A partial revolution been effected in

par.ment in consequence OF the failure Of
the attack on Charleston, and new in

ornaments and iron-clads not only of those
at Port Royal, but those now building
Dshigreen guns are to be removed, and
nm entirely new l3.inch gun, capable of
using - pounds powder at each load is to
be substituted this is to be done before
the attack on Charleston is renewed BY
means of this change, single effective
shots may be relied upon TO breach Fort
Sumter. 1t also may be effectively bonn
barded at much greater distance by the
new guns now in process of construction,
but il is believed several weeks will elapse
before they can be put on a sufficient num-
Der of Monitors to permit the renewal of
m attack on Charleston.
1t is rumored around town that Erics-
son protested against sending his iron
clads into collision for the reduction of
Charleston with no better armament than
that they carried. At least this was the
necessity of change admitted and acted
upon at the Navy Department.

Deserters from Savannah state that Fort
Sumter is preached in many places, and many
of the gunners placed hors du combat AT
one time, Gen. Ripley telegraphed that there
was probability our fleet would force the
distractions. This produced a panic in
Charleston, and many Of the soldiers and civ
ilians runaway from the city beyond the enc
my's shells. During the engagement many
OF the forces were under arms, and watching
the points where they expected the Union
troops to emerge. There is said to have been
10000 rebels on James Island alone, and %

FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC
BELLE PLAIN. Va. Aptil II. 1863

DEAR JOURNAL: The present has been a
week of reviews, or, one prolonged gala
day" in the army, afording series of splen-
did moving panoramic views of the sunny
side" Of war. The variety and extent of the
scenes presented probably surpass in magnid-
cence every thing of the kind before witness
ed upon this ht misphere, comprising reviews
of the cavalry, artillery, infantry and rife
men, and varying in numbers from $4,000 to
$4,000 men and occupying from one to two
hours in marching, by regiments, in review,
past the Commander-in Chief, President Lin
coin, who has been in camp the entire week,
arriving by the way of Aqua Creek and Fall
mouth last Saturday, and leaving last even
ing, Friday, the guest of Gen. Hooker. He
was accompanied by his wife and son.
My pen is entirely inadequate to give your
readers a just description of the thrilling
scenes of the week; so | will leave that for
the reporters and special artists who were on
the ground for that purpose.
have spoken of these reviews as present.
ing the "sunny side of war, but they are not
merely for display-they are beneficial and
necessary to learn the completeness of prepa
ratons for the stern realities of war; and
one is frequently and strongly reminded o.
the SHADY side" by the soiied and riddied
flags which have waved trumphanty over
our brave boys in many hard fought battle
causing the lip to culver, with choking
sensation in the throat, and the tear to start
unbidden, aud making one wish everlasting
destruction upon all rebels, and all such as
sympathize with or apologize for them.
Undoubtedly during this visit of the Presi-
dent to the army, a plan of operations has
been settled upon, the execution OF which
will be Immediately commenced. The ground
is now dry and travelling good. The delay
for the two weeks passed has seemed to be
more Tor the purpose of determining ,oher,
to strike, than from want of preparation. A
large force Of cavalry is ordered to march inn
mediately, with eight days rations, probably
either for the purpose of reconnaissance in
force, or to open the way for general engage
ment. Let the people be hopeful and patient !;
II we have favorable news from Charleston,
this army will move Immediately on its re-
ception; II unfavorable, then they may have
to send reinforcement from here, we guess.
The Vermont First Brigade is being paid
now, which gives the boys fresh courage, aud
general good feeling. CIVILIAN.

Wednesday, April ist. orders came TO be
in readiness to move the next morning at sun
rise, and rumor saws It was to move on to
Occoquan village. On the morning Of April
Cd we we're all packed In order to move. We
struck tents and were of at 8 o'clock We
took the road down the river, andpoing about
eight miles we struck the main road that
leads from Alexandria to Occoquan. Here
we halted. and pitched tents on the land
owned by Widow Violet,-hence the name Of
our camp.
Our camp is situated two miles from Oc-
coqusn village, where we have to do picket
duty--one company a day at the ferry, as tho
village is on the other side of the river and
fifteen miles from Alexandria We have a
very pleasant location, in sight Of the bay
that leads to the Potomac from Occoquan.
Our Regiment is all alone here. The 18th
and 18th are at Wolf Run Shoals the 18th
and 10th at Union Mills. The headquarters
Of the Brigade are at the Shoals. We don't
expect to stay here long, as we are taking the
place Of the cavalry picket, the cavalry
have moved TO Fairfax Court House aud are
brigaded together--eight regiments in all.
To-day is Fast Day in Vermont, and il it
is as good day in Vermont as it is here peo-
pie will enjoy themselves right smart
There is no drill to-day, and the boys are
all out to play ball. Yesterday they got the
Colonel out to play, and he beat the lot -
Nothing of note transpires here, except the
regular routine Of camp life, daily drills, pick
ct and guard duty.
We have had Of late nuisance in camp,
disguised in the form of petition trying to
get us home in May. In the 18th Regiment
there were only 25 names upon it. Compa-
ny had none, therefore Company is not
disgraced. This petition IS certainly dis
grace to us, that we should ever permit such
thing to spring up in our midst. The orig
inator ought to be tared and feathered accord
ing to Southern style.

afternoon, lead by Col Randall in person. |
