GEN. WOO, : ALA 10 WASHINGTON FOR
COMPILATION.
Breyet r.GeEral Wool arrived here to-
day. and r,,., ted ] the Secretary of War.
The bnr.ro,a, direSors Of our affairs in Mis-
souri, greeted his soming as the highest evil
depce that C.u. FrEnont had been superseded,
and would s;,.sdily Be brought here to confront
a court.martnl; buI they are grossly mistaken.
The facts in this wslole case are these: Gen.
Wool was orycred Eere for consultation, and
Gen. Mansfcj4 sent Ito take temporary COM
m,pd at Fortress Monroe, that being mill
tary point OF too much Importance TO be left
even day .hOut 80 experienced commander.
Gen. Wool the morning had an interview with
the President. the Secretary of War, and Gen.
Scott. No now command has been assigned
him. nor has Gen. Mansfield been ordered to
remain permanently at Fortress Monroe.
THE MISSOURI QUESTION.
No Cabinet decision has been arrived at in
the Missouri question, but within tho next 40
hours the Administration will decide either to
supply Gen. Fremont with the re-eniorcements,
arms and money asked for, or supersede him.
If the latter. Gen. Wool will be ordered at
once 70 St. Louis to take command, and in
that case, men, money and arms will be sent
on. 1t is still believed, however, that Gen.
Fremont will not be superseded, unless the
next uews FROM Missouri is of an unsatisfactory
and disastrous character. The story that Gen.
Fremont is under arrest ID entirely false, and
that Of his being contaminated is equally
fiction. There is not now, nor has there been,
any intention Of conyening a court-martial
upon him.
GEN FREMONT AT WORK IN JEFFERSON CITY.
A dispatch received at . o'clock tonight
from st. Louis, states that Gen. Fremont is
working with tremendous energy in Jefferson
CITY: that the sbanks and capitalists Of st.
Louis were in consultation to-day upon the
best method of sustaining him with money,
and closed with the prediction that within a
week he would accomplish splendid success.
EXPEDITION AGAINST REBEL CAVALRY.

hick Church. sixteen miles beyond Alexandria, on

seventh, under Capt. Jay, 75 Kentucky Cavalry
under Woodburn, and 80 Fifth Maine. They went
TO break up nest of $50 Rebel cavalry, who were
Dlundering the Union farmers of the District and
turning them ont of their homes. The rdseals,
apprised Of the expedition, got into their saddles
at dsy-break, just in time TO receive the fire OF
our head files. The wounded fell in numbers, but
were thrown on to their horses and carried of,
or hastily taken into the woods. The church was
used as barrack, the beds on tho floor being yet
warm. There was JOY in Accotink over our 400,
for the Rebels had harried them mereilessly for
weeks. From the Church for many miles west,
north. and south, "A reconnaissance was made
which showed that there were no large bodies of
troops this side OceOquan. The reconnaissance
was pushed about nine miles further into Vir-
ginia in this direction than any made since Bull
Run.

ing to Gen. Mcclellan says, that Lieut.. A. D..

Commissioner of New.York, now General in

House yesterday, reviewing the troops.
BALLOON RECoNNoIssANCEs.

espionage at great nights.
