! Nidnight-On the Northern Central rail-
road six bridges have been burned between
| Goldshoro and York, a distance of sixteen
miles. Great anxiety is felt for the safety of
| the Pennsylvania railroad. The enemy's
movements show they are endeavoriug to
reach it some thirty or forty miles west of

idly arriving for the defence of the capital.

About l o'clock another small force of reb-
els appeared at Sykesvic 81 miles from Bal
| timore, and destroyed the railroad track. A
rebel cavalry force encamped last night at
! Sandy Springs, Montgomery Co., and sent out
| scouting parties This force is supposed to
| be the same that has appeared at the points
above mentioned. The road to Washington
is as yet unmolested by the rebels.
| WASHINGTON, June 29.-Ihirty Of tile de-
tachment OF SCOTS cavalry, who encountered
the enemy at Fairfax Court House on Satur-
day with Maj. Remington and Capt: Cambell,
have returned. About fifty, including three
lieutenants, are yet to be accounted for
1t is said that $50 colored men were cap
tured by rebel cavalry at Edwards Ferry
yesterday, together with fifteen barges loaded
with stores. The barges were burnt with
their valuable contents, consisting oil rations
OF all kinds. The rebels generally agree that
| 100 negroes were captured with the large
| train OF wagons near Rockville on Sunday. A
| gentleman in that vicinity had ID horses sto.
len from his stable.
a large drove of very fine beef cattle, uot
| far from Mechanicsville, in the same county
Montgomery, was secured, through the Wig
lance of Col. Beckwith, and with wonderful
speed driven into Washington this morning,
by crcuitOus route. 1--WE OF our citizens,
visiting their families near DrainSvle, have
| returned hlther, minus their carriages and
| horses, which were coniscated by the rebels
They represent that the enemy consisted of
nearly 1000 men, with Is pieces of artillery,
under Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. They crossed the
| Potomac at Muddy Branch, taking anumber of
! prisoners. All the horses and forage about
| DrainsvilIe were seized by the rebels The
enemy's cavalry made their appearance at
numerous points in Montgomery county yes
terday and this morning, selZing all the finest
horses, to take the place Of their faded ami
mails Some few of them showed themselves
| as near Washington as Silver Springs, five
miles from the city, but did not remain long.
F., The raiders this morning stopped the stage
| which connects with the railroad at Laurel,
taking out the horses, but not otherwise in
leFlSrlDB WIFI luS uTlN SI VI pdooSuSeIS' paluy
| Spring, four miles from Laurel, was also rob-
bed OF similar quadrupeds.
A gentleman just returned from Virginia,
eight miles beyond long bridge, reports the
rebels also engaged in horse stealing i'll that
vicinity. A farmer living several miles be-
yOnd the eastern branch Of the Potomac, was
on Saturday visited by some rebel officers,
who particularly inquired as to the location
and strength of the Notifications IN the neigh
borhood.
1t appears, from these and other facts al
ready known to the public, that the rebel cav
airy is operating to some extent around
Washington. But their depredations will, in
view Of present indications, be OF short dura-
ton.

information from York, from source which
he considers perfectly reliable The rebel
forces at York are 10, 900 strong, under Gen.

10000 pounds of beet, 30 bags OF coffee, and

has given them twehty-four hours to comply
with his wishes. The rebel troops which
were at Wrightsvilie, opposite Columbia, fell
back to York to-day. Imboden, with six
thousand troops of all arms, is believed to be
twelve miles from Bloody Run, and advancing.
