The TrlJune's Washington despatch says :
There are positively no rebel Notifications
on the Potomac, except at Aqua Greek.
At that place there are three batteries of 20
guns, but their design is to protect the ter
minus of the great Southern Railroad, and
not to hinder navigation.
The Tribune says Dr.. Powell, who was at
the battle of Bull Run and one Of the prisoners
captured by the rebels and taken to Rich
mond, states that the rebel wounded amount
ed to 5000 and the killed 10 GOO.
The late rains have swollen the upper Po-
tomac to fifteen feet above a ford4ble depth,
thus rendering all movements 70 either
army across the river impossible.
Advices from Kentucky say that John j..
Crittenden is first private in the Frankfort
Home Guard, and has declared his intention
20 into camp and remain in service until
every rebel is driven from the soil of Ken
lucky.

els growing discouraged.
Many of Buckner's men are without arms

Enlisting is progressing rapidly, the Ken
tuckians are coming up to the war man

NEW YORK. Oct. 14th,

The Herdlds Washington despatch states
that reports from Stones and Banks columns
say the Rebels do not appear to be making
any demonstration on the Virginia side Of
River
It is reported that one OF our men was
killed this morning in a scouting party from
Gen. Smiths command near Flirfax Court
House. One of the rebels was seen to fall
from horse and several others werepicked up
and carried away, bearing the marks of our
sharpshooters.
Intelligence from our Mexican Minister Is
20 the effect that tho Mexican Government
has asked loan from our Government of
from five to ten millions. Mr.. Corwin re-
CARDS it highly important just at this time
that Mexico should have money to pay inter
est on English debts and release her from
her present embarrassment.
The HralFs despatch says our Govern
mout is determined TO stand by Mexico at all
hazards, and protect her against tie en-
croachmcnts Of Foreign Powers. Our Gov
ernment has addressed communications to
England, France and Spain to know what
their intentions are, TO which no response has
yet been received.
Copies of letters from various Indian
Chiefs to the Government Agents have been
received, all breathing loyal sentiments and
a determination to stand by the Government.
Efforts are being made to hold conference
with all the Chiefs as to future policy.
The rebel Agents are very busy among them,
but it is stated that all the Indians who are
in arms against the Government have been
