rumored movement up the river is still tie subject
of much speculation and there are good reasons Tor
believing that he bas transferred part OF his force

report that trains of artillery aud wagons are heard
nightly wendug their way up the riyer and the
balloonst, stationed at present near the Nrottcn

also reports large force tll confronting our lett
wing, and opposite "Washiug'on's Farm The
camp is perhaps three four miles from the river
and is dscernlble only from the balloon. But four
or five ANAL Rebel camps are visible below and
