Our Army of the Potomac.

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-As TO the rebels
moving on Washington, by way of our en-
trenchments across the river, either ut
Arlin- ton Heights or Alexandria, the idea
is now considered prepusterous, as they
would, in such case, be more eifectuIlly
routed from our detcnces than were our
own forces before theirs, in the late battle
of Bull Run. No one believes that either
Beauregard, Hill or any other of tile con-
federate commanders would commit so
gross blunder.
The present position of our lines across
the river indicates TINT Il forward rather
than rctrograde movement is contempla-
ted by the commander of our army of the
Potomac.
All officers of volunteer regiments will,
according to recent order, be subject to
tan examination by Military Board to be
appointed by the War Department, with
the concurrence of Lieut.. Gen. Scott, as
to their fitness for the positions assigned
them, and officers found incompetent will
be rejected. Besides, the Government, it
is understood, has assured Gen. Mcclellan
of its readiness to accord to him the very
best material in men and munitions and
its cordial cooperation i'll everything that
will render mis- force efficient.
Fred. o. Lander, appointed Brigadier
General by the President, will have COM
mand of the Rhode Island and part of the
Michigan regiments. This appointment,
which will be approved by the people, was
made at the earnest Recommendation of
Gen. Mcclellan, Gov. Sprague and Senator
Garlic. Gen. Lander was previously Of
fercd command of the Rhode Island troops
By Gov. Spraguc.
Ex-Gov. Stevens, of Washington Terri
tory, has accepted the appointment of Col
onel of the 18th New York regiment of
Highlanders.
About six Government Clerks resigned
to-day, owing to the passage of the Yir
ginia ordinance, providing that any citi
zen Of that Commonwealth heldiRg office
under the Government of the United
States after tomorrow shall be forever
bauished from the State and is declared
an alien and an enemy; aud further, any
citizen who may hereafter undertake to
represent the State in the Congress of the
United States, in addition to the penalties
above prescribed, shall be deemed guilty
of treason and his property conGscated to
the use of the State.
Other designations will probably take
place tomorrow. owing to this ordinance.

ES~DEsTEucTIyE FIRE is PITTrBURGH-
Loss Sl5o,ooO.-ou Tuesday evening, the
costly and spacious freight depO. of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, Pittsburg, was des-
troyed by fire, together with large lot of
freight and several buildings adjoining.
The loss is estimated at $3.50, 600. The
Gazette says it never witnessed ANYTHING
to equal this fire, for rapidity of The flames
and the intensity of the heat. The air was
darkeued by dense clouds of smoke, which
were ever and anon illuminated by up-
heaying flames, as the lightning Eliminates
the thunder clond The scene was terri
bly, grand-and faint idea oft may be
obtained from the fact that the depot was
over six hundred feet in length, by one
hund ed and ten feet in length, and that it
contained so large stack of that most in
iiammable material-rock oil. 1t was the
bursting of the barrels of this oil that sent
the brilliant aash,s high in the air, and
rendered the utter destruction Ofthe build
ing SO swift aud certain. No effort was
made to save it, as it was apparent in IL
few moments that no amount of water
could queuch the raging, cracking element
within. In less than fifteen minutes the
editce was mass of blaziug, crumbling
ruins

WAsnrxGTox, July 3I.-The following
order has been promulg"tcd:
HEAD Quarters,
DIVISION OF THE POToMAC,
WAsHlNGroN, July 30:


The General commanding the division
has with much regret observed that large
numbers of officers and men stationed in
the vicinity of Washington, are in the hnb-
it of trequenting the streets and hotels in
this city. This practice is eminently pre-
judicial to good order and military disip-
line, and must Mt once be discontinued
The time and services of all persons con-
nected with this division should be deYO-
ted to their appropriate duties with their
respective commands. 1t is, therefore, di-
rected that hereafter no officer or soldier
be allowed to absent himself from his
camp and visit Washington, except for the
performance of some public duty or for the
transaction of important private business,
for which purpose written permits will be
given by the commanders of brIgades. Tie
permit will state the object of the visit
Brigade commanders will be held RESPONSE
BILE for the strict execution of this order.
Col. Andrew Porter, of the 10th U. S. In
ftntry, is detailed MS Provost Marshal in
Washington, and will he obeyed and re-
spected accordingly. Col. Porter will re-
port in person at these headquarters for in
structions. By order of Maj. Gen. McClel-
