The REBEL ARMY.-Our officers
are strongly inclined to believe that
the rebel army contemplates an attack
upon our troops and upon the city.
That was the motive by which they
were brought forward to Munson's
Hill, and tho other advanced posts
which they now bold. The report
that they have retired from Manassas
Junction is not credited. There is a
stronger force there to-day, and be-

The Present Aspect of the War

The effect of our brilliant victory OF
Hatteras Inlet, is daily becoming more
and more perceptible 1t has en-
couraged and terminated the hearts
of all loyal men, and foreshadowed the
suppression Of the great conspiracy !;
it has alarmed and terrified the trail
tors; it has opened up new means for
fastening the termination of the war,
by increasing our facilities for attack,
and by sustaining the Union men of
the South, many of ahom are already
flocking into the captured forts, to
assure our soldiers of their desire and
determination to sustain the National
Government.
From the tone of the Southern pa.
pers it will be seen that Hatteras was
more than compensation for Manas-
sas, and that the whole people of
North Carolina feel the blow as IL it
had reached every heart and hearth
stone in the State. 1t win arouse
them to double sense of the power
of our great Government, it has given
voice to honest complaint, courage to
an overborn patriotism, and vitality
to the loyal sentiment of the South.
Meanwhile the blockade is stretching
ats long arms, and viii presently hug
the whole Confederacy in tight en-
brace. The Union men of the Slave
States will shortly rise from whispered
complaint into open denunciation, and
the most potent enemies Of the Re-
bslioa sill speedily be found in the
states noH under its thraldom.

WASHINGTON, September 8, 1861.
The rebel forti6cation on Munson's
Hill, three fourths of mile from
Bsiley's Cross Roads, have every in
dication of being completed.
From close inspection made to-day,
nothing was seen excepting parties
taking observations of the Federal
troops and their positions.
The earthwosks extend for o dis
lance of probably $50 yards to the
right of the Leesbnrg turnpike.
No guns were observed to be
mounted on the fortifcatons, but a
masked battery was discovered con-
ceaIed by grove near Bailey's house
about q hundred yards this side OF the
eafthworks.
On Sunday everything in the vic
Unity was quiet ; but this morning the
rebels opened their concealed batter
les, throwing shell into the encamp-
ment of our pickets at Bailey's Gross
| Roads r
Two of the shells fell short, and the
third one passed half mile beyond
them
In retaliation for this conduct, oal
sharpshooters advanced on their pick
cts and killed two Of their number.
All has been quiet to-day along the
other posts of the line.

GENERAL ORDER MOI.
/ HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAe,
Washington, Sept. 6, 1861.
The Major General commanding de-
sires and request that, in future, there
may be q more perfect respect for the
Sabbath on the palS of his command.
We are fighting in q holy cause, and
should endeavor to deserve the benign
favor of the Creator. Unless in case
of attack by the enemy, or some other
extreme military net sssity. it is COM
mended to the commanding officers
that'all work shall &c suspended on
the Sabbath that no unnecessary
movements shall be made on that day;
that the men shall, as far us possible,
be permitted to rest from their labors;
that they shall attend divine service
after the customary Sunday morning
inspection; and that officers and men
alike II their influence to insure the
utmost decorum and quiet on that
day
The General Commanding regards
this as no idle form. One days rest
in seven is necessary for men and ami
mails. More than this, the observance
of the Holy Day of the God of Mercy
and Of Battles is our sacred duty.
