MASTERS DEPARTMENT-This affair, which
came off at the Willarf' Hall last night, brought
together 8 very pie .5 ut and good looking

good dance under favorable auspices
The supper was furnished by Potentini, and
embraced all the frst.class delicacies spread
on first-class occasions by f1rst-class caterers,
which is all that need be said on that head.

The Intefigeneer deprecates the attack on the
President made by the Committee on the Con-
du Ct of the War.
The Chronicle says of the Connecticut election
s'It is rare that upon a contest like this SO
many superior interests should depend; that, to
the vote of Commonwealth sending but four
members to the Congress of the United States,
the attention of yasf money combinations, and
even of foreign diplomatists, and, of course,
the public enemy, should be turned" and
reads in the result an ample vindcation of the
men who are at the head OF the Government of
the United States.

OUR MILITARY BUDGET

1t would be easy III the present feverish state

columns by sensation rumors il, relation to the
alleged attack upon Charleston, but we should
be doing injustice to our readers thereby, for
the simple truth is, that up to the present writ
ing, q p. n.y. nothing whatever is known here
IN respect TO the reported movements, beyond
the supposition that our forces during the last
part of last week were engaged in getting into
position in the vicinity of Charleston, and that
sometime between the 7th and 18th the real at
tack was likely to be entered upon.
So our readers, unless they wish to be gulied
