Now for another picture. Yesterday (sun-

character at Fort Washington. Gen. sicklos

determined to have great Union war meeting
this week at the Academy Of Music or In Union
Square. It is to take place before Gen, Meagher
goes to Europe and Gen. Slckles returns TO his
command In the field. Both Of those gentle
men are to make speeches. also, John Van Bu-
rem and James T. Brady. The meeting will
probably be one Of the largest ever held in this
city. Each man announced to speak is host
in himself The effect which such a meeting
will produce upon the whole country will be
immense.
Rear Admiral Foute and Gen. Gilmore have
gone to Charleston to supercede Dupont and
Hunter. Dupont will probably be ordered
to Baltimore to complete his attack upon the

Yesterday evening Major General Siekles had
quite an ovation at his beautiful summer resi-
dence on the banks Of the Hudson, about seven
miles out on the Bloomingdale road. The Gen
erals wife and parents were present and shared
the honors of the occasion. Among the dis
tinguished persons present was Mr.. Raymond,
Of the Tunes.
The latest sensation we have had here was
a column and q quarter article in yesterdays
Sunday HercHTs dated Washington, Of
course-announcingt that Major General Butler
had made application to the President. first, to
be placed on the record as the ranking major
general over all regular and volunteer major
and secondly, that he has demanded Of the
President the position Of general-in-chief OF
the army of the United States, in place of Gen.
Halleck, &C., &c, &c.
Now l have the best authority for stating
that Gen. Butler has never done any such
thing. Besides, he would not be General-ln-
. Cb'ot of the Army, under the present organiEa,
tiou Of the War Department, If It were offered
to him tomorrow. Gen. Butler never made
such demand upon his arrival at Washington
from New Orleans, and has not been to Wash
iugton since. He is remaining quietly at hii
magnificent country seat, within the city limit
] Of Lowell, on the banks Of the beautiful Merrl

e when the latter desires his services in the field
d or elsewhere. He is not the man to do an un
n dignifed act to his superiOrs, as the Mereu'I
