FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ia.

officers at point 20 miles down the Potomac.

are preparing for active service full regi-
ment is now organized and will soon be
sworn in.
The Baltimore South, the rabid secession

day, has stopped publication.
The Baltimore Exchange, the lea1ing Sc
cession paper in that city, is more violent
than ever. This morning its principal editor
was also arrested. Prominent citizens of
Baltimore who are now in this city, declare
that the effects Of the arrest will be very
salutary. The secession f. yer in Baltimore

such summary proceedings as those which
the Government feel compelled to adopt

An officer Of the army, who is attached TO
the division of the United States troops upon
the Virginia side of the Potomac, near the
Chain Bridge, reports the troops in that sec
ton as full to the brim of enthusiasm and
ardor for the active work of the war, and
especially for the two Generals, Mcclellan
and Fremont The one has endeared him
self to every man in bis division of the grand
army, by his unceaslng atteation to the con-
dition OF each and every man, and his social
familiar intercourse with bis soldiers; tie
proclamation of the other has reused them up
to endure andto fight, as no document Of the
war had done before With mighty and
hearty shouts for Gen. Mcclellan and Fre-
mont they are ready to rush into battle
whenever RRd wherever they may be order
ed. The recent word Of commendation
which Mcclellan gave portion of the troops
who were engaged in the affair of Wednes-
day last, and his assurance that 1--WE shall
have no more Bull Run affairs" has increas-
ed, If possible, their confidence in themselves
and their leaders.

HANNIBAL, Mo-, Sept. IA.
The following appears in The Messenger of
this morning
All we can hear confirms previous reports
that the secessionists have full possession of
st. Joseph, and are doing pretty much as
they please in that city. 1t is reported that
they have taken control of the municipal
affairs of the Corporation, preventing egress
and ingress of both mail and travellers. They
have also levied heavy contributions on sew
eral stores; taking just what they want
The steamer OMAHA has been seized and
appropriated to their purposes, and We learn
that an effort was made to send the mail out
BY hand car, but that it was intercepted |
and taken back hence complete blockade
exists, which accounts for our getting no
mail matter.
The straight out Union men have crossed
the river to Elwood for safety and taken the
ferry boat with them and the Iatan.
At Weston it is said the secessionists per-
nit no enc to 60 into the town or out with
out passes.
From all we can learn, the Union men and
heir property, in st. Joseph and surrounding
country, are completely at the mercy of the |,
-ebels, and demand the immediate interposi-
ion Of the Federal arms to save them from

Of the difficulty of obtaining access to Gen.

that Fremont must be superseded.

Of such complaints:

A dlspatEh u the Cincinnati Gazette from
Id afny ebFfespohdent in Western Virginia,
sissa The following particulars Of the aght Of
Tuesday last In which Floyd was defeated
BY Gen. Roseersns:
UARRIck's S FERRY, Sept. l3
The BATHS of last Tuesday at this place.
was by far the greatest and severest yet fought
in Western Virginia Ex-Seereiary of War;
Flcyd, commanded the rebels In person, and
received a severe wound In the arm, during
the engagement
The rebels had accurate advice Of our ap-
proaeh and exact strength, as appears from
the papers found Ia their camp, and had
made every preparation to resist an attack.
They had six regiments beside their en-.
trenchments, with artillery sweeping all ap-
prosch.
During the whole Engagement, lasting
nearly tour hours, we brought into action
only five regiments, and Of these but parts Of
three were long engaged. The rebels sta
tiored expert rihemen to pick of officers, aud
fred spelter from their cannon-a missile
unknown to civilized warfare Experienced
military men say the roar OF cannonadiRg
and musketry for a time was the heaviest
| they ever heard, but the rebels fred mostly
TOO high with their artl cry. Their squir-
rel rifles did the most execution. Floyd
should be surrounded aud bis retreat to Lew
isburg cut off.
An immense amount Of personal property
was found in the rebel camp, but only some
ffty wagon loads were thought worthy OF
transportation, and this country the whole
amount is hardly worth ten thousand doll
ars.
Fears have been entertain d that Floyd
might make rapid march to Gsuley Bridge,
and concentrate with Wise in an attack on
Cox, but he is now in No condition for q fight
anywhere. He has over five hundred sick,
and strong detachment spent an hour and
twenty minutes carrying of his killed and
wounded, after the fight, past the house
where be had our prisoners confined. Wise
has been skirmishing With Cox, and has uni
formly been beaten off with heavy loss. Cox
is regarded perfectly safe.
Lee attacked Reynolds at Cheat Mountain
Gap yesterday. Reynolds is strongly posted
and believed able to defend himself
Floyd's scOnts are still infesting the noun
talns on the opposite side of Garley, and
guerilla firing is frequent on our messengers
from here TO Sutton.
