Congress has passed bill for the increase of the
army to the amount of force and u the exact terms
anticipated by us, from Intelligence in posses
sion, some days ago. Previous to the passage of
the army bill, it ascertaned from official sour
ces that we now had no less than 10000 men in
the field.
Something Rich!
Simon Cameron, Secretary of War of the United
States, has been sngularly exercised about the
body o: his deceased brother, Col. Cameron of the
New York volunteers, killed at Manassas. Actua-
ted by silly pride about addressing Gen Johnston
ty, just the British authorities were towards our
Washington, he has resorted to every device to Sc
cure this object. Some already known to the
public day or two ago, flag of truce came to
our pickets and sent in the following to Col. J. T.
B. Stuart, of the Cavalry, commanding at Fairfax
Courthouse:
WAE DEPARTMENT., !

The bearers, Messrs. German, of Baltimore, Ap-
pegate and Sterling, visit Richmond for the single
purpose of obtaining the remains of the late Colonel
Cameron.

SIMON CAMERON,
Secretary of War.
Col. Stuart returned the communication with
the following endorsement:
HEADQUARTERS, FAIRFAX G. H., !
August 2, 1861.
The within communication has been sent me, but
being addressed 'to a0honl it may concern" is
turned for the that its object does not con-
cern me, nor any one else that | am aware of, in
the Confederate States OF America.

Colonel 1st Cavalry, Comm anding.
The gentlemen were also informed that General
Johnston, when properly addressed on the subject
would give any aid in his power for the recovery
of Col. C.'s remains.

Volunteers.
The Bodgett Volunteers, CAPTAIN Foster Blod-
gett, received the yesterday of their prospec.
tive detachment from the Sd Georgia regiment,
now here. There was much rejoicing over the
promised change especially as in their new sphere
the command will be converted into flying ar
tilery.
Evacuation of Ncwport-Nevs and Hampton.
There is no longer shadow of doubt that the
invaders have evacuated both Newport News and
Hampton. Craney Islanders aver that Magruder' 8
men have been seen this morning in considerable
strength at the first and in the vicinity of the Sc.
cond place. SO much for the Duke of York.
The Spirit of the Old North State
Ihe regiment under the command of Colonel
Pettigrew, mentioned as the 18th North Carolina
regiment, is volunteer regiment arrived from the
Old North State. The State itself has alread V
furnished, outside of the volunteer organization,
of,which Colonel Pettigrew's command is portion,
eight regiments OF infantry, two of cavalry, and
| one of artillery.
More North Carolina Troops
More North Carolina troops came down last
night on the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad and
went over to Norfolk. They were in charge OF
| Captain Moody, of Northampton.
Investigation
The Investigation of the charges preferred
against Mr.. William H. Lyons, of want of loyalty
to the State resulted in his complete vindication.

PORTSMOUTH, August 8.-Hampton was burned
| last night! There is no doubt this point; and
| it is not meant that the town has been destroyed
| by sections, but wholly, pletely, fully. The
first indications of the cOnfagraton were observa-
/ I
but not until II did the confagration spread so as
to remove every possible doubt of the work our
| 'natural allies were performing. Between that
| hour and three the scene terrific ip point OF
| grandeur. Our nearest point OF observation being
Primers Point, of our river batteries scores
soldiers and citizens avaied oft to witness the sub
| lime but aggravating spectacle. Mr. Thomas Jett
late citizen ofthat classic little town. who is now
a member of the Old Dominion Guards, and station
| ed here, OF the spectators and from his
accurate know ledge of the locality, there is hardly
| doubt that the ruin is universal. Probably a
| house may be standing here and there, but the
cases are believed to be rare as to authorize me
| in writing that Hampton ia in ashes. The extent
TO which these national licensed incendiaries pro-
ceeded may best be inferred from the fact that the
| churches shared the same torch with stables.
| As vet adequate estimate can be made of the
losses sustained. In our midst, there are numbers
| of families who quit the village some time since,
| locking up their dwellings and leaving furniture
ETC., ETC., behind, under the of the Fede-
raj military authority there that private rights
would be respected. Like all other promises here
| tofore made, this has been broken, and Unionsts
| have shared equally with Secessionists the loss OF
| all their worldly goods. Such must ever be their
fate and it is high time they waking from the
| deusive hope of escape.
| So far as the eve, with spv-glass aid can dis
cover, Chesapeake Female College alone was spared
| for the present, perhaps because Raymond, the
| school teacher, whose recently deserted from
HolIer's creek, occupies it boarding house foI
| Lincoln's army officers. In due time, that edifct
will unguestionably be burned or battered down.
| Singular as il may appear, no complaint-no ex
