Important from Washington.

We stated, several days ago. that the Gov
ernment was about to issue an authoritative
declaration in relation to the confiscation of
the capital OF residents ia the seeded States
held here in trust, which would greatly mod
lily the action hitherto taken by the District
authorities, and quiet the fears which were
exercising snch a disastrous influence upon
our financial Interests. We were not then
at liberty to be more definite, although we
had good athorlty for our statement; but we
have reason to know that the announcement,
partial as it was, gave great satisfac ton to
all classes in the city, and that in conse-
quence of our publication, large sums which
were in course of transmission to Europe
because of the fears which had been excited
for their safety, were detained for a few days
to await the issue. 1t gives US pleasure to
be able to state, on the highest authority that
the measure has been perfected, and that
Secretary Chase has prepared an Exposition
of the Law, as it relates both to the confisca-
ton OF Southern business, and the prohibit
ton of commercial intercourse with the in
surgents, which will settle the questions that
have been SO unhappily agitated and created
such a feeling of insecurity in financial cir
Giles. We hope to be allowed to print this
document in the issue herewith; but it can
do no harm to state that it gives positive
surances that money on deposit in banks or
elsewhere, in loyal States, will not be dis
turbed unless there is sufficient reason to be-
lieve that it is to be used in aid of
the rebellion. The mere fact that it
belongs to resident of the States declared
to be in state of Instruction is not to be
considered reason for its arrest, and it may
remain on deposit as undisturbed as if it were
owned in this city. This ought to have been
plainly announced at the outset of the move
ment. We have good reason to believe that
it has all along been the view entertained by
the President, by the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and by most if not all of the other MEM
bers of the Cabinet, but it has suited the
plans of interested parties here to act upon
different policy, until many persons supposed
that the Government itself was committed to
the great mistake of confiscating ali property
held here which was owned by any one with
in the limits of the seeded States. The ex-
position of Secretary Chase covers the whole
ground, and is as clear as it is comprehensive.
Hereafter capital from any part of the world
may safely seek an asylum in our city, and
be invested, or left on deposit for future use,
without danger of molestation. The readers
of the Journal Of Commerce, who know how
earnestly we have advocated this course, will
appreciate the sense of satisfaction with which
we announce this result-N 7. Journal Of
Commerce, Sspt. Esd.

In sight, on another occasion. seven were
dropped before the howitzer. A company OF
the enemy's, accommodating and commanded
by mounted officer, came on picket of the
University company. The sentry shot the
mounted officer down, received the yolley OF
the company and retired unhurt. Maj. Law
son, OF the I'd Regiment, having seized a rife
to surprise one of the enemy's scouts, was
himself surprised by another scout who sent
shot through his coat. The major, however,
avenged himself on this interloper by shoot
ing him dead.
On the evening of the 24th, Gen. Lee arri-
we'd with four regiments and two pieces OF
cannon. Late on the 25th Gen. Wise receiv-
ed communication from the Secretary OF
War requiring him to report Immediately in
Richmond. Having ordered Col. Henningsen
to accompany him he left Camp Defiance for
that city the same evening, with Majors DUFF
field and Standard, Captains Parish and
Sneed and Lieut.. Wise of bis staff.
The position at camp Defiance, when Gen.
Wise left, was defended by about $500 men
with IL pieces of cannon (Which, in "a hours
would be reinforced to near 1000 men) COM

They are. Doubtless, impregnable, even by
force OF 20, 600 men. 1t can hardly, how
ever, be anticipated that the enemy, even
though reinforced as ascertained by 5000
men, will venture to attack Gen. Lee with
his present force, after hesitating to attack
Gen. Wise when he had only LOO men. If
Gen. Lee should fall back, it will only be on
account of demonstrations in his rear. Gen.
Floyd was at Meadow Bluff with 1900 men.

From the Army of the Potomac.

| Passengers on Sunday and yesterday
| brought US stirring news from the lines of
| the Potomac, which indicates speedy action
| on the part of our army in that quarter. The
| whole army had been supplied with three
days cooked rations, and evidences of the
greatest activity prevailed throughout all the
| camps. On Sunday our advanced positions
were evacuated, and the whole army with
drawn to aud concentrated around Fairfax
| Courthouse. An advance had been made
by the enemy as far as FalPs Church, our
| forces gradually retiring before them with.
out even skirmisb, and it was hoped that
Gen. Mcclellan, urged on by the Northern
press, was about to accept the guage of bat
tie thrown down to him by our generals. and
come out of his entertainments to attack
them. Large masses of the enemy were re-
ported to be moving on the Potomac, and
the prospect for general action was grow
ing hourly more imminent. Our troops had
been formed in order of battle, and the pro-
liability of fight had caused the utmost en-
thusiasm to prevail throughout our whole
line. general order from headquarters had
been issued directing all civilians and per-
SOUS unconnected with the army to withdraw
Immediately, at least four miles this side of
the junction, which had caused a perfect
stampede OF this class. From other facts in
our possession, which we dc not think pru-
dent to disclose, we are satisfied that the next
few days will bring US intelligence of events
in that section which will be of the most mo-
mentous character.-Lynctburg Republican,

