A Washington correspondent of the New
York herald gives the following details Of
the arrest and Imprisonment OF Ex-Minister
Faulkner
"The arrest Of Chas. J. Faulkner, Ex-Min
lister 70 France, for treason, was effected to-
day by detachment OF the Provost Guard
who for that purpose repaired TO his hotel
He was conveyed TO the jail, under orders
from the military authorities through the
War Department. He is not permitted to
hold conversation or correspondence with
sny Of his trends at present As to the sDe-
cifc charges under which be is held, they
are, 90 far as the public is cbncern-d, mere
matters Of speculation; but something has
been Aaid about bis having commission in
the rebel army. A formal examination into
the case will, however, soon take place.
His treason, it is alleged, was chiefly perpe-
trated in France while he was holding com
mission under the United States. He aided
agents Of the rebels sent out to purchase
arms and used his influence with the leading
statesmen OF France TO have the French gov
ernment recognize the reasonable Oligarchy
Of JEFF DAVIS. There is considerable re-
joicing in Washington that the government
has exhibited sufficient nerve TO do good
thing. Shortly after his arrest be remarked
that be was not aware OF having done any
thing to justify these proceedings, and but
for them be would have had his accounts
settled to-day at the State Department which
be had visited the day after his arrival in
Washington on that business, as we'll as 10
,all on Secretary Seward, in accordance with
the courtesy governing Ministers returning
from abroad
SIT is said that a correspondence has been
found among eX-Minister Faulkner's papers,
showing a eollusion between him and GER
tain members Of the present Union govern
ment and that among the things laid down
in the programme was the meeting held in
Baltimore the other evening by Brectinridge
and Vallandigham. learn that the strong
est testimony exists that Mr.. Faulkner was
active, while Minister of the United States
in France, in giving aid and comfort to the
rebels by purchasing arms, and volunteered
to command regiment Of rebel troops on
his return" ....

r-s. SPRlNGFlELD, aug. II,
The correspondent OF the st. Louis Demo-
crat furnishes detailed account of the bat
tie of Wilson's Greek, but all the main facts
concerning the engagement have already
been telegraphed.
The enemy's camp extended along Will
sons Greek about three miles, inelosed by
high ground on each side, upon which the
greater part OF the engagement was fought.
1t does not appear from this account that the
rebels were driven back any great distance,
but their charges were all repulsed and they
burned a large amount of camp equipage
and baggage to prevent its capture by our
troops. The enemy had twenty-one pieces
Of artillery and very large body Of cavalry.
Gen. Siegel attacked the rebels from the
southeast as soon as he heard firing from
Gen. Lyons command, and drove them back
half mile taking possession of their camp,
which extended westward TO the Fayetteville
road. Here terrible FIRE was poured into
his ranks by regiment which be had per-
mitted TO advance within few PAGES OF him,
guppOsing it to be the Iowa lst. His men
scattered considerably, and Col. Solomon's
could not be rallied, consequently Siegel lost
five of his guns, the other being brought
away by Capt FlAgg, who compelled his
prisoners to drag itof the field. ri..-. 4.
Our troops captured about 400 horses.
Our loss is about 200 killed, and from 600
to 700 wounded, while the loss of the enemy
cannot possibly be less than double our own,
their forces having moved in large bodies,
and our artillery playing on them with
terrible effect. -. .-.-,r .
Lieut.. Col Brand, who commanded
rebel force at BoOnville, and has since been
acting as aid to Gen. Price, was taken priS-
oner.
Gen. Lyons body has been embalmed for
conveyance to his friends in Connecticut.
The following are additional names of
officers killed: r-.4r.....
Capt. MarOn, first Iowa regiment; Capt.
Browne, do; Major shaaer, reported, but
lacks confirmation. Wounded, Capt. Colts
chalk, first Iowa; Capt Swift, first Kansas;
Capt. Gilbert, first infantry; Capt. Halton,

WAsHINaFoH, Aug.

ARLINGTON, aug. H.
The Seventy ninth New York Regiment
having become dissatisfied, and being un-
willing 10 90 into the Sickles Brigade, some
four hundred Of them refused to strike
tents this morning. They were Immediate
ly surrounded, and seventy Of the ring
leaders arrested and imprisoned. Gen.
Mcclellan took away the colors, to be re-
turned when to-dsy's conduct she'll be ef-
faced.
His orders were to shoot down every
man refusing to obey the commanding Of
hoer.
An order has been issued from the War
Department establishing camps of rendeE-
yous and instruction at New York, Harris
burg, Pittsburg and Cincinnati. Each vol
unteer is to be mustered as soon as enroll
ed, and sent to the camp Of rendezvous as
soon as mustered in The expense OF
transportation to be borne by Government.
The War Department reserves the right to
attach soldiers or companies 10 othor regi-
ments in case that for which they were en-
rolled be not ready at the time fixed.
Ex-Governor Denver was appointed
BFigadier General to day.
The army of the Potomac is almost en-
tirely brigsded. Each command is kept
so far as possible, distinct from the rest.
Major Van Vleet is doing his utmost to
clothe aud shoe the troops.
The President has not ordered work TO
be recommended on the ExtenSion of the
Capitol. The national revenues will be
better applied. 1
Eleven launches carrying heavy guns,
and designed for use on the Potomac, ar
rived to day from Boston.
Herald's correspondence:
1t is ascertained that Gen. Magruder
left Yorktown few days ago with about
1000 rebels, and went in the direction of
Richmond. It is supposed they were to
join the column Of Beauregard in front Of
Washington.
There are many evidences that the rebels
are concentrating between here and Rich
mOud nearly all the troops they have in
Virgins. This is construed into a prepa-
ration on their part for an attack upon our
lines here.
Times dispatch:
Gen. Carlile, who has just arrived from
Western Virginia, states that the rebel
forces under Lee had crossed the Cheat
river in two bodies-5,000 by the road
from Staunton, and another body by the
road from LeWisburg. They we're within
Is miles of Gen. Roseerans' position, near
Cheat Mountain Pass, which commands the
two Toads.

Reliable private dispatches from Texas,
dated the 23d ult., represent the Union sen.
timent as rather on the Increase.
& The newspapers Of Texas have perverted
the statements msde by Gen. Houston from
time to time, as it is positively known that
he has no sympathy with secessionism. At
last accounts he was in quiet seclusion on
his farm awaiting events.
The designs Of Col Van Dorm and other
leaders for the possession Of the Northern
States Of Mexico and California, depend
for their ful6llment On the cooperation
of the Mexican military Chiefs, but so far
tho secession illibusters have not met with
the sympathy they anticipated from these
sources. ~
