The Sixth Army Corps was yesterday reviewed by the President. A stand for the President, the members of the Cabinet, general officers and the foreign legations, was erected on the pavement in front of the Executive Mansion, and another stand was placed on the opposite side of the street for the accommodation of members of Congress and military and naval officers, and directly east of it a third stand was located, for the occupation of sick and disabled soldiers. All of these stands were tastefully decorated. The Sixth Army Corps has participated in all the battles of the Army of the Potomac, from its organization. Maj.-Gen. MEADE, commanding the Army of the Potomac, accompanied by his staff, and Gens. SLOCUM, HUMPHRIES, HUNT and MEIGS, were among the prominent officers at the reviewing stand. Secretary SEWARD witnessed the passage of the finely drilled and war-worn troops from a window of the State Department. The head of the column reached the Treasury Department at about 10 o'clock. Maj.-Gen. H.G. WRIGHT was in the advance, with his staff, followed by his escort. The General's horse was decorated with a beautiful wreath, and his saddle was covered with flowers. Maj.-Gen. BARTLETT rode with the staff, and was followed by the corps flag and escort. The troops comprised in the Sixth Corps are from New-Jersey, Connecticut, New-York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Vermont, Maine, Ohio and Maryland. The troops as they passed were enthusiastically cheered by the thousands of spectators, among whom were not a few soldiers supported by crutches. The veterans of the corps wore green twigs on their caps and flowers were profusely displayed by the officers. The old torn and faded battle-flags were proudly borne in the long line. A detachment of New-York Engineers brought up the rear. The spectacle was as imposing and interesting as the previous reviews, though not so extensive as to numbers.

The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphi Ledger writes: "The complaints from the South with reference to the cotton restrictions are numerous, and an effort will be made to have them removed. Many of the parties, it is said, have realized so little from their product, when intrusted to third parties or military agents, that they prefer the cotton shall rot rather than undergo the task of hauling it within the lines. An instance is related of where the owner only received a net return of $1 per bale for his cotton, the remainder being eaten up in taxes and expenses. In the new regulations 'twenty-five per cent.' is levied at the very outset, and the response thereto will not pay the expense of the agents. An open market, those who profess to know say, will bring out the cotton, let the current price be what it may; while to hedge the traffic about with military restrictions, will only result in the staple being withheld upon the plantations."
