Washington, Sept. 4.
Phillips Lee was adopted Acting Rear Admi-
raj, and assigned to the North Atlantic Blockad-
ing Squadron, in place of Admiral Goldsborough,
relieved at his own request.
Gen. Sigel arrived here to-day, and on his ap-
pearance at the hotel, was warmly welcomed by
his friends.
Gen. Carl Schurz is also here.
1t is publicly denied that Sigel has lost any
guns.
There 10 nothing new from the front to-day.
Our troops arc still occupied in getting into pc.
stion, and have for the greater part resumed
the localities held by them previous to their eav.
ing for the Peninsula. Quite number of field
officers are in the city to-day, including Major
General Pope and Sumner.
There are constant arrivals of troops in regi.
msnts and squads.
There seems to be no doubt that the Maryland
side is nov free from armed rebels. Five rebel
scouts or spies crossed over yesterday at Id.
wards Ferry, and were seen at or near Pooles.
vile.
They did not long continue in that neighbOr.
hood. Such rsconnoissances are believed to be
of frequent occurrence.
A regiment of rebel cavalry was at Edwards
Ferry yesterday, amusing themselves by saluting
our men on this, the Maryland side, with their
field pieces, doing no damage.
1t is ascertained that the enemy's forces we're
last seen at Vienna. and were for the most part
worn out or invalid soldiers gathered there as a
place of refuge. The rebels in the recent en-.
gagements did not fight with their entire forces,
having powerful reserve to be made use Of as
the e1igencies may require.
The most reliable among the conflicting rumors
is that the rebel forces, comprising, at guess,
loo, 900 neu, we're still moving yesterday thro'
Theroughfare Gap, branching off into the val.
ley and stretching upwards towards Harper's
Ferry.
Paroled prisoners say the rebel soldiers ex-
press their confidence of crossing into Maryland
in heavy force in the course of four days. They
doubtless will make the attempt.
From careful calculations it is believed tina;
the entire number of wounded in the recent bat.
ties will not exceed 1000 killed, 5000 wounded
and 1000 prisoners, principally picked up BY the
enemy while struggling, and who with the ex.
ception of the officers have been paroled.
Cincinnati. Sept. 4.
Our pickets we're driven in, four miles South
Of Covington, this morning. Florence, IL miles

A man arrived here this morBing, having left
Lexington, Ky. two days since, who reports Kir-
by Smith at the head of $4,000 troops. to be
joined by 1000 more marching on Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati contrabands are in the Coving-
ton trenches, hard at work.
gentleman who left Huntsville, Ala. on last
Friday, and arrived i. this city yesterday reports
that the rebels crossed the Tennessee Oh
Wednesday, and attacked portion OF General
Buel's forces. They we're repulsed, and the
Fedevals took Z 900 prisoners. On Friday there
vas an attack on Huntsville, where they were
also repused ~ith q loss OF 1000 prisoners
Our informant is reported to be reliable; but
the telegraph from Nashville having reported
nothing of the kind, We are not quite prepared
TO believe the statement.
Washington, Sept 5.
The following is gathered from Newspapers
and private sources: 1t 10 believed that the reb.
els have crossed IN some force this side of Point
Of Rocks, and subsequently,, for the most part,
into Virginia, as though hesitsting to
make the experiment Of making Judgement in
Maryland.
New York, Sept. 6.
Senator Jim Lane is in the city.
The World correspondent says: I've are
credibly informed and believe that on Thursday
Secretary Stanton banded in his resignation of
the portfolio of the Secretay Of War; His res
ienation was promptly accepted by the President
and Gen. HaIleck was asked to take the Secre-
taryship in his stead. General Halleck accepted.
Philadelphia, Sept. 6.

relieved of his command at his own request, in
order to bring charges against Fitz John Porter
