Official and State Jealousy AT
Fort MonrOe-.-sCOL. Alien Ar

New York, June 29.-The World has q
special from Fort Monroe stating that Col.
Allen Of the N. Y. LIST regiment was arrested
to-day by order Of Gen. Butler 1t then
states that Allen and other officers have ar
rested many armed secessonists, lately, who
have been released by Butler. On Friday
word came that field of wheat belonging to
Major Thompson, Of the rebel army, was be-
ing gathered to be sent to Yorktown, for the
rebels, and some had the assurance to ask
Col Allen for horses which had been con-
fscated, to convey the wheat to the enemy,
which were refused, and a squad of men
sent to prevent the wheat from being taken.
Soon after the wheat field was in flames and
20 acres destroyed Major-General Butler
thereupon ordered Col. Allen to report at
headquarters under arrest, and paraded his
regiment under command. of Lieut.. COL
Jikeman. The dispatch further volunteers
the remark that this and other movements
of Gen. Butler cause his loyalty to be sus-
pected, and says it is rumored that the reg
ular army officers are preparing petition
for his removal, and that the New York reg
ments are clamorous to have Major-Gener-
al from their own State, and also that all the
the officers, both regulars and volunteers,
will decline to act in battle under General
Butler. The arrest causes considerable OK.
citement ut the Fortress.
The Tribune remarks on the above that it
has no doubt Col. Allen deserves to be ar
rested. He left the police department of N
Y. last fall on account Of drunkenness, and
the above dispatch was evidently sent
by some friend of Col. Allen 1t considers
the imputation Of Col. Buffers loyalty alb,
surd, as do majority Of the public press in
this city.

John Ross, principal chief Of the Chero-
KEGS, has issued his proclamation, reminding
his people of their faith pledged by treaties
with the Government of the United States,
and enjoining on them strict non interference
in the war. The most ucscrupulous and
persistent efforts have been made by the
Confederate rebels to entice the Chorokees
into their war. which must inevitably have
resulted in ruir Of the whole tribe. This
proclamation shows that the red children of
the forest are wiser in their generation than

Progress n nd PrOsnects.

1t cannot be denied that the country is
beginning to manifest feelings Of Impotence
and apprehension at the apparent slow pro-
gress in prosecuting the war, and that an un
willing suspicion is obtruding itself into the
public mind that there are screws loose some.
where. The telegraph brings us daily
mass Of disjointed and for the most part un
important intelligence, Of an advance certain
to take place, of vigorous movements hourly
expected, of a skirmish in this or that place
in which several are killed or wounded on
one or both sides, and that is all. And this
dose has been repeated every day for weeks
The feeling naturally excited by this state of
things is, that with 100000 troops more or
less around Washington, and with an op-
posing force of somewhere about the same
amount so near that the pckets of the two
armies indulge in social chats and an occa.
sioDal glass together, there has been mani
fest most tender regard for human life, and
if the PAST is an indication of the future
management of this war, it will be the most
remarkable contest on the pages of history.
Fhe North has poured out men and money
with lavish profusion, and will continue to
do so, and in return il is but reasonable to
expect corresponding return in'results.-
The feeling is deep as the ocean, that there
must be no tamperins with traitors, no back.

implicit confidence upon the honesty, fidelity
and capacity of those in charge of the war
and not doubling allis right, we must YET
urge as much vigor in prosecuting this wa,
as is compatible with a successful and tri
umphant termination.

Won't Do.

Some Of the old Democratic papers, such
as the Albany Argus, New York News, BuG
falo Republic, &C., are endeavoring to create
the impression that the North is getting
tired Of the war. This is not so, and these
papers know it. The fact is, that nine out
ten Of the people Of the North are to-day
anxious to see the war 60 on; and what is
more, they do not want to see it brought to
a close until the cause oft is efectually
removed

HOW JACK SMITH WAS WRECKED
ON THE MAUMEH.

Everybody knows Jack Smith, rols
licking Engineer on the G. G. and q.
Railroad. Faithful to his duties, yet full
of fun, no engineer on the road is more
trustworthy when at his post on the To-
connective, or more ready for frolic when
of duty. The other day some lake men
at the Terrapin were relating incidents of
shipwrecks which they had met with in
pursuit of their perilous calling. and Jack
sat by tor some time an interested listen.
er. AT length one of the sailor men
turned to him and said
"Jack, were you ever shipwreckedi"
"Indeed was ]. - said Jack. with q lock
that implied q vivid remembrance of the

"On the Maumee."
This raised shout of laughter, but
Jack looked more and more serious, and
little rsffled.a "You may laugh, but its
so, and if you're q mind to listen I'll tell
you all about it,"
Jack, BY the way, knows no more about
sailing craft than Hottentot does aboa,

it, interrupted Jack occasionally with
nautical lingo, which hs never failed to
answer somehow, as you shall see: 14rs

A writer in the Albany Argus who signs
himself "Hampden," draws an instructive
parallel between the condition of Boston
in 1176 and Charleston in 1861. We
make the following extract:

of our history, to the winter Of TITS, only
eighty six years, We shall, if we examine
carefully, find Boston at that time some

1t was in state of irritated opposition
to the British Government, garrisoned by
British troops under General Gage for the
purpose of protecting British property
and executing British laws. Lord North
was as determined then as Mr.. Lincoln is
now to execute the laws, to put down the
traitors, at every hazard and with all the
power Great Britain had at her command.
Lord North believed the colonists could
be easily subdued, and that it was only
necessary to exhibit little 6rmess to
quell the threatened storm. Not so

than its influence upon communities. 1t

ons at which Christian men would do

country nearly all the prominent leaders
of abolitionism, outside of the ministry,

our notorious abolition preachers have re-
nonnced the great doctrines of grace as
they are taught in the standards of the

moral courage instinctively revolt, They

not declare to be sim They denounce, in

the law never employed, relation which
Jesus and his apostles recognized and
regulated. They seek to institute terms
