Noon Dispatches.

FoRT MONROE, July 28.-The Odd Fell
lows Hall and four other buildings in
Hampton were yesterday burned by our
troops in apprehension of an immediate at
tack by secessionists.
Our troops were withdrawn last night.
Major Weber now occupies Col Duryea's
former quarters. Part of Hampton bridge
has been destroyed to prevent communiea-
ton with this side of the creek. Hampton
is not yet occupied by the rebels. A flag
of truce came into Newport News this
morning, with a proposition to give our
troops twenty-four hours to leave. In case
the place is not evacuated, they will force
US out. The gun-boat Dale, with twenty
guns, at once went up to Old Point. The
Albatross and Penguin were stationed there,
while the Minnesota and two gun-boats at
Old Point, are ready to assist should New
port News be attacked.

CAPE RACE, July 29.-The Africa, from
Liverpool on the goth, arrived here on Sun
day evening. Her advices are four days
later.
The London Times thinks the Southern
independence will be the issue Of the contest.
English Journals criticize Lincoln's mes
sage. The London Times says it altogether
confirms the impression produced by the first
message, and fears that he has outweighed
all chances of intereine war, and foresees, as
q bystander, the recognition of Southern
independence, after infinite loss and humil-
iation, as the result of the contest.
The London Pilot says: At this date it
is idle to argue on the question of legal
rights. 1t is for the Government to put
down resistance as soon as possible. 1t pre-
diets an obstinate and sanguinary struggle,
and while protesting personal sympathy for
the opponents of slavery, rejoices at Eng
lands strict neutrality.
The Daily News euIogizes the message
and says it sets at rest the question of
compromise and the government is now in
position to secure by its strength the ac-
tive sympathy of foreign powers.

WASHINGTON, July 28.-The Potomac
river below Washington can not be crossed
by the rebels, as Secretary Welles has or
dered powerful naval force to guard the
river.
Above Washington, Harper's Ferry is
equally secured by Union forces that line
the banks. The story that Gen. Lee intends
to cross the Potomac between this point and
Harper's Ferry cannot be true, as Lee has
no desire to be sanGwiched between McClel-
Ian and Banks. There will be an entire
reorganization of the whole army by plac-
ing each Lewiston upon most satisfactory
basis About midnight Last night there
was collision between our pickets and the
rebels in the vicinity of the chain bridge
1t was believed that Beauregard was about
to attempt the execution of his menace to
breakfast in Washington this morning, but
upon re-consideriag parties from Fairfax, all
apprehensions of an immediate attack was
removed.
A reconnaissance was made last night by
a large force of cavalry and infantry, in the
direction of Fairfax. No signs of the enc
my there, or on the route, except few
pickets, which retired at their approach
The rumor that the main body is proceed
ing towards Leesbnrgh, may be possible.
However, they have, by aid of the Railroad
from Manassas, dispatched an overwhelm-
ing body to attack the Union army of the
Shenandoah at Harpers Ferry, and drive it
back across the Potomac.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Capt. Allen, of
Massachusetts, and two other federal SOL
diers have just arrived from Centreville.-
One was q member Of the New York 7ist
regiment, and the other-Orlando Waldorf
of the Wisconsin regiment. They were
prisoners at Sudley Church, but escaped
Capt. Allen says the rebels admitted loss
of 500 killed in the battle of Sunday.
The rebels have 500 of our men prison
ers, but they are well treated. They refused
to bury the bodies of the Zouaves and any
one with red shirt or pants of Zouave cut,
fares badly at their hands

WASHINGTON, July ga special dis
patch says Capt. Tompkins of the United
Suites cavalry, captured 20 rebels back of
Fort Corcoran to-day.
SPECIAL TO POST.
Col. Wood of the Brooklyn Regiment is
a prisoner at Richmond badly wounded in
the leg, but it was thought he would re-
cover. Colonel Slocum had died of his
wounds. The captured United States sur
geons are employed in attending to the
wounded soldiers The enemy claim to
have forty-two federal officers and twelve
medical men among their prisoners.
The bill providing for direct taxation and
a system of improved duties will undoubt-
eddy be amended in Congress. No heavy
land tax will pass on account of the oppo-
sition of the western members. Ample
provision will be made for the punetual
payment of the interest of The national
loan.
Colonel Farnham of the New York Fire
ZOuaves is doing well this morning and his
recovery is confidently expected.
Persons who hove arrived here from the
lines of the rebel army report that General
Beauregard intends to make a movement
upon Washington by way of Leesburg. No
alarm here in consequence of the report.
The most trustworthy accounts that have
been received here from Manassas Junction,
place the whole rebel force that was concen-
trated at that point on Sunday, at from
$4,000 to Co. 600 men, 20, 900 of whom took
part in the last battle.

WASHINGTON, July 28.-Wm. Birch the
owner of the carriage in which Harris and
Magraw went to recover the body of Cam
eron returned late this evening. He was COM
PEELED before being released to take oath
not to reveal what he discovered relative to
the forces and defences of the rebels. He
is consequently chary in his communities
tions. He states that the party was allow
ed to pass up to Manassas whereupon on
presenting their motives to General Beau
regard they were arrested and placed in
confinement for several days. In the
meantime, Messrs. Harris and Magraw were
sent to Richmond as prisoners. Birch
finally, through the influence of prominent
personal friends obtained his release. But
there is no probability of the immediate re-
lease of Magraw who is a Pennsylvania.
Birch was not permitted to examine the
battle field. 1t is supposed Colonel
Cameron's body is unburied on the field or
has been huddled into a trench with the
other bodies that have been thus
buried. Mr.. Birch says the hospitals
are crowded with wounded. He reports our
wounded are we'll cared for That the reb-
ell chiefs had determined not to agree to any
exchange of prisoners. Birch, carriage dri-
ver states that he heard that Coils Wilcox
and Corcoran have been sent to Richmond.
He also states that when he left the juno
ton, early this morning, Gen. Beauregard
was making preparations to re-capture AL
exandria tomorrow or next day. In con-
frmation of this it is reported that General
B. has sent information to prominent seces-
sionists residing in Alexandria.
