The Massachusetts three-months men are preparing
10 leave and the two Boston steamers are expected
the first Of the week 10 take them away. Not many
will reenlist. Many will be the experiences that will
be told when the "boys" once more reach home; sni
IL half what hear be true, the so,s they will fire
will be more numerous and heavier than any which
they have had the luck to favor the rebels with. II
will be FIRE in front and rear, and may prove the ca
pacity Of Of them to the pen expeTtly as
the sword.
The Allen court-martia is understood 10 have come
to an abrupt conclusion by adjournment sine die. It
was in secret session the entire day. and consequently
no witnesses were examined. What occasoned the
abrupt termination has not transpired, though, not
withstanding the sudden adjournment, il 10 believed
that the end is not yet. II is not unlikely that some
irregularity was committed, either in bringing the
charges or ordering the court which, having been dis
covered, makes it necessary TO try again.
The telegraph between Newport News and the
fortress will be in working order this evening tho
work having been accomplished without Interruption.
In view Of the insufficient for supplying the
fortress with fresh water Quartermaster TaIlnadge is
putting up one ofNormandys Eyaporators, which eame
in late steamer from London. 1t wsupply from sat,
or other water ordinarily unfit for use from ten TO CT
teen hundred gallons Of fesb water.
The sutler question las developed no new phase;
and hope is entertained that Mr.. Secretary Cameron,
having convinced himself tha. the removal Of Mr..
Moody would be an unmtgstsd outrage, has concluded
10 leave him undsturbed. II the first man, woman or
child could he found who did protect the act
in behalf Of great principle, there would be, perhaIe,
come shadow of excuse for the act beyond the mere
fact that somebody covets Mr.. Moodys business, and
that Mr. Cameron has the powerto consummae the rob
berry az no other reason exists for Mr.. Moodys re-
moval-a reason that s essentially corrupt, aud one
which, IL generally regarded, would reduce the Gov
ernment 70 a mere machine for plunder. The act, if
DONE will stand out piece Of downright robbery. IL
a. Union man. Moody, and Others through him, are to
be made victims Of persecution at Mr. Camerons HANDS,
the sooner the subject Is brought before Congress and
settled, the better. / understand that as IL IS
the subject is not likely 70 eseape lis attention,
for Mr.. Cameron, having upset the Army Reg
ulatons which for years have governed the appoint
ment of suffers and motives neither honest nor loyal
having already been shown Ii s but right that Con-
Oress shoud take the matter into its own hands and
leave the Secretary Of War 10 attend to the legitimate
duties of his department, instead Of employing his
time in annulling old regulations and making new ones
10 advance schemes Of spectators. Union men, ana
especially Union men in Virginia, who, like Mr.
Moody, have been expatrsted because Of their Union
seutiu,ents have right TO claim the protection OF Con-
eress; and II Mr.. Secretary Cameron permits the war
fare he has commenced them, they viii insist on
,uel protection as may be demanded in the name Oh
decency and right Perhaps in any event il would be
well 20 have q Committee Of Inquiry In Mr.. Secretary
Csmerons case. II the question Of suier did not give
Il employment presume other matters could DO found
that would prove well worthy Of their attention.
