REBEL DEPoT BROKEN Up.-On Saturday
last, Lieut.. Budd, commanding the steam
er ReSoIute, cleaned out one of the rebel
depots on the Potomac. 1t has been
known for some time that Herring Creek
on the Maryland side, and Machodock
Greek, opposite, on the Virginia side, were
depots for Maryland recruits 10 the rebe
army in Virginia. The Resolute having
approached within 800 yards of the shore
of the creek, was fired on with musketry
A boat was Immediately lowered, and Lieut.
Budd, with 2 men landed The rebels fec
at their approach, and were pursued for q
mile, but made the escape.
Papers containing important information
were found. The buildings were destroyed
and ten contrabaudS found OH the premises
were brought away. After leaving the
creek Lieut.. Budd learned from the negroes
that there were 800 of the rebels concen
trated at Hagnr, about 5 miles back from
the river, and that their ferry boat was {
quarters Of mile up the creek. Meeting
the schooner Dana, he took her gun and
crew upon the Resolute, placing the negroe;
in charge Of two men of the Dana, he went
up the creek and captured large boat
capable of carrying % or 80 men, but saw
nothing of the rebels. After reporting to
Com Craven, the latter sent an expedition
last night to Herring creek, and number
Of boats were captured there. The rebel:
are evidently hard pressed for provisions
and are taxing all the grain from barns OF
the river for army purposes.

Rain has come at length, and vegetation
is looking up. 1t has been fearfulIy dry in
this vicinity for some weeks. The Peach
crop is not abundant hcreabouts, but the
market is well supplied from Cincinnati.
They are retailing for 81 so per BUSH Ap.
pies are worth 81, but will no doubt go
shortly to half that. New Potatoes sell
readily for 62 cents. The army worm is

treat at Bull Run, and the city appeared
wild with JOY on their reception. Il may
be all well enough to rejoice over the safe
return of friends, but to celebrate over a
defeat, is quite another thing, and l greatly
fear, will have o demOralzing effect upon
our volunteer sOldiery, if the man that
runs before an enemy receives the same
