WASHINGTON, Oct 16.
| The two young men who were arrested
Sunday last for dealing in counterfeit confed-
crate scrip, were released to-day, it having
been ascertalned that they sold the scrip with
| In the rebel lines and not within our own, AMI
| that was not considered crime to warrant

Gen. Spinola, though still suffering from his
wound, reported for duty on Wednesday, de-
string to join the Sd corps, but the military
authorities have declined to send him to the
front, believing he Is not yet physically capa-
BILE for active service. He will, however, be
ordered to New York with authority to re-
cruit an infantry corps.
1t will be recollected that in April last the
President made a contract with certain respon-
sible parties for the deportation of 500 persons
OF color TO an island on the southwest coast Of
Hayti, and for their colonization on satisfactory
conditions. But recently information has
reached here that these colonists were badly
provided for, that many of them had died Of
disease, while others had fed to more desra-
BILE localities. The Government, it is known,
was cautious and studious in making such ar
rangements as would conduce to their benefit.
In pursuance of the policy which entered into
the contract, an agent will Immediately be
dispatched to inquire into all the facts and re-
port upon the present condition of affairs, in
order that the President may direct such rem
edial action as shall be necessary.
The Provost Marshal General has author
lied the statement that the colored troops
raised in Maryland prior to the draft in that
State, will be duly credited on the present
drafr.
One of the most efficient detectives in the
service says he is pretty well satisfied that
there are not less than 200 or 800 guerrilas
this side Of the Rappahannock and south Of
Gen. Meade's army. They are daily and
nightly arresting Union men aud committing
depredations on their property.
Hon. John NJ. Bolts was arrested by rebels
at his house on Monday last, during cavalry
fight near Brandy Station, and has since been
taken to Richmond, where he will doubtless
be imprisoned and held for the return of
Shackleford, Bradford, Freeman and other Sc
cessionists Of Culpepper County, now in the
Old Capitol prison. Mr.. Bolts was paroled
prisoner TO the Confederacy.
The notes for the two years fifty million
loan of Sept. Sth, 1868, will be completed by
the Treasury Department as soon as the banks
which advanced the money decide as to their
denominations, details, &c. The designs of
the notes are selected, and the printing can
be expeditiously carried on.
Mr.. Field, Assistant Secretary Of Treasury,
has sufficiently recovered from his late illness
to resume his official duties.

Observation-Disclosures who have arrived at
this port state that the waters on the shores of
our coast from Cape Cod TO Grand Menan,
are crowded with herring. They are taken in
large quantities by sienes, and our fish pack
ers have been unusually busy, being obliged
to work all night In packing. The fishermen
say there seems to be no end of the fish. 1t
is something unusual to nnd them so plenty at
this season OF the year, or to find them SO long
on our coast They bring more in our market
than No. mackerel.

From the Arm.y of the Potomac.

WASHINGTON, Oct 16.
Last night at about eight o'clock, according
TO the reports of passengers from the army, in
formation came TO Gen. Meade's headquarters
that corps of the rebel army, supposed to be
A. p. Hills corps, had removed from our front
In the direction of Leesburg.
The Star says heavy Reconnaissance was
Immediately started in the direction of Aldie
The accommodating party moved light, without
knapsacks, and the enemy will make little by
their motion should they be undertaking any
surprise game in that direction.
There was more or less skirmishing between
the pickets on either side, and several casual
ties are reported.
Yesterday there was skirmishing all along
the lines of our army, and some firing ON the
Bull Run battle ground, but there was no gen.
eral engagement. Our army last night was In
line of battle. The whole baggage and trans
portation train was sent to the rear, and the
suffers were ordered to Alexandra.
The skirmishing yesterday was principally
for position, and the report Is in every in
stance that Gen. Meade has succeeded In get
ting the advantage.
Three hundred and ninety-two prisoners of
war, captured on Wednesday last, near Bris-
tow's Station, were brought to this city last
night, and committed to the Old Capitol
prison.
From information received from the Army OF
the Potomac tonight, it appears that body
OF rebels were seen passing southwark, oppo-
site Blackstone's Ford last night, and our bat
teries shelled them. They replied tor half an
hour, and then disappeared. They made no
other demonstration yesterday.
1t was rumored that one corps of the enemy
was approaching Fairfax yesterday, by the
Chantilly road, and our heavy batteries were
sent out in that direction. They have returned
fectly safe position and prepared to repel any
attack.
