that gratitiei to night by tbe Intelligence that
il skrnish occurred last night in the vicinity Of
Pooiesyi!le between about liU Union cavalry uu- !

and superior force OF rebel cavalry; also by the !
rumors, which pretty wel aatheut t.caf ed that !
battle has been going on 10 day upon The Virginia
side opposite Poolesviile and about rs miles aboy.
this city. II s understood that Gen Sumner |
eorps was thrown torwari with the expectation OF |
nterce pting the rebel ioops who said 10 be /
concentrating in that vicinity for the purpose OF !
crossing into Mary laud
The most reliable anOng the conflicting rumors !
is that the rebel forces, comprising At 1. guess Il |
hundred thousand men, were still moving yester.
day through Thoroughare Gap branching OF into |
the valley. and stretching upwards towards Ha.-
per's Ferry.
Paroied prisoners say that the rebel soldiers e.-
pressed their confidence Of crossing into Mo
ryand in heavy force in the course OF four days.
They doubtless will make the attempt.
Large numbers of veteran troops from the pen
insuIa continue to land among as, ald are hourly
passing cur streets and those of Ale x;udra 10 the
various positions assigned to them by order Of Cen
Mcclellan. In the r.eauw bile the infantry OF the
enemy seem entirely 10 have disappeared from ctr
immediate front.
A band OF eleven hundred paroled Union prisoners
arrived here last night from Fairfax Court House

Stuarts cavalry, aud turned loose lad their way
into our lines as best they could
Quite many Union sragglers passed the bridge
nterInixed with them, 10 being Impossible to sort
out the separate lots in the dark at the bridge -
That however, is being done 10 day under orders
of the Military Governor, who will have doubtless
returned the stragglers TO their several regiments
by night.
From intelligent and cool headed men among the
returned prisoners IN 1Geston, We learn tha. the
main force Of the enemy has certainly been drawn
back TO the north northwest, and northeast Of air
back through ThoIoughfaIe Gap, or forward 10 tho
Potomac q: I.eesburg, with eqnal facility.
The impression continues TO prevail IN military
circles here that Les il sarey preparing TO the
Potomac above. II is dot Ieliev ed that he viii
gain any ything by nuch attempt. ar that IL is
10 be dreaded.
There has been lighting whatever on the front
in the last twent y-four hours.
