MOVEMENT OF THE ARMY OF THE PoTo-
MAc.-The city is filled with rumors about a
movement Of the army of the Potomac. One
is that Franklin has crossed the left wing over
and that the right is crossing We have the
authority of Senators for this report We DO
not believe it.
The report, yesterday that Franklin had
captured 900 prisoners, is probably mistake
also: These statements are not believed py
those at the War Department who ought to
know. We do not mean the Secretary or his
assistants all of whom are too much absorbed
in private matters to-day to be seen
when the army moves, and the War De-
partment is satisfied that it is an advance
against the enemy, or upon Richmond, the
public will be notified. If there is any move
ment at present, it is onl a reconnaissance

4 letter from New York, published in the
Northern papers, says:
ar risks run very high just now. When
ever the Alabama is heard from, there IS a1ush
to insurance Offices. The Mercantile Mutual
Insurance Company, Of Wall street: has done
an extensive business in this way 1t IS known
that it's stock is large-almost irexhaustible-
the assets being near million and a half; and
what is better, it is known that it pays all loss
es without any trouble to the insured. mer-
chant friend, on whose word Lean rely, assures
me that nearly half million has been paid by
this one company within the last three months,
and that about onehalf that amount has gone
to Baltimore merchants The President, Bill
wood v alter, esq, is we'll known to your bus-
ness men, as one whose word IS his bond. The
frauds Of the custom house are yet unexplan-
ed. Our worthy collector wishes US to believe
that some of his clerks made Mistakes and
that's all; that is, they put the cyphers the
wrong side Of the units, tens, &c. vi course
this was very innocent thing, and Mr.. Bar
ney says it won't occur again: How, absurd 1t
would be to complain after this! Mr.. Fowler,
our late postmaster, was a very innocent man,
too, for he allowed his clerks to put tails to
their noughts in a similar manner,
General Butler, the New York Times says,
will be sent South and it is added, (but in a
way not very complimentary to General Banks
that, :the President is fully satisfied Of the
mistaken policy of his removal. Unless soD'e
unexpected cause shall interfere to change this
determination, Gen. Butler will be ordered to
reassume command of the Department of the
South. as soon as arrangements can be made
providing another command for Gen. Banks in
the same section. =
An official dispatch from Admiral D. D.
Porter, shows the late part which the iron
clad gunboats took in the reduction Of the
works at Arkansas Post The action took
place at close quarters, and every gun in the
fort eleven in number-vere dismounted-
The casualties were small in the gunboats, and
though somewhat cut up they were ready for
action in half an hour after the close Of the
fight. The fort was commanded by Colonel
Huntington, formerly Of the United States
