FoRrRgss MoSRos Saturday, Jolly &C. 1862
lam credbly informed that large Rebel forces are
helm, concentrated on the line of the james River,
above the Junction Of the Appo'tamox and James
kivers. They came down from Richmond by the
Richmond and Petersburg Railroad. IL il believed
they already number from 0,00O to 10000 men, and
that Stonewal jackson is in command of them, not
withsuanding the rumor that lie is in pursuit Of Gen.
Pope.
NY informant is very confident that the Rebels are
now making bold stand at the above-named place,
and are bringing eli the forces there they spare
from Richmond
My informant also believes that il is the intention
of the Rebels to make an attack very soon on Snf-
folk as they are said 10 be 70 miles of that
city with considerable force.
The steamer Mystic arrived this morning at Fort
ress Monroe, from Washington, loaded with comnls-
sary Stores and left at for larrsons Landing.
The steamer K. Donaldson leaves here this after
noon, for the James River, with comnissary stores.
Tie Nellie Baker has been repaired, and started
ON her first trip to-day to Harrson's Landing, loaded
with clothing Tor the army.
Three companies of Gibson's Battery passed here
to-day route to Harrisons Landing. The COM
panies full, and every man in perfect health.
The night before last company of Rebel cavalry
came down ON Gloucester Point, opposite York
town. and seized and carried of lot of contrabands
that had accumulated there and also forced into the
Rebel army AL the male Inhabitants that could be
found there capable of bearing arms. They then ,et
FIRE to lot Of slip-timber, and, taking with them
their trophies took their departure.
The Rebel cavalry are almost daily prowling
about that region seeking plumber Of any kind, and
pressing into the Rebel service all the they can
find wLo they think be Of any use to them.
Similar depredstions are being committed in the
immediate vicinity of Williamsburg, whether by the
gnerrl as or the regulars Of the Rebel army it is hard
10 determine, for the guerrias often 90 clothed like
the regular Rebel cavalry. BY this disguise they
assame authority which otherwise they could not do.
In their masked characters they commit many DEF,
seds,ions, telling civsns hey have rigbtiul author
ity for their act being regular Confederate cavalry
