"Stoneacall" Jackson in
Large Force Of Union Troops sent tow
6Td Hancock,

WASHINGTON, October 24.-The mysterious
movements of large bodies of the enemy across
the river are creating no little uneasiness and
excitement in Williamsport. Only eight miles
distant there are fifteen regiments of The rebels,
and a larger force are now at Martinsburg.-
Jackson Is in command, us usual, and his move
ments are always regarded with great deal of
suspicion.
All are very anxious for fear of some new
disturbance from the ubiquitous Gen. jackson
That he destroyed all the property of the Bal
4imore and Ohio Railroad ON Sunday last, is now
certain What he has been doing since, on
Btonday, is a matter of conjecture 1t is fear
ed that he is now approaching the river. Reb.
els are very unusually abundant on the other
side and, since they have had no picket there
for sometime past, their present appearance
there probably means something. Gen. Keny
is vigilant and skillful commander. He will
keep a close watch of all their movements
1t is not improbable that these demonstra-
tions of the enemy are the result of the large
number of troops recently moved up toward
Hancock, ON this side of the river. They may
fear descent upon the bodies Of troops which
they have sent out for the destruction of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Information from the Army of the Potomac
shows that enough has transpired during the
present week to demonstrate beyond all doubt
the falsity of the stories which place the army
in winter quarters. Nothing of the kind is
thought Of.
The neglect in the proper distribution Of shoes
and clothing for the Army of the Potomac, on
its arrival there, is assigned as reason for the
statements that have been made that clothing
has been needed for some time among the vari-
Gus divisions.
BOLIVAR HEIcHrs, Maryland, October "a.

mand report that after the utter destruction Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad west of Mar
tinsburg, the entire rebel army commenced fall.
ing back yesterday morning; that rebel officers
believe Lees intention to be to winter near Cor.
donvillc
This reported falling back is corroborated by
unusually strong pcketing in our front yester-
day and to-day.
This morning squad of rebel cavalry came
by our videttes unpercevcd and dashed into our
infantry pickets, who were driven back with
considerable firing on both sides. We had nc

Boulders of decomposed granite, hard, gray gran
ite cobbe-stones, coarse granite sand and black
sand are the principal ingredients in the original
deposits, together with selcious rocks in great
variety. In this deposit prospects are obtained
that verify the assertion Of an acquaintance to
me on the night of my arrival here :" You are
now in the midst of the richest pLqcers that were
ever discovered in the world" 1t NAV be as
serted as true that scarcely miner here would
stay by claim if he were not sure that it wolld
pay him $25 day in good weather. Without
giving names or describing claims can say in
the bounds of truth, that $50 day to the man,
among good miners, and industrious ones, is con-
sdered low average yield for claims and this
money is made exclusively with rockers-up to
this time; but many ranges of sluices are now
ready for work so soon as thaw gives us water
to run them.
During the fall, when rockers could be Used to
advantage, instances of miners making from $500
to $500 a day were common, and less than $50
was not spoken Of AS high as one hundred and
thirty ounces day has been taken ont, and two
hundred ounces out of a hole not over eight feet
square and seven or eight feet deep. Since my
arrival here some work has been done, and am
cognizant Of cases of men making $75 to the
hand in five or six hours work, and this while it
was necessary to keep hot water constantly to
prevent the rockers from freezing up.
The gold here is very fine, and a very large
proportion will go off with the black sand in pan
ming out. When the ranges of sluices, now
ready, go into operation quicksilver can be used
to great advantage, and doubtless will be. The
results from the use of sluices must be astonish-
ing, and in the spring a season of unparalleled
prosperity among miners may be looked for.
Fully believing in the richness of these mines,
finding the largest stories reported below rather
below than above the truth. there are many here,
and more coming, that will be disappointed, no
matter how well they may direct their exertions
To discover rich diggings is'by the favor of for
tune, but to get the gold out of them man must
depend upon himself.

THE CLIMATE.

From Christmas day to the 18th of January
the weather here was very cold At sunrise the
thermometer averaged about 8 deg, Faren-
heit, below zero, ard on one occasion sunk to q
deg, at midnight. Almost every day there is a
light fall of snow, which keeps at the average
depth of five feet, notwithstanding occasional
thaws. Under this discouragding state of affairs
prospecting has gone on, and many a man will
never regret the recollection which sent him out
of frosty morning to hunt for gold.
All hands are now waiting impatiently for win
ter to break up, and are actively preparing to take
advantage of the waters that will come from the
melting SHOWS.
The effect of the climate on men is astonishing.
In point of physical force and endurance, no finer
body of men can be got together than the miners
hereabouts. Sickness-unlf IS from dissipation
is not heard Of Men go out in the frosts and
cold Winds and work in the water as if it were the
pleasantest thing imaginable. For consumptives,
who want dose of "kill Or cure" these noun
tains is the place.
