BALTIMORE, Sept. 3.-The american
of to-day says there were no rebel troops
at Winchester on Thursday, except a few
sick. There are three or four regiments
at Leesburg, one at Waterford, above
Point of Rocks, and one at Goose
Greek.
Letters from rebel soldiers at Rich
mond states that the troops are in sad
state of restitution, being barefooted and
in want of clothing. The skins in a tam
merry at Hillsboro' were taken dripping
from the watts to convert into shoes. All
the horses of Union and secession farm
ers are seized, creating the greatest dis
satisfaction. Want of confidence il
increasing daily, the hopes of the rebels
being kept up by reports that the Federal
Government had only 10000 troops
around Washington, and found it impos-
sible to recruit any more.
