WAsz7sGTos, Sept. Is, 1862
The latest advices from the enemy's liues
confirm former auppos:tiors that they are
concentrating their forces at Winchester, With
q view to making vigorous stand there,
Matters pow look ss it we were to pursue an
aggressive policy, and attack them ut Win
chester. They are bringing up supplies, aud
there is every indication thst they are pre-
paring to fortuS Wjncheater and hold it as
base OF future operations.
The cavalry reconnaissance to AshbY's Gap,
of which account has been heretofore given,
turns out to lav.. fdi cd afer al iu it, maiu
object, viz: destroying or capturing sotue 800
wagons, belonging 10 Les a7gy. which, are
reported to have been only fen miles back
from the Gap.
We h4vs ruuor that the president j; On
inc point If Issuing orders for HI extension Of
the draft, TO as to raise the Goo,0,0
called for in recent ellis to 1000 900.
The story is not confirmed, however
Meantime nothing more is yet known
to be dolng to make the draft already ordered
effective. All prominent living officers con-
neeetd with the surrender Of H4rper's Ferry,
including Coloneis Tom Ford, Trimble and
D'Utsssey, and Gen. White, are nov here uo-
der arrest, to await an Investigation by Gen
Eunte1's military commission. Before beins
placed under arrest, Gen. White had demanded
coult Of inquiry. Col. D'Utassey also is
Understood to have been highly Indignant at
the surrender, and able beyond dou5t to make
clear shos sfng Of his anxiety to prolone the
contest and cut his way ont, or do anything
that would avert the humiIiating surrender
