PARoLED FEDERAL PRISONERS.
CAPTURED REBEL PRISONERS.
Gen. Pope's army was occupied, yesterday
morning, in getting into position around this
city. II now occupies the old quarters Of the
Army Of the Potomac, and is just where thai
fne body Of troops started from, when II went
on that disastrous campaign to the Peninsula
We do not learn that the army had any din
Guilty In getting 10 its present quarters, though
there was some hsrassing Of its rear by the
rebels.
There is said 70 be large force Of the rebel
at Vienna, sad some have reported portion
Of their army at Munson's Hill This is not
probably, true.
1t Is supposed that the enemy is intending
to cross the river into Maryland. Upon thil
disposition Of the rebel, our neighbor Of the
Star remarks a. follows:
I'VE trust, II such is their disposition, that
Gen Mcclellan will indulge them in II to theil
hearts content Let them cross unmolested
leaving the Potomac In their rear.
"We know well the heartiness of the Union
ism Of the mass Of the people inhabiting the
region they must first enter. II crossing into
Maryland where they must cross II essaying
such an undertaking..
"Our forces will make short work Of them,
1t they take occasion to leave the Potomac in
their rear, the distant public may rsst assured
| We do not incline to these opinions Of the
Star. II strikes us that II our subtle foe geti
over TO Maryland, he will give US infinite trou.
BILE. II We cannot conquer him on Virgins
soil, We do not sec the process by which he Is
to be conquered 10 Maryland. We do not
think II best that our enemy should cross into
Maryland, and We trust, therefore, that Gen
Mcclellan ,oM not indulge him in any such pas
time. We do not believe II 10 be the best way
to meet danger by shutting our eyes to II, OF
by declaring that no danger exists. We have
bad quite enough Of that sort Of lullaby during
this war. Il il high time that It should cease
and that the public mind should settle down
into the sober, certain conviction, that this bus
ness Of putting down the rebellion Is no child't
play. Too much such aid and comfort has al
ready been given to the enemy by pivotal men
aud presses.
Winchester was evscusted by our tr oops on
Tuesday, as the rebels have appeared in force
10 the Valley.

lice, who went to the battle field Of Saturday
returned this morning. From him We learl
that one hundred and fifty wagons, driven b,
negroes, were sent to the field under flag Q
truce, 10 bring away the wounded. The rebel
consented TO the removal of the wounded, bu
took the negroes. Burnham noticed that man,
