LITTLE WASHINGTON,

Rappahannock County, July %.
The report recently telegraphed from War
renton that jackson =vas at or near Gordons-
vile, is confirmed from other sources, which
state that he is at Louisa Court House with
$4,000 men, and Ewell, with a corps of Jack
sons command, is at Gordonsyie, making a
total of 10000 men. His present intention is
said to be TO assume the offensive, and break
our lines, and if successful, to demonstrate up
on Washington, for the purpose of drawing off
our forces from Richmond
As many misstatements have been publish
ed in regard to the expedition commanded by
Gen. Hatch, it may not be inappropriate to
make the following statement, as given by
returned officer: After marching TO Cupepper
Gen. Hatch pushed his whole force to the
Rapidan, where, in consequence of the des-
struction of the bridges, and the high state of
the water, he was compelled to leave his artl-
lery and infantry. With his cavalry he pushed
on to Orange Court House. where he learned
the enemy were in large force at Gordonsville.
He sent company of the Va. cavalry towards
Gordonsville, who approached within miles
of the latter place, and confirmed the report of
the enemy's presence and strength. On FRI
day, the 18th, two brigades, supposed to be
commanded by Gen. Ewell, made their appear
ance at Orange, and on Saturday, after severe
skirmishing, Gen. Hatch fell back at Culpep-
per. On Sunday % men of Co. A.. n. Y. cav
airy, were captured by the enemy, owing, it is
said TO the incredulity of the commanding
officer, who did not believe a statement that
the enemy were advancing in force upon his
outpost station. Two or three men, whose
horses were saddled, made their escape At
ter returning to Culpepper, Gen. Hatch made
another incursion to Madison, and thence
northward to Sperryville, ascertaining that the
enemy were not in force in that direcrion.
That Jackson is in great force at Louisa and
Gordonsville, is beyond doubt, and that he in
tends to attack at very early day, is fully be-
lieved. Gen. Pope's forces here have no OBJ
lection, but rather desire that he will make the
attempt.

WASHINGTON, July 25.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 23d, says:
"The basis of the exchange of prisoners has
been the cartel of 1872. This cartel marks an
important era in the war. 1t is the acknowl-
edgement of our quasi nationality. We are by
1t made belligerents, and the government of
the United States treats with the government

plasters.
The Enquirer claims that one more confed-
crate victory will end the war, and that COM

upper hand in Richmond.
The Enquirer complains of bogus military
guards who shoot down men wantonly. and do
a great deal of mischief in the way of robbery
and bruising 1t also speaks of struggling des-
peradoes, runaways, from camp, whose occu-
patton is stealing, bruising, rowdyism.

Hereafter no guards will be placed over pri-
vate houses or private property of any descrip-
ton whatever. Commanding officers are re-
sponsible for the conduct of the troops under
their command, and the articles of war and
the regulations of the army provide ample
means for restraining them to the full extent
required for discipline and efficiency. Soldiers
were called into the field to do battle against
the enemy, and ii is not expected that their

the private property of those most hostile to
the government. No soldier serving in this
army shall be hereafter employed in such SER
