Mc- Clellan in person their universal and ear nest appreciation of his ability as a gen eral and Soldier, and the value they attach to, aspersions and slurs which have re ceived, a deserved answer in his silent contempt. A serenade by the post band to, himself and lady, was accompanied by the presentation of the officers of the aca• demy, Many of whom had fought and bled under his leadership, a privilege envied by WI all, and one we yet hope for. Later in the evening the whole corps proceeded to the hotel, where a band of amateurs per forme some military airs, including "Benny Havens," with a new verse in his honor. The cheers that greeted this al lusion, and the call for "theree cheers for `Little Mac' on his appearance were en thusiastic beyond description. There seemed to be no end to them, for hardly had one round ceased before it was suc ceeded by another that made the first seem a whisper.. Actual loss of voice and ade sire to hear the general speak at last pro duced a dead silence, which was broken by a few sentiments like those of his dis patches, models of Napoleonic eloquence. At the close of his address the crowd re luctantly dispersed ; but had the pleasure of again seeing him in the Cadetman Hall at dinner the following day. At their re quest he came, and was received by the :corps standing and in silence. On leav ing the hall each member shook hands with him, and many expressed such senti mentp as only warm hearts can give to a true so'dier and modest gentleman. In the evening General McClellan was waited on by a deputation from Butter milk Falls, followed by one from Cold Springs, the members of which broke the usual reverencelfor the Lord's Day by eon tinned cheering. Correspondence of the Baltimore sun. WASHINGTON, April 21. .The War in the 'Southwest—Army Move ments on the Rappahannock —The At tack on Charleston—Contraband Corn • merce through Mexico, etc. - The Navy Department has intelligence that a portion of Admiral Porter's gun b.ciat fleet has passed Vicksburg in safety —thns relieving Farragut and completing ths blockade of the river. Mach_import ance is attached to this movement by the Navy Department. The President and General Halleck had an interview the other day with General Hooker at Acquia. The Northern papers are in error as to their statement of army movements. Those which they relate have not occurred. It is known here, and may be stated as no secret, that Admiral Dupont acted un der no direct order in his attack upon Sumter, etc. Everything was left to his discretlon. The same is the case in re gard to General Hooker and his move ments. It is believed that the commerce which inist4rir'stetes 'and Mexico is extensive and increasing. It affords already, through the town of Matamoras, a great outlet for Southern products, and a means for South ern supply withrovisions, munitions of war, foreign gold, &c. Matamoras appears likely to become, for the remainder of the war, a great depot and entreport of South ern trade. It is noticeable that the Federal government is called upon, in some quar ters, to suppress this trade which is so active upon our borders. It appears that Brownsville is occupied by the Texans, and that no adequate measures have yet been taken to complete the blockade of the Rio Grande. Measures to this end have, however, been taken, as is now re ported. In all modern wars it bas been found difficult, or rather impossible, to suppress commerce by laws or by force. Napoleon failed to carry into effect his continental system. It has been seen, in our existing war, that profitable trade with the enemy is carried on in spite of law and army reg alations. The city appears to have lost mach of its floating and transient population of late, It is dow quite dull. The last tnmhle of gold had no refer ence to military news. Io N, From the N. V. Herald, The Famou,s Order Number Eight. We have come into possession, in a very mysterious manner, of a document pur porting to be a copy of General Burnside's famous Order No. 8, referred to so prom. inently in the report of the Congressional CoMmittee on the Conduct of the War.— There is somethirg exceedingly strange in the whole affair, and nothing stranger in any part of, it than in the mode of our coming into possession of the document. Where did it come from ? Who knows ? It may be that Senator Wade, who is said to be quite a good sort of person in his j social interconroe, has taken this mode of supplying what has been regarded as a hi atus in th 6 history of the war. It may be that. Secretary Stanton, in some of the leisure moments that he permits himself to enjoy, in the intermission of his labors, has thought proper to furnish it to us. Or iituay even be that it has come from some I of the radicals, who wished to see the fa nious order-printed in a good Union news• paper. But, from -whatever quarter it came, here is the document • GENERAL ORDERS—NO. 8. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OP THE POTOMAC, Jan, 23, 18f34. * * First--General Joseph. E.

