the profcted interview with the Presi-
dent in relation to the Lane expedition,
will mol take place to day, aud probably
never Will. Senator Pume'oy had an in.
tslv ~. 9Th hin to day on the subject
way cut of the difficulty. He ess fPss
Gen. lane to have arranged matters with
Gen. Hunter, on his arrival at l.eaven-
worth lie reiterated that while he was
willing hat Gen. Lane should have a
command Of 10000 or $4,000 men, he
had 10 idea Of his outrauking Gen. Hun
ter, or in any way interfering with bis
command. This is evidently the end eff
the Lane expedition.
This evening son Of Chancellor Wal,
lace was arrested at the kirEwood House
in this city, on the charge Of treason
His trunks and papers were seized, but
not yet examined.
The various rumors to the effect that
Secretary Stanton is to assume the active
management of the army, leaving to Gen.
Mcclellan the command Of the army of
! the Potomac, has this foundation only:
A week since the staff OF Gen McClcl
Ian were notified to be in readiness fer a
movemen: across the river. They made
every preparation for so doing. and Ma
,ior II NJ. Green, of their number, went
to New York for the purpose of purchas-
ing certain personal supplies for their
use. 10 consequences of the state of the
roads they huve not yet been ordered
over but they are ready to 20. and when
they -, Gen Mcclellan will turn over
to the temporary charge of Mr. Stanton
the control of the entire army, with the
exception of the army Of the Potomac
1t will be remembered that when Gen.
Scott went to Mexico, he pursued sim.
lar course, thus leaving himself free to
attend to the more important matters in
hand. Mcclellan and Stanton are on the
best Of terms
The better opinion il, that Gen. Nc
Clelan will not resign in consequence Of
tn" change, but will strive in the De
p "a NSn'ncA f 's ba P9I seck in No. on
level with whom the new arrangement
places him 1t is understood that he
consulted with several Of his Generals re.
spcctins the course proper for him to
pursue.
! 1t was reported, aud credited by some
Of our officers, that the rebel troops n,
cause, and took advantage of the oppor
tunity offered by the attack to run ava,
from fight that was distasteful to them
There is no doub: :ha: tie Ere frou
one guuboats was terrific

, that Gen. Lander, with 5000 men, la

! though as numerous, retreated across tn
