NEW YoRK, August l4.--.Ihe New York
Times Washington correspondent says Pope
is pushing forward. Sigel and Mcdowell are
understood to have crossed the Rapsdian and
to be at Orange Court House. The rebels had
been expected to make some stand there but
it now seems probable that we will meet with
no opposition this side of Gordonsyille. Jack
son is understood 10 be making every prepara-
ton for defending that as vital point.
Some appreheasions are expressed that the
rebel General, Stewart, now with jackson,
may make an attempt to renew his Richmond
exploits of making cavalry dash around The
rear of our army with q view Of breaking our
line of communications. The bridge across
the RappshsnnocK is the only point supposed
to be in danger from such movement. Meas
ures have been taken to foil any attempt of
the kind.

pocket out, obtaining some $3.50, leaving him
