Gen. Pope tas nt last left Washington, and |
taken the field. Great satisfaction prevails
over the continued brilliant eayslry feats in his
department, but there was one the other day,
in Which the Indiana cavalry COMPANY was
rather severely handled, which has not been
officially made public.
Gen. Pope's recent orders about commurl-
cation with the rebels through Fredericks-
burg and otter rebel towns, are being strictly
enforced. It is Impossible now to get even
from here to Alexandria, without procuring q
special pass direct from Gen. Pope's head
quarters.
It is stated on what seems good authority,
that not single regular correspondent Of the
New York or Philadelphia press, is now with
in the lines Of McC1el:an's army. It is said
that all their correspondence now appearing,
purrorting to come from Harrison's Landing,
is really 1nanufac1ured at Fortress Monroe.
