- The w World correspondent thus de-
scribes the planting of the flag;
Speaking of flags, | may have omitted
to mention that the enthusiasm of our
men, at the announcement that our flags
waved from the fort, on the afternoon of
Saturday, when the storming party scaled
the heights, amounted to something near
a frenzy. First we could see the flag
near the top of the hill, then lost sight of
it then again, its bright, streaming folds
rrappeared. In n short time second
further to the right, then third. As the
iidings went back that
"our flag was still there"
the huzzas of our men made the welkin
ring. Some men started up, half ban
daged patients and men with heads bound
bv bood-staned handkerchief,, starred out
10 the foot of the hill 10 see so grand a
spectacle 1t appears that our standard
bearers in Smiths and Wallace's divisions
had nobly crept up to the breastworks and
planted them on the side of the parapet,
and there reclining on the outer side OF
the wall had defended themselves and the
sacred ensign until our troops had driven
the enemy from his position.
"A grand sight was presented when
our victorious forces rushed into the fort
Not only did the whole camp turn out
but the wounded and teamsters, not in
deed always shouldering muskets, but car.
rying them in the ranks, poured into the
fort from three sides in regular order
marching over to the main fort, a brigade
at time stacking arms and after few
minutes survey filing out for the mex,
brigade. The sight from the highest poin,
the fort, commanding view of both
river and camp, was imposing. There
were on one side regiment after regiment
pouring in, their flags floating gaily in the
wind; some of them which been rent and
faded on the fields of Mexico, and other:
with Springfield e-blazoned on theil
folds; our magnificent brass bands pour
ing out the melodies of "Hail Columbia,
I" Star Spangled Banner" Yankee Doc
de-" &c, in such style as the gazing cap
tives had never heard even in the palm,
days of peace. On the other was a spec
tacle which surpasses all description
The narrow Cumberland seemed aliv,
with steamers. First came the gun boats
firing salutes; then came the little blael
tugs, snorting their acclamations and af
ter them the vast fleet Of transports, pour
ing out volumes of black smoke, thei
banners floating gaily in the breeze, firin;
salutes, their decks covered with peopl
sending up deafening shouts in respons
to those from the shore. The scene wa
sublime, impressive, and will not easily b
forgotten.

THE pressure in fayor of aa Immediate
advance of McClcIan's army grows so
strong that it is nearly certain that it will
not tarry long in its present position. Ru-
mors are again current from Washington
of changes in the command of the army,
and possibly iD the Cabinet. The story, as
it flies, is that Hooker is to have command
of the troops on the Upper Potomac. The
indications are that Mcclellan is to be pla-
ced in command at Washington, while
lIalleck goes west. Another version Of the
rumOr is that Gen. Banks goes into tue
field aud Mcclellan takes his place in com
mand of the brtifcations around Wash
ington, under Halleck. There may be no
foundation for these rumors but they clear
ly indicate widespread dissatisfaction with
the inactivity of the army
