Petroleum, "a miles in his rear, where they
had rebuilt in "a hours $50 feet span. He
had lost no men, though dire threats were
made. When he FIRST moved up the line lie
gave the rebels notice that if they killed any
Of his guards, or attacked the trains with
guerilla parties, he would pursue them with

From Harper. Ferry. {
a lispatch . be n. 7. Times says:

"a tAA1paNln " etiN eNs - @A--A~S
The rebels at Hsrpers Ferry expect soon
to have an engagement with the Federal
Army. They say they neither ask nor grant
quarter 0The only Northern men they
express any fear to meet are the Seventh
Regiment of New York, Of which they appear
to have holy horror. ta-
Ny informant thinks that, unless there is
an action within two weeks, this entire army
will be dissipated. The under officers have
no disposition to drill the men, or to exercise
them in the duties Of the soldier, and the
men have no respect or consideration for their
officers. All unite in heartily denouncing
the Yankees, as they call all who come from
north of Mason and Dixon's Line.
The only gentleman my informant met was
a Lieut.. Windham of one of the Mississippi
regiments, and even he expressed q strong
desire to cut the throaIs of Lincoln, Gen.
Scott and Secretary Seward, and talked of the
Northern troops as q Lincoln's hirelings. -
Lieut. Windham assured my inf0rmant that
the rebels could send Fifty thousand of these
hirelings TO hell, and then be match for
fifty thousand more, providing that number
were sent against Them.

Our late dispatches teen with biz b
IL interesting and important intelligence, in
diosting beyond doabt the rapid forward
movement Of the campaign on the part of the
Government. From all quarters We have
tidings Of the progress being made BY our
troops, every step taken giving rs new ad-
vantages, and strengthening materially our
position.
The points most prominent in the atten-
ton Of the Government at present are Aqua
Creek and Fairfax Court House, from
each of which it is determined to dislOdge
the rebels. These places are not only obsta-
elss in our way, buT are positions necessary to
usas q base of operations against Norfolk
and Richmond. Another conflict has occur
red at the former place, three of our steam
ers and a schooner engaging the batteries,
two of which were silenced after hot con-
test The steamers finally retired to await
the arrival of the Pawnee, which had been
sent to aid them. considerable number
are reported killed on both sides.
Au.imnediate attack is to be made upon
it by large force, and in all probability
within twenty-four hours It wiz be in ouI
possession.
A sufficient fores to take Fairfax Gourt
House was to advance last night, and if this
movement took pla e, that position is IN
dOubtedly at this time firmly in our grasp
On Friday night troop OF Cavalry, and &
body of forty-6ve Infantry, made an attack
on the place, but were Overpowered, flteer
hundred rebels being in occupation. The
Federal troops were surr ,unded, but heroicsl
ly cut their way on, and escaped with los
Of but two killed, the Rebels losing thirty
Lisutenant TomPkins, Ofthe Cavalry, had hi
horse killed under him.
The Government picket guards at Fall
Church, six miles from Arlington, were FIRE
upon Friday night and several Of then
wounded.
The rebel troops at Harper's Ferry are il
great dread Of being surrounded, an occur
renee which they have some reason to loo
for.
We have the cheering news that Easter
Tennessee is strongly and unqualified
Union, and that II, ,0OO troops could be read
fy raised there for the defense of the Soy
eminent. This is due to the noble Johnso
and his no less worthy cO-patriot Nelson, gh
have ever since the rebellion steadily an
elOquently proclaimed for the Union through
out Tennessee. -.-.... -r~r

and here let me say to my friends at dis
tance: If you are coming here, take linen
coat or two, for the weather is getting snltryi
and if you intend to soar into fashionable
latitude do not forget y,ur best dress black
and your white chOker, but leave yuur
modesty with. your wife, to be packed away
with her Winter outfit Of furs and woolens
in camphor or Scotch snuff. Summon all
the brass of your nature into your figure
head, and when you arrive here, advance by
parallels and open trenches. If the Admin
istration do not surrender, they will beat a
parley, send out flag oftruce, and negoi ite
for the subsidy OF contract, or anoint you
with the consecrating oil Of Territorial
Judgeship-provided you never read law.
