An Exploring Expedition.

! ALEXANDRIA, VA, Sept 26.-An engine
started from Alexandria, yesterday, and pro-
ceeded as far as BristOw. Shortly after ar
irving there a train of cars was seen ap-
preaching from the other side, but which, on
discovering their danger started back and dis
appeared. Eight rebel prisoners were found
at Bristow who had been stationed there to
guard and assist in loading the debris found
among the ruins of the trains destroyed at
that place. They were captured and brought
down as prisoners. Sixteen freight cars were
also found uninjured at Manassas with about
half car load of ammunition which had
been piled on the ground and covered with
canvas. The rebels it seems got the idea,
started by some Union prisoners, that this
was an Internal machine, and so refused to
approach it. 1t was loaded and with the cars
all brought down to Alexandria.
No other troops were discovered in the vi
cinity. 1t was ascertained from good author
ity that trains were running regularly, night
and day, to Culpepper, bringing supplies to
the enemy, which were conveyed in wagons
from that place, by way of Sperryville and
Front Royal, to Winchester. The Rapldan
bridge has been rebuilt, and the bridge over
the Rappahannock was to be finished to-day.
All the engines and cars not completely de-
stroyed have been run from the stations above
Bristow, and are now being used by the rebels.
Last week the line of pckets established by
the enemy reached from Winchester to
Brentsville, point some six miles south of
Manassas. This was to prevent residents
south of that line escaping impressment,
which is now being enforced in Virginia,
where they have sway. Many, however, sue
ceeded in eluding the pickets and reaching
our lines, leaving their families and domestic
effects behind.

military operatlons on the POTOMAC.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 26.-The Americans
special, dated near Sharpsburg, 24th says -
''Our troops are learning some tactics of the
enemy, and since the rebels were driven over
the Potomac at this point have kept them
awake with reconnaissance across the river
Col. Warren, commanding the brigade at this
point, sent over a company of the 9Th New
York recently, and brought back fine brass
piece. The rebel pickets fell back as our men
advanced, and drummer of the 9TH, whom
Col Warren had sent over as a punishment
for showing some nervousness while I'M
der fire, on a previous occasion, brought
the gun over. An attempt was also made
to bring off caisson, but the rebels raj
lied and took it off. The regiment was drawn
up on the canal bank during the affair and
some shots were exchanged but without Sc
rlouS results. One man, sergeant Crowley of
the fifth was wounded in the leg.
Yesterday afternoon, the 62d Pennsylvania
regiment, Col. Switzer, with a section of the
LIST New York artillery, while attached to
Griffin'S brigade, crossed the river at Rey-
nold's ford, below Shepardstown, and brought
over four hundred rifles, mostly marked Lon
don, 1862, and one fine 12~pounder rifed
brass piece, of English manufacture. The
affair was accomplished rapidly and with en-
tire success. The rebel pockets fell back as
our men advanced, without resistance, and
not even shot was exchanged. These little
affairs have excellent effect upon the men,
and their cheering as the prize reached this
side was hearty and enlivening.
1t appears to be well ascertained that the
bulk Of the rebel army still remains along the
other bank of the Potomac All our recon-
noiSsances find them in strong force, and the
smoke Of their camp fires can be seen oppo-
site all the fords. As it is part of shrewd
rebel tactics to show most activity where they
have least force, these manifestations are not
to be altogether trusted 1t must be difficult
TO feed an army do large that Vf tho robelo
at point so far from railroad communication,
and it is probable that large portion of their
force have fallen as far back as Winchester.
Three or four hundred wounded prisoners
left here by the rebels were yesterday paroled
snd sent across the river under a flag Of truce.
The flag was also used to agree to a suspen-
sion of picket firing, and now pickets walk
along the opposite bank Of the river without
molestation or fear.

New YORK, Sept. 26.-Advices from Vera
Cruz to the 18th, state that the vomit was
making dreadful havoc there. and the French
war vessels are suffering severely. Many
: physicians have died, and only two are left i'll
the whole fleet.
Great anxiety was felt for a convoy with one
million dollars for payment of French troops
at Orizaba which had not arrived, though ten
DAYS overdue. The authorities at Vera Cruz
gave out that it was stuck in the mud, and
that a river had swollen to such an extent as
to be unfordable. 1t is presumed by well in
formed persons at Vera Cruz, that the guer-
rilIas have captured it, as it is known that
they knew of its departure, and of the specie
it conveyed
1t was reported that the French were about
to attack Jalapa.

from the Richmond Wing, 24thl
A dispatch signed IL. b. Davidson states
that the federals have crossed the river at
Shepardstown with 10000 men, and were i'm
mediately attacked by Jacksons corps and
routed. jackson has recrossed into Mary
land. Considerable reinforcements have
reached Gen. Lee since the battle at Manass-
as, enough to replace the losses in the recent
battles.
The yellow fever is in Wilmington, N. c.,
and is very malignant. The telegraph opera
tor had closed his Office and removed to Colds
borough.
lFrom theRichmond Dispatch, 24th.1
The Yankee fleet anchored in front of AL
eXandria has been ordered off The Eederals
have burned their disabled wagons, and were
removing all their stores to Washington. The
same paper claims arebel victory at Shepards
town on Saturday last and capture of over
1000 federals.
Speaking of the army, the Dispatch ssys
only division or two have been withdrawn
from the other side of the Potomac to resist
the contemplated movement by Burnside upon
our communion at Harpers Ferry. 1t states
that Gen. Lee repulsed Gen. Mcclellan on
the 18th, pursued him on the 18th, and de-
feated him on the 10Th. All the rebel papers
brought down claim victories in all the recent
battles, and call upon the people of the CON
federate states not to believe one word con-
tanned in the northern papers of northern sue
cesses, aud that Gen. McClellan's account of
these battles fully equal Pope's for misrepre-
sentation.
