A4 ''' BUTLER BEING DISCOVERED. 81 -
Since Gen Grant has assumed supreme
command it has been. discovered that be
does not talk very kindly to- Gen Butler,
andythere wererumors in the city during
the past two days that Butler was under
arrest for some matters in his department.
It's said that General Bsldy Smith discov-
cred, as soon as he was put in command at
Fortress Monroe, that matters had "a very
suspicious look. Butler seems to consider
be has been very i'll used. ~. OH ...
ARMY MOVEMENTS ."o'-.-
r,z The air is filled with rumors touching the
reported movements Of the various armies!l
Of course oil the real news is contraband
but it is no secret that the campaignin Nir-
ginia has opened in dead earnest, and that a
battle may be fought at any time. There
are aumors OF the retreat of our army from
the Rapidan, and of a grand fianking move
ment by Lee by way ofthe Shenandoah val
ley, but nothing in shape that can be def.
natsly stated to you.
....- NO RAMS. arhE
It's understood that resolution will be
offered in congress at an early day, direct
ed to the head of the Navy Department, for
his failure to have rams built to compete
with the rams known to be constructed by
the rebels up the various rivers that fall
into the ocean. 1t is on record here that
minute accounts have been sent from time
to time by the various officers in command
OF the local departments, and by engineers,
detailing the progress Of those rams and
what was to be feared when they sailed
forth from their secret bulldog places; but,
as in the case of the privateers, Mr.. Welles
went to sleep over the Information until
actual damage was done, and now, Of course,
he is in panic and inquiring for Mr. Eric
son. Tits charged by Mr.. Hale and Others
tnaC the uaVai experience Ill VIC WesteiH
waters ought to have taught him the i'm
mense force in rams. This attack, ifpersist-
ed in, will be exceedingly bitter, and may
lead to the displacement of Mr.. Welles.
.,-,T.T THE SURRENDER OF PLYMoUTH
THERE'S good deal of feeling here touch
ing the loss at Plymouth, and it will proba
bly, be made subject of inquiry in Congress.
As the resolution of inquiry, however, will
be sent to the Committee on the Conduct
of the War, the affair is almost certain to be
whtewashed in the interest of the admin
istration. 1t is estimated that there is at
least twenty thousand white soldiers in
North Carolina at the present time, aud it
these will only stay there for another week
it will very materially help General Grants
plans. 1t is no secret that our forces have
been withdrawn from that State to great
extent to reinforce other and more impor
tant armies; and if the blows can be struck
that are in contemplation before the rebels
return from North Carolina; it will be Just
what General Grant requires
