WASHINGTON, March 12 [1862]

By an arrival at the Navy Yard to-day it is ascertained that the rebel batteries were evacuated at Aquia Creek yesterday morning – whether permanently or not we have no means of ascertaining.

Gen. Fremont will return to Washington either this evening or to-morrow morning.

Repairs have already been commenced at Bull Run, and the probability is that the road to Manassas will be in running order this week.
