Department concentrating the forces of
Mcdowell, Fremont and Banks, and re-
marks of the latter that he is notOriOuslv
one of the most dangerous Of the Union
commanders, an officer of great activity
and daring, and is very apt to do mex
Iected things, 1t adds that the foray into
Orange county, and the destruction Of the
railroad bridge over the Rapidan, by the
enemy, is challenge on the part Of Pope
that our Generals have now to take up. e.
The Enquirer, commenting on the threat

says we must dig, dig, dig, or Mcclellan
will dig into Richmond. The spade can
only be conquered with the spade and the
shovel will always defeat the musket. o.

Lincoln, Stanton and Winfield Scott, passed
by Old Point on Tuesday last, en- route for
McClellan's headquarters at or near Berk-

which conveyed this dirty trio of Yankee
negro stealers, says there was a band Of
