sTuAsBrRG, Monday, May 10, 1863.-It is
currently reported and credited in military
circles that 2,900 rebel cavalry, attached to
different commands, have bcen disbanded and
formed into guerrilla bands, occupying the
various mountain ranges and fastnesses. Col.
Geary few days since learned TINT these
bands were in o cave firc miles from Rector
town and made arrangements to surround aud
capture them. On reaching the cave, he as
certained they had vacated it the previous
day.
Forty men and horses had evidently been
there some time, the former living sumptu-
sus1y, Judging from the empty bottles, boxes,
cans, &c. II is probable they were n portion
of the force which captured Geary's guard
train, near London, last week, and retreatcd
toward War1enton on Gen. Shields approach.
Col. Geary has been ordered to report to
Gen. Banks in future.
lie has been relieved from guarding the
lower portion Of the Manassas road, which
duty he performed for several weeks, to the
extent OF fifty miles Of the Blue Ridge and sd
jacent ranges and spurs, which are infested
with bands of guerrillas, who watch every op-
por1upity to shoot and capture our pickles
and foragiDg parties. Their familiarity with
the mountain passes enables them to e1ude
pursuit.
