Important reports from Washington. We received intelligence by telegraph from Manassas yesterday, said to have been brought by passengers, to the effect that an announcement appeared in the Baltimore Sun of Saturday last, that Gen.

The vessels stopped there for a short while — for what purpose is not known — and afterwards put to sea as one expedition, none of them going up the bay. The returned prisoners report that they l<

From Washington. Nashville, Nov. 3. --A special dispatch to the New York Tribune, dated Washington October 28th, says Gen. Scott will voluntarily retire from his rank and its duties within ten days, solely on account of his physical infirmities. Under an act of Congress he will continue to draw his pay. Hon. Jefferson Davis, when Secretary of War, overhauled the long-standing account of Scott with the Government, and brought him largely in debt. Cameron, who has recast the account, sScott with the Government, and brought him largely in debt. Cameron, who has recast the account, says he had never overdrawn. On the 26th ult., an order was issued from the Commander-in-Chief that Fremont should surrender his command to the next in authority and Gen. Hunter sent Gen. Curtis to St. Louis to take the place of Fremont, unless he was actually in the presence of the enemy, or pursuing him for battle. Senators Chandler, Wade, Turnbull, and Wilkinson were at Washington, representing to the Administration that the popular clamor of their constituents demands that McClella
