WE hope that our officers in command at
Romney are on the keen look out for the
rebel Jackson and his force, which good
authority informs us is very large. a gem
tleman recently arrived from the seat of
war, informs us that this force when it ap-
pcared at Bath the other day, and compcll-
ed our 500 troops to fall back on Hancock,
numbered at least fifteen thousand. They
had heavy cannon, too, and were in all
respects equipped for active service. Why
it is that they were not able to to more harm
to the town of Hancock by their Smelling,
remains mystery. We are inclined to
believe that the design was, and is, to cross
over nndto save the town rs a sort of
stgageticaI point.
The next news that we expect to hear of
JacksOn's force is that they have fired
Marttusburg, preparatory to IN attack on
Romuey. 1t would seem as If the rebels
had about concluded TO give up the former
place, or rather tho site of it, to Banks,
command, and to attempt something decis-
i've Mt more decisive points, Romney, un-
uouOtediy, Is one OF these pOints-perhaps
Cumberland. The latter place is being
put in state of defence, which is right.
1t may be possible that our Romney troops
shall need it MS a base of operations.
We regard tho dislOdgment of the rebels
from Blues Gap as piece of good iudg-
ment. The actual aud immediate net
results were not much. of course INIT tho
moral force of dislodgtng them and of
having clear field around ROmney, cannot
be too highly estimated.
We believe that our troops in that vicinity
will whip the enemy bad yet, the FIRST good
opportunity that is presented. And We do
not sec how collision of more or less i'm
pOrtance: can be evOded amy length of
time. We are pressing them South of the
Baltimore road, and as matter of vital
Importance to their cause they are en-
deavoriug to retain their hold upon it.

AFTER the rebels burned the bridge over
Cacapon river last Monday night, they
proceeded to tear up an immense quantity
oftrnck. 1t is estimated, We are informed,
that they have taken up enough to finish
the road from Winchester to stransburg.
1t was great misfortune that they wore
allowed to get access to the road between
Cumberland and Hancock. The design OF
our force at Bath was to hold them in
check, butt seems that We quite underes-
timated their strength, and that they
brought more than e thousand for every
hundred we had to oppose their march
down Sir Johns Run. Until we can gain
and hold clear footing all along the
South side of the Potomac, it is all folly
to talk about the reconstruction of the
Baltimore road.
1t is simply waste of money and ma
terial. If it was all reconstructed now, it
would he burned and torn up just ms bad
~ us ever in q week. We must put mar
gin, and a wide one, too, between the enc
my and the north and south branches of
the Potomac, before we think about rail-
road building. Let US, however, in the
meantime, look sharply to the safety of
what we hold of the road.

Reception OF Governor PeIrpoInt Mt
FHlrmOmt.
The Fairmont National, received last
night, gives glowing account of the re-
ception which Gov. Pcirpoint and wife
met with on their first visit to their old
home since the Governors election. 1t

Beeson, Frederick Chislcr, j. j. Moore, r.
B. Scott, Jno. Kearsley, N. S. Barnes, and
Capt. MauIsby, acted as a committee of
reception.
A large crowd gathered at the the de
pot, and flags and banners were displayed
in great numbers all along Bridge street,
and much good humor prevailed among
the people. As the train of cars ap-
pcared in sight, the people became very
anxious to get peep Mt tho Governor, and
as he madc his appearance on the plat
form, cheer after cheer and shout after
shout mado the welIin ring, convincing
every one present that loyalty and patriot
ism still dared to breathe in old Marion,
the birthplace and home of tile Governor,
whose loyalty is as firm ms the everlasting
bills and rs true ms tue needle to the pole.
Prof. w. r. White, who had been appoint
ed for that purpose, made the reception
speech.
The Governor made speech in reply,
detailing his official and personal cxpe-
rieucesr since leaving his old home, which
is printed at length in the National, and is
very interesting.

Richmond, to build bridge at Stcuben-
vile, over tho Ohio river, and make df-
rect connection from Philadelphia, over the
Holiday Cove Road, with the Steuben-
willie 4 Indiana Road. In return for this
grant, it was agreed ON its part that
n similar bridge should be construct
ed at Wheeling, which should con-
nect the Central Ohio and the Baltimore
and Ohio roads, and that the Stubenville
bridge should not be finished until thirty
days after the one at Wheeling. The pro-
visions of this agreement arc plain and ex-
Plieit, aud it was accepted in good faith
by our people and the Baltimore Road as
the settlement of long contested case, in
VOlving points of mutual interest and riv-
airy. The question is now simply, shall
