the dock at eleven o'clock, on board & small
propeller, and in q few minutes were stand

a right noble vessel she Is. She carries 50
guns, 60 of which are 32-pounders; one large
Armstrong, 100 lbs and two smalIer Arm
strong guns. She is worked by screw and
sail, and can make thirteen knots an hour
easily. Her mission to this port was to take

when she entered the bay, and the captain
saw the large fleet which was lying here, be-
LOGGING to General Burnside, he hardly
knew how to act.
After examining the vessel thoroughly, the
party were entertained with luncheon at
which the wines and ale (hale) of old Eng

THE FUNERAL OF THE LA1R COL. SAMUEL COLT.
From the Hartford (Ct.) Courant, of the
10th inst, we gather the following account
of the funeral cerem oniss of the late Col.
Samuel Colt, of revolver notoriety:
The funeral of Col. Sam Colt took place on
Tuesday afterEo oon, at his late residence On
Wethe hersfleld avenue. The time for the OBJ
seq uies was fixed at three o'clock ; but two
hours before the appointed hour the people
began to gather on the avenue in front OF
the house and ON the grounds about it. At
two O'Clock there was 4 stream OF people
upon both sides Of Main street tending to the
place. Upon no occasion have the people OF
the town come ont in such force as they
came out yesterday to testify their respect
prosperity CT his native city.
At three o'clock there was a dense mass of
men, women and children packed upon the
walks and street in front of the house. At
that time, too, the wOrkmen in the urmory,
marshalled by VIM H. Green, Esq, con-
tractor in the establishment, marched from
the meadows, preceded by the arnory band.
The gate opened, and two by two they filed
into the north wing OF the building, through
one of the parlOrs where the body lay, took
their last LOOK of their late employer. and
passed through the library to the exit on the
southern side OF the building. There were
an hour was consumed in their passage. The
Colt Guard, Company A, Twelfth Regim ent
Connecticut Volunteers, followed, under
command of Capt. Geo. N. Lewis. Then
came the Putnam Phalanx, Captain Gordon,
and few Of the multitude in waiting outside
were admitted.
The body lay in a parlor, encased in a me-
talic coffin and looked very natural. Upon
the case were laid wreaths of camelias and
white roses in evergreens. The services were
conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Washburne, Of
St. Johns Church, assisted by Assistant
Bishop Williams, and the Rev. Messrs. Aber-

ARMY.
The following extract from letter re-
ceived by one of our prominent citizens,
says the New ! ork Post, comes from q res.
ponsible source. and hints at certain move
ments said to be impending:
WASHINGTON, Jan. l2.-My dear Sir: q
- The night of rebellion has passed
and the dawn is about breaking. Before the
present month has gone these things will
surely come to pass: General HaIleck, with
the great hotilla and an army OF one hun
dred thousand strong, will sweep like an
avalanche down the Mississippi where tn ey
will be Joined by General Butler in New
Orleans and Mobile. General Buell., with
nearly or quite the same force, will march
into Tennessee, capture Nashville, and co.
operate with the Union forces in a manner
and direction it would not be polite now to
point out. Generals Rosecrans and Kelly
will advance from Western Virginia, and dc
their share in harmony with the general
plau Generals Banks and Stone will move
In conjunction with the rest from the Upper
Potomac. General Burnside will do his a D
pointed work. General Sherman will ex.
plain by deeds, not words, his inaction
General Mcclellan will force the rats from
their holes at Manassas, attack them 1T three
points at once, and fulfill his modest pledge
tn at the war will be "short but Desperate u
DIFFICULTY BETWEEN dRSERAL BuTLKR AND TIL
GOvEREOR OF MASsACHUSE1TS.
We see It stated that the reason for ordering
on shore the men who had already been
shipped on board the Constitution at Boston
was difference Of opinion between 4overno,
Andrews and General Butler. The Governo,
claimed the right TO control the recruiting
aud organize the regiments; and General
Butler claimed to be independent Of the Gov
ernor, and to be authorized TO recruit the
regiments in what Governor Andrews con.
sidered an " irregular way. There was a
sharp correspondent CO between the parties, thu
Governor refuslng to issue commissions te
the officers, and Butler persisting in recruit
inr in Massachusetts whether the Governo,
liked 1t or not. How the difficulty wss ar
ranged II not known; but the fact that tht
troops went on board the Constitution AGAR
ON Monday indicates that It was somehow
settled. General Butler, 1t is said, hal
promised to make good the State bounty on
Of htssewn pocke., If the Governor refuse
to payit.
