Special TO the New York World
The Horids corresponds at Wsrrentou brings
the following today TIE advance forces are
now resting on the Rappahannock our pickets
extending 70 that stream. The railroad is now
in running order 30 Cedar Run, within two
miles of Warrenton Junction, and thirteen mixes
from the Rappshauuock It win take several
days 70 complete the bridge over Cedar Run,
inssmuch as tie recent storm has swollen al the
streams very much Neither Bull Run OF Cedar
Run can be furded at present.
No troops can move except By railroad. The
cavalry piczets extend some distance southeast
Of Brentsville, and skirmisAss with the rebel
scouts are Of daily occurrence.
As the army proceeds south the c05ntry be-
gins to present fewer appearances of the Tayages
Of the enemy, though in no locality has there
yet been discovered sufficient supplies to sup
port either the men or horses for more than one
day.
The reports of the enemy's position are indef-
mite and Uncertain. Contrabands and refugees
from Fauquier and CulPeppersay the rebel army
hal diminished greatly ia its proportions, and it
is refreshing on Richmond as rapidlya as possible,
having nothing but scouts and guerrillas in its
rear TO watch our movements Il would seem
from this the rebels are not reinforcing Magru-
der, and intend to make no stand this side OF
Richmend
FROM H'CLELLAN's COLUMN.
B~ALTIMoBE, April IO.-The Old Point boat
has arrived. The news Of the capture of Island
No. 10 caused great rejoicing and enthusiasm.
The storm had somewhat abated towards even
ing. Reports from the army represent our
forces bearing the exposure undauutedly. The
enthusiasm and anxiety to meet the enemy was
UEabated, and confidence in Gen. Mcclellan
was Unb01lrded.
While the storm at this time was unfortunate,
the time has not been lost, and the retreat, or
defeat, Of MagrUder and bis forces, is considered
certain. The prospect Of clearing up is looked
for with anxiety at Old Point, in the belief that
sunshine and Merimac will come together. All
