" P WASHINGTON, aug. 10.
Tribune's Dispatch:
Gen. Rosecrans is authorised to accent
regiments from Western Virginia which
he does as fast as they are ready for ser
vice.
Gen. Sumner was ordered to-day to raise
without delay column Of 5000 or 10000
Oalifornians, and march them into Texas
and Arkansas. The dispatch went by tel
egraph 70 Fort Kearney, and thence by
Pony Express. Another order will soon
be sent to Californis for q regiment of
cavalry.
An order has gone to Europe for 10000
more arms.
1t is rumored that rebel force is moving
from Moorefeld to Great Savage Mountain
Pass, to reinforce Gen. Wise. The troops
which hold the pass are ready for them.
The Tribune says the Southern pirates
are playing desperate and bloody game.
Our North Carolina correspondent this
morning gives the statement of British
sailor named Ross, who had been impressed
TO serve as gunner on board the Speed,
by which it appears that on the 3ist of
July, near Nag's Head, the pirates attacked
and took possession of British vessel,
which they burned, after destroying the
entire crew. Ross having refused to fight
against his cOuntrymen, was shot at and
wounded by the Captain Of the Speed, and
afterwards confined in irons. He escaped
By the aid Of fellow sailor, who had also
been impressed.
Ross is endeavOring to make his way
north, and wishes to lay the subject before
the proper British officials.
Heralds dispatch: q Do .r r..e.

ized to raise division of 5000 men
in Massachusetts, and is 10 be granted a
leave of absence to superintend in person
the organization Of the division. Gen.
Butler viii have full power to thoroughly
appoint the new division, providing it does
not cost more in Massachusetts than it

The efforts of the rebels to gather Mary
land into the secession fold have not been
abandoned.
1t was noticed some-Reaks ago that
considerable rebel force had been concen-
trsted in the upper part of Accomac coun-
ty, on the eastern shore of Virginia. Il
appears that there are about 1900 or 1000
armed rebels there.
Gen. Tilghmsn, who was deposed from
his militia rank last spring by Gov Hicks,
and subsequently restored by the State
Legislature, is organizing the disunioni5ts
in the lower counties of Maryland
He is about TO proceed to Accomac, to
take command Of the Virginia forces there
and march them up into the middle of the
Eastern shore Of Maryland, as a nucleus
for the formation Of q rebel army there
which shall, if it can do nothing else, con-
troll the elections in the Fall so as to pre-
pare disunion majority in the Legislature
and enable the secessiOnists to pass Sc
cession ordinance, or perhaps to force an
ordinance Of secession that may be passed
by the present Legislature at its adjourned
session.
Worlds dispatch:
The States of Kentucky and Tennessee
have been constituted a separate military
command, to be called the Department O
Cumberland, Brigsdier General Andersen
