WASHINGTON, June 90.
Brig. Gen. King on leaving his command at
fredericksburg, issued an order to his late fol-
lowers, complimenting them. He was the recp-
lent of serenades, etc., and left to take command
over the troops lately under Fremont.
City is full OF exciting rumors of severe fight
ing at Richmond, which are believed, but no re-
liable intelligence has transpired.
The following staff officers will report for duty
in person to Maj. Gen. Pope, in this city: Mai,
John Bufford, Assistant Inspector General, U S.
A.; Maj. X. Jones, Assistant Inspector General,
U. S. A.. Surgeon, Joseph r. Barnes. U. s. A.
The report that Gen. Banks is dissatisfied with
the order placing Gen. Pope in command of the
army of Virginia is not true. Gen. Banks is q
soldier and obeys orders. Long ago he express
ed his willingness to form junction with either
Fremont or Mcdowell, and act in the field sub
ordinate to them if BY so doing it would con-
tribute in the least to crush out the rebellion
The appointment of Gen. Pope to his present
position surprise to Gen Banks
Senator Wilson is still confined to his room
He is very weak and suffers great deal. His
symptoms however, under Surgeon Dorr, ndi-
cate that he will soon resume his seat.
The rumors here about foreign Intervention
are without foundation. Formal communion
tons relating to the Butler affair at New Orleans
or other comparative trifles are readily constru-
ed and magnifed into Intervention. Exactly
the opposite is understood to be the authentic
news from abroad, and it is apparent in all our
foreign intercourse there is an increasing re-
spect for the Government of the United States
The declaration in the House of Commops ~ b;eb
come by the last steamer arc conclusive.
