WASHINGTON. July Z.

Especial to the Chicago Trlbune.l
Sunday was grest day in Washington. Tele-

son, at Martinsburg, say great force is coming
from Manassas Junction to reinforce the rebels IN.

Ten Regiment were going to-day and last night {.
mostly New Workers, by rail to the Relay House
and Frederick. The column under command Of
Con. Sanford arrived at Martinsburg three days
ago.
Nothing has been heard Of Gen. Mcclellan. 1t
is supposed he has not had time to come 70 Pat
terson's support. This movement Of the euem
will be met by Al advance Of the whole Of our
Virginia force towards Manassas Junction Ct the
moment-possibiy within two days. It's hoped
that the next movement from the Junction will be
great enough to enable Gen. Mcdowell to ferce
his way between these divisions and shut in the
advansing rebel column between Pat ers0n's and
AcDoweli's commands, thus campelling sight or
. fOst-rSce or . surrender.
Il is thought that Col. Stone, Ut Harper's Fer
r., will be forced to take the Maryland ride and
join Sanford on his advance. Probably the frst
battle will be between Wipchester and Martins
burg with $4,000 on side.

and horses, al day. The boys walk with high
spirits, painting for fight. They are fling past
