was understood today that General Mcclellan would
arrive mere tomorrow his way review the army Of
the Upper Potomac but reliable informal ion leads tho
apprehension that future occasion will be selected
that purpose.
On Saturday last scouting party crossed the Potomac

country in the direction Of Leesburg. Reaching an ee-
waited point where few days before rebo oncampment
had been shced by the Second Rhode Island battery
they distinctly three regiments Of infantry drilling
on the Lcesburg fair grounds These regiments they
were informed by negro, were Mississppians while
fourth regiment from that State had mutned and dis
banded.
Information was also derived that there wore other
large bodies Of rebels in that section, and that unless
supplies or salt coffee, &C., shortly received great
distress would cnsue both to the army and families.
Inc scouts saw not living being, except the negro in
inc country they traversed The wheat had been har
vested but the corn fields were drying up.
From the best information obtained your correspon

apparently moving in detail from opposite Washington
towards this section, fully reaches If II does not
ceed the highest estimate given by public writers. Mel
ther Is II impossible that Johnston will endeavor
tho Potomac in the neghborhood of the mouth Of
the honocacy, with the view Of attempting to reach
Frederick TO protect the Legislature while they pass the
ordinance of secession trusting to tho well known
sion sentiment in Baltimore and the lower counties Of
Maryland to raise tho standard Of rebellion and divide
and weaken the Union army. Either this movement OF
an abrupt abandonment Of the whole line Of the Potomac

THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.

The columns commanded by Generals Beauregard and
Joseph Johnston, between Manassas and the vicinity OF
Washington have been temporarily combined and styled
the army Of the Potomac. While General Johnston is
the ranking officer, and could, according to regulation,
assume supreme command Of the entire army yet, with
Difference for the reputation Of his comrade he has waived
the right and leaves General Beauregard in the enjoy
ment of all the authority he had previous TO bis
arrival at Manassas. Therefore General Beauregard is
commander Of the FIRST corps and General Johnston CON-
mander Of the second understanding exists between
both these generals however, that no important move
men shall be made by until after consultation with
the other and while both commands thus united for
concerted purposes each still preserves its distinctive
