There were many. rumors Of lighting on
the Potomac all through Saturday. a be-
lief was in eyerybody's head, that a for
ward movement by NcClellan's army WIS
IN progress. Nothing reliable could Be-
heard but everybody had some unrelih-
BILE rumor. The newspaper Offices weke
much frequented by the anxious to know
what foundation there was for any and al
these rumors. 1t turned out there wis
very little. It was true that Martinsbutg
and oharIestown, Jefferson county,) just
back Of Harper,s Ferry, had been taken
possession of by Gen. Banks division, bat
that was all. There was nothing from
Manassas, much to the disappointment St
the people. Although what could put II
in anybody's head that Mcclellan intends
to attack Manassas, is more than We can
tell. We never look for him TODD any
such thing as that. Manassas will be at
tackled in other localities than its own. 1t
will be made very useless to the rebels in
short time, we optne, by movements
which are making on its right and on IFS
left. There is good reason, we have god
authority for saying, to believe that etc
this week closes, If the weather is at al
favorable, Manassas will have lost its
charms for the rebels.

Besides this, tour counties, Pendleton,
Hardy Hampshire and Morgan, are to be
admitted or not as they may vote, and
three other counties, Berkeley, Jefferson
