From The Potomac


WASHINGTON, March 11. – 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 the railroad to Manassas will be in running order this week.
