From Washington.

Memphis, Oct. 13.
--Special dispatches appear in the Western papers received, with dates from Washington to the 9th inst. They state that the imbroglio between Fremont and Blair continues, and that two of the Blairs are still prisoners.

The Potomac river is very full, preventing the passing of the Confederates.

A Federal reconnaissance reports that the rebels are at least 100,000 strong, and are occupying their former positions.

Gen. Smith has advanced from the Chain Bridge, and is now occupying Lewinsville.
