The same 'masterly inactivity' is still the order of the day. Beauregard is strenuously preparing himself for an attack by McClellan. McClellan keeps thousands of men building fortifications to resist an attack by Beauregard. Yesterday from the dome of the Capitol of the United States, with the aid of a
telescope, I distinctly saw the rebel flag waving on Munson's Hill, six miles away. I could see a company of rebel soldiers also. This is a sorry spectacle.
