WASHINGTON, June ~.
The treaty made through Minister Gown
loaning eleven million dollars to Mexico, has, it
is understood, been sent to the Senate by the
President. The delay in the presentation Of this
treaty has, it is thought, been owing to the re-
luctance Of the President to submit project so
directly at variance with the recent action of the
Seuate upon the subject of Mexican affairs, while
at the same time he has not felt willing to with
hold it from their action, should a disposition
now exist to change our line of policy and take
direct part in the affairs of Mexico, to which
this treaty according to report would commit.

1t is stated that Gen. Benham is under arrest
with orders to report to Washington.
1t is stated that Gen Hunter left James Island
on the 18th iast., leaving Benham in command,
with orders to make no advance toward Charles
ton without reinforcements or further orders.
1t was reported by deserters that the whole
rebel force at Secessionville was but two battal-
ions with six guns mounted and seven more
ready for use.
The reconnaissance was made on the 18th.
Gen. Stevens with 1000 men was to make an
attack at daybreak while Gen. Wright and Col.
Williams with 5000 more were to support him.
Some how the movement was delayed an hour,
and as our troops rushed up the plain field they
were in broad day and were met by murdcrous
fire of grape and canister. Two regiments only
reached the front and they were much cut up.
The Sth Mich. and the 10th N. Y. The 18th
Mass. regiment broke and scattered and the 46th
NJ Y. did little better. The first two drove the
gunners from the guns and some even penetrat-
ed the work, but the other regiments failing TO
support them they had to retire after holding
the battesy 20 minutes. In the meantime, Col.
Williams coming to the support was separated
by a marsh from the fort and exposed to q severe
cross fire from some rebel guns in the woods
His troops, the Sd N. H. and Sd r. l. regiments,
fought nobly and met with considerable loss.
For three -fourths of an hour not gun was
fred from the fort, and the prompt presence Of
a few hundred men would have carried it, but
they were not there and the troops retired.
The above is q dispatch to the New York Ex-
press.
Another account confirms the above in the
main but states that the 2Sth Mass. did well.
II gives our losses at killed "a, wounded 366,
missing 124.
Our camp Is now within range of the gun
boats fire in safe condition.
Entrenchments are being thrown up ahd REIN
forcements awaited. Gen. Brannan's troops,
numbering 20 900, have arrived from Key West

reinforced before operations are resumed.
Rebel troops are constantly arriving and prep
arations for the defence of Charleston are extern
sively making.
Beaufort letter states the loss of the Sd N.
II. was LOG killed and wounded; Mich. sth, 300.
The same letter asserts that Com. Dupont
says he can take Charleston with five gunboats,
and will run by Fort Sumter and the other for
tfcations without the loss of more than two
vessels, and with the others shell the city.
A letter from an officer of the 4Sth N. Y. reg

G0rder relieving Gen. Fremont from command ]
WAR DEPARTMENT, June ~, 1861.
Maj. Gen. John G. Fremont having requested
to be relieved from the command of the first ar
my corps of the Army of Virginia, because as
he says, tho position assigned to him by the ap-
pointment of Maj. Gen. Pope as Commander-in-
Chief of the army of Virginia, is subordinate
and inferior to those heretofore held by him and
to remain in the subordinate command now as
signed would, as he says, largely reduce his rank
and consideration in the service; it is ordered,
that Maj. Gen. John c. Fremont be relieved from
command; that Brig Gen. Rufus King be, and
is hereby assigned to the command os the first
army corps Of the army of Virginia in place of
Gen. Fremont, relieved by order of the Presi-
dent.

Excursion to Camp sigel.

Notwithstanding the rain storm Of Sat
urday last, agreeably TO announcement,
a large delegation of Sabbath School chill
dren and teachers, and citizens generally
from Grand Haven, paid their respects to
the officers and privates Of Camp Sigel,
near Ionia. The joyous throng numbered
about three hundred. The company were
met on their arrival by Major Hunting,
and escorted in fine style to the camp
ground, some distance to the left, where
all were formally dismissed and sought
pleasure in their own way.
About IL o'clock Capt. Harry Albee's
Company, classified &C." were invited to
partake Of sumptuous refreshments, pro-
vided by few kind, noble hearted ladies
Of this village, who were present TO minis
ter, angel like, encouragement and good
cheer as they surrounded the bounteous
table.
The most notable feature of the day,
however, took place about o'clock, i'm
mediately after dinner. A splendid stand
Of colors had been procured by "The
Grand Haven War Committee" full
supply Of elegant yet substantial Testa-
ments, provided by the Sabbath Schools,
together with a large box Of delicacies,
wines, jellies, dried fruits, &C., so essential
to hospital inmates, and an abundance of
soap, towels, housewives, &c, for all, were
formally presented to Company &C." by
Messrs. 7. w. and E. P. Ferry, in very
appropriate and feeling manner, who were
listened to with profound attention. 1t.
E, w. Smith, in behalf of the Company,
briefly and feelingly responded, rendering
their most hearty, appreciable thanks.
Accompanying the ceremonies several
very suitable patriotic and impressive Sc
lections of pieces were sung by the chill
dren and teachers, adding greatly to the
solemnity and interest of the occasion.
Amid the cheers and grateful express
ions of the recipients the scene ended and
the crowd dispersed to view the exciting
and novel movements of the regiment
forming in line for dress parade.
Soon after the shril whistle in the dis
lance announced the time of departure,
and we had barely time to witness the
opening exercises Of presenting the mag
nifcent regimeutal banner, generous
gift of the ladies of Ionia. We are un-
able, of course, to proceed further with
what transpired there.
A few hours later we arrived safe
ly at our quiet village, weary it is true,
but amply compensated.
