WASHINGTON, Nov. II, 1861
There is to doubt that the country between
Harper's Ferry and Washington, on the other
side OF the river, is swarmfag with guerillas,
and tb=t ztz7gglers are occasionally pickad up
there By these rebels. The military orders
agai1et entering this dangerous district, now
fhst 1t has been abandoned by the army, are
strict, hut suffers, conv1escents, newspaper
correspondents aHd vendtrs run the risk.
Some Of the latter have narrowly escaped
capture. The rebels booty thus far Is small.
The opinion prevails at Harper's Ferry that
jackson is Tax G1ta:ing another raid into Mary
land.
One hundred aud fifty prisoners we're
brought in to-day from Warrenton,. an Ala
ba1aa colonel among then.
Fifteen hundred horses vera sent to-day to
Bu1nsfde's army.
BALTIMORE, Nov. IA special to the
american, from Hafpee's Ferry to-day, says
parties from Winchester and scouts report
that jackson passed through Winchester en-
Monday, and Gen Hill followed on Tuesiay.
It is believed that jackson is between Via
chester and Harper's Ferry, and sk1rmishing
between pickets has been resumed.
Gen. 2locum is In command at Harpar's
Ferry, and has sufficient force.

Nov. 14-A rebel brigade, which has been re-
connoitering our position on the Rappahau-
mock, left Jefferson to-day for Culpepper.
PleaEantcn drove their rear guard from JEFF
| fersor. There are Indications that the rebels
are eyacuating Cu7pepper. Jackson is said to
| be still In Chester Gap. We have force In
his front which prevents bis coming down
this side.
