! From VASHiNGTON AND VIOiNITY
Inquiries have been received here by tele-
graph rs 70 alleged disasters to the army of
the Potomac involving the safety Of Wash
lngton and the recapture of Harpers Ferry.
Reports of similar character have prevailed
in Washington during the present week but
they were not considered worthy Of serious
contradiction, having no truth whatever for
their foundations.
Mach Of what is said about the rebels be-
ing reinforced with iron clad vessels from
Europe finds no confirmation at the Navy
Department, which Is not Indifferent to OBJ
tanning facts on that subject.
Gov. Morgan and Collector Barney are
here in relation to the dclcnces Of New York
harbor. 1t is understood that the proper
Departments have acceded TO their request
for adequate and immediate protection and
the requisite orders tor that purpose have al
ready been issued
Mai. Gen Filz John Porter yesterday issu-
ed the foiloving order from the headquarters
Of the 5lh Army Corps, dated Camp near
Warrentou, Va:
BY direction Of the President Of the L. S.,
Mai Gen. Hooker has been assigned to the
command of this corps. Ii has been my
privilege to lead this little band Of regulars
Of the Army Of the United States ia fighting.
1t has been my privilege to lead noble
regiments of volunteers coming from
different States, but becoming equally
national, thoug h they have the same purpose,
the same dangers and the same suffering,
having suffered the same perils in camp,
bivouac and in half a score of bloody fields
10 the officers aud men of both c'asses /
address myself The confidence which, if !
may Judge by your acts, you have reposed in
me- it has been my effort to merit and re-
quite. The personal regard which | am proud
To feel you bear to me is reciprocated by an
arden, affection and deep respect which time
cannot eface.
The personal good fortune of each Of you
will always be a matter of heart felt interest
to me. The professional successes you will
attain, will be doubty gratifying to me mas
much as they will be identified with the sue
cess OF our cause. Among the most crafty
lng Of my thoughts of you, will be the as
,urance that your subordination and loyalty
will remain in the future as in the past, firm
and steady fast to our couatry and its au-
thorites.
Much curiousity is manifesty to ascertain
the purpose OF the interview between Lord
Lyons and Secretary Seward The desire is
At present not likely to be gratided, enough
however is known to warrant the statement
that nothing whatever of an official character
mas been received from England or any other
European power even indicating an intention
of interfering with our political affairs in
connection with the recognition Of Southern
independence

A Washington dispatch states that the ar
rest of two officers of Gen. McClellan's staff
was based on a technical fault They did not, q,
tits to be believed, belong so entirely to b
staff that it was their duty TO follow him TO
Trenton, though that was the duty of two or
three aides more intimately connected with
his person.
A Washington letter to the Commercial
says the army will soon be in motion again,
and as it will be supplied from Alexandra
and Aqua Creek by railroad, so soon as the
line from the latter place to Fredercks burg
is repaired, we may expect a triumphant ad-
vance
A II that is now wanted is a sufficient cav
airy force to patrol the iground, over which
our troops have passed, to capture bands of
guerrillis which commit so many annoying
depredations
