the Physical competency Of officers, either
from age or casualties, received in the
public service. Among the cases disposed
Of are those Of Majors symingtOn and
Nauman, who, il is ascertained are still ef-
fcient in the discharge Of their respective
duties.
= Archbishop Hughes, accompanied by
Secretary Seward, visited the President
this morning.
Special to the Post
Washington participates in none Of the
excitement which has been caused else
where BY rumors from Virginia.
It's belived here that all is going well,
although the government gives no official
indication Of the state Of affairs in PoPes
army.
It is ascertaiued from apparently good
authority that the rumor Of the resigna-
ton Of Gen Mcclellan is without the least
foundation in fact.
Contrary rumors are flying about in all
direotionsin in relation to this matter.
Recruiting for the 81 regiment District
Of Columbia volunteers is progressing IA
vorably.
The enrolment Of the Maryland militia
is complete.

the speech Of welcome, to which the Gen
eral responded in ntIing terms The pop
uiar greeting was marked with enthusiasm
seldom witnessed anywhere. The crowd
around Gen. Corcoran's carriage was %
great that it was with difficulty dragged
1p Broadway. Along the entire route Of
the procession the jam Of the pOpulace Wai
immense. The military display was tin'
considering the greater part Of our militii
is at the seat Of var.
The charitable societies turned out IL
large numbers, and the Eremen looked
magnificent numbering, perhaps 900
men. As the procession passed the New
England rooms q salute was fired from /
4-pounder on the roof. The ovation con
tinued until the procession reached thl
Generals quarters At the 81. Nicholas, AM

WASHINGTON, August ia long cor
respondence is published between Generals
Halleck of the United States Army, and
Lee of the Confederate Army. The latter
inquiries into the facts of the hanging of
Mumford in New Orleans, and Owens in
Missouri; also, Imprisonment of Cont
rate citizens refusing to take the oath of al
legiance to the United States; also regard
ing Hunters arming slaves against their
masters in South Carolina, and Gen. Phelps
at New Orleans also Gen. Fitch, who is
reported to have murdered two peaceful
citizens, because one of his men invading
the rebel county was killed by an unknown
person while defending bis home. Lee
threatens retaliation, and says be lie author
lied by President Davis to say if the an
swers to the inquiries are not received in
Is days from delivery of the letter, it win
be assumed the alleged facts are true and
sanctioned by. the United States. In such
an event, on that Government will rest the
responsibility of the retaliatory manner
which shall be adopted to put an end 10 the
merciless atrocities which now characterize
the war agains the Confederate States.
Gen. Halleck says tie Government is not
officially informed of the facts regarding
Mumford and Owens; that no one has
been forced to take the oath of allegiance,
but that when parties take and break it,
they will be dealt with as ordered; that no
threats of retaliation will deter this Govern
ment from what is right and according to
rules of modern warfare. Regarding the
last two communications, General Halleck
says to him: " Your language is so iosult-

Tribune has the annexed
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF VIRGINIA,
Camp near Cedar Mountain,
August l3, 1862.

The rebels made no stand at the Rapidan,
but are retreating on Gordonsville by the
Orange Court House road. Gen. Bnford
with cavalry and artillery, and Gen. Milroy
with large force of infantry are pursuing
and have already crossed the river at differ
emit fordable points. The heavy rains OF
Monday and Tuesday have swelled the
stream, and delayed the crossing of detach-
ed bodies of the rebels. A portion of Jack
sons infantry and considerable train OF
wagons are said to be on the north bank,
having arrived by roads parallel to the
other, and finding it impossible to cross IN.
til the river falls, it is believed they will be
captured
The Fortress Monroe correspondent OF
the Tribune says it is believed that the
great body of the army of the Potomac is
about TO withdraw down the Peninsula,
while the remainder re-embsrk on the
transports aud proceed down the river
That this is the plan now in process of ex-
ecution is the current impression, and the
result of the best information is, If sue
cessfully carried out, it will prove great
disappointment and perplexity to the reb-
els, and will give the army of the Potomac
activity and usefulness.
The Times Washington correspondent
says jackson is understood to be making
every arrangement for defending Gordons-
vile as vital point. Some apprehensions
are expressed that the rebel Gen. Stewart,
now with jackson, may make an attempt
to renew his Richmond exploit by making
a cavalry dash around the rear of our army
with view of breaking our lines of COM
munication. The bridge across the Kappa
hammock is the only point supposed to be in
danger from such a movement Measure:
have been taken to foil any attempt of tht
kind.
