ter to General S. Williams, assistant adjutant
general, in this city, stating that he had found
at Arlington House, after fixing his headquar-
tiers at that interesting spot, numerous relics
OF the Father of his Country. Mrs. General
Lee, the late tenant, had Informed General
Mcdowell by letter that these relics had beer
removed; but an old domestic had delivered
to him the keys of the rooms in which the ar
Giles were deposited, and at the same time in.
formed him that the doors of these rooms had
been broken open and several interesting rel

Gen. Mcdowell to address letter to General
Williams, requesting authority to have the ar.
tlcles removed to some safe repository-the
patent office or Smithsonian Institution and
thereupon the latter gentleman addressed a
letter to the secretary of the interior, asking
his advice and concurrence in the matter

the receipt OF the letter, and suggested the

valor and sagacity did so much to establish.

Out Of the 700 rebel prisoners brought
here from the Potomac last Wednesday
over 100 have taken the oath of allegiance
and were discharged. They were North

tains lengthy and spicy editorial censur-
ing JEFF. Davis and his Cabinet for the in
discreet appointment of clerks in all the

cursed Jews and Yankees, and accusing
them of being spies and disloyal to the
Confederacy. 1t recommends their re-

lIeCIe On ia Command.
The New York Times saws:

Inc New oFk Times says
awe do not think the country would re-
gard the restoration of General Mcclellan
to the active command of force destined
for offensive operations with entire salts
faction. He has not vindicated his pre-
eminent fitness for such a position by sue
eess-which is the only test possible for a
General. A commander may have the tai
ents of Napoleon, but unless he wins yicto-
ries he is not the man needed for the place.
The only object of fighting is to conquer.
The only indispensable qualification in a
commanding general, is the ability to whip
the enemy If he does this, be is the man
the country wants. Ifhe fails in doing it,
he is just the man the country does not
want for that work-though for some other
work he may prove to be precisely the man
required. We regard General Mcclellan
as having gone through exactly this ordeal.
He has the finest army the world ever saw,
placed in his hands ffUr q year, for the pur-
pose Of taking RiChmond-and instead of
taking it he has barely saved his army from
destruction. This is not success. He may
have shown great ability; he may have
conducted skillful retreats; he may have
repealed with vigor energetic and fcrmid-
able attacks-but he has not taken Rich
mOnd, and this was precisely what he was
expected and promised to do. There may
have been good reasons for his not doing
it-but the country wants, not reasons but
success and a good general will command
success in one way or another. If one
plan won't do it, he will devise another
If he is interfered with, he will override
the interference. He must conquer cir
cumstanees and cut his own path to victory
as ne goes alongj but he must go"

An Interesting scene in the Capitol Ground.


Correspondence n. Y. Tribune
WAsHIEGToy, SEPT l, 1862.
A very amusing scene occurred few days
since in the Capital Grounds, Washington.
Some two or three weeks ago. while on the
steamer Adelaide, the Fortress Monroe boat,
from Baltimore, became acquainted with
q Mr.. Greaves, an English gentleman, from
Manchester, who was on his way TO the
fortress for the purpose of making visit
to the army Of the Potomac. When the
army evacuated HarrisOn's Landing he
started for Washington, and it was within
half an hour after he arrived there that an
amusing scene occurred, Of which the fol-
lowing is his own version.
He entered the Capitol grounds and
asked an officer whom he met, what that
magnificent structure was used for (mean-
ing the CapitoD "That," answered the
officer, sis the bakery for the United States
army" This singular answer somewhat
took Mr.. Greaves aback, who, remonstrat-
ingat what he considered an Unwarrantable
joke under the circumstances, received for
reply, "That is the only answer you will
get, Sir, and if you don't like it you must
take your own remedy" When the gen.
tleman asked his name, "John Smith, an
swered the officer. Highly ineensed at this
second indignity, Mr. Greaves demanded
his card, producing his own. The officer
now appeared to wish to get rid of the mat
ter, turning on his heel in the direction Of
the Capitol, e1claiming, "PshaP' The
Englishmrn following him up the steps Of
the Capitol. On reaching the top, the Off
Ger turned round and said, "Well, Sir, what
are you following me for What do you
wantT, "Iwant your name, anwered Mr..
Greaves, sand will follow you until learn
what It is" The officer ordered him to
leave the place, but to no purpose. Both
parties appeared to be getting excited,
when, fortunately, at this instant a door
opened, and Captain Darling made his sp-
pearance. Captain Darling" command
ed the officer, ''take this man away
Captain Darling at once advanced and took
charge of Mr. Greaves. Before leave"
said Mr.. Grea7es, az demand that you
shall tell me the name Of that officer.
"That," answered Captain Darling, is

the American Army" The Englishman
wilted.

An Invasion Of pennsylvania.

A Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. Herald writes
a0thers who arrived here to-day from
Baltimore, and who have had opportuni-
ties of intimate association with some of
the leading rebel sympathizera Of that
place, state that it is believed there by
those who profess to know the real purpo-
ses of the rebel leaders, that the pro-
gramme for marching upon Baltimore and
destroying the railroad between that place
and this city has been abandoned, and that
feints only are to be made upon the Po-
tomac between Germantown and Harper s
Ferry, while the main body of the rebel
army is pushed forward rapidly by way Of
Winchester and Martinsburg to Williams
port and HagerstoWn, with the ultimate
intention of striking at Harrisburg, Pa.
They say that il was originally intended
that large body Of rebel cavalry should
cross the Potomac river by swimming and
make dash upon the Washington branch
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in the
vicinity of Savage's Factory, and thus de-
stroy enough of the railroad to intercept
the travel between Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis. They also say it was de-
signed TO blow up the splendid bridge
across the Patapsco at the Relay House,
but that the idea has been abandoned, for
the reason that it would probably invite
an attack upon Baltimore by the Union
forts north and west of the city, and on
Federal Hill, as well as Fort MeHenry,
and thereby destroy the lives and property
Of the friends Of the rebel cause in Balti.

General BneIpe sItunlIon.


The Cincinnati Gazette has advices
which give the following summing up Of
the situation in Tennessee
Northern Alabama had been abandoned,
and q new line of defense formed, the
center resting at Decherd; the right,
twenty-five miles east, at Tracy City, and
the left at McMinnville-alI in a position
to be speedily concentrated. The rebel
right was at Sparta. The center and right
Of our forces were on the Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad, and the left at the
terminus of the Manchester and McMinn-
vile road. Hardee and Bragg were sup
posed to be in front, and there were vari-
ous reports of forward movements on their
part; but upon this point nothing relia-
bic is communicated. The evacuation of
Chattanooga by the rebels and their move
ments northward rendered that place of
Importance to our troops, it making neces-
ssry northward movement on the part
Of Buell., for the protection of Nashville.
General Bragg was supposed to have
force of 10000. In this connection, we
may remark, that the troops now in Ken
tucky, or a portion of them, at least, left
Chattanooga four weeks previous TO the
battle of Richmond This information
was communicated to Federal officers who
were taken prisoners in Kentucky by
Kirby Smith. Bragg knew that he could
safely leave the road TO Knoxville clear
while he had large force with which to
threaten Nashville; and it would seem
that he expects, at least, to be able to keep
Buell. on the defensive. Nashville is rep
resented to be strongly defended. The
moral status Of the soldiers there is not
high, as will be seen by the letter of our
correspondent Free trade in whisky is
not a desirable privilege in a city filed
with soldiers and under martial law.

WASHINGTON, septle, 1852.
It is believed the rebels have crossed in
some force this side of Point Of Rocks, and
subsequently for the most part re-crossed
into Virginia, as though hesitating to make
the experiment of getting lodgment in
Maryland.
The rebels have thrown shells across the
river at our canal boats, SC, which, howev-
er, did no damage.
A man, protesting to have made his es-
cape from the neighborhood of Leesburg
on Wednesday, by swimming the river, ar
rived within our lines to-day. He stated
that Jackson had entered Leesburg with his
troops, and was pushing towards Harper
Ferry, and Longstreet, with a considerable
force, was marching in the same direction
The rebels were well supplied with artil-
lery. Most of the Union people about Win
chester and Leesburg had made their es-
cape into Maryland 0therswere captured
by their secession neighbors, while making
the attempt and thrown into prison. Upon
receipt Of the intelligence that Jackson was
marching towards Leesburg, rebel flags
were displayed by many of the inhabitants
in token of their joy at his coming.
On Tuesday last, Leesburg was occupied
by rebel forces, and the Union people were
for a second time obliged to seek refuge on
this side of the Potomac. Night before last
a party of rebel artillerists came to the
river at Edwards Ferry, with some can
non and fired upon some of our people on
the Maryland side. The rebels announce
their purpose to cross the Upper Potomac
at three points, and TO march into Pennsyl-

yesterday that Ewell had since died.
The order for court Of inquiry into

Acquia Greek was evacuated yesterday.
Fifty-eight cars were burned, and guam

of rebel cavalry appeared mile from the
river and were scattered by shells from

About dusk General Lee rode into Pooles-
vile at the head of four regiments of in
fantry, and guided by a farmer who had
been professedly Union man. Their in
fantry went off to the left toward Freder-
lex. The rebel Generals Robert Lee, Hill,

SUNDAY-1I P. NJ.
The following account has just been re-
ceived from the Upper Potomac, and is be-
lieved to be reliable:
The rebel force in the neighborhood of
Darnestown and Clarksburg, estimated at
5000, and is composed entirely of cavalry.
A body of the enemy, about 1900 strong,
crossed the river last night at Whites
Ferry, and are supposed to be en- route to
Frederick. Our forces hold the bridge
across Seneca Greek, which was not injur-
ed by the rebels on their return from the
recent dash on Darnestown.
It has been ascertained that Jackson
crossed the Potomac opposite the north
mouth of the Monocacy, and passed along
the bank of the stream 10 Frederick.
