RETURNED HoME.-Six men of the Penn.
sylvauia fourth regiment from Montgomery
county, on Saturday started for home, sick Of
typhoid fever. The disease is said to have
been caused by the want of ventilation in their
quarters, the old Assembly Rooms.
ADMINISTERING THE OATH.-.During the last
day or two, the oath Of allegiance TO the Gov.
ernment has been administered to most Of the
workmeu in the navy yard. We learn that
several Of them refused-amoug them, Frank.
lin jenkins, blacksmith; Valentine Conner,
carpenter and Michael Conner, laborer in the
plumbers department. The oath has not, as
yet been administered to all, bu. will probably
be administered to the balance to-day.
OVER THE RIvER.-There has been no change
in the movements Of the United States troops
within the last day or two, with the exception,
that the twenty-eighth regiment, Colonel Burns,
which was about two miles in advance of the
other troops, had fallen back to the works Of the
sixty y.ninth, Colonel Corcorau.
The general impression is, that the number
of secessionists killed in the engagement at
Fairfax Courthouse, is much larger than report
ed, as numbers of the dead bodies were lying
in the street as late as Monday evening. The
number Of shots fired by the U. 8. troops is
one hundred and forty.6ve.
NAvAL-The vessels at the navy yard last
night, were, the Keystone State, Monticello,
Powhatan, Anacostia, Baltimore, Freeborn
Reso!ute, Philadelphia, and Mt. Vernon-all
steamers ; the last on the marine railway for
repairs. The Pensacola, sloop Of war, launched
at this yard, is rapidly fitting for sea. The
Pocahontas still lies of Alexandria.
There were no arrivals at the yard yester
day, from below.

Row IN THE THIRD WARD.-About three
o'clock yesterday afternoon, young mau

fired at Officer Samuel Taylor, but without
effect. The other officers then came up, and,

German came in, and laid charge against
him Of attempting to strike him with bottle.
