The Governor of Fernando Po has been au thorized by the Spanish Government to receive in that Island a oertain number of slaves who may be captured by vessels of the United States, that, being free, they may theism acquire the benefits of civilization. Flag officer Inman has communicated this proposition to our Government. It appears-by the same corropondence from the African squadron thatthe secessionistahave been sending circulars to the naval officers of southern birth holding out inducements to leave the United'States service and join that of the confederates, with equal rank. A first Lieu tenant of Marines, actually, received one of these documents: There is nothing new to-day from tha other side of the Potomac. The rebels are unusually quiet beyond our lines. They doubtless hope to draw out our troops beyond the range of our defences..., But General McClellan will make no such move till helm entirely ready.

The principal body of their forces has been pushed forward to the Upper Potomac; to be thrown across into Maryland, for which movement it column of forty thousand is prepared, with pontoon bridges, upon which they can cross at any point they find the least defended. They are determined to make an effort to get Maryland in their possession, and they believe that will insure their ultimate possession of this city apd all the immense accumulation of supplies hews, and enable them to transfer the war from the Potomac to the, Susquehanna, and secure to them the recognition by Europe of the southern confederacy.
