No rebel camps are visible on the
Heights beyond fredericksburg, to-day
Many Of the horses that were seen in tht
fields have also disappeared.
The rebels are showing renewed activity
along the Upper Rappahannock, and ar
massing troops along o. S. and Kelly s
Fords.
tits not, however, thought that they in
tend to cross, though the prospect of an
early battle is beginning to be discussed
in the army.
Times spectral:
A accommodating force was sent out by
General Milroy at Winchester, arrived at
Fairfax this evening. They came in via
Adde'S Gap, and report no rebels visible
in the country traversed
Great destitution prevails among the
residents in that part Of Virginia.
There is very little land under cultiva-
ton this season.
The Herald's special dated Washington,
May 9th, says that it is considered BY
most Of the military men that the rebels
look to re crossing the frontier, while
every effort shall be put foTTb.Sto crush
Grants army, if he be able to take Vicks-
burg by storm. He has acquired, by a most
perilous movement, foothold in the rear
of the city, which cuts off the entire va
zoo region, and viii thereby enable him, if
properly reinforced, to push back the rebel
base to thegreat river of Alabama, thereby
ensuring an early fall Of Vieksburg and
Port Hudson.
Thelatest information from Vicksburg
and Port Hudson received by the Govern
ment is contained in an unofficial dispatch
that two boats 4n from A'V' 'V'ioR25bbBrg aaSyl aayl
reached Memphis.
This would make the latest dates from
Vicksburg to the 25th instant as it takes
two days to run from Yicksburg to Mem
phis.
A telegram says that,no official dispatch
es were received by the boats, but they re-
port that the attack on Vicksburg was
progressing, and that Grant was still gain
ing ground. 1t is also reported that Gen
ersl Carr has been killed.
Telegraphio advices to the Government
from the Headquarters Of the Army of Po-
tomac, report that the rebel pickets to-day
shouted across the river to our pickets
that the yankees had taken Vicksburg.-
This is undoubtedly the opinion Of the reb-
els on the Rsppahaunock, but whether cor
rect or not time will show.
Nothing has yet been heard from the
movements of General Johnston, but he is
undoubtedly engaged in collecting forces
with the intention Of attacking Grant in
the rear, but il is not believed that he can
obtain force enough before Vicksburg is
captured to make formidable demonstra-
ton. When the boats above mentioned
left Vicksburg everything was going on
well, and it is believed here in official cir
cles that news Of the final and complete
capture of Vicksburg will soon be re-
ceived.

HEADQUARTERS OF ARMY OF PoFoMAo, |
May 2s. !
The rebel army is evidently moving.
Lee issued an order which was read to the
troops a few night since, congratulsting
them upon their past achievements and
foreshadOwing raid into Mary land. He
tells them that they are to have long and
rapid marches through a country without
railroads, and calls upon every man TO be
| prepared for the severest hardships.
| Wonderful victories are promised them and
the overthrow of our army predicted as an
inevitable event. ---s--5-
Trains Of the enemy have been seen for
days, moving from the depsts supplies be-
low fredericksburg, and a battalion re-
connoisance discovered large column
pushing rapidly in the direction of Gull
pepper. Whether the army intended to
make a raid into Maryland or is endeav-
oring to get between HoOker's army and
Washington we are unable to determine
Every one is on qgi ViVe and stirring news
may be expected soon from the army ol
the Potomae Everything is quiet along
the river. Few additional rifle pits are
being thrown up on the South bank. The
rebel pickets are lounging in the shade st
though apparently oblivious to all opera
tions outside Of their own sphere.
