FROM THE UrPEIE POTOMAC.

EDWARDS FERRY, Oct. 4.-The rebels,
during tins Afternoon, were busily engaged in
and around their fort between Leesburg and
the river, fronting Edwards Ferry. They had
previously removed their ad vance, but, from
their movements, it was judged they were en-
gagged in replacing them. The tort is located
in the crest OF the first range OF hills from the
river, several hundred yards to the left OF
piece OF woods, with bre stwork connecting
it v it'll and extending into or in the rear OF the
woods. To the rear OF this elevation Is Lees.
burg. Parties OF horsemen have at different
times during the day come up TO the iorllnca-
tons, and viewed our batteries ranged along
the hills above the ferry. Between the Tort
hill and Lee sburg evidently rests large rebel
force The smoke from their camp fires nave
been OBSERVABLE all day. 1t is believed, how
ever, that their main body lies nearer to ana
directly opposite the ferry. They have not
exposed themselves in any force, but their
pickets and small reconnoitering parties have
several times been seen.
During the afternoon train consisting of
about one hundred wagons appeared on a
more distant hill to the right OF Leesburg and
encamped there under the lea OF piece of
woods. Towards dusk considerable body of
cavalry were seen approaching a farm house
near the river, a mile above The ferry, where
during the afternoon, several bodies OF officers
had paid visits 1t is thought that this house
had been occupied as a headquarters OF some
brigade or division.

The Tribune says, at several recent sittipgs

that the further consideration of diplomat,

IL is said that no uDeasiness Is felt by th,

EARLY APRL DAYs--The frst day Of April!
How 1t Is welcomed by children and youth as Z
season of sport and jollity! Their little innocent
deceptions practised for the sake Of fun, and out
Of The fullness Of the hearts gaiety, are tricks
Of Natures own coming; for she at this season
oft shows US smiling face that seems to say,
"Spring has come" and then suddenly yelling
her features In a wintry cloud, she rogulshly
mocks US with ,"April fool!"
Though there may come cold winds and stormy
skies, we do know, notwithstanding these little
deceptive tricks which Nature practices upon
US from year to year, as children annually make
"April fools" of each other, that the reign of
winter Ia quite over, that the swelling buds will
soon burst open, and the early flowers appear.
The early days of April, upon which we are
now entering, are days Of preparation for the
seasons grand movement, when the forces of
the vegetable world, long pent up 10 the stern
bonds of Winter, are gathering strength silently
and invisibly for the march through the beauty
and garniture offspring, to the glory and splen.
dor of Summer 77 -1..7-s
"These early April days." says writer In the
Atlantic, "have charm--even days that seem
raw and rainy, when the sky is dull and be-
quest Of March.wind fingers, chasing the squir.
rel from The tree, and the children from the
meadows. There is fascination in walking
through these bare early woods-there ls such a
pause of preparation, winters work Is so cleanly
and thoroughly done. Everything is taken
down and put away: throughout the leafy ar
cades the branches show no remnant of last
year, save a few twisted leaves Of oak and |
beach, few empty seedIvessels of the tardy |
witch.hazel, and a few knawed nutshells drop |
ped coquettshly by the squirrels into the crew
ices of the bark. All else is bare. but pro-
phetic; buds everywhere, the whole splendor of
the coming summer concentrated in those little
knobs on every bough; and clinging here and
there among them, brown papery chrysalis,
from which shall yet wave the superb wings of
the Luna moth. An occasional shower patters
on the dry leaves but 1t does not silence the rob-
in on the outskirts Of the wood: indeed be sings
louder than ever, though the song.sparrow and
