There is no doubt that the country between
Earper's Ferry and Washington, on the other
tide Of tie river, is swarming with guerillas,
and that stragg:ers are occasionally picked up
there By these rebels. The military orders
agsirst entering this dangerous district, row
that it has been abandoned by the army, are
strict: pus sutlsra, coEvale=cents, newspaper
correspondents and vendors run the risk.
Some of the latter have narrowly escaped
capture Tie rebels booty thus far is small.
The opinion prevails at H1rper's Ferry that
jackson is n5ditating another raid into Nary
land.
One hundred and fifty prisoners we're
brought in today from War1entou, IN Ala
