The Cabinet had protracted session to-day
with Gen. Scott.
There is no sign Of any important move

relief. Gen. Scott won't do nnythiug, and
won't let anybody else.
There is great deal Of marching, and COM
termarching, and music, among the newly
arrived troops to day, but is mefo show basi-
ness.
1t is proposed to send Gen. Butler, with
10000 men, Who can be spared from Fortress
Monroe, direct TO ChaEleston. That would
bring them to their milk.
Great Injustice has been done to General
Patterson By holding him responsible for the
apparent dilatoriness Of the movements Of hi,
army. He acted strictly in accordance with
the orders Of Gen. Scott, Who did not desire
him to occupy Ha7per's Ferry with bis forces.
