the remark that whatever plans oi offsnsive

says he is coming, be will wish he had stayed
at home. II we are not miAiaksn, The next

On Thursday night the enemy made a raid
opposite Ball's Gross Roads, and captured

small train Of wagons, all Of which were re-
captured BY our return scouting party.
Since writing the above, gentleman informs

crossed into Virginia,
We hear, but how much reliance there l. to
be placed upon the statement we cannot ray,
that Gen. Wool had brush with the enemy
while be was attempting to cross at Bolivar
Heights, and repulsed him.
As we writs, news or rumors reach US that
the rebels have crossed the Potomac In large
numbers. How far these statements are relis
Bile, it is now impossible to say. II Is said that
they crossed ct two points, one above and The
other below Point Of Rocks.
Military officers have been detailed to watch

learn that this information comes from any Of

FROM THE BATTLE FIELD.-'rHE Ea
EMY, HIS CONDITION., TEMPER
AND RyPHCTATIONS

We bad a conversation with two gentlemen,
one Canadian surgeon, and the other clerk
In the Interior Department, who left the Bull
Run battlefield at eleven. O'Clock Wednesday
forenoon, having been Two days within the
eneny's lines under flag OF truce TO look af-
ter our wounded.
Some Of our wounded, a, that time, were re
naming, and needing assistance, which has
since le furnished, our informants having 70
ported the condition Of things ss soon az they
got within our lines.
The enemy captured few commis.sry stores.
bat more medical stores /; enough, indeed. as
they say, to last them two months, although
this IL believed to be an pSspgcration. Their
sagerness for clothing, inducing them 10 strip
our dead, has been reported by many witnes
sea. An extreme case, actually witnessed by
cur informantu, is reported by them. A rebel
took blouse frcm The dead body Of nations
soldier, In al advanced state Of decomposition
and was obliged to shake the worms out Il i
before putting it on.
From on ,.oi our infoI E,ants slthOugh undeI
flag Of truce, q rebs! officer robbed hsver'
sack, saying that Necessity knew no law and
that the article could easily be replaced with
| in our lines.
Our ini0rmanls saw the column moving
towards Lsesburg on Tuesday evening, esti.
mated by an Informant OF tho Star OF 30 or
10000, but by them at not more than % 900.
Their general impression, by the way, Is, that
our forces exceed those Of the enemy, two TO
one.
The rebel soldiers are poorly clal, and es
pecially poorly shod Leather is an article 10
which they maniiestly do not abound, but they
make up for the want oi II by plenty OF
pluck.
Our informant saw this whole column pass
whether % or 80 900, and they say that it was
full Of negroes, Al! the train horses and some
OF the artillery horses were driven by negroes
They were numerous siso on foot carrying
bundles, baggage, and truck Of all kinds.
Our iniormants conversed freely with The
rebel tfhcsrs and soldiers, who admitted the
sufferings Of the South and their desire that the
war might clOse, but not one OF them would
be sa.istsd with anything short Of indspsnd-
snce. The reported desire Of the rebsl rank
and nle To return to the old h.P," Is altogether
disbelieved by our informsnts.
The rebel army supposes that 1t Is about te
be led into Maryland. Our informants bslisv.
90 also, 10 which we differ from them.
Our iniormants think, from what they sax
aud heard, that the rebels loss largely ty hard
ships and exposure. Their soldiers look worr
out. Many Of them are too old, or too young
for service. The war lie using up the military
population Of the South at rapid rate,
