x THE FIRING TO-DAY. WASHINGTON CITY: The heavy booming of cannon heard this morn- TUES OAY........... ++».September 3, 1961. ] ing created quite a buzz of excitement on the street corners and at the Center Market, from which latter place some of the old lady customers scuttled away to their respective homes with half filled baskets, and in a state of considerable trepi- dation. The first impression was that the firing was in the direction of Munson’s Hill, and a good many glasses were at once directed in that direc- tion, but all seemed as quiet as a summer’s morn- ing in that locality, with few Confederate soldiers visible, and those pursuing the even tenor of their way. All seemed equally tranquil at our own camps over the river with the exception of a little artillery practice by one of our companies near the Potomac, this side of Alexandria. The heavy firing, however, was evidently in the direction of the Chain Bridge, and was soon set down by those posted, as practice gunnery also. It was conti.ued for two or three hours. AFFAIRS DOWN THE RIVER. Fifteen or twenty vessels have arrived here within the last twenty-four hours, and with one exception the crews report all quiet down the tiver, having seen no batteries and no men on the Virginia shore. The exception is the schooner Charles West, which arrived last night, and re- ports that while opposite Mathias Point the cap- tain had a fine glass, through which he was trying to geta peep atthe Confeds, when a shell came whizzing over his head and dropped in the water about 400 yards beyond his vessel. He made no further observations in that locality. At Potomac Creek—below Aquia, and sbove Maryland point— he noticed some commotion just above the old steamboat landing, at the mouth of the creek. Taking his glass he saw the ‘men as thick as black berries,” apparently throwing up entrench- ments, and twenty or thirty horse and ox teams hauling earth. One team had six oxen attached, and appeared to be drawing a gun. NEW BRIGADIER GENERALS . On Saturday last, the President made the fol- lowing appointments of Brigadier Generals. Viz: Capt. Geo. C. Meade, of the Topographical Engi- neers; Major Lawrence P. Graham, of the Dra- goons, (a Virginian by birth, and breveted for gallantry in Mexico;) and Colonels Abercrombie, Biddle, Duryea, and Casey. The last is Lieu- tenant Colonel by brevet in the regular army. He served with distinction in Florida, and was bre- veted thrice for gallantry iu Mexico. To-day, he also made the following Brigadier Generals. Viz: Wm. A. Richardson, and Eleazor A. Paine, of Ill; Justus McKinstry, Assistant Quartermaster U.S. A ; O. Howard and Chas. D. Jamieson, ef Me; A. McD. McCook, of Ohio, Ebenezer Dumont, Robert H. Milroy, and Lewis Wallace, of Ind ; Daniel E. Sickles, of N.Y. THE BIOMING OF ARTILLERY THIS FORENGON. “The firing across the river this forenoon, of heavier guns than have heretofore been heard at this point, was occasioned simply by the exercise of the men (at the guns) stationed in some of the United States fortifications in the vicinity of the Chain Bridge, and near Alexandria. The enemy fired several shots this forenoon from rifled guns on Munson’s hill, at Union pickets, without, however, killing or wounding a man. OTHER DUTIES. - We understand toat Col. Mark H. Dunnell, of the 5th Maine Regiment, will soon leave for Vera Cruz, at which port he was appointed Consul in April last. The three months for which he was allowed leave of absence by Secretary Seward, expired on the 9th of August, and he was duly notified of the wish of the Administration, that he should enter upon his duties as Consul PASSES. After to-day, passes to cross the Long Bridge, or to go to Alexandria by boat, will only be granted between the hours of 9 a. m. and 1 p.m. They will be issued by Lieut.

Their criticisms, though almost universally adverse to the positions he appears to have taken, are by no means unkind towards bim personally, as it is evident that, though a tried and competent soldier, be is no lawyer, and therefore may not be expected to be always successful In so drawing up such papers, as to state such things with legal precision. It is well understood bere that his purpose was simply to notify the people of Missouri of his intention to carry out the letter and spirit of the confiscation act. So far as the Government bere !8 concerned, all in Washington realize that such is their pur- pose; and therefore no one among us dreams that they in any manner sympathize with the views of those at the East who would have that act inter- preted to mean @ license from Congress to attempt to pervert the war from its legitimate end—the re. establishmen’ of the Union under the Constitution and laws-—so as to make it, instead, a war for the abolishment of slavery throughout the United _ States, or in some one or more States of the Union. —o—— Coxpition oF Tmincs tx Vincinia.—A gentle- man just from Eastern Virginia gives us the fel- lowing interesting particulars of the condition of © portion of Virginia through which he has Passed within a few days.

