advsuoe, and q portion Of Che troops mo-

hood The alacrity with when the soidierS--
most of them from Penney yania-wolconed the
prospect Of something to DO, augurs well for the
future Telegraphic communication up aud aowr
the river from Gen. McCars headquarters is es-
tablished
Gen. Mccall has force amply sufficient to check
any attempt by the enemy to cross, and although it
is reported that they are cutting road from
their camp TO the river, we doubt whether such
| be their intention. There is no danger but that
| intelligence Of any movements on the upper Po-
tomac will be speedily received, as the chain Of
pickets hence to Harper's Ferry is unbrokeD.
