dispatch states
1--WE have adyices from Wanenton up
TO Sunday evening. The news that Gen.
Hatch has reached Charlottesville and cut
off the most important source of rebel sup
plies, is the subject of great rejoicing in
The army. These bold movements, and
/ the recent warlike order of Gen. Pope,
begin to inspire something ike admiration
for bin among the soldiers, who have not
as yet seen the face of their new comman-
der.
"In obedience to the spirit as well as
the temper of Gen. Popes instructions,
the rich and aristocratic rebels .. Warren
ton have already been placed under con-
tribution for the support Of the national
army.
Gen. Pope's lettes addressed TO his men
on taking command in Virginia, which
sounded bombasuc to weak minds, was
but a foreshadow of what is to happen.
He has since ordered that the army must
subsist upon the rebels, and that the war
must carry death and destruction to per-
sons and property in all rebel parts Of the
country. and if necessary conhagratioL by
fire and water. All personsil five miles
Of where any injury is done . railroads or
other property by rebels are to be held re-
sponsible, and for the conduct of guerillas
all in such bonds must suffer. Professions
of peaceful citizenship are not to be respect
ed, except in persons Of known union hab-
its; all disguised persons, those who neg
lect OF refuse to give all the information IN
their power, who harbor aoout them
doubtful characters, or who seem not active
on the union side are to suffer by death,
confiscation OF property or otherwise. All
persons living within five miles Of any Ia
railroad track must turn ont en- masse to
repair such injury,and besides pay in mon
ey OF property enough to subsist the army
in such vicinity. If any soldier he fired
upon from house, the house shall be
RACED to the ground an the inhabitants all
sent to prison. Any person detected in
such outrage must be shot.
The following is the last one Of Gel.
Pope's lighting reparts as result OF his
new Order:
