About 10000 rebels are epcamped about
Beaufort, and Fort Macon had been greatly
strengthened. They are also erecting
strong batteries at Roanoke Island. 1t is
reported that the rebels landed force
about forty miles above Hatteras Inlet, in,
tending to destroy the light house on Cape
Hatteras, and drive out the federal forces
from the Inlet. Col. Hawkins has sent a
force to protect the Inlet. The British
gunboat Rinaldo was of the Inlet.

There have been pressed into the Con-
federate service nearly all the teams and
horses in the valley of Virginia. Farmers
are thus deprived Of the usual advantages
for tilling the ground, preparatory to sow
ing their next wheat and corn crops. For.
age for horses is being rapidly bought up,
showing that speedy move is about to
take place between Aqua Greek and Alex
andria. Two new batteries, one i've and
B the other ten miles above, have been erect
ed. The work upon these has been done
on dark nights. The intention seems to
be the further erection OF similar defences
along the Potomac, to point as near to
Alexandria as practicable. He says the
rebels feel safe in regard to the protection
of the Potomac between Aqua Creek and
Matthias Point, and that this feeling of Sc
curity has probably arisen from the fact
that contraband goods have in several in
stances been carried across from the coun-
ties of Charles and st. Mary's into Vir-
ginia. Signal lights have been raised, CIV
ing the rebels timely warning of the
passage at night of any of our sailing YES
sells.
MY informant learned before leaving
Manassas that the anticipated advance will
be made simultaneously at N Glands ferry,
Alexandria, and at point between Aqua
creek and Matthias Point. The movement
at Alexandria will probably be a feint.
They have made every attempt to induce
Major General Mcclellan to attack their
masked batteries, but are now satisfied that
he will not.
My informant was asked if he ever heard
of plan to assassinate Major General Nc.
Clellan. He said he never did, but he had
heard something about assassinating Presi-
dent Lincoln, whom they assert to be the
head and front of all their trouble
He says they regret that Geu. Mcclellan
is in command, and express the hope that
Gen. Scott will again assume command.
| He says jeff Davis, although not dead,
was quite feeble when his death was am
nounced, and that his health is declining
fast.
The gentleman from whom the above
information is obtained had high position
in the rebel army, and had the confidence OF
Beauregard. He is native of Virginia
A Union woman residing at Lewiasville
arrived here to-day. She reports that there
are not more than $4,000 or 10000 rebels
in Fairfax County.
1t was their intention to attempt cross
ing somewhere on the Upper Potomac
They had moved large portion of their
army in that vicinity. They hoped to cross
and then by flank movement cut of
Banks division. They swear vengeance
against him, and his gallant army, and seem
more anxious for an engagement with him
than with Gen. Nc Clellan.

FORTRESS MONROE, Sept. 22.-S. R.
SpanldiDg arrived at New York from
Hatteras Inlet this morning. On Tuesday
last the propeller Fanny ran down to Ocra.
coke Inlet with company of troops, and
entirely destroyed the Notifications aban-
doned by the cOnfederates. q
1t is said the confederates were in force
at Washington and Newburn, and that
two thousand of them had landed on Roa-
noke Island, with the intention of DESTROY
ing the light house and dwellings of Union
lists. A detachment of seven hundred men,
accompanied by naval force, were about
leaving Hatteras Inlet to prevent the in
roads.
The privateers Coffee and Winslow visit
ed Ocracoke Inlet to carry off the confed
crate guns, but left on seeing the Fanny.
The ship Argonaut, from Yarmouth, o.
S., with fish and salt, ran into Hatteras and
was secured asa prize.
A considerable force of rebels were seen
near Newport News last night, but with
drew after burning grain.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.--A special di..
patch to the Post says that Ross Winans of
Baltimore has been released from imprison-
ment. lie will Immediately return from
Fortress Monroe to his home in Baltimore
1t is understood that he has taken the oath
OF allegiance.
Washington reports assert that the ex-
aggerated accounts OF the strength OF the
rebel army are manufactured by the contract
Jobbers and their agents in this city, il order
to further their own purposes.
The Treasury Department is still actively
engaged in the preparation of the treasury
notes. Large amounts have been sent to
the Western States, where they enter at
once into the home circulation and are
eagerly taken up.
The loyal men OF Maryland are doing
their share for the support of the Govern
ment. Two full regiments of excellent
troops have already been raised in that
State and third is forming.
Quartermaster General Meigs is in Phil
adelphia, transactiDg important business
relative TO contracts for army supplies.
Secretary Cameron will return to the
city to morrow. The War Department has
has no confirmation of the report of the
surrender OF the Federal forces under Colo

New YoRK, Sept. 24.--The Herold has
an interesting letter from Fortress Monroe,
dated 22d, with advices from Hatteras In
let to the evening previous, that an expedi
ton had destroyed fort on Beacon Island.
The Ocrocoke Inlet fort was found deserted,
but the rebels had succeeded previously in
removing two heavy guns to Newbern. The
guns, numbering eighteen long 32-pounders
and four eight.inch navy guns were destroy
ed, and the fort entirely burnt up. The
light house On the island was also burned
up. Two heavy guns were also destroyed
at Portsmouth, which village, together with
that of Ocrocoke, were visited. In both
places the Union feeling was found pretty
strong. Great complaints were made of
the plundering propensties of the rebels:
Unfortunately Colonel Hawkins had not
men enough to hold the fort, thus necessi-
tating its destruction. The Union feeling
is quite strong, but smothered, in Newborn.
Meetings held in Hyde and other counties,
resolved to remain at home on the approach
Of our forces, and furnish all they could 10
the way of provisions.
Col. Hawkins had issued proclamation
assuring all the loyal citizens Of protection,
and stating the object Of his expedition was
to give them back law, order and the con
stitutlon. 3 sts

FROM SPRINGFIELD.

SPRINGFIELD, Sept. 2l.-A special dis
patch to the Chicago Tribune says: We
have late and reliable intelligence from
Kentucky to the effect that Gen. Buckner
at the head of 1000 rebels, was advancing
into Kentucky, and had arrived at Eliz.
abethtown, and was marching towards
Louisville. The secessionists are we'll or-
gaDized and armed. Twelve hundred of
their force is cavalry, and they have TWEEN
ty one pieces of artillery. The Hero of
Sumter, General Robert Anderson, will
meet the recreants, and act upon the noble
decision Kentucky has made in favor of the
Union.
1t is reported that the rebel troops have
left Memphis.
Before leaving North Missouri, Gen.
Pope reconstructed the entire military or~
ganization of his district, and his orders
are of such character as will secure unin
terrupted communication over the North
Missouri and Hannibal and ST. Joseph
railroads, the permanent occupation of St.
Joseph, and determination of the villains
who have defed the efforts of the forces
heretofore sent against them. His plans,
if executed, have ere this secured the cons
mand at Lexington with sufficient means to
assume an offensive position.

UPPER CANADA would seem to be no
place for deserters from this side. The
Chatham Planet thus announces the treat
ment of one of the gentry at that place:
On "Wednesday last an American deserter
came to town, all dressed up in his uniform
of blue. He said that be had been three
months volunteer, had served that period,
and afterwards re>enlisted for the war, but
had deserted and come to Canada. This
story obtained for him but little sympathy.
He was at once denounced as perjurer and
a poltroon, and driven from one house then
another. The men and boys even caught
the feelings of disgust that were being ex-
pressed towards the rascal and in crowds
they booted and Kissed at him all along the
streets, and fioaly we believe ran the fellow
out of town, the last being seen OF him be
was making tracks along side line in the
country. Served him right.
