ATTACK ON oUR PIcKHrB. -
There bAs bean some excitement here to.
day, in Colo eq aence Of an attack, on Monday
night, by u "a sy Of rebel cavalry ON our pic.

towards ktnston. During the night two
mouHted W skets, who were stationed In the

OF about tt rty mounted melt.
They fell back rapidly towards the In fantry
pickets. ana one Of them escaped, receiving
qnite q severe wound IN the back Of his head.
Hs was pus sued by one of the party nearly up
to where the other pickets were stationed.
The horse OF the other man came In without

They found the dead BODY OF one Of the enemy

OF them. 1t IL reported that the rebels have
eivanced a brigade eight miles this side of
ktaston, where they are slid to be in con.
siderable force.
1t is not probable, however, that they will
m a he en- attack On the forces stationed here
although such may have been the ir intention
previous to the arrival of ofreipforcemeuts

The raze Of the rebels at their humui ltias
defeat on the IA n and the snbse quent occu-
patton CT this city by the Union forces is SO
great that they would undoubtedly rsjoics nj
LIS destruction; but the vigilance Of the Cen

hope Of accom- piishing even this. They must
wait as contentedly IS possible, until the
p'iicy Of General Burnside and the plan os
the campaign causes another advance upon
them and adds another defeat to those already
experienced.

THE PkNIssULA.
WAeHTraToN, April l3, 1862.
An Intelligent observer: who left the scene
xR~ x<~A
tarday afternoon, and arrived here to-day,
furnishes the latest details from that .egi IN,
where the most terrible conflict on land and
water 10 hourly expected.
It is evident, from che movements of the
rebel monster Msrrimac, that it is not the in
tention II engage the Monitor and the other
vessels Of Com. GoldsborOagh's fiset outside
the bar. 1t is believed that the object Of the
rebels is to draw the Monitor ou. Of her posi-.
tion, so IS to enable the two iron -clad steam
srs, Jamestown and YORKTOWN, to pass the
bio kade.
The preparations of General Mcclellan
are vigorously prosecuted. HIS vigilance is
sleepless and his arrangements complete.
The force OF the enemy has ht sn rather
underrated than Overestima ated There Is
req son to believe that the rebel strength is
over cne hundred thousand, and that q large
number of the best cannon in their Z osE session
are in position, and the rebel trC Ups there are
the best drilled and the best armed In the
rebel service. The deserters and prisope or.
that have fallen into our lines are ar med viii
improved rifles.
