New YORK, June %.
The World has special dispatch from Fortress
Monroe stating that Col. Allen OF the New
York LIST Regiment was arrested to-day by order
of Gen. Butler.
Il then states that Allen and other officers
have arrested many armed Secessonsts lately
who have been released by Gen. Butler. The
dispatch further volunteers the remark that
this and other movements of Gen. Butler cause
his loyalty to be suspected and says it is rumored
that regular officers arc preparing petition for
his removal, and that the n. Y. Regiments are
camorous to have a Major General from their
own State and also that all the officers, both
regular and volunteer, will decline to act in
battle under Gen. Butler
The arrest caused considerable excitement at
the Fortress.
The Tribune remark on the above is that it
has no doubt that Col Allen deserves to be ar
rested.
He left the Police Department last fall on
account OF drunkenness, and the above dispatch
is evidently sent by some friend of COL Allen.
1t considers the nputation on Gen. Butler S
loyalty an abuse, as do most of the people here
A dispatch says that the Washington Repub-
lican processes to have dispatch that the 9th
n. Y. Regiment has reached aud occupied Har-
pcr's Ferry. No Rebel troops were seen.
This dispatch is ubt(ul
Another skirmsh occurred at Senaca yester-
day, between the Everett Battalion and two
hundred rebels, % Of the latter were killed and
d number wounded.
ALEXANDRIA, June ~.
The election for members of the State legisla-
ture which was to have been held to-day under
the action of the Wheeling Convention has been
postponed until Tuesday
1t is now believed here that Gen. Mcdowell
will not be superseded by Cen. Dix although
such change was announced in military circles
several days sisce. If any change is to be made
it is though probable that Gen Fremont will
be placed in command Of this Department,
which has now become SO important, that a
higher grade of co mmanding officers is rendered
necessary.
Gen. Fremont was closeted with Secretary
Cameron at Washington in company with Frank
P Blair, most of to-day. There is but little
probability of speedy advance of the troops
from this quarter. The want of cavalry is ser
iously felt in guarding against the encroach-
ments OF the enemy upon our pickets, and for
the purpose of securing.
New YORK. June %.
Intelligence from Stevenson's Station where
Gen. johnson troops quarter now, states that
the force encamped round about, at the largest
is not over 5000.
The troops are well drilled but not so we'll
equipped as ours. They are under very strict
discipline but seem dlscontcnted and are sloven-
ly in their habits.
Two Reg iments of Alabamians and some Mis-
sissippians reached Harpers Ferry this morning
and destroyed the balance of the tressle. work of
the Railroad bridge. They then came over to
the MARYLAND side and seized all the boats thew
could find and either broke them up or took
them over the river. All the Union men in Har-
per's Ferry were again driven out by them.
