WASHINGTON, September 3O.-General
Mcclellan and staR visited the outposts of
the army on the Potomac this afternoon, in
spectiDg the natural as well as the con-
siructed Notifications about Munson and
Upton's Hills and Falls Church. The in
hsbitants in the vicinity state that the rebels
were but half clad, worse fed, aud most Of
them without shoes. They had no money,
but an abundance Of Virginia shin-plasters,
with which they paid for their forced
purchases.
In deserted house near Munson's Hill
several letters, written by the rebels, were
found, in which they state that it was Cen
eral BeauregaYd's intention to attack our
troops on the 10th of September.
Up to ten o'clock to night every thing is
quiet along the line.
The observatory balloon has been advanced
to Upton's Hill, mile and half this side of
Falls Church.
Considerable changes have taken place in
che different camps.
On Sunday, a thorough reconnaissance was
made on Munson's Hill of the surrounding
country. newly constructed military road,
three miles in extent, connecting Mason's and.
Muuson's Hill, was discovered. 1t was To-
Gated with admirable Judgment for the de-
fense of a Tetreating force, and bore marks of
the recent passage of troops.
The river to-day, at all the places where
the rebels have any hope OF crossing, is six
feet above fording. depth. Fordng- depth is
when the water IS up to the belt-say about
two and half or three feet deep.

developed to them the condition of the river

The flagstaff which had the rebel flag
flying at Freestone Point, has not been seen
since Saturday, and the place is. apparently
deserted, though this movement looks like
feint.
It is believed the rebel chiefs have sent
forward to Kentucky, by railroad by way OF
Nashville, a large part of the forces recently
in Virginia. If this is true, the abandonment
of the lines in front of Washington is par
TALLY accounted for, and it is believed tina
Buckner has been largely re-enforced from
the rebel army Of the Potomac.
A dispatch has been received here thi
evening from responsible gentleman of Gin

Thomas, at Camp Dick Robinson, telegraph

east of him, and approaching him in force
