LLITARY BUDGET. THE EVEN TAR. * WASHINGTON CITY: The New York Herald publishes an interesting MONDAY... ...... ee! letter in its issue of Sunday (yesterday) purporting to describe, in-detail, the armies, movements, de- signs, &c., of the disunionists in front of this capital. Though it seems almosta pity tospoll 8 tale so carefully and elaborately prepared, never- theless we may assure the public that in what it says of ‘‘the situation’’ on the other side of the river, opposite the Chain Bridge, there is no truth whatever. Thus, it says: “Gen Jobnston’s most advanced regiments are thrown forward to within two miles of the Chain Bridge, where the Leesburg turnpike lntersects the road running from the Little Falls of the Po- tommac to Ball’s Cross Roads. They are busily engaged here in throwing up intrenchments under cover of a wood, which com ly conceals their operations. These woods of course will be cut down as soon as their intrenchments are completed and their guns are mounted on them. The Chain Bridge will then be in full range of their guns, which will cover it completely. A skirmish took lace a day or two ego between two of General fiecaits regiments and those of Johnaton’s troops that are stationed In the woods to t those at work at the intrenchments A few shells were thrown Into the woods, but the rebel troops sallied out, attacked our two Ooo and, being in superior force, compelled to retreat over the Chain Bridge, with trifling loss ” We are sure that no disunion pickets even ap- proach anywhere within three and a half miles of the Chaim Bridge; nor have they so much asa company of troops stationed nearer than Munson’s Hill, a point at least five miles from the Chain Bridge by an airline: the nearest point at which they are in small force even—upon the George- town and Leesburg turnpike—is at least seven miles distant from the Chain Bridge—not two miles, as this Herald letter avers.

THE SECESSION SIGNALS DOWN RIVER. Editor Star: The accompanying Postscript Is from the Port Tobacco Times of the Sth inst.: Mr. Editor: In casuallyglancing over the Daily Exchange of last Friday, under the head of *« La- test News,” my eye fell upon the following ex- tract: ‘* Condition of the Potomac River —Thesteamer Philadelpbia has just arrived from Fortress Mon- roe. She reporte that the river is passable, and that although the secessionists are extremely lively on the Maryland shore, navigation is not in any way interrupted. As the steamer je her way up the Marylanders sent up a rapid succession of signals to notify their Virginia neighbors of the steamer’s approach ”? Is this so or not? If not, why should our peo- ple be so wronged? ‘This will account in some Measure for the stoppage of vessels and the de- struction of property. Potomac. Thisis so. From Piney Point to Fort Wash- ington there is a regularly established line of sig- nals on the Maryland shorg of the Potomac A Steamer cannot move at night but she is tele- graphed by signal lights at every three to five miles of the river, which signals are answered on the Virginia shore. There has not been a vessel or boat taken from the Maryland shore where there bas not been an abundance of evidence that they have been employed in unlawful commerce. AN Orvicer oy THE Potomac FLOTILLA. federate army, who was arrested at Cambridge about the time of the St. Nicholas affsir and con- fined 2s a political prisoner in Fort McHenry, succeeded in effecting an escspe last Saturday night, and eluding the guards and outposts.

Pie BCS AE I~ The New York papers say that as the steamboats pass Fort Lafayette, some of the dis- tinguished rebels there confined may always be Seen eltber in the casemates or promenading on the ramparts. They are greeted with loud and emphatic groans. the discordancy of which comes up to them an unwelcome dally comment on the doings of “the despot Lincoln.” > The Richmond Examiner states that Mun- son’s Hill is beld by the Maryland Regiment, and that two companies of the Maryland Regiment and fonr of Colonel Hill’s Virginia Regiment form the advance guard at Mason’s Hill, under General Longstreet. Six of the advance guard were killed in a skirmish, ‘and ten Federalists, Sccording to the Examiuer. D> Last Saturday night a party of twenty one men, who, {t was alleged, had gone off on a fish- ing excursion from Baltimore, were arrested by the Federal authorities and lodged in the station house in Baltimore. With the party were found five horses, three wagons, two bolts of blue cloth, ® pistol and a Confederate flag. The partjes are to be sent to Fort McHenry» (> The fortifications around St. Louis are going forward with great vigor, more than 1,000 men being employed, and the work going on without intermission, days, nights and Sundays.

There are three candidates in the fleld—Israel Washburne, jr., the present incumbent ; John W. Dana, and Col. Charles D. Jameson. The Republicans will ‘support Washburne, and the Democrats will be divided on the other two candidates. ieee enamels as 107 Last Friday, Rev. W.H. Wilson, a Meth- edist preacher of Baltimore, wag arrested at Waterville, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, on « charge of being concerned in the smuggling of quinine and other contraband articles, mostly medicines, through the lines of the Federal army into the Confederates States. U7 On Friday the Provost Marshal’s Police of Baltimore, arrested two Germans on the charge of uttering treasonable sentiments. Four duck guns and three revolvers were seized. A lot of muskets were also found in a haystack near the city. U7" Yesterday morning the Baltimore police arrested two men who were about starting off in @ wagon, from thecity. In s-arching the vebi- cle a false top and bottom were discovered, the latter concealing twenty Navy revolvers and two Dundles of gold lace. THE ROCKETS Last MIGHT, ETC. The fact that signal rockets were sent up last night along the upper lines of the enemy—from Opposite the Chain Bridge, apparently quite up to Leesburg—ts being construed by wonder mongers around us to indicate some movement of their army in that direction. We have every reason to doubt the fact, however. Last night, 2 portion of our troops, numbering two or three hundred only, made a reconnoisance in that direction, and the chances are ten to one that the enemy’s signal rockets were designed simple to give notice of that movement on our part. This recennoisance, by the by, was thorough and ex’ensive, embracing a considerable range of territory between the two armies. It developed nochange in the enemy's position or force, of importance to the situation of affairs. PAYMASTERS TO TAKE TURNS, ETC. Hereafter the requisitions upon the Treasury Department will each take Its regularturn Here- tofore exceptions have been made in the case of ‘army paymasters’ requisitions, for which others have been made to wait. It is found that the dilatory babit of company and regimental officers have been encouraged and Increased, rather than diminished, by the favoritism thus shown to them. The Department asks but a single day in which to pass finally upon such requisitions, that time being necessary to prevent mistakes; and i¢ regiments fail to receive their pay immediately after it is due, they may understand that in every such case the delay is the fault of their own com- pany or other officers, who are dilatory in pre- paring the proper rolls, on which alone the pay. ments can be lawfully made.

