THE VALLEY. ,
Very little is known really Of the movements of

Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad, and are now at Har.
pers Ferry and Martmsburg, constituting gnard
for that thorougbfare. A detachment Of Gen. Rob
ertsons cavalry is said to have occupied Winchester
on Tuesday.
SPURIOUS NOTES.
The Yankees who are foremost in every species OF
rascaty have succeeded in thrustiDg a considerable
number Of counterfeit Confederate notes upon this

also been couuterfeited.
