Cuaruzs James FavLxner, of Vir- ginia, ex-U.S. Minister to France, reached this elty this morning, and is at Brown’s Hotel. He Jeon his return from Par's, and doubtless comes to settle up with the State Department the affairs of his late mission. His bealth seems to be ex- cellent, and bis toute ensemble betokens bis recent residence under the sky of Paris. Surmises are Bumerous around us as to whether be will be per- mitted to depart for ‘“‘Secessia” shortly. We find ourself unable to answer the question, not know- Ing what may be the policy the Government pro. Poses to towards ex-officers In the public service in his peculiar position. —_+—__—_ Prixcz Napotzon did not return to Washing- ton last evening, as seemed to be generally antici- pated. We think that he proceeded from Fairfax Court House to Manassas Junction. No doubt efforts were there made to induce bim to extend 2is journey to Richmond ; which he could hardly Go, as he was not prepared, on leaving Washing- ton, for such a trip. —+~—__.

Silence having been partiaily restored, be commenced to address the assemblage, Which had by this time been largely increased, when he was interrupted by cheers for the “Union.” for “General Scott,’ and for “Henry Winter Davis,” r= bya crowd of menoceupy- ing : podition in the street to the right of the er. Mr. Breckinridye again attempted to speak, his remarks being deouncjatory of the U.S. Govern- ment, and especially infismmatory in inciting Baltimoreans to resist the U.S authority now in force there. Great confusion followed. aitin: Until the noise had somewhat subsided, be sai ‘was not pleading the cause of the rich and of the powerful, but of the poor and weak.

The President this morning made the following additional appointments of brigadier generals for the volunteer force—all of them but Professor Mitchell being from the list recommended by the | New York Congressional delegation. Viz: Col. Louis Blenker, of U.S. Volunteers. Col. Henry W. Slocum, of U.S. Volunteers. Major James S. Wadsworth, Volunteers, aid to General McDowell Col. John A Peck, ex-Major of the regular army, who distinguished himself in the Mexican war. Jobn H. Martindale, a graduate of West Point. Ormsby M. Mitchell, (Professor of Astronomy,) of Cincinnati—a graduate of West Point and ex- army officer. A NEW INSPECTOR GENERAL. The President to-day appointed Maj. Randolph B. Marcy, Paymaster U. 8. A., to be Inspector General of tbe Army, with the rank of Colonel. While serving in the line, Col. Marcy was an officer of much distinction. MOVEMENTS DOWN THE RIVER. This morning the U S. steamer Freeborn, Lieut Hurld commanding, arrived at the Navy Yard, from below, for coal, supplies, &c., and left again this afternoon. She is now engaged cruis- ing between Fort Washington and Aquia Creek, and running in the little inlets and creeks, over- hauling and destroying boats. All boats of which a satisfactory account {s not given sre summarily destroyed, thereby very much impairing the facil- ities for communication between Maryland and Virginia. Occasionally a shot or shell is tosaed over into Mathias Point and other places where the Confederates are supposed to be, but witbout eliciting any reply. Night before last the George Page (Confederate) attempted to run out of Aquia Creek, but the Ice Boat engaged her, and after a few shots compelled her to beat a hasty retreat. The Ice Boat was not struck, but {t is thought the Page was injured. The latter carries six guns, end it Is said has been painted black. She fre- quently comes down to the mouth of the creek, and after a brief glance at affairs puts back into her den. The Ice Boat and Pocshontas now guard this point, and occastonally drop a shell in the woods by way of test of range. The Pawnee and brig Perry lie off Alexandria, as usual. It ls reported that batteries are being put up at the W bite House ; and on Wednesday night five boats of armed men were seen by a schooner to cross over from the Maryland side, and land at that place. At Fort Washington all is quiet and in good order. Several prizes lie at the wharf, taken by the fleet down the river. To-day, the resignations of Chief Engineer Charles Spencer and Second Engineer Andrew Buranca, of the Freeborn, were accepted, and those positions vacated. We did not learn who are to succeed the resigned officers. The steamer Philadelphia went down this morning. NAVY YARD. Workmen are now employed clear! ng away the rubbish of the building demolished by the late explosion, and preparing for the erection of an- other building. The walls were so shaken that they were pulled down with ease. Many of the brick will answer however {n the construction of the new building, and materials for mortar are already on the spot. For the present the work carried on in the building previous to the explo- sion is done outside, under a canvass protection from the weather. The two men who were so baldly wounded are rapidly recovering, and will soon be able to resume their business. MARCHING UNDER THE ROT SUN Mr. Editor: Please to inform me why it {sa ** mailitary necessity” to march our noble men at mid-day, {ustead of the cool, Invigorating bours of morning and evening—especially wheh their route isupa bill like the one reached by High Street, Georgetown?

MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS. The Third Kegiment of Sickles’ Brigade went over the Eestern Branch yesterday evening. A New Jersey Regiment crossed the Alexandria Aqueduct Into Virginia, yesterday afternoon.- MILITARY ARRESTS Thos. Hitchcock, Jobn F. Gaunt, Wm.Thomas, and William Winkledom—four men captured by Lieut. Greene, of the Second Cavalry, a few days ago, about four miles from the Chain Bridge, in Virginia—were brought to this city yesterday, and last night were committed to the county jail by Justice Donn. They are charged with con- veying information to the rebels. ——~+e-____ Tue Conrepsracy anv THE INDIANS.—The Confederates are at work making treaties with the Indians The Fort Smith Times of the 12th ultimo learns that Captain Pike has concluded treaties with the Choctaws, Chickssaws, Creeks, and Seminoles. All the tribes on the fron‘ier have thus formed an alliance with the Confederate ‘States except the Cherokees. These latter, with Mr. Ross at their head, are for neutrality. A large number of his people are with the ‘South, mostly half-bloods, while the full-bloods are opposed to the South, and still adbere to the old Government. Several of the balf-bloods have been compelled to tee for their lives. The Times entertains no hope of any arrangement being made with Mr. Ross by the Confederate Commissioner. Puetinent Questions —The Maysville (Ky.) Eayle asks the following very suggestive and pertinent questions: Did your ever bear one of these State Rights men, who talks about the expenses of the war, ame the Confederates for bringing the expenses on us? Did you ever bear one of them, when talking of Lincoln’s unconstitutional act’ in calling out troops, say anything about the unconalitutionality of raising an army of Rebels in the South? Did you ever hear on of them say that Jeff. Davis was trampling the Constitution under foot? fa short, did you ever one of them express a -Patriotic thought, except when forced toi A Deserta Suot —The Charleston Courier says: ve: Mr. J. A. Thompson, of the Wasbin, ton Light Infantry Volunteers, relates toa member of the committee from this city a fact which explaina in great part the severe and persistent attack ard concentration by the enemy on the Hampton Legion in the latebattle. A renegade shopkeeper who bad supplied the Legion with milk when in camp near Richmond, went over to the enem: beta becbgeryre ae sencribed full the dress ‘ond uipmen: e on. It is someconsolation xaee that this tant renegade was detected, and was shoton Monday, 20h, by order of Gen. Beauregard. The Charleston Mercury of the 3d says: “We bave been provoked beyond endurance by reading the most complacent and gratulatory com- ments of certain Virginia papers on the charmin, charity and benevolence of certain citizens an. officials of that State towards the Invaders of their soil, plunderers of their estates, destroyers of their homes and firesides, and polluters oftheir women. We demand that every prisoner in Richmond be incarcerated and put in irons. Justice, humanity = civilization ailke cry aloud for “stern retri- on.
