FROM WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 27-The enemy s
forces on the Potomac have made another
important movement. A large force is now
concentrating at the mouth of the OceuquaR
river, 20 miles below Alexandria, probably
for the purpose of checking any flank
movement of the federal troops upon their
position at Manassas.
Great activity prevails in the federal and
rebel camps, but whether conflict is at
hand or not it is impossible to determine.

heese are unchanged, and de de-

and cheese are unchanged, and the de-
mand moderate.
Linseed oil is frmer and in moder-
ate demand at 5O(G,5Ic.
There has been a good demand for pro-
+ visions, chiefly bacon sides, and the sales OF
them add up 900 hhds, the price being 52f0
| 53c-the latter an extreme rate however,
as the great bulk of them was obtained at
50 409S5 As. Over 1000 hhds of bacon
went to the East, and where it is needed to
bill army contracts.
Bacon shoulders sold at 4*G745e, and at
34c packed large business e. ID have been
done IN bulk shoulders, but holders asked
4c. Bulk sides were held at sc, buyers
anxious to pay 43c.
Clear Bacon sides were not SO much in
quired for. They were offered at 6&67c.
Mess Pork was neglected the greaterportion
of the week, and until yesterday, when a
dmand arose and about 1000 bills sold at
$I2,623@l3 90, the prevailing rate being
SI2 Is, which was freely offered for first
class brands at the close We did not hear
of any inquiry for Lard. Prime tierce can
be bought at SC and key at 94eM85
butchers has declined to &c, buyers furnish
ing packages.
The grocery market has been very
buoyant and sugar is &c higher, coffee &c
and molasses &c, and at the advance holders
sell reluctantly, under the impression that
still higher prices will be realized. Fair
sugar is now selling at 93c, and good fair |
at 94c. Coffee sells at l540l5&c for fair
to good, and 16@165 for prime to choice,
and cargo of choice Just received by one |
Of our leading houses is held at lie. The |
grade is extra choice. There is quite an
active jobbing demand, and a fair business
doing in the large way.
The groeers are not only doing a large
business, but the profits are very heavy.
The demand for hides and leather con-
lnues active, and prices of all are again
higher.
This advance and active demand are con-
esuent upon the wants of the Government
or army purposes.
Rice is Ic per ID higher, closing at 8@
4c. Wool is DC higher, and in active
emand at 36@40c.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27..-The steamer
Yankee arrived at the Navy Yard to-day,
without being molested by the rebel bate
ries at Freestone Point, which is about %
miles below here. The battery is represent
ed as being g large one with the rebel flag
prominently flying. 1t is thought by Off

there are other forts or batteries between
Freestone Point and Acquia Greek that are
as yet concealed by the trees which are
thick along the shore.

HERALp,s DISPATCH.

! WASHINGTON, Sept. 26th.-The steamer
Delaware arrived at the navy yard this
noon, with body of marines from Phila-
delphia. The Captain reports that the bat
terry at Free Stone Point was unmarked.
When he passed 1t this morning, the woods
having been all cleared away and that it
opened upon him, firing seven shots, none
of which took effect. They were all good
line shots but fell short or went over. Two
Just grazed his deck. Capt Carran saws
about 80 vessels passed the battery up and
down but none were fred at except the
Delaware
From the disclosures of a rebel officer it
is ascertained that the battery at Free Stone
Point is commanded by Fl. ]. Hartstein for
merly commander in the United States
Navy. and that there are batteries on the
Virginia side of the Potomac every two
and half miles from Oecoquan to Matthias
Point.
The river is now considered by naval
officers as effectually closed. Our Potomac
hotilla is insufficient to clear it of the pu-
merous batteries upon its banks. A land
force is indispensably necessary and it is
believed within a few days, perhaps a few
hours the rebels will attempt to cross the
lower Potomac into Maryland. They will
meet warm reception, but it may be neces-
sary to strengthen our forces in that direc-
ton.
WORLDS DISPATCH.
A flag of truce crossed the Potomac at |
Ferry on some trivial subject, but
the sentinel discovered that one man in the |
boat was sounding the river The rebels
were placed under arrest yesterday.
A lieutenant deserted from one of our
on the Upper Potomac and went
over to the rebels giving them it is suppos-
ed full information
TRIBUNE's DISPATCH.
Sherman's expedition to the Southern
coast will sail within three weeks at the
5arthest Fifteen or twenty regiments will
have the privilege of going to Charleston,
IS the principal officers in the command
believe, or to Mobile or New Orleans as
others conjecture.
Gen. Veile's brigade of five regiments
low in camp here, viii form part of the
oIce and will go to Fort Monroe to sail
hence within a few days.
Gen. Sherman will not strike the only
,low on the coast.
