WAsHmofoN, Oct 20.--Informstiou Vas re-
ceived here to-day from the Lower Potomac that
the rebel steamer Page crossed the river with .
large force on Monday from Shipping Point and
entered Chicamoxen river. The rebels didn't
diaembark but a toat containing 20 men left the
steamer and went 70 schooner lying &C anchor
| in the river near BY. The Captain Of the schoo-
ner was questioned % to the strength and posi-.
ton Of our forces, without molssting the vessel
The boat proceeded to the south shore Of the
| river, landed, and would have been bsggsd BY
Col. Tsylor's Sd N. Y. Regiment that was biveu-
acced in the woods near BY, bstfor the acci.
| dental blast Of . bugle. The rebels became
alarmed, took to the boat and "a soon - they
reached the steamer moved outside the Poto-
mac, throwing shells in every direction along
| tn eNaryland shore, without doing any. mischief.
The steamer went over to the Virginia side and
| didn't return during the day.
Yesterday, one Of our steamers opened fire on
the rebel battery below Aqua Greek. The re-
belle returned the ire with considerable energy.
| A large number OF rebels appeared on the ram
parts The steamer, after engaging the battery
for some half an hour, steamed up the river
This engagement was witnessed from the Macy
land shore, and reaches US by messenger from
Gen. hookers division. TIE steamer has not
arrived at the Navy Yard yet II 10 not known
whether she was damaged or not.
There seems to be no inclination on the part
of the rebels to cross, and their movements are
| interpreted as altogether defensive, because
Gen. Hooker would cross and attack them. De
serters from the Rebel CsL0p confirm this state
ment.
4 dispatch received here to-day from Gen.
Kosencrans states that he had advanced some
| FIVE miles in the direction Of the Rebels, and is
preparing to make another forward movement
with view of driving the rebels from that en-
tire section of the country. He had intelligence
that for several days they had been resreatine.
He intends following them as soon 40 necessary
| arrangements could be made,
Especial to Commercial.
WAsHlNeloH, Oct. al.-A petition is in cir.
oula.ion here aud numerously signed, which ap-
peals to the Government to furnish fuel to the
people of Washington
The War Department did not recognize Gen,
Jim Lane of Kansas as having authority over q
Brigade. His commission was issued by q State.
and does not proceed from the President. Gen.
Lane has sen: here fer a corps Of engineers, and
| sappers aud miners, but the Government refuses
| to grant the requistion.
Private advlces lately received from Kentuc-
ny are very encouraging. The rebels are rep.
resented 70 De falling back In rather q hopeless
manner This Is better news than that reported
oy zen. Thomas.
we are ofhclaiiy informed that the great ma
val expedition sailed yishout written orders.
Ihere Y nothing OF interest to communicate
from the Potomac to day.
Weather fine, and the troops are in excellent
spirits.
