II has been known for several DAYS
past that the rebels have been moving up
the valley, apparently with view OF pass
ing into Maryland. The most correct
report this morning was that infantry,
cavalry and artillery reconnoitered the
Maryland side and then returned to Vir-
ginia. The camp fires and the false ru.
n,or., ct the rebel. themselves in c;rou,a
ting, were doubtless intended to deceive
our forces. Tonight tits said the rebels
have crossed near Point Of Rocks and to
the Monooacy and now occupy Fredericks-
town, Md, in force. Military men think
tho movement favorable for operations on
our side.
