LAST NIGHTS REPORT
AN ARMED STEAMER SENT TO
ASPINWALL.
STUARTS MANEUVERS ON
THE POTOMA
The Excitement on the Potomac

The Excitement on the Potomac.
WASHINGTON, Dec 29-Upon applica-
ton of Senator Latham of California,
the Navy Department has ordered the
armed steamer Connecticut to leave
Hampton Roads for Aspinwall on the LIST
of January next, to bring to New York
all the treasure at that place from the
Pacific coast
Senator Latham hopes to obtain from
the Navy Department regular armed
conveys for the mail steamers from As
pinwal The subject is now under con-
sideration
There was great excitement in Alex
andria late yesterday evening, growing
out of the hurried arrival of several of our
cavalry and teamsters, the latter being
mounted on horses cut from their own
wagons.
They represented Stuart's rebel caval-
ry with some light artillery at Poick
Church several miles from Mt. Vernon,
on Sunday and Sunday, and proceeded
to Acotinck, which is only II miles from
Alexandria, and attacked some small
detachments of our troops and captured
baggage train at Occoquon on Satur-
day.
There is difficulty in arriving at the
precise truth, owing to conflicting ru-
mors circulating. But that rebel re-
connoissance has appeared in that neigh
borhood is unquestioned, and that the
rebels created much alarm is equally
certain.
Military men who have seen brief of
fetal kilograms from Dumfries, say it
was the same rebel force which several
miles from that place made reconnois-
sance driving in our cavalry pickets,
killing some Of them.
The rebels fearing capture by our
troops, which one time was probable, left
for Occuoquon and Acotinck where they
made their alarming demonstration.
Due allowance it is plain, must be
made of the statements of frightened
teansters and others, as all such ac-
counts are unavoidably exaggerated.
Consingees of Treasure should imme-
diately send orders to the Secretary of
the Navy, so that the commander of the
Connecticut can obtain the Treasure at
AspinwalL

The movement of troops from here to

prompt and forcible, both of cavalry and
infantry, but Stuart's successes in these
affairs have never been partial.
Since writing this, we hear that Stu
art and comrades were early this morn

they got the whole of the battery at

says the trestle work near Muldrough' s

THIRD DISPATCH.



WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The enemy
cavalry, of course Stuart's, got entirely
around Burnside army yesterday, hav-
ing Dumfries in their possession in the
morning.
Rumor enumerates our loss at from
1000 down 10 %.
The 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry was
roughly handled, and withdrew in con-
siderable haste. Arms were first placed
in the hands of this regiment only one
week ago.
Fifteen wagons loaded regimental
goods, are said certainly to be lost. 1t
is debated whether we lost the whole of a
4-gun battery or only the half of it.
Last night these swift riding maraud-
ers were in possession of Ocquoquon.
The operator at Burgess Station this
evening states the enemy was within
three miles of that place.
