretext, and vigilant watch will be kept as
to British movements.
yesterday, attempts were made by Rebel
force to cross the Potomac above the mouth Of
the Monacacy, but it was effectually repulsed.
The lowering of a Rebel force in that neigh.

WASHINGTON, June 90.
A Zouave just arrived from Alexandra, re.
ports that there was slight skirmish between
the pickets last night.
Two Rebels were killed, and one Federal
soldier wounded. Our pickets numbered about
80 men, and were attacked by the same number
OF the enemy.
On Friday, word came that field of wheat
belonging to Maj. Thompson, of the Rebel
army, was being gathered to be sent to York.
town for aid to the Bebels, and some had the
assurance to ask Col. Allen for horses which
had been confscsted to convey the wheat to the
enemy, which were refused, and squad Of men
sent to prevent the wheat from being taken.
Soon after the wheat field was in flames, and
twenty acres were destroyed. Maj General
Butler thereupon ordered Col. Allen to report
at headquarters under arrest, and placed his
Regiment under command Of Lieut.. Colonel
Dickerman.
The dispatch further volunteers the remark
that this and other movements Of Butler cause
his loyalty to be suspected, and says 1t is ru-
mored that regular officers are preparing Pc
tition for his removal, and that the New York
Regiments are clamorous TO have o. Major Cen
eral from their own State; and also that all the
officers, both regulars and volunteers, will de-
cline to act in battle under General Butler
The arrest causes considerable excitement at
the Fortress.
The Tribune remarks on the above special
dispatch, that IL has no doubt Col. Allen de-
served to be arrested. He left the police de.
partment of New York, last fall, on account of
drunkenness; and the above dispatch evidently
was sent by some friend Of Aliens. Il consd-
ers the imputation on Buffers loyalty absurd,
as do the majority of the public ofVhis city.
