OUR MILITARY BUDGET

THE POSITION OF AFFAIRS AT SUFFOLK.
The news from Suffolk, published yesterday
gave us details of the exciting affairs progress
ing near that place up to noon of the 18th, at
which time the Rebels had their artillery in po-
sition on the Petersburg railroad, in frent of
our lines, with large infantry force in reserve,
and other commands were advancing up the
Edanton and SomertOn roads. That published
his morning gives us information up to Tues
day afternoon. On Sunday and Monday the
enemy still occupied their position before our
works and while several skirmishes took place
on the various roads leading to Suffolk, one or
more attacks were made by artillerists. sta
stoned on the banks of the Nansemond river,
upon our gunboats, and in one engagement
between the troops and the vessels, the flag
ship Mount Washington, a fourth-rate steamer
of five hundred tons, Lie t. Dawson, of the
Minnesota, commanding, said to have suf.
tered severely.
At eleven o'clock on Tu sday morning the
threatened attack on our ortlfications was
made. but SO gallantIy WEI. our guns worked,
that in less than an hour ,.,e attacking force
were compelled 10 fall back 1np mile Our cav
airy then advanced beyoI the WORKS but
subsequently, retired, follow ID by the enemy in
two sections, who renewed the fight. Several
houses, at this moment, were set on fire by a
detachment Of the l1th Pennsylvania Cavalry,
and the smoke interfering with their manuyers,
the Rebels were compelled to lessen their fire,
and at one o'clock we were shelling them
out of the woods. From correspondence in
terCepted near Suffolk it ha heen ascertained
that this attack upon Suffolk, and eventually
upon Norfolk, has been long medtated, and
that the force engaged is, in the belief of the
Rebel authorizes, sufficient in strength to ac.
complish the object designed. Their repulse,
thus far, however, does not ausur well for the
trlfllment of this plan.

THE D'UTASsY COURT.MARTIAL

Tha examination OF +. H. Lusk, Chief of the
Paymaster's Division Of the Second Auditors
Odice. was resumed yesterday morning, by
Major Gaines, Judge Advocate. The muster
and pay rolls for November and December,
1861. were presented, an examination of which
showed the names Of the Sc veral privates men,
toned in the charges and ispecIncatiops, Oh
both the band and company rolls.
The Judge Advocate then offered in svi.
dence the account set forth in specification
18th. charge Sd, as false and fraudulent, upon
the back OF which is an affidavit by Colonel
DUtassy, sworn to November 21th, lS6i, that
il was correct and just.
Col. D'Utassy stated to the court the circum-
stances under which he signed the account;
that he was requested by Lieut.. Col. Repetti to
go TO the office OF two collectors, opposite the
War Department, where tied up bundle of
papers was presented him; and he having been
previously informed that the papers and
vouchers were genuine, signed them and the
receipt for the money The following day the
money, less Is per cent. for collection, was
handed to MIR. Gladvin, OF New York, who
said he had advanced it to Lieut. Col. Repetti
He (the prisorer) had never seen the papers
before; he signed them bona fde, trusting to
Lieut.. Col. Repetti and the agent, who said
they were all right, and that he could swear to
them bllndly. The expenses, as he now saw
them. had not been incurred by him, and
though he signed the receipt, he had not re.
ceiyed the money.
Capt. Emil Hollinde, efthe Garibaldi yards,
was next sworn. He testified that several sol.
diers charged in the specifications to have been
induced by D'Utassy to desert had been in the
regiment, but were not in it now; that D. 'Utassy
took two Of them away, and that they did not
return: that Major Charles Wiegand paid Col.
D'Utassy $50 to secure his commission as
Major, and that several members of the band
named in the specifications were placed on the
pay-rolls for September, Octsber, November
and December OF 1861.
