back on their Notifications, which are said to be
very extensive, and defended by from II 900 to
1000 men under Gen. Pope.
Their loss is unknown. Our force was 1900

A FEMALE SPY.
In connection with names respecting the leak
age of news from Washington to the rebels it
is said that daughter of a high of6cial is one
of the guilty party. 1t is now understood from
movements of the rebels they were aware of the
destination of Gen. Burnside's feet. The story
goes that it was talked of in the family OF the
oficia alluded to above and by the daughter
communicated to her lover who is a rebel. The
destination of Gen. Burnside's fleet is changed
because of the knowledge acquired of the point
at which it was aimed. The young lady a!lu-
ded to above left town recently and has not yet
returned. Her father it is understood will
shortly leave for Europe for tho benefit of els
health
