THE REBEL DAM EXPLOITS.

From the Martnsburg (Va.) Republican, Dec. 2S.
We have heard OF several attempts TO destroy the
dams along tho Potomac in Berkeley county,
blockade the canal through which the Yankees receive
large quantities OF coal and produce. ALI these efforts
have proved aborive to that recently by the
far famed stone BRIGADE if there be any truth
the reports Of the last few days. From those
hear that the boats still running the canal from
above Dam No s. This is not solid structure OF sone
is stated by the Richmond papers The dam has been
materially damaged; but from all can learn until
there feshet sufficient to carry away the pie sheet
ing" will still act feeder TO the canal We make
these statements because have been disguised at the
lies which the dam exploits have occasoned In imta-
tion OF Yankee exaggeraton by Southern writer's the
false report found its into tha papers that General
jackson had crossed the river off the federals and
captured several pieces Of cannon II is true that the
fright Of the Yankees the river shows that they
confidently expected visit from Jackson They in
the greatest excitement at Wliamsport and Hagorsown.
Many left the latter place. and ut the former they had
made every preparation to destroy their magazine
other property One of their correspondents left for the
camp OF General Banks and afterwards wrote that he
had seen fifty OF General JacKsons wagons unloading
boats, preparatory to crossing the river.
