THE YANKEES BELOW
Reports were current on yestsfdey that the
ensuy had advanced a portion Of his forces up
the P2mu aEey, aud erosz5d them into Hanover,
in the direction of Old Church. The move
mont however, was Of little importsuee, if re-
ally made. Lister reports confirm the belief that
Gen. Dix, finding the feint on Richmond 8 fail
HTa, is sending bis maiR fercs across the country
toward Aquia creek, in order to reinforce GtsE
Hooker. It is hoped that this movement viii
not BE- permitted to succeed.
The YsrB river train still runs down as far as
Meadow station. Passengers, who cams up last
evening, report that no important move has been
made by the enemy il any direction, and chat If
a force has been sent toward the RapprhauRock,
i Waa for the purpose of Reconnaissance and
and near the White House. A prisoner, whs
was brought up, said WtA stunning air Of
c0Uhjsuce, that Gen. Dix Was only waiting for
reinforcements, and woHld take RichmeGd in a
few days

A scout arrived in the city yesterday morning,
bringing in Hogr3 belonging 70 John 3. Va
den, Of New Kent. for whom q reward Of five
kuadro3 dollars has been offered This negro
joined McClellaE's army during the battles
around Richmond last summer went vita him
to Yorktown ia his retreat, and raturned to the
White ususe with Gen. Dix. lie was caught

sixteen more wagons, and following them eight
pieces Of artillery.
There are thirty-twO regiments, consisting in

DeleWGre numbers about foUr hundred and 6fty
men, and the l6ist New YorkgiX hGndred snd
forty. The 5ih Pennsylvania cavalry are bnt
little over three hundred strong.
On Saturday, our scout, with several com
panions was in Williamsburg. They captured /
eourer who bad been t. q Colonel West, with
dispatches iron Dix, requesting him to send q
portion Of his artillery corps MP 20 the White {
hoRse. The colonel refused 30 De it, saying
that the bushwhackers had been in town that
msraing, and that ho expected them every me-
ReAt TO attack bis rear.
Our men woTe continually haHging on tbe
track et the enemy and harrassing them. Gen. !
Porter was at Diaseun5 bridge, farty niles ffon
Richmond and says that the Federal troops
cannot advance on Richmond, for foar their rear
should be loft uuguarded, sll the available force
had been withdraw from Norfolk, and the

MOVEMENTS or THE -EHElIY ABOUT RICH-
MeED,
We have bssn aisle 70 obtain bas7sry little
additional information Of the movements Of the
enemy on The Peninsula aad elsewhere east Of
shis city. Rum0rs were all day yesterday abUp6-
ant, and SONS Of them sufficiently startling An
cid genils1nan who yesterday morning arrived
here irem his farm IN King William, ten miles
Jom ths White House brought the most awful
accounts Of the number Of Yankees IN that
aeiEhboIhooa. In bis 0piHion there were
mere troops there now thar were brought BY
Mcclellan wheR he undertook 70 march to
RckmsBd. lie said. that during Mcclellan
tipae the Yankee cry was "0n to Richmond
but that new il was Haste 10 Richmond" be
ssidfho had no doubt they would be.here in
thTse days. All this, while it threw little light
upon the facts OF tie strength andF plens Of ths
enemy, showed maniiestly that the Old gentle
man was ia high state Of excitsmsnt.
Later in tia day an equally excised indiVla-
ual made his way in haste from Hanover with
tho intslligence that forty Thousand Yankees
ware at Hanover tewn and Old Town, and that
rsiafercsments were hourly arriving. He had
not seen the Yankees himself, but had been IN
formed By neighbor of their being there, and
slad pushed on to Redmond to give tho War
Dsptrlment the benefit Of the news.
Asout night, still another ssf-sppointed eou-
rier arrived with the report that our Pieksts, Sta
toned six miles below the city, bad been fired
upon and driven in.
There were number Of other rumors even
