FROM Fort MONROE.

TT. MONROE, Aug. IA.
The military telegraph to Fortress Mon
roe has stopped working, and it is feared
the cable is broken.
From the Richmond Dispatch, Aug. II,
we learn that three gun-boats came up the
York to West Point on Sunday morning
last, and after remaining there little
while, took their departure. At the same
day, the Federals landed force at Corrie's
Farm in King and Queen Co. The object
of these moves is a matter Of consideration,
though it is possible that troops are pass
ing by that route from Mcclellan 3 army to
the Rappahannock.
I All the Federal officers, in number about
lao, taken in the recent battles before
Richmond, including Gems. Mccall, Rey-
nolds and Rankin, are TO be sent down the
river to-day under flag Of truce.

Gen. Butler has done a good thing in as
sessing the wealthy rebels who contributed
to aid the rebellion, for the relief of those
rendered destitute by the war. Thisis not
retaliation, but simple justice, and yet it
viii be fit punishment for the rich traitors.
They will find that treason is not always a
pleasant road to travel. It would be a
good thing if more of our Generals would
adopt the same policy, not only for the re-
lief Of the South, but for the subsistence of
Unionists who have suffered throughout
Tennessee and other Border States.

An ImpOrsau, gaes % Rssnrdins the Old

Regiments.
a telegram has been received from Ad-
jutant General IIilI Of Ohio, that there is
no reason to suppose that recruits to old
regiments cen be retained in service after
other parts Of the regiment have been mus
tered out. Therefore volunteers in the
Seventh, Twenty-ninth, or other old regi-
ments, will be called to serve only for about
q year and half, or theterm of service re-
naming to the old regiment. Now the
Seventh wants men, and it should be filed
up Immediately. It has record Of honor
that will be an undying legacy to every
member Of 1t, and the chance to enter it is
an opportunity not to be lost.
Capt Cross, one Of the veteran Captains
of tho Seventh, publishes this notice:
"The old Seventh has only q year and q
half longer to serve.
aThere is more bounty for the old than
the new regiments.
81 will pay the fare for recruits to come
here to enlist, and give their counties the
benefit Of such recruits.

A curious theatrical advertisement has
recently appeared at Naples, announcing
that, after being closed for the long period
of eighteen hundred years, the Pompeii
Theatre, rebuilt on the ruins Of the ancient
establishment, will be opened, with ''La f.
glia del Regimento." The speculative man

The RIGHT SPIRIT.-0ne hundred and
twenty-four men came in on the IL o'clock

towns of Blacklick and Reynoldsburg to
join the 95th regiment. These men enlist

CUIFEPPER, Va, Aug 10, 1852.
PRo5. PECK, sIR;-Supposing there would
be many enquiries concerning company C.
and the 7th Regiment, will give the
movements Of the regiment after getting
on the field. Wewere put On the left wing
but soon after the firing commenced we
were brought to the centre TO support
batteries. Our position was covered from
the enemy, and although she'll and shot
came fast, they passed harmlessly over our
heads. The batteries that we were sup
porting were compelled 70 change position.
We were then advanced over the rise into
the cornfeld steadily forward in the face
Of their cannon, which was pouring shell
canister and grape into Us. But il was too
high. We halted after getting into low
place. We then laid down. In this po-
sition we staid about one hour, while the
most terrific cannonade was kept up that
our regiment ever heard.
The regiment was again moved forward,
slow but firm; through a cornfeld into a
meadow, in which we halted under gall
ing fire. Dressing our lines we opened
our fire. There we stood without sup
port. There it may be said we died. Co.
G. kept IN good line were cool, collected
and determined. The casualties will
show how determined we were. After re-
eeiving orders TO retire, we did so without
any hurry Retiring behind our reserve,
we formed the old 7th TO cover the retreat,
and they were among the last to leave
Ne were among the last 10 leave. We were
compelled TO withdraw, and the rebels were
IN no hurry TO follow. But they had the

WHOSE FAUITP

When affairs 90 amiss we find fault find
fault generally with others and not ourselves.
Almost every paper we look into has chapter
of blame for somebody Because the war has
not been successful as we expected or desired,
somebody is to blame. There are traitors Or
imbec.les in the Cabinet, or in the army,
mr. the President himself is unequal to
the crisis. And we cannot say that there has
not been ineificiency and laundering, OF treach-
cry somewhere. But where is the fault? No
body seems TO know definitely. Every one has
his theory but the theories are many and dis
cordant One class raves against the abolition
lists, accusing them not only of causing the war;
but charging them with all the disasters we
have met with. Another class is condemning
Congress and the politicians as the chief sim
ners in what has thus far been disastrous in
the conduct of the war.
Others call this general traitor, and that
incompetent, and lay the blame on the leaders
of the army. Our men, they say, are all right,
but the generals are unfit for their duty. Some
call it a war for the benefit of spectators, and
say that through their intrigue it is prolonged d..
And now and then one hints that the President
is not the man of commanding intellect which
the crisis demands. He is slow, it is said,
honest, but behind the time. He does not take
the lead and shape events, but is borne along
on the wave of public opinion. These distrac-
ting and conflicting opinions and counsels, are
unuuestionahly great detriment to our cause.
In this respect, the rebels have the advantage.
They seem at present certainly to be a unit in
counsel and action. They act with energy and
despatch. Their plans are concealed from us
we find them ont only when they are being ex-
ecued Whereas ours appear to be fully known
to them. Now it seems to us that this fault
finding and scolding should be postponed. II
it was of any use it mi h go on If it would
create a Washington for President and place
him at once in the chair, and Napoleon for
the army and give him the command, there
might be some use in it. Bnt this war is to be
conducted by the men we have in office Abra
ham Lincoln is President he has a Cabinet CT
his choice; they have appointed officers to COM
mand the army; in their judgment they are
the best TO be had; the people have furnished
men and money TO put down the rebellion; now
let US be united strengthen the hands ct the
President and his cabinet; encourage and up
hold the officers they have appointed, and with
one heart and one voice cheer on our govern
ment and our army, officers and men, in the
great struggle before them. They are hard at
work amidst toll and suffering; let them know
that we have confidence in their loyalty and
that we can in some measure at least appreci.
ate their labors. "a long pull, a strong pull
and pull altogether" will give US the victory

ticular account of the action of the regiment, of
the condition the men were in, and the trying
circumstances under which they fought
He says, "The allegation is unfounded and
unjust the disgrace unmerited and dishearte-
ming. I assert and upon the assertion stake
my all, that the 18th Vermont Regiment conduct
ed themselves as a Regiment, credtably, as
can and will be proved in court Of inquiry
The regiment is disgroced for no reason in the
world but the malice and envy OF those not
engaged in the fight"
We think from all we can learn of this mat
ter that the regiment has been unjustiy CEN
sured and dishonored, probably through incor-
rect statements made to Gen. Butler, and that
when the affair is fully investigated and the
facts known, justice will be done to our noble
men and their colors restored to them. We are
very unwilling without better evidence to be-
.;eve that the Green Mountain boys would dis
grace themselves or the State. We understand
that Major Holbrook has asked for q court Of
inquiry which we hope will be granted, and will
make all things right.