They know not at what moment his eyes may be upon them, and all of them rest constantly under the impression that he may be hourly expected to pay them a visit. = NOT THE MAN. We see it statetl that the Confederate officer killed (accoréing to rumor) at long éhot by one of our men across the river, was Col. George W. Hughes, of Maryland. This is certainly a mis. take, as Col Hughes has not been in the Confed- erate army, and is new at home quietly cuiti- vating his fine farm on West River, Maryland. RECRUITING. Information received at the War Department from a large number of recruiting? stations brings the gratifying intelligence that reérutting for the military service of the United States is now pro- gressing with extraordinary impetus and success in nearly all the loyal States. Navy YaRD. Arrival of Prisoners—Gun Practice. Last Saturday evening the propeller Reliance came up from the flotilla, bringing with her three prisoners—one a Confederate officer, Capt. Mad- dox. It appears that they had gone over to Mery- land from Virginia, at Herring Creek, near Piney Polnt, for the purpose of recruiting for the seces- sion army, and the officers of the Reliance going ashore there on Friday evening, were informed of the circumstance by an old lady living near the MP river. Captain Maddox was found in bed, from which he was ruthlessly extracted and transferred to the propeller with bis colleagues, who were together brought here and placed in confinement. ‘The Reliance reported ail quiet down the river. She returued dRain the same evening. The Yan- kee (fig ship) also went down Saturday evening. $$ ____ ("We hear, says The Traveller, that two bus- ines men of Boston, of heretofore uns) tation, ba and also towed down the schooner Buena Vista j with coal for the flotilla. The Mt. Vertion went down yesterday with dis- patches, expecting to be absent about 48 hours. The Ceres was under the shears this morning, taking on her smoke stack, &c. She expects to join the flotilla to-night. The R.B. Forbes still lies at the wharf, her ps having been kept constantly at work since arrival, to keepherclear. The water rushes 0 rapidly thatevery two or three hours it be- mes necessary to use the donkey engine on deck. Her spars have been lowered and her masts are to be taken out to-day, so as te enable her to goon the ways, still occupied by the Underwriter. Her engineer has been released from custody, nothing having been found against him in connection with the exploits of the vessel on her cruise from Boston. The other officers remain in confine- ment. The furniture of Mrs. Jackson Morton, of Rich- mond, Va, mentioned a short time since in the Star, still lies upon the wharf,a roof having been put over it to protect it from the weather. Pre- vious to placing the roof over it, it was exposed to aheavy rain, not very beneficial to the bedding of the secesh madamie. - From the lookout on the ship-house all appears quiet over the riverto-day. The firing heard this morning was gun practice in the vicinity of Alex- andria. On Saturday afternoon, at three o’clock, the Confederate flag on Munson’s hill suddenly disappeared, and observers from the leokout con- cluded that the Confederates had left the place, but before night the “stars and bars” appeared again, having been hoisted in another place. The entrenchments nearly suground the bill, and with 8 glass appear quite formidable. Preparations are being m&de at the navi bat- tery in the yard to practice with an eight-inch shell gun, under Lieut. badger, this afternoon at two o’clock. A vessel is expected from New York to-day with two or three hundred seamen f-om the re- ceiving ship Obio. Several hundred seamen have arrived here during the last week or two, for the flotilla and Pensacola, yet we learn that the re- cruiting is so brisk that the number in the north- ern receiving ships has not diminished, all being kept full There are nowt the Navy Yard quite a num- ber of fine cutters and ship launches, ready for service, and new ones are constantly being built in the ship hovse. These are manned by seamen, and carry, in addition toa strong force of men, a serviceable rifled gun of long range. AFFAIRS IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND {Special Correspondence of The Star.} Near Casin Joun, Mp., September 7.—Editor Stor: Whet between the constant alarms occa- sioued by reports of Confederate attempts to ford the river, and the depredations of Federal soldiers, folks in this vicinity fare very badly. If seces- sionists only suffered from the pilfcring and de- structiveness of a few hard characters among our troops it would be bad enough, but that those who are good Union men should also suffer, isa great deal worse. Mr. Piles, who left bis home here to work on the Federal fortifications in Virginia, is one of the sufferers, having had several small but aggravating losses of produce, poultry, &c. Heavy firing was heard here this morning, and there were rumors of an engagement in Progress near Great Falls, but we bave not been able to get anthing reliable. 2+ From THE Sgczssion Camp —The Richmond Dispatch has a letter from Fairfax Court House, dated August 27th, which, after speaking of the occupancy of Munson’s Hill bya portion of the secession forces, says : «The above skirm' A Kind Word from a Friendly Nation.
