This Mornings Report.
FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, June u

The Times correspondent says:
Accounts from Fairfax Court House state
that three Companies ofSecessionists sudden
ly left there Monday, on hearing of the prob
able advance of our troops upon that town.
The water pipes through the village and
houses have been taken out and cast into
bullets for the rebel army. i
1t is anticipated that Col. WalIace's In
diana ZOuaves will shortly march upon Rom
mey to disperse a detachment of Disunion
trocps in camp there.
Is is learned that the rebels aresentirely
out of leather. Their movements are re-
stricted tor want of shoes, harness for the
ARTILLERY, Sc. There are but few small
tanneries in the South, and if the Govern
ment will only enforce its embargo by land
and sea, the rebels will be greatly embsr-
rassed. They are also short of material
for making percussion caps, although they
have constructed a machine for making
them at Richmond. They are also out Of
chemicals for making decorating powder,
and, therefore, cannot employ shells for
want of fuses.
One OF the shots fred at the Frseborn
from Acquis Greek was a she'll from can
the shell was not charged. Official accounts
received from Fort Monroe report there
we're but fourteen men killed and forty five
wounded, on our side in all at Bethel
Twelve were killed in the fight before the
batteries. There were three batteries
opened on our troops from the left and CEN
ter Of the road to Yorktown, in all about
thirty cannon served, many of them being
rihed. '
Lieut. BItler who was present during the
conflict, thinks that at least 200 rebels
must have been killed and wounded. But
few prisoners we're taken by the Federal
forces. 1t is stated positively tonight that
Gen. Siekles has been ordered by Secretary
Cameron to have his brigade mustered into
service. The President referred the whole
matter to the Secretary, who thus deter
mines it in favor of Mr.. Sickles. eds.
Mr. Harvey will not be recalled from
Portugal, At least not at present. 'i p
Tribune's dispatch: .e,i
Ex-Governor Geary of Kansas, has been
authorized to raise a regiment in Pennsyl-
vsnia of three years men. 1t is certain
that the Indiana troops at Cumberland
were reinforced by regiment of General
Morris command, and will soon march q
miles southward to Ranpey for the purpose
of dispensing rebel force there and that
Gen. MeClelland will, within q week, at
tend to Charleston, Va. 1cE
Fifteen hundred troops are said TO be
stationed there behind entrenchments, on
which six x-pounders are mounted. a
They have in jail two or three members
Of the Wheeling Convention, who were
seized en- route.
An agent Of Gov. Wise was in this city
TO day, and makes the following statement

in Virginia now, and that 100000 will bC
within week. Of these 10000 are at
Harper's Ferry and $4,000 at Mannsssal
Junction. ~, -1'7
Harper's Ferry is surrounded by masked
batteries, and the spy thought it certain tha
any attacking force would suffer as at Grea

thirty-seEen of these batteries, between Har
per's Ferry and Winchester. Gov. Wise ha
not been i'll. He is at his headquarters a
commanding officer Of the Western division
