WASHINGTON, July 81.
1t Is not true, as it has been represented
that the Ohio troops objected, on the nigh
previous to the battle, 10 marching under
Gen. Sohenek.i
In the bestoEal Of military honors and
titles, the valuable services Of Col. Stone
are not overlooked, and there is little i
any doubt that be too will be promoted to q
BIigadisr Gsneralship. -
The Hersld's correspondence says:
Information has been received here, that
since the affair at Bulls Run the Rebels
have concentrated an immense army in
Virgins, and have new and aVsilable
force Of 100000 men. e5.75
North Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi,
and Alabama at once agreed to double the
quota already levied on them.
II appears that the Rebel troops do not
intend TO make an attack upon this city.
A Lieutenant Of the regular army, who
was captured and made his escape from
Manassas last Monday, states that from
conversations which he overheard it is not
their intention to advance upon Washing
ton. The question has been discussed, and
Gen. Beauregsrd was opposed to any such
policy. His ides is 10 act on the defensive.
Up TO Monday but few troops had left for
the direction of Washington. A large num-
ber had been thrown forward toward Fair
fax. He is of opinion that they intend to
make a stand at that place, as implements
for entrenchments and Notifications had
been sent out in large quantities. Nearly
all the prisoners, he says, have been sent
to Richmond. There were great many Of
our wounded yet at Manassas.
At the meeting Of the New York delega-
tion yesterday, Mr.. Corning, of Albany
proposed the following resolution:
Resolved, That in the judgment of the
New York Delegation, Gen, Wool should be
called into active service at onoe. Adopted
unanimously. EatE
1t is reported that Hon. Benjamin Wood
has offered to 60 to Richmond to endeavor
to procure the release Of his colleague in
Congress, Mr.. Ely, and Col. CeroOrsn, and
that the President has the matter under ad-
visement.
