poudent says Beauregard is said to have de-
cared he intended concentrating 60, 600 or
10000 men at Manassas Gap, ana making
their position impregnable, and when the
federal forces are spent in trying to dislodge
them there, he is going to utterly over
helm and destroy them.
A clergy man from Beaufort, North Caro-
lima, says men and arms are plenty there,
but no cash. The farmers complain of re-
ceiving scrip, and think Union clubs would
be formed there if backed by the govern
ment. The government is IN possession OF
many letters from Northern men to South
erners, showing that we have many traitors
among Us.
The Tribune's dispatch says Gov. Hicks
has warned the Government of the peril
menacing the capital from his Stale, and re-
questing that a force be sent to Frederick
CITY, and the reinforcement of the Regi-
nent at Baltimore. Marshal Bonifant states
there are 1000 secessionists in Baltimore

tunity to rise.

the meeting to maintain the Union under
any circumstances. Mr.. Dayton said since

/ WASHINGTON, June 9th.-Oficial letters
from England give assurance that the Brit
ish Government is gradually changing from
its original partiality tor the rebel States
but the Government is yet anything but
friendly to the Union, but is not so decidedly
open in its hostility as it was before the ar
rival of Sir. Adams. These letters leave no
room to doubt that the Ministry had once
determined upon recognizing the Southern
Confederary, and they were endeavoring to
precipitate such action before the arrival of
our new Minister
In the interview which Mr.. Adams had
with Lord John Russell, the former very
distinctly expressed the belief that the Brit
ish Government intended such a purpose
and charged the British Ministry with a
want of common diplomatic courtesy ample
to decide upon a question so vital, be-
fore affording an opportunity 10 the Ad-
ministration Of explaining the position in
which the Government of this country was
placed tie object of the rebels, and the power
OF the Government 10 support the rebellion.
Mr.. Adams took occasion 10 represent to the
British minister the injustice of recognizing
the rebels and to warn him that this Govern
ment would not permit the interference of
any foreign government to prevent the sub
Jugatlon OF The rebel States of the Union.
1t is more than probable the Spanish
Government will decline to receive Carl
Schurz as Minister to Spain. AT least the
representatives Of Spain here at Washing
ton do not hesitate to express the belief
Two regiments Of Rufus Kings Wiscon-
sin brigade have been ordered to report at
Washington forthwith. The remaining
four regiments of the brigade are ordered
ri, nal in,
Washington on forty eight hours notice
The suggestion Of the Chicago Tribune
that Governor Yates should be appointed as
to Douglas, does not meet with
much favor in Washington. 1t is probable
that Jesse .. Orion will be appointed
Although there has been an air of quiet at
the War Department there has really more
business transpired to-day than at any time
since the rebellion.
