Po1ST OF Rocks, August 10 Editor Stor:-The
whole of General Banks command has left Sandy
Hook, and will encamp for the time being near the
mouth of the Monocacy river, on the Potomac
The Confederate pickets occupied Harper's Ferry
last night There was firing by pickets across the
river, and it is said two of the Confederates were
killed. The work upon the bridge is suspended
1t wanted but two spans to complete it. The i'm
preston is that johnson will move this way in force
He will get hot reception. 1t is possible that, as
Harrer's Ferry is not occupied, and but one regi-
ment at Sandy Hook they may turn their atten-
ton that way. As we occupy the railroad not far
from it, movement to cut them off could soon be
made. There is reliable information here that the
enemy is concentrated at Leesburg, some thousands
strong, with field pieces.
