From Washington.

The appointment of Quartermaste,
General Meigs is strongly urged by
influential parties as the successor tC
Gen. Fremont to command the West
ern Department, while it is though,
probable that Gen. Halleck will be
sent to Kentucky. The same persons
who wish Gen. Meigs sent to Missouri
are pressing Major BeIger, now in
charge of the depot at Baltimore, az
his successor in the Quartermaster's
Department.
Information received from persons
who have lately been among the reb.
els at Richmond and Manassas, gives
assurance that of late the rebels have
not been kept posted as to the purpos-
es Of the Government, and are at o
great loss to know what Gen. McClel.
Ian intends to do, and at what point
the blow is to be struck that they are
sure will fall upon them soon.
The Committee appointed at the
last session Of Congress, consisting Of
Senators Hale, Grimes and Andrew
Johnson, Of Tenn. to inquire into the
facts connected with the destruction
Of the Norfolk and Pensacola Navy
Yards and Harper's Ferry Arsenal,
have assembled. Commanders McAu.
ley, Panlding and Pcndcrgast, aud
Paymaster Bradford, appeared before
them as witnesses. The committee
determined to make thorough inves.
tigation into those matters, let the
consequences fall where they may.
Gen. Havelock. a brother of the late
Sir Henry Havclock, has arrived, in
Washington to offer his services to
our Government.
The court Of inquiry in the case Of
Colonel Miles has made it's report.
About fifty witnesses were examined.
Their evidence presents extraordina.
rily conflicting testimony. Twenty.
eight swear positively that they saw
Colonel Miles drunk on the day of the
battle Of Bull Run. About twenty
swear just az positively that they saw
him within the hours alleged, and that
he was not drunk. After weighing
the testimony, the court decided that
this court is of the opinion that no cv-
idcnce can now be found sufficient to
convict Col. Miles of drunkenness be-
fore court-martial, and such court
cannot be convened for this trial with
out great Inconvenience to the service,
aud recommend that no further pro-
ceedings be had. The proceedings
were laid before the Major-General
commanding, and approved.
The roads in Virginia are in shock
ing state since the late rains.
The trial Of number of prisoners
under indictment for treason has COM
menccd in Baltimore, before Justices
fancy and Yates. Some curiosity is
as to the course likely to
be pursued by Chief Justice fancy.
