brought one hundred and ten bales of cotton,
and two thousand stand OF arms.
1t is stated that Capt. AlcNa0 tried to Sc
duce his command from their duty before
leaving fort Laramie for Washington.
Gen Mansfield has been assigned to the
command at fortress Monroe, but Gen. Wool
has been assigned 10 no other post. 1t is stat
ed that new military department is estab-
lished in New England, and that Gen b Itler
is placed at its head
The schooner Commerce, from Philadelphia
reports that all is quiet on the river. Not II
man was visible ct Freestone Point, or vicini
ty. There is Il larger number OF vessels on
the Potomac tEan ever before known at this
season of the year.
AT Poto nae Greek, eleven merchant vessels
were fired upon by rebel battery in that vi
cinity, but all the shot tell short. The firing
was apparently merely intended by the rebels
to try the range OF their guns.
A party of rebel cavalry made their appear
ance over Barrett's Hill, one mile up the Lees
burg turnpike beyond Fails Church yesterday,
but fled on the approach Of our troops
Gen James Shields has declined the ap.

madam commission. Jas. Carlisle, Esq, will
at once proceed to take testimony in behalf OF
New Granada, and present it on the first Mon
day in November, to which time the conVen'
ton to-day adjourned.
1t is probable that new military depart
ment will be made in the west, its command
to devolve on Gen Sherman, in order TO relieve
Gen. Anderson OF part of the physical labor
of his present position.

INTERESTING FROM THE UPPER
POTOMAC.

DARNsTowN Ect. 1.-The attack upon our
encampment at Great Falls, Monday morning,
was by six regiments OF rebe infantry, body
of cavalry, and battalion OF artillery,-a IN
transitu from the upper Potomac. They fired
about forty rounds Of shot and shell, dong
considerable damage to houses, hurting slight
ly but one person, exclusive of another who
was hit on the shoulder by rebel picket at
an earlier hour The guns used by the rebels
were seven in number, six and twelve pound
ers, the latter rifled, throwing projectes of
the Sawyer pattern. AT the commencement
of the cannonadng, Lieut. Col. Suiter ana the
adiutant OF the thirty-iourth New York regi-
ment rode to the Falls, ten miles distant
they found the regiment on guard there wide.
ly scattered they having no artillery to re-
spond with union battery subsequently
arrived and threw several shells into the sup
posed position OF the enemy, but obtained no
response About five o'clock the same force
encamped about two miles from the river, OPP
poste the mouth of Muddy Branch, where Il
Massachusetts regiment is stationed. They
remained all night, but did not compliment us
by any demonstration. Early this morning
thew again moved forward. They are probably
destined to Leesburg, or Point OF Rocks. The
river is too high at present to admit OF cross
ing at any OF the fOrds.
The New York thirty fourth regiment still
continues TO guard nine miles of the river line.
To day Gen. Banks reviewed and inspected
three brgades of his division, near this place.
This is supposed by some to be indicative OF
the commencement of fall campaign The
troops were found to be well disciplined, well
clothed, and well equipped Some OF the regi-
ments have not yet been paid, which is at
tribulable to the necessary presence OF the
paymasters in other divisions,
