to a report here that he pushed on directly for
Manassas Junction, which cannot be true.
Myimpression is that one of his brigades, or
portion of one of them, made directly from Alex
andria for Wolf run shoals, about seven miles
above Occoquan; a very important position, it
may turn out, in the contemplated operations
against Beauregard at Manassas.
1t seems to be understood that Tylers column
and most of Hunters, are by this time on the
road between Germantown and Centreviue. II
SO, by p. IN. l think the enemy's entertainments
there lat Centreville) will have been turned; as
the country to the north Of them, for some miles,
is feasible one for military operations. IL
Tyler and Hunter can get past them on the right,
the snemy must leave them in double quick
time; promptly as they left the works 50 labo-
riously made for the defence of their positions
here-at Fairfax Court House-falling back upon
their entrenched camps at Manassas junction.
| do not believe that Beauregard will dare to
make a stand at the Junction, 1t is not defen-
sible position in itself this place was; as, if
Centreville can be turned, Gen. Mcdowell may
turn that also, either on the right (nOrtb) left
(south) For mile and half east of it the
country is comparatively open aud level in all
directions; and to the north, especially. for a
greater distance. Centreyille once Outfanked
(turned) there can be nothing to prevent Gen
Mcdowell, it seems to ne, from getting in the
rear Manassas Junction by way Ofthe Fairfax and
Warrenton Turnpike; breaking up the Manassas
Railroad at Gainesville, by the way. Gaines
Vile is, perhaps, seven miles north Of Manassas
Junction
From that point 10 the Orange and Alexandria
Railroad in the rear Of Manassas Junction, the
way is well nigh as open Pennsylvania avenue

First Blast Of the Northern Bugle.

The New Orleans Bee says: We plead guilty
to the charge Of having, in times past, talked
conf identity of, and trusted implicitly In North
ern conservatism. The fact is, the professed
advocates of that particular ism expressed them
selves habitually so warmly in favor OF the
South, secuted go loftily the idea of coercion,
and advocated with so much apparent sincerity
q system Of conciliation and concession, that
thousands of Southern men were completely de.
ceived. There is no doubt whatever that an
opinion prevailed among US that If Lincoln
should attempt to make war upon the South, the
conservative men of the North would over.
whelm his Administration, and by timely diver.
sions would extend aid and succor to US. 1t was
thought that the thirty thousand anti-Lincoln
majority in New York city would act substanti
ally with the South, or at all events would ex-
hibit its genuine sympathy with that section by
declining to take up arms in behalf of the Fed
eral Government. There were not wanting
among US, too, numbers Of shrewd and expert
enced citizens who calculated largely upon the
commercial ties and identity of interests be-
tween the South and West, and who believed
that ultimately Ohio, Indiana uld other States
In that quarter would be glad to unite their des.
TIMES with those of Southern Confederacy.-
How the first blast of the Northern bugle has
blown away these bubbles of the Imagination!

Divided Opinion at Montgomery--soms for an
: Aggressive, Others for q Defensive Policy.

| The Montgomery correspondent OF the
Charleston Courier, writing on May /, says jeff
Davis ID very anxious that the Capital ofthe
@. s.. A.. should be transferred to Richmond,
while the Secretary of War and a majority OF
the, Cabinet oppose It.. He also writes:
+ The question now raised here, beyond doubt,
is not whether we should simply remain on the
defensive, but whether we should not at once
assume the position of aggressors, "Transgress
the borders," Is the motto of large portion Of
the Congress, though very many are disposed to
halt. The more determined, however, enter
tain no idea Of holding back for aggressive
steps BY Lincoln. The only question they raise
ia as to the policy of attacking Washington at
once, or letting it remain for the moment, and
concentrating their forces upon Philadelphia.
Those who favor the latter course urge these
reasons, and /. must own they ynre cogent: In
the,rat place, tbey say that, notwithstanding the
fact that Washington may be in an admirable
state Of defense, still the troops defending 1t
have enlisted but for three months. Many OF
them, particularly the New York regiments,
are disaffected, and after their term OF enlist
ment expires they will retire and go home
Provisions are scarce, and the city is completely
surrounded by enemies; so that after what food
now on hand is consumed, the place will be-
come an easy prey, and its capture will be rem
dered doubly sure when we have force not
only South Of IL, but to the Northward.
Though the Congress has done very little or
nothing at all In open session, am assured that
the usual diligence and energy has character
lied its secret sessions. Committees to delib
crate upon suggestions thrown out by the Presi'
dent in his public and secret messages have
been appointed, and in some instances have al
ready reported back to the Congress practical
methods whereby to realize the views of his
Excellency, the Executive. learn that active
measures have been taken TO raise the one hun.
dred thousand volunteers recommended by the
President, as well as to raise five millions more
Of money, though cannot say that my in

CHICAGO, May 7, 1861.
To The Hon. Simon Cameron, Secretary of War,
Washington;
DEAR SR:-We are the owners Of six Steam
Tugs, which we are using in towing vessels in
and out Of this harbor. We send list here
with, with brief statement Of the power Of
each and size. 1t has been stated frequently to
us, that they would answer for gunboats very
well. We believe they are urgently needed at
Cairo at this time. They can all be taken
through the Michigan and Illinois Canal, ex-
cept the Mcqueen. They are in profitable use
here but any Of them, or all of them, are at the
service Of the Government,.i If wanted. They
are all built very strong. The "Sturges,"
"Rumsey" and "Union" are new boats. The
Union will not be ready for sea before the last
OF next week, unless We put double set Of
hands at work upon her. The Mulford and
Chase are Ave years old, but they are sound.
The Mcqueen is very powerful tug, and the
fastest boat known on the Lakes, can stand any
sea, and can stand anything else that anything
elselcan stand. We can deliver her In the Chesa.
peake Bay in twenty days from the reception of
orders. The others can be at Cairo In about
ten days (perhaps five to eight.
The present owners will either or both 90 with
the boats, if wanted. Your ob't serv'ts,

LION TAMER-VAN AMBuRG WANTS TO TAME
JEFFERSON DAvIs.-Van Amburg, the lion tanner
was travelling through Talbot county, Maryland
last week, with his horses and menagerie, when
he was warned by a friend to turn back, as the
rebels had formed plans to seize his horses, Of
which he had one hundred and twenty, shoot hit
wild animals, and destroy his property. Van
Amburg fastened to Pennsylvania, where he
encamped with bis property. He now advertises
that he will give 1000 to any one who will
take JEFF. Davis alive, pledging himself, if he
gets him In his keeping, to furnish him with a
bran new cage, and take him through the coun'
try on exhibition as traitor, whose turpitudt
is second only to that of Judas Iscarot.
