New York, Aug. lS.- Tri5une's dis
patch says deserters report the moving of
portions ofLees army in the direction of
Dumfries, for the purpose OF thanking
Gen. Meade on the left.
Scouts report, however, all quiet as to
army movements.
The rebels are engaged in throwing
up earthworks.
Part Of Longstreets corps is at u S.
Ford
The proper disposition of our forces
has been made to prevent the advance
o. the enemy
Everything continues quiet.
The rumor that Lee had crossed a
portion Of his force over the Rappahan-
mock, has been proved untrue by our
cavalry. The army holds itself in read
mess to move at u moments notice, so
that any attempt on the part of Lee to
advance will be promptly resisted.
The Herald has the following:
HEADQUAR's ARMY PoToMAc, !
August Is, 1863
A contraband deserted from Lees
army yesterday, and came within our
lines. Hereports that Tuesday morning
the whole of Lees army, with the ex-
ception of P. Hills corps, moved from
Culpepper c. H, by the Fredericksburg
road. He also confirms the stories of
the decentralization of the North Caro-
lima, Tennessee and Alabama troops
Those from North Carolina in Hills
corps openly revolt and swear they will
fight no longer The Mississippi troops
are clamorous to be sent home. The
ccntraband deserters story of the move
ments of rebel troops is fully confirmed
by our scouts. On Saturday a large
force ofrebel infantry and cavalry with
some artillery made its appearance on
the south bank OF the Rappahannock
above Falmouth.
Another story is they crossed at Fred
ericksburg on Friday night, but l consid-
er the report of their crossing highly i'm
probable.
The news from the front this morning
is cheering, as it points to the termina-
ton of our time of non-action.
We are all momentarily expecting Or
ders to pull up stakes Heavy firing has
been heard since q.!ql9Gk, this morning,
or United States Fords, or possiLl5 as far
away as Fredericksburg. The hiring is
rapid and constant. A battle is evident
ly going on.
Large bodies of troops were moving
yesterday by rail and that our advance
has come up to the enemy may safely be
inferred from the noise this morning.

RappahannOck-Reb deserters at
tack Stuart's Cavalry.

New YORK, August 18.-A Fort Mon
roe letter to the Herald says am assur-
ed that Sumter is in a bad plight. Our
heavy and long range guns are playing
havoc on its walls, and it is stated the
side exposed to our batteries is already
preached.
A Washington special to the Herald
says this morning the enemy made a
demonstration on the left Of our army
and heavy cannonading ensued for some
time No intelligence concerning re-
suits reached Washington to-day. 1t is
believed the movement was nothing more
than a reconnaissance in force for the
purpose of feeling our position.
Lees army is reported to be moving
in South-easterly course, and there can
be no doubt the region about Culpep-
per and Gordonsville will soon be en-
tirely evacuated.
The Times special says Marks, the
deserter from Lees army, came down
the valley by way of Staunton, Harrison
burg and Strasburg. He saw but few
troops on the way.
Imboden was at Strasburg. He had

The fight at Snickersville was between
portions of different regiments of Geor-
gian and North Carolina deserters
bringing with them their arms They
attacked Stuart's Cavalry at Smoker S
Ferry, aud routed them, and succeeded
in getting to the Northerners.
Blue Ridge Mountains are alive with
stragglers and deserters, who have theil
arms with them. So numerous are they
that in travelling along the mountain
sides they have actually made paths.
The Provost Guards stationed along
the route are afraid to interfere witt
them on account of their numbers-savt
when travelling alone.
Advices received tonight from tn
Army of the Potomac state that artiller
firing occurred early this morning in tn
direction of Dumfries, supposed to hav
been occasioned by our cavalry engagin
Stuart's, who has a small force of hi
cavalry in that neighborhood.

New York, Aug. 1S-Gen. Candy
has issued an important circular defining
the duties of u. S. troops in this city and
harbor. He says their duties are limi-
ted to tie defense of the forts and the
protection Of public property, and of the
officers of the General Government in
the performance of their legal duty, the
duty of maintaining order and protect
ing the property and rights of private in
dlviduals devolves upon the municipal
authorities, but the troops of the U. S.
will be held in readiness to render any
assistance that may be called for by the
proper authorities, or be rendered nee
essary by the inability ofthe civil author
tiles to accomplish its mission.
If officers of the General Government
by comfy of the state of municipal gov
ernments in the performance of their
legitimate functions are assailed by law
less violators, it will be the duty of the
troops to protect them. If they are
charged with the protection of public
property, public buildings or other valua-
BILE interests, it will be their duty to de-
fend them to the last extremity. If call
ed on by the civil authorities to aid in
the enforcement of order or the laws,
the aid will be rendered promptly, cheer
fully and efficiently
The troops that have been brought to
the city, and who may be called on to aid
in the maintenance of order and the en-
forcement of the laws, must themselves
act the orderly and soldierly conduct,
and the attention of all officers and men
is especially directed to this point.