SPECIMEN OF TEXAS CAvALRY.-The n. O.
Bee, of the 30th ult.. noticing the arrival in
that city of Texas Volunteers, thus describes
Cavalry company
'.There was also a cavalry company of 100
men, from Houston, Texas, commanded by
Capt. John S. Walker, which came in by the
Opelousas Railroad. They came all the way
from Houston to Berwick's Bay on ponies.
which were loaned them for the purpose and
were ten days making the trip, the roads be-
ing very wet. The ponies were sent back.
This makes the fifth company of Colonel
Terry's regiment that has arrived here, and
five more are on their way. This company
attracted the general attention of our citizens
on Saturday. They are all athletic. powerful
looking men, and dressed Enthusiastically in
hunting shirts of different materials, with
large boots worn outside, and coming over
the knees, with Mexican spurs attached
Some wore fancy Mexican pants trimmed
down the sides with little round brass but
tons, and silk sashes around their waists
Others had the Confederate flag, worked in
different colored leather to represent it, on
the legs of their boots.
capt. Walker, who is about six feet four
inches in height, and who has served nearly
his whole life on the frontier as Ranger, was
dressed in a buckskin hunting shirt and pants,
which latter fitted close to his well rounded
form, with an immense pair of boots. large
Mexican spurs, real Mexican Sombrer0 or
hat, and wore across his shoulders a beauti-
fully worked Mexican blanket. These men
all wore in their belts pair of Colts pistols
and a huge Bowie knife, with curiously
wrought handles and scabbards. They are
also armed with rifles and double barreled
shot-guns. and will present to the enemy a
most formidable and valiant appearance
They were principally raised in the counties
of Harris, Washington and Montgomery, and
finer borsemen or better shots cannot be
found. They are expected to leave soon for

Unprecedented Freshet.

The raias of Thursday and Friday last
though not very heavy, were unusually
steady and persistent. On Saturday the Hol-
ston became much swollen, and on Sunday
attained its greatest height, being about 25
feet above low water.
We learn that in the French Broad, with
the Chucky and all its other tributaries, the
rise was most sudden and unexpected. Many
mills and bridges must have been washed
away OF materially injured, and most seri-
Gus disaster has been experienced by farmers
working bottom lands-some estimate their
loss as high as one fourth of the corn and the
entire crop of pumpkins. The river was
covered with them for two days.
On the upper Holston and its ehuslon,
Watauga, we hear frightful accounts Of the
damage TO the crops, bridges and roads.
The Oldest inhabitant has no recollection OF
such freshet in September. Indeed, in
mauy localities this has rarely been exceeded
even in the early spring.
1t is fortunate for US that the upland crop
bias been SO exhuberantly prolific Corn will
still be abundant and cheap. The loss falls
principally upon the river farms.-KnoTUiHe

it is unnecessary to speak of his qualifca-

there il not man in Tennessee better quail
fed. and inasmueh as the present incumbent
has held the position for several years, 1
think it but right that he should retire at the
expiration OF his present term. If Mr..
THOMPSON will consent to become candidate
am sure our Legislature could make no
better selection; and as so many of his

sire il, / hope he will at once announce him

The Potomac Line.

On Sunday night dispatch was received
from our lines on the Potomac, by President
Davis, and, ON yesterday morning, be left the
city on the train for Manassas.
The latest accounts from the Potomac
state that our fCrces had retired both from
Munson's and Mason's hills. A portion of
our lines had fallen back on Anandale,
about two miles and a half from Munson's
hill.
Munson's hill had never been fortifi. by
Us. A stove pipe and churn on the hill
side are said to have been the only displays
of a battery ever made, and these with a
view of attracting the attention of Lincoln's
balloonists.
The enemy's force on the Virginia side of
the Potomac had been largely increased, and
a forward movement was thought to be indi-
cated.-Richmond Examiner LIST
