'ne hho oi the Aexandr1a and London Railroad IS dotted with Rebel camps. At Leesburgh there are 5000 infantry, and cannon; ata point five or six miles below are 5000 infantry and cannon; still further on, four miles beyond, are B. 300 infantry; in all Loudon County are 2OOO cavalry; the Potomac, however, remains too high to be forded, even by cavalry, to whose saddles the water comes. It appears that the withdrawal of the Rebels from Fairfax Court House was regular stampede; two scouting parties of the enemy mistook each other for Na- tional troops, attacked each other sharply fought and rapidly fled after 8 few rounds, carrying tAe news that Mcclellan and sll his army were in pursuit. The consequence of this intelligence was a nasty flight of the Rebels, who dropped their sick along the road.
 FRoN Missouri we learn that from 5000 to 10000 of McCulloch's army have left Springfield for the north. The National Army will cut off the retreat of this body toward Arkansas, when they find it desirable to move thitherward again. The steamer Samuel Orr, a mail packet, was seized at Paducah on Thursday by the Rebels, and sent up Tennessee River. Her officers and crew escaped in skiffs. The value of her cargo was $2O,OO Jeff. Davis, according to reports from the South, is to send aid to Missouri
 IT IS reported at the South-the rumor origi- hating at Richmond-that the English Govern ment has sent instructions to Admiral Milne to protect British vessels in their entrance to and egress from Southern ports,
 LETTERS from Curacoa, concerning the pirate Sumter, state that this craft was refused admit tance to the port of Cienfucgos, and was com pelled to anchor below the fort, at the entrance. Her six prizes, however, went inside. The Sumter shortly after was taken with an apprs- hension that national war vessel was in pursuit of her she accordingly retired prccipitatsly, leaving her prizes in the harbor. The subse- quently captured two American vessels, loaded with provisions. On the 2d inst sho was in the vicinity of Maturin, on the coast of Venes- uela. The Governor of Curacoa had said that, if the pirate desired again to enter that hsrber, it would not be allowed to do SO. This decision should have been made earlier
 PARsox BRowSLow.-This heroic and eccen-i tric man has been reported by way of Memphis which fact alone is sufficient to discredit the assertion-as having at last succumbed to the rebel power, and cast in his fortunes with the Richmond traitors. But in late issue of his paper, which he anticipated might perhaps be the last, as it had been threatened with suppress sion. he seems to have guessed that reports of his disloyalty womb be promulgated, and he thus forestalls them:
 So far we are concerned, VIC can suspend our publication. in obedience to the dictates of tyranny and intolerancc-we will yield to the demands of an armed mOb-turn over to them our office and what little property we have-de- prive ourselves and helpless family of small children of the necessary means of support and beg our bread from door to door among Un- ion men who are able to give-but we shall re- fuse. most obstinately refuse, to the day of our death to think or speak favorably of such Con federacy as this, or to agree that honor. patriot ism. or love of country has influenced the mon at its head, who have plunged the country into this revolution! And whether our humble voice is hushed in death-wheiher our press is muzz- led by the spirit of intolerance at Richmond, making this our last issue of journal we have edited for almost quarter of q century, we beg all who may come after us and our paper, tO credit no secession falsehood that may represent us as having changed our principles from those of an exalted devotion to the old American Uni on, and of undying hostility to those who would pc rpetrste its dissolution
