NEWS FROM MANASSAS,

WASHINGTON, March 12-Information re-
ceived from gentleman direct from Manas-
sas, who left there at 10 O'Clock this morning.
represents that the condition Of the army ia
about the same as it was yesterday afternoon.
The report prevalent that the rebels were
again concentrating in that vicinity is without
foundation. On the contrary, there is little, if
any, doubt that the rebels have retired toward
Gordonsville, and that they rest with their ad-
vance at the Rapidan river, their camps ex
tending back to Gordonsvile twelve miles
WASHINGTON, March II Accounts from
Manassas, tonight, say that nothing OF much
value to our army was found at that place.
The wagons, about 80 in number, were old
and worn out, and had evidently been impress.
sed into the service. The conrabands from
the surrounding country came in and helped
themselves to whatever clothing they could
lind, and also to the compulsory stores, such
IS flour, bread, meat, and cooking utensils,
which the enemy had left behind them 1t
was ascertaned from the prisoners captured
yesterday, namely, Capt. Woods and tour pri
Yates of the Louisiana Tigers at the first sta.
ton on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad
beyond Manassas, that a company of that corps
had Just retired as our troops advanced into
Manassas. The works deserted by the enemy
are not occupied by our troops.
"A large number OF the rebels in leaving
Bull Run took the Warrenon turnpike lead
ing towards Richmond. The rebel rear guard
in passing through Gainesville, six miles from
Bull Run, fired and destroyed the village.
Moore's extensive Touring mills at the loot of
Bull Run mountain, and six miles from the
stone bridge, were also burned. The railway
stations and bridges for the distance OF about
fifteen miles were also destroyed yesterday
morning.
1t is supposed from what could be gathered,
mixing a fair average for the number the huts
could contain, that the rebel troops at Mauas-
sus did not at any time exceed $4,000 men,
and that not more than 10000 have occupied
that section within the last two months.