Our first impulse after reading this fki• ental mandate was to see whether there was anything in the report of the Com mittee or the Conduct of the War tending to lend to it some evidence of authentici ty ; for we could hardly. believe that any of our generals, more especially one with the reputation for modesty of General Burnside, could have penned such an or der. But sure enough, that report we found to furnish evidence not only of the probability, but of the almost absolute certainty that the document is an authen tic one ; for, in reference to the opera tions of the Army of the Rappahannock, the report contains the following - curious statement : General Burnside states that, besides the inclemency of the weather, there was another powerful reason for abandoning the movement—viz : the almost universal feeling amongst his general officers against it. Some of those officers freely gave vent to their feelings in the presence of inferiors. In consequence of this, and also what had taken piece during the battle of Fred ericksburg, &c. General Burnside di rected on order to be issued which he stil ed General Order No H. 7'liat order dis• missed some officers _iron? the service, sub• jeel to the approval of the President, re lieved others from duty with the Army of tho Potomac, and also pronounced sen t. nee of death upon some deserters who ba i been tried and convicted. * The order was duly signed and issued, and only waited publication. * * He (Gen. Burnside) wag informed that the President declined to approve his Order No. 8, but had concluded to relisve him from the command of the Army of the Potomac and appoint Gen. Hooker in his place.

Entering the gate. way, we drove through a noble-looking avenue, planted on each side with trees of every variety, and found ourselves in front of the Carroll mansion, which is a long, comfortable two-story building, terminated at the North end by the chapel, which has become famous as the repository of the re mains of the gallant old signer of the Declaration of Independence. • His tomb is set in the wall on the left altar, and rep resents a shield and scroll of white marble on which is carved, In relief, a pen and roll of parchment, surrounded by thirteen stars : a Lalin inscription, appropriate te.kiAgreAtila- IllfrAffegolde—quies basso rdievo, representing Fame with in verted torch. and History guarding a fu• nein urn.

LETTER FROM THE ARMY Tiow Political Resolutions, 'Endorsing' Old Alkaloid Denouncing Democrats. are Got up nud Pitt Through in the Army. The following is from a reliable source, and entire confidence may be placed in what the writer states: 113lith REQ. Pa. VC,I.V2siTEERS, G I.OIT ESTER POINT, VA., April 18th. Editors Patriot and Union : I have seen in the Abolition papers at the North a great fuss made in regard to the resolutions said to be passed by the different regiments in the field from our State, denouncing the Democratic party as traitorous, giving its members the epithet of "Copperheads" and lauding "Father Abraham" and his co-working Abolitionists to the skies- lam a member of the 169th, and will tell you how they managed to pass those resolutions in our regiment. In the first place the acting Col. Lieut. Col., Major s and a majority.of the Captains are Abolitionists. Well, they as semble together in secret conclave, draw up the resolutions to suit themselves, get all the Abolitionists to sign them first, and then try to scare the Democratic officers by threatening to discharge them from the service without pay, and call all those whe refuse traitors, etc. There are some, how ever, who, notwithstanding all this, have refused to endore them. What will be their fate I know not. Union for the Union. "Most certainly," says the Louisville Journal, "we are not Democrats. We never pretended to be. We are Whigs. But we-now stand on the very same plat form with the Northern Democracy."— The great name of James Guthrie stands at the head of the State Committee who act. for the cause which the Louisville Jour nal advocates. These facts are significant of the state of parties in Kentucky. Most certainly James Guthrie is a true Demo crat, if there ever was one. There is a platform in Kentucky, broad enough to hold loyal men of this stamp, and old Whigs ; and this platform, the Louisville Journal affirms, is that of the Northern Democracy. The facts will admit of a wider application. Death or an Artist Augustus Egg, one of the foremos • among the Royal Academicians of Eng land. died at Algiers on the 26th of March.

Stanley's headquarters shot a rebel spy as he was endeavoring to escape thro' our lines near Franklin, Tenn. The spy was first challenged, and, having twice dis regarded the order to "halt," the sentinel took deliberate aim and killed the unhappy victim at the first shot. He was recognized as an individual who had been lurking around the camp for several days, in the vocation of a songster, reciting patriotic airs for the soldiers, and receiving small sums of money for his trouble. He was detected, arrested, and thrown into prison, when he made hie escape, and was going out of the lines when he was shot. After his death his body was searched by the guards. Inside his boots, and between his feet and stockings, were found skilful Iy-drawn plans of the Federal fortifica tions, the strength of their armament, and correct details of the organization of this army, number of forces, &c.
