The only matter Of any interest here is the late
movement of the Rebels, and the reconnaissance
made in the direction of Winchester The main
portion of the enemy abandoned their position on the
line of the Potomac on Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning, falling back beyond Nartinsburg
The reconnaissance which left shepherdstown
yesterday morning under Gen. Pleasanton consisted
of three regiments oil cavalry aud one battery of
artillery. Shortly after leaving that town, our
troops came up will The rear-guard Of tie enemy,
which they drove before them without much trouble
TO the vicinity OF MartinsburP. Al that place the
Re bells showed bold front. Two regiments of cav
airy and three regiments Of infantry with artillery
were plainly to be seen. Gen. Pleasant0n opened on
them with Lis guns forcing them to fall back beyond
the town, when our troops entered and occupied IT,.
] here was no loss on either tide OF any account.
The object OF the expedition having been accom-.
plished, tho troops returned to SheF aerdstown.
HE m in body of the Rebels are between Bunker
Hill and Winchester. Extensive works are being
cons ructed at different points between these two
places, the negroes taken at Harpers Ferry being
employed for tn6t purpose.
In order TO impede the progress of our troops, the
Ike bes burnt The bridges across the Ope1uiD, outside
OF the toyn. The women OF Martnsburg TO show
their loyalty. with the assistance Of some boys, had
ore Of the bridges reconstructed by the time Gen.
Pleasantons column arrived.
The whole country this eide Of Winchester has
been robbed Of ything necessary for the sUbsst-
