From Gen. Banks Column

SANDY Hook, Aug H.-Since regimental Off
GERS stationed below Harper's Ferry have been
restricted from issuing passes TO the Potomac
into Virginia, General Banks headquarters have
been beseiged by crowds of persons anxious TO
90 on various pretexts; but no passes issued
now, except to those who come well endorsed as
thorough going Union men. This Of course
causes great dlsappot ntment in secession circles
but Will doubtless aid the Union cause.
A party OF civilians who visited MARYLAND
Heights on Sunday, discovered, by the aid Of
glasses, an -encampment near SheppardstOwn
The number Of tents indicated the presence Of a
regiment, supposed to be secessionists, but It is
possible they were some of our own force.
Two young men, sons Of well known seces-
slonist who resides on the Virginia side of the
Potomac, few miles above Harpsr's Ferry, were
brought into camp to-day, by the picket Of Col
Biddle's regiment. The father, whose arrest was
intended, managed TO escape. After lengthy
examination, General Banks ordered them to be
retained under guard.
The new asbulances. of which a large number
were lately received, have been distributed among
the several regiments. Some, however, were for
waTded to HagerstOwn today. TO transport the
the sick there to the general hospital Frederick
