been informed of the approach Of federal
troops. The tswns through which Col.
Morgan passed, were almost entirely desert
ed. Three prominent rebel leaders were az
rested and brought to this camp.
The Eighteenth Regiment from Camp

Designs of JeG: Da1l upon washington.

Col. Forney writes from Washington to
the philadelphia Post as follows; "By
means of their railroad connections with the
cotton States, a large military force has been
thrown into the several camps Of monar-
chial disunionists, and it begins to become
more and more certain that they will make
at least one desperate attempt to show that
most of their boasts of superior courage
and martial experience are sincere. We are,
therefore, looking for a conflict every hour.
Bear in mind that. we are almost within
hearing of the guns Of the traitors, and that
their last attack, or rather ambuscade, on q
few companies Of one Of the Ohio regiments,
took place only some fifteen miles distant
from Washington. This fact proves the ne
cessity of the Notifications in and around
Washington that have been 30 much ques-
toned BY newspaper critics. There will be
a good deal Of marching and countermarch-
ing on the part Of the generals Of the ad-
verse armies; but after the lessons which
have recently been taught Us, I think may
venture to say that the next engagement
will be one on a tremendous scale, and that
its result will be a crushing defea; of the
rebels-unless, indeed, they take council
from these ! lessons, and retire from Manassas
as they did from Harpers Ferry and Alex
andria."
