Halleck has not yet received orders but the in
dlcations are that he will be assigned the COM
mand in Missouri. The body of Lieut. Gran, OF
the 10th Massachusetts reg iment, has been re-
covered from the Potomac and sent home
The rebels are in the habit of keeping regi-
ment in ambush near Hunters Mills, miles
beyond Vienna, to capture stragglers &c.
At shutdown 60 or 20 discharges supposed to
be from both artillery and infantry were heard,
apparently extending from townsville, to the
left of Fairfax Court House, distance of four
miles.
Strong accommodating parties were sent out
1t Is thought from the increase of camp fires
that the rebels ale somewhat strengthening
there. The firing was caused by the practice Of
arms.

Gen. Beauregard has been relieved of his COM
mand Of the rebels on the Potomac it seems
we'll founded.
A letter from Richmond states that strong
effort for some days had been made on the part
of the people of South Carolina and Georgia,
to induce JEFF Davis to detail Beauregard TO the
cammand of the Notifications at Bulls Bay or
Fort Royal, in the event that the feet should
attempt landing at either of those points.
1t was reported that the request had been
granted, and that Gen. Beauregard had ten
days ago gone to Charleston to watch the move
ments and operations of the fleet The letter
states that the general belief was that the fleet
was destined to Beaufort and that a pretty large
force had been despatched from the Potomac to
defend that point.
