Rebel Pickets Say Sumter is Ours.-.

New YORK, Aug. 26.-The Tribune has
the following special:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoroMAc.1
eEt Aug. 25, 1868. s
The cavalry pickets of the enemy called
yesterday morning across the Rappahan-
mock to those of our own that Fort Sum-
ter had been taken by us. This is con-
firlnation of news received via Fortress
Monroe by Richmond papers Of yesterdays
date.
The cavalry under Fitz Hugh Lee cross
ed the Rappahannock this morning near
Crobins Rock, six miles below Fredericks-
burg, but were speedily routed by bri-
gade of infantry, with loss in prisoners of
three engineer officers and number of
privates, yet unspeciied, in killed and
wounded, before recrossing the river. Our
loss was slight. No officers were injured.
The position of the rebel army is some
what thus: Ewell's corps is near Orange
Courthouse, A. P. Hills near Rapidan
Station, Longstreet S stretches from United
States Ford to Fredericksburg, and Rick
ett's on the Rappahannock down to Port
Royal.
Lees headquarters lie about two miles
beyond Orange Courthouse, on the Cor
louisville road.
Twenty-Five rebel prisoners and desert
ers left for Washington last evening, and
several more this morning. They report
continual disaffection and desertion in the
rebel army.
VIM. King and Jno. Pearce, DESERVING
privates from the Sth Georgia regiment,
report Gen. Stuart as having been relieved
from his cavalry command, and the APP
pointment of Gen. Hood in his stead, late
ly in command of a brigade under his Or
ders.
The Heraz0s special says G. Edwards
Lester, clerk in the War Department, was
arrested last Monday at Harper's Ferry,
with important documents intended for
the enemy in his possession. Lester is
suspected of having been in communica-
ton with the rebels for some time, and
has doubtless given them much valuable
information.
Guerilas who infest the Chesapeake g.
Ohio canal, again made their appearance
yesterday on the tow path, twenty-five
miles above Georgetown. They appeared
in squads Of fifteen or twenty, but were
told by boats they hailed that other boats
were near at hand with troops on board.
No harm was done.
An active pursuit of guerillas, who in
fest the country in the vicinity of our
lines, is constantly kept up by our cavalry,
and more or less of them are daily CAP
tured.
The steamer Baltimore, Captain White
hall, arrived here this morning from Fort
tress Monroe.
She reports that the enemy have not
appeared upon the Potomac, reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding, and there
are no indications of new batteries at any
point.
Our fiotilla has not been able to dscov-
er any rebels upon the Virginia shore, and
the whole country wears an aspect of
loneliness and desolation.

To THE SPORTING CLUB.--An individual
brought into town last Saturday the carcase OF
a deer, which he peddled round and sold to
good advantage. When questioned on the
matter, as to how he became possessed OF 1t
during the prohibited season, he stated that his
dog accidentally chased the animal and drove
him over fence, in trying to jump oyer which
the deer not the dog broke his leg. The
sportsman, out of pure philanthropy, then cut
the suffering quadruped's throat Somebody
told us that the deer (not the sportsman) had
q perforation in vital part very much resent
bling a bullet hole. Be that as it may. the
peddler made enough out of the carcase to
cover the expense of his powder and ball.
