THE LION IN HIS LAIR.

From a friend who has Just returned from
Washington, we have been listening to vivid
description of the scene, now daily one, in one
of the lofty apartments of the war office, where
Gen Scott passes many hours of the day and
night, at a time of life when most men natural
" court ease, but which the old hero is now de-
voting to the greatest achievement of his event
full and honorable career, the demonstration Of
the strength and power of republican form OF
government.
Enfeebed in body, but clear-mindcd and Wig
orous in intellect as ever, Gen. Scott is now
cheerfully undergoing labors that would over
tax the strength of many far his Juniors in life
and in service. An early hour Of the day finds
him surrounded by aids and advisers, and not
until a late hour of the night does the work
cease. The bustie and din OF tnc city and camp
are hushed at nightiall, but not for many hours
later does the headquarters of the Lieutenant
General lose its features of activity.
The scene on the day in question was one on
which the pencil of Leutze would dwell low
ingly to the production of painting that should
. he a vivid history Gen. Scott, suffering more
than usual by an attack of gout, lay half reclin-
Ing upon a lounge drawn into the center of the
large apartment, his feet resting upon pillows
mot the Pillow of Tennessee, upon whom, il
the fellow does not retreat to a ditch, he will
set MS lOOt presently
About the old chieftain, whose massive frame
seemed more impressive from the contrast, were
gathered men in uniform of army and navy
eminent citizens in the plain black civilians
dress, with here and there one whose dress and
features told of rough services on some crrand
whose results were now to he reported to tht
modification or comprehensive plans OF the Wai
Department.
On the wall opposite the lounge occupied b!
Gen Scott were suspended two large military
maps of Virginia and Maryland, with all thei
careful details, closely representing the country
its features. accesses, fortresses and approaches
1t was noticed that about Harper's Ferry, Rich
mond and Norfolk were drawn large circles
within which the details became more minute
with symbols and signs abundant, of signifi
canoe to military men, the key to which belong
to the war office.
BY General Scots side lay long light rec,
which he made use of in pointing to dfferen
localities ON these maps. Aids amanucnses
advisers, were all busy, quietly and all withou
stir or confusion. In that room and on sucl
scenes and consultations hang safely the fate o
this war in the speedy and condign punishment
of traitors Probably 10 one but the hungrie
of the Washington correspondents, will regre
or fail to applaud the wisdem of the war de
| partmcnt or indeed of the government as
whole, in only sparngly admitting to confdenc
the newspapers and the general public. 1t
enough to know that the government is thor
oughly at work in all its Departments for tn
crushing out of treason, and General Scott
indeed a close and voluntary "prisoner" to du
ties whose execution will make the setting su
of the old hero illusrious in all time.

praised for its "modoration" and for other quail
tiles which were by no means in such favor
while the Sumter fever was at its hight. Men
look grave and talk about the interference of
England and France, which "cannot allow this
thing to go on" But the change which has
come over them is unmstOkeable, and the best
men begin to look grave. As for me, must
prepare to open my lines of retreat-my COM

culean efforts in its Department of War. Prep
aration on the most gigantic scale has gone on
steadily and unhagging'y under the Intelligent
and able superntendence and direction of Cen
era Scott. An immense body of volunteers
have been thrown into camp, and drilling eight
hours a day under competent officers of West
Point training The arms at hand have been
distributed, and all who are to engage soon IN
battle have been thoroughly equipped with the
best weapons. Factories for the manufacture
of cannon, rifles, sabres, bayonets and ammu-
milton of every description, are in full operation
at the North during the whole twenty-four
hours of each day.
Agents have long since been sent abroad to
Europe to procure and forward, as 1ast as pos
sible. cargoes of improved arms, and already
tbev have begun to arrive. Great efforts have
also been made for the health, comfort and sup
niles of Northern troops. Energy and promp-
titude have characterized their movements both
in MARYLAND an St. Louis, and their success
along the border has so far been complete.
They have in the West obtained and secured
the great repository of arms for that section,
equipped our enemies of ST. Louis, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio, leaving the resistance men OF
Missouri poorly provided, Kentucky unarmed
and overawed, and Tennessee also, with mea-
gre provision for fighting dependent on the
cotton States for weapons OF defence. Mary
land has been cowed and overpowered, Wash
ington rendered as secure as may be, while
Virginia is invaded and Richmond threatened
with capture. In all this military proceedings
Of the North, since the fall of Sumter, have
been eminenty wise. For the purpose of over
powering. disheartening and gaining the first
advantages, which, both at home and abroad,
nre of immense importance, the concentration
/ of all the forces available as promptly as pos
siblc, has been clearly the course Of generalship
and true economy.

that the attack was made with propriety, vigor
and courage, but that the enemy were found to
be supported by battery, variously estimated
as OF from fifteen to twenty pieces, some OF
which were rlled cannon, which were very well

The following is private letter from an Of
fcer in the Vermont regiment to his brother in
Boston:
CAMP BUTLER. June 10, 1SG1-11 A. NJ.
| sit down to give YOU an account of an af-
fair which occurred last night, or rather this
morning, at about o'clock. The rebels have
been Stationed as we supposed, at Yorktown,
about eighteen miles from here. Gen. Butler
planned an attack upon them. We had intelli-
gence that they had moved toward our camp
some eight miles, At place called Bethel. A
party OF some 1000 men, composed Of the I'd,
4th, 9th, Sth, 10th companies of the Vermont
regiment five companies of the Fourth Massa-
chuSetts Regiment Col Packard, and three
companies of the 7th Steuben Guard, n. Y. S.
NJ, with two field pieces, under Lieut.. Greble,
U. 5. A., started from our camp at 1880 last
night, to act in conjunction with an equal force,
composed of Colonel Duryea's Iuaves and
Colonel Townsend S New York Regiment. The
parties were to meet and make an attack upon
the rebels at Bethel.
1t appears that the column from our camp
was in advance. Upon reaching fork in the
roads, they discovered canteen and other
equipments belonging to the Iouaves, and their
footprints in the road. They supposed that the
party from the fortress in advance. A 12-
FOUNDER was stationed in the fork of the road
to cut off the rebel forces if they should pass
that way, but, sad to relate, the regiment under
Colonel Townsend had not passed, and the par
ty stationed at the post fred into them with
grape and canister, killing and woundng sew
eral-the number has not as yet been ascer-
tained. Parties are now out picking them up
and bringing them into camp. The whole COL
umn then advanced upon Bethel and as we
hear, as | write, very rapid firing they are hav-
ing hard time.
7P. NJ Our boys have returned. Our loss,
as far as we can learn, is one killed and about
twenty wounded, l. e., in our Ohe Vermont) reg
iment. The loss of the whole brigade is about
thirty killed and perhaps fifty wounded. Our
boys are all tired out. When they returned the
men in the camp rushed out to meet them, TAX
ing their guns etc, cheering like thunder Our
BOYS stood fire first rate. The rebel loss must
/ be greater than ours. They had a superi n
force and stood behind entertainments. Our
men rushed up the embankment and shot them
down. Gen. Pierce was in command. and has
great credit for his coolness The privates of
our regiment all praise the courage of our Off
GERS. Ny friend, Lieut.. Greble of the Uuited
States Artillery, had the top of his head shot
off while serving his battery. lie was a fine
fellow. | have seen good deal of him since
we came here. Our force retired in good order.
We shall give them another dose soon, proba-
bly,, when hope the subscriber may be count
ed in. Luther Burt was in the fight. The
Fourth Massachusetts Regiment suffered some,
say five killed and twenty wounded.
