Especial Dispatch to the New York Tribuue.1
WASHINGTON, November 13.-The report
that the rebel forces on the Lower Potomac
have been diminished proves untrue. They
have probably been increased. On Monday
General Hooker estimated their number op-
posite his head quarters at nine thousand.
The Fourth Alabama is encamped at Ship
ping Point still. They manifest rather
dread of an attack than an intention to make
one. Almost every night the long roll is
beaten along their lines. L..
Two steamers and eleven schooners passed
the rebel batteries in one night. On Sunday
they we're at work strengthening their prin-
cipal batteries. On Monday they threw two
Dahlgren shells at small schooner, not one
Of which touched her. Our Parrot guns at
Budd's Ferry, manned by a squad of the First
Artillery, opened in reply.
This battery commands Quantico Greek
and prevents the exit of the George Paige
whose smoke-stsck is visible from the rebel
shore. Although all the boats on the Mary
land side have been seized, and our pickets
extend to Budd's Ferry and far below, the
mails between Washington and Virginia are
still believed to be regular. Women serve as
mail carriers.
Especial to the New York Herald.J
A scouting party, sent out by General
Smith yesterday, reports the enemy had ad- ?
vanced their lines to Hunters Mills, two
miles beyond Vienna, which place they now
hold in force. The rebels have burned two
bridges over Difficult Creek, on the Alexan-
dris and Leesburg turnpike three miles this
side of DramesVille.
1t is believed their movements in this di
rection are made to cover an intended re-
treat on their part in case of an advance by
General Mcclellan.
General Denver is ordered to report to
General Hunter at Fort Leavenworth.
General W. 7. Sherman has been ordered,
when relieved by General Buell., to report
