"Washington Intelligence."

--Among the latest items telegraphed from Washington to the Northern papers are the following:

Ben McCullough is again heard from. He is in Virginia now, at Richmond, though but recently returned from an interior town. It is reported that he has enrolled a company of mounted men, numbering about 300, the nucleus of which are old Californians and Texans. It is known that he and Gov. Letcher have been conferring together for several days, and that Gov. Letcher does nothing without receiving orders direct from Montgomery.

Gen. Scott is quite infirm and forced to keep his bed a good portion of the time, but he retains his methodical and careful business habits, and by personal examination of his numerous scouts as they come in he is perfectly ‘"posted."’ Above all, he keeps his secrets.
