WAsuINGroN June G.--Gen Kaue's new
regiment, raised in Washington. will be &C
cepted, and mus tered into service. Other
forces from different States will also be ac-
cepted. a large number of the most infu-
entail men in the country are here urging
the Government to accept 100, 600 addi-
tonal troops.
The President and Cabinet are discussing
the amount to be asked for when Congress
meets. $3.50, 100000 viii probably be the
sum necessary to carry on the war.
1t is rumored that Aqua Creek has been
reinforced, and 5000 rebel troops are now
there.
Orders were read at the evening parade.
t. officers OF regiments on the Virginia side
to prepare rations for four days for march

u "a hours.
4 gentleman who arrived here to-day. d.
rect from New Orleans, says, in regard to
the entire commerce OF the South that it is
in a most wretched and frightful condition
Il e says the States which will suffer most
are Louisiana, Mississippi, aud Texas. He
was IN Galveston on the 10th Of May. If
the blockade be rigidly enforced, the people
of Texas will be starved to death Wht-
he left there, bacon was Is cents per pound,
/ flour SIS 90 per barrel, and in very limited
supply at that. They were then at most
wholly dependent on New Orleans for means
of subsistence. When that source of snp-
ply is cut off, they will be in an awful con-
diton.
/ WASHINGTON, June 6.-The plan of ope-
rations at HarPer's Ferry is being gradual
IL developed. The first move will probably
be to dislodge the rebel forces and their
batteries at the Point of Rocks The force
now at Frederick, some 4 600 strong, viii
attempt their dislodgement. They have
quite number of "A pound cannon, which,
from the Maryland side, can operate most

1t is believed that nearly halt of the peo-
pie in and about Frederick are dsunionists,
and that they are gaining ground, since the
| legislature came together The Union men
are IN fear of Johnston rec, " hose pickets
are thrown out from Point Of Rocks, aud
come within three miles of Frederick, to
which the whole army can be transported
in two or three hours. 1t would be within
FIVE hours of Baltimore.
| The sympaJhies of many in Maryland arr
shown by the fact that they have armed
and fed the rebel troops, Virginia having
furnished but few supplies. If these facts
be true, it is high time that the Govern
ment posted a strong body of troops at Fred
erick. From another SO rec we learn that
300 of a rebel regiment of seven hundred
encamped opposite WilIiamsport, have de
serted.
Gen. johnson is very unpopular in conse-
quence of his forceable seizure of provisions
horses and wagons, increased by con-
scription, and under which three tenths of
the males between Is and 80 years old in
counties within 40 or so miles from Har-
pers Ferry are to be mustered into service.
Gen. Patterson is advancing to cooperate
with Gen. Mcclellan
A column of Gen. McDowelrs command,
will probably advance within 81 hours to-
wards the other side of the Potomac, towards
Manassas Junction.
1t is doubtful whether the Harpers Ferry
/ rebels will have time to Join the forces at
Manassas Junction; if not, they will be sur
rounded; if they do, probably there will be
a brief and decisive battle, preliminary to
/ our OCcup alton OF the place.
