To-day's Star says large force of rebel
cavalry doubtless crossed the Rappallannock
last night at KeiIey's Ford, few miles below
the Rappahannock station. Their movements
from that point indicate raid upon our forces
somewhere in the vicinity of Stafford Court
House. Persons who came into our lines yes
terday represent that considerable rebel
force is now at Warenton, while others say
that Jackson, with the same force, has gone
up the valley to Strasburg. Ii all these things
be true, our belief is that the venturesome
rebels will find their movements duly attended
to by the Union forces.
The Star also says;-Last night our picket
cavalry guard out from Centreville, on the
Chantilly road, were all but one captured by
rebel force Of about 100, after firing two
rounds. An example will be made of the
officer commanding this picket, by discharg-
ing him from service summary for permitting
their surprise to succeed.

extinguished. The damage done will not ex-
coed $50. Mr.. johnson thinks the fire was

FROM HILTON HEAD.
Trouble among Federal Officers.
Blockade Runners from Charleston.

NEW YORK. Feb. 26.
Steamer Augusta Demismore has arrived
from Hilton Head, 10th. We are indebted to
the Herald for synopsis of its correspond
ence.
Gen. Thomas j. Stevenson of Mass, was ar
rested by Gen. Hunter on the 10th, for public
~ declaring that he would rather be beaten by
the rebels than fight with negroes. General
Stevenson was recently promoted for bravery
in North Carolina.
The rebels in Savannah are straining every
nerve to complete their new iron clad, in
which they express great confidence.
The rebels announce that four steamers ran
the blockade at Charleston in one day-the
Ruby, Leopard and Wagner, from Nassau
The fourth is not named-bound for Liver
pool, with j. b. Clay of KY, aboard.
Gen. Hunter has peremptorially ordered all
the staff of Gen. Foster out of the department
of the South for utterance of sentiments tend
ing to create disatiection, INSTRUMENTATION and
mutny.
Heavy firing was heard in the Oqueechee
river, and it was supposed the Union iron clad
Passaic and the rebel iron clad Atlanta had
met in conflict.
