the President gives him entire control Of al
military affairs There is no doubt that the wal
will be prosecuted hereafter with vigor and de-
termination. Let the men be forthcoming with
out delay and all viii be well. Gen. Halleck
will have personal consultation with Gen.
Mcclellan.
Tho important question brought up by the
| proclamation of Gov. Curtin, calling for troops
for nine and twelve months, was adjusted to-day
satisfactorily to the State authorities, and mus
tering officers are ordered to muster in for the
period specified by the governor.
/ Col. Scott, the confidential agent Of the Post
! office Department, sent to New Orleans in May,
| returned here last evening Uia Fortress Monroe.
lie says Gen. Butler is Just the man for the place
and that but for the stringent measures adopted
| by him New Orleans could not have been held.
/ ReveTdy johnson will not return probably for
! some weeks yet
] The President proposes to make no change in
the Cabinet, and it IS certain he does not propose
to dispense at this juncture with a cabinet min
/ lster so distinguished as Mr.. Seward.
| Special TO the Tribune
/ Col Norton, of the 2lst Ohio, whose asser-
! tions against Gen. Mitchell have been published
/ far and wide, is not to be found An order for
his arrest was issued to-day from the War De
| partment, but the military governor returned
non est lROeatas. The telegraph is in pursuit Of
| him.

! Fredericksburg, is here under arrest.
1t has been arranged that the Postmaster Cen
eral shall issue stamps on and after August 1st,
to be used as currency until the Secretary of the
/ Treasury cen perfect his arrangements, when he
will buy them at the cost value of m2uufacture
ftom the Post Office Department, and will re-
deem them as provided for by the law. The
| stamps issued by the Postmaster General will
probably differ III no respect from those received
| for postage, except that they viii be without
gluten.

divisions of the rebels have left Richmond grad
Ually during the past fortnight, mostly going
over the Virginia Central railroad, and are now
concentrating near Gordonsville, constituting an
army 10000 strong. Undoubtedly an attempt
making on Maryland or Washington Our
people are still uncertain whether it VIII be
made up the Valley or this way.
Counter raids and attacks are to be instituted
| by US. a force may push for Richmond from
! Fredericksburg.