A brief ‘Stay in Fredericksburg enabled him to ascertain that coffee is selling at 50 cents per pound; sugar 37 cents; flcur $12 per barrel, though wheat is only 40 to SOcente per bushel. Sewing needles cannot be bought, and spool cotton is 12 cents per Spool; boots $15 to $20 per pair. At Fredericks ‘burg he learned that s manufactory for making sabers had been established there, which had furnished a large number of those ‘weapons to the rebel army; but other arms were very scarce Fredericksburg has not been fortified, but there is 2 squad of about fifty men from Maryland at Camp Mercer, near the town. A division of the rebel ‘army, under Gen. Holmes—about fifteen thousand men—is posted in the country from Fredericks- ‘burg to Manassas Junction. Communication with Maryland has not been cut off; and by some means the New York Her- eid and Tribune and Baltimore Sun can be had at Fredericksburg The local columns of these pa- pers are eagerly scanned by the Confederates, to ‘Secertain what troops were moving to Washbing- ton and the seat of war; and by means of the in- formation thus gathered they are enabled to keep thoroughly posted as to the strength of our forces It is sald and believed there that about 6,000 reb- els are posted near Aquia Creek, and are construc- ting & formidable battery several miles this side of it.

Firing of heavy ordnance could be distinctly heard in the direction of Alexandria this morn- ing, but from the top of the ship-house its locality could not be ascertained. The Confederates on Munson’s bill can be distinctly seen from this place witha good glass, and their movements rendered perfectly visible. Most of each morning is devoted to drill, and small bodies of troops can be distinctly seen performing their various evolu- tions. Officers of the flotilla state that, from Alexandria to the Rappahannock river—a distance of nearly 150 miles—not a soul is visible on the Virginia shore, the whole country bearing the mark of des- olation.

[Special correspondence of the Star.) ALExanpria, Sept. 3 —Editor Star: The dis- union troops are erecting a fortification about @ mile below Murry Mason’s, on the land of Levi Deming, (cottage farm, five miles out on the Little River turnpike ) The southern pickets have possession of the upper part of the farm and the Union pickets the lower part of the farm. In the meantime, Mr. Deming has thought it prudent to leave. ‘The disunion pickets are arresting Union men in the Accotink neighborhood. We lear that they bave arrested Mr. P. H. Troth, a very worthy and reliable and inoffensive citizen, a miller, and one of great value to the neighborhood, who can be badly spared, and who, although a Union man, has committed the unpardonable sin of not think- ing secession was a cure for all the evils that now affect us. * =: MOVEMENTS OVER THE RIVER.

A sbort time before the surrender of Fort Hat- teras about three hundred of the rebel garrison had taken refuge in the bomb-proof magazine, which was so crowded that several fainted, and when a shell struck and penetrated it, a panic ensued which the officers could not control Within ten minutes afterwards, our shots mea: time raining in upon them, the white flag w: ran up. During this time most of the casualities occurred. The prisoners manifested great sur- prise at falling into Uncle Sam’s bands, from whose grasp they had believed themselves per- fectly secure. The rank and file were equall astonisbed to find that they were fed and shel- tered instead of being slaughtered in coid blood. The officers felt keenly the miscarriage, and did not hesitate to say that North Carolina bad got a severe blow. All manifested eat anxiety to know what was to be done with them, and were assured that they were going among better friends than bee Cons at home, and where they would receive full rations regularly. The last consideration seemed to afford great satisfaction to the privates. When the capitulation took place, the provisions of the garrison were run- ning very low, consisting principally of salt jank and molasses The rebels’ shells were filled with sand. But few fuses were found in the fortress. The shells ‘were supposed on shipboard to be rifled shot, owing to the sand. The powder in the fort was of a poor quality. There was a large number of Percussion caps, rebel make. The copper was not water-proof, and they were very poor About half the prisoners had been in the fort for three months, with little pay. They complained of hardships. The arms were mostly altered from flint to per- cussion locks. They were of very poor ag But two companies were fully uniformed, the rest were in citizens’ clothes. There was a sepa- rate corps of Coast Guard, recently organized into regiments, under Col Martin, one of the most Prominent North Carolina lawyers. A number of the defenders were from the country, having volunteered since the arrival of the fleet, consisting of substantial men, planters. ship owners, tar boilers, proprietors Some of the soldiers said they had enlisted toavoid being impressed; others didn’t hesitate to express the hope that the war would speedily close, adding that it was ‘‘a bad business.’ When the prisoners were taken on board the Adelaide the call for water was universal, and their thirst appeared unquenchable. All the ice on board was used up inatwinkling. The pris- oners said they had bad no water fit to drink since they had been in the fort. They were perfectly exhausted, and could lie down anywhere for a nap The hospital was poorly supplied. The wounds, without exception, were caused Py the explosion of bombs, and were of a horrible description ‘They bled but little, in consequence of the sear- ing from hot shell.
