ult., says It was currently reported there Satur-
day that Beauregard had been suspended from
his command of the army of the West. The
cause is not known. II the report Ia true, 1t

dent which he will find IL difficult to allay. We
sincerely trust that there is no foundation for
the report.
There is nothing new from the army of the
Potomac. We are assured by General McClel-

mish ensued, in which two cavalry men were
wounded, not fatally, and the rebels were driven
from the rocks and stone fences.
Geary holds the ground gained.

paratory to q prompt concentration of Gen.
Pope's army.
