Several rebel prisoners caIturcd by 81
gels scouts near Centervile. we're bro't
here to-day. They gave the loss Of the
rebels in the late battles in Maryland at
10000. The rebels have concentrated
their forces at Winchester, which place
they are fortifyipg. They regard the cap
ture of lIarper's Ferry as an offset to the
loss of the battle on the Antictum and
say their retreat from Maryland wars effect
ed in the best order. These prisoners re-
port the loss of rebel officers in the late
engagements as very great.
A dispatch from Times Special just
received, says that Lieut.. Harvey has
just returned from scouting expedition
to Leeshurg and vicinity The rebels
have cavalry in ali directions in that
neighborhood. There are no rebel sold
icrs between Washington and Centervillc
Some refugees from Richmond, just
arrived, state there are no rebel pickets
between Hanover c. II. and the Potomac
aud only 90 men were stationed along
railroad between Hanover and Richmond
Great apprehensions Of famine, prevail
among the lower classes in Richmond, the
price of provisions already being so high
as almost to place them beyond then
reach.
